Hello everyone! Shadow here and here is the newest chapter! I hope you all enjoy it and please leave a comment! Hey Tea, can you give me a hand?

Tea: Hi everyone! Shadow does not own YuGiOh, she only has right to her characters and Skylar and Selene's pasts.

Thanks Tea! Enjoy the chapter!

(Maria's POV)

"M-Mai!? You're working with them!?" I demand.

"You got that right honey, now duel or lose your soul!" Mai says.

I have no choice, I have to make sure she doesn't go after Joey or Yami. Yami already lost Yugi, I can't let him lose his best friend too.

"Fine, let's duel!"

I draw my cards, I hope I can win this but I am still weak from my last duel and that strange vision I had before I got separated from my friends. I play my dragon hunter and a trap card to start,I hope she doesn't get her Harpie Sisters, if she does and I don't have Blue-eyes I am done for! I see her smile and she summons her Harpie Lady. Shit! I hope she doesn't have Elegant Egotist or this is going to be a fast duel!

"And now I place one card face down and end my turn," Mai says.

What is she planning? I draw my next card and see it is my dad's toon world! Yes! This is going to help.

"I play Toon World and summon from there toon summoned skull!" I say activating the card.

This will turn the duel into my favor.

(Mokuba's POV *Little Mokie!*)

"Brother! S-slow down!" I call, running after Seto.

"We have to find these freaks and get those cards back!" Seto calls back to me.

I sigh as I continue to run after him, as we round the corner I see Mai and Maria in the middle of a duel. But something is wrong, Mai is smiling in almost an evil way while Maria has a nervous look on her face.

"Brother! It's Mai and Maria!"

"What!?"

I skid to a stop when Seto stops running and turns to see Mai and Maria, I see his eyes widen in worry. Maria must be losing the duel, but why is Mai dueling her? Please don't tell me that she is working with Doma?

"Now you lose love!" We hear Mai say. "I activate Elegant Egotist, turning my Harpie Lady into Harpie Lady Sisters! Now attack her Toon World and destroy the last of her life points!"

"NO!" I yell, running over.

I hear Maria scream as the last of her life points hit zero, that's when a strange symbol like the one on Yugi appears. I see Seto get ahead of me as Maria begins to fall, he catches her and holds her close.

"Brother...is she?"

We both look up to see a stone card with Maria on it.

"What did you do to her!?" I demand, glaring at Mai.

"I took her soul," Mai says. "That was the price for losing."

(Maria's POV)

Where am I? What is going on? It feels like I am flying, yet falling at the same time. I open my eyes to see darkness all around me, what did Mai do to me? Suddenly I can hear whispering, who's whispering? Why are they whispering? That's when I feel something...soft underneath me.

"You should have been more careful," A voice says.

Was that Seto? Is he scolding me for dueling so poorly when I am unconscious? C'mon, I was already weak from my last duel before Mai!

"I'm sorry."

Wait, who was that? I don't recognize that voice. Slowly I open my eyes and I see Seto dressed in the same clothes from my vision. Next to him is a young girl with brown hair and a white head dress.

"Thank Ra, you are awake," Past Seto says.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Mana," Seto says sternly.

"I...may have accidentally hit you with a spell," The girl, Mana, says shyly.

"Mana, how many times have I told you not to practice magic when the soldiers are training," I scold. Wait, why am I scolding her? Is this...a vision?

'It's a memory, not a vision,' A voice says

"W-who's there!?" I demand.

'You will know soon.'

"I'm sorry Skylar!" Mana bows to me as I sit up.

"Just make sure not to do it again, I can't keep having to send someone to the healer, or myself for that matter," I say.

"Go find Mahad, he will give you your punishment," Seto orders.

Mana nods and walks out of the healer's room, I turn to see Seto pinch the bridge of his nose. I let out a light giggle, even in the past he was uptight.

"What's so funny?" Seto demands.

"If I remember right, you were just like Mana when we were kids," I remind. "How many times did you have to come here after a spell backfired?"

Seto tsks, yep he's hardly changed in 3,000 years.

"Where's -?" I ask. Huh? Why can't I hear the name?

"He's with his father, they are in the throne room dealing with the stolen weapons from Thebes," Seto tells me.

That's right! Past Gabs came and saved Yami from Bandits and said that she was there to catch thieves and return the goods to Thebes!

"Is the princess with them?"

"Yes, she is not what I expected for a princess, but it seems - has taken a liking to her."

I watch as Seto begins to leave when my hand grabs his wrist. I am shocked by my actions and so is Seto, I can only watch as my body moves on its own. I walk up to Seto and kiss his cheek, I feel my cheeks heat up I see Seto's face has turned bright red.

"Thank you for always looking out for me Seto," I smile before leaving the room.

"Is he your husband or something?" I hear a voice ask.

I whip around, hand on my sword and I see Past Gabs or Selene as she is called I believe.

"I thought that you were with the Pharaoh and his father?" I ask.

"That is done, I am enjoying the scenery when I saw the little...scene in the healing room."

"You were eavesdropping?" I demand.

