Erin's POV

"I'd say it's about time you two got together" Mokuba greeted me and Seto when we entered the bridge together. He wore the biggest smirk I'd ever seen.

Seto chuckled and ruffled his little brother's hair.

"So what's the deal with the tower?" I asked my mate nodding to the tower outside. The blimp landed while Seto and I made our way to the bridge.

"This place used to be the site of the original Kaiba Corp, but I tore it down when I took over and made that tower as a symbol of moving forward," Seto explained.

"Like a phoenix rising from the ashes" Mokuba added.

"The next duel will determine who faces who in the next few rounds" Seto went on before giving me a glance. "And I intend to have us face off Kitsune"

"I made a promise I would earn my duel with you my Zaldrizes and I intend on keeping it, besides if I faced Yugi my butt would get kicked, not even the Valyrian Deck can withstand the power of the God cards"

"Indeed, we cannot," Balerion agreed.

Ishizu's POV

Now that the Battle City Finals were back underway I could focus on trying to save Marik from his dark half.

"Sister"

I froze when I heard Marik's dark half call me. I turned around and glared at him.

"You are not my brother" I reminded him.

"Where is Odion?"

"I'm not telling you where I hid him"

"You have such bravery, my dear, but yet you are still fearful of me," he sneered, and he got closer.

"You should be fearful of me," a new voice hissed. "Get away from her"

Zane's POV

"What the hell?! How are you awake from the Shadow Realm?!" Dark Marik demanded.

"Do I really need to remind you I am also half Nine-Tailed Fox? You underestimated the powers we wield human now I won't say it again, get away from my mate"

To prove a point, I wasn't f**king around. My silvery nine-tails appeared behind me as my eyes turned gold.

For the first time, Marik's dark half looked fearful, and after giving Ishizu a glare, he exited the room. Once he was gone I let my aura fade away and then approached Ishizu.

"Are you harmed?"

My beautiful scribe shook her head before suddenly hugging me. I blushed before I returned the embrace.

"Welcome back" she replied.

I closed my eyes and let myself enjoy this private moment we shared. A few minutes passed before we eventually pulled apart.

"I think it's time to reunite with your sister"

I smirked at her.

Erin's POV
Outside

"Alright," Seto addressed the others. "This island we're standing on is the original location of the Kaiba Corporation but I tore it down, and that"

He nodded at the duel tower behind him.

"That tower is where the final duels will take place and I intend to face off against Erin and Yugi on top of it"

"Look Rich Boy!" Joey yelled. "In case you forgotten I'm in this tournament too, and you won't be getting last me, and I'll duel so many circles around you, you won't know your trap cards from your graveyard!"

My Zaldrizes only smirked.

"Must you insist on embarrassing yourself Wheeler? You should have never been in my tournament"

I did a mental eye roll at the human males bickering.

"So that tower is where the final duels are going to happen? Consider me impressed"

My heart almost stopped when I heard my brother's voice and immediately I turned to see Zane wearing a smirk with a smiling Ishizu beside him.

Kaiba's POV

Erin and Zane looked at one another for a few seconds before she broke into tears and hurriedly flung herself into Zane's arms.

Erin's POV

Zane caught me and he held me close as I wept uncontrollably in his arms.

"I'm back, sis, and I'm not going anywhere this time," my big brother vowed. "Sorry I kept you waiting"

He rubbed my back and that helped calm me down. He then put me back onto my feet and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"Come on guys, let's give them a few minutes," Tea suggested, and the others agreed while Seto and Mokuba remained behind. Ishizu gave Zane's hand a squeeze before heading towards the tower.

"I'm pleased to see you awake," Seto told Zane.

"You have my thanks for keeping an eye on my sister Kaiba"

Seto shot me a smirk before returning his gaze to Zane again.

"Your sister has proven she can handle herself without me, not that I don't mind protecting her when necessary"

"Don't tease me, my Zaldrizes," I growled, feeling my face turn red.

"They're together now, finally," Mokuba interjected.

"Kid"

Seto blushed a little while Mokuba shot his older sibling a teasing grin.

"Oh, I already could tell they were," Zane chuckled before his tone changed. "So you must know what we are then"

"Erin showed me her Nine-Tailed Fox form as well as explained how I'm her mate," Seto continued. He then came to my side and intertwined his right hand with my left. "And I've accepted her for who she is"

"Then you know a Nine-Tailed Fox's first love is their one and only, so I'll give you this advice once Kaiba, hurt my sister and there will be hell to pay"

Instead of getting offended Seto chuckled before replying.

"You don't need to worry" he promised. He then affectionately eyed me. "Erin is the only woman I want and she's already made it clear she doesn't share"

At hearing that Zane smiled.

"Then welcome to the family, though I gotta warn you, man, us foxes can draw in some crazy stuff"

"I can handle anything that throws itself my way, Erin is mine as I am hers, and anyone who touches Mokuba well let's just say Erin won't like it, he's important to her as well"

I growled in agreement and Mokuba blushed.

"Now that's over and done with if I recall correctly there's a duel that needs to happen"

Seto liked hearing that, and together, the four of us headed to the tower.
