Ancient Egypt, today! Hey, back with my third fic, my friend, Megan, gave me the idea for this fic, so I'm dedicating it to her. Anyway, now that's over with, on with the fic. Disclaimer: I don't own yugioh. ########################################################################### ############### Setos' latest duel disk was finally ready. He'd been working on it for at least two years, and it was finally ready at last. He placed his favorite card, the 'Blue Eyes White Dragon' on the duel disk to test the holographic generators. 'Hum, working well' he thought as he admired the 'projection'. The tests complete, he removed the card and shut down the duel disk. Funny, the 'projection' was still there. He went up to his dragon, and gently touched it. If it was a hologram, his hand would pass right through it. The dragons' scales were silvery and smooth; his hand rested gently on them as he gently stroked the dragon he had been longing to own since he first saw the card. His heart jumped. How was he supposed to care for a dragon?! What did it eat, where would it sleep? His mind was buzzing with a million questions. One thing that troubled him more than the rest, though, was the fact that he didn't think other people or police would be too happy with him keeping a dragon for a pet.

A technician entered with Mokuba; they spotted the dragon and froze. Mokuba shook himself, "Good hologram bro.!" he said, beginning to walk over to his brother. "This," Seto said, again running his hand over the dragon that was now rubbing him with it's nose, stretching it's wings, "is no hologram, something went wrong with the program, and," he paused again, knowing how strange this was going to sound, "well, this dragon's alive." "What?!" shouted Mokuba, taking a few steps back, "what do you mean ALIVE!!!" "Come here" Seto said. Mokuba hesitated. "It won't hurt you" Mokuba slowly went up to his brother, who put his hand on the back of Mokubas', placing their hands on the dragon. The 'Blue Eyes' snorted, but stood still while Mokuba ran his fingers over it. "You know you won't be able to keep it. Mokuba said. "I can't kill it" his brother stated, looking at Mokuba as though he was insane. "Well, it's just not possible to keep a dragon in this day and age" Mokuba said, taking his hand of the dragon and turning to Seto. "I am not destroying it!" Seto yelled back, as the dragon bent down and snorted in Setos' ear, gently nudging him with its nose. Mokuba watched, seeing a joy in his brothers' eyes, a happiness light his face, that he had not seen since the had left the orphanage. "Well, I suppose if you really want to keep it, we should talk to Yami." Mokuba said, he really did not want to kill the delight dancing on his brothers' face. Seto turned to him "Yami?" he questioned, "why should we talk to Yami?" "Because Yami lived in ancient Egypt and as the monsters were alive then, he should know how to care for it." Mokuba explained, although he was explaining to a very dim child that one plus one equaled two.

As they couldn't get the dragon out of any of the doors of Kaiba Corp., they called Yami into the company. As the dragon saw him, it reared, preparing its 'white lightening blast'. Seto rubbed its silvery side, talking softly to it, and reluctantly, it powered down, looking as though it had been denied a great treat. Seto walked over to Yami "I see you've met my new pet" "Pet," said Yami incredulously, "you mean it's alive!" "Yep" Seto said, joy once again dancing across his face "so, how do I look after it, I mean, what will it eat?" "Eat," squeaked yami, "eat, you mean your serious about keeping it?!" "Yes, that's why I called you, I can't kill it, so I'm keeping it." Seto said, still looking as though this was the obvious solution. "Seto, you can not keep a dragon of all things for a pet!!!" I don't know how you intend to get rid of it, but you'd better find a way." Yami shouted, looking at Seto as though he was insane. "I'm not killing it yami, now tell me how to care for it!" Seto retaliated. Yami turned, looking to Mokuba for support but he shook his head "I've already tried Yami, just tell us how to care for this 'Blue Eyes'" Mokuba pleaded; though it looked as though it was against his better judgement. "Oh alright," yami sighed "chuck us one of those duel disks then." Seto frowned "Why?" "So I can feed your dragon" yami stated as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. Seto handed one of his newest duel disks to yami who sorted through his deck and took out two cards. Yami then played his koribo (sp.?) and multiply cards and soon the 'Blue Eyes' was eating happily. "Thank you for your help" Seto said. And yami saw, for the first time since he'd met Seto, a smile grace the young mans face. Not his usual smirk, but a proper smile. Yami smiled back, then voiced a question he wondering since he first saw the Blue Eyes. "Seto, can I 'borrow' one of those duel disks?" "Why?" Seto questioned, he could guess why yami wanted one of his duel disks, but he only had one at the moment, and he needed it. "Well, I've always wanted to meet my Dark Magician." Yami replied, he looked slightly nervous. "I would, but, I only have one." Seto turned back to his dragon and ran his hand down to its wings. The dragon spread its wings and bent low. Seto turned to yami, a confused look on his face. "It wants you to ride it. yami stated "Ride it?" Seto said, looking back to his dragon, but yami wasn't looking at him, he was fingering a small golden ring with the millennium eye emblazoned on it. "Err, yami, how do I ride it?" Seto asked, he couldn't keep the slight fear out of his eyes. "Well, you'd better talk to Joey if you want to learn to ride it," and in answer to setos' disgusted and questioning look, "Joey was the tied-best dragon rider in ancient Egypt." "I'm not letting the mutt teach me anything" Seto replied angrily. At this, the blue eyes, which had been quietly nibbling at his ear, bit down, hard. This made Seto yelp in pain. "What did it do that for?" he asked, rubbing his ear. Yami took a deep breath before he spoke. "You and Joey were best friends in Egypt, you were also main rivals for the title of best dragon rider in Egypt, but you gave up fighting each other when you realized neither was going to beat the other." Yami knew he was likely to die pretty soon from that statement. "Best friends! Me and the mutt?! You've got to be kidding me!" Seto gasped between laughter. "You may not want to believe it Seto, but it's true." Yami said pulling out his cell phone and calling Joey. He quickly explained the situation and hung up, muttering about low credit. "He's coming over, he said you'd have to let him summon his red eyes if you wanted him to teach you." "Fine, I suppose" Seto said.
