Summary: Sequel to Retrieving Destiny. Months after their fateful trip to Egypt, the reunited soul mates continue to adjust to their new life in Domino as well as the modern teens' impending graduation. Things appear to be going well until a strange series of seemingly random attacks and bizarre accidents begin plaguing both the lights and their protectors, forcing their lovers into action. In order to protect their mates, the ancient beings must now determine not only the fate of the "lost" city of Atlantis, but also their entire species! The race is on to find the answers before they all face annihilation at the hands of an unknown enemy.
Author Note: Oh look, there's plot hiding in this chapter. *grins*

Seated in the nearly empty auditorium alongside members of the drama club, Yuugi smiled as he watched Anzu dance across the stage. He wasn't a member of the drama club, but he Anzu, Mana, and Atem were going out shopping after Anzu got through with practice, so he was waiting for her to finish rehearsal.
As far back as grade school, Yuugi had loved when their class would perform plays with dance numbers in them almost as much as Anzu did. During every performance the graceful dancer came alive and it was in those times that he was able to watch his oldest friend shine. This year the senior drama members were performing for their graduation and much to his delight, Anzu had one of the lead roles.
x-x-x-x-x
"Wow Anzu-chan, you guys have gotten so much better! The routine has really improved!" Yuugi gushed excitedly to the pretty brunette.
"Thanks Yuugi!" she replied, blushing modestly. The small teen had always been her biggest supporter and his vote of confidence really made her feel better. She knew that despite being her oldest friend, Yuugi had never been anything less than honest with her about her performances.
"I can't wait to see your first costume rehearsal!" he continued on, practically skipping beside her in his joy. Anzu grinned down at her friend and ruffled his hair fondly.
"Well, you'll have to wait another couple of weeks just like everyone else," she said, giving her friend a playful wink.
"Aw, Anzu!"
x-x-x-x-x
Outside, Atem and Mana were waiting by the front gate, looking a bit harried from all the attention they were receiving from the small gathering of fans they'd acquired.
Since their arrival, the young yami and magician had been approached by numerous classmates of their lovers. Much to both their irritation, it wasn't merely the curiosity of seeing potential new students that had caught their attention. Rather it was physical attraction that had drawn them to approach the two Egyptians.
The two had even been asked out on several dates, all of which they had politely turned down, but their refusals seemed to be falling on deaf ears, as the requests kept coming. Being such a bright and vibrant personality Mana's natural charm drew in even more attention than Atem, so the young magician bore the brunt of the inquiries directed at the pair.
Atem on the other hand, with his dark aura, exotic skin tone, and unusually colored eyes had attracted what could only be called a small "harem" of sighing, fawning girls. The former pharaoh was getting increasingly flustered as he continued to politely refuse their advances while insisting that he was already spoken for.
This was how Anzu and Yuugi found them.
Making use of her natural-born grace, Anzu easily slipped between the crowd of boys to rejoin her wife. Reaching her side, the brunette was rewarded with a cheerful cry of her name before Mana glomped her and planted a sweet welcoming kiss to her lips. Around them the boys began to catcall and whistle at the embracing women, to which Anzu calmly raised a single middle finger in response.
Shaking his head at the scene, Yuugi turned his attention to his own floundering lover. Knowing it would be impossible to reach him otherwise, Yuugi used his small size to his advantage, slipping and weaving between the horde of girls surrounding his dark.
((Hang on love, I'm coming,)) he sent telepathically to his beloved.
((Thank the gods, ari. I was beginning to think I would have to resort to drastic measures,)) Atem replied, gasping as Yuugi abruptly popped up in front of him.
"Miss me?" the amethyst-eyed hikari asked, twining around his beloved like a vine.
Amidst the indignant yells of "Hey!" and cries of, "What are you doing Mutou?" Yuugi turned slightly, just enough so he could give them a feline smirk before pulling a very willing Atem down into a deep kiss, the former pharaoh purring and eagerly crushing his lover to his chest.
When they finally separated, a lightly panting Atem smirked at the surrounding girls, "As I told you before ladies, I am already spoken for."
With that declaration the crowd finally dispersed with just a few final disgusted groans and disappointed moans.
"Well, now that that's over I guess we can get going ne?" Anzu stated cheerfully, wrapping an arm around Mana's waist.
"ari, I hope you will not be offended if I do not wait for you here in the future." Atem stated, casting a wary glance back at the handful of girls who had not yet left the area.
Yuugi giggled and gave Atem a quick kiss on his cheek. "I understand completely, koi." ((You can wait down the block for us next time if you'd like.))
((Thank you ari)) Atem replied, mentally sighing in relief.
Mana giggled as well and shared a grin with Anzu, the two women having a very good idea what the yami and hikari had been talking about.
x-x-x-x-x
Waving goodbye to Mokuba, Honda, and Otogi, Jonouchi grinned as he stepped away from the limo door, closing it on the three remaining occupants. Seto, Seth, and Jou himself were going out to dinner tonight and Jonouchi had thought it would be a good idea for them to take a nice, romantic walk beforehand.
Excited at the prospect of spending time outside with his lovers, Seth had jumped at the chance and with Katsuya's help, had easily cajoled his hikari into joining them. It hadn't taken much effort their part since, contrary to his pale appearance, Seto loved nature and spent as much time as possible outside.
