Took a little longer to get this out. I know, I suck XD Had my one day school and my need to make cosplay take over again XD

Warning: There is gender bending in this chapter, so if you do not like the thought as Judai being a girl for a little while, don't read...(He does turn back to normal) And if people thought Johan was out of character from before, he will go beyond out of character now XD.

Disclaimer: Hm... I own the servants in the castle and Judai's family XD but the rest is not mine... yet XD

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

Manjoume gives a tired sigh, looking over the rooms he had understood belonged to the teachers. Ok, he snuck over to Judai's place, and he waited for a moment Judai was alone, and that moment he would use to get Judai to understand that he was the one for him!

He quickly hides, as someone came walking out of one of the rooms, looking over the moonlighted night from the balcony of the biggest teacher room.

"Hey! Judai!" Manjoume half yell and half whispers, Judai looking confused down at him, Manjoume making sign for him to come down to him.

A few seconds later, Judai was down with him.

"What do you want Manjoume?" Judai asks curious, only dressed in a shirt he had picked up in a hurry, and slippers he even didn't know he had. Manjoume gives a nervous gulp, thank god Judai had underwear… or he would have jumped him right away!

"Um, I just wanted to talk a little." Manjoume whispers, looking blushing away from the smiling Judai.

"Let us take a walk then." Judai laughs, having no idea just how much Manjoume wanted to jump him and strip him off that shirt, then fuck him until he didn't even know who Johan was... "Don't even think of pulling something funny Manjoume, I can see you eying my ass."

"I would never!" Manjoume stutters forth, Judai giving a warm smile to him. "Why would I want to have any sort of sexual tension towards a slacker like you?"

"Don't play stupid Manjoume." Judai laughs, Manjoume tensing as Judai wrapped his arms around him from behind, breathing down his neck as he moved his hand gently down into his pants. "So hard by only seeing me half naked and you claim you have no sexual tension towards me?"

Manjoume gives a groan, as Judai worked his dick skilfully. Was he dreaming? Or was Judai really giving him a hand job?

"Ngh… what about Johan?" Manjoume stammers, as he felt that he was closing in on his orgasm, Judai licking hungry up his neck.

"Why do I need him? I don't need anyone else than you, Jun-sama."

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

"You thought you heard someone?" Johan asks confused, looking at the tired Judai in his embrace.

"I can swear I heard Manjoume from the balcony just a second ago…" Judai yawns, clutching happy to Johan.

"I don't really like the thought of you hearing anyone else than me right now." Johan laughs, feeling the slender and naked body in his embrace, man, he couldn't help getting turned on when Judai exposed himself like this! He just wanted to ravish him right away! "Hey, how about you start crying a little for me?"

"I knew you were a real pervert." Judai yawns, before he gives a low moan, feeling Johan caress his chest gently. "But I don't really mind…"

"I know, we are equally minded perverts." Johan laughs, kissing Judai gently on the cheek.

"I think we should start trying more kinky stuff." Judai pants, as Johan gave him a skill full hand job, showing the young teacher no mercy at all. "Johan… Johan!"

Johan gives a warm smile, as he brought his come covered hand to Judai's lips, Judai wasting no time in lapping it up, sucking wanting at the slender fingers, Johan giving a dreamy look at the sexy sight.

While Yuki Judai was adorable and more innocent in the bed, Haou Judai was more adult and sexy, he liked both parts of his dear Judai, since he was his, and only his.

"What sort of kinky stuff are you wanting?" Johan laughs, before he moved his hand down over Judai's ass.

"I'll show you later." Judai moans, giving a cry as Johan started preparing him. "Just wait until… we are back in the castle… again… I have some good idea of what we can do…"

"I'm already looking forward to it Judai-chan." Johan snickers, before he push himself hard into Judai, who gave a whimper.

"I'm the supreme king, you can't call me Judai-chan!" Judai complains, but goes silent, as Johan started to massage his dick in the same speed he fucked him.

"As long as you act so adorable when I fuck you, you are Ju-chan." Johan laughs, Judai just nodding in defeat, when Johan was like that… he knew it was impossible to say against. Even thou he was the king of that world, he felt like a slave when Johan was with him in bed. He would do anything Johan told him then. "So, does Ju-chan like his new call name?"

"I like it!" Judai hiccups, licking up Johan's neck. "Johan, you smell so good…"

"You haven't had warm blood for a while have you?" Johan asks, looking into the glowing red eyes. "Just drink, I'll be your new food source!"

"You are so sacrificing." Judai laughs, before he bite down, Johan slowing down the pace a little as Judai indulged happy at his blood, both of them soon entering a state of trance, none of them able to think of anything else than what they were feeling at the moment, wanting more of it.

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

"Manjoume is late." Asuka complains, looking around in the cafeteria, as some really suspect teachers and students had come for their night snack. "Sure you didn't see him Judai? I think he went to talk with you."

"I haven't seen him, but I think I heard him call…" Judai point out, looking over at the tired Johan, who had collapsed over the table. Judai was scary when he was high on blood! He felt drained, and not only off blood! "But since Johan didn't hear it I thought I just heard things."

"Could he have gotten lost in the forest then?" Johan asks, looking at some of the students that seemed to get something looking like blood transfusion packs to snack on. Weird, why did he suddenly feel thirsty too? Maybe he should keep bed for a while? Judai had really drained him.

"He probably is." Judai sighs, putting the empty plate away, before he got up. "I'll go and look for him, wanna come Johan?"

"Eh? Oh yes, I'm coming." Johan stutters forth, shaking his head a little, he felt giddy still, had to be the blood loss.

"You seem a little off Johan, do you have a fever?" Judai asks, laying his hand gently on Johan's forehead. "You are really warm."

"Don't worry, just the hot winter air." Johan laughs, Judai sweat dropping, what a dense excuse. "Let us get going now! Have to find that guy before he hurts himself."

"Ok!" Judai cheers, both of them running out before the embarrassed Asuka could stop them, the answer to everything wasn't to yell out and run off. "I bet he is just outside of my room, I have this bad feeling about it."

"If it is that guy I can believe it." Johan laughs, looking confused at the three Oujama brothers, which were a few meters into the forest. "Oh, there he is."

"Is he sleeping?" Judai asks confused, as they got over to him, the quite pleased Manjoume grinning in his sleep. "Wow, he must be dreaming something really good."
"Judai… more Judai…" Manjoume mutters in his sleep, Judai and Johan sweat dropping. "I will make you scream more… Judai…"

Manjoume turned, drooling as his grin grew, Judai feeling a shiver go down his back, Manjoume had wet dreams about him, just a little outside his room.

"I vote that we let him lay there and catch a cold." Johan complains, fighting an urge to clobber the grinning pro duellist.

"Come on Johan, he can't sleep out here." Judai sighs, sitting down on his knees beside him, shaking him gently awake. "Hey, Manjoume, wake up now, you are having a dream, wake up."

"Ngh…" Manjoume groans, opening his eyes slowly, looking right into bright brown eyes.

"Are you awake now?" Judai asks worried, Manjoume turning red.

"Um… did I say something in my sleep?" Manjoume stammers.

"A lot, but don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone." Judai laughs, giving a confused meep as Manjoume grabbed hard unto him, lifting his chin gently. "Eh… Manjoume?"

"If there is no other way for me to get you, I will win you over by force." Manjoume answers, Judai not really understanding the situation, before Manjoume kissed him hard on the lips, Johan looking wide eyed at the scene unfolding before him.

"Hey! What are you doing to my Judai!?" Johan yell furious, pulling the confused Manjoume away from Judai. "Judai is mine!"

"I love Judai! I deserve him more than you!" Manjoume yell, Judai looking confused at him.

"Manjoume? I didn't know you liked me that much…" Judai stammers, about to walk over to the almost crying Manjoume, but Johan grabbed him hard. "Johan?"

"No one in this or any other world loves Judai more than me!" Johan yell, Judai blushing confused as Johan clutched unto him for dear life. Not really understanding what sort of confession he had just come with. "Judai?"

"Johan, what you just said…" Judai stammers, Johan turning red too, as Judai looked hopeful up at him. Manjoume looking confused at them, why was Johan's confession more serious than his?! And he had said it first! "…Is it true?"

"Judai I…" Johan whispers, before he nods. "It is true… I have liked you for the longest time… or, I have loved you for the longest time, I just never really knew if you felt the same."

"Of course I do… Johan." Judai whispers, brushing the almost crying Johan's cheek gently.

