A/N - ::sigh:: I hate fanfiction net, I really do. See after I posted the first chapter, I waited and waited for a review, but got none until almost 24hrs later. This made me very depressed that no one liked the story because I liked it and have plans to make an entire series involving these characters because there are some things (like Mokuba) that are mentioned but won't come into play during this story. Well apparently something was wrong withfanfiction net (surprise, surprise), no one was getting their author alerts and therefore no one knew that this story even exsisted to review it. So yes, that is why I hate fanfiction net at the moment. Thank you so much though to everyone who eventually reviewed once fanfiction net got it's act together.

KCY - I almost cut out that part with the Bible because I didn't want people getting the wrong impression, lol. But I kept it because I wanted to really show the differences between Atemu and Yugi. I'm also glad you liked (and noticed) the long chapter. I like long chapters too but it's hard to do long chapters with Time Crisis because I have so many chapters to go through.

Dragon - I'm glad you like it. Don't worry, there will be no big twist like that in this story, lol. This is a real AU. But that doesn't mean there will not be minor twist later. :)

Pysche - Yup you finally get your Caribbean fic (well kinda). You've already done the sex on the beach thing so I don't know if I'll include that now (like I was going to for that New Years fic I never got around to writing) but lets put it this way, this story is R for a reason. Seto and Yami certainly get to have some fun in later chapters. ::grin::

QueenLizard27- No need to beg, lol. Although my ego does enjoy it. ;)

Storm Dragon Girl - SetoxYami stories keep me happy too. It's a shame that there are not more out there.

The sun streaming in from the window woke Seto from his peaceful sleep. Blinking open his eyes Seto was amazed that he had ended up sleeping for so long.

"Rise and shine beautiful!" a voice taunted and Seto's sharp blue eyes fell upon Bakura who was standing at the food of the bed with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a smirk on his face.

"What are you doing here Bakura?" Seto asked with a growl.

"Hey, hey, I was just concerned since you've been asleep for a long time," Bakura replied as he crawled onto the bed next to Seto and propped his head up with his elbow.

"Shouldn't you be screwing Ryou?" Seto asked in annoyance as he sat up and glared angrily down at Bakura. Although Bakura was his best friend, he drove Seto insane from time to time.

"He's busy cooking," Bakura replied with a small pout. "So I figured you could keep me company."

"What about the ship?" Seto asked wondering about his prime concern.

"Mai is in charge at the moment. We're a half a day out from Kemet. We'll be arriving there sometime this afternoon where the plunder will be divided and you can have a meeting with the governor before we head for home the next day. See Sleepyhead, I'm on top of things. Now lets snuggle!"

Seto knew that Bakura was joking. He worshiped Ryou to end and would cut out a person's tongue if they ever spoke ill of him. Nevertheless Seto gave Bakura a hard shove pushing the white haired individual off the bed.

"Moron! Why did you do that?!" Bakura yelled as he landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"That's Captain, not moron," Seto reminded him.

Throwing back the covers, Seto stood, padded naked over to a bowl of warm water that someone had left in his room and proceeded to wash his face.

"Put some clothes on!" Bakura complained from where he was still laying on the floor. "I'm a one man guy!"

"For now," Seto replied with a smirk before pulling on a pair of black pants.

"For now," Bakura repeated with a grin before getting a thoughtful look on his face and stood up while Seto finished dressing in a white silk shirt, black long jacket, black hat and black boots. "That reminds me. I came to get your advice on something."

"On what?" Seto asked while he completed his outfit by placing a locket around his neck and tucking it under his shirt. Inside the locket was a picture of Mokuba, which had been made right before they had left France for the Caribbean.

"I want to buy Ryou a present but I don't know what to get."

"Wow, you're really taken by him," Seto murmured in surprise.

"Just help me!"

"Well Kemet has some different shops. Look there," Seto suggested. Sure he knew treasure but he had no clue what to get someone for a present.

"Good idea," Bakura thoughtfully mused. "I'm bound to find something nice." Bakura smiled for a moment before frowning. "Wait! How am I going to buy something for Ryou if he's going to be with me the entire time!"

"Think of something," Seto replied before walking out of the door and onto the deck of the ship leaving Bakura to deal with his own problems

"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Akunumkanon inquired while looking up from the work he was doing at his desk, as the visitor walked into his office.

