I always forget to do this on the first part but anyway. The Yugioh francise is owned by its respective owners and not by me. I did not make this for profit. I also do not own the song Secret Combination that is Kalomoira's song and the song Ojos Asi is owned by Shakira.

Kaiba POV

I arrive at my mansion feeling like I was once again at the top of the world. Where I should be and will stay at. Everything was going my way. I got rid of those pesky Big Fives, my company is doing better than ever and Aliyeh is now mine. The only thing that is missing from this perfect day was my title. I need to become the number one duelist in the world and then everything in my life will be perfect. "Hey big brother!"

"Hello Mokuba. Have you done all your homework for your lessons?"

"Yes Seto. I have done all my homework. But that's not important right now! Tell me did she meet you?" I smirk at Mokuba's innocent and naïve question.

"She did more than meet me. As of today she is my girlfriend. All according to plan."

"Really big brother? Is she really your girlfriend?"

"I just said it was so didn't I Mokuba? All that research I did on her paid off." Yesterday after I had sent her the first rose bouquet after I did some research on her. (I found out her name from a fellow classmate) I found out that she was from a decent family. Father is a swordsmanship champion and fairly successful antique appraiser and collector. Mother died when her and her older sister, Nasira (the tiny pest from yesterday.) were rather young. Aliyeh has studied the harp, has been in a few concerts but has never been in any sort of competition. She had however been in a few equestrian competitions. Her strength best lied in cross country. Second best was jumping. Her horse is a blue roan trakehner named Oasis Jewel. A horse that now resided at the Peach Blossom Stables not far from here. She is a bright student, with a generous heart. (Does tons of volunteer work. Mostly with animals and children with disabilities or terminal illness. Even went as far as training her horse to be a volunteer therapy horse.) So far she was shaping up to be perfect girlfriend material for one such as myself. She has brains, beauty, interesting talents and good karma. Not that I believe in that stuff. But she does provide good PR for my image. "The only thing left to do is reclaim my title as the world's greatest duelist and then I will have everything in the world that is worth having. But how to gain that title back is the question."

Narrator POV

'Don't you think that it's a little early to be so cocky after only having one date with Aliyeh?' Of course Mokuba would not dare say this out loud to his brother. For one he was sure that Seto wouldn't be able to hear him as he was not in the right mind set to listen to anyone at the moment as he went off to enjoy a good sleep for tomorrow was a very big day for him. Whether he knew it or not.

A few months proved well in the dating lives of Seto Kaiba and Aliyeh Pari. The dates went from simple traditional dates such as the movies and dinner dates to lavish extravagant ones. Attendances at ballets, operas and other similar society functions. That week was perhaps the week that held the most social functions attended for Seto Kaiba. It was on one such event that Aliyeh dressed to the nines felt the most out of place. Her hair placed in a stylish up do with real diamond clips, an off shoulder strap silver dress made by a designer of high regard and other gems decorated her arms and neck created the image of one of the high society crowd. But inside she felt a bit lost. Something that wasn't so much to do with the event, events like these wouldn't make her as uncomfortable as she was now. It was something else.

"Kaiba, can we talk in private?" Her voice a soft whisper amongst the jovial chatter of the ballroom, where the event was being hosted. Kaiba excuses himself from the conversation that he was having and the two snuck to a quieter and more private area of the building. Hidden behind the towering columns in the back of the ballroom; where conversations could remain only amongst those who are a part of them.

"What is it Aliyeh?" Again Kaiba was blunt in his words. Causing a stir of uncertainty within Aliyeh.

"I wanted to talk to you about…" Before she could finish she felt the skin of his hand at her chin

"You are too beautiful for words." Kaiba's voice took on a deeper tone of suave intentions as he placed his hand over her cheek as his thumb traced her lips. He begins to move closer to her. His warm breath tickling the nape of her neck as he rose up to her meet her lips. They were just waiting with quivering at the soon to be glorious sensation. He kissed her and her mind went blank as the two enjoyed their moment together before rejoining the crowd. It wasn't until he had dropped her off at home and as she was removing her makeup that it dawned on her that she didn't have the conversation she wanted to have with him. The next time she would talk to him.

The next day created the whirling wheel of destiny in place. It started with the appearance of the woman ambassador named Ishizu Ishtar. She planted the idea of a tournament within Seto Kaiba's head. The reason why was to ferret out the Rare Hunters out into the open. Rare Hunters that would truly be tempted with the idea of entering the duel that she foresaw of Kaiba's future from her Millennium necklace. Two days after this encounter another was about to commence between two parties.