"No, I am always aware of what is going on in my surroundings. It's one of the first things you learn when you are an Amazon," Selene tells me with a shrug. "So, is he your husband?"

"N-no! I am just his guard and friend," I say, feeling my face heat up again.

"That is not what it looked like to me," Selene says, following me.

"I don't care what it looked like to you. I am telling you that there is nothing between me and Seto."

"If you are just a guard, shouldn't you talk about him as Priest Seto?"

I feel my heart stop, so she is aware of our customs. I do need to call Seto by his title when talking with others, except for - and Mahad, or when I am on duty which I am. I see the smirk grow on her face, oh she is totally Gabrielle's ancestor! She has the same smirk when she knows she is right.

"As an Amazon, we do not fall in love or marry men," Selene says.

I look at her in shock, I mean now that is sorta common knowledge but in this time, I guess it was not common.

"We are warriors, we do not need men to protect us," Selene continues as we enter the garden. "However, I am not like the other Amazons, I can tell when people are in love. I wish I had that, the only man I know is like a brother to me."

"Why are you telling me this?" I ask.

"Because you deserve to be happy with the man you love. I won't get that, but you can. Tell Priest Seto your feelings."

I look into Selene's eyes and I can tell that she is not only telling the truth but is encouraging me to tell Seto. Now I know this is Gabrielle, she has hardly changed in 3,000 years, always helping others to be happy even if she can't be.

"Okay, I will," I hear myself saying.

"Good, you won't regret it."

(Later)

"I cannot believe I am doing this," I whisper. "Oh great blue-eyes, give me strength."

Wait, What!? Is that why I can communicate with the Blue-eyes!? Do I have some sort of connection to it? I hear my fist lightly knocking on the door and soon it opens to reveal Seto and he is shirtless and without his hat. I feel my face heat up more at the sight, oh Ra! Get a grip!

"Is there something I can do for you Skylar," Seto asks. "I thought that you were on patrol?"

"I was, but...there is something I need to tell you," I say.

Seto nods and allows me into his chambers, I walk in and notice all of the scrolls and books around the room and on his desk. His bed is the only thing that is clean and has no clutter. I turn to face Seto as he shuts the door.

"What do you need to tell me?" Seto asks.

"It's about earlier," I start. "After I had...kissed your cheek. I wanted to tell you that...I love you Seto. I have for a long time, I know it is wrong of me. I am your guard, I shouldn't love you so, but I do and I always will."

The room grows silent as I wait for Seto to respond, I finally look at his face to see the pure shock all over. I knew I shouldn't have told him, I knew he'd reject me.

"W-well, that's all, I should g-go now," I say as I head for the door.

Suddenly, I feel his arms around my waist and he pulls me against his chest, I turn my head to look at him but his face is buried in my shoulder.

"You have no idea how happy you have made me," Seto whispers.

I feel my eyes widen, what did he just say?

"I have wanted to tell you for so long, but my duties have prevented me and I thought that you would not return my affection. I want you to be mine, and only mine."

I turn in his arms to face him, he looks at me and I can see the love in his eyes. Just like Seto in my time, so our love has been around for 3,000 years? We share a loving, passionate kiss before pulling apart.

"I'm going to have to thank Selene," I mumble.

"What was that?" Seto asks, looking at me.

"W-well, she saw what happened in the healer's room and she advised me to tell you the truth," I admit.

"So, she told you too," Seto sighs.

"Wait, she talked to you too?"

"Yes, it was before I went to the meeting about - finding a queen soon," Seto explains. "She seems very knowledgeable on relationships despite not having one herself."

"I feel sorry for her," I say, hugging him. "She will never get to experience what it is like to be in love, having someone to hold and be with."

'You two were inseparable after that,' a voice says as the scene goes black once again.

"Seto and I..." I smile.

'Even after all these years, your love has stayed true.'

"Who are you?" I ask. "Are you the Blue-eyes?"

That's when the blue-eyes appears right in front of me, I smile, it feels nice to have them here. It's like...we are connected.

'We are connected.'

"We are?"

'Yes, I didn't just exist as a monster to summon, I was a protector. But I need one who was strong willed to control my power.'

"You chose me..." I whisper and the Blue-eyes nods.

'Your family line has had such great power for generations, you have always been able to summon me when needed. However, that one day, you used everything to make me more really and it ended with your death.'

"W-what!?"

'Seto was distraught that he begged me to bring you back, I told that I could do it but it would not be in that time. He would have to find you again in the future, and he has though he does not realize it yet.'

This explains everything, my connection to the card, my sudden connection to Seto at Duelist Kingdom, why I am having these visions, and my love for Seto begin so strong and unwavering. I smile, but what happened that caused me to use so much power to summon the Blue-eyes that caused me to die? I guess that is something I am going to find out when we learn of Yami's past.

Oh~ More info! Now we are getting somewhere! I am sorry for not updating the other day, I was not sure where I wanted this chapter to go at first.

If any of you have suggestions please let me know! As well, if you have questions, leave those too, I will be happy to do a Q&A.

See you all in the next chapter!
