Blood Legacy:
Stand Tall, Fly Straight, Look Out For Low Lying Pipes

May 2, 1997

Mokuba rushed to Seto's side as the platform lowered, "Seto?" Seto couldn't answer him, Mokuba started to fear the worst as he heard his brother's gasps for air. "Mokie..." Mokuba rested Seto on his chest as he sat on the floor with him. Mokuba started to feel the tears swell in his eyes as Seto started shivering as the sweat rolled down his face. "Seto... don't leave me." Grabbing the phone from Seto's pocket, he called the emergency dispatch, hanging up before someone answered realizing they weren't going to be any help. They would need blood tests and he barely had a pulse when he was normal. There was no way a mortal doctor could help. Scrolling down the phone list he saw something that might help. Pegasus.

May 6, 1997

Ryou stopped at the Kaiba estate before school started to check on them, particularly Mokuba. It was bad enough Domino no longer had a Prince in power, but Mokuba thought that no one should no trying to keep things running himself the way Seto would. Ryou sighed and entered through the front door, and was escorted to the master bedroom. Ryou walked in, nodded to the servant, as he door shut behind him.

Mokuba sat next to his brother on the bed as he laid there lifeless. "Seto, what did he do?" Ryou stood at the side of the bed, "Mokuba?" Mokuba looked away, which made it harder for Ryou to continue. "I know the spell Yami used on him-" Mokuba looked at him with bright, violet eyes full of hope. "Can you reverse it?" Ryou sighed and looked at Seto. "I can't, he's the only one that can." Mokuba started to sob again. "What's happening?" Ryou walked over and hugged the boy, "He's going through a transformation sort to speak... hopefully not as long." Mokuba dug his head in to Ryou's shirt. "How long?""I don't know, I've never had it done to me, so I can't say exactly, but what I do know is, Yami won't kill anyone. Ra knows he's had the chances with Bakura.""I just don't know what to do."
Ryou rested his chin on Mokuba's head. "Be a kid again. Go watch cartoons, play outside. Anything to keep you from stressing yourself out. Your brother will be fine, you did get the best doctors."
Mokuba looked at him, "Be a kid again, kinda strange coming from you since I'm the oldest in the room..." Mokuba shook his head, "I can't the city-"
"Pegasus has a temporary hold on everything. Don't worry, Seto's place is secure as long a Toreador has control. Once your brother heals, I promise things will go back to normal." Mokuba nodded, "ok."
"Sorry Mokuba, but I have to go, I'll see you later ok?"
"Alright." Ryou left and Mokuba stayed with Seto a little longer before taking Ryou's advise.

Pegasus walked in to the conference room with a brief case in hand wearing a black suite, with a red, silk shirt underneath. The five board members looked at him then at each other as Pegasus sat down in Seto's chair. "You five are probably wondering why I'm in Kaiba-boy's chair instead of him. Easy, he's having a little, big case of the flu... he's going to out for a while. So, here I am."

Yugi sat in his desk chair looking at the empty seat where Seto usually is. "He's been out all week, I hope he's alright." Jonouchi flung a paper ball at the back of Tristan's head. "I'm sure he's alright. He is Kaiba after all. He just probably has some hot shot conference going on." Ryou looked at them, "you know I just happened to think about something. Seto's in high school, as a CEO." Tristan punched Jonouchi in the arm. "Yeah so?" Ryou continued, "How would feel if you worked for a company to find out your company boss is in high school with no college degree yet?" Téa looked at him. "Thank you for having the most interesting topic of the day Ryou, to bad its way to early for that kind of logic." Yugi looked up while he spoke. "I wanna know how he does it... he's gotta be taking drugs or something to keep the schedule he has up." Téa looked at him, "don't ask him that when he gets back."Tristan started laughing. "To Seto, my new found drug lord." Jonouchi started laughing with him. "That's probably how he made his first million." Téa rolled her eyes at them. "Are you guys over it?" Tristan and Jonouchi looked at each other then back at Téa. "No..."

