Chapter 2: Morning Wake-Ups, and Stories

Jou woke up to muffled coos and laughs,

"Shut up!" Jou said from Seto's chest, he lifted his head and glared at the six people standing around the couch,

"OK, enough. He's awake, let's not wake up Seto. Let's go get breakfast." Yami said after he laughed one last time,

"Fine," Jou said he snapped his fingers silently and said, "Flick." he disappeared from underneath Seto's arm and reappeared next to Yuugi.

"Ya know what Yuugi?" Jou said to Yuugi as he flipped the pancake into the air watching it fall back into the pan with a splat,

"What?" Yuugi asked from where he was making fresh Orange Juice,

"If this, slaying vampires, ever fell out, I know I could at least fall back on being a cook for a living." Jou replied with a goofy grin,

"What if you had an extremely rich, boyfriend or girlfriend?" Yuugi asked raising an eyebrow,

"I'd still cook!" Jou said finishing the last of the pancakes, they took all of the food and took it out into the dining room,

"WAHOO! Jou you cooked! We love your cooking!" Yami, Marik, and Bakura all cheered as Jou came out with the plates of food,

"Glad to see you all still drool over my cooking." Jou said wiping some drool off of Marik's chin,

"Hey who wouldn't? You're the best cook ever." Ryou, Yuugi, and Malik chipped in,

"Yea but still…" Jou whined.

After everyone finished eating Jou went out for a walk to the lake thinking over what Yuugi said.

Flashback-

"Glad to see you all still drool over my cooking." Jou said wiping some drool off of Marik's chin,

"Well someone drools over you so why shouldn't everyone drool over your cooking?" Yuugi leaned over to Jou's ear and whispered,

"Wha?" Jou whispered back dumbfounded.

End Flashback-

Jou lay in the shoulder high grass, it was lean forward creating a roof protecting him from the sun's harsh rays, he sighed chewing the piece of long grass looking around at the light rays that flickered through the holes in the grassy cover, just then he heard rustling and he sat up looking around, seeing no one he lay back down again.

"Hi Jou!" Just then Marik and Bakura pounced from the grass and landed on his stomach and legs,

"Ha we got you! Now you gotta tell us all a story!" Marik said gleefully, Jou looked around and saw Seto, Yuugi, Ryou, Malik, and Yami all crouching in his little fort,

"Fine." Jou heaved a great sigh and said, "How about one from our Ancient Egyptian past?" Marik and Bakura nodded getting of Jou so he could sit up,

"Ok. How about the first time I became a palace priest?" Jou asked

"Yea! I like that one 'cause we're in it!" Marik and Bakura cheered again,

"OK! Shut up, and I'll tell you about a priest whose village was destroyed and his only place to turn was the palace of his friend, Pharaoh Yami…"

Flashback-

(Seth- Seto Kaisuya- Jou)

"Hello Kaisuya. What brings you here?" Pharaoh Yami asked the blond haired man standing before him,

"Yami… The red eyes black dragon, it attacked my village! Myself and two others were the only ones to survive!" Kaisuya said in a desperate voice,

"I thought your other priests had control over the dark dragon!" Yami said aghast,

"So did I dear friend, so did I." Kaisuya said with a face full of emotion,

"Well how about you stay here and become one of my High Priests?" Yami asked quirking a slender eyebrow as Kaisuya thought over the offer,

"I graciously accept your offer my pharaoh." Kaisuya said bowing, his left foot before his right, showing his loyalty,

"Kaisuya, please. You are my friend not someone under my control. You are like a brother to me; you have no need to bow before me." Yami said placing his slender hand on Kaisuya's bony shoulder,

"Thank you my pharaoh, my friend, my brother, Yami." Kaisuya said in a mock dramatic voice, Yami started to burst with laughter,

"I have to keep you around for laughs anyways Kaisuya!" Yami said clutching his sides still laughing,

"I shall send for a priest of mine to give you a tour of the palace and teach you the rules before you retire to your special sleeping quarters." Yami said after he composed himself.

End Flashback-

"What happened next?" Yuugi asked smiling sweetly at the thought of stony-faced Yami laughing,

"Well I should leave that until after we get back and have had supper now shouldn't I?" Jou replied sweetly standing up and stretching, the other seven following his example. They talked amenably about Jou's story, even Marik, Bakura, Yami, and Seto talked about it even they knew what happened. Once the had reached the mansion and had a supper consisting of rice, chicken, corn, and rolls they were all settled in the living room looking expectantly at Jou,

"Well I guess I should start again shouldn't I?" Jou asked and received a chorus of eager nods and shouts of approval,

"Ok then, what happened next was…"
