----Ancient Egypt----

"High Priest, you know you're not allowed to be here..."

"Hmph. Do you think I give a damn what the pharaoh says?"

"But what if you're caught? Everybody knows that nobody but the pharaoh is allowed in his harem..."

"Everybody also knows that harem boys aren't allowed to leave the harem and yet I met you in the garden last week."

"All right, I admit I broke the rules, but I really wanted to go outside."

"And I really wanted to see you again. What's the difference?"

"What? I-I don't know what to say, HIgh Preist..."

In the pitch black of the night the High Preist Seth stood next to a timid harem boy with waist length white hair and soft brown eyes. The boy was one of the few boys in the harem who still wore the golden necklace which showed he was still pure. Preist Seth gently pushed the boy against the wall and looked down at him.

"Just call me Seth."

The boy's face flushed as he gazed into Seth's deep blue eyes. "Seth, why me?"

"Ever since I met you in the garden last week, I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. For the past few months I've felt like someone was watching me, but whenever I looked all I saw was curtains moving. You were the one following me, weren't you?"

The boy's blush deepened as he slowly nodded.

"I thought so. Why didn't you ever come forward? Why not just come out and tell me how you felt?"

The boy leaned forward, wrapping his arms around Seth's neck and resting his head against his chest. "I couldn't tell you. Seth, you're the high priest and I'm a harem boy. The law forbids us from being together. I love you so much, but I can't..."

Seth gently held the boy who was about to cry. "If I become pharaoh, the law won't matter."

"What?"

Seth leaned forward and softly kissed the boy's slightly parted lips. After a moment he pulled away and smiled down at him. "Don't worry about it. I'll do whatever it takes to have you by my side."

Seth once again kissed the boy, only this time their kiss was deeper and filled with passion and desire.

"Ryou?"

The boy and Seth pulled away and spun around to see one of the other harem boys staring at them in shock.

"Malik!"

-------------------------

Ryou shot up in his bed covered in sweat. He glanced around his room and pulled himself out of bed. "Seth... Who is he..? Bloody hell, I can't even remember what he looked like... But he sounded just like Kaiba..." He sighed in frustration. "I think it's time I told someone about these dreams..."

Ryou picked up the phone and called the only person he felt he could trust. "Please pick up..."

A sleepy answer came after a few rings. "Mmm...hello?"

"Malik..."

"Ryou? What's wrong? It's nearly two in the morning."

Ryou glanced at the floor and twirled the phone cord around his fingers. "I'm sorry...Do you want me to call back in the morning?"

"(yawn) It's okay. Since you called me this late, something must be bothering you."

"Malik, I need to tell you something important..."

"What's up, Ry?"

"Promise me you won't tell Bakura."

"What? Kura doesn't even know?"

"No, and he can't find out. You're the only one I can trust, Malik."

"(sigh) All right, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Ryou sat on his bed holding the phone in his lap and tried to think of how to explain it. "You see, lately I've been having these dreams..."

"(smirk) You know, Ry, there are ways to get rid of dreams like that..."

Ryou sat confused for a second before he blushed in realization. "Not those kinds of dreams, hentai!"

"(chuckle) Ok, ok. I was just kidding. So what kind of dreams were they?"

"I'm positive they take place in ancient Egypt. It's always late at night so the only light is the moonlight comming in from the window. I'm sitting on a very comfortable pile of pillows wearing what I believe is a royal harem outfit. Then a man walks in, I belive his name was Seth, and we start talking. We're speaking in a language I can't understand, so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Then he kisses me. It's about that part when I realize my hair is way longerthan it normally is. It's all the way down to my waist and a lot thinner. We break apart and talk some more, then he kisses me a second time and I hear you say my name. We turn around and you're standing there, wearing the same outfit as me, only without a golden necklace. Then I wake up." Ryou finished explaining his dream and waited for Malik's response.

"...Ryou?"

"What is it?"

"Do you remember what the guy looks like?"

"No, I always forget once I wake up. But I can always remember his voice."

"And?"

"...It's nearly identical to Kaiba's."

--------Ishtar House-------

Malik sighed as he ran his fingers through his flaxen hair. He glanced at Marik on the bed next to him to make sure he was still asleep. Positive that Marik wouldn't be waking up anytime soon he turned his attention back to Ryou. "Listen to me Ryou, don't tell anyone else about this, okay?"

"Why?"

"That wasn't just a dream, it was a memory."