"Hey! What about my confession?! I love you too!" Manjoume yell, but nothing he said could break the tension between the two others now. "Don't go into your own love world and overlook me!"

"Judai." Johan whispers, before he leans down, giving the hiccupping Judai a gentle kiss, Manjoume tackling the confused Johan to the ground. "Wah! I won! What is your problem!?"

"Judai is mine! I'm going to remove you one or another way you pest!" Manjoume growls, Judai looking confused at the two that were wrestling over the ground. Was this how they planned on winning his heart? Wonderful.

"Judai! Manjoume! What is the yelling about?!" Asuka yells, as she comes running to see the two dominating males roll over the entire forest. "Manjoume? Johan?"

"Judai is mine!" Johan growls, as the two of them went over to clawing at each others face.

"He is mine! He just doesn't know it yet!" Manjoume growls, as he bit after Johan, who pared perfectly, biting after Manjoume's finger. Manjoume giving a scream as he tried to shake Johan off his finger. "Get him off me! Save me!"

"Really brave Manjoume…" Asuka sighs, looking at the smiling Judai. "And why are you smiling? This is your fault you know?"

"Johan is protecting my honour, I think it is cute." Judai laughs, before he looks confused at Johan, who started shaking, his eyes widening as he seemed to have a seizure over something. Manjoume screaming out as the shaking Johan bit hard into his arm. "Johan! Manjoume!"

Judai grab the panicking Johan, Asuka handing him her gloves to gag Johan before he bit his own tongue.

"What the hell happened to him?!" Manjoume yells, as Asuka bandaged his bleeding arm.

"I have no idea." Judai stammers, holding the shaking Johan hard close, trying to get him to relax. "Johan!"

Judai gives a cry, as Johan dug his nails hard into his back, but then he goes silent, Asuka and Manjoume looking shocked at them, as something spread from Johan's touch, Judai's veins turning black under his skin as it spread slowly towards his face. And as it reached his eyes, they turned black, the pupils glowing bright yellow, before it started spreading over Johan's body too, his eyes turning black, before his pupils glows bright crimson red.

Then both to them fall to the ground, Asuka and Manjoume about to run to them, when Yubel suddenly appeared between them, grabbing Judai and Johan before she flew away, taking to them to the only place she could think of for the moment, Judai's castle.

"Hey! Where are you taking them?!" Asuka yell, she and Manjoume running after them as long as they could, before a cliff at the end of the forest stopped them. "Yubel!"

"It is in the direction of the castle…" Manjoume whispers, Asuka nodding. "Let us get after them! We have no idea what that crazy bitch is planning!"

"Hai." Asuka whispers, running back to the school together with Manjoume.

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

"Yubel-sama? What happened?!" Tsukasa cries, as Yubel carried the two boys into the castle, doing her best to not loose any of them after the long flight. "Will the lord be ok?"

"He will be ok, he just needs some rest." Yubel whispers, laying Judai down his bed, before she tossed Johan down into the spare bed that his father had ordered in before he left the castle. "Get someone to call for Misawa, and don't let any of Judai's friends into this room, other than Misawa, not even Mimiko…"

"But, why not?" Tsukasa whispers worried.

"None will be safe here now… before we have contained Johan…" Yubel whispers, looking at the still shaking Johan, his veins throbbing black under his skin. "Go now…"

"I will…" She stammers, giving one last look at her lord, before she ran out.

"Damn… why is this happening now?" Yubel complains, looking from Judai to Johan, to the gem beasts that appeared around Johan, trying to get any contact with him, but to no avail. "I advice any of you from touching him…"

"What is happening to Johan?" Sapphire Pegasus asks, looking at the silent Yubel. "And what did he do to Judai?"

"A ancient power of this world has awoken once more." Yubel whispers, sitting down at Judai's bed side, pulling the blankets over him as he seemed to be cold. "It was once a power of hate, which killed half of this world, even the supreme king…"

"But why would that power be inside Johan?!" Amethyst cat yell, looking worried at the now screaming Johan, the gag long gone from his mouth, as he scratched the blankets apart, looking like possessed as his body stiffened. "Johan!"

Johan flew slowly up to sitting position, the gem beasts backing a little away as he stopped shaking, the black veins fading as he looked up towards Yubel, his eyes glowing red.

"You…?" Yubel hiss, standing to protect Judai as Johan got slowly to his feet. "Keep away from him! You don't deserve Judai in this life time!"

"Yubel." Johan whispers, grabbing the duel monster spirit hard by the neck, forcing her easy down to the floor, a death stare in his eyes towards the other. "Be gone, you who stole my Judai away from me… Judai was rightfully mine from the start!"

Yubel gives a scream, as the same thing that happened to Judai happened to her, and she collapse to the floor, shaking before she fainted, Johan tossing her hard away. No one would come in his way this time! Judai was his!

"Rubi!" Ruby cries, as Johan had been about to reach for the unconscious Judai. "Rubii!"

"Keep away Ruby! Don't touch me!" Johan yell, grabbing the blankets, tossing them over the small monster. "If any of you touch me, you will die…"

"Johan…" Pegasus whispers worried, using his horn to help Ruby free, before all of them turned towards the door, where someone was knocking.

"Judai! Johan! Are you in there? Manjoume and Asuka said that something weird happened, and Tsukasa told me to come, is everything ok in there?" Misawa yell, continuing to knock hard on the door. "Yubel! Judai! Johan!"

Johan hesitate a little, before he wraps a blanket around Judai, lifting him up from the bed.

"Keep away… from Judai…" Yubel whispers, trying to get up again, as Johan carried Judai towards the window. The gem beasts following him slowly, they didn't know what was happening, but they had a feeling it had happened before. "Johan! Let him go!"

"Judai is mine this time Yubel." Johan laughs, giving a triumphant grin to the growling Yubel, who tried to move as the infection spread trough her body. "For millenniums I have waited for this moment! You won't stop me this time!"

The door opens, Misawa looking shocked at the sight before him, as giant black wings spread trough the room, Johan giving a grin, before he flew off, disappearing into the darkness.

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

Weak yellow eyes opens, Judai looking confused around in the dark room he was in. What had happened? He had tried to get Johan to relax, and then his entire body had gone cold, then nothing.

"Johan…" Judai whispers, looking at the blue haired boy that laid behind him in the darkness, his skin were death pale. "Johan… wake up…"

Johan gives a weak groan, before he opens his eyes slowly, looking at the tired Judai.

"Judai… where are we?" Johan whispers, to weak to nothing else than lay his hand gently over Judai's.

"I don't know…" Judai whispers, he also too weak to move, he felt like he had duelled a hundred people in one hour. "I feel tired, I don't even want to move yet…"

"Me neither." Johan whispers, being able to slowly move closer to Judai, laying his arms gently around him. "We'll try to sleep a little longer, maybe we feel better later."

"Ok." Judai whispers, starting to drift slowly asleep, he had such a weird feeling… like someone was missing… "Hey… It feels like Yubel is gone…"

"I bet she is just sleeping." Johan whispers, feeling something weird inside, it was like when he had been possessed by Yubel, just that it was longer inside… like it was something that was supposed to be there. "Ngh… Judai… Do you have a terrible headache?"

"No… are you sure you are ok Johan? You look death pale." Judai whispers, not able to fall asleep when he was afraid that Johan wasn't feeling well. "Johan… your eyes are red."

"What… do you mean?" Johan stammers, trying to look for any mirrors in the room, soon finding one, red eyes glowing against him. "What… happened to me?"

"You had a seizure." Judai whispers, moving his hand up to the shivering Johan, brushing his cheek gently. "Don't worry Johan, everything is alright, it makes you look more mysterious."

Johan goes from a state of shock, to a strange feeling of calm. His Judai would always be with him, no matter what happened to him.

"Judai…" Johan whispers, clutching desperate to his lover. "Judai… I love you so much, so much…"

"I know Johan, I love you too." Judai whispers, laying his arms gently around the shivering Johan. "You are the kindest person in the world, and you will always be the only one for me."

Johan nods happy, falling completely to rest in Judai's embrace, the weird feeling inside him calming down a little.

"Hey, do you think we will really get married?" Johan asks, enjoying Judai's embrace.

"We might, I doubt we will return with the others, but I think the people here will enjoy a wedding." Judai laughs, starting to feel a little better again. "So, do you feel good enough to get up and look around? I really want to know where we are…"

"Ok." Johan laughs, and get slowly to his feet, helping Judai up afterwards, quickly catching him as he had been about to fall to the floor. "Hey, you aren't really ok are you?"