"Mr. Pegasus, we are very well aware of the fact that Mr. Kaiba was beaten by a kid, in his own game. This we fear looks bad for us." Pegasus blinked at the forth member. "Why tell me? It's my first day."

Mokuba went back to his room and turned on the tv, finding a new series of FullMetal Alchemist. He watched the episode then shut it off. Looking down the hallway to make sure no one was coming, quickly shutting his door. "Equivalent exchange huh? How hard could it be?" Grabbing a sheet of paper he drew a two circles, one inside the other, then a triangle to link them. "Here it goes." Clapping his hands together he placed them on the sheet of paper. A bright flash escaped him revealing a paper shaped rose when it was done. Smiling at the handy work, "sweet."
Grabbing the paper flower off the floor and carried it to Seto's room, setting it on his nightstand next to him. "I bet I could do better, really make you happy." Rushing out of the room and headed towards Seto's office. Grabbing a thick stack of computer paper, he set down on the floor. Concentrating as hard as he could he clapped his hands and touched the paper, forming a blue eyes white dragon, balancing on one foot. "That is so cool." Carefully he headed back to the master bedroom setting it next to the flower. "Ryou was right, I am kinda starting to feel better."

School let out as the three friends walked back to the game shop with Yugi. Opening the door they walked in to find his grandpa on a step ladder putting things away. "Grandpa you're not supposed to be working, you're supposed to be resting." Sugoroku sighed and stepped down at his grandson's protectiveness. "I know, but if I don't work, we don't eat." Yugi, looked away, "I could stay home for a few day till you get better." Sugoroku laughed, "No, because then you'll be skipping on your studies. Jonouchi can you flip over the sign behind you?" Yugi turned back to see Jonouchi turning the open sign around to closed. "You're closing early?"
"Yes, I want to get Jonouchi's training before the tournament tonight."

Mokuba left the room to wonder the halls, when Ryou came to check up on him. "Hey Ryou! I'm an Alchemist!" Ryou started laughing, "what?" Mokuba slid down the staircase railing to get there faster. "I'm an alchemist, I've been practicing since you left this morning." Ryou sighed in relief, "So you took my advise then?" Mokuba smiled at him, "Yep." Ryou smiled, thinking to himself, "great he remembered he's a child illusionist."

Jonouchi fell over on the carpet. "Wake up slacker!" Sugoroku yelled and whapped Jonouchi upside the head with a pillow. "Gramps leave me alone, we've been going at this for hours!" Yugi, looked down at Jonouchi, "it was a half hour, besides the tournament's starting." Jonouchi popped up, "really?" Sugoroku looked at him, "you got lucky this time."
Yami started to watch him as Sugoroku went inside the kitchen. Sliding off the back of the couch he went in there with him. "Is it just me or has your training methods changed with him?" Sugoroku smiled, "He turned in to a major slacker since you've been gone, he had no one to challenge him." Yami looked back to the direction of the other room. "Yeah, but at least he did what I told him to."
"For a gangrel he still remains loyal to you. You don't have many of those left."Yami nodded, "What about Mai?" Sugoroku looked away, "Mai, Mai... haven't seen her for seven years, she disappeared after left." Yami looked confused for a moment, "odd, she was the clan leader..."
"The city went to hell during the transition. Gangrels aren't listening to anyone, brujahs are running a muck, they started wars within the gangrel clan, those who were still loyal, those that weren't. It's a good thing Jonouchi was gone during that time. In fact that's when Mai left." Yami looked at him, "what else have I missed?" Sugoroku looked at the clock, "enough that I can't explain in three minutes."
Yugi sat on the floor next to Jonouchi, "I hate this, there has to be over a hundred duels and they only want to show five complete ones and highlights of ten others." Téa sat on the couch holding a bowl of popcorn, "that's time limits for you..."Jonouchi started eating popcorn from the small bowl between him and Yugi. "Hmm... bug-boy versus dino breath." Yugi started in, "yeah its a good match up." Téa smiled, "so which do think will win Yugi?" Yugi thought about it, "Not sure its a great match-up, Rex has the strength, but Weevil I think is the better strategist." Yami stood in the back doorway listening to them. "He's getting trained and not knowing." Yami smirked at the comment from the older tremere. "That's good, I think I'd like to keep it that way..." Sugoroku looked at him. "He's half, he should know." Yami sighed, "I know...I plan on telling him when he's a full tremere."Sugoroku looked confused as he heard the doorbell ring. "Why do I not like the sound of that?" Yami shrugged and waited there for the older man to return. Yami turned around to the doorway as he heard the jeers and cheers from everyone, by the upset of the championship match.