Nasira POV

It's such a beautiful day today in its own way I guess. It's raining and grey, but still calming and relaxing. A day for curling up with a good book, playing games inside and listening to the music the rain makes as it falls. For now it meant walking along the puddles that sparkled with the faint light that streamed from where it could. Hardly anyone was walking down the streets in this weather allowing me to my thoughts. One thought in particular was recycled throughout my mind's activities.

I wonder how it's going between Mr. Kaiba (I refuse to call him anything else) and Aliyeh? They have been together for some months now. But I wonder if she is happy with him? She smiles from time to time when his name is mentioned and when she is about to meet him for their dates. But when she comes back from those dates she looks worn down… When I try to talk to her about it she brushes it aside or says she's tired and wants to rest. And it's left at that. Then after those dates a gift will come from Kaiba to her. Usually expensive, like jewelry or flowers and in some cases new clothes. Pricey new clothes and not something like a scarf or hat, but full outfits and formal gowns. Is there something deeper going on? Could it be that there is something else going on that I have not been privy to see? Is it getting too serious too quickly for Mr. Kaiba and Aliyeh? Is that what is going on? Is Mr. Kaiba pressuring her to become physical in their relationship? Is that why Aliyeh looks so worn? Because he has convinced her to? Or could it be that she has kept refusing his sexual advances and they get into fights over it and that is why she is so tired when she comes home? And Mr. Kaiba sends those gifts in order to make up for the fights? Wait. Fights. It couldn't be, could it? Could Mr. Kaiba be an abusive boyfriend? What is the fights aren't ones with words, but with fists? Isn't it a sign when an abusive partner acts all sweet and giving after a big fight? But I haven't seen any marks on Aliyeh, but she could be hiding them. I have to find out….

"Hey Look Out!" I hear a voice shout out from somewhere nearby. In time I see a moving flash go by it was that of a bicyclist going far too fast for the sidewalk. I turn around to see who it was that was spoke in time for me to avoid being run over by a bicycle. That would have been embarrassing. "Good you're alright."

Yugi POV

I don't know why I felt like taking a walk today. No wait I know why it has to do with how Yami's been acting. He hasn't been himself for some time. I honestly believed that the date with Tea would help him out, granted it did help with him dealing with at least his past, but something else is bothering him. He says he doesn't know what it is exactly, but he says there is just something about her. Then he goes all silent and I feel like a schizophrenic for yelling at something in my head to talk to me.

Yeah I definatly needed to just take a walk to clear my head. Maybe I can go and see Duke Devlin's new dice designs. He has been asking for my input. Hey what a minute isn't that Tea's new sister, Nasira, I think that's her name. Double wait a minute that cyclist! He's going to fast, he'll hit her!

"Hey Look Out!" I shout at Nasira. Her head turns about and then she moves away from the impending bicycle. I run to her side. "Good you're alright."

"Oh Yugi." She said to me in a slightly breathless tone. No doubt from the near bicycle incident. She smiled sweetly at me before bowing to me. "Thank you for warning me about the cyclist coming towards me. The way my mind is right now it's a wonder that I haven't run into someone yet."

"Well it is raining and not many people will take a walk out in it. Even if it is only a nice steady sort of rain."

"It is a nice sort of rain. Almost magical in a way."

"I guess if you look at it another way then yes I can see why you see it as magical. But what's got your mind so distracted?" I ask her she looks to the side unsure if she could tell me or not. Her eyes land on something before she turns her head back to talk to me.

"Yugi is it alright if we go into the restaurant over there. I would like to get out of the rain just for a little while." I nodded understanding that she wanted to talk somewhere where no one would be interested in listening in. We enter the restaurant which was just a little sandwich and coffee shop. With old vinyl seats and spinning stool seats at the bar that you know as a little kid you would spin around and around on it till you were sick to your stomach. Then you throw up on the waitress and your grandfa…I mean parents have to take you home and pay for the waitresses dry cleaning. Not that I have ever done anything like that. I heard about it from someone, it's like an urban myth. (Cough) I think I should listen to Nasira.

"The reason I wanted to talk to you in here instead of out there is because I didn't want it somehow getting back to Mr. Kaiba at least not yet." She doesn't want Kaiba to hear about this? What could she possibly know about that would be bad if Kaiba were to find out about it? And why does she keep calling him Mr. Kaiba, it's not like she is working for him or something. Unless that is why and how she doesn't want Kaiba to know about it yet. Like she found out something is wrong with his business practice. "By now I'm sure you are aware that Mr. Kaiba and my sister Aliyeh are in a relationship."

