Seto's Mistake

Sapphira's P.O.V.

I watched from the stands with Seto at the Intercontinental Duel Monsters Championship tournament. We were both invited here as special guests and so far the tournament was going great so far. They were at the finals and it was the creator of Duel Monsters, Maximillion Pegasus, against Bandit Keith. It was going to be interesting that was for sure.

The World Championship was about a month ago and I was in the finals until I was beaten by Seto, but it was still a good match. Seto was very impressed that I got that far and told me that I was a good duelist. All I had to do was improve my skills and I might be able to beat him someday. Only time will tell though.

I watched the duel very closely when I saw that the Millennium Eye that he had on his other eye was glowing softly. I growled softly so that Seto wouldn't hear me as Pegasus handed a piece of paper to a kid from the audience and the kid beat him by following the instructions on the paper.

Zahara was beside me in spirit form and was just as angry.

It seems that Pegasus is abusing the power of his Millennium Item. I think that we had better tell Shadi about this once we get back home, Sapphira. We need to hear his judgement on this issue.

I know, Zahara. He can't allowed to abuse his power any longer.

Seto was shocked and turned to me.

"He had to be cheating somehow to win," Seto answered. "There's no way that he could've know how to win like that."

"He could've been using magic Seto" I answered simply. "Have you ever thought about that."

"Stop using your overactive imagination, Sapphira" Seto answered, annoyed. "It's just a simple parlor trick that should be easy for me to figure out Magic doesn't exist. People who believe in that nonsense lack the intelligence to stand up for themselves."

When he turned back to me, he took a step back at the fierce glare I gave him and made Mokuba slightly confused before I left the stands to meet Pegasus since he was the reason that I was here in the first place.

I walked up to him with a smile on my face as he introduced myself.

"Hello Sapphira," He greeted. "It's so nice to finally meet you in person. My name is Maximillion Pegasus as you already know. I'm glad that you and Seto could make it to the tournament."

I gave him a small smile at that.

"It's great to finally meet you in person as well, but can we go somewhere more private?" I answered politely. "I have something to discuss that shouldn't be overheard by others."

He nodded in understanding.

"Of course," He answered. "Follow me."

He led me to a private office before we both sat down at a table.

"So, what did you need to discuss with me?" Pegasus asked.

"It's about your Millennium Eye." I answered and his eyes shot up in surprise.

"You know about the Millennium Items?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Yes," I answered. "I am from a family of tombkeepers that guard the tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh. I have contact with Shadi on occassions whenever he feels the rare need to show up. I believe that you have already met one of my cousins, Ishizu Ishtar."

He nodded, surprised.

"I see," he answered. "I assume this is offical tombkeeper business then?"

I nodded and he motioned for me to explain.

"Shadi asked me to watch how you used your Millennium Item about a few months back because he was worried," I explained. "He and I can both sense the return of our Pharaoh is drawing near and we don't know what could happen on the day of his awakening. He wants to be sure that nothing hinders his awakening."

Pegasus nodded in understanding.

"I assume that you're a Millennium Item user as well?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Yes, but I can't tell you what item I posses" I answered. "Safety reasons, you know."

He nodded.

"You do realise that I have to tell Shadi about your use of it in the tournament, right?" I asked.

He looked at me confused. I took it as my cue to continue.

"I can't hide something like this, I made a promise to him" I explained. "I have to honor my promise or I will suffer the most severe consequences for breaking that promise. I hope that you understand."

He nodded in understanding.

"Of course I do, now go on" Pegasus answered. "I'm sure that you want to talk with your cousins later, right? Ishizu mentioned that her trouble-making cousin always visited her brother when she could becasue she worries about him."

I shook my head in amusement before nodded and left the tournament to go home. Almost immediately Shadi appeared when I got home. It was a good thing that my parents were out.

"Is he abusing the Millennium Eye?" Shadi asked.

I nodded and explained what I saw at the tournament. He nodded at my story.

"I give him one more chance," Shadi answered. "One more opportunity before I take action against him. Just let this next time run its course with little interference from you if you can help it, but if it has to do with the Millennium Puzzle then you have my permission to use your Millennium Item to help him in his fight to block his thoughts from the Millennium Eye."

I nodded.

"You know we may not see each other in a while, Shadi" I answered. "My parents decided to move to Japan and are taking them with me. They think we need a change in scenery for a little while. I'm going to be starting at Domino High School as a junior. They believe that it will give me the opportunity to have more than just Seto and Mokuba as friends."

Shadi nodded.

"I wish you luck then, Sapphira." Shadi answered. "I'll visit you before you leave to see how much Zahara has remembered. A check on her memories, if you will."

I nodded.

"That will be appreciated, Shadi" I answered. "I can't thank you enough for your help."

He nodded before he disappeared in a golden light. I smiled at his usual way of exiting places. He's definitely one for dramatic entrances. Then again, he's a ghost so it doesn't surprise me one bit.

The next moment I hear my phone ring. I pick up my dark blue phone and see that it was Mokuba who was calling me. Why would he be calling me? Oh well, might as well find out.

(Hey Mokuba.)

(Hey Sapphira, I was wondering if I could ask you something?)

I smiled at that.

(Sure, what's the question?)

He sighed slightly before I heard his answer.

(I was wondering why you were so mad at Seto when you left. You seemed pretty steamed after his comment about magic not existing.)

I sighed at that. I figured he would ask that.

(Sorry about that Mokuba. It's just that my religion revolves around the belief of magic, so when he said that stuff my temper got the best of me. He may have unintenionally insulted me, but it still hurt for him to say something like that about my beliefs. It's going to take a bit for him to earn my forgiveness, even if he aplogizes for being so careless and inconsiderate.)

Mokuba chuckled at that, probably imagining what Seto would say once he realizes how deep a hole he just dug himself into by his comment earlier.

(I'll tell him, but it will be up to him to decide if he'll apologize or not. You know how stubborn he can be.)

I laughed at that remark.

(Don't we both know it. Thanks for your help Mokuba.)

(No problem, Phira. I'm always happy to help. Bye)

I chuckled.

(Yeah, bye.)

I shut off my phone and went over to my bed to sleep for the night.