"Ladies and gentlemen this year's regional tournament winner, Weevil Underwood!" Yami watched as the announcer congratulated Weevil on his match. "And now a special treat for these two competitors, the owner and creator of the game Mr. Pegasus Crawford." Yami shook his head. "Loser, he didn't create it." Sugoroku laughed holding a large box. "Well, he created this version anyway."

The messenger walked back in to the car, shutting the door, getting on his cell phone as he started to drive away from the game shop. "Yes Mr. Pegasus, the package was delivered just as you wished."

Yugi shut off the tv, "That was a great match." Sugoroku walked in to the living room, "Yugi, this just arrived for you." Téa looked baffled, "isn't it a little late to get a package delivered?" Yugi ignored it and grabbed the box, setting it on the floor. "Wow, it's from Industrial Illusions, I wonder what they want?" Yugi opened the box as it revealed a glove, two cards, two star chips, and a blank video tape. "That's an odd care package." They looked at Jonouchi puzzled and Tristan spoke up. "Maybe it gets explained on the tape." He picked it up and examined it. "Didn't I see this on a horror movie once?" Jonouchi snatched it from Tristan. "No markings... yep death by video tape." Yugi took it from them, and turned the tv back on and put the tape in the vcr and pressed play. The screen went fuzzy as Jonouchi and Téa both covered there eyes, "not watching!" Yami narrowed his crimson colored eyes as the Toreador Prince from America came on the screen. "Is this thing on? Oh Yugi-boy, I heard about your recent victory over Kaiba-boy, I wanted to congratulate you. Sorry I couldn't be there in person. By watching this, this means you've seen the other contents in the box, you will need these in my tournament to Duelist Kingdom. However, I do want test your skills."

Téa was confused, "he wants you duel the tv? How does that work?" Yami, sat behind Yugi, Yugi heard the deeper voice in his head. "Let me face him." Yugi tilted his head back closing his eyes. Opening them eyes were crimson, Yami looked to . "Deck." nodded and handed him the cards from the table next to him. "Ok, Yugi-boy lets start this, same rules apply as normal." the clock on the vcr set itself for two minutes. "You beat me before the time runs out, I'll retire from the gaming industry, but if I win, someone goes to the shadows."

Yami wasn't sure how Pegasus was doing this, but either way he couldn't lose. Honda laughed, "Yami, what would happen if you just shut it off?" Pegasus looked at him. "Think about turning it off and I'll send you to the shadows for disqualifying yourself." Honda sat back in the chair, "Ok, never mind."
Yami placed down cards left and right, and was losing big time. Yami, thought he saw something flash on the screen. "Anzu, name a card, first card that comes to mind." Anzu, thought about it, "A skull of some kind." Yami, looked at his hand, seeing the skull servant in his hand. "That's how he's doing it, placing another card in attack mode, Pegasus laid out a trap card for the skull servant that didn't apply to him. "Not this time, Curse of Dragon, attack!" The timer ran out of time unable to finish the attack. "To bad Yugi-boy, you would have won if it wasn't for the timer, but oh well you still lost sorry."
Yami looked around, "everyone alright?" The friends sounded off one at a time. Yugi took control again. "Grandpa!" Yugi broke down at the sight of his grandfather's soul trapped on the screen. "I swear, I'll find a way to bring you back."

