Update!

Amme: God this was way overdue. Sorry guys.

Joey: What took you so long?

Amme: I got bored. And Summer of Seduction took a lot longer to get right, and that was more enjoyable to write ... oh god, I'm so sorry! Plus school's started and that's going to eat into my creative time so ... lots of stuff happening that's stopping me form writing.

Yugi: That's going to be your excuse for a while now.

Amme: Probably.

Ryou: Thanks everyone for being so patient and I hope that this won't be a disappointment.

Amme: Because it sucks! *goes to hide under a rock* and under a rock I shall stay! until the next update.

Yugi: Oh Amme ... I think review's will have to wait until next time guys, thanks for everything and please give a review because then, hopefully, we can move onto a better part of the storyline and it'll get Amme out from under that rock.

Joey looked around at the imperial city, the houses and streets holding a few memories for him. Such as racing down a mountain to catch up with Seto and warn him, such as watching Red Eyes evolve into his adult form, and such as nearly dying.

Joey supressed a shiver as the tower he fell from came into view. Gods that's high from this angle, am I lucky or just indestructible? Joey wondered, not realising he'd pulled Mai to a halt while reliving the emotions in his memories.

Seto realised his fiancée wasn't keeping up with him and turned his steed around to check. The brunette saw Joey's pale face and clenched fists and sighed softly, he turned his horse around and came to stand beside him "Joey," he said to catch the blond's attention.

Joey jumped and looked around before meeting Seto's eyes "Huh? Oh … er, did we stop?"

Seto sighed and gave Joey his famous impatient look "You stopped. What's wrong?" he pressed.

Joey felt Red Eyes climb onto his shoulder and cuddle him. Joey rubbed his little head instinctively "I, er … it … it's nothing," the hikari got out at last, unable to admit that just seeing the tower had reminded him all too clearly of what might have been his final moments.

Seto hesitated then put a hand on Joey's and rubbed a thumb over his knuckles "It's alright," he comforted, knowing Joey all too well to be put off by a stuttered excuse like that. Joey's honeyed eyes met his in shock, not used to being read so easily, and a blush stained his cheeks in shame. Seto's smirk gentled "How do you think I felt when I visited Seth?" he pressed "But it's in the past, come on, they're waiting for us," he encouraged, suddenly stoic and commanding again.

Joey smirked a little and felt Red Eyes giggling at his failed attempt at comforting his future husband "Nice try," he snickered, Joey smacked the tiny dragon with a frown.

"Shut up Red Eyes," he scolded "He's not good at that, but I know what he means," he lectured as the black dragon rubbed the spot between his horns in annoyance.

Seto smirked a bit and asked "Was he insulting me?"

Joey stifled a laugh and nodded "I'm afraid so," he sighed dramatically, gently he urged Mai to walk again "He doesn't think your comforting skills are that great," he explained with a few more laughs here and there.

Seto shot a flat look at the dragon, who promptly dived back into the saddle at the icy glare, and sighed through his nose "I'm not good at this," he grumbled.

Joey just smiled at him "Get over it, I'm no good at talking to crowds, or following rules, think how much trouble that's going to get me into," he sighed, rubbing his head with a tormented expression.

Seto snorted and simply led the way to the stables.

The pair and their companions had arrived at dusk, so luckily most places were shut and people were at home having supper. Joey was secretly relieved that he didn't have to endure any random hero-worshipping-fans while he was here, he pulled his scarf up a little higher just encase though. It was strange to see the city so quiet, but it wasn't unusual, there were the smells of home and cooking and life everywhere, as well as comforting fire lit homes.

Blue Eyes was hanging out of her perch with wide eyes, she looked at absolutely everything there was to stare at, having never been in a big city before. Red Eyes snuck out of his saddle and muttered into Joey's ear "Your husband is scary."

Joey rolled his eyes "What was your first clue?" he mocked "And he's not my husband yet," he pointed out in a whisper, already knowing how sharp the brunette could be at times.

Red Eyes nipped his ear sharply and glared "Just don't let him bully me again Joey, that was mean," he whined, Seto couldn't understand him, but Joey didn't have to be a tell-tale!

Joey sighed "Stop whining and go take Blue Eyes on a tour," he suggested. The blond wasn't ready to tell the little dragon that, though they were the best of friends and the best team he could have wanted, his future husband was now his top priority. After exchanging vows they'd be loyal to each other first before anyone else, except maybe the Emperor but he didn't really count. But Joey wasn't ready to admit that to the dragon since he was worried about jealousy and a failing friendship … he supposed he could always ask tiny scapegoat to explain to the spirit?

