John, Jeremy, Yami and Tea ran to a little chopper that waited for them before the Manor. Tea was caring Annie in her hands. Yami hired a nanny who will take care of Annie and be with her all the time. Tea was reluctant about leaving Annie with a complete stranger but Yami assured her Annie was safe. When they said goodbye Annie walked to Yami and looked at him. He kneeled before her to be in the eye level with her.

"That lady there will be there for you all the time. You will see your mommy soon enough." He said gently to the little girl.

"I know. Mommy said everything to me. Will you take care of my mommy? Uncle Yugi, uncle Joy, uncle Tristen and uncle Duke said they would, but they are always protecting her. Will you?" She asked. Yami felt something press his chest. He couldn't leave the little girl hanging so he smiled gently to her and ruffled her hair.

"I'll do anything to keep your mommy safe, all right?" The girl smiled and entered the chopper. Tea waved to her as she flew away. Yami's words struck her heart. 'Will he truly do that?' They all stood there watching as the chopper flew away. Tea sighed and closed her eyes, praying that everything ends well. Yami saw that and turned to walk back. John and Jeremy walked behind him. Tea saw them leave and followed them casting one last glance on the horizon where the chopper disappeared into the rising sun. When they returned to the manor and met with everyone there Jean walked to Yami's side.

"Is Annie on her way?" Jean came to Yami and placed her hand on his forearm.

"Yes. We should get ready and get going. Has anyone found anything?" He asked.

"We broke into NASA programs and I think we have something." Tristen said while Joey showed them some pictures.

"It seams that the center of the storms is somewhere over the Western side of Africa. They can't determine the center. God knows why." Said Joey.

"It has to do something with that little problem we have." Said Jeremy. Yami nodded.

"Yugi and I translated the scripts but there is nothing that could help us find out what it is what we're looking for. How much time do we have?" He asked taking a look at Tea and Jean.

"We have five days until Pluto and Saturn line up with Uranus. The next are Neptune and Jupiter, but not until five days after the lining of The Three Giants." Said Tea. Jean nodded her head in agreement.

"Well, I really don't know who could be powerful enough to support Kaiba in his current situation. I'll need more time." Said Duke.

"That is a lesser problem. We should get ready and make our way to the City of Prophets. We do have five days but that will mean nothing if we fall into trouble there. People who don't want to go are not obliged to. Jean I don't want you to go if you are not 100 sure you are all right." He said and looked at Jean. Tea flinched and clenched her hands harder, making her knuckles go white with the force. 'He is so concerned about her...'

"I'm all right, Yami. I repeat I'm not out of glass." Jean said.

"Yeah! And I'll be there to watch over her!" said Rachel. Yami looked at her sharply.

"You are not going. I don't know what awaits us there and I don't want to be responsible if something happens to you. I don't want you to get hurt,"

"And I won't get hurt. With you, Jeremy and John constantly watching over me and my own personal knowledge, I AM pretty able to survive, thank you very much." Rachel broke in the middle of Yami's sentence.

"Your mother will kill me if I let you go with us and I do not want to test the bounders of that woman. Last time I had a dangerous assignment she almost ripped the throat out to my boss. I don't want to be the one with the reaped throat." He said a shudder running down his spine.

"Listen to the chief, sis'! You know he's right!" Said John.

"Besides, you know we won't be able to watch over you all the time." Said Jeremy.

"Wetter you are there or not, I am going. That's my final!" She said. Yami was about to complain but he just closed his eyes, took a deep breath and nodded his head.

"But you are talking with your mother. I'm not having anything with it." He said looking tired. Rachel wasn't jumping with happiness, but looked at him like she saw something suspicious on his face. He smiled slightly and nodded his head. She smiled, ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, I swear I won't be a bother." She said. People in the room smiled softly.

"All right. We'll just have to be extra careful." Yami said patting her back. No body noticed Tea sigh. She saw Yami looking at Rachel. His eyes were that of a loving father. He cared about her, Jean, John and Jeremy so much. 'I wish someone would care like that about me and my daughter...' She thought for herself. Yami let go of Rachel and smiled. Then his eyes fell on Isis.