Pegasus sat in front of the plasma tv, built in to the wall. "Close one Yami, but alas, you won't beat me in the next round either." Bakura sat in the chair next to him. "Well, that's one, how are the other two projects working out?" Pegasus took a drink of his spritzer, "They're in the process."

Jonouchi reached the door to his apartment, seeing a small cardboard box next to the door. Jonouchi picked it up and carried it in his house. Setting it down at the end of his bed, examining the small box. "Trust it or no?" Closing his eyes he trusted his heart and opened the box using his claw. "Another tape?" Jonouchi sighed, looking away he slide the tape in to the vcr with his deck close at hand.
"Hello big brother..." Jonouchi looked at screen unbelieving his eyes. "Serenity?"The girl smiled on the screen her bright blue eyes shinning brightly. "If you're watching this, this will probably be the last time I'll be able to see you, I'm picturing you in my mind now, I wish it could be more than that. Good bye big brother. I love you." Jonouchi shut the tv off and sat on the floor for while, gathering everything that was said to him.

July 13, 1997

Ryou sat on the edge of Yugi's desk as looked over the three cards in front of him. One was the directions to get there to the dock, one had a treasure chest on it, and the other blank. "So you're really going?" Ryou was still looking down on him. Yugi looked at him, "I have to..." Ryou thought about it, "well, he did put it over the next break, that was nice of him. So when are you leaving?" Yugi looked at the card. "Friday at seven o'clock."

Seto fluttered his eyes open, awakening to a dark room. Looking at the clock as it read, 9:31 am Wed. July 13. Seto looked at the date harder... "What? My duel with Yugi was yesterday..." Mokuba walked in to the room holding a bigger creation made out wood. Dropping it to the floor as he ran a crossed the room and jumped on the bed to hug his brother. "Seto!" Seto was baffled by his brother's tightening hug. "Mokuba what's wrong?" Mokuba dug his head in to Seto's shoulder deeper keeping him from seeing his tears. "Nothing... its all better now." Seto was even more confused than before. "What do you mean now? What happened?" Mokuba loosened his death grip on Seto. "Yami, he did something to you... you've been out cold for three months." Seto reality came in to focus. "Mokuba tell me everything that's happened." Mokie smiled, "I'll tell you after you eat something." Mokie sent down a servant to the kitchen and requested a special bottle of wine and several fruits be brought up to Kaiba's room in a hurry. Mokuba snuggled his way next to his brother in the bed as the servant brought in their tray of delights. Carrying a bottle wine in his arms uncorking it in front of them pouring a single glass. "Thanks guys that should for a while." The servant bowed and exited the room closing the door behind him.
Seto, took a drink from the glass and closed his eyes at the delectable, taste of the thick liquid. Mokuba watched him as he downed the first glass. "Maybe I should have requested two bottles..." Mokuba started in on his fruits. The sweet smells got to Seto as he stole one off his plate. Mokuba looked at him as he raised his brows at him and continued to munch away. "What happened while I was out?" Mokuba relaxed back on the giant pillows. "Lets see... everything you won't like." Seto glared at him. "Like what sort of everything?" Mokuba swallowed hard. "Well, when you were passed out, I didn't know what to do, so I found someone that I thought could help." Seto, looked at him. "Who?" Mokuba inched away slightly. "Pegasus..." Seto, closed his eyes trying to calm down. "Alright... I can see why you did that. What about the company and the city?" Mokuba inched more, "Pegasus on both..." Seto reached over as Mokuba disappeared off the side of the side. "Oof." Seto leaned back, "that worked to."

