Meanwhile, as Krystal, Yugi, and Usagi babble on, a dark presence is laying in wait. Queen Beryl, Leader of the Negaverse was on their tail.

"So, the white moon princess and that crazy sister of hers have finally reunited you say Jadeite? Perfect. Now is the time to strike my faithful servant." Jadeite nods his head and disappears, gathering a few of his minions before he leaves.

"Jadeite please let me help you! My powers have grown since we last met and I have a plan to gather lots of energy. We invite lovesick couples on a cruise!" Titus quipped, almost begging him with her big blue puppy eyes. Jadeite sighed before answering her, a simple nod and grunt, then beckoning her to go through his portal to the human world.

"Let's get this over with, and hope those meddling sailor senshi don't interfere. Our great leader needs the energy."He said with a smile before entering the portal himself, seeing Titus already had the ship and everything prepared.

"Our ship will cast off tomorrow, Captain." She said with a wicked smirk as she continued to spread flyers all over Tokyo. Jadeite nodded his head and smiled back at her, then walked over to the Tokyo Kobayashi Grande hotel to get them to rooms for the night. It went smoothly and exactly as planned, except unfortunately for them, a powerful senshi had just received tickets from her father. They came in a small blue envelope with a card, straight to Krystal, who reads it out loud. "Hello dearest. Here's another present for you. Tickets to a new love cruise. Why don't you take Seto? I hear he's sweet on you. Anyway, enjoy. Love you! –Daddy"

"Usagi-Chan, I think you should come with me. *I sense something fishy going on with this cruise. It could be the enemy. I know you know what I'm talking about, sailor moon.*" Usagi nods her head again and smiles a little, looking to Krystal, who sits on the couch exhausted, but smiling.

"Yugi, can Atem come out to play? I have something for him. He has to follow me into my room though. *she smirks a little* hey, I spent the night in his room, he can spend a few minutes in mine." Her smirk widened as she got up and sexily walked to her bedroom door, watching as Yugi transformed to Atem and walked toward her. "Just through this door my spiky haired Egyptian god. *kisses his head and walks into the room* Wait

till you see your surprise!"

The two of them walk into the room where she picks up a blue velvet jewelry type box from the desk, smiles a little and hands it to him. "Open it love. It's just a little something I made for you. So you don't ever forget me again." Krystal watches as he slowly opens the box which contains a golden millennium puzzle shaped locket. The locket itself is already equipped with both their pictures and has an engraving on the underside in hieroglyphics which reads: 'Forever and always my spiky haired Egyptian god'

"I hope you like it Atem. It took me all day to make. My metal bending skills are a little rusty is all. " she smiles at him, looking for an answer, her eyes searching his face, her expression desperate to please.

"I love it Krystal. It will be my new good luck charm. Just like you my blue moon princess. You don't have to please me." Atem kisses her softly, smiling at her, taking her hand and walking out of the bedroom. Usagi had just left to go home and Seto was standing there with blue roses and a box of chocolate.

"Setty! This is such a surprise! I was just showing Yugi around the apartment. *kisses him long and languidly, smirking into it at Atem's expression* so, what's the occasion?" She smiles a little bit more, taking his hand, but faints landing right in Seto's arms. The pair looks at her concerned as Seto sets her on the couch.

"Is she alright Seto? She looks pale. *Atem looks very concerned and takes her hand, squeezing it* Krystal, please come back to us. *whispers* to me." Seto is so worried about Krystal, he momentarily forgets all about his silly quarrel with Yugi.

"Yugi, call my doctors. I'll make sure she is okay. My poor blue haired princess. Please be okay. I'm not sure I could live without you." He sits by her side, stroking her face gently and looking very concerned, his eyes conveying all the love he feels for her. Atem dials the number he was given, looking sad and every bit as concerned as Seto, but slight jealousy is conveyed in his eyes.