Red Eyes at once perked up at the suggestion, his tail swishing like an over excited dogs "Okay!" he squawked loudly and jumped over to Seto's horse to talk to the wonderstruck dragoness chick. They exchanged a few squeaks and roars and then they flew off over the houses to explore.

Seto watched them go with a hidden smile "I'm glad they get along," he said mildly.

Joey rolled his eyes "I think Red Eyes has the hots for her," he muttered.

Seto raised an eyebrow at Joey "She's a baby," he pointed out.

Joey nodded "Tell that to Red Eyes, but they're not human Seto, maybe age isn't as important to them as it is to us," he allowed, trying to defuse the sudden protective pose Seto had. Joey knew that his loyal and adorable companion wouldn't hurt anyone, not unless provoked of course.

The General nodded absently as he thought over Joey's point, he was thinking about it too much from a human society perspective, but he'd have a word with Blue Eyes later about running off into the sunset later.

They had arrived.

Joey dismounted and glanced around as he led Mai over to the water troughs that were always full "Kinda quiet," he commented, he was sure they'd be some kind of messenger to tell them where to go, unless Seto knew the way by heart. Mai drank her fill, Joey having to pull her head away from the water a few times since she was drinking too fast and making herself sick. "Easy girl, it's not going anywhere," he soothed, rubbing her ears calmly.

Seto watched Joey's interaction and then glanced at his own steed. Once again it wasn't nearly as lively as Mai, if anything the word to describe the beast would be schooled. It drank slowly and stood still, waiting to be looked after like a pet.

Joey yelped as Mai snorted, sending water droplets all over his shirt "Mai! You did that on purpose!" he scolded, smacking the back of her head, the humans swore she was laughing, her whinnies and snorts sounded playfully gleeful. Joey scowled at her "It's a good thing I love ya or you'd be in big trouble," he warned, tying her up at a hay stand so she could eat.

Seto was trying not to smile too wide at their antics. Tiny scapegoat jumped out of the saddle and onto Joey's shoulder, bleating persistently until Joey looked where he was. The blond blinked then smiled "Hey there," he greeted.

The servant stepped forwards nervously "Hello Mr Wheeler, General Kaiba, the Emperor is waiting," he stuttered.

Seto looked cross "Why weren't you here to help us tie up?" he asked, scowling in irritation.

The servant swallowed in terror before murmuring "I have a … fear of horses," he admitted before blushing and gesturing to the exit "Please follow me sirs," he almost begged, eager to be out of the stables.

Joey followed the young servant and looked curious "Why are you scared of horses? They're great once you get used to them," he explained.

The servant shook his head "I got kicked by one as a child … I can't go near them without remembering how bad it was," he informed nervously, rubbing the centre of his chest without realising.

Joey nodded after a moment then said "They won't hurt ya, not unless you really annoy them," he sniggered as he remembered Mai shoving him over a few times when he was younger, and another time when she had kicked a man harassing their family because Joey had 'screwed up' again. That man had never bothered them again, so Joey had a hunch that Mai's kicks hurt. His goofy smile was still plastered over his face as he remembered, and Seto watched out of the corner of his eye, his eyes warmer than normal, but only slightly and only for Joey.

The servant smiled without comment and then bowed as they stopped outside a room, the door finely ornate and the feeling it gave off was one of importance and Joey found it slightly intimidating. "I'll tell the Emperor you have arrived," the servant said, slipping in through a side door, a hidden one meant for the servants so they could come and go without disrupting the nobility and guests.

Joey whistled as the door closed, it looked just like a tapestry "How many tunnels are in this place?" he wondered out loud.

Seto shrugged "I've never really bothered to look," he said dismissively, however Joey seemed fascinated.

"If I had a few of these at home I'd use them all the time," he sniggered, examining it and imagining all the pranks he could pull on Tristan if he had a few. Tiny scapegoat bleated and jumped onto a high shelf before slipping in through a mouse hole, it as a hidden yet big one, he guessed Red Eyes in his small form could easily slip through here. Joey gasped "Scapegoat! Get back here," he scolded in a whisper, standing on his tip toes to see where he had gone.