July 14, 1997

Seto finished up his breakfast and got dressed. Normal tight, black shirt with a high collar, with a pair of black dress slacks under his white tench coat. Mokuba trailed behind him. "Where are you off to?" Seto grabbed the brief case off the chair. "To reclaim what's mine." Mokuba walked around him, "Seto you're not recovered yet!" Seto sighed and handed him his card deck. "Take these, there yours now." Mokuba looked at the Blue Eyes White Dragon staring at him. "Seto I can't what about the tournament!" Seto shook his head, "I don't need them I'm retired."
Both entered the Kaiba Corp building. The receptionist just about dropped the phone when she saw him. "Good morning Mr. Kaiba." Seto, nodded to her acknowledgment and continued on. Stepping in to the elevator Mokuba looked out the glass walls. "I never get tired of this view." Seto looked at him. "I know, that's why made it glass." The bell dinged and the doors opened letting both out on to his floor. Seto, opened the door to his office. Looking around he walked in. "Seto what's wrong?"
"Are you sure I've been out for three months?" Mokuba nodded, "yeah, why?" Seto put his briefcase next to his desk. "Nothings changed..." Mokuba smiled, "that's because I told him if he did do anything. I was going to use my connections on him." Seto smirked. "Playing the malkavian card, I've taught you well."

Mokuba walked out of the office letting his brother work and figure what what had happened. Walking down a hallway, he looked around never believing he had been in that hallway before. Listening to voices rise as he walked closer. Stopping he realized Pegasus was still in the room. "Let me get this straight... you want me to knock dear Kaiba-boy out of the picture so I gain control of the company." Pegasus questioned the board members. "That is correct, but by the active living document, we must have one living brother of the Kaiba brother's still alive to complete the take over. You are the only undefeated duelist at this time." Pegasus thought for a moment and corrected him. "There's one more. Tell you what, I'm starting my tournament in a couple days, I'll just incorporate it, it will be more fun that way." Mokuba swallowed and turned to run back down the hall. A hand reached out and grabbed him. "Perhaps a little easier than what we thought. These guys will just come straight to you." Mokuba struggled against the massive bodyguard. "Put me down!" Pegasus stood up and cupped his hand under the Mokuba's chin. "And let you tell your brother?" Mokuba pulled away from him. "How do you plan on getting me out of here without him knowing?" Pegasus smiled. "Funny you should ask that..." Mokuba saw an empty luggage bag. "You wouldn't!" The guard pinched the nerve of his neck causing him to fall limp in his arms. Pegasus looked at him as he put Mokuba comfortably and easily in the bag.

July 15, 1997

Seto worked from home that day finishing up the final preparations of his secret project. Seto looked at his laptop seeing security cameras flicker off one by one. His door busted wide open with two men walking in each pointing a gun at him. Seto was on the verge of laughing when he saw them. "Mr. Kaiba, Pegasus would like to have a word with ya." Seto stood up. "I bet he would, but not today." Seto closed the briefcase, using the metal briefcase as a shield as they opened fire on him, jumping out the window. Coming to the metal fence, he jumped the nine foot clearance with ease. The two guys standing in the room watched him. "So do we say how he got away?" The higher ranked guard looked out the window, three stories up then looked at the fence. "I'm going to say he wasn't here..."

Yugi yawned and stretched over the top of his desk. "Yugi you look terrible." Yugi looked at Téa, "I didn't sleep last night..." Téa looked him over thinking Yami was probably the reason why he didn't sleep. "Rough night pal?" Yugi shook his head at Jonouchi. "Nope." Jonouchi shook his head. "right... you still have that tape?" Téa chimed in happily. "What tape?" Yugi blushed putting a tomato to shame. The bell rang to end the break. "Bell rang!" Yugi looked at Jonouchi irritated and still red yelling at him while muttering. "I hate you." Jonouchi couldn't stand it anymore as he busted up laughing.