"Governor Akunumkanon," the man said while bowing low.

"Commodore Mahado," Akunumkanon politely replied. "I would have thought a man of your stature would be too busy to visit us all the way out here at Kemet."

"Yes, but I have a personal request," Mahado replied as he sat down in the chair at Akunumkanon's desk.

"And what is that?"

"Stop allowing these pirates to work for you."

"Privateers are an important aspect of the English fleet," Akunumkanon reminded the young commodore.

"They are scum and murders," Mahado argued. "And you're protecting them from being openly hunted down by the navy!"

"If we turn on them they will only find other countries to work for."

"They cannot be trusted! How do we know they are not sinking our own ships out in the middle of the sea with no witnesses around to see them?!"

"I trust all of the pirates I work with," Akunumkanon firmly told Mahado. "I think I have heard enough what you have to say for now Commodore."

"Fine," Mahado stiffly replied completely unhappy with the situation as he stood up. "But I will be keeping an eye on these pirates."

"I'm sure that you will. Good day Commodore."

Commodore Mahado then turned around and unhappily stormed out of the room.

The hours passed quickly as the White Dragon sailed towards Kemet.

"You're right we have a headcount of 124," Bakura grumbled disappointedly as he walked over to Seto with a list of names for their current crew. "And we collected 63,000 gold pieces after 10 months at sea. You get 40 for being the captain, I get 30-"

"10!" Seto interjected and Bakura growled at him before continuing.

"4 goes to the specialist of the crew like Ryou and the Ishtars. And the rest gets split up evenly between the rest of the crew."

"Good," Seto replied where he didn't bother looking up from where he was steering the ship.

"Any thing else you need me to do Captain?" Bakura asked. Seto glanced over at Bakura and saw the glint in his eyes and knew what was on the first mate's mind.

"Stay away from Ryou," he groaned in frustration. Lately over the past few months, things had gotten so bad that whenever Bakura saw Ryou he would go into a sexual frenzy and begin ripping off the other's clothes for sex.

"But we never get to spend any time together!" Bakura protested with a small pout. "We're both always so busy!"

"That's because it's important to stay busy if we want to remain successful pirates! Besides in five days we'll be home. You can screw him all you want after that."

"But I want to screw him now!" Bakura protested. "I need to tire him out by the time we reach Kemet so I can sneak off and buy him his present!"

"Present?" Turning their head both Seto and Bakura saw Malik standing a few feet away with a huge grin on his face.

"You're getting that cute little Rou a present and you didn't even think of asking me for help?" Malik asked in amazement with a gleeful look on his face. Malik had always been rather girly, always wearing gold jewelry he had brought with him from Egypt.

"Isis dressed you up as a girl when you were kids, didn't she?" Bakura rudely remarked.

"Either that or he was a girl in another lifetime," Seto added with a grumble.

"Guys that's not funny anymore," Malik replied with a sour look on his face while rolling his eyes. "Look, all I'm saying is that I know that kind of stuff. If you don't want my help in getting a nice gift for Rou then so be it."

Turning around Malik was about to walk down the steps to the lower deck area when Bakura's voice called out and stopped him. "Wait!" he said with a lot of reluctance in his voice. "You really know what Ryou would like?"

"Of course!" Malik purred as he turned back around and strolled back over to Bakura. "But on three conditions."

"What?!" Bakura protested.

"One, I want you to apologize to me for what you said a few minutes ago about Isis dressing me up as a girl when we were kids."

"No way!"

"You better do it or he'll keep bothering you," Seto advised.

"Damn right!"

"Fine!" Bakura said while he dramatically sighed. "I'm sorry! Happy?!"

"Yes," Malik replied with a smile on his face. "Two, I want no more insults from you until we reach Draco."

"Fine, you little pussy—Uhh. . . .brave little pirate, you."

"Well it's an improvement for you," Malik said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Third, I get to come with you while you shop and help you pick out your gift."

"No way in Hell!" Bakura yelled. "I am not going to spend my free afternoon with you!"

"Then I'm sorry, I can't help you," Malik seriously replied while crossing is arms over his chest.

