Various "Insignificant" Items,
Very Big Meanings
Yami

"Grandpa!" Sam and Yugi exclaimed at the same time as they hugged their respective grandparents. Sam's grandfather was ecstatic to be holding his granddaughter again. He barely even noticed that the temple he'd been spending most of his life working in was open. I walked over to Sam and her grandfather and tapped his shoulder. He slightly let go of Sam and I looked over to her with a small smile.

"Grandpa," she began. "This is my boyfriend, Atemu Muto." I could feel my eyes widen at the name she had placed before Yugi's last name. Is that..my name? Sam nodded slightly, signaling that it was.

"Yami, is that your name?" Yugi asked through the mind link.

"Yes Aibou, that is my name...it just came back to me...and to think that Sam knew..." I replied.

"Remember...she's united with her other half so things are still being sorted out in her head," he replied.

"Right, I forgot that..." I said as I extended my hand. Her grandfather took it and we shook hands.

"Pleased to meet you formally child," her grandfather said. "My name is Christopher."

"Nice to meet you as well," I said. Sam smiled widely to see that we got along well. He then noticed that the entrance to my temple was open and realized that we came from that entrance.

"Sammy!" he gasped out. "How in the world did you manage to open this?" Sam walked over to him and whispered something in his ear and he relaxed. He whispered something in his granddaughter's ear and she just signaled him to wait a moment. She walked over to me and took my hand, leading me somewhere away from the others.

"What is it Sam?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her. The concerned glint in her eyes worried me slightly.

"Grandpa wants to go inside and I'm not letting him in until you agree to it...it is your tomb after all," she said as her arms found my neck. She was right...

"How far can they go?" I asked, just as concerned as she was. I pulled her close and the tips of our noses were touching.

"Just to my magic room...there's more after that if you recall," she said with a nervous smile. "If you remember the spell well, they can discover as much or as little as we decide. But it's mostly your choice..."

"Actually...now that you mention it...I do remember something...there's an illusionary wall where the desk is..." I said as I pressed my lips on hers gently. We parted and the twinkle in her eyes had grown to something different. She nodded in response to my last statement and pressed her lips against mine sweetly. I returned it and I remembered that we had to go back to the others and tell them our answer to her grandfather's plea. "I..." I began to say...all sorts of wonderful emotions brewed inside me...somehow what I want...I can't put it into words.

"It's all right," Sam replied softly. "You'll sort it out soon enough...let's just go."

"Let's..." I said as I took her hand and walked over to the others. The others seemed relieved to see us well as we approached them. Sam's grandfather looked concerned but spoke nothing of it. Sam and I approached her grandfather and I could sense her nervousness...I squeezed her hand in reassurance.

"You can go in grandpa...I haven't touched anything...it's all just the way we found it," Sam said as he motioned him to go in.

"Thank you so much for allowing me to go in...I can call a limo to take you back to the house if you like," he mentioned to his granddaughter. She just shook her head and motioned him to go inside the tomb.

"If anything, we'll go later..." Sam said as they disappeared in the tomb's depths. She turned to the gang and Kaiba was about to leave.

"Come on Mokuba...I've had enough of this nonsense," he said as he made his way towards his private jet. Mokuba's eyes showed a hint of disappointment as he defied his brother's orders. "Come on!"

"I don't wanna go Seto!" the little once exclaimed. "I want to stay here! Even if you don't believe in your Egyptian past...I do!" Mokuba cried out as he embraced Sam.

"Seto, if he really wants to...he's free to stay with me and grandpa," Sam said while looking at Kaiba straight into his blue eyes. "Don't make me use blackmail...your brother really wants to stay."

"I don't want him involved in that nonsense! None of it's true!" he cried.

"You know..." Sam said while heading over to him. "I think that the real reason you don't want him to stay is because you've already been proven that you were a priest in you past life and don't want to know more about it because you're afraid that we'd rub it in...and I know for a fact that you hate to be proven wrong...so just admit it and let it go..." Kaiba responded by mumbling something that I couldn't quite catch. "Was that hard to say Kaiba?" she said after he was done and shook his head in response and looked at Sam in the eyes.