"I feel ok, but my body is a little numb." Judai whispers, Johan looking worried at him. Judai did look really tired, like he would collapse any minute. "Don't worry about me, I will be alright."

"Lean on my shoulder." Johan laughs, Judai nodding, letting Johan support him as they walked out of the room, looking around in the dark castle. "Weird, I have a feeling I have been here before…"

"Me too…" Judai stammers. Almost stumbling down the stairs as he had been about to look at some paintings in the main hall, but Johan grab him fast. "I… have really been here."

"Um, Judai… you should take a look at this." Johan stammers, using a flash light he had inside the communicator Misawa had given him. "This looks a lot like you…"

"That can't be me!" Judai whimpers, flailing desperate, as he looked at the picture of a female version of himself. She had long black hair, glowing yellow eyes, almost pearl white skin, and even thou her face were a little more mature and thinner, it was still a complete match for Haou Judai! "Wah! This is just a mean joke!"

"The guy beside you, that is Yubel isn't it?" Johan asks, looking at the person that stood behind the chair the woman sat on, short blue hair, and a sort of diamond on the forehead, and dark green eyes.

"Yeah it is." Judai says amazed, before he goes silent, looking at the confused Johan. "But how did you know how Yubel looked?"

"I have no idea… but look." Johan stammers, lighting at the other side of the painting. Judai looking confused at it… Johan! That had to be Johan! His hair was a little longer, and his eyes were different, more like they were when he was possessed by Yubel… just red. "This is just weird… I can understand you and Yubel being in the picture, why am I there too?"

"And why am I a girl?" Judai sobs, this was getting a little too much for him to take! "I have a feeling this isn't the first time we have met…?"

"Huh?" Johan asks confused.

"It was something we said when we met, that it wasn't the first time we met each other." Judai whispers, Johan nodding. "Could this have been where we met? A different life?"

"I think there is a label under the picture…" Johan whispers, blowing some dust off the golden plate under the picture. "From the right, Count Yubel, Haou Judai and her brother, Johan Yuki…"

"Brother?" Judai whispers, him and Johan looking confused at each other. "We were brother and sister in a different life?"

"Weird… I looked really scary too." Johan stammers, scratching the back of his head. "Um, guess this might be the reason I suddenly got red eyes…"

"I just hope I don't turn into a girl." Judai stammers, hiccupping as he thought of the horror.

"You might become cute…" Johan point out, before he looked at the picture again. "Or not, that Judai there looked really scary."

"The supreme king…" Judai whispers, looking over the pictures a lot of times. "What I remember from my last life, was that I were born with the power of the supreme king inside, I heard the story from my father the king, that a great warrior from long ago was Haou, and that was the same great spirit I was a rebirth off. No one really told me if it was a woman or a man…"

"I guess the king part should have made it obvious." Johan complains.

"Not in this county I think, men and woman can both be kings, and both can be looked at as Queens. If a woman is the first born of a king, she will be called king if she takes over, and if she marries a man he will be called Queen." Judai complains, Johan sweat dropping, so he would end up as a Queen? "It is really normal with men marrying men, so it is often the case of men becoming Queens, but it is so normal so no one will make fun of it."

"But if anyone from out world finds out they will make fun off me." Johan cries, and clutch to Judai, who patted him gently on the head. "Can't we switch roles? I can be the supreme king for you…"

"Johan…" Judai sighs, sweat dropping. "Let us try to look around a little more, there has to be some clues here."

"So, I look up here, and you check the first floor?" Johan starts, before he clutch to his head. Damned, what was wrong with him?

"Hey, Johan, are you feeling ok?" Judai asks worried, as Johan fell towards the wall, clutching to his head as the pain grew. "Johan!"

"I'm ok… just that my head feels like it is about to split!" Johan hiccups, falling to his knees, Judai running to him.

"Johan, you are ice cold…" Judai whispers, wrapping his arms around the shivering Johan. "I will find some blankets for you… just try to relax…"

Johan nods, leaning against the wall as he waited for Judai to come back. What was wrong with him? He had felt so weird for the last few days, he had no idea why, then after the last night, his entire body seemed to have gone to hell!

"Here." Judai whispers as he came back, wrapping the blankets gently around Johan, brushing his hair gently. "Don't worry, everything is going to be ok Johan… I'm here with you…"

"Judai…" Johan stammers, clutching shivering unto Judai as he sat down against the wall beside him. "I'm afraid… so afraid."

Judai looks worried at the almost crying Johan, he didn't know what to do! But he didn't want to see Johan like that! His dear Johan.

"It would be really weird wouldn't it?" Johan whispers after they had sit there in silence for a while.

"What would?" Judai asks, happy as the coldness started subduing.

"If we had been brothers… I would have gotten a real shock then." Johan laughs, Judai giving a gentle laugh, as Johan forced on his usual grin. "I think I am getting better now…"

"We'll get you back to bed for now then, we can look around later." Judai whispers, helping Johan to his feet, before they walked back to the bed room, Judai laying Johan down. "Let us sleep a little more, then we will look for a answer to everything."

"Ok…" Johan whispers, falling asleep once more, content in Judai's embrace.

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

Johan opens his eyes slowly, looking confused around in the darkness that had surrounded him. Where was he? Where was Judai!?

"Judai!? Are you here?!" Johan yells in panic, looking around for any sign of his lover. "Judai!!"

"Don't be afraid, Judai isn't here." Someone laughs, Johan turning confused, his eyes widening as he saw the form before him, a split image of himself.

"Who are you? You are the one that took us here aren't you?" Johan yell, grabbing for his deck, but it wasn't there. "What do you want?!"

"Who I am? What a stupid question!" He laughs, Johan backing away as he came closer. "I am you, we are the same being Johan… You have just been too strong for me… until now."

"What… do you mean?" Johan stammers, backing against a wall, not able to escape as the other side of him forced him against the wall. "What do you want?"

"I want the same as you Johan." He laughs, brushing the shivering Johan's cheek gently. "I want Judai to be ours forever, that is the same thing you want isn't it? You feel rage when others tries on him, Manjoume tried getting what was ours, and we protected our right, Yubel has invaded Judai's mind… we will tear Yubel away from our beautiful Judai."

"Our Judai…" Johan whispers, it was true, lately he had felt such a rage when anyone had been close to Judai, then when Manjoume had said he loved Judai, he had just snapped, Judai was his! No one else than he deserved Judai! "My Judai…"

"Yes, your Judai." The other laughs, leaning closer to Johan, before he seize his lips hard, the two alike entities becoming one. Johan giving a pleased smile as the darkness closed around him. "My Judai…"

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

Judai gives a content stretch, man, he felt so refreshed! He turn around in the bed, clutching confused to empty blankets, where was Johan?

"Johan? Are you here?" Judai asks confused, sitting up in the bed. The room was empty, where could Johan have gone? "Johan?"

"Rubii…"

Judai looks over at the pillows, where Ruby were lying, sobbing over something as winged Kuriboh tried to cheer him up.

"Ruby? What happened?" Judai asks worried, lifting him gently into his embrace.

"Johan told Ruby to keep away from him." Amethyst cat answers, Judai looking confused at the female cat animal, which were lying by the bed.

"What? Why would Johan do that?" Judai asks confused, getting up from the bed.

"Something is wrong with him, when he touched you something got transferred from him, you are ok, but it seems it might be dangerous for others." She whispers, Judai looking worried around.

"Yubel told us to keep away from him, since it was a ancient power that once had killed half of this world, and the supreme king." Pegasus whispers. "Johan don't want us to get hurt, so he won't be close to us… but it seems like you are immune… will you try to talk to him?"

"Of course." Judai whispers, and get up… walking slowly out of the room. "Johan!? Where are you?"

"I am here Judai."

Judai turns, as one of the doors opened, and he walks into the room it lead to, looking confused over the dinning room, red eyes glowing at him from the other side of the dinning table.

"You are the one that brought us here aren't you?" Judai asks, walking stern over to Johan, who nodded. He had to be careful, this wasn't the normal Johan, it looked like the Johan that was on the picture… "Why?"

