Disclaimer: I don't own Yugi-Oh or Inuyasha!
AN: Fic is for DarkAngel048. My first Kag/Atem (a.k.a Yami Yugi) pairing. May I say, Wow! Thank you all for the reviews. Thank you all!
Last Time: They didn't want to mess it up now just to help Tristan spy on her and Kagome told him no, they weren't doing it. He pled a little but they stood firm. He decided that he was going to do it himself and they wished him luck in his failing endeavor.
Several days had past and it was finally the first weekend of their first week of school at Domino High. Atem and Kagome were very pleased with how their first week went, only for different reasons.
Atem's was because he got to see Kagome become jealous and run girls away from him, even a young teacher. He didn't know he was that magnetic to the opposite sex but he was. Kagome told him it was the tight pants and the hair. He didn't really care what it was but he appreciated her placing a claim on him and making it known to everyone.
While Kagomes' was because of Tea and Mizuki. She and Tea were still akward but they talked. It turns out that Bakura had a thing for Tea and had taken complete advantage. They had ran into each other after she had left that day and ended up talking and talking and talking. He told her that he had liked her and for years but had bnever been given the chance. Tea gave him the chance and it seemed to be going great.
Then there was Mizuki. Lunches were spent at school watching her and Tristan going at it. He was bound and determined to find out who she was working for but she was not giving it up. He was worried about her, for him it was strange that she was working for someone that she had never met and was not allowed to give out the names of her employer or the brother that she tutored.
He would pester the living daylights out her to try and get her to talk. Because he was staying with her, she had to find solitude somewhere and that somewhere happened to be in Kagomes' bedroom; where the two currently were while Atem was double checking Kagomes' math homework, she needed all the help she could get by the way she saw it.
(Kagome & Mizuki)
"He is driving me crazy!" Mizuki seethed.
"I know. But he is just doing what he thinks is best. He is like every other man in the world. They think it is their job to protect the women of their families from the outside men." Kagome said.
"Yeah and before I know it, he'll try pissing on me to mark his territory." Mizuki mocked.
Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the imagery that popped into her head. Tristan pissing on Mizuki and then her beating the crap out of him. The peals of laughter were loud and gleeful and Mizukis' soon joined hers.
"Oh, Kami, the picture in my head of Tristan... it was too funny." Kagome choked out.
"I know. I had a thought of the same. I couldn't help but think that. He is bound and determined to find out who I work for." she said.
"Yeah. I can see why. It is strange that you haven't met your employer yet, just his little brother. Why?" Kagome asked.
"He is very busy. He has a company to run and can't always have his brother with him to help him study. So I am working with him while he is gone." Mizuki said with a shrug.
"Oh, have you told Tristan that?" she said.
"Yeah but he wants names." Mizuki said.
"Then keep on doing what you're doing. Except maybe you should take a wok after the boy and smack him up side the head a couple of times." Kagome suggested.
"That's not a bad idea. I think I'll do that." Mizuki mused.
"You should, it does wonders knocking them in the head. I could make you some subjugation beads for Tristan." Kagome said.
"It does? You can?" Mizuki asked.
"Yes, I used to sit Inuyasha with a set of subjugation beads and it set him straight. I can make you a set. Kaede taught me how to make them for human, hanyou, and demon. It was the best thing she ever taught me to use my kei for." Kagome mused.
"Show me!" Mizuki said.
Kagome laughed and the two set about to find some beads. Kagome had a bag of them in a drawer and she showed Mizuki just how to do the signs and what to say. Then she let Mizuki try. But she wasn't going to let her put prayer beads on him just yet. She needed to practice or she would put beads on the wrong person.
"It took me several tries before I could get it right. I practiced here in this era and I accidentally stuck beads on my cat, Buyo. She was very unhappy with me." Kagome said with a light laugh.
Mizuki chuckled at the thought. But the thought of actually having a way of shutting Tristans' trap was very pleasing to her, so she really wanted to get t right the first time and not accidentally have them on Serenity or Kagome. Or worse accidentally put them on her boss's little brother. That would kill her reputation and she would probably never be able to find work again in Japan! It was better safe than sorry.