"I leave him only under your care," he said as he took off. "Give me a call when you guys get back," he called out as he got on the jet. Mokuba jumped happily and hugged Sam.

"Thanks Sam!"

"Your welcome Mokuba...guys, would you like to explore a bit today or head to the mansion?" Sam asked as she looked at the others. Most of them seemed to be deep in thought, thinking about what to do. I stood beside her and took her hand.

"I'd like to explore...but you already know why Sam..." I said in her ear.

"I know...but we also have to think about the others..." she said.

"Sam..." Yugi began. "We'd like to explore with you but we feel that you two should go alone since you just reopened it."

"Well explore with you tomorrow mates," Varon said.

"You can show us everything you want to...but right now...you two deserve some time to explore by yourselves...this is your past after all," Ally said as she took Yugi's hand.

"Ally...go into the main chamber and talk to grandpa and tell him that you're taking the others with you. Mokuba, you should go with them...if we see anything related to your brother I promise to show you first thing tomorrow...okay?" Sam said as she looked at the littler Kaiba brother.

"Promise?" he said while extending his pinky finger.

"Yeah, pinky promise," she said while hooking pinkies and smiling. He walked over to the gang and Ally walked inside the temple. We waited until she came out and then Sam and I waved goodbye as we walked into my tomb. We passed by her grandfather and his men as we walked further into the tomb, returning to the magic room. We walked through the wall where the desk was, trying to leave the room as intact as possible. We found ourselves in a narrow hallway and kept walking, this time my arm were around Sam's waist as we walked...slightly difficult but I just don't want to let her go. We walked through another illusionary wall and reached the main hall.

"It looks a lot bigger than the last time we were here," I said as we walked to the center of the room.

"I know!" Sam replied as her voice echoed of the walls. She rested her head snugly against my chest as we walked over to our thrones, smiling to see that they were left intact by our son. "I guess he really loved us even in absence."

"I guess he did..." I said as my eyes caught on something. I walked over to Sam's throne and picked it up. It looked like a small vile, like the ones Sam would use to keep the potions she made. I put it in my pocket to examine later. I began to walk down one of the hallways behind the thrones and I could hear footsteps behind me. I stopped to let Sam catch up and we continued our journey onward. We stopped in front of doorway and walked in. "If my mind doesn't fail me...this is Sarai's room..."

"Yeah, I'm sure...look!" Sam said while bringing something over. It looked like an old worn out scripture. I remembered that Priestess Sarai would write on it a lot. "I think we should take this...but how can we do it without grandpa noticing?"

"Remember that old trick chest that Mana had...she used it to store many things and she could always shrink it to fit her tunic pocket?"

"Wow! You're right! That's perfect! But where is it?"

"I think that it's in our room...but let's gather a few things before looking for that chest."

"Good point. Anything else that you think we should take?"

"Not right now...wait!" I exclaimed as I moved over to where Sarai kept her tunics and such. I pulled out her best ones and searched for something that I am very sure that is there.

"What are these tunics for?" Sam asked as she piled them on the bed.

"Thinking that Ally might like to see what she wore...just take one...we'll see if she wants the rest tomorrow...but right now I'm looking for that necklace of hers..."

"You mean the one she got from..."

"Yes, that one..." I said as my hand touched a delicate chain. "Nevermind Sam...found it!" I said as I brought the necklace out. It was a beautiful golden chain with a small pendant of a flower on it. It was all in precious metals...he paid no expense in getting her such a wonderful piece of jewelry, I showed it to Sam and she smiled. She took it and put it on, hiding it under her shirt to give it back to it rightful owner as soon as we see her. "Let's go walk around...once we get the chest, we'll gather everything."

"Right," Sam replied as she placed the scrolled scripture on the bed. We left that room and walked along the hallway once more. Sam was ahead of me this time and she stopped in front of another doorway, her mouth open wide in surprise. I ran over to her side and looked into the room...this was Mahado's and Mana's room. Sam and I left it intact ever since their untimely death...it caused us to much grief back them. We looked into each others eyes and without words, decided not to search that room. We kept walking and stopped at yet another doorway. "This is his room..." she said as she walked in.