"Why shouldn't I Judai?" Johan laughs, and get up from his seat, walking over to Judai, cupping his cheek gently. "This is our home, I brought you here to protect you from him…"

"Him?" Judai asks confused, looking into the crimson eyes, they looked cold, but still he could see the same love in them that Johan always looked at him with. Whatever this creature before him was, it was the same as he was the supreme king, two souls making up one complete being.

"Yubel… he didn't have enough with stealing you from me in two life times… he is trying to take you away from me now too! This time when I am reborn as someone that isn't related to you by blood… this time when I can be with you…" Johan whispers, the cold stare going over to a look of sadness and desperation. "But he got you before me again…before I could awake again… you let Yubel become a part of your soul."

"Johan…" Judai whispers, could it be, that the supreme king's brother had fallen in love with his sister? And lost her to Yubel? But, even thou he had let Yubel into his soul… the one he loved was Johan! "I love Yubel! But I love you a lot more Johan! As long as you are Johan, you are the only one for me!"

"Judai… I am so happy." Johan whispers, some of the coldness disappearing from his face, as he wrapped his arms around Judai. "You have accepted me in this life time, I will never let you go again…"

"And I won't let you go either." Judai whispers, kissing Johan gently. "I have no memory of my life as the supreme king… but can you tell me about it?"

"I'll make you remember it all, my beautiful Judai." Johan whispers, Judai giving a cry, as a coldness spread out from Johan, soon taking his body over, as he fell into a trance. "Don't worry, everything will be like it was before… Judai."

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

'"Hey! Wake up big brother! Wake up!" The young girl whimpers, shaking her sleeping big brother with all her might. "You promised to play with me today!"

"I'm awake…" The tired Count sighs, sitting up as his baby sister jumped unto his lap, and he nuzzled her hair gently. "So, what are we going to play today?"

"I want to play with cards again, it was so fun!" She giggles, and hug unto Ruby that flew up between them. "Hello Ruby, did you make sure that big brother got early to bed again?"

"Rubii!!" Ruby complains, pouting towards Johan, who laughed a little amused.

"Big brother, you have to start getting to bed early! It isn't weird that I have to yell for hours before you wake up!" Judai complains, looking pouting at her brother. "I love you big brother."

"And I love you too." Johan laughs, and hug his sister gently. "I will always do."'

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

'"But why are my sister the one chosen?" Johan yells furious, looking at his younger sister, who looked empty into the air, her eyes glowing yellow. "She is no warrior… my poor sister has never been able to do anything without me! How do you expect her to fight armies?!"

"We do not know, we only know that she is born with great powers inside her, and because of that she will be the supreme king." The druid chief whispers, lifting the teenage girl gently up from her bed. "She will come with us, to get the right up bringing."

"She is staying here with me!" Johan yell furious, trying to stop the druids, before it was too late, and his sister disappeared before his eyes… leaving him half mad…'

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

'Judai gives a tired sigh, looking over the empty throne room, how long had she been the supreme king now? Hundreds of years did it seem since she had become the supreme king, none of her past memories remaining at all. She just knew… that she had lost someone dear to her. Someone she still longed to be with… deep in her heart, or what was left of it.

"Hey, are you feeling down Judai?" Someone laughs, Judai turning away as the one she called her right hand decided to drop in from the window.

"Shut up Yubel, I'm not in the mood to entertain you right now." She complains, and get up form the throne. "I am bored, I am hungry and I have a headache, just like I usually have when you decided to sneak into the castle."

"I love you too." Yubel laughs, wrapping his arms gently around the groaning woman. "We are engaged aren't we?"

"Only in your own mind Yubel." Judai complains, hitting her arm hard at his stomach as he had been about to give her a kiss. "I am going to get some dinner… see you later."
"Wah! You are only mean!" Yubel complains, not seeing the gentle smile Judai hid, her dear stupid Yubel.'

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

'"What do you mean with you can't stop him?!" Yubel yell furious, running trough the castle as the doors got rapidly closed around them.

"We can't touch him! The ones that does dies!" The royal guards yells in panic. "He is heading for the king's room! We can't let him come near the king!"

Yubel looks terrified at the black liquid that covered the floor before his dear Judai's chamber.

"The guards are already dead…" Yubel whispers, before he tear open the door to Judai's bed room, looking terrified at the empty room. "Judai!"'

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

"Judai!" The blue haired boy cries out, sitting up on the floor, looking confused around… why was he there? He had been with Judai in the bed. No, he had met Judai in the dining hall, and he had talked about something he had no idea where he had gotten from! About a past life, and that Judai was his sister! Wah! What the hell had gotten over him?!

"Ngh… Johan…" Someone groans, Johan looking at the form before him on the ground.

"Judai!" He yell, and crawl over to his lover, brushing his cheek gently, he seemed a little out of it, he kept tossing around like crazy. "Hey, are you feeling ok?"

No answer, Judai's empty yellow eyes focusing on something so far away from Johan.

"Judai…" Johan hiccups, wrapping his arms gently around him, holding him close as the seizures continued. "I'm here with you, don't be afraid… everything is going to be alright."

"Niisama…" Judai whispers, Johan just looking confused at him. Niisama? Why would Judai call him that? And why did Judai seem slimmer than normal?

"I'll get you to a bed." Johan whispers gently, lifting the light Judai up from the floor, starting to walk back to the bed room. He had no idea what was happening, he was himself, yet he was someone else too, a being that had been the brother of the supreme king, a being that had loved someone he should never have loved, his own sister. But the worst thing was that the memories had started returning. He could see images from his past life now and again, one as Judai's brother, and the other as a young boy that was with Judai and Yubel the life that Yubel became a duel monster. "Judai… I am really afraid, what is happening to us?"

Johan clutch to his head, as the headache started again, more memories of his past lives flashing before him. Why did his past self have to be so different to how he was now?! He felt so afraid! He didn't want to become someone else!

"Rubii!"

Johan jump confused backwards, as the small creature jumped towards him, Johan's eyes widening in fear as Ruby hugged unto him.

"Wah! Ruby! Are you ok?!" Johan cries, shaking the confused animal hard. "I'm so sorry! Don't die!"

"Johan, relax, Ruby is ok." Sapphire Pegasus answers, he and the others looking sighing at the teary eyed Johan, who clutched hard to the crying Ruby. "It seems you can't hurt us… since we are your family."

"Everyone…" Johan hiccups, before he runs crying to them, hugging them with all his might, the gem beasts hugging back. "Wah! I am so sorry! I just didn't want to hurt any of you!!"

"We know Johan." Amethyst cat laughs, laying her paws gently over him. "We have always been by your side, in this life and the ones before, and no matter who you have been, you have loved us, just like you have loved Judai."

"So… I won't hurt any of you? And you will still be my family?" Johan hiccups, looking like the most miserable creature in existence.

"We will always be your family Johan." Topaz Tiger answers, patting Johan on the head with his paw. "But now you have to be with Judai, she needs you more than us now."

"She?" Johan asks confused, looking from the sighing gem beasts, to the thinner Judai. "Eh, I should have noticed that… right?"

"You have never been the greatest guy with girls, so we aren't really surprised." Cobalt eagle answers, Johan sitting down at Judai's bed side. "It seems by awakening the memories of the Haou, Judai has reverted back to that form for the moment."
"Will he turn back again?" Johan asks worried, brushing the delicate chin gently.

"After a while, since Judai of this time is the master of the body, his form will be the one that will come back in the end, he was a boy in two life times after all." Amethyst cat answers, Johan giving a relieved sigh. He thought Judai looked beautiful as a woman, but he preferred him as a boy, and he had a feeling Judai liked that better too. Even Haou Judai had wanted to be born a boy, she had been a real macho.

"Ngh… Johan?"

Bright yellow eyes opens, Johan giving a relieved sigh as he took a gentle hold of her hands.

"I'm here Judai, everything will be alright." Johan whispers, brushing her cheek gently. "How is your memories? You remember all life times or just one?"
"I… it is a little blurry, I remember my present life completely… but just half of the two others." Judai whispers, looking confused down at herself, before she looks nervous up at the worried Johan. "Am I still dreaming? Or have I become a girl?"
"It is only for a little while, it seems you have gone back to your Haou body…" Johan stammers, laying his arms gently around her as she sat up. "I guess we should stay here until it is over then… or what?"

"I think that is a really good idea too." Judai hiccups, it felt weird, but it was a feeling she had had before, so she should be able to cope with it. "I need some clothes… do you think my old clothes is still in this place?"

Johan looks down at Judai, it seemed her old clothes wasn't small enough, it seemed like she had stolen clothes from one twice the size.