"The five of you know how to handle deserts. You lived under ground and you are capable of getting around. I'm sure you will all be all right." Isis nodded her head and so did Marrick and Odion. Bakura just turned from Yami's stare and nodded. Yami sighed and turned.

"Tea? Are you sure you want to go. I can order a jet to take you back where's safe." He asked looking at Tea. She looked shocked for a moment but then shook her eyes looking sad.

"I' all right." She whispered. Yami nodded and turned to the gate.

"Let's go!"

"We're coming down!" The pilot yelled over the noise the chopper made. Tea looked out of the window and saw few tends and a ruined city. They got down and a man looking to be in his early twenties ran to them.

"Professor Motou! It's a pleasure to meet you finally. I am Thomas Danielson and I'll be your guide in the familiar parts of this city." As everyone just walked out they saw Yami walking really fast and the young man following him with difficulties.

"Poor guy. Yami is in his working mode and that means that the little guy won't be of much use. He'll be on his way home probably until night time." Said Jean looking at the boy with pity. Everyone followed them and they heard Yami speak.

"I probably know more then you'll ever know about this City, Danielson. If there is nothing else for you here I suggest you pack your bags and go home." He said. The young man stopped and looked at Yami as he went threw little conversations with few people there.

"Sorry, son. But that's true. He probably knows more then you'll ever know." said Jean as everyone gathered here. Thomas just stared into space.

"Are you all right?" Tea asked.

"I got to speak with professor Yami Motou. THE Yami Motou." He whispered. Everyone just stared at him, but Jean just smiled.

"What an honor! I got to tell Annabelle!" He yelled and ran to what seamed the sleeping tend. Everyone, but Jean, was stunned in place.

"What was that?" Joey asked. Jean snickered silently and entered deeper in the tend.

"Thomas obviously heard everything about Yami. He must be someone from the same university Yami and I went on. As you heard we were quite competitive and the professors enjoyed our bickering during classes. Yami was always the passive one and he always knew how to make me get confused and he would always win in the end. The problem was he would always use a different tactic, and no one ever knew how to beat him. It was like he always played a game. Many challenged him in different games: chess, tennis, go... No one ever beat him. They even challenged him on a game of Duel Monsters, but failed to beat him. He was the best in everything he did, but always so melancholic and... Far away." She finished and looked down. But soon she smiled again.

"I heard that our former professor miss our little fights in the classes. Every now and then when we are summoned to teach and everyone just laughs so hard they never learn much." Everyone laughed shortly but Yami came and they fell silent.

"Why do I have the feeling you were talking about our past?" He asked and looked at Jean. She came to him and tapped his chest.

"Yami, ol' man! You still read me like e book." She said and passed beside him. He smirked and turned to follow her.

"And I always will." He whispered. They followed him to the great round table in the middle of the greatest tend. They stood around the table and Yami spoke. Tea noticed the little interaction. To someone it would be funny but something made Tea sigh painfully and turn her head away.

"We will take the lamps and maps and search threw the familiar parts of the city. We will go in groups and everyone will have something to eat and lots of water. You don't have to eat but you have to drink as much as you can." He finished and Jean took place.

"We will go in groups of four, but since there is one too much, one group will be the group of five. Yami, Odion, Marrick, Isis and Bakura. You will cover the western side. Tea, Yugi, John, Jeremy and Duke. You will cover the eastern side. Rachel, Joey and Tristen. You will go with me and we will cover the north side. South side is a ruin. We will find nothing there today." She finished. Everyone was quite speechless. Both Yami and Jean were totally different persons. Yami was somehow melancholic and Jean was cheerful and smiling all the time, almost. Now they were both focused and strict looking. You could see they were devoted to their job.

"You all have one hour to get ready. Then we will go to the entrance and start. You will take pictures of everything that could have some connection with the problem we have. You all saw the markings on the tablet the day when we arrived. If you don't remember them then you'll find the pictures in the Research tent. This tent is the Meeting tent and on the left is the Dinning tent. The black tent is the Bedroom and if anyone needs to use the restroom there is on a little bit out of the Camp. I suggest you all rest for a while. If you're hungry have something to eat, drink or anything else. You can all leave your cell phones here. They will be of no use down there. Any questions?" He looked around and nodded.