"Right...this is his...anything that catches your eye?" I asked as I sat on the bed. Sam looked around and stopped at the bedside table. She opened the top drawer and pulled out a small notebook. She then got out one of his tunics and set those two things on the bed. "I bet that Yugi would want a few more trinkets but we'll see..."

"Right. Now lets head over to Seth's and Kisara's room. We need to get some things for Mokuba. I promised him."

"Right...then we head over to the best one of them all..."

"Our room..."

"Right you are my dearest..." I said as I kissed her lips with a desire that I didn't know I had hidden. Automatically finding her waist, I brought her close...not wanting the moment to end. I could feel Sam's mouth open slightly and my tongue slipped between her lips and savored Sam's sweet flavor. We parted shortly after for air and Sam's face was flushed but smiled at me nonetheless.

"I um..." she tried to say but somehow words couldn't come to her at this moment. She took a momentary pause to let it all register and tried to speak again. "We need to gather a few trinkets from the other rooms that I just remembered..." she said. "Meet me in Seth's room. I'll be there in a few...all right?"

"Take your time..." I said as I kissed her lips softly as let her go to search what she needed to get. I walked all the way to Kaiba's room and looked around for his journal and a few personal things that Mokuba might like to see. I made a small pile on the bad and rummaged around for some of Kisara's personal trinkets. The whole place was silent...it was odd since this palace was usually full of life. I placed some of Kisara's things on the bed and began to pace around the room...thinking about what I was feeling, trying to sort it all out. I felt myself being lifted of the ground and a hand covered my eyes.

"Very funny Sam," I said. I was placed on the ground gently and the hand was removed from my eyes. She pouted, making her look more adorable than angry.

"You found me out!" she said again placing the pout. I tilted her chin up and smiled.

"So what if I did?" I said as I kept her chin up with one hand and brought her close with the other. "I find that pout appealing..."

"Really now?"

"Yes..." I said as I claimed her lips in a small kiss. I smiled as we parted and she just blushed. "Now lets head to the best room in the palace..."

"Ours..." Sam said as she took my hand and pulled me with her to said room. When we got there was saw that it was as intact as most of the rooms in here. Sam just rushed over where she kept most of her jewelry and pulled out something tiny. "Found the chest..." she said as she placed it on the floor and said a charm that made it return to it's normal size.

"Perfect...and remember this?" I said as I pulled back the curtains that lead to the balcony. Sam gasped as she remembered the view and walked over to it, dropping whatever she had in her hands. She let the breeze play through her hair and suddenly I remembered of when I almost lost her today...I wrapped my arms around her tightly and I bet she could sense my sadness because she turned around and kissed me lightly on my lips.

"I'm not going anywhere..."

Meanwhile...in the heavens...

Mahado

"You can't!!!" I begged Ra.

"I'm sorry but you have to...now she needs to earn the right to be helped and guarded by you..." he responded, firm tone.

"But separating her from the pharaoh as well?" Mana cried. "I mean...they haven't fulfilled their deepest emotions at this time! They need each other! He's gathering memories...and she's truly happy for once in a long time! It makes no sense for them to be apart!"

"I know but even with the threat gone...they need sometime apart," he replied to Mana's plea...it's useless.

"How long do you want this separation to last?" I asked, fearing the worst.

"A little over a year..."

"That little?" Mana asked...I was surprised as well.

"Yes...but the separation of Sam and the pharaoh will be disastrous!" I exclaimed. "They won't allow it! Especially him!"

"Actually...Sam is thinking about not going back to Domino..." Mana said with concern in her eyes. "For a while anyway..."

"What?!?" I exclaimed. "How do you know?"

"She hasn't said anything...it's just a feeling I'm getting." she replied.

"But if you four don't separate in two weeks...I'll do it myself and I won't make any of them recall a thing," Ra said to us.

"You can't make them forget it all!!!!" Mana called.

"I'm sorry...but you have two weeks..." Ra said as he left us. WHY?!?!?! It makes no sense!

Back down on Earth...