"I'll go and find some clothes for you." Johan answers, kissing her cheek gently, before he got up, walking to the closet, opening curious. "Hm, seems this was your room alright, or I had a really crazy past."

"Something I can use there?" Judai asks, sitting up more as she tried to see what clothes were in there, giving a sigh as her jacket almost fell off her.

"You would look so cute in this!" Johan cheers, the eager Kuriboh nodding beside him, as he help up a nightgown.

"I am going up from bed, not into it again Johan." Judai complains, coming over to him, giving a new sigh as her pants fell down. "Wah! Isn't there something close to my own clothes there?"

"Sorry, it seems you had a more feminine taste before." Johan sighs, holding up a few dresses, all of them either black or dark blue. "So, classy or daring? That is the thing you have to figure out."

"I like that one." Judai answers, taking a Lolita dress, black and white, with black frills. "If I have to be in this body for a while I want to try something new."

"You will look really adorable in that." Johan laughs, finding the shoes that seem to belong together with the dress. "You want me to go out while you get dressed?"

"Why?" Judai asks confused, starting to strip down before the sighing Johan, he should have known that Judai didn't own any delicacy, no matter what body or time her mind was in.

"Nothing, I'll help you with the back." Johan sighs, getting the zipper as Judai had pulled the dress on. "There, you look adorable!"

"It feels a little weird, but I have a feeling it is normal." Judai whispers, holding her feet up as Johan sat down to before her to get the shoes on. "Even this place is starting to feel normal now… even the fact that you are a little different seems normal."

"Don't worry about it Judai." Johan laughs, as he got up again, wrapping his arms gently around her, crimson red eyes meeting deep yellow. "Even if I start remembering about the past… I will still remain in this one lifetime for you…"

"I like the cheerful Johan best." Judai laughs gently, before she gives a grin, pulling the confused Johan with her out of the room. "If I have to change, you have too!"

"Why?" Johan asks confused, before he looked down at himself, damn… he hadn't noticed how tight his clothes had become… it seemed he had been taller in the past and more muscles too. "Ok… I have to change too."

"I'll find something for you! Then we can match!" Judai cheers, running over to the closet in Johan's room, looking curious over the clothes, wow, the past Johan must have been a real tight guy. All those clothes seemed like something a rich spoiled guy used… "Wah! I can't find anything!"

"I like this one." Johan says, pulling out a black shirt like the one he used normally, a black vest, and black pants that followed with. "Since it is black we match, and it isn't so long from what I normally use."

"Ok." Judai laughs, before she watch Johan change, he really had more muscles than usual, he looked really hot. "In these bodies… we are brother and sister, right?"

"Yeah, I think so." Johan sighs, taking a gentle hold of Judai's hand as he had changed. "I feel like a total pervert for some reason, loving my sister…"

"Don't worry about it Johan, I love you too, then we are both equally to blame." Judai laughs, and wrap her arms gently around Johan. "No matter what, we will be together, forever and ever."

Johan nods happy, just holding unto his dear Judai, all the new awakened darkness inside him starting to calm down, as he had his loved one by his side.

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

"You know where Johan took Judai?" Manjoume asks, looking at the weak Yubel, who tried her best to keep from fainting again. Since she had been one with Judai for so long, she wasn't killed by the virus, but she felt like shit! "Will he be ok?"

"I think Judai is immune to the virus." Yubel whispers, looking over the worried gang.

"But, why is Johan carrying a virus?" Asuka asks.

"It is a curse placed in his body from his past life." Yubel whispers, the other looking confused at her. "A person that the people believed didn't deserve love, so they cursed him to never be able to hold a loved one."

"Could Johan really have been such a terrible person?" Mimiko hiccups, Yubel nodding.

"He lost his sister when she was ten, and after that he lost all feeling of love and compassion, but he found her again after hundreds of years, and because of the family bond, he could touch her." Yubel whispers. "She was the only love in his life, and also the only one he knew he shouldn't be with."

"So he didn't love Judai in that life time?" Manjoume asks, if he was lucky, they could find the rebirth of his sister and then he could have Judai!

"Oh, he did…" Yubel sighs, laying back in the bed as her body started failing her. "That life time was when the legend of the supreme king started, and if you trace the stories back a long way, you will find out that the supreme king was a woman."

"But… then… Judai was a woman in his past life?!" Misawa almost screech out, Manjoume turning red, he usually liked girls, it was just Judai that had been an exception, but if Judai had been a girl, all his sexual fantasies would double!

"Yes, and he was Johan's sister." Yubel whispers, before she hold her hand up, a image of a old castle appearing. "This is the castle they were both born and raised in, Johan probably took Judai with him there…"

"That is the old castle that no one dares venture to." Tsukasa whispers, Misawa looking confused at her. "It is quite a bit from here, maybe a week on foot, but only two days on horse if you know the way."

"Will you show us the way then?" Ryoga asks, Tsukasa nodding, she would do anything if it could save her kind lord. But she just couldn't imagine Johan hurting Judai, they had seemed so happy together! "Can we get going right away? I don't want to think about Judai alone with someone said to not have feelings for others."

"He won't hurt Judai." Yubel whispers, before she started falling unconscious again. "He would never care for others, but if just Judai showed one sign of being in pain, he would do all he could to find out what was wrong, and if Judai told him to be nice, he would do it in a blink. He does everything Judai asks of him…"

"So, Judai isn't in any danger at all?" Mimiko asks, Yubel shaking her head.

"But just to warn all of you, if Judai isn't awake to protect you when you arrive, you are the ones in danger, and no matter what, don't touch Johan, you will dissolve where you stand, even if Johan is himself or not."

"But, you said that the virus killed the supreme king, how could it that if she was immune too it?" Misawa asks curious, this virus intrigued him, he should try to make a serum, if Johan himself had it, it was their duty as friends to cure him.

"She passed her immunity on…" Yubel answers, looking sad as she drifted from them. "She died in childbirth."

Complete silence, Mimiko stopping her father from tripping out completely, while Manjoume retreated to a corner to cry.

"I guess the father was Johan then." Misawa whispers, almost getting tackled by Manjoume and Asuka for being the one saying it out loud. "If the supreme king was anything like the Judai we have now, she would have known that the kid would be born with the virus, never being allowed to hold a loved one close, so she sent her own immunity over, and the split second the shield on herself was sent to the infant, she would die from the virus herself, allowing the baby to be born safe."

"But… they were brother and sister!" Ryoga screeches out, as Mimiko hold him in place as he had marched back and forth over the floor. "Judai should have known better."

"Love does make blind." Taniya sighs, giving a smile to her husband. "And according to Yubel, they hadn't seen each other for hundred of years, after such a long time, I guess family feelings can pass."

"She must have looked at her brother as any other man." Asuka whispers, she was lucky that she would never get into that problem, her brother was an idiot she would never in her life fall for! "And if she was the only he could touch… she would be the only one for him, no matter what."

"Sensei!"

All of them turns, as the door opens, one of the head students under Misawa coming running in.

"Toro, what is wrong?" Misawa asks, as the youth tried to catch his breath.

"We have a link to the other world again. They want to talk to you." He pants, all of them making their way to the research room under the castle.

"Professor, what is the problem?" Misawa asks, as the professor appeared on the screen before them.

"We have been able to arrange the transporter again, we can send all of you trough any time that you are ready, the chancellor has gotten everyone at school to duel all they manage to get all of you home in one safe trip." He laughs, before he gives a grunt, someone pushing him away from the screen.

"Aniki! Are you there?" Sho almost cries. "I am so sorry that I couldn't come, I wanted to, but big brother has been so sick lately!"

"Hey! Judai! Me and Karen is waiting here to greet you the moment you return!" Jim cheers, holding the crocodile up before the screen, Ryoga taking a few steps backwards, did his son have more weird friends?

"You better be ready for a new duel with me." Kaiser laughs, as Jim had pulled Karen away, Sho trying to get his brother back into the wheelchair. "I have made a new deck, planning to use it against the supreme king this time, so be ready."

"And I have some new destiny heroes I want to show you close up in a duel." Edo laughs, pushing the confused Kaiser away, before Kenzan and Rei push him away.

"Come back! Judai Aniki!" Kenzan cheers.

"Come back! Judai-sama!" Rei cheers, before all of them waited for answers from the other side.

"I am sorry everyone, we can't leave yet." Manjoume whispers, the other looking confused at them. "Judai isn't here, neither is Johan."