The guards stood outside the dock waiting the plank to be lowered for them. Mokuba started to regain conscious, running his hands along the walls he felt the tight, woven fabric. Listening to the guards he knew he wasn't on board yet, but knew he was outnumbered. Taking a claw he scratched at the thin fabric pealing it away slightly to peer out. Three guards stood before him looking the other way, two more were behind him. Taking a deep breath he shredded the bag and rolled on to the dock. One of the guards opened fire without thinking about it. Only his gun went flying out of his hand. They looked around seeing a dark figure perched on top of the lamp post, with his gun still smoking. Mokuba swung his around as another grabbed him. "Ryou!" Ryou jumped down, driving his heel in to the jaw of the one holding Mokuba. Two more jumped Ryou, as the third went for Mokuba. Mokuba fell backwards next to a crate. His eyes widened as he stepped closer, clapping his hands he put his hands to the ground, concealing himself one in of many he had created. Ryou, swung his body weight violently swinging the guards in to each other. Looking at the boxes he smiled slightly looking back as he heard the voices of the other duelist beginning to show up. Running up the stairway he found himself a shaded spot, silently waiting.

The lead guard shook his head and got on the communicator with Pegasus. "Sir, we have a problem." The guard looked confused through his sunglasses as Pegasus told him to load all the boxes on to the ship without him even telling him what had happened. "Yes, sir..." The guard cut off the communication link and requested a loading crane be brought in.

Yugi looked at his watch as he ran out of house house carrying his backpack around his shoulder. He had forty five minutes to get to the docks, from where he was normally took thirty driving. Sprinting through yards and alleyways, Yugi ran himself like never before.

Jonouchi walked out of his apartment seeing a blur of a kid pass him. Doing a double take Jonouchi called after him, but after seeing him not slow down he chased after him. Jonouchi was smiling as he realized Yugi started to tap in to his powers. Yugi skidded on the dock trying to stop and fell over from the sudden loss of balance. Jonouchi was laughing as he caught up with him. "That looked painful..." Yugi shook his head. "Not really..." He took Jonouchi's hand and got up, dusting himself off. Jonouchi looked around, thinking to himself. "Mortals... fun... maybe they won't notice..."

Anzu and Honda where hiding between the crates. Anzu sighed as she finally saw Yugi and Jonouchi standing in line. "Good they're here..." Anzu sighed. "So why are we here again?" Anzu looked at him. "You're kidding right? We aren't duelist, and I'm not bound to let Yami kill Yugi trying to beat Pegasus." Honda smiled. "Oh, so you're evening the score for him saving you." Anzu sighed and looked at Yugi, "That was a fluke, nothing more..." Honda whispered something in her ear, Anzu's eyes shot open and punched him in the face tossing him backwards through the crate. "That was convenient..." She walked on him driving her high heel in to him as she climbed in the box. Dragging Tristan in after her.

Yugi looked at the crate being elevated on to the ship. "What do you think the boxes are for?" Jonouchi shrugged as they let Yugi pass. "Hold it punk duelists only!" Jonouchi flipped his wrist free. "I am a duelist!" The guard continued his rant. "All duelist received a glove and two stars you have nothing."
"He is a duelist." The guard and Jonouchi looked at him. "I am?"
"He is?"
Yugi nodded. "Yep, all you need is a star right?" The man nodded unsure of himself being questioned like that by a kid. "Yeah..." Yugi smiled. "Good." Hands one to Jonouchi, "now he is."Jonouchi blinked at him and grinned. "That's right I am now. Ha!" The man readjusted his glasses. "Mr. Pegasus... Alright..." The man cut off the link and waved them on.

Pegasus sat in the dinning room still swishing his spritzer around the glass. "I swear I have biggest bunch of idiots possible working for me... who hired these guys?" Bakura smiled and pointed to his finger. "Your finger hired this crew?" Bakura smirked, "no that's silly, its the man who lives in my finger that hired the crew..." Pegasus whapped him with the book, knocking him off the table. Taking a drink of his spritzer as Bakura made the thud as his body hit the floor.

