Author's notes: I'm back and very happy with chapter and so is Toshiro.

Toshiro: Damn right, and I like being here with Hashira reading her story, rather than being in the goddamn office around the smell of sake with Rangiku and Momo pestering me. Momo is about as bad as Tea when it comes to seducing me only she is not nearly as evil and she purposely puts herself in danger for me to rescue her, I only want a sibling like relationship with her. -finishes rant fuming-

Firewing Pegasus: I'll call Atemu and we will get Momo away from you. Momo will be so distracted by the pharaoh's leather and muscles, she will leave you alone, Drago-Shiro. ;).

Toshiro: -sighs- Okay, Uni-Shira. Hashira does not own anything except for her OC, Enjoy the chapter.

Toshiro and I follow our noses and Kuriboh, in shadow creature form, the four guards following us, before our highly sensitive ears pick up sounds and smell Yugi and the others close by. All of a sudden, we hear screaming that sounds like Yugi and the others, and the volume of the noise hurt Toshiro's and my ears. "What was that?" Otogi stops. "Someone's being hurt." Raphael says. He is the one with blond hair and blue eyes. "Sounds like more than one person." Alister says, red hair and gray eyes moving as he glances around. /It's Yugi and the others, I can hear them screaming in pain./ I say with worry evident in my huge eyes. "That's it." Valon growls as he blue eyes darken and his hair falling more over his face than normal. "They are dead. No one, and I mean no one lays a hand on our prince and not get punished for it." /I agree, after all I am the bodyguard of the japanese royal family./ Toshiro says, flicking his forked tongue to try and pinpoint where Yugi and the others are.

"Kuri." Everyone turns as Kuriboh growls. It has balls of steam shooting out of where it's ears should be, and looks more like a bull ready to charge than a cute and cuddly teddy bear. "Whoa." Alister stares in shock. "Is it supposed to do that?" "Nope." Otogi says. "Kuriboh is usually calm. But under the given circumstances, I can understand why he's upset." "How did you know that?" Raphael asks. "I read." Otogi replies. I nicker and say, /Valon, you won't get the chance, whenever he does that, bad things happen to whatever he is mad at./ Without warning, Kuriboh charges, and multiplies. There are dozens of little balls of brown fur all over the place, and they are all heading towards the same house. It is very run down. A place that most people would avoid. I sniff the air and can smell Yugi and the others. No wonder our friends have been brought there.

/Guys, I smell Yugi and the others, but I also smell four other people. Luckily, Kuriboh can knock that house down./ I say with a very horsey smirk on my muzzle. "That house is poorly built." Valon admits. "But not enough for a swarm of Kuriboh to knock it over." /I wouldn't be too sure./ I say. /Just watch./ Everyone watches as some of the Kuriboh ram into the doorway. They explode and knock the door right off its hinges. "Whoa." Alister stares at the open doorway. "They explode on contact with something?" /If they see what they're aiming for as a threat./ Toshiro elaborates. "That works." Valon says as he walks through the door.

"Holy…" Otogi says as we see the bouncy Kuribohs. "Uh," Joey catches our attention. "Four wounded chained to a wall here." "We'll get you out of here." Valon says as he finds the keys on the huge man's belt. Toshiro and I go to human form. "You'll be out of the chains in no time my prince." Toshiro says as he unlocks Yugi's chains while Raphael does Joey. "Thanks whoever you are." Yugi sighs as he leaned against me to keep himself from falling over. I can tell that he is extremely weak.

Joey looks at Raphael and says, "Thanks Raphael." "How did you know his name?" Alister asks as Joey pitches forwards into Raphael's arms after the chains are released, showing he is more injured than he is letting on. "They removed the memory blocks they placed on our minds ten years ago." Ryou explains as he is unchained. "So we know our past now." Malik grimaces as he is undone. "One second." Ryou sighs as he calls Mystic Elf out. "What!" Raphael gasps. "This is Sihhra." Ryou says. "She's a Mystic Elf and has the ability to heal people." "Really?" Valon watches in fascination as Ryou's injuries are healed. "Yes." Ryou sighs as he stretches his now injury free body. "Oh," Yugi sighs as his injuries disappear. "Sweet relief." "No kidding." Joey agrees as he steadies himself.

"Thanks Ryou." Malik grins. "Now I have to do one very small thing." Without warning he tackles Otogi to the ground. "What the…?" Alister stares at the two tussling on the ground, while Toshiro and I burst out laughing. "When those two would wrestle," Joey explains, "Otogi always came out on top. Malik swore he-" "Ha!" Malik's cheer makes Joey stop. "Told you I would pin you." "Yeah, yeah." Otogi rolls his eyes. "Now would you get off me? We need to get you to the palace." "Works for me." Ryou says with a smile as he recalls Sihhra, but very quickly becomes down fallen. "What's wrong?" Valon asks. "I don't know if any of my family is still alive." Ryou whispers. "None of us do." "They're all alive mate." Valon grins, picking the huge man up by the ankles. "Amane, mom, and dad are still kicking." "Ishizu and Odion are okay." Raphael says before Malik can ask as he drags one of the twins up the steps, obviously relishing the sound of the back of his head hitting each piece of wood. "Oh good." Malik sighs. "Serenity?" Joey asks. "Your sister, mother, and father are still with us." Alister answers Joey, dragging the other twin the same way.

"And your grandfather is still ruling us justly." Toshiro tells Yugi as Otogi ties up the puppeteer and tosses him over his shoulder like a sack of flour. "After all I am the bodyguard of the japanese family." "Yes." Yugi whispers, and then grins. "Wait until Tea hears this! She'll pitch a fit." I giggle and say, "Damn right she will, Toshiro she has yet to even have a look at your eyes and she will be humiliated and probably scared." "Who's Tea?" Otogi asks as we exit the house, toss the prisoners in a cart, pay the merchant, Toshiro and I go to shadow creature forms to pull the cart, and head back towards the palace. /Just a bitch that's hell bent on marrying Prince Atemu, and murdering me./ I answer. /And I can tell you now, it's not happening./ Toshiro adds. "Amen to that." Yugi agrees.

10 minutes later, we safely arrive back at the palace. "You kids and you're adventures." Isis says as the gate starts to open. "Oh, very funny." Malik grumbles. "Yugi!" Atemu races to his fiancé and pulls him into a tight hug. "Thank the gods. I was scared I had lost you." "I'm fine" Yugi whispers as he buries his face into Atemu's kimono. "The baby is safe as well. Sihhra made sure of it." "Good." Atemu chokes out, not trusting his voice to say more. Toshiro and I go back to human form, look around to see Ryou, Joey, and Malik also being held in hugs from Bakura, Seto, and Marik, who are whispering small comforts in their ears, look at each other and crack up laughing, before pulling each other into a hug and a kiss.

"Where is everyone?" Yugi asks as his eyes scan the courtyard. "Waiting inside." Isis replies. "And we should join them." "Okay." Yugi whispers. "Atemu, I'm kinda scared I'm going to send my grandfather to his grave when he sees me." "It won't happen." Atemu whispers back. "He will stare a few seconds before pulling you into a tight hug." "When did you start predicting the future?" Yugi teases. "It's a natural reaction." Atemu explains. "I was kidnapped from the palace when I was 10. My father had the same reaction when I returned to safely by myself." I blink and say to Atemu, "You got kidnapped and I wasn't told about this." Everyone starts laughing and I keep blinking until Toshiro kisses me again. "I'd get ready for some pancakes if I were you." Isis says as the guards open the doors to the throne room. "Huh?" Joey, Malik, and Marik all look at the High Priestess confused.