Yami

We broke our kiss and just hugged each other. We held each other tightly, remembering what had happened earlier today. I looked into Sam's eyes and kissed her again, this time more passionate than before. My tongue rubbing against her lower lip until she finally obliged and parted her mouth slightly, allowing my tongue entrance into her mouth. I savored her tasted once more, shivers of happiness and pleasure mixed together. I broke the kiss once more...now realizing what my feelings were...what I wanted.

"Come on Yami...we need to head back...let's put everything we're gonna take into the chest..." Sam managed to say with her flushed cheeks as she hesitantly left my arms. She put in her jewelry inside and placed some of our old clothes. She pulled out some things from her blue coat and placed them inside. We shrunk the chest and placed it in one of Sam's pockets and walked over to the other rooms doing the same, until we finally reached Sarai's room. We put those things away and headed over to her grandfather.

"Grandpa!" Sam called out as we walked over to him.

"I thought you left with the others..." he replied.

"No! We looked around the outside to see if we found anything else..." she replied.

"Any luck?" he asked her.

"None...but we'll come back tomorrow...Atem an I would like to head to the mansion."

"I'll call a car then...you two wait outside," he said as he picked up his cell phone. We began to head outside, Sam taking her magic books with her as we left. We sat near the road, waiting when Sam spoke up.

"Remember that garden we used to go to when we were little?...."

Yugi

Sam and Yami were on their way to the house and we were waiting for them in the living room. Ally was sitting next to me on the couch while the others were scattered about in the room. We heard the door open and pretty soon Sam and Yami came in, blushing like mad.

"What happened?" asked Duke.

"Um...nothing guys..." Sam began. "We have some things that you'd like to see..." she said while pulling out something from her coat pocket. "Gather around..." she said while she mumbled something and whatever she had placed on the floor, grew in size, revealing a chest. Sam opened it and pulled out an old scroll. "Ally, this is for you...it's a scroll we found in your room when you were a priestess in Egypt."

"Here's one of the tunics you used to wear back then," Yami said as he handed her something. "By the way, Sam also has something of yours from back then. It was a present from someone who loved you back then," he said as he helped Sam take of a necklace. Sam walked over and placed it in Ally's hand. "Yugi gave it to you in his past life."

"These things are for you Yugi...you'll see more things tomorrow and you can take anything from your room. Same thing applies to all of you," Sam said while bringing a few things and giving them to me. She walked over to the chest again and pulled out a parchment and handed it over to Serenity. "Duke's past self wrote this to give it to your past life, and he never did for one reason or another...I think that it applies in these times too..."

"We also have this for you Joey..." Yami began as he pulled out a few trinkets and gave them to said boy. He took Sam's hand removed a ring from it and gave it to Mai. "I hope you like this...Priest Joseph gave it to you as a sign of eternal love..."

"You mean...?" Mai began as Yami just nodded. She just smiled widely and received a few more things from Sam.

"We haven't found anything concerning you Varon..." Sam began as Yami handed Tristan some scrolls and a tunic.

"No worries Sammy...it's okay...I'm sure that we can find something...but I'm glad you had fun..." Varon replied. Sammy pulled out a lot of things and gave them to Mokuba.

"There are more things in your brother's room but we managed to get that..." Sam said.

"Where do we put these things?" asked Mai.

"Suitcases upstairs...and before any of you ask... I used my magic to bring things over. After you're done, come back down," Sam said while shrinking the chest and placing it in her coat pocket. We all left the room except for Yami and Sam and made our way upstairs.

"I don't know how she does it..." Mai said as we parted ways. I was the first one to come down and saw that Yami and Sam were sitting down on the couch, waiting for us. His arm protectively around her shoulders and her head against his shoulder.

"Gathered any memories?" I asked as I sat down on an armchair.

"Lots...Sam and I would like to share some with you about your antics back then..." Yami began....we're going to have a wonderful time...I hope.

Laski: Done...

Yugi: Yep...I still can't believe Ra wants that! I hope that they find a way to stay together!

Laski: They always do...so let's just see how they do it this time...

Yami: Right...

Yugi: All right...can't wait until the next chapter!

Laski: Now that yer done...why not review? I'd really apreciate it!
