Souls and Hearts

Chap 2- Game Shop Blues

Seto Kaiba was out early for a Saturday morning, well a nonworking Saturday morning. Yugi had called him up saying that they found the card he was looking for and to come and pick it up when he could. A slightly uncommon trap card that most duelists normally neglect, but if used correctly it could put a nasty dent in their life points, and pride.

"Luck must be in my favor today." Seto grinned to himself as the limo stopped in front of the brightly colored game shop entrance. During the early hours Jou decided that he would take shift. Figuring he could work and get the pay and then be able to sleep for the rest of the day. Though with the time slowly going on and exhaustion building up he was seriously thinking of taking Yugi's offer of switching. The thought quickly left as the front door bell rang. Jou was about to snap into perky game shop work mode until; the scent of expensive, though good smelling, cologne attacked his senses.

"Go away Kaiba. I'm not in the mood." Jou mumbled into the counter not caring that he was chasing away potential business.

"Seems the dog can use his sense of smell." Seto sneered walking up to the attempting to sleep blond.

"Better a dog then a seahorse." Jou shot back.

"How is that better?"

"At least a male dog isn't the one that gets knocked up." Jou lifted his head giving an evil, mocking, winning smirk, normally a smirk that Seto would be giving him at that moment if Jou retaliated with his normal comments. Flustered at such a perverse comment Seto coughed and looked the other way, hiding the faint evidence of embarrassment.

"Kaiba you came over earlier then expected." Yugi chirped bounding in.

"You invited him over!" Jou sighed rolling his eyes playfully.

"Do you have the card?" Seto asked ignoring Jou.

"Right here." Yugi reached under the counter pulling out a small cardboard box. Seto handed over the money and took the receipt.

"I must be going." Seto gave a polite bow before attempting to leave.

"Seth get back here. We need to talk." Yami commanded from the doorway leading into the house. Seto or now Seth turned around skin slightly tanner, eyes a shade bluer and hair with a bit more red to it.

"What do you want Yami? Seto is not thrilled right now." Seth announced, voice deeper more emotional.

"It may be a long discussion…about Jou."

"What's wrong with him? Some one better not of hurt him. Where is he?" Seth stared demanding arms flailing wildly.

"Nothings wrong with him physically. And he is over there." Yami pointed to where the now deep asleep Jou was.

"I'm going back into our room. You want me to do something about Jou?"

"He's fine where he is. Jou's in to deep a sleep to hear us." Yami gave his light a reassuring kiss before sending him on his way.

"Our room? Seems you picked up right where you started." Seth teased with a jealous undertone.

"Yes now back to the subject. Do you remember the Memipo legend? The version where the shadow realm chose an Egyptian Child to carry the summoning power until it was needed again?" Yami asked taking a seat at one of the stools.

"Yes very clearly. Didn't the previous senen necklace carrier predict that, that would happen? The legend would gain logic and become reality." Seth wandered over to where Jou was sleeping, absently running his fingers through the locks. What did the legend have to do with Jou?

"As you are not aware of Jou's been having dreams lately, ones that seem to play events from a different place and time then where he is. So I decided to check on his ESP level. Seth his power was nowhere on the chats. Almost endless." Yami said with all seriousness.

"So do you think my Jou is the child referred to in the legend?"

"He isn't your Jou anymore Seth. But yes I have a strong suspicion that he is. The power has no end and cannot be tapped into. It would also explain why we never found the person that we where looking for. We checked everyone born in Egypt and if I am correct Jou was a foreign slave that you bought. The whole reason he caught your eye."

"The legend must have referred to anyone in Egypt during the time. Seems that I pick my lovers well." Seth started to lean down giving a kiss to Jou.

"Seth." Yami hissed stopping the action mid way.

"Then I shall leave. Seto is becoming impatient." Seth slightly drew away sorrow drowning his normally amused eyes.

"Mm Seth." Jou mumbled closing the final space between them, finished the act Seth could not. Seth gave a shrug of ignorance before enjoying the long awaited kiss.

"Only until the memory is finished. Then you give Kaiba control of his body and you respect his wishes." Yami sighed walking up to see his own lover. He had to feel sorry for the young priest. To be locked away for so long and to then meet your lover that doesn't remember you at all. Though Yami had to smile at the memory of when Seth first came out of the rod and took over Seto's body. The first thing he did was kiss Jou. That shocked everyone but himself and Bakura, what shocked the two spirits was Jou's submissiveness to the act. Back down in the front of the shop Seth was the one to break the kiss and cuddle the blond to him.

"If you really are the one to possess the power then I may be talking to you a bit more." Seth whispered kissing his temple. During the time Yami and Seth were having their conversation about Jou, Jou was having a flashback of his past life.