"Oh yeah. I remember hearing about that from Tea. Everyone was a bit surprised since it's you know Kaiba."

"Well since they have been in a relationship I have been noticing some things."

"What kind of things?"

"Things like when she comes home from one of their dates she tends to look sluggish, exhausted or fatigued in some way. I ask her about her date and she avoids the question replying that she wishes to rest a little or isn't in the mood to talk about it. Then there are the gifts that Mr. Kaiba sends to her. Flowers and candy are the least in terms of gifts that she gets. In truth most of the gifts she gets are designer's dresses, or full outfits with shoes and a few accessories added. Speaking of accessories he gives her necklaces, bracelets and earrings…"

"Isn't that normal for a boyfriend to give their girlfriend?"

"Normal if they were little charm bracelets, of heart shaped pendant necklaces, but these are Tiffany's diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. One of these pieces costs over three thousand dollars."

"And you know that how?"

"I looked online and asked my Dad about figuring out a piece of jewelry's worth. He has an eye for such things with value."

"I see. Um I really don't want to ask this because of how you may take this but…do you think that perhaps you maybe a little jealous of your sister?" I look into her eyes and I can see that a veil goes over them as she talks. It's not a veil that you would find in a liar, but one who has been hurt in their heart.

"At first I was jealous that she had found someone." She takes a deep sigh.

"You wish you had someone, don't you?" A smile tugs at the corners of her mouth as she looks at me.

"I have already found someone. I just haven't seen him in a long time." Her eyes drop to her hands as her eyes close and open softly.

"How long has he been gone?"

"It has been so long I have lost track." She touches the pearls in her hair. "But these give me hope."

"The pearls? Oh I see they were a gift from him weren't they?"

"Yes, they were a gift and they are also something else. Something far more important. A promise." A promise? "A promise that he would return to me one day. I wear them in case he should show up one day and he will see that I never forgot him or of his love for me. But enough about me and my small problems, Yugi I may have been jealous over her having someone, but that doesn't mean that I am disillusioning myself from seeing that something maybe wrong in my sister's relationship. The gifts always come on a day that Aliyeh looks particularly worn down after a date. And just now I remembered that the day after the dates she wears more clothing than she would normally wear and it covers her completely." My eyes take a turn at widening. This information that she was giving me it's clear that she is hinting at something big, really big.

"Would you say that Mr. Kaiba is an…honorable man?" It was as awkward for her to say as it was for me to listen to.

"Do you mean honorable as in trustworthy? Or do you mean honorable as in a good person?"

"I mean honorable as in honorable. To be clearer I mean does he… is he… What do you think of him?"

"Well he's a great duelist for one, defiantly one of the best when you realize that he was the former owner of the title of King of Games. I would guess that he holds family pretty high up on his list since he will do just about anything for his little brother. He seems like a cold and heartless guy at first, but I think that is just one side of him that we see. Deep down I bet he's probably a more compassionate guy than we thought." We both get silent for a minute and are soon interrupted with Joey rushing through the door.

"YUGI!"

"What is it Joey?!"

"Did ya hear?"

"Hear what?" Joey was about to say what it was until he saw that I wasn't alone. He saw that Nasira was sitting across from me. Sensing that she was perhaps impeding what it was Joey had to say, she excused herself from the table.

"I should probably be heading home anyway it is getting a little late. It was nice seeing you again Joey. Yugi it has been a pleasure talking with you." Nasira then proceeded to leave but not before throwing a wave in my direction. When I looked back at Joey he had this cat caught the mouse grin on his face.

"Well, well, well Yugi nice moves there little buddy." I ask him moves? "Oh come on it's your old pal Joey here, you can tell him everything. Especially about your… (he wiggles his eyebrows) date." I nearly choke on my tongue from the shock. Not that it was a bad thing just well... Unexpected.

"It's not a date!"

"Come on Yug, it's not that shocking. She's a pretty girl, you're a decent looking guy, there is chemistry involved and bam you find yourself with a girlfriend. So how did the two of you….you know meet up?"

"I almost ran over her."

"What?!"

"I was riding on my bike to see Duke, not looking where I was going and almost hit her. I asked her if she was alright. She said she was fine and then wanted to ask me for some advice. That's what we were doing when you came in." Joey looked a little lost for a second.

"So you…and her…" He makes a motion with his hand saying that it was a no to us dating.

"Yep."