"Wah! But you came there to get Aniki back! Haven't you found him?!" Sho cries.

"We found him, but it seems Johan is an ancient evil at this place, and he has kidnapped Judai back to his own castle to make him his bride or something." Asuka answers, the other side going silent. "Hard to believe, I know…"

"Professor, keep the students duelling." Edo says, getting help from Kaiser to try to figure out the controls, Kenzan and Rei getting everyone's duel disks unto the transporter. "Ok! Here we go!"

"What the hell are they doing?" Manjoume complains, before he gives a shriek, as Rei fell over him. "This is why I don't like you!"

"I don't like you either!" Rei complains, moving away as Kenzan and the others came falling, Manjoume soon just a crashed image of his former self. "Ok! We are here to save Judai-sama! Let us get going!"

"Um, I don't think the power of numbers will help us get him faster back." Manjoume points out, sweat dropping as everyone was marching off to look. "Hey! Wait for me!"

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

"I still think it is weird." Judai complains, looking over at Johan, who sat at the other side of the dinner table. "I mean, what are the odds that the food here could have lasted for over thousands of years? And still be edible?"

"The time in this castle stands still when it is empty." Johan answers, taking a zip of the cup of blood, shedding a few tears. "I don't think I will get used to this…"

"I had the same problem." Judai point out, poor Johan, he might like the supreme king have been a vampire before, but the kind hearted Johan she knew wasn't that sort of person. "But, I think the reason I am immune to the curse surrounding you, is because I drank blood from you before, if it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have been able to touch you either."
"The at least something good has come out of it." Johan laughs, before he chunk the blood down in one turn, almost cocking on it, Judai coming over to hit him on the back. "Wah! I don't like drinking blood! It makes me feel evil!"
"Don't worry." Judai laughs gently, wrapping her arms around him, leading his head to her neck. "Why not drink from me?"

"No, then I will feel twice as evil!" Johan complains, Judai giving a tired sigh, before she pulled a chair to sit beside Johan, filling the cup with blood again, before she drink a little of it herself, leaning closer to the blushing Johan, kissing him gently, letting the blood pass trough the kiss, Johan not really caring about it as he felt the warm lips against his own. "I can live with this kind of feeding."

"I thought so." Judai giggles, before she leans down again, letting the blood drip down before she entered the kiss, this time allowing it to last longer, until both of them was out of air. "Tell me when you have gotten enough."

"I think I need a few more kisses from you." Johan laughs, wrapping his arms around her as he pulled her closer, just enjoying the closeness from his loved one. "We have to get back to the others don't we?"

"Yeah, it is cosy here with you Johan, but the others will be worried for us." Judai whispers, looking a little sad down at Johan, she really missed the always so kind green eyes. Johan himself was the same, but his body wasn't, and she could feel a darkness from him all the time. But for some reason, she couldn't abandon him, even if it would go against everything a lord should do. "Don't be afraid, I will explain everything to them, so they won't hold it against you."

"I know, I just hope…" Johan starts, but he stop the sentence. He couldn't tell Judai how he felt, he wasn't proud of it, but he felt such a hate towards everyone else than Judai. He hated that feeling! It wasn't him at all! "No, there is nothing."

"I know." Judai whispers, wrapping her arms around the confused Johan. "The Johan I love, is a kind person, who loves everyone, and would never hurt anyone."

"I… am on my way to go a little away from being that Johan aren't I?" Johan hiccups, hiding his face against Judai's chest. "What will I do? If I end up as another Johan, and loose your love?"

"No matter what Johan you are, it won't matter for me, since I love you no matter what, but I will be happiest if you try to remain the Johan I fell in love in this lifetime, the Johan that want's to build a world for both humans and duel monsters." Judai laughs, nuzzling his hair gently.

"No wonder I dreamt of that world, it is this isn't it?" Johan laughs, Judai nodding. "But, I don't want to change! I want to stay like I was!"

"Johan…" Judai whispers, looking at the crying Johan.

"I have never had feelings like this… jealousy, hate… and desire, it isn't me at all! And no matter who I am becoming, I don't want to become that person!" Johan yell, Judai brushing his hair gently. "I want to be myself… tell me I can keep staying as I have always been, please…"

"As long as you wish for it, you will always be that Johan." Judai whispers, giving him a loving kiss. "My Johan."

Johan gives a happy smile, the two of them just enjoying the moment they had together, they weren't brother and sister, and more than lovers, they were best friends, and soul mates.

"Rubii!"

"Kuri!"

Both of them turns confused, as the two creatures came flying towards them.

"Ruby, what is it?" Johan asks, as Ruby started pulling at his sleeve, Kuriboh pulling at Judai's sleeve. "Um, there is something we have to see?"

"Rubii!!" Ruby answers, Johan giving a sigh, as he and Judai was pulled away by the eager duel monsters.

"What is this?" Judai asks confused, looking over the crowded room, all their duel monsters seeming to be in the middle of a party, some of them trying to start as a band. "Minna…"

"This is a party for the two of you." Aqua dolphin laughs, and push the two of them towards the dance floor, feeling Johan tense as he was touched. "Be not afraid Johan, your curse does not work against anything else than humans, duel spirits will always be immune to it."

"Thank God." Johan sighs, before he blush, as Ruby and Kuriboh placed his arms around the blushing Judai. "Um, I can't dance."

"Me neither." Judai laughs, laying their hands together. "I guess we will have to learn it together then."

"Yeah." Johan laughs, trying to move like the ones around them as the music started, both of them laughing as they crashed into almost all that came close to them on the dance floor.

As long as they tried their best, they could stay unchanged together, for all the eternities they had left together.

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

"So this is the castle?" Kaiser asks, looking around as they entered the dark entrance hall. He really had never imagined that a cheerful guy like Johan could live in a place like that. "I guess we will have to look for them then."

"I guess they are in a bed room! And Johan is doing evil things to Aniki!" Sho cries in panic, Kaiser grabbing him as he had been about to charge of from the rest of them. "Aniki!"

"Hey, we don't even know if Johan is another Johan than the one we know." Jim complains, letting Karen down as it seemed she had sensed something. "Do you feel Judai? Karen?"

"Are we really going to take the directions from a crocodile?" Edo asks, giving a sigh as everyone nodded. "Ok then, show the way."

A good time of walking, before they came to one of the top towers, the eager Karen running unto the balcony, Jim and the others running confused after, looking at the wealthy dressed woman than sat on her knees before Karen, patting her on the head.

"Don't be afraid ma'am, Karen is as friendly as a puppy." Jim laughs, about to pull her up when he looked confused at the face of the woman before him, Judai giving a nervous laugh. She had known the others wouldn't take the change as good as her. "Judai?"

"Long time no see Jim, I think Karen has missed me." Judai laughs, the crocodile almost hugging unto her legs. "But I didn't think all of you would come for me…"

"Aniki!" Sho and Kenzan cries, charging for the confused Judai. "We missed you!"

"I missed you guys too." Judai laughs, letting them hug unto her, both of them crying their hearts out. "But how did you get here?"

"The professor has rebuild the transporter." Misawa answers, happy that his lord was ok, that world would fall apart if Judai disappeared. "If you don't return soon, who knows who will be sent after us."

"I'm really sorry guys, I decided to look at this as a vacation." Judai laughs, getting to her feet again, brushing some dust off the dress, the others starting to see the changes. "I thought people could get hurt if I came back like this."

"Wah! Big brother!" Mimiko cries, clutching hard to the confused Judai. "What happened to you? Are you ok?"

"I am ok." Judai laughs, and hug her gently. "I guess all of you are hungry, how about some dinner?"

"Are you making?" Edo asks a little nervous, blushing together with the rest as Judai gave a warm smile. Damn… he was not falling for Judai! It was a guy! Even thou he seemed to be a woman now, he was still his number one rival!

"Of course not, Burst lady and tinkle moss is doing the house work here." Judai laughs, the others sweet dropping as they saw the elemental heroes and neo-spacians run walk around in the castle halls, some just cleaning up, while the rest seemed to just relax, the gem beasts joining in with them. "It seems all of them really feels home at this place."

"Where is Johan then?" Sho asks, all of them looking a little nervous around.

"I think he is sleeping." Judai laughs, the others sweat dropping. "He tried to eat some of Neos' quick dinner, and he got hit out really bad for the evening."

