A/N: This is a fantasy as you can tell. It is part 2 to the Eternal Love fanfic that I ended a little while ago as it was getting to be too long. The story of the Pharaoh and his family is far from over however. His children are still around and they will incorporate themselves in the lives of little Yugi and his friends in on way or another. Fair warning, I am not one for writing out duels so you may not see a lot of them- barely any actually, as the fic is about the events that happened outside the duel arena. There will be some familiar scenes to fans of the show but most of those scenes will have a small twist or two in order for it to fit with the plot being laid out.

I understand many will not agree with a lot of what is written but that is why this is in the fantasy genera and not in just the general one. This is purely a concoction out of my own head and I am just going where the ideas lead me.

To the mailbox:

DDCfreak: Glad you liked how I was able to tie my characters in with the new ones. I was hoping they fit in there as smoothly as I could put them. This next chapter has a little more of them being slowly brought into the life of the YGO crew…

Atemu Fangurl: Your wish is my command. Here is the chapter you have been waiting for- well not exactly, but you know (smiles)…

Dragoon-Hard Metal System 2: Thanks for reading. It is nice to see a few new names coming up in the review box lol. I did read chapter one as well as all the others in your fic. My question is will the wish ever end? Like in Liar, Liar with Jim Carrey, there was a time limit for the wish. Is there a point where the wish finally ends and things go back to normal?

Now that is taken care of- onward to Chapter 2!

Life Changes

Sanura sighed softly as she hurried from her desk with a folder her boss had sent her for. She found it odd that she would be working for a fifteen-year-old CEO, but she knew she had to. She had promised her "Aunt" Sapphira she would do her best to keep a closer eye on the young boy. This was the only way she felt she could do so without giving away just who she was. They were not truly related in any way. Sapphira and Aurora were just so close that it was common for Sanura and her siblings to call her their aunt. She gently knocked on the large door leading to the immense office the CEO could almost always be found when he was not out strategizing his next big play in the Duel Monsters Tournaments he had become a champion of. When she was given permission to enter, she opened the door and cautiously made her way inside.

"Here is the file you requested, Mr. Kaiba, sir." He glared up at her with his cerulean blue eyes, but nodded to a spot on his desk.

"Just lay it there." She marveled at the gruffness in the boy's voice. So much he had gone through had made him mature a lot faster than many boys his age. Of course, he had no choice. Sanura had remembered Sapphira breaking down in tears when she recounted the times she had witnessed the abuse at young Kaiba's step-father's hands.

"Afternoon, Ms. Hart," another little voice called out. He was attempting to be friendly, but she was not fooled for a moment. This was the youngest Kaiba. Mokuba. He had been known to be almost as ruthless as his brother when he found something he was after. He was also the champion of a game called Capsule Chess Monsters. The two boys had learned to be tough if they were going to survive in the cruel world around them. But sadly, Sanura had realized they had taken that toughness to a level that should never have been touched.

"Good afternoon, young master Kaiba." She nodded her greeting and then turned to leave the room. She knew better than to stay longer than necessary. Seto had a temper and he was not afraid to show it if needed. And sometimes, just because he wanted to. "And Mr. Kaiba, the limo is out front to take the both of you to school." Seto grunted in response but he looked up at her retreating back as he stood.

"Ms. Hart, I have seen the work you have done for this company the past few months and it seems you have a general knowledge of what we are doing. Your files have been impressive." Sanura turned back to face her boss.

"Thank you, sir." She stood there as he stepped away from his desk and approached her. He was tall for his age and almost met her eye to eye.

"My secretary was a fool and set up an important meeting during school hours. I unfortunately will be unable to attend if I am to remain in school. I would like you to go in my place." She gave him a curious look and he handed her a large folder. "Everything you will need is in here. I am trusting you to do this right and not screw it up. If you can make this meeting a success I will toy with the idea of making you my personal assistant." She bowed in respect as she took the folder from the young man.

"Yes, sir, as you wish." She gave an inward sigh and left the room, the Kaiba brothers following right along behind her until she reached her desk. She immediately opened the folder and went through the pages of notes inside. It was his new idea for improving the way to play Duel Monsters. Her job was to get the idea across to the manufacturers so it could be under way to completion. With a sigh she watched the Kaiba brothers enter the elevator and start their way to the ground level.