"Meaning she's still on the market?"

"Not exactly." He looks crestfallen and confused again.

"But I thought you said?"

"We are not dating, but she kind of already has a special someone. They just haven't seen each other in a long time."

"So what you're saying is that me and her are a possibility?" For some reason that comment annoyed Yami and his feelings were starting to seep into mine.

"Joey, didn't you have something to tell me when you came busting in here?"

"Oh right. I almost forgot about that. Kaiba is hosting a brand new tournament."

"Yeah, I actually heard about that. I take it you are thinking of entering."

(Meanwhile at Kaiba Corp in his main office. Seto is busy at work while his girlfriend lounging on the couch reading a magazine.)

Seto P.O.V

I stop typing for a moment to look up from my screen to gaze at Aliyeh. She looked so perfect right there on the couch. Laying on her stomach contently reading her magazine. Her hair fell down her perfectly arched back and other round curves of her well-endowed body.

"You know you could cause traffic." She looks up confused from the page she was reading.

"Your beauty it is enough to cause distraction." I turn off my computer to gaze at her further. Shyly she looks away. She smiles while tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. The light catches her sapphire earrings the pair I had just given her today. Her hand lightly touches the glittery gem her smile fades. "You don't like them do you?"

"Well I just…"

"Say no more I will see to it that you get a new pair this evening." I say returning back to my work. Only to find that my beautiful distraction wished to have the last word as she left the couch.

"Seto we need …to talk about something."

"If it's about the earrings I just said that I will get you a new pair later today."

"It's not about getting a new pair. Look Seto I really do appreciate… Are you listening to me?" I take a deep breath. Who knew relationships took so much effort? Turning away from my work like she probably wants before talking about something that I will need to remember in case it should cause me trouble later.

"I'm listening, what is it that bothers you Aliyeh?"

"It's these gifts you keep giving me."

"They aren't up to your standards?"

"No, it's nothing like that these gifts are beautiful and more than I would expect anyone to give me. It's just that… (sigh) I feel a little overwhelmed with them. I don't need to be given something like this every day. It's sweet and all that you care this much but I would rather have your time than your gifts all the time." She takes my hand into her own soft ones "I would rather not feel like you are trying to buy feelings from me for you. Please tell me you understand."

"One would have to be a blithering idiot not to understand." Her faces shifts into one of panic I suppose my tone may have something to do with it. To make her feel better I give her a kiss and pull her into my lap. "If all you want is my attention then all you had to do was say so."

"Excuse me Mr. Kaiba, I hate to interrupt…"

"Then don't." Ailyeh looks a little harshly at me for the tone I had used towards this easily dismissed employee.

"But it seems that someone is causing a bit of a stir about not being one of the ones allowed to enter the tournament. A Mr. Joey Wheeler…"

"Wheeler? He thinks he's good enough to be in my tournament? Just ignore him he'll eventually get the picture and stop bothering me if we're lucky he will realize it before he hurts himself."

"Of course sir. I won't bother you any longer."

"Good choice. Now back to you…" Again there is this sour look upon her face. What was it this time?

"Why aren't you letting Joey enter?"

"Oh him. I suppose you think that I am being too hard on him or something like that. Look it's nothing for you to worry about." I try once more to pull her closer into my arms but she resists.

"You didn't really answer my question Seto. I really want to know why you would refuse to let the runner up of Pegasus's tournament enter in yours. Wouldn't you want the best to enter?"

(Dark chuckle)

"The best? An amusing quip Aliyeh but really you are too kind sometimes. Wheeler has a few moves, but most of his dueling is a joke. It was plain and simple luck that got Wheeler even that far into the tournament. There's no way he is even going to make it to the finals of mine so why bother letting him try. He'll only hurt himself."

"Joey is a better duelist than you are giving him credit for. He could be a good boost to your tournament to have a good duelist like him competing against the others."

"Listen, I would rather focus on other things than Wheeler. A focus that you have wanted from me not more than thirty seconds ago."

"I can't help it if I am surprised you wouldn't let Joey into the tournament. You often mention how much fun it was to beat him during the Duelist Kingdom tournament that I'm surprised you didn't wish to defeat him again in your own tournament and take his rarest and probably favorite card from him to boot."

"Subtle strategies aren't your strong suit Aliyeh." I rise up to look her straight in the eye. "What is the real reason that you are upset that Wheeler isn't allowed in the tournament? I want the total truth from you. Do you care about this Wheeler or something?"