"Seth came out…wonder what for?" Jou mentally questioned as he watched the memory progress. It was a little embarrassing to watch the intimate moments his other life shared with Seth, but Jou had no choice in what memory he wished to gain. So instead of trying to forget and fight it, he found it less stressing if he accepted it and to enjoy the ride. There really wasn't much difference between him and his past life. The only thing that probably made Seth buy him, besides the good looks, was his quarterstaff skill. Surprisingly his other life started out in Japan. Though he was brought over when a bunch of slave traders came over and thought him an escaped slave from Egypt. He looked nothing like a Japanese person back then. The golden hair and eyes put him out like a soar thumb. For living in Egypt so long he gained no color pigment in his skin, he was actually paler then he was now.

"How was the meeting with the fortune teller?" His past self, Jouno, asked.

"She isn't a fortune teller for the last time. She is the holder of the senen necklace. That has the seer abilities." Seth sighed shaking his head.

"So how did it go?" Jouno presses not caring about the correction.       

"There's been a little issue that has arisen." Seth muttered kissing his lovers cheek. Uh oh the muttering approach, something bad was going to be happening.

"Can you tell me?"

"Actually I can. Do you remember the Memipo legend that I told you?"

"Which version?" Jouno teased.

"Where the shadow realm would choose an Egyptian child to carry the summoning power until it was needed again."

"That's me favorite version." Jouno whispered nuzzling into Seth's neck.

"The senen necklace keeper said the legend was going to come true in a few years."

"Sounds dangerous. Do you know who the person is, did she tell you and why can you tell me?"

"It is a dangerous and serious matter. The keeper said that she could not tell for it would ruin the balance the necklace held with the shadow realm. Why I can tell you? It's slightly mean to say but it is because you where no born under our sun god. You are a foreigner, not one born to Egypt."

"It's not mean to say. I was born under a different sun god, it is the truth." Jouno smiled giving Seth's neck a kiss.

"For a while please do not go sneaking out of the palace and if you have a dire need to go out bring a guard with you incognito. I know you have skills in defending yourself but the pharaoh fears others may know this information already and it is easier for them to kidnap one person then it is two." Seth pleaded hugging Jouno closer.

"Saw how well that went. Got murdered in the palace gardens. Though Seth found me and was able to cast a reincarnation spell in time before I died." Jou thought with a smile. The past life Seto was so different from the current day one. Seth was emotional, cared for others and still had a sense of authority. And was only hostile if it was needed. Seto teased, mocked and was hostile to everyone that was not his brother. Jou closed his eyes, letting out a soft sigh before opening them again. Seth's gold ornamented room was not the sight to greet him, yet a fairly dusty, smelly and all to familiar warehouse room was, complete with the little girl looking at him.

"Please take them and leave! Those men will be back any minute." Ankari whispered shoving two cards into his hands.

"Slow down a little. What are you talked about, why do I need to run and who are these men?" Jou asked not all the shock settling in.

"Just run and get out of here!" Ankari started to shove him towards the door.
"Why won't you come with me?" Jou looked at her questioningly. Before she could yell at him to run again two men came through the door.

"Willing to talk yet Ankari?" One sneered advancing on her. Ankari rapidly shook her head no raven hair whipping the sides of her face.

"Are we going to have to beat it out of you." The other man sneered thrusting his fist into his other palm. She turned around and ran behind a few boxes. Jou looked back at her seeing that she was motioning for him to run away.

"I'm going to get you out of here." Jou whispered. Her eyes widened and hand motions became frantic.

"Come on." Jou started to move forwards but just as he was reaching her his world became black.

"Seth I told you once the memory was done to give Kaiba back his body." Yami sighed finding Seth in another lip lock with the still sleeping Jou.

"It's not done yet." Seth mumbled through the kiss.

"You're not prolonging it are you?" Yami asked tapping his foot. Seth slightly shook his head no moaning into the kiss. Just as Yami was about to break it off Seth pulled back in fright.

"He's been pulled into the shadow realm." Seth whispered tapping into his powers in hopes of bringing his love out.

"How?" Yami ran over placing a hand on Jou's head also tapping into his power, but trying to pin point who sent him in there.

"As you could see he was having a very nice romantic memory. Then I felt the shadow realm take over his mind."

"Dammit! I can't find who pulled him in." Yami tapped into the power again helping Seth try to pull him out. Jou beat both of them to it as his eyes crept open and started coughing.

"Jou you ok? Who pulled you into the shadow realm?" Yami asked pulling his hand away.

"Nothing happened to you right Jou?" Seth asked hugging Jou closer.

"Seth? Jou looked and smiled. He felt so at home within Seth's embrace. That lasted only for moments as he went into a more violent coughing fit. Yami looked at the couple in concern taking a step back, if anyone could get information out of Jou it was Seth. Seth brought his hand up to Jou's, the one covering his mouth, in hopes to brace him. His hand met something unexpected. What it met was wet, thick, warm and had a distinct odor to it. When he pulled back his hand and Jou's hand were covered in blood.

"Yami get a towel." Seth commanded showing his hand. Yami quickly nodded and ran upstairs calling Yugi. Jou continued to cough up blood clutching two cards in his other hand.