Seto sighed when he saw Joey pull himself up to the shelf with his arms, he acted like such a child sometimes "Joey, he'll come back," he sighed out, trying to get Joey to act dignified, although he knew it was a lost cause.

Joey stuck his tongue out at Seto then gasped when he saw what tiny scapegoat had found "What's this?" he wondered, putting a hand through it "A spirit tunnel?" he asked, scapegoat nodded and jumped through and back again, to show off. Joey let out a breath in wonder "So this place was built for people and spirits, that's kind cool," he admitted, dropping down now his curiosity had been sated.

Tiny scapegoat bounced onto Joey's shoulder and they returned to Seto's side.

Just as they did so the main door opened. In the throne room sat the Emperor, he was dressed finely and his face was welcoming "Please come in my friends, I'm sorry to have kept you, I just needed to talk to some people," he assured them.

Joey glanced around the room, it was spacey and twice as much so since there wasn't another soul in the room other than Solomon and themselves. The red and gold themes reminded any that this was a room inside a castle, the finery was grand and imposing if you weren't used to it, it made Joey feel a little out of place. Yet he walked with Seto as he lead the way into the room, Seto bowed at the base of the throne and Joey followed suite after a second to see what he was meant to do.

Seto stood up after a moment "We heard this was urgent you highness," he stated, getting right to the point.

Solomon stood up, looking a little worn out as his movements seemed heavy, "Yes, and I'm glad you have arrived so quickly, time is of the essence," he lead them over to a small table just to the right of the throne "I'm afraid there isn't much time spare to idle on small talk and I'd rather get this over with," he sadly admitted.

Joey felt the urge to put a hand on his shoulder or something, his hikari nature and close-knit family upbringing made him really caring, but he was sure that it was not appropriate for this situation.

Joey raised a hand and rubbed his forehead absently as he scanned the board, not realising he'd just put his ring finger on display. As he picked out the tiny labels of rivers and forests and boarders, Solomon was examining the ring.

The elderly Emperor chuckled suddenly "So who's the lucky yami?" he asked.

Joey jumped "Say what?" he responded dumbly, making Seto mentally face palm at his fiancée's slow wit.

Solomon pointed at the ring Joey had unintentionally flashed "That's a special engagement ring, is it not?" he prompted, making Joey blush a little.

"Er … yeah," he agreed shyly.

Solomon chuckled "So who's the lucky guy?" he asked again, treating Joey like a member of family than a soldier, and Joey relaxed at once. But he didn't have to answer, he felt Seto's hand slip into his own, and all his had to do to answer the question was hold back.

Solomon smiled "Congratulations, I had a feeling you'd make a fine couple," he nodded approvingly.

Joey grinned, but a part of him was nervously remembering how Vivian declared this pairing a disaster … however he was far too happy to give that witch more than a moment's thought.

Seto bowed slightly "Thank you your Highness," he said formally, though by the way his hand had relaxed on Joey's the blond could tell that he was relieved to have gained his approval. Joey was happy too, it was one of the highest praises after all.

Solomon chuckled then turned back to the map "As lovely as it would be to stay on these happy events, there is some troubling news form the Hun Empire once again," the Emperor's tone became more serious with every word he spoke.

Seto's eyes sharpened at once "The Huns are rearming?" he asked through a barely disguised hiss of anger.

Solomon nodded gravely "I spoke with the Hun King, his son Ushio had been acting on his own, and now they want revenge, I'm afraid defeating Ushio was a terrible blow to their culture and pride. Either way, it was inevitable that they'd rearm," he rambled, moving to sit on a stool that blended into the table.

Seto frowned "We can defeat them this time, the army can be mobilised within a month," he offered at once, taking the aggressive, Joey watched him for a moment before seeing the Emperor shake his head.

"No young General, this particular fix requires no violence. I intend to build a bridge between our nations so that we cannot fight again for the foreseeable future, through marriage." He picked up a little statue and placed it on the boarder "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to escort my three grandsons and Princes to the Hun capital before the week ends," he decreed.

Joey blinked and at once saw the logic, but he also instantly felt uncomfortable with the idea.

Solomon saw his reluctant posture and chuckled "What trouble's you Joey?"

Joey jumped, not used to being read so easily, mostly he was ignored whenever he went quiet. The blond hesitantly spoke "Er … well … it's just; an arranged marriage?" he asked, sounding a little sad and obviously against the idea, no matter how much sense it made. He knew that marrying someone you have met sounded daunting, but to have it actually happen must be awful.