"You're free to go." He turned and left the tent, Jean following him. Rachel and her brothers went out short after and left to the Dinning tent.

"I wonder why the twins are in our group?" Asked Duke.

"We are the ones with very small amount of knowledge in working in deserts and the two of them are very capable." said Yugi.

"Yami chose to be with Isis and the others because they got the largest part of the underground city and he needs someone with experience. Jean, Rachel and you two will have a little bit more work to do then us. We have the easiest part of the city." Yugi finished and Tea nodded.

"Don't know about you but I'm gonna 'ave a bit. I haven't eaten anything this morning and I need my breakfast." Said Joey, stretching. Tristen agreed grumbling something un-understandable. Yugi and tea were the only ones left.

"What is bothering you, Tea?" Yugi asked. Tea looked at him wide eyed but recovered immediately.

"It's nothing. I'm worried about Annie." She said not looking in his eyes.

"You're lying to me, Tea. You know you can't hide anything from me, so why do you even try?" He came to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. She sighed.

"I don't know what has gotten into me. I know I'm acting strange but... I don't understand why?" She said leaning on Yugi. He patted her back gently.

"You still love him, don't you?" She jumped from him.

"No! I don't! He-he hurt me and he wanted to hurt Anne!!"

"I'm not talking about Seto Kaiba." She stood there shocked. Yugi watched her tremble. He started to come closer to her and he hugged her close. For a moment nothing happened but then a sly tremble passed over tea's body and he knew she was crying.

"How? When?" Were the only words she was able to say.

"I realized that short time after the Battle City Championship ended. I remember you would always tremble every time I would switch places with Yami, and I saw your heart braking when you realized he didn't feel the same towards you. I was sad because of that. When I saw you thinking, you were in love with Kaiba I knew you were making a mistake but I didn't do anything. I though that if you was happy nothing else mattered. I guess... I was wrong." He said while patting her back. She pushed him slightly from herself and whipped away her tears.

"I guess I can't hide anything from you, can I?" She asked while smiling to Yugi.

"I know you far too well." He smiled to her and they made their way out.

"Everyone knows what to do?" Yami asked, as they were about to enter the underground. Everyone nodded their head. You could see that they were all nervous.

"Let's go then." he said and turned on the battery. As the entered the underground they were all, beside Yami and Jean, speechless. The walls were made from beautiful sand colored stone, covered in hieroglyphs. They followed Yami's lead, until they came to a great room. There were four golden doors. Each led in different direction, with different signs on them.

"Those are the Gods of Egypt. The south is ruined and we'll need ore time to pass threw the barricade that is there. We will all go together in there. Jean, you and your team go to that doors." He said while showing the doors with the mark of north. It was the mark Egyptian God of Death, Anubis. Yami continued.

"Yugi. The four of you go to the doors with the mark of the Egyptian God Oziris, and we will go to the last doors." He said looking at Isis and the others.

"I have to warn you that the there is a danger of collapsing and if you notice anything like that. Move from there or go forth but stay very silent and try not to do anything stupid." No one complained.

"Lets go then. Good luck everyone." Yami said and his group made its way to their door. Every door opened with a heavy sound, and dust and sand filled the thick air. Everyone got in and the doors closed behind them. No one noticed a dark shadow leave the great hall. No one saw or heard the large South door close. No one was there to see the evil glow shine in the eyes of the greatest evil being that walked the lands of Egypt. The God of Chaos... Seth...

"God damn it!!!!" Joey angry yell echoed threw the halls. Little peaces of ground and sand started to fall over them. They all stood still and waited for it to stop.

"Will you please explain to me, what just happened?" Rachel hissed. Joey smiled goofily.

"I saw a dead cobra. Blame me for being the child of the city." He said. Rachel shook her head but still had a smile on her face.

"Do we have much to check? We found nothing but bunch of hieroglyphs, piles of animals, alive and dead, few skeletons, and bunch of weapons." Rambled Tristen. Jean looked at her map and around herself.

"We don't have much. We will be over in an hour or so." She said.