Anzu fell over as the crate started rising. "Take your jacket!" Anzu looked at the whole through the wall. "What?" Anzu gave up and stripped the jacket off him. "I knew you couldn't resist me..." Anzu held the jacket with one hand and pulled a throwing star on him. "I will kill you." Honda backed off, "shutting up." They landed harshly, but stayed quiet until they knew the ghost was clear. "Ok Anzu, we're on board, what now?" Ryou walked out of the doors and walked a crossed the deck. Anzu stepped out of the box and shook head. "Ryou? I hit my head harder than I thought." Honda stumbled out after her, "what?" Anzu shook her head. "I thought I saw Ryou."

Jonouchi and Yugi stood next to the rail on the front of the ship. "You seem calm." Yugi smiled and looked at him. "I hate dueling upset, I'm just clearing my head."
"Sorry Yugi, but you may need at more than that here." Both turned to see a tall, blond, female looking at them with her hand on her hip. Yugi questioned. "How do you know my name?" The girl laughed lightly, "I make it known, especially about the guy that beats that snot nosed Kaiba." Yugi laughed as Jonouchi stepped in, giving her a smirk. "How about the best friend?" She rolled her eyes. "Sorry Joseph..." Jonouchi blinked as she took the opportunity to leave.

Jonouchi caught up with Yugi as they walked inside seeing groups of people trading their cards and talking strategies. "Damn these guys are idiots..." Yugi looked over his shoulder seeing two guys behind him not much older than himself. Jonouchi freaked out. "Wha-! Its bug boy!" Weevil through a small tantrum. "I have a name!" Yugi changed the subject before Weevil regretted saying something to Jonouchi to set him off. "What do you guys mean?"Rex spoke up while Weevil did his little evil annoying laugh. "Look around Yugi, you can't tell me that if you haven't perfected your deck you have any chance of winning. Now take those chances and slice it in half, because your showing your opponents what you have giving your complete strategies." Before Yugi could comment Jonouchi took off trying to trade cards. Yugi closed his eyes, thinking to himself. "There's no way we trained him..." Rex laughed with Weevil as Yugi lost his friend. "Well, I guess he'll be an easy target." Yugi sneered at Rex. Rex looked at Yugi confused trying to see if he knew what he had just thought. "Well, now that the dweebs gone we can finally talk as duelists. Pegasus has added a few things to the tournament that the other players don't know yet." Yugi looked at Weevil. "I don't cheat." Weevil laughed, "I'm not telling you how to cheat, just giving you an edge, these guys will find out soon enough." Yugi turned his back on them to find Jonouchi. "As will I."

Pegasus sat in his study writing a letter to the ventrue prince, in Chicago. Smiling as he signed his name at the bottom he chuckled. "Even if Yami does manage to beat me, there still may be a way I can mess with him after all. If he can't that just means a bigger empire for me."

Mai through the guard in to the wall. "How can you treat a lady of my stature like this, my room doesn't even have a shower! Get that superior of yours on the phone this instant!" Rex saw the blond haired girl in the hallway throwing a fit. "Hey sweets, if you want the best room, it was given to me." Mai blinked and looked surprised. "Really? With a shower?" Rex smiled. "Yep." Mai looked at him smiled, "ok." Rex took her to his room, and opened the door for her. Mai walked in and took a look around. "Not bad." Rex shut the door behind him. Mai looked at him. "Don't get to comfortable just yet. I wanna play a little game first." Rex smiled at the idea. "What would that be?" Mai sat him back on the couch and she sat on the other side opposite of him. "Just a little game for fun... she pulled out her deck and handed it to him. "Shuffle those as good as you can." Rex didn't know what was going on, but her looks made him do what ever she said. "Alright what now?" Mai smiled. "Pick up the first five cards and don't tell me what they are, if I'm right I get the room." Rex laughed. "Are you nuts I'm not doing that." Mai leaned forward, "But if I lose, I'll do whatever you want..." Rex looked at the view of her chest she gave him. Mai just about laughed when she saw the argument in his mind. "Alright." Rex reached for the cards. "Stop right there." Rex stopped as she closed her eyes. "First card... Gyakutenno Megami, Shadow of Eyes, Harpy Lady, Rose Whip, finally Malevolent Nuzzler." Rex picked up the cards, his face drew paler which right card he picked-up. "How did you?" Mai smirked. "I'm psychic get out my room now." Rex stood up, "no you cheated!" Mai looked at him. "Wanna try again double or nothing?" Rex said nothing as Mai named off the next five. Looking and screamed in aggravation. Mai grabbed him by the scuff of the neck and threw him in the hall. He stood up as she threw his bag and cards at him. "Thanks for the room Rex, now shu." Mai shut the door behind her. "I am hungry maybe I should have bit him? Nah, I said I'd give up junk food." The sound of screams shook her from her thoughts. Rushing to the window she opened listening to people yell, "Man over board! Get help!"