Solomon sighed and rubbed his forehead "I also was … against the idea, having been one of the lucky members of a royal family to have found love on my own, I only wanted them to have my choice, as everyone should. But they volunteered for this, and it was the only way to avoid more war," the Emperor seemed to have aged and shrunken with sadness as he spoke.

Joey realised that the Emperor must be hurting so much over this, over the fact he'd unintentionally taken away the Princes chances at finding their soul mates. Joey bit his lip "I'm sorry sir," he mumbled, unable to say exactly what it was he was sorry for, but the words were out before he could stop them.

Solomon smiled "Apology accepted, now do you two accept? I'd trust no others for this mission," he seriously added, making the two fighters blink at the praise.

Seto bowed "Yes sir, I'll gladly take on this mission," he looked to Joey for his answer and the blond nodded in agreement, humming slightly.

Solomon smiled "Thank you both. Now in preparation for this, whatever you need shall be given, troops, provisions, transport," he rambled off, picking up a piece of paper to record whatever Seto requested.

Seto was thinking deeply, Joey could tell he was analysing this mission from every angle and every perspective he could, the uncanny absent look in his eyes was a huge hint that this man was in deep thought. Joey wondered if he'd need pinching to answer the Emperor's question, however the young General woke up a moment later, "Alright, the Hun empire shares the western coast, the closest one, if we had a ship we could take their main river to just outside the Capital city in plenty of time," he explained his thoughts, pointing to several points on the map.

Joey leaned over Seto's arm, looking at it and silently listening to Seto's reasoning. "That river's not very wide," he thought aloud, earning a few glances "I mean … er … we can't have a huge ship going into the Capital, that'll attract attention and some people might get the wrong idea about the mission."

Seto's eyes widened "They might think that we're attacking if we take a battle ship … or any imperial ship," he realised.

Solomon nodded seriously, having not thought of this before. "I see … you want to disguise one of our ships?"

Seto shook his head "The design is too recognisable," he regretfully informed his audience. "We need money to hire an independent ship, one that's small enough to blend in, but large enough to carry some weapons, and to live on for a week." The General put a finger on a small plot of land "If we have the Princes taken to my manor first, I can arrange some transportation from the nearby port for the next day," he proposed.

Solomon hummed thoughtfully "I can give you some money to hire and buy whatever you need, and how many soldiers would you like to take?" he pressed on.

Joey felt a smile spread over his face as he thought of the yami soldiers he had trained with, back when he was pretending to be a yami himself, Atem, Marik and Bakura had all been his closets trainee's and then later his friends. They were the ones who stood by him when he was revealed as a hikari, they also believed him when he insisted Ushio hadn't died in the avalanche, and finally they had followed him and his 'mad' plan to save the Emperor. Joey sighed slightly, he couldn't have asked for a better trio of friends.

The moment he thought that he blinked and grinned "Three," he said at once.

The Emperor, the General and the little spirit all looked at him in shock. But Joey just smiled "If we're trying to be secretive, we'll only need three others," he said, he could tell by the glint in Seto's eye that they were on the same wavelength again.

Solomon looked confused and then asked "Three platoons?" he asked, wanting his grandsons to be as protected as possible.

Seto shook his head "Three men, this mission has to be as secret and unrecognisable as possible," he clarified with a knowing smirk in Joey's direction.

Solomon looked uneasy, he leaned on his hands for a moment "As the Emperor I trust you, but as a Grandfather I beg of you to protect my family as much as you can," he insisted, half persuading and half accepting.

Joey nodded "We understand sir, but you know these men, they helped us rescue you. The Prince's will be in good hands," he explained, seeing the Emperor relax as he realised just who they meant. The hikari then looked thoughtful "Now if only we knew where to find them …"

Seto chuckled as the Emperor finished jotting down any extra supplies "I have an idea."

Marik yelped as he met the pavement, Atem and Bakura just managed to step over him without tripping, but they still staggered a good few paces before regaining their balance. Marik got off his face and glared at the brown haired woman standing in the doorway. She had a hand on her temple, massaging a pounding head ache with a scowl "Gods and spirits, I've found wives for hundreds of yamis before you, but even the Divine lights themselves couldn't make love matches for you!" she snapped "Come back when you've got substance!" she finished, slamming her doors shut.

Atem and Bakura exchanged a shocked glance, they'd just been thrown out of a matchmaker's house. While they weren't serious about relationships just yet, they were the age where you'd at least visit and get advice and options, but something had gone a little wrong in this case.