"I just think that it is unfair of you to deny someone to at least enter your tournament when he has every right to do so. And yes I do care about Joey. He's a friend of my sisters and of mine." I'm starting to get a little annoyed with this sweet talk of hers about Wheeler.

"But you are my girlfriend."

"What does that have to do with this? It's not like Joey has a thing for me, he has a thing for Nasira. Not that she'll ever notice it."

"Good." I pull her again into my arms. "How about this Aliyeh, if Wheeler can figure out a way to get himself into my tournament then I will allow him to compete. Sound like a deal?"

"But he can't enter without checking in at one of your stations and they are not going to let him enter, so can he?"

"That is for him to figure out and not for me to be bothered with. Right now all of my attention is on only one person right now." She doesn't look that at ease but it's nothing a kiss won't fix.

POV Yami Bakura

Damn infernal colds! If it wasn't for them I could have figured out a way of getting the millennium items. Instead I have been foggy headed and unable to move from my bedroom. Damn again! Oh well guess I should figure out what else has been going on in my absence. Oh look there's Joey. What's the idiot so happy about now?

"Hey there Joey!" God I hate this weaklings voice it's sounds like a wet kitten.

"Oh hey Bakura, been awhile since I've seen ya. Take it you're feeling all better?"

"Oh yes. I am feeling much better. Tell me has anything interesting happened since I have taken ill?"

"Oh Yeah! Kaiba just started a new duel monsters tournament and guess who just got in it."

"Yugi of course. Or did he decided not to enter a tournament this time?"

"Well ya Yug got into it, but I was referring to me. I got into the tournament and at first I wasn't allowed into it, but then they were practically begging me to enter it. Oh man is this going to impress Nasira or what?" Good grief he's doing a dance. Doesn't he have any pride? Wait a minute what name was it that he just said?

"Um Joey?" Thank god that got him to stop dancing. "Who is Nasira?"

"Oh right I guess I forgot that you have been sick for good chunk of time. You remember that Tea's mom was out of town for a while." I could care less about that twit's parents.

"I think so." Why would I care about that wench's mother?

"Well it turns out that Ms. G got remarried while on that trip and the guy has two daughters. Aliyeh and Nasira and Nasira is smoking hot." Mindless dribble all of it why do I bother talking with this one?

"HEY ALIYEH!" DOES this FOOL not UNDERSTAND that HE is SHOUTING right in MY EAR!? "Oh sorry about that Bakura." Okay he may understand a few things after all.

"Hey Joey." Who is this now? I turn around to find myself in the presence of…her. Instantly my thoughts go numb which is exceptionally rare for me since one I have rather keen intellect, how else have I been able to survive amongst this group of idiots. But she…she was just about the most beautiful being that I have ever seen. Her eyes the color and shine of gemstones, precious gemstones.

"Oh hey where are my manners." Out in a trash heap with the rest of your brain? "Aliyeh, meet another member of our group of friends that you have gotten to meet yet. This is Bakura. Bakura, Aliyeh. Aliyeh, Bakura. There now the two of you have officially met."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Aliyeh." Bow for good measure.

"The pleasure is all mine. I have heard a bit about you from Tea and I am glad to match the face with all that I have heard."

"I wish I could say the same, but I only just heard about you from Joey just now. Nether the less I would like to say hello and welcome to Domino City."

"Thank you. Joey is that a Duel disk on your arm?"

"You noticed it huh. Yeah I'm officially in the tournament now."

"Kaiba let you enter the tournament?"

"Why do you sound so surprised that I am in the tournament."

"I was with Kaiba and heard that you were not allowed to enter the tournament, but I talked to him and I guess he listened a little."

"Kaiba listens to you? How come?" Oh crap I wasn't supposed to say it like that. "I'm sorry. What I meant was how did you get him to listen to you?"

"It's easy when you are dating the guy." The surprise must have been as apparent on my face as I thought it was. "Yeah had me thrown for a loop when I found out that this girl was dating Kaiba I had the urge to call the Vatican cause it sounded like some kind of a miracle to me." I wouldn't exactly call it a miracle. The opposite of a miracle, yes I would call it that. However that doesn't mean that I can't find a way to shift this to my advantage.

A decent amount of time later to the day before the finals of the Battle City Tournament POV of Yami Yugi as he talks with Yugi

"So Joey has given up on impressing Nasira I see?" I ask Yugi as he gathers what he needs before heading off to meet the others.

"Guess so. Since he and Mai have caught up he sort of has forgotten about her."

"Good. I doubt she would return his feelings"

"What was that Yami?"