Having no particular destination in mind, the trio walked in a companionable silence, enjoying the sights and sounds around them without a care. Eventually they began talking about their futures: It was already a given that Seto would be going to university to get a business degree, but Jonouchi had yet to make up his mind. The blond had far too many interests and had been unable to find one that he would be comfortable doing for the rest of his life. In the meantime, he would take the general education classes Domino University required.
Eventually the trio came upon a large pond and stopped to admire the sunlight glittering on the surface.
"My loves," Seth spoke, getting their attention, "We have spoken of your future schooling, but we have yet to discuss when we would start to have children."
"WHAT?!" Seto exclaimed while Jou merely blinked in response. Neither teen had been expecting that question, but Jou wasn't nearly as shocked as Seto. With his memories as Jono he was more surprised that the yami hadn't brought it up sooner.
"Is it really so surprising that I wish to see both my beautiful akhu and husband heavy with child?"
Recovering, Jou smiled wryly at his husband. "Not to me, but-"
"Not a chance in hell!" Seto blurted out, glaring at both his lovers.
"But nhy hm-ntr, do you not want children of your own?" Seth asked, genuinely confused and a little hurt by his light's reaction. Never before had he heard of an akhu that did not want children or their own. It was one of the most precious gifts that they were blessed with, something that both halves yearned for, so why would Seto refuse?
Eyes closed, Seto shook his head briefly before fixing the priest with determined eyes. "It's not a matter of wanting; it's a matter of security. Magic has been lost to most of humanity for centuries, so if any male were to get pregnant it would create a media sensation should the pregnancy be discovered.
"Someone else may be able to hide a pregnancy, but I never could. I'm the CEO of a powerful, international company. If I suddenly gained weight or dropped out of public for nine months and then came back with a child, people would start to question it. Then investigators would dig and dig until they found out why."
Ignoring the sharp pang of longing for something he could never have, Seto continued, "Eventually, someone would let their guard down and then we all could be exposed to a world that isn't ready to have us back.
"I can't- no, I won't risk that happening," the brunet continued softly, blue eyes glimmering with tears he refused to shed.
"Oh Seto," Jou murmured, pulling his boyfriend into a hug. He should have realized that his genius lover had been thinking over the situation from the moment he'd learned he could conceive.
Drawing both teens into his arms, Seth buried his face in Seto's lighter hair. ((I am sorry, antyw akhu. I did not realize it would be so dangerous for you to have children.))
A sigh. ((No Seth, it's not your fault. I know its not how things used to be.))
Pressing a kiss to Seto's cheek, Jonouchi smiled softly. "Ya know, just 'cause ya can't have a baby now, doesn't mean ya can't ever have one. I mean, we are gonna be alive for a few centuries aren't we?" Laughing at their stunned expressions, the blond leaned in and kissed them both, his lovers were so cute when they let their guard down!
"Katsuya, you're brilliant!" Seto exclaimed, spinning the blond around and them both out of Seth's arms. Dizzy, Jou tried to get his bearings only to find himself spinning again, this time in the arms of an exuberant High Priest. Waiting for the world to stop swirling by, keeping a tight grip onto Seth's shirt to keep himself upright Jou almost missed the yami's next question.
"I suppose that means you will be the first one pregnant?"
Blinking his eyes rapidly to clear them, Jou shook his head. "Not for a few years Seth," he answered, placing a hand on the yami's mouth to prevent him from saying anything. "Seto's not the only one that's been thinking about this." When he was sure his older lover was going to listen, he removed his hand, "We've gotta lot of responsibilities already and I'm not sure if we should be adding onto them so quickly. Seto and I have got at least four years of school ahead of us and Mokuba's still a kid himself."
Seth regarded his husband thoughtfully, "So what you're saying is-"
"We should wait at least until Mokuba's in High School before we start talking about having kids."
"I think waiting is a wonderful idea, puppy." Seto told the blond, pressing a kiss to his cheek, "and I'm sure Mokuba will enjoy being an uncle more when he's older than he would right now."
x-x-x-x-x
While the priests and their puppy talked about the future, Ryou and Malik were downtown finishing up their grocery shopping.
Since the two couples lived across the hallway from one another, they had taken to eating dinner together most nights. This way they were able to combine their budgets and afford to prepare better quality meals. Of course, Malik's vegetarian diet made planning a bit more complicated, but they managed to work things out so Malik got his veggies while Bakura and Marik got their red meat.
Exiting the market the boys headed for the crosswalk, chatting happily about their after-dinner plans. Waiting until the signal changed, the two hikari made it halfway through the intersection when a van came barreling around the corner and headed straight for the unaware teens.
Panicked cries of "Look out!" caught their attention too late and both teens froze in terror. Onlookers watched in shock as two tanned hands gripped the backs of their shirts and jerked the teens to safety in the nick of time.
Shaking horribly from the fright, the two teens looked up at their saviors and were stunned to see their wonderful darks holding them safely to their chests. Flinging their arms around their yami, the two hikari struggled to calm themselves, unwilling to breakdown in front of total strangers.
Holding their hikari close, the two yami locked eyes and an unspoken message passed between them. That had been too close.