"You have become dark, Seto," she whispered. "Willing to do anything you have to do to get what you want. One day, you will be taught a lesson. That day will be coming soon." Going back to the notes in her hands, she was hoping her sister had better luck in her task at infiltrating the school.

Zahara settled the backpack on her shoulder as she made her way through the crowded halls. Kids were playing and shouting all around her and her head was beginning to hurt. She now was grateful she was taught with special tutors as she was growing up. She never would have made it through school at this rate. Quickly, she dodged a book falling out of a nearby locker, then dashed to the room she needed, trying desperately to get out of the suffocating hall. However, the room she walked into had even more chaos inside as the kids ran around the room waiting for the bell to ring that signaled the start of class. Cautiously, she stepped around several people to hand a slip of paper to the teacher. The teacher read over the paper then nodded to a desk beside her own. Silently, Zahara made her way to that desk and sat down, already wishing she could be back in bed, sound asleep. Instead, she looked around at the students standing and goofing around. One person in particular stood out among all the others. Sitting in the middle of the room with his face to his desk as he fussed over some cards he had spread over his desk, was a boy who was short in stature. His spiky hair was colored in red and black with blonde bangs that fell over his eyes from time to time. His eyes; yes, she knew those eyes. The wide, round, violet eyes bore the picture of innocence. There was no doubt in her mind that this was the son of her brother Adais. She had found Yugi Motou.

She watched as he continued to work at the game of cards he had laid out in front of him on the desk. One girl walked up to him. Her brunette hair was cut shoulder length, and she moved with the grace of a dancer. Zahara watched as Yugi blushed when the girl spoke to him. It made her smile to see that her little nephew seemed to have fallen in love with this girl. Her attention was distracted however, when the classroom door opened and the class grew quiet. A tall boy with brown hair, cold, cerulean, blue eyes, and a briefcase entered the room and strode purposely over to his desk. He sat perfectly erect in his seat as he removed his laptop from his briefcase to ready himself for class.

So much discipline, she thought as the bell rang and everyone took their seats.

"Class, I would like to announce our new student advisor," the teacher said as she stood to command their attention to the front of the room. "Her name is Zahara Hart and she comes to us from Egypt." Zahara stood when she heard her name and bowed her head slightly. "She will help me to assist you all till the end of the year. She is well versed in history and grammar as well as other talents that will help us all in here…" The teacher droned on and Zahara resisted the urge to sigh aloud, especially at the sight of a brown-eyed blonde boy in the back of the room making kissy faces at her. She sat down again, closing her eyes to hide the fact that she was rolling them in frustration and annoyance.

This is going to be a very long day, she thought dully.

The bell rang for lunch and students scattered. Zahara was hard at work with some notes the teacher had given her to get her up to speed on where the class was at in their lessons. She had thought she was all alone in the room when a few kids filtered back in. She heard a small clicking sound and looked up. Yugi was also sitting in the room still. He had an odd little game on his desk. It looked like a barrel with several little swords coming out of the sides. There was a cork-like piece slowly rising from the top. She watched as it was about to fly out of the top of the barrel. A boy walked toward Yugi with a basketball in his hand tossing it around.

"Come on, let's play some basketball!" one kid shouted at the one with the ball.

"Yeah, and we can let the girls play, too!" Another boy added. Zahara rolled her eyes.

Immature creeps, she sighed. The one with the ball reached Yugi's desk.

"Hey, Yugi, quite playing those games by yourself and come play basketball with us," he invited with a grin. Yugi looked up, startled.

"That's ok," he answered. "My team would just lose anyway."

Obviously didn't get any of Adais' confidence, she thought with a small and very soft chuckle as she remembered all the trouble her brother tended to get into because he acted first and thought later. He cared not what others thought. Just went with the flow and tried everything he could.

"Suit yourself," the boy with the ball said dismissively as he and his friends headed outside to play. Zahara watched the boys go and realized that Yugi must have forgotten she was there as he had begun to speak to himself.

"I wish I could play my kind of games with someone. I always have so many with me." His sad eyes brightened as he remembered something. She watched as he reached into his bag and removed a gold box from it to place on his desk. Zahara tried to conceal her gasp of shock as she realized just what it was Yugi was holding. It was not just any gold box. The hieroglyphics on the sides told her that. It was indeed the box that held the many pieces to the greatest puzzle of all. The puzzle that was her father's. The one that held his spirit. The one she had been looking for ever since her mother had dragged them to Domino City to keep an eye on the Motou family.