Marik kicked the door "Well that's a fine way to treat Japan's hero's!" he shouted, only to get a pot thrown at him from the upper window.

Bakura grabbed Marik's elbow and took him away from the door, since he looked about ready to break it down and set it on fire. "What's her deal?" Bakura grumbled, thinking Teá was being a bit snobbish, "All I wanted was a date with a guy who'd think I was a battle god," he thought, thinking that his simplified version of his ideal date would be easy to find, since dreams seldom come true first time. In their minds each yami had a long list of characteristics that their ideal hikari should have, but, being so new and a bit full of themselves, they simplified their ideas down and came across as a bit shallow.

Atem agreed with Bakura "And I only wanted someone who'd be fun, beautiful and not taller than me," he sighed, hating his height at times like this.

Marik crossed his arms in a pout "I just wanted a guy who'd like it rough, and who'd be a bit of a Masochist," he grumbled, drooling slightly as his mind went into bondage mode.

Bakura frowned "Well who need her!" he flipped off in her direction then turned to his friends "The only one who can find lovers for us, is us," he summarised.

Marik grinned "Yeah! Well I don't need her to be all smug and snooty," he growled, spitting at her house before stalking away.

Bakura smirked "Got a plaque right here, that says I kicked Hun booty," he waved his medal around his neck, making it flash in people's eyes to get their attention.

Atem sighed, not really
thinking along their lines and feeling a bit down from that experience "We have everything we'd dreamed we'd find when we came back from war," he said lowly.

The trio chorused, each with different levels of enthusiasm "Everything but: the one worth fighting for!"

Marik smacked Bakura's head "Hey, suck in your gut, there's a one worth fighting for," he pointed at a hikari selling tea in a market stall.

Bakura shoved him "I think he wants you to go over," he chuckled darkly, seeing the boy wave at them in a friendly way. As Marik swaggered over Bakura tapped Atem on the shoulder "If Marik can get someone to like being smacked by his whip," he muttered, seeing Marik try to hit on the boy.

Atem laughed "Then he'd really better just propose quick," he agreed, watching in fits of laughter as the boy threw the hot tea pot at Marik to ward him away, him and his whip.

Marik sat next to Bakura and Atem as they stopped near a bar, Bakura getting them drinks, "Well I gotta say, based on today I'm cranky," Marik grumbled, wringing out his soaked shirt as his friends downed a few saké's.

Atem sighed "I'll just spend my life with you two," he pessimistically muttered.

Bakura echoed him "Pass the saké," he shuddered, downing another two shots before anyone could stop him.

Marik stood up and pulled a chair out from under someone so he could sit with his friends "Still there's no one there to steal my chair."

"And twirl around the floor," Atem shoved Marik's head down as the ejected man tried to land a punch to the back of Marik's head in revenge for taking his seat.

Bakura, Marik and Atem were suddenly all involved in a, seemingly spontaneous, bar fight that was rivalling the level of the one first day of training camp. Each thought, as they beat up their aggressors; I wish I had, a one worth fighting for.

Atem escaped the crowd and thought, I would be true, to a one worth fighting-

Bakura jumped out of a window and dusted himself off, I'd have a curfew, for a one worth fighting-

Marik looked at a guy he was about to punch and growled "I'd even kiss you, for a one worth fighting-" he cried out as he was thrown out of the second building within a five minute period. "For …" he wheezed out at last. Atem and Bakura echoing his thought before helping him up.

Suddenly a little black blur ran up to them and pounced on Atem's chest, squawking loudly. Atem get out his own form of surprised squawk before realising he recognised the creature clinging to him "Red Eyes?" he exclaimed in shock.

The little dragon winked and looked over his shoulder before flying to the shoulder of a blond hikari with golden eyes.

Atem's eyes widened as he took in the familiar features "Joey!" he laughed, breaking into a jog to join his fellow hero. Bakura and Marik copied his yelled greeting and soon Joey was in a tight hug of arms. "Where have you been? It's been so dull without you around," Atem patted him on the back as he tried to regain the breath that was squeezed out of him.

The blond grinned at last and put an arm around Bakura and Atem "It's so great to have you back, and it seems you can get into just as much trouble as me," he laughed, having witness Marik's fight starter behaviour. The yamis just laughed it off and kept walking where Joey was steering them "And I came here looking for you," Joey explained.

