Kadi ran into her grandfather on the way and they both went to sit in the dining room, where they were told the dinner would be served. The only other people in the room were the high priest, Seto, and Joey. They were talking contently with each other. Joey and Seto wee openly a couple, but weren't allowed to show their affection towards each other outside of the palace, because the people would not like it, and it was just a rule that they made together. Shortly after Solomon and Kadi got settled in their seats, Yami and Yugi entered hand in hand, smiling. "I thought you guys weren't a couple." Kadi said shocked and happy for her brother and the king. "We weren't." Yami said. "But we are now." Yugi said happily sitting in between Kadi and Yami, who was sitting at the very top of the table.

"I better go before they arrive." Seto said to Joey as he rose from the table and kissed Joey on the cheeks. "Ok, I'll see you later then." Joey said kissing Seto back on the lips.

No longer than five minutes everyone at the table rose to their feet as the ex-king and ex-queen (1), entered the room with their youngest sons' arms wrapped around his mothers', as they walked over to the table. The former king sat at the other end of the table, with the queen sitting next to him. Ryou sat across from a slightly surprised Kadi.

Yami stood up and said, "Family and guests. Welcome to the monthly family dinner. Let me introduce you to some of the unfamiliar faces." Pointing to his right, he said, "This is Yugi, sitting next to him is his little sister, Kadi, and their Grandfather, Solomon." Looking straight ahead he saw the former king, his father. Titling his head down towards him he said, "Father," then tilting his head towards his mother he said, "Mother." Yami then went to introduce Ryou, "This is Ryou, he's my youngest brother, and Joey, my other little brother, also known as the middle child." Yami finished up, introducing everyone, and with a small grin on his face as he saw a little glare come from Joey. "Oh, and the person that you just saw leave was Seto, my high priest, and good friend." Yami said, just in case they were wondering

(The Queen was sitting across from Solomon, Ryou across from Kadi, Yugi across from Joey, and Yami across from his father . . . just in case that was confusing to anyone . . . back to the story!!!)

"This was your important get together?" Kadi asked. "Yea, sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Ryou said worried if she was angry or not. "No worries, that's awesome. So . . ." Kadi said starting off another conversation, as Yami and Yugi were talking with Joey. The former king, and queen were talking with Solomon happily with each other. After all the little baby talk and getting to know each other, the food came and they started to eat everything that was set out in front of them.

After an hour and a half, they finished eating and departed to their rightful rooms.

While Kadi was settling down in her room, there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Kadi asked not really expecting a visit this late in the night. "It's me." Came Ryou's slightly muffled voice because of the door. "Oh, of course! Come in!" Kadi said forgetting about what Ryou had said earlier that day, heading to the door to open it for him. "Here, come inside." Kadi said moving out of the doorway. "I brought these for you." Ryou said bringing out a bouquet of lilies out from behind his back. "Wow, they're so pretty. I love them, thank you so much!" Kadi said, happily taking the flowers and hugging Ryou. Before she stepped back, she kissed Ryou on the cheek, as another thank you. Then she turned her back to go and get a vase and some water to place the flowers in. "If you don't mind, can I ask you a question?" Kadi asked still smiling, for some reason and walking over to her bed.

Closing the door behind him, blushing because of the kiss, "Sure, what's on your mind?" Ryou asked walking to the bed and sitting down next to Kadi. "Um . . . well, why are you a slave? I mean I could understand about my brother and I because well . . . we're poor. And it just doesn't make sense." Kadi said. "Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really remember, but I know that when we were younger, Yami was to be King. I just wasn't sure what would happen to my other brother, Joey. Slowly, after the years my brothers left me, and I was alone to be a slave. It turns out that Joey was Yami's personal assistant, and I work mainly for Joey and sometimes the kingdom. I mainly do the kingdom, so all the other people don't think that I have it easy. Joey is really nice to me, and doesn't make me do anything that is irrational. Only little things, like laundry, but even then he asks me really nicely. So I guess we still have that so called "brotherly bond"." Ryou said. "That still doesn't make sense." Kadi said confused. "Don't worry about it, it's not really anything important. And don't you dare loose sleep over something so little. It's in the past, and I'm perfectly fine with being where I am . . . right here with you." Ryou said truthfully. Speechless, Kadi could only smile back, and blush.

"Did you want anything?" Kadi asked. "What?" Ryou replied confused. "You came over for a reason didn't you?" Kadi asked. "Oh . . . well . . . I really only came to see you." Ryou said looking down and blushing for the second time. Hearing this, Kadi said, "Oh. . .", also blushing again. Ryou looked up and saw that she was looking down with a little tint of red on her cheeks. He reached out his hand and lifted up her chin and leaned in to kiss her. Feeling a hand on her chin, she looked up and saw that Ryou was looking at her, as he slowly leaned in to kiss her. She moved her head forward as well, and their lips touched. Kadi and Ryou leaned more into the kiss and pulled themselves closer together. Ryou wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. While Kadi raised her arms; and placed them around his neck and leaned into Ryou some more, if that was even possible. He lightly started to push her onto the bed and moved his head down to start kissing her neck, and then moved lower so that his head was were her collar bone was, as she moaned and put her hands through Ryou's hair, tugging at it.

Somehow, noticing what he was doing, he stopped and sat up on the bed, gasping. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. . . . I'll leave if you want." Ryou said standing up and heading towards the door, but stopped before he took another step away from the bed, because of the hand that rested on his arm. "Please don't leave. You can stay over night if you want." Kadi said, basically dragging him back to the bed. "I'm sorry." Ryou said, sitting back down on the bed. "It's alright, don't worry about it." Kadi said reassuring Ryou. "Come on, let's get some sleep." Kadi said getting under the blankets and moving out of the way so that Ryou would have a place to sleep. Taking off his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers on Ryou moved into the bed next to Kadi and faced her. They were looking at each other when Kadi moved closer and started to cuddle with him, appreciating the warmth that Ryou's body gave off.

Ryou placed his arms around Kadi, bringing her closer to him. "I love you." Kadi said into Ryou's chest. "I love you to." Ryou said kissing her hair and falling asleep, closing his eyes contently with his newly found love in his arms.

(1) I'm sure there's a better way to call them than ex-king and queen, but I was too lazy to go and find it...