"Just do it Bakura," Seto urged him with a grumble. Seto didn't like becoming involved in personal matters between his crewmembers but if he didn't intervene he would have a pouting Malik all the way home. And Bakura would be more moody then normal as well, for not being able to find a present for Ryou. "I'm going to be business with Akunumkanon and I want this stop to be as short as possible. I want to leave Kemet no later then dawn."

"Fine," Bakura eventually reluctantly agreed. "You can come Malik. Just don't annoy me too much."

"But that would spoil the fun!"

Later that afternoon the White Dragon sailed into the port at Kemet.

After taking time to split up the plunder, most of the crew hurried off to the local tavern to spend their earnings on booze and women. Not everyone picked that option however.

Ryou stayed on the ship after Bakura told him that he and Malik had an important work to do for Seto before they left Kemet in the morning. Ryou naturally believed Bakura and chose to stay on the ship instead of wandering off by himself. Ryou knew all too well what could happen if he went off alone even in a civilized place like Kemet. Therefore instead he stayed aboard the White Dragon with Isis and Rishid, whom Malik recruited to keep Ryou busy while he and Bakura shopped.

Mai and Jounouchi were also staying aboard the ship. Jounouchi was trying his latest attempt to woo Mai. Mai meanwhile just wanted some peace and quiet without a bunch of guys around.

"Did you see what I saw?" Bakura muttered to Seto as they walked next to each other through the streets of Kemet. Bakura was on his shopping journey while Seto was on his way to the Governor's mansion. Ahead of them Malik happily walked along as he took in the sights.

"If you're referring to that fancy, expensive ship at the docks and the large increase of English soldiers around since our last visit here, then yes."

"That means our good friend Mahado is around somewhere," Bakura sarcastically said to Seto.

"Remember he can't arrest us for being here," Seto reminded his hotheaded first mate. "Just don't cause any trouble and he can't toss you in jail on some kind of public disturbance charge."

"Me? Cause trouble?"

"When you finished here, I want you to inform the others that Commodore Mahado is here," Seto ordered. "I suggest anyone who is going to Draco with us to head back to the White Dragon as soon as possible because we may need to leave quickly with him around before he starts arresting half our crew."

"Aye," Bakura replied as Seto took a turn and walked down another street away from the market. Bakura then rolled his eyes when Malik walked back to him, grabbed his arm and dragged him to look at some things.

"You'll want something with a jewel it in," Malik advised as he chatted away. "Not something plain. Emeralds would look good on Ryou. The green would really look nice on him."

"So pick something then," Bakura growled.

"This one I think!" Malik declared as he held up a gold ring with an emerald in it.

"Good," Bakura agreed as he paid for the item. "Now lets get out of here before that ass Mahado shows up."

"I'm the one with a respectable career and yet you're the one calling me an ass?"

Scowling Bakura turned around and faced the well-dressed commodore. "Nice wig Mahado."

"I'm a proper English gentleman," Mahado stiffly replied.

"Like I care."

"Watch it Bakura," Mahado warned. "I can't arrest you for pirating but I assure you that while you are here I will be watching you ready to swoop down and catch you if you even take a step out of line."

Mahado shoved pass Bakura and the white haired pirate had to refrain himself from attacking the commodore.

"Let him go," Malik quietly warned Bakura as he grabbed his companion's arm. "We have Ryou's present so lets just head back to the ship."

"Why?" Bakura protested as he pulled out of Malik's grasp. "That bastard needs someone to yank that stick out of his ass and I volunteer to do that!"

"Think of Ryou!" Malik hissed. "You've seen what he is like when you're not around to take care of him!"

"Fine," Bakura grumbled. "Lets warn the crew at the tavern like Seto said. Then we'll head back to the ship."

"Agree," Malik happily replied with a sigh of relief. Malik hated Mahado just as much as Bakura but he knew if they wanted to stay out of jail while they were on Kemet they needed not to piss the commodore off.

"Father I don't want to go!"

"Atemu!"

"Father maybe you should just give in to what he wants."

"This is an important ball! I need to have someone from this family to represent us!"

"I'll go!"

"Absolutely not! It's Atemu's job as the eldest!"

Akunumkanon and his two sons were currently in the parlor of their home. Atemu was once again trying to get out of out of the ball that was happening that night but thus far was not having any luck.

"Father, Yugi wants to go. Why don't you let him?" Atemu asked trying again.

"Because you're being punished for speaking back to Shimon."