"So Johan is himself?" Manjoume asks, Judai nodding. "Great, then I can pay him back for biting me, I never got a rabies shot, so if I get sick, it is all his fault."

"I wouldn't touch him if I were you, you might end up as a mass of black goo." Judai point out, the others jumping away as the door to the bed room beside them opened, a yawning Johan entering.

"Judai, what is all the racket about? Did Neos and Topaz tiger get into a fight again?" He yawns, before he sees everyone around them. "Oh, hey everyone."

"Wah! It is Johan!" Sho and Manjoume screams out, running to hide, as the confused Johan walked over to the laughing Judai.

"So, both of you are ok then?" Kaiser asks, both youths nodding. "Then I guess we can all head back to the lab and go home."

"Um, where is dad?" Judai asks confused, since Mimiko was there, she had expected her father to come too.

"He collapsed the moment we opened the door." Jim answers, supporting up the old man into the room as they walked to the living room. "To see his son as a girl has to be a shock for any old father."

"I really didn't think he would take it so hard." Judai stammers, trying to get contact with her father as Jim had supported him to a chair. "Dad, are you alright?"

"Judai, is that you?" the poor father asks, brushing the confused Judai's cheek gently. "You looked so much like your mother. I got a real shock…"

"Don't worry, I'll turn back to normal in no time." Judai laughs, patting her shivering father on the head. "Just a weird side effect."

"All the things an old man has to survive trough with you." Ryoga sighs, the others laughing as Judai seemed a little put out with that comment. "I'm just happy that everything is ok, we will all forget about all this, and get home now."
"You are right, I bet Tsukasa and the others are dead worried for me." Judai laughs. "I wonder is Yubel is throwing a fit again, the last time I went off without telling, she almost sent the guards after me."

"If I recall correctly, she did." Misawa complains, Judai giving a nervous laugh. "And I understand here, you have an official crowning to attend to, and you are nowhere to be found."

"I got restless!" Judai complains, Misawa just giving a tired sigh, even as a woman Judai was the same old. "Come on Johan! You are my fiancé! Back me up!"

"Come now angel, let us get going before you hurt someone or yourself." Johan sighs, laying his arm around the growling Judai, pulling her with him out of the castle, the others following after, most of them quite envious of the engaged couple.

"Big brother! If you continue to remain a woman, will you and Johan get kids then?" Mimiko asks curious, looking up at the two lovers, that both looked blushing at each other. "Yubel said that the supreme king got a kid with Johan… and died… I don't want that to happen to you… but it would be fun to become an aunt."

"I had a child with Judai?" Johan stammers, looking confused at Judai, who seemed far off, her eyes turning empty again, Johan catching her as she fell.

"Judai!" The others yell, but stop as Topaz tiger and Ruby came between them and the couple.

"She is ok." Johan whispers, lifting her gently up. "It is just that she is still trying to remember about her past life, she ends up with real space outs when it happens."

"So Judai is ok?" Sho stammers, Johan nodding. "I can carry her back to the lab!"

"We aren't going there." Johan whispers, laying Judai gently unto Topaz tiger's back. "She is a lord after all, what lord leaves her country when it needs her?"

"I'm with Johan." Misawa answers, walking over to them. "I am going to stay in this world, and I know Judai wants to too."

"And I will stay with Judai." Johan answers, smiling as he looked down at the sleeping Judai's face. "I don't need anyone else than Judai and the gem beasts."

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

'"But Judai, he is the enemy! He killed hundreds of humans in this world!" Yubel yell, looking at the silent Lord. "I know he is your brother, but that doesn't change all he has done!"

"Then I will take responsibility." Judai whispers, Yubel looking confused at her. "He haven't been himself for years, so as his sister, I will take responsibility for all he has done wrong!"

"But he has been placed under the death penalty!" Yubel yell desperate! He had never seen his Lord like this, Judai was always calm, and she always did what was right, to take sides with a murderer wasn't like her at all! "Even if you take the penalty for him, what makes you think he will revert from his old ways?"

"He is my brother, and if I ask him to behave, he will." Judai answers, giving a warm smile, that made Yubel shivers in rage. Judai had given him that smile before, no… it had been a smile close to that, but not nearly as loving! "I am going to be sure that Johan is ok after the ordeal you put him trough, no one is to bother me before the hearing tomorrow."

"As you wish, my lord." Yubel whispers, bowing before he watched Judai walk away from him. What had happened? He had been the one Judai always spent her time with before, now she just talked about Johan this and Johan that! She had even talked about staying at his castle for the summer!

"Oh, and Yubel! Try to get along with Johan, he will be your brother in law one day!" Judai yell, before she walked into the room Johan had gotten, Yubel giving a sigh, she had at least not forgotten about him. "Niisama, are you awake?"

"I'm awake." He answers, getting up from the bed to greet his sister. "What do you want?"

"Um, I think you have to work a little on your people skills big brother." Judai laughs, and sit down beside him on the bed. "If you say it like that you make it sound like you really don't want me to be here."

"Oh, I am sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that." Johan stutters forth, the evil malice around him fading as he started thinking he had made it sound like he didn't like his sister, he loved his sister! She was the only person he cared about in the entire world! Other than her and the duel monster spirits, everything should just perish! "I really want you to be here…"
"I know." She laughs gently, and take a gentle hold of his hands, Johan stiffening as he felt the unfamiliar warmth from another person, tears welling up in his eyes. "Why else would you cry when I touch you?"

"I have been so alone for hundred of years, I don't spend time with humans anymore." He whispers, laying Judai's hand against his cheek. "You are so warm, it is a feeling I can't feel anymore."

"I'll give you all the warmth you need." Judai whispers, wrapping her arms around her brother. She knew that she had been the lucky one of them, she hadn't remembered about him, but he had gone alone for hundreds of years and missed her, she would do all in her powers to make it up for him, her loved brother. "You will never be alone again, I promise."

"What about that Yubel guy? He seems to be really close to you." Johan whispers, remembering the guy that had come first to save Judai from his castle, the man that had called her by her name instead of calling her Lord.

"Yubel is my best friend and fiancé." Judai laughs, brushing Johan's hair gently as he had laid his head down on her lap. "We grew up in this castle together, he is the Count of the third border castle."

"So he is my neighbour?" Johan asks, not liking the thought of anyone taking away his sister from him again.

"Yeah, weird you haven't met before." Judai laughs, just smiling content together with her brother. She hadn't allowed herself to show that side of her for anyone since she learned what her duty as the Haou was, but for Johan it was ok. "I can't say I have missed you, since they erased all my memories of you, but… after remembering you, all I could think off was to keep you safe."
"Why did they erase your memories of me?" Johan whispers, starting to relax.

"Because I got a breakdown, when I woke up and you weren't there after they took me away, I didn't eat, I didn't drink, and I wouldn't move from my bed, so the only solution they could think about, was to erase you from my mind." Judai whispers, Johan nodding understanding. It had been the same feeling he had bore, just that he hadn't been able to erase it, he was happy that his dear Judai had been, he would never have wanted her to live in the same madness as him. "Do you still have Ruby? And the others? I have missed them."

"They are back at the castle, I don't bring them so much when I am duelling anymore." Johan whispers, looking ashamed down. "Since I love them too much to allow them to become like me."

"Don't be afraid, I will come with you back to the castle, and you will put all of them back into your deck, and I will be sure that you never hurt anyone again." Judai whispers, giving Johan a gentle kiss on the cheek, Johan blushing confused. "I want you to be my bodyguard Johan, I ask you as a warrior, not as my brother. I know you are the strongest in this world after me, you won against my strongest general Yubel, and I want you to stay by my side for the rest of my life."

"I'll be your bodyguard." Johan whispers without hesitation, brushing her cheek gently, she was an angel still in his eyes, just like she had been as young. "I'll give my life before I let anyone even lay their hand on you."

"Then I will feel safe." Judai laughs gently, both of them just smiling happy over being together again, everything else feeling so far away.'

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

"I mean we just drug Johan, and then pull both him and Judai with us back to our world." Manjoume complains, looking at the bed where Judai were resting, Johan the watchdog sitting in a chair by her side, lying drooling over her side together with Ruby and Winged Kuriboh.

"But we can't touch him." Kaiser point out, the spirit in the room dropping again. "I don't like to say it, but it seems Judai does belong in this world, he might be born in ours, but if it is true as you said, then he can't exist in outs without destroying it."

