As Seto came upstairs, he ran into the high priest.

"You wished to see me your majesty?"

"Yes, Seth. I need you to arrange a crowning ceremony."

"Sire?"

Seto sighed. "It has recently been discovered that Master Yami is really my brother by blood. My father was his as well. As such he is the oldest, therefore he is the rightful king."

"Shall I set up a meeting with the royal tailors for an official fitting?"

"Yes, inform Master Yami when its been scheduled."

"Yes, my king."

Yami was just walking and thinking. 'What am I going to do. How could I say that to Seto! He probably hates me. But its just so confusing, one minute Seto and I are just best friends and feel as close as brothers. Now not only does it seem we're really half brothers but Seto's just accepted it. Now he not only wants me to take over the kingdom taking his place as king but his last name as well. I just don't know what to think or what to do. I need time to think and Seto's not giving me anytime to think.' As he was walking he happen to past by one of the offices and stopped hearing voices.

"My king, are you sure?"

"Yes, Master Yami will need your guidance in his transition to be coming king."

"What of you sire?"

"Yami's made it clear we're not family. I always assumed we were."

"But sir…"

"No, I thought we were family I thought he gave a damn about me. We've always been close; he's always agreed that we were family. I always thought he meant it. But the moment he finds out we're blood related, not just like family but real family, everything changes. I always assumed we felt the same way about each other. But apparently, I was wrong. Since he doesn't want me around fine I'm leaving!"

'Seto is leaving! I…I didn't mean to drive him away. I don't want him to go. But right now I'm not sure I can convince him to stay.'

"Sire, are you certain?"

"Yes, I don't like it but I feel it's for the best. You've taken over for Yami more than once so you now what's required of his job, Mazaki. I have the utmost confidence that you'll do a good job."

"Are you returning after your vacation?"

"I'm not sure. I don't know if I should. It might be better if I don't."

"Sir, what of Master Mokuba?"

Seto sighed, "I hate to do it to the poor kid. But there are not a lot of options. I'm sure he'd enjoy traveling but I feel it's better if he remains here. I know Yami will love him and care for him."

"Why not give him the choice sir?"

"No, he doesn't need to make this type of choice it'd be too hard on him. He has Ryo and Yami. He's finally learning to enjoy life. I'm sure he'd enjoy traveling but it's not fair to take him from them. I'm sure he'll be upset with me at first but I think it's just for the best."

'I can't believe Seto's leaving and more importantly I can't believe he's leaving without Mokuba!' Yami then walked off to try to think of what to do.

Joey had taken Serenity home since Yugi had collapsed after using up all his power to save Ryo. Yugi was able to heal his internal injuries enough to save his life. However, he was still weak from blood loss. Yugi couldn't be certain that Ryo wouldn't have a relapse if he moved around a lot. So, the doctor ordered bed rest till he'd recovered more. Meanwhile Ryo was anxious to hear what the letter said. However, he didn't want Bakura to read it in front of Mokuba or Shizuka. Mokuba because he didn't want him upset thinking about Nosaka. Not knowing what the letter may say. Shizuka well just obvious reasons, she was and may become his girlfriend again. He didn't want her hurt by the contents of the letter. If he could read cursive writing then he wouldn't let Bakura read it. But seeing as how Bakura could read it and he couldn't, he didn't have a lot of choices.

"Mokuba."

"Yes, big brother?"

"Would you do me a favor and show Shizuka here around the castle? I'm sure she'd love a tour."

Mokuba smiled. "Okay, big brother. Come on Shizuka, I'll s-show you the g-gardens first."

Shizuka looked at Ryo. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay?"

"I'm fine Shizuka. Don't worry about me. I'd just like to hear the letter in private. I hope you understand."

Shizuka placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "I understand. She was important to you when you thought I betrayed you."

"I don't want to upset you. If that letters going to upset you I won't read it."

Shizuka smiled. "Thank you that means a lot to me. But you'll always wonder what it says. So you read it." Then she turned around to Mokuba and held out her hand. "So kid, are you still going to show me around?"

"S-sure, come on." Mokuba said dragging her off.

"Ryo are you certain you want me to read this?" Bakura asked.

"Want you to no, I'd prefer to read it in private. But I know you can read cursive and I can't. You said you'd do it. If you'd rather not I can wait till I can find someone who can."

"No, I can do it, it's not a problem. I just want to be certain that's what you want."

"It is."

"Fine, here we go:

Dear Tristan

I decided to write you this letter because I didn't know how to say this in person but I have to tell someone and your my big brother so I thought you should be the first person to know...I think I'm in love, Ryo is such a great guy! He loves his brother so much! But I'm afraid to tell him how I feel because I'm afraid I might scare him away. He said he had recently gotten out of a bad relationship and I'm afraid I might upset him if I tell him. I'm not sure what to do...

Love Nosaka

Joey returned from duty and went to go check on Yugi.

"So, Yugi how are you feeling?"

"Better thanks Joey. I should be up and around in a few days. Dr. Solomon said that if I hadn't gained any power from you and the others I might not have survived. I want to thank you for your help."

"Hey it's no problem. I'm happy that I could help ya. You're my friend I'm glad I could be there to support you."

"Thanks Joey, I've always been more of an outcast because of my magic and my obsession with it. I was forbidden to even try it when I was younger. My father would never touch me physically but he yelled and made me feel like dirt most of my life. I'm shorter than a lot of people and some even mistake me for a kid! But mostly bullies liked to pick on me. That's when I truly gave in to magic. I was tired of being beat up. Sometimes like when we met, I don't always get the chance. I always look for another solution. Especially since I couldn't practice it in the open or at home, I wasn't very good and I always feared I'd end up hurting someone severely with it. I decided a long time ago, that someday I'd be a practicing healer of magic."

"I'm sure you'll get that chance someday. I believe in ya."

"That days sooner than you think." A voice said from the door.

Joey turned around and was surprised to see, Dr. Solomon.

"What do you mean doctor?" Yugi asked.

"I mean on a case by case basis and the patient and/or their family agree to allow it, you may officially begin treating patients with magic."

"You hear that Yugi, now your dreams going to come true!" Joey said.

"Yeah, I can't believe it. Then I know you'll make it also Joey! Someday you will be a knight that Serenity will be proud of."

"Gee, thanks a lot Yugi. You're support means a lot to me."

"No, problem I'm so happy."

"Well I'll leave you boy's to talk among yourselves." Dr. Solomon said.

"You know what Joey, when the time comes, then I'll be there with Serenity when knight tryouts come around."

"But Yugi it's scheduled for next week. I'm not sure I'm ready yet. Plus with all the rumors flying around the castle saying the kings relinquishing the throne, cause Master Yami is the rightful king. Who knows if it'll even happen, then or anytime in the near future!"

"Why would the king give the throne to Master Yami?"

"Well rumor has it that he and Mokuba both can hold the millennium rod."

"Really then their really…"

"Related to the king, yeah freaked me out a little too."