"I'm sorry about that!" Atemu yelled in frustration. "But if you'd just let me live my life the way I want too-"

"That will not happen until you can prove that you are ready to become an adult," Akunumkanon sternly told his eldest son.

"Governor?" a voice asked from the door way and Akunumkanon turned to find Shimon standing there.

"What is it Shimon?"

"Major Kaiba is here to see you."

"Very well. Go keep the major company and I'll be along in a few seconds."

Shimon nodded his head before disappearing, while Akunumkanon turned his attention back to Atemu. "This conversation is over. You will go to that ball tonight. I do not care if you end up having the worst night of your life. You're still going and you're going to act like you're having a marvelous time while you're there. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to attend too."

"Yes Father," Yugi replied while Atemu said nothing.

Giving his eldest son one last glare, Akunumkanon swiftly strolled out of the room and made his way to the hallway where Seto was waiting for him.

"Major Kaiba, it's always a pleasure to see you!" the governor graciously called to Seto.

"You know I hate your English titles," Seto scoffed. "I'm a pirate captain, nothing more. Being an English Major means nothing to me."

"Yes but our titles do come in handy when a certain governor is giving you trouble," Akunumkanon knowingly replied with a small smile on his face.

"So Mahado really is here?"

"Yes, COMMODORE Mahado is in town," Akunumkanon informed the pirate captain. "He was quite interested in ending the dealings with your kind so perhaps our English titles are not all that bad anymore?"

"I'm not afraid of Mahado, nor will I be bullied by him."

"Indeed," Akunumkanon murmured. "Lets get down to business then. I've heard you made some achievements for the crown. A promotion to Colonel seems to be in order."

With a reluctant sigh, Seto kneed before the governor who pulled out his sword and tapped Seto's shoulder. When he was finished, Seto stood back up and gave Akunumkanon an evil look. "Don't you dare start calling me Colonel now. I still hate the titles."

"Very well Seto Kaiba," Akunumkanon sighed. "Although I don't understand why you don't want to be recognize for your work."

"Atemu what are you doing?" Yugi asked as his brother suspiciously peaked out the door.

"Shh….keep your voice down," Atemu whispered. "We don't want to get caught."

"What are we doing anyway?" Yugi softly asked.

"I want to see him."

"Who?"

"Seto Kaiba. They say he's the best pirate out there right now."

Peering out the doorway Atemu caught a glimpse of a tall person standing next to the staircase talking to his father. The pirate was dressed all in black clothes that hung well off of his well-built frame. From under the pirate's hat Atemu could barely make out short brown hair that was peaking out. 'He's beautiful,' Atemu thought as he took in the tall man's appearance.

"He doesn't look like anything special," Yugi whispered to Atemu, seeing the pirate as well. "Come on, we don't want to get caught and you still have to prepare for the ball tonight."

"Yeah, sure," Atemu murmured as he took one last look at the pirate.

"What was that?" Seto asked turning his head towards where he had thought he had heard a sound. Briefly Seto thought he had seen a spiky tri-colored head but he wasn't completely sure.

"Probably just a servant," Shimon suggested to the two other men.

"Or my sons," Akunumkanon replied with a frown on his face.

"Sons?" Seto asked interested as he looked back at the governor. He had known Akunumkanon for a while but only ever heard rumors about his sons at the local tavern.

"Yes, they've been quite difficult to handle since their mother died, especially the eldest one," Akunumkanon explained to him. "They usually stay out of sight when company is around for that reason. Although the eldest is quite curious about . . . .well everything really."

"Curiosity can be a dangerous thing," Seto quietly murmured as he glanced one more time at where he had seen the spiky head. Shaking his head clear, Seto eventually turned his attention back to Akunumkanon. "I better be going now. I have other things to do before I leave the island in the morning."

"Very well Colonel," Akunumkanon said enjoying the scowl that appeared on Seto's face. "Do not stay away so long next time. If you do I might have to promote you again."

"You better not," Seto grumbled. Moments later Shimon was showing him the way out of the large mansion.

A/N - Just so no one is confused about Seto's ranks: Seto's a Captain because he owns the White Dragon. But he also holds the seperate rank of English Colonel (which he doesn't like). So when he's around Akunumkan and the other English they refer to him as Colonel and when he's around everyone else they refer to him as Captain (because they aren't English).
