Author's notes: I'm back and here is the long awaited, mating ritual between Toshiro and my OC.

Toshiro: You she's based off of you so you might as well say that it's you, love. -starts to read the chapter-

FireWing Pegasus: You're just happy that we get our own chapter. Also, thank you MMMG for helping me figure out the mating ritual. You were a big help, and thank you The Queen of Water for being my 50th reviewer. Toshiro, love, do the disclaimer.

Toshiro: -still reading the chapter- Yeah yeah, Hashira owns nothing but her OC, Enjoy.

Two months pass, and everyone is getting ready for the mating ritual between Toshiro and me, and the wedding between Yugi and Atemu. "That should cover the food." Joey says as he looks at Yugi and me. I look at the food and see a variety of food. "Good, I can't wait to get this done. Our birthday is tomorrow." Toshiro looks at me and says, "It'll be okay." I sigh and say, "It would if our protective fathers weren't smothering us and Tea would stop bitching."

As it came close to the mating ritual, our fathers came and started to see over everything. My dad was also keeping an eye on my mate. Tea was always trying to shoot dirty looks at me, which were returned by Toshiro. I even met a young girl who keeps lusting after Yugi.

Flashback: "Hey Yugi, I am surprised no one keeps bothering you." I say with curiosity. Yugi sighs and says, "There is one." I look at him and say, "Who." He sighs again and says, "You the head of the council, Arthur. It's his granddaughter, Rebecca. She is very pushy." I scoff and say, "Let's see her try and get past me." "Yugi!" We turn to see a young girl with blond hair and blue eyes running toward us. She latches onto Yugi's arm and says, "Yugi, I was looking for you, who is this girl?" "I am Hashira, soul mate of Toshiro, bodyguard of the royal family." She says, "I am Lady Rebecca, stay away from my Yugi." "I told you Rebecca, to lay off of my fiancé." We turn and see Atemu and Toshiro giving Rebecca glares. Toshiro says, "Rebecca, do you want me to tell your grandpa that you are trying to seduce Prince Yugi, again." She sees, Atemu's glare, Toshiro's glare and my glare and runs away. Yugi says, "Thanks." We all nod. :End Flashback

We had been keeping Tea and Rebecca away, Tea even earned two weeks of isolation, the two weeks of silence. Ever Tea was found out pregnant, no pranks were allowed on her. We had went to Mahad and learned what to do. "I'm excited, we get to be mates." I say to Toshiro who nuzzles me.

The next day, we are preparing for the ritual. I am wearing the same thing I wore for Atemu's birthday, and I am finishing last minute preparations on my gift to Toshiro. My father comes in and neighs, "Ready?" I nod and have my present in my hand wrapped up. He neighs, "Then let's go."

He walks next to me and we come upon an isle way. I look ahead and see all my friends on the sides of the isle and Mahad, Toshiro, and a huge Blizzard Dragon right next to him. I walk forward and stand on the other side of Mahad. Mahad says, "We have gathered here today, to witness the mating ritual between, Hashira of Egypt and Toshiro of Japan. First, we release a few drops of your blood into each other's mouths." Isis comes with a small decorated knife and has the blade just lightly scratch our finger to where we draw blood. Toshiro and I simultaneously stick our fingers into each other's mouths and taste the few drops. It tastes horrible, but I put up with it for the ritual. Mahad then says, "You are now blood bonded, now for the magic bond." Toshiro and I nod and send some of our magic between us and it swirls around into one ball of magic and the re-enters us. I feel Toshiro's magic combining with mine and it feels great. Mahad then says, "Your magic is now forever bonded. You will be able to connect to each other on the mental scale, a mind link between you, so to speak. Now you must bestow upon each other the gifts you have made so that even is separated you will always remember each other. Toshiro and I nod and take out our gifts. We unwrap them, revealing what they are. My gift to Toshiro is a necklace made from rubies, gold, and topaz, and the ruby stone in the center opens up to reveal a tiny portrait of me inside. I look at Toshiro's and see that it is also a necklace, only made from, sapphires, turquoise and diamonds. I see that the center sapphire opens up to reveal a tiny portrait of him inside. We move toward each other and attach the jewelry to each other. Mahad then turns to the crowd and says, "The two half shadows have now committed to each other. May they be forever together in love. You may now return to the party."

We see everyone cheering and our fathers say bye and return to the domain of the beasts. Everyone comes up to us and congratulates us. Yugi says, "Congratulations Hashira." I says, "Thank you, but the ritual won't be complete till tonight." Yugi says, "Didn't need to know that, Hashira." I says, "I have to fulfill the end of the ritual and fulfill my end of a bet with Toshiro." Yugi asks, "What about?" I sigh and say, "Whether or not you're from Japan." Yugi stares at me jaw dropped and Toshiro grabs my arm and says with a smirk, "It's time Uni-Shira." I blush as Sugoroku announces the end of the party. Toshiro then starts to drag me to his chambers.

When we finally get to his chambers, he locks the door, and proceeds to take me as gently as possible.

The next morning, I wake up, in human form, naked, and Toshiro is also, in human form, naked, and still asleep. I blush and attempt to get up and my back just starts to scream. Toshiro then wakes up and says, "Uni-Shira, my back hurt just now." "Drago-Shiro, do you think this is what Mahad meant when he said that can now connect on the mental level? I think he mentioned something about a mind link." Toshiro thinks and then says, "Let's try to connect to each other with our minds." We sit in front of each other and concentrate. /Drago-Shiro, can you hear me?/ \Yeah, I can. Can you hear me, Uni-Shira?\ I open my eyes at the same time he does, and nod. He then says, "That can be useful one day." I nod and then realise something. I say, "Drago-Shiro, I think it also allows pain to be felt through the link." Toshiro looks at me, and then pinches himself. I wince and say, "Ow, that hurt. I guess we proved my theory."

He nods and then asks, "So, why did your back hurt?" I sigh and say, "Well, last night was my first time, and since you took me like 4 times last night, I know my back will hurt and that I will be limping." Toshiro gets out of bed, making me blush, and grabs me, making me yelp in surprise. He then takes my to the bathroom, and gets a bath ready. He says, "This will help your limp and your back a little, my little flame horse. " I blush again as we wash ourselves clean.

After the bath, we get back into our clothes, change our clothes back to how we like them, and then put our necklaces on. I look at Toshiro and say,, "Next, all we have to do is Yugi's and Ryou's wedding." He nods and we go out to get ready for the day, happy that we are finally mated.

Author's notes: Toshiro: I like this chapter. -smirks with a barely noticeable blush-

FireWing Pegasus: Of course you would. -Momo walks in, ignores the couple, reads chapter, slightly blushes while crying her eyes out and runs away-

Toshiro: Well at least she's leaving me alone. -puts hand on locket-

FireWing Pegasus: Yep, next chapter will be Yugi's wedding. -puts hand on own locket- also, if any of you are not happy about it looking like I was gonna type a lemon, then as I said in an earlier chapter, I will never write a lemon. Sorry if you are not happy.

Toshiro: Please review so we can get more chapters like this one. -smirks and pounces on author-