"I was saying that we should hurry otherwise we will be late." Yugi looks to his alarm clock and moves faster to look for his ticket.

"You're right Yami! I could have sworn that I put the ticket right here."

"Yugi, isn't that the ticket there on the bed?" I ask him while pointing to the piece of paper on his bed. He scratches the back of his head and says something about how could it have gotten there. We soon leave to meet up with the others.

"Cutting it a little short there aren't you buddy?" Tristian says to us as we come to the buliding. "Come on the others are already inside." Inside the building we find Mai, Joey, Serenity, Duke, Tea, Bakura, Aliyeh, Kaiba and Mokuba were altogether.

"Sorry about being late I was having trouble with finding my ticket." Aliyeh was the first one to respond.

"It's alright Yugi. You made it with a least a few minutes to spare. Oh and thank you again for coming to see Nasira dance in the culture show tonight. Actually I should say thank you to all of you for coming. It means so much for my sister to have friends who care enough to see her perform."

A round of no bigs, its nothing, can't wait to see her perform and words along those lines echo from each of us, except for Kaiba who preferred to remain silent. Until he pointed out that we should be getting inside to find our seats. It is right about the time all of us get to our seats that the lights dim to signal the start of the show.

The show started off with a collage of traditional Japanese dance, then moved into a few modern types of dances, like breakdancing. Some of those dancers I wonder how it doesn't hurt them to do those kinds of moves. Then we went into Traditional Chinese dance and finally the announcer came to Nasira's dance. The announcer walked up to the middle of the curtain covered stage and began the introductions.

"To close the our display of Cultural Dances both Near and Far we have the grand treat of having our final dancer being Nasira Pari a well-known dancer of the Turkish and Egyptian belly dancing as well as Bollywood. In this dance she is to perform will be a mix of traditional belly dancing with a modern flair twisted into it. Without further ado I present to all of you the Lotus of the Nile.

The lights dimmed as the announcer left the stage and the curtain rose. The thumping and strumming of the beginning notes a song began as the spotlight shone on it's target right as the music went to the lyrics.

Can you see it? Can you see it? You have to discover me What goes wrong when I am crying Or what I want when I 'm smiling

She starts with her back turned to the audience. Her arms move out ward as she moves with curving appeal. Her body rises up on to her feet in tune with the music.

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? That I 'm not a little girl You're misunderstanding my way And all the roles that I like to play

She stops for a moment just as the song takes a turn into the chours.

My secret combination It's a mystery for you Use your imagination I 'm not easy but I 'm true

Her body picks up on the change in tempo and in turn she faces the audience. Her hips appear still but are in fact moving rather quickly.

My secret combination Boy you have to try it hard To win a destination In the center of my heart

Her arms arc and fall, shift from palms up to palms down. Brought in and then brought wide out allowing her arch her back and then with the quickness of a cobra she lashes back into a different pose that matches the now darker turn of the music. A new song has entered. I couldn't understand the words for they were in a tongue unknown to me. I believe it was Spanish. Nasira's moves become more rapid, sharp and in a way lethal. The soul of her dance was wild and free. Uninhibited into a new form of beauty I had not seen before. As if enacting the part of snakes her arms move and curve like two in the heat of battle. She would spin about and when she stopped her arms would strike out at some unseen force.

ya he ya he ya la he, y vi pasar tus ojos negros, ya he ya he ya la he, y ahora si que no, puedo vivir sin ellos y

As I continued to watch images of something similar to what I was viewing were flashing before my eyes like a long forgotten memory that was trying to come forth. All too soon both the images and the dance were over as Nasira took a bow to the thrilled audience.

Nasira and the other dancers still in costume were in the lobby when we left our seats. She looked amazing her costume. The pearls she always wore were put into a wreath like design similar to desert princess. The veil of sheer blue fabric gave her the allure of mystery. Blue like the Caribbean was her top embellished with layers and beads. Red and bejeweled is the skirt. Is it just me or is it a rather tight skirt and has her top always had a v neck?

"I am honored that so many of you have come to see the performance. What did you think?" She asks.

"They're nice. I mean it was nice." I tell her through Yugi.

"Girl, how is it that you are single still. With those moves and that outfit you should be brushing boys off like flies." Mai says and continues. "If you need help finding a date then you should let me hook you up sometime. I know quite a few who would fall over themselves to get to you."

"I thank you for the offer, but I already have someone deep in my heart." I notice that her eyes gaze slightly towards Yugi, but in the way she looked it once more felt like she was looking into my own eyes.