"And Judai is the kind of guy that likes to help people." Edo laughs, looking out of the window in the castle, Tsukasa playing with some of the children that lived in the castle together with the servants. "This place has changed after he as the Haou took over, he makes a difference here, he makes the people happy."

"I know but…" Manjoume complains, trying to get help from the others. "…I still think he should be in out world! That is the only world I can have the chance of beating him again one day!"

"I really want to bring Aniki back." Sho whispers, looking over at the now peaceful Judai, Johan holding her hand gently. "But if he wants to stay here, there is nothing we can do at all, and it seems like we can at least visit when we want to."

"But I have no plan that involves letting my 20 year old son stay back in such a dangerous world!" Ryoga complains, startling everyone as he got up from the chair he had been in, Mimiko stumbling to the floor as she had been sitting on his lap. "It might be ok now! But what if something bad happens here? I bet even a world like this has wars, I don't want my son to go trough stuff like that!"

"But he is strong enough for it." Kaiser says, not avoiding the gaze of the furious father. "I haven't duelled him for real for years, but I have seen him duel when he is serious, and if that is what goes as war in this world, it is in the safest hands."

"But, but…" Ryoga stammers, trying to find something to counter what the man known as Hell Kaiser said. "I promised Yoko I would bring both our kids back, she will be so heartbroken if Judai disappears again."

"Mommy will understand." Mimiko whispers, hugging her father gently. "Just say it as it is, you don't want to loose big brother again…"

"I really don't have as much fun as when I torment him about having to grow up." Ryoga laughs, hiding his face against his daughter's neck, feeling the tears run in streams. "But he has really grown up haven't he? I don't think there is anything I can do for him anymore, and that makes me feel really sad, but proud too."

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

'Johan gives a yawn, looking over the room as he had decided to get up, a smile moving across his face as he saw the sleeping form sitting in the chair by his bed. He was really a lucky guy, to have such a beautiful sister.

"Are you awake Judai?" He whispers, and brush her cheek gently.

"Sleep more." Judai complains, as she tries to find a position she could get some sleep in again, before Johan notice that she seemed to have some pain in her back after sleeping in a chair for the night.

"Come here, you'll just get a sore back by lying over a chair." Johan whispers, pulling her easy into the bed, laying the extra blankets over her. "There, now you can sleep."

"Niisama." Judai giggles and lay her head against his chest, before Johan wraps his arms gently around her. "We used to lay like this a lot didn't we? When I was young?"

"All the time, you only wanted to sleep in my bed, since you couldn't sleep at all alone." Johan whispers, brushing her hair gently, as he remembered back to the time without her, he had laid awake each night, thinking about how she had it, if she was able to sleep when he wasn't there. "I think it will take some time before I get used to having you back, it still feels like a dream."

"But I am no dream." Judai laughs gently, and lay her arms around him, nuzzling their noses gently together. "And now we sleep, then we can bother Yubel tomorrow."

"Ok." Johan whispers, before he falls slowly asleep, clutching happy to his sister, everything was ok now, and he would never let his sister go again.

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

"You two got into a fight again?" Judai asks confused, looking at the two men in her life, Yubel trying to get up from the ground again, only his sword as support, while Johan only had a few scratches after the fight.

"I am going to win! And I will become your bodyguard again!" Yubel yells furious, about to get up again, but Johan moved too fast, Yubel falling to the ground as his sword broke. "I will win one day, I will!"

"Yubel." Judai whispers, and run over to him, supporting him up. "Don't think so much about it, I am safe with Johan, and you are my top general, I need your strength for protecting the people."

"But I give a damn about the people! I want to protect you!" Yubel yell, before he pull away from the sad Judai. "You are the one who is going to be my wife! I will be the one to protect you! All my pride as your fiancé and as the man that loves you tells me that."

"Stop being so silly." Judai whispers, brushing the growling Yubel's hair gently, Yubel relaxing a little again. "And what the manly pride involves, you couldn't even beat me."

"Come on… let me at least forget about that." Yubel stammers, blushing as Judai smiled to him, before she got up again, and walked over to Johan, who were busy cleaning the wounds on his arm.

"And what excuse do you have?" Judai asks, tearing off the side of her cape to use it as a bandage for her brother. "You could have stepped down you know? You are supposed to protect me from enemies, not pick fights inside the castle garden."

"I'm sorry." Johan whispers, smiling gently to his sister. "I went to the town to get a gift for you, it is your birthday today."

"I forgot about that!" Judai laughs, as Johan started to look a little nervous, ravelling trough his pockets as he wondered if the gift was good enough. "You really bought me something?"

"I'll give it to you later." Johan stammers, beat red by now, Yubel growling from the side line, he hadn't known when Judai had birthday, only Johan and the elders knew that. "It really isn't much, but I know it looks like something you wanted before…"

"I bet it is something wonderful." Judai laughs, before she takes a hold of both Johan and Yubel's arm. "Let us get back inside now, I think the dinner is ready soon."

"Talk about only thinking about dinner." Yubel mock, as they were pulled inside.

Yubel trying to think of what he should find for Judai's birthday present, he still owed her a proper engagement ring, the one she had now was just something he had found for her when they were young. They hadn't decided for themselves to get engaged, it was a rule in that land, that the supreme king was to marry one of the three other Lords, one was her brother, the other was a woman, so the only one she could marry was Yubel, that was why they had grown up so close.

He knew Judai loved him, but not as much as he loved her, that was why he was afraid to loose her, if she ever found someone she loved more than she loved him.

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

"Come on, why are you so nervous?" Judai giggles, as Johan still tried to hand her the gift.

"I am a little afraid that you won't like it." Johan stammers, handing her a little box. "I know you wanted it when you were young, but it might be too much of me to hope you haven't grown from it."

Judai opens the box slowly, looking at the cloth that covered a card, and she opens it slowly, looking big eyed at the Winged Kuriboh card.

"I couldn't find Kuriboh, but I found Winged Kuriboh." Johan whispers, taking the box as Judai took the Kuriboh up with shivering hands.

"I can't believe you remembered it after all these years…" Judai stammers, Johan going over to a state of panic as she started sobbing. "Kuriboh has always been my favourite, but I could never find one…"

"It will protect you when I am not there." Johan whispers, giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead, before the winged Kuriboh appeared between them, flying around with the laughing Ruby. "Heh, seems he really likes you, appearing for you and all."

"Thank you Johan, this is the greatest gift!" Judai laughs, hugging Kuriboh happy. "How did you find him?"

"Ruby found him, seems they are best friends now." Johan laughs, both of them watching as the two monsters flew off together. Judai about to run off to follow them, when she stumbled over something on the floor, and both of them smash down in the bed. "Are you ok?"

"I'm ok…" Judai stammers, blushing confused. She had been close to men before, why did she feel so weird now, and with her own brother even?

"You are blushing." Johan stammers, brushing her cheek gently. She looked so beautiful, his adorable baby sister, the only woman he had touched in his life, and the only one he could ever touch. "You are so adorable."

Judai blush more, as Johan kissed her gently on the lips, all reason leaving both of them as the kiss deepened, the two duel monsters watching curious from the side line, happy as their masters seemed to get along fine.

"I'm sorry." Johan stammers, as he had been able to roll them around, looking embarrassed down at his sister. "I shouldn't have done that… I'm your big brother and all."
"I know…" Judai whispers, not able to stop blushing even now. "It is my first real kiss."

"Ah! I am sorry! I didn't mean to steal your first kiss!" Johan stammers, going over to a state of panic once more. What sort of big brother did that to his sister? Was he that sick!

"It is really weird isn't it?" Judai whispers, brushing Johan's cheeks gently as they rested their foreheads together. "After we met again, I have tried so hard to think of you as my big brother, but I just can't, I don't know why, but I keep falling for you."

"Judai…" Johan whispers, before he lean down, and kiss her gently on the lips once more, both of them lingering over the warmness, "I have the same feeling."

"If we hadn't been brother and sister, I would have chosen you in a heartbeat." Judai whispers, wrapping her arms around Johan, feeling the tears start to fall. "But I still love Yubel too, not as much as I love you, but I don't want him to be sad! I know that he loves me as much as you do."

"Hey, maybe we will be born together again in another life time, and we might not be brother and sister." Johan laughs, feeling her tears run over his cheek. He hated it! He hated to see Judai sad! He just wanted to see her smile and be happy all the time. "Don't worry, I will do all I can to make you happy, I'll even be nice to that guy for you, just don't cry, I will do anything for you, my own little angel."