"Yes, this is Yugi Motou, I'd like some doctors brought to the Tokyo Kobayashi Grande hotel, top floor. The daughter of the Kobayashi Empire is sick. Please hurry. She is very weak and Mr. Kaiba is very worried." The worker on the phone tells him that they'll be right there and not to worry. Atem sighs a bit in relief and walks over to Seto, who looks about ready to cry, something very rare for him.

"Seto, she'll be alright. The doctors are just below us. They'll be here before you know it. I'm just as worried about her as you are. I know it will all work out though. Krystal is a fighter. She couldn't leave you, the love of her life." Atem hesitantly puts a hand on his shoulder comfortingly, and amazingly Seto doesn't shrug it off, instead he speaks, his voice full of love and worry.

"I hope you're right Yugi. I couldn't live if she died. She's the most precious person in my life." His eyes look sad as he strokes her head lovingly, praying she lives. Just then, Krystal's eyes flash open and she runs for the toilet, throwing up the pancakes from breakfast and the sushi from lunch.

"Oh, I don't feel so good... So sick. *starts to throw up again, mostly bile coming up this time* so sick..." Seto and Atem go to hold her hair relieved that she is okay enough to throw up. Seto thinks to himself, remembering the night before, a slight blush painted on his cheeks.

"Could she be pregnant? No, it's not possible. We only had sex last night! Though maybe it is. There's something very magical about my beautiful blue rose." Seto thinks to himself as he kisses her head, seeing the doctors arrive out of the corner of his eye. Krystal faints again and Seto brings her to her room, sitting next to her, worry clear across his usually stoic face. Atem greets the 4 doctors, silently bringing them into the room, where Krystal is breathing slowly and looking very sick.

"Seto, the doctors are here. We have to leave while they check her out. Come with me. I'll make us some hot chocolate." Atem utters to Seto softly, putting a hand on his shoulder again. Seto simply nods and walks out, but not before kissing Krystal's head chastely. Atem follows looking sad as Seto takes a seat on the couch.

"This is where I was sitting when we had our first kiss. I pray she's alright. She's the glue that keeps my damaged soul together." Atem looks over to Seto as he's making the cocoa, noticing that he's crying holding what looks like a blue teddy bear to himself. He walks over and sits down, trying to offer comfort and a hot cup of cocoa.

"Here Seto. This will help with the pain. My mother always used to make this for me when I was sad. I'm convinced it has healing abilities." Atem smiles a little, looking to the broken man in front of him. It was strange; he had never seen Seto like this. It was almost as if Krystal had taken part of his soul. It made Atem mad with jealousy. He wanted to be this close to her too, but he couldn't as a spirit. Why did life have to be so unfair!? Before they both knew it, the doctors came out and looked to the two worried men.

"Do not worry. Ms. Kobayashi will be fine. She just has a very serious flu. She is awake now. You may go in." Both Atem and Seto looked so relieved. Their love would be alright. The pair quietly walked into the room, laying down on either side of Krystal, who was smiling at them.

"*weakly* Setty… Yugi… stay… with… me? I… don't… want… to… be.. Alone… To… weak… to… keep… the… nightmares… away. Stay… with… me…." Krystal smiled at them again before passing out and the two men who loved her cradled her in their arms.

"Seto, I don't want to fight anymore. Krystal wouldn't like that. She loves us both too much to see us arguing the way we do. I can tell it hurts her; she doesn't like seeing the love of her life and her best friend at each other's throats. Let's agree to never fight again. For her sake. *kisses Krystal's head* She needs us both."

Surprisingly, Seto nods his head, and then speaks.

"You're right Yugi. Truthfully, I'm pretty tired of fighting too. Nothing is more important to me now than Krystal. I couldn't bear to lose her over something as silly as fighting with you. I'd feel awful." Seto's pleading expression only showed love and affection and Atem smiled at that.