Bakura raised an eyebrow "I didn't steal anything and not return it did I?" he asked, wondering if he had accidently forgotten to return something of Joey's.

Joey shook his head with a laid back laugh "Na, nothing like that, it's just that the Emperor has a mission for us, and we were wondering – if you're not too busy of course – if you'd like to tag along and help out?" he mockingly invited.

Marik's eyes lit up "Will it be dangerous?" he asked, leaning forwards like someone on the edge of their seat in anticipation.

Joey shrugged "Most likely," he allowed.

Bakura chipped in "Saving all of Japan?"

Joey snorted "Oh definitely."

"We're in!" the trio cheered, making Joey laugh and Red Eyes bounce on his shoulder.

"Well I'm glad, Mr pain in the ass didn't think you'd agree so easily," Joey explained, quickly breaking away from the three bronze skinned yami's and standing next to a young General who was minding a group of horses.

Bakura smirked "Oh? Back under his rule again? No wonder he sent Joey to ask," he said loudly, making many snort and Seto glare.

The brunette frowned down at the three "You're the best for this job, and we're going to do it right, even if I have to make you sweat blood," he stoically threatened.

Joey rolled his eyes and took his hand, Red Eyes jumping over to join Blue Eyes on one of the horses. The blond smiled cutely up at Seto "They're in, don't scare them off," he scolded. Seto's eyes softened very slightly as he linked his fingers through Joey's.

Marik's eyes widened comically "You're together!" he shrieked, pointing at their joined hands like a deer in the headlights. Joey's ring caught the light innocently as he moved to scratch the back of his head nervously; would they approve? He was hoping they would, they were some of his best friends after all.

Bakura smirked "Great, now I've got the both of you to annoy on this trip, and to boot you're lovey-dovey too," he pretended to complain.

Joey glared, his eyes filled with angry fire "I'm not lovey-dovey! That's sissy stuff," he gagged, Seto silently agreeing, while he wasn't against being affectionate to Joey, he wasn't one of those silly couples who got starry eyed every time they locked eyes.

Atem chuckled "I never thought you'd get together, one of you would have argued it out of the other's mind," he teased, but then put a hand on Joey's shoulder "Congrats, you'll be great together," he said lowly, out of earshot of Marik and Bakura.

Joey smiled gratefully, thankful that they all seemed to accept it in their own unique ways. Marik was mocking and teasing like Bakura was, and Atem, ever formal and direct, gave his approval too. No one was upset with their relationship, and Joey finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seto handed each a horse and said "We can't talk about it in the open, but our mission starts at the Palace tonight, wherever you live, go home and pack a few things and be at the Palace," he commanded, pulling Joey up onto his horse as well.

Atem, who had been staring at Blue Eyes in fascination, nodded at the pair "We'll be there," he accepted the horse for himself and pulled himself up. "What kind of travel should we be expecting?" he asked, curiously.

Joey snickered at Marik's failed attempt to get on his horse. The Egyptian threw a stone at him from his place on the ground. Red Eyes smacked it away with his tail and glared at Marik, as if to say; try that again, I dare you. Joey soothed him with a scratch on the horns and said "Quick and discreet with any luck, but don't go too light on weapons either," he said, watching Seto out of the corner of his eye, just to see if he would interrupt and correct him on something.

Seto just indicated his head when the trio looked at him for confirmation. "Don't be late, the Emperor's counting on you," he threatened before turning his horse down the street and spurring it into a trot back to the Palace to prepare themselves for tonight.

Joey had his hands linked around Seto's waist "How'd you know that they'd be in this district?" he asked as they rode away, Joey had left Mai at the Palace because he wasn't sure if two horses could get through the crowded streets, and he wasn't objecting to holding Seto close if he was being honest. Something that the two dragons had laughed about for ages, it was cute.

Seto chuckled lowly, if Joey hadn't of been holding on so closely he'd of never realised he was laughing. The brunette smirked "That's for me to know and you to never understand," he replied, making Joey pout and start his hour long pester for Seto to explain this answer.

Yugi: Thanks for reading everyone! Amme didn't want to come out from her hiding place, so we'll have to fill you in.

Joey: She didn't want the Yami's singing all the song redux, just the parts that wouldn't put them out of character so much, but next chapter will make them a little more cheerful, fingers crossed.

Ryou: More reviews, nice long ones, should make Amme write the next chapter faster, so please send her support, and see you next time.