"Let's hurry up. This place gives me creeps." Said Rachel.

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

"Nothing here." Said Marrick.

"True. How much do we still have?" Asked Isis.

"If we hurry up we'll be done in an hour or two. I don't know if the Crowning Chamber is in one peace or if it is ruined. The last time I was here it didn't look too well." Said Yami. Bakura was behind them looking around. He thought about everything they have found and how Yami's face frowned every time.

"Nothing we've found could help us find something." said Odion.

"Apparently, that's true." Said Yami.

"Maybe the others had some luck?" Said Marrick. Yami was silent for a moment looking lost in space but then he frowned again and shook his head.

"Nothing. They had same luck as we did." He said and continued walking. They all exchanged looks and followed him. As they walked Yami called forth Bakura.

"You wanted to talk?" Bakura asked. Yami nodded.

"Yes. You are avoiding me. Why?" Yami asked. Bakura looked away ashamed.

"I thought... I thought you were... angry with me..." He said as the muddy ground seamed very interesting to him. Yami sighed.

"I was at first, but I am no more. I know you Bakura. You hate fighting, and that God damned thieve would have had you killed if you fought him. We beat him together and that is all that matters. So stop avoiding me, don't blame yourself and cheer up. This depressive state doesn't suit you." Yami said and Bakura looked at the older man with wonder. His face formed a smile and he nodded.

"Thank you, Yami." Yami just nodded. They came to a large doors and Yami stopped.

"Is something wrong?" Isis stopped beside Yami.

"No. These doors lead to the Crowning chamber. Let's hope it is not ruined. If it is in one shape we will maybe be able to go to the Great Room. There we might even find something." He took a deep breath and started to open the doors. It was difficult but when the doors opened thick dust and sand greeted them. The stench that filled their senses almost made them turn away but ten sopped themselves from turning away and got in.

"What the hell happened here..." Marrick asked looking around. Bones were scattered on the ground, nothing was in one peace.

"The day the city was ruined there was a great fight between the rebels and the king guards. No one escaped alive." Yami said. As Isis, Odion, Marrick and Bakura looked around Yami made his way to the doors on the other side of the room. He tried to open them but discovered it was impossible.

"It seams that the other room is ruined. We won't be able to look in it. Let's go. We have many things to check and we won't find anything useful here." He said and they were ready to leave. Suddenly everything started to shake and a loud scream came somewhere from the complex of the underground chambers. Yami recognized that scream and his heart stopped.

"Tea..."

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

"I think we should head back." Yugi said.

"I agree. We've found nothing and if we head in that direction we'll end up going in circles." Said John. Tea and Jeremy just nodded. They begun their way back but then Tea saw something.

"Hey, Guys. I think we've overseen this!" She rushed in the direction of the mark she saw.

"Look. It looks like the mark I saw on the south doors." Said Tea. Yugi looked at it for a moment but then his eyes spread and he very interested

"Yugi? What is it?" Jeremy asked.

"That... That is Seth, The God of Chaos. Maybe..." He started to feel the wall.

"What are you..." But Tea didn't have time to finish the sentence because a secret door opened and they were all left without words.

"Wow..." Whispered John.

"Yeah..." Both twins looked bewildered.

"Let's go in." Said Yugi and they entered the chamber. The walls were covered in beautiful markings. Tea took a turn in a smaller room and saw the most beautiful thing she ever saw. A necklace of pure gold. A black diamond it the shape of an eye was hanged like a pendant. It seamed purple on the dim light.

"GUYS!!!! I've found something!" She was about to near it when the floor crumbled and she fell in with a surprised scream.

"TEAAAAAAAA!!"

Hope you liked it. I'm a bit crowded so I want to apologies to Island Heart because I haven't written her in a while now. I'm sorry my friend but I'm finishing my first semester and I have so much to tell you I just can't wait to have my time of for two three days. I'm gonna write you a really long mail. So you better prepare a cup of warm tea and cookies because you'll have one hell of a job to read everything. Again I ask for at least two reviews and patience. This is the fastest I can do in my current condition. I love you all. Thanks for reviewing and I hope you're all doing well.

Love,

Izida