"I know!" Yugi was saying as he opened the box. Zahara tried to hear more but she realized he had gone into his thoughts. An innocent smile on his cherubic face.

At least he seems happy, she thought as he opened the box lid. Her eyes narrowed in anger when a hand came down, snapping the lid closed. Yugi's head whipped around as the hand snatched the box from his desk. Zahara wanted badly to jump in and help him, but her mother had specifically told her not to interfere. She was merely there to observe. Curse you mother, he needs help and you made me promise not to get involved. You and honor… This is insane! She yelled silently.

"Tristan! Give it back!" Yugi shouted as he leapt up form his desk to chase after the taller boy. Zahara gave an inward groan when she saw the brown-eyed blonde that had been making the kissy faces at her earlier leaning against the door.

"Hey Joey! Catch!" Honda threw the box into the air making Zahara's heart stop in her chest. Yugi leapt up to reach it but Joey caught it first.

"You know, Yugi, only a girl would care so much about a box." Zahara arched an eyebrow but remained silent. They still had not realized they had an audience. "You know what, I am going to take it upon myself to make you a man!" Yugi gave him an odd look before attempting to reach for the box again. "You want this box, then give me all you got!" Joey smacked himself in the chest to show Yugi his target." Yugi's face turned red with anger and embarrassment.

"You know I hate fighting!" he shouted. Joey rolled his eyes.

"No guts," he muttered.

"Please give it back," Yugi pleaded.

"No," Tristan said with a smug grin.

"What's in 'ere anyway?" Joey opened the box and Yugi shouted again.

"Just don't lose anything inside it please! It is really important to me!" Joey looked inside and sighed in frustration.

"How dumb. Here, Tristan you take it." He carelessly tossed it back to his friend but another hand reached in and grabbed the box before Tristan could even open his hand for it.

"If it is that dumb, then give it back already," the brunette Zahara had seen talking to Yugi before told the two other boys. They saw her and took off out of the room. Yugi sighed a breath of relief.

"Nice catch, Téa. Thank you."

"Yugi, you have to be stronger ever once in a while. Knock them down a peg or two or else they will always pick on you." Yugi did not want to hear the lecture.

"I thought you were playing basketball with the others."

"I was," Téa replied as she rested her chin in her hand. "Until I figured out the guys were looking up the girls skirts when they made their shots. So I quit and came inside." She looked at the box she had placed on Yugi's desk. "So what is this anyway?"

"It's a puzzle. I haven't been able to figure it out yet so I don't know what it looks like, but I think it will be amazing."

You have no idea just how amazing it will be, Yugi, Zahara thought as she made a small attempt to clean up her desk without drawing too much attention to herself as he explained to Téa the importance of this puzzle. He pointed out the markings on the side of the box and mentioned that they were hieroglyphics. Zahara has to stifle her laugh when she heard his version of what the markings meant.

"'Whoever solves this puzzle shall be granted one wish', You know what I mean?" Téa had actually begun to laugh which brought a deep shade of red to Yugi's face. They turned serious as he continued to talk about the golden box he had found on a shelf in his grandfather's shop covered in dust. Zarah's eyes widened when he commented that he had been trying to put it together for the past eight years.

"You have your whole heart in that puzzle, Yugi. You will get it together soon enough," Téa was saying to him, trying to get him to be a little more optimistic.

"You're right, Téa. I will get it soon. I will just continue to give it my best shot." He stared down at the pieces in the box.

"So what is it?" Téa asked.

"What's what?"

"Your wish?" Yugi shook his head with a sheepish smile.

"Uh-uh, that is my most treasured secret yet. I won't tell that to anyone." They both laughed and packed up their things as some of the students began to filter back into class. Zahara sighed and turned her gaze out to the window. Not only was the day beginning to be an interesting one as well as a long one, but this entire year was going to be very interesting if things kept going the way they were. It was only a matter of time before Yugi figured out the puzzle. Then everything in his life would change forever.

I hope this one was ok...I am still trying to work a few things out as I go. As you can see I am using theAmerican Dub names in this one. I just happen to prefer those names that's all... You will also see that I have given Seto his brown hair not the green hair he had in series 0 . I liked his brown hair better lol. Anyway- that is chapter 2 now I am off to start chapter 3...