"At least I know she'll be loved until I can finally be her knight again." Atem thinks to himself as he cuddles close to Krystal, softly singing their song in her ear. Seto smiled lightly and cuddled close to Krystal as well, stroking the hair out of her face.

"Rah, she's beautiful. I can't help but love her. I can tell you feel the same, cousin. Don't think I don't know it's you, Atem. It's my turn to love her though. You'll have her for the rest of the millennia that are to come." He looks kind of sad as he says it, remembering their many past lives together.

"She mourned you. Every time we were reborn but you were not, she cried. My poor blue rose cried so many tears for you cousin. She thought it was her fault. Every past life I would comfort her, and every time it was the same story, me picking up the pieces of you not being there. I think that's why I hated Yugi so much. He reminded me of you. Then, when he solved your puzzle, it only became worse. That's why I was so determined to beat him. I wanted to crush him for the 5 millennia of past lives you weren't there. You're finally here. Perhaps this time she will find the happiness she so deserves." He smiles a little at Atem and sips his cocoa, looking to Krystal who is sleeping peacefully now. She tosses and turns just slightly, muttering the names Asuka and Tenshi in her dreams.

"I wonder what she's dreaming about. I don't know anyone named Asuka or Tenshi. *strokes the hair out of her face* I had a wonderful dream last night about her Atem. In it we had two children with one on the way, and were as happy as a pig in a mud pie as she would say. There was something strange about it though. It felt more like a vision than a dream. Maybe Krystal's powers are rubbing off on me again." Seto smiles a little thinking about it, wondering what it would be like to be a father.

Meanwhile, Beryl was watching Krystal very carefully, looking for a weak spot, and finding nothing. She ran her hands over her crystal ball and looked to the scene happening in Krystal's bedroom.

"So, the blue moon princess is pregnant? *beryl grimaces* I've just sent jadeite on a suicide mission. She'll tear him apart. Everyone knows it's unwise to piss one of them off in general, but if she's pregnant, her powers will be doubled. Jadeite may just die. Nephrite, I will keep a close eye on him. If I tell you to go, you must. Krystal is the violent one after all. He'll need all the help he can get. *Beryl sighs* If only she were evil. She'd be the most valuable ally we've ever had. Krystal's even more ruthless than I."

The next day:

Krystal is up cooking breakfast for the boys when they awaken, with fresh eggs, nice thick slices of bacon, freshly baked biskets, and just squeezed orange juice. Seto and Atem look at her flabbergasted as she plates everything up, smiling and singing.

"Morning loves!" she says with a huge smile as she serves them and then goes into the bedroom to change. She returns quickly in her school uniform, but Seto sits her down sternly and gets her some breakfast.

"Oh no, you're staying home today. I will not have the love of my life passing out again. I'll bring your schoolwork to you. Now go back in your bedroom and get your pajama's on. I'll have it all worked out for you." Krystal nods her head and reluctantly does as she's told, knowing full well it's futile to argue with him. She continues to sing, coming out in a cute pair of hello kitty blue fleece lounge pants and a matching shirt.

"Ah comfort. That's the only thing I don't like about Japanese schools. Although the uniforms are very cute, they're awfully stuffy. I can't breathe in it. Back in America we don't have uniforms unless you go to private, catholic, or an overly violent school. I miss being able to express my personality through clothes at school." She smiles at them and kisses each of their heads, sitting down again, crossing her legs and taking a small bite of one of her biskets. Atem smiles back at her and kisses her head, his eyes looking concerned.

"Are you sure your okay my blue moon princess? You were so sick last night, we thought you might die," his eyes show much concern but still he smiles, a small glimmer of hope added to his concern. Krystal just nods her head and goes to speak, but Seto butts in as he always does.

"Be that as it may, I still want you to stay home today. I don't want to have to worry you'll pass out in the pool during gym today. You're staying home. That's final. I'll coop you up in my mansion where I can keep a watch on you if I have to! *falls to his knees* I don't want to lose you Krys! You're the most important thing in my life!" Krystal smiles a little and pulls him close to her, kissing his head and rocking him comfortingly.