Jonouchi came up gasping for air as he swam to the different cards. Yugi jumped in after him, swimming to his side he grabbed Jonouchi. "Joey forget them!" Jonouchi tried swimming on, but Yugi still had a hold of him. "Joey no! They aren't worth killing yourself over!" Jonouchi thought about what he said, "The poor kid doesn't have a clue..." Jonouchi grabbed him as Yugi couldn't tread very long in the high current. Swimming back with Yugi on his back. He looked at a rope next to him with Honda standing on the other side. "Hang on Yugi!" Yugi turned and latched on to him.

Jonouchi tossed Yugi over the railing, Honda helped Jonouchi over. Jonouchi was collapsed on the deck when he had realized a blanket was draped around him. "What are are you doing here?" Anzu wrapped the blanket around Yugi and hugged. "Saving your lives." Yugi leaned in to her. "Thanks." Jonouchi nodded. "Ditto."

The friends made there down through the ship to the room. Tristan opened the door seeing two beds in there with the pipes causing problems for their height. Tristan walked in with Jonouchi wrapped around his arm. "Two beds..." Téa looked at him, "One, I get the other." Tristan looked at her, "three of us are not going to fit!" Jonouchi looked at her. "Rock paper scissors man..." Téa looked at Yugi who held a smile lifted his hand slightly. "I'm in." Téa chanted in her mind for Yugi to win, feeling relieved he did win after five rounds of ties. Yugi sat on the twin sized bed still wrapped in the comfy blanket. Téa glared at him, he smiled lifting his arm for her to join him, while sharing the blanket. "Ahem!" Both of them looked at Tristan and Jonouchi who was looking at them. "What? Sharing warmth, he can't be sick when he faces Pegasus." Jonouchi climbed in his bed, "don't even think about it, invisible line, you cross it I'll kick your ass!"

Yugi and Téa were still snuggled in close but not doing anything. "Yugi what are you doing? They're right there..." Yugi started in, "don't worry about it, Jonouchi sleeps like a rock." Yugi clicked his tongue against his teeth quietly, making sound like he was kissing her. Téa moaned slightly, Yugi turned to bury his face from snickering. Yugi, started in when he could control himself. "Téa..." Jonouchi could hear Yugi's heart beat quicken as his breath deepened. Jonouchi shot up when Tristan turned over crossing his line. As he breathed down th side of his neck wrapping his arm around his chest. Smacking the low lying pipe with his head. "OW! DAMMIT!" Téa and Yugi where caught up between laughing and feeling really bad. Tristan looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Neither of them where going to get back to sleep after that. Getting up they made there way up to the top of the ship before anybody else. Watching the twilight slowly fade as the sunrise barely started to make an appearance. The island came in to focus a little after an hour later. Anzu looked on at it. "There it is guys."

Author's note: Sorry about the long chapter everyone. If it seems odd in places I apologize, I'm starting to move this weekend and I didn't know when the next time I'd have my computer would be, so its a fast job. As for Mokuba being an alchemist... he was transformed as a kid, so he still thinks he is one. He's not an alchemist per say, but he is an illusionist just like Bakura. Well, now that you read, you know the drill please review ... its that little button down below.