"Take my advice on this. Don't use them at school, threaten to use them on him, but don't. It is hard to make up excuses to people when they hear you say the word sit and then hear a thud." Kagome explained.
"Usage around people who don't have a clue is bad. Ok, got it. Does the word have to be sit?" Mizuki asked.
"No, it doesn't. I used sit because Inuyasha was a half dog demon. It seemed prudent. For Tristan you could use hold your tongue or something to that effect." she explained.
"How about zip it? He needs to learn to be quiet." Mizuki said and rolled her eyes.
Kagome smiled thinking of Inuyasha. All the times she wished she could have used a different command on him, especially one to get him to be quiet. But the sit command was quite effective.
"In a couple of days you should be ready to do the spell on your own." Kagome said.
"Would you watch in case I mess up?" Mizuki asked.
"Yeah. I'll help just in case." Kagome said.
The clock chimed and Mizuki glanced at her watch. It was time for her to go and begin her tutoring job. Also she was getting to meet her boss. For the first time she would actually get to meet him instead of talk to him over the phone or by emails.
"I got to go. Duty calls and I don't want to be late. Keep an eye on Tristan. If he tries to follow me give me a call or delay him. Please." Mizuki said and pulled on her shoes that she had discarded at the door.
"Sure. Just send him over when you return and leave after he is over here." Kagome suggested.
"Yeah, I'll do that." she replied and took off to her own apartment.
Atem had glanced up to see her go and to see Kagome shut the door behind her. He stretched and shook her paper at her. She gulped and came to look at the math paper. She took it and saw that it wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be. She guessed that since she could actually focus in class instead of the jewel her marks were going to improve drastically.
"What do you need my help for?" he asked her.
"I was so behind when I was searching for the jewel but I guess since I have nothing but the classes to focus on I can actually catch up." she said.
"All of your focus? Because you still missed four." he said.
"Fine not all of my focus! Damn floozies! Even the art teacher flirted with you. I have to keep my attention divided between shcool work and beating the hussies off. Sometimes I think you are more trouble than you are worth." she sniffed.
"I love you for it too. I think it would be best to get some pants that are as attractive to them and cut my hair." he said like an after thought.
"Don't you dare! I love your hair." Kagome said a bit horrified.
"Just my hair?" he asked.
"Well, I like the pants too." she whispered.
"I know. You stare sometimes." he said just to rub her nerves.
"I do not!" she gasped.
The blush that lit her cheeks made him smile. Sometimes it was so easy to get her to blush. Almost as easy as it was to rile her to be spitting mad.
"Yeah you do." he said and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Yeah, I do." she admitted and her blush deepened a shade.
He rested his forhead against hers. Staring into her eyes until she looked away. She looked right at his lips and he noticed right away. Deliberately slow he kissed her lips and she responded immediately. Drawing him to a more hungry pace and pressure. Hands began to move and sounds became non existant but one.
"Don't let me interrupt!" Tristan said suddenly.
Kagome jumped away from Atem to see Tristan backing out the door. She had to stop him, she promised to distract him for Mizuki.
"It's fine Tristan. Did Mizuki tell you that I needed you?" she asked improvising.
"Yeah she did but didn't tell me why." he said, unsure as to stay or leave with the scowl Atem was giving him.
"I need you to be my guinea pig. I have a new cookie recipe and I want someone to try it out." she said quickly.
It wasn't a complete lie. It wasn't a new recipe but it was one that she hadn't used before and she wasn't going to let him get away until Mizuki returned home.
"Why can't he be the guinea pig?" he asked looking at Atem.
"Because he will always tell me they are good even if he has to have his stomach pumped later. You will give me an answer regardless of my feelings because you aren't in love with me." she said.
"Ok, I'll do it." he said and shut the door behind him.
"I'll let you know when I need you." she said and disappeared into the kitchen.