"Don't worry Setty-bear. I'm fine. I'll stay home and rest today, but I do have business to take care of tonight, something I have to do. You must understand. *kisses him* It will be fine. This blue moon princess doesn't go down easily." She smiles again, pulling him up into her lap, cuddling close. Her mind wanders to that night as she holds him, a plan formulating.

"So, beryl is back again, well that stands to reason that the shitennou will be at her side. Perfect. That means I can kill two birds with one stone. Now, how am I going to crush jadeite?" she thinks to herself, her expression looking determined. Krystal strokes Seto's head and smiles, the wheels turning in her head and the plan to beat Jadeite's butt clear in her mind.

"Alright you two, it's time for school. I'll be here when you get back. My twin sister and I have something to do later, but I'll be here loves. *kisses their heads* Now don't worry, and go to school, okay? We can't all be absent." Krystal smiles at them, laying down on the couch, wrapping herself in a dark blue blanket that matches her pajama's and turns on the television to find a re-run of Codename: Sailor V on.

"This is such a good show, though it's not really to true to real life. The V I know is a ditzy lovesick teenager with a talking cat named Artemis. We met in England. She's an amazing fighter, but I'm still better." Krystal says with a small smirk as she crosses her legs on the couch. She sees the boys have quickly gone to change and are now on their way out but not before each kissing her on the lips.

"Bye loves. I'll see you at 3. You can have my limo take you home. Okay? Give yours the night off Setty-bear." She smiles again, and the two boys walk out the door and to the school.

"Hey Yugi! Where's Krystal? I was looking forward to her teaching me more dueling tips and tricks. Is she okay, and since when are we friends with Kaiba?" Jou asked as soon as he saw Yugi come in with Seto. Yugi simply smiled at him a little and then Seto spoke.

"She has a really violent flu. I had to force her to stay home today. As for Yugi and I, we have decided to put our differences aside for Krystal's sake. She doesn't need more drama after all she's been through." Jou looks shocked to the core, but says only that he wishes Krystal many get well wishes. The day went on uneventfully after that, and the two boy's race back to Krystal's place, where she is sleeping peacefully on the couch.

"Krystal, wake up sweetie. We're back. Are you feeling better my beautiful blue rose?" Seto says softly showing concern in his slender ice blue eyes as Krystal awakens.

"Yes Setty-Bear. I slept for at least 3 hours, and I kept all my food down. I feel like I could conquer the world right now." She smiles at him as she says this, trying to reassure him. Yugi smiles quietly in the big fluffy blue chair next to the couch, looking to the pair happily, hearing Atem's voice in his mind.

"Yugi, how can I get her to see I'm the one for her, not him? I mean, I don't want to fight with Seto, but I guess I'm too selfish for my own good. I want her all to myself. Why can't she just love me back?" Atem sighs exasperated, unsure what to do, his face in his hands as if he were crying.

"I love her so much! It's not fair! Why did she have to meet him first? I could be the one in her arms if it weren't for Seto. *he sighs again* Yugi, what am I going to do? Seeing them together is torture, and now she's pregnant with his child! I knew the second I touched her. I felt that same spark the night she told me she was pregnant with marik. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to be without her." Transparent tears fall from his eyes, and he walks into Krystal's room, Yugi following, trying to offer comfort to his brother like friend.

"I wish I could say I knew what to tell you Atem. Krystal is the most amazing woman I've ever known and I know she loves you. I can see it in the way she looks at you. She loves Seto too, but the love she has for you is more than just lustful. It's a deep, forever kind of love, like my grandparent's had. Seto's destiny has yet to be revealed, and I know that when it is, there may be a chance for you. Just wait. The winds of change are upon us, Yami. I can sense it." Atem sighs but smiles at Yugi a little, hope in his slender red eyes.