"...A what?"

Malik sighed again and decided it was time to tell his friend the truth. "Ryou, you've always been my best friend. I've hoped that you would never remember what happened all those thoughsands of years ago."

"Malik, what are you talking about?"

"We were both consorts in Yami's, or Pharaoh Atemu's, personal harem. You were one of the few boys that had never been touched by the Pharaoh, that's what the necklaces symbolized. One day, you decided you wanted to get out of our room. Knowing the palace like the back of my hand, I helped you sneak outside to the inner garden in the back of the palace. That's when everything began to fall apart."

"Why?"

"Just so happens you saw the high preist near the rose bushes. Luckily he didn't see you, but from that day on you began sneaking out regularly to find him. I didn't say anything because I figured nothing would come of it. After a few months of following him, he caught you in the gardens."

"Did I get in trouble?"

"Worse, you fell in love...And so did he."

"Oh...Well, that explains the dream. But why can't I tell anyone about my dream? Yami doesn't care about protocal anymore."

"You can't say anything because your love, High Priest Seth, was reincarnated as Kaiba Seto. That's why you recognized his voice."

"...I guess that explains a lot..."

Malik stared at his cell phone in confusion. 'The hell? What's he talking about?' "Ryou, did I miss something?"

"(nervous laugh) You see, even before I started having these dreams, I've had a thing for Kaiba..."

Malik sweatdropped. 'And so history repeats itself...'

"Malik? You still there?"

"Yeah, I'm still here. I was jsut a bit shocked. I guess even time and death couldn't separate you two."

--------Ryou's house-------

Ryou blused heavily at Malik's comment. "Um...but Malik...That's not true. Kaiba doesn't even like me..."

"(sigh) Once again, I'm going to add feul to the fire..."

Ryou blinked in confusion. "What?"

"Listen to me Ry, I was the only one who knew about your relationship with Priest Seth. Earlier today I found out from Marik that Yami and Kaiba broke up because Yami got his memories as the pharaoh back and realized Kaiba has remembered everything since their first deul."

"But...If he remembered everything and went out with Yami...maybe he doesn't care about me..."

"Don't be an idiot!"

Ryou jumped slightly at Malik's tone. "What do you mean?"

"Ryou, everyone thought you had a crush on Yami. When Kaiba noticed, his jealousy hit dangerous levels. He started going out with Yami to make sure you never did. Taht, and the fact that he knew the pharaoh would freak out when he regained his memories. No matter what game he was playing with the pharaoh, I'm positive he still loves you."

"You mean this entire time Kaiba has loved me, believing I was in love with his worst enemy?"

"Exactly."

"I have to do something...I have to tell Seto."

"Ryou, be careful."

Ryou sat confused about Malik's warning. "Why?"

"(irritated sigh) Think about it Ry. Back in Egypt, Mariku and Bakura were best friends with the pharaoh. Just recently, Kaiba toyed with Yami. Bakura, Marik and Yami are all royally pissed."

Ryou thought back on all the warnings Bakura had given him about staying away from Seto. "You're right. Bakura told me to stay away from Kaiba."

"Good, so you'll be a good little Hikari and do exactly as your Yami says, right?"

Ryou smirked slightly at the obvious sarcasm in Malik's voice. "Of course. Now if you don't mind, I have to go and be a good little Hikari."

"(laughs) All right, do what you must. And if the rare chance that anything bad comes up, just know I'll be by your side."

Ryou smiled bright at his friend's words. "I know, and I won't forget. I may not have my memories back, but all the feelings are still there. You're the best, Malik. I'll call you tomorrow night. Bye."

"See ya."(click)

Ryou placed the phone back on his bedside table and proceeded to get dressed. After he pulled on a pair of blue jeans and his white and blue striped shirt he glanced at his clock before opening his window. '3 a.m...I hope Seto's still awake."

Making sure his soul room door was firmly locked, Ryou jumped out his window and landed in the front lawn with little to no sound. 'Bakura must be rubbing off on me...' He dusted himself off and sprinted down teh street towards the Kaiba mansion. 'Bakura's gonna kill me...'

Ryou: (smiles) Yes, please Review and tell us what you think.

Malik: Yeah, Rika's being a bitch and saying she needs at least ten reviews or she won't update.

Marik: (holding a book titled "Darkside Zodiac") According to this you, a gemini, have a bitch rating of A++.

(sighs) I hate you all...

Bakura: (smirks) The book never lies!