When there was a clattering sound coming from the kitchen the guys spoke to each other.
"You have bad timing." Atem said.
"Heh, sorry about that. I wouldn't have come if Mizuki hadn't told me that Kagome needed my assistance." Tristan said sheepishly.
"You can be an idiot sometimes." Atem said under his breath.
"What?" Tristan asked not picking up on what he had said.
Atem rolled his eyes and went to the living room, Tristan behind him waiting to be called on.
(MIZUKI)
She had arrived at her destination and the whole time she was nervous about possibly seeing Tristan pop up in front of one of the windows. But after twenty minutes had passed and he didn't show, she relaxed completely and went about her lesson to Mokuba Kaiba.
The boy was remarkably bright but a bit behind in History and English. She had expected it to be either math or science but he had high marks for those subjects. The other two were rather low but he was catching up and fast. History wasn't hard for him to catch up in. He had a nack for remembering dates and times and places, names not so much but she had found a solution using numbers to help him remember names. English was harder for him to grasp but he was getting there.
"Do you remember what I said about nouns?" she asked.
"A noun is a person, place, or thing." he recited.
"Good. You are getting much better. Soon you won't need me. Your grades have already improved so much. Your brother will be proud to see these marks and that latest history test. An A+, that will make him really proud of you." she said with a smile.
"Yeah it will. But I hate English. It is hard." he said.
"You'll get it. Everyone is different and you just happen to learn better with technology and numbers. Most students would love to have your ability to grasp science and math the way you do. I would have at your age." she encouraged.
"Really?" he asked.
"Really. I bet your brother would have as well." she remarked.
"Nah. Seto always had top marks. It's like he absorbs everything that he has read, said, saw or someone has said to him. His brain is like a computer." he said.
"I doubt a computer. A photograph maybe." she said.
"Yeah that's it. He has a photographic memory." Mokuba said.
A door slammed in the front of the manor and Mokuba jumped up and ran from the room. She could hear Mokuba laugh and begin to chatter about her to his brother.
"You'll like her Seto, she has helped me so much." the boy said.
"Did you get a marks report?" was asked.
The voice she recognized as Seto Kaiba. It was really him and she was finally going to meet the man that was the brother to the brilliant child.
"Yeah I did. I'm still not so good in English but I am better. I made an A on my history test." Mokuba explained.
"That's good. All you needed was a little guidance." Seto said.
"Yeah. I still don't like English. It's hard but I'm getting it." Mokuba said and they entered the room she was in.
"This is Mizuki." Mokuba introduced her.
Seto inclined his head in her direction and she came towards him. Mizukis' eyes had widened a bit. He was so familiar. He was the man that kept appearing in her memories from when she was Isis. She extended her hand to greet him with a handshake.
"Mr. Kaiba, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. Mokuba is a brilliant boy with so much potential." she said.
Seto grasped her hand and memories of his life as Priest Seto came rushing back to him. Those of him with Isis and how much he had loved her. The same was happening to Mizuki. Memories flashed before their eyes of their past lives. Then they suddenly stopped. Both were gasping and they turned their eyes to one another. Shock in them both but disbelief was also present in his.
"Seto are you ok?" Mokuba asked his brother.
"Isis." Seto said and he saw recognition light her eyes.
"I'm fine Mokuba. You can go play your games." he said and Mokuba left the room.
Mizuki didn't say a word. She had accepted what was going on but it was sometimes a bit overwhelming to take in. Seto on the other hand had always struggled with the fact that he had been reincarnated. He had met Ishizu and had thought that she was the reincarnation of Isis but with this girl he had experienced something different than he had with Ishizu.
Ishizu looked like Isis but this girl, Mizuki, felt as if she had been Isis but looked different. Was it possible to have two reincarnations? One clearly physical and the other spiritual? He had to find out and the only person he could ask was that priestess he had met a couple of weeks before. He had to pay a visit to Yugi.
AN: GASP! What is going to happen next? You never know until I put up the next chapter. lol. I feel like I am writing a soap opera. lol.
