I don't own Yugioh or Dumbledore but, the rest is mine. If anything I mention in this chapter that is found to be offensive, I'm sorry but that's the way the original story is.

Fallen Angels

Chapter four: A young Priest from the Past (or Many new things to learn)

The next morning, Yugi, Joey and Seto woke up and got dressed in identical black casual tuxedos. The only difference was that Seto and Joey were wearing silver and sky blue sashes over their right shoulders while Yugi's sash was gold and deep violet. They were greeted by the castle staff and they entered the Breakfast nook, very surprised to see their friend, Duke Devlin, wearing the exact same outfit they were wearing! Duke's sash, however, was jade and white.

"Hey Duke!" chirped Yugi.

"Hi Guys!" piped Duke, "You wouldn't believe what I found out this morning!"

"What's that?" asked Joey.

"Well," started Michelle as she put her tea cup down, "Mr. Devlin will be joining you three in your classes."

"Why?" asked Seto, "Is he a Count, too?"

"I'm not a Count!" laughed Duke, "But, I did find out that we were friends back in Staridium."

"Mr. Devlin was a young Priest in training back in Staridium and one of your closest friends," explained Michelle, "Like you three, he is also needed back in Staridium because the Council also needs a religious figure. He will also be sleeping in the same room as you three because he used to sleep in your room, too."

"Yeah!" said Duke, "Back in Staridium, my name was Gabriel Zeratra (Pronounced: Ze-ra-Tra) and I was learning how to do magic and Mysitra. I'm a Mystic Angel, too," then Duke looked a bit sad, "I was given my Star Crystal, The Wand of Osiris, by my father, Maddock the day I became a Priest in Training. I was best friends with you guys and when you three were gone, never to return, I drank a potion to put me in Eternal Sleep because I couldn't live without you three. I was also to be reincarnated until my return to Staridium as well. "

"Mysitra is the main Staridian religion," explained Michelle. (AN: Mysitra (Pronounced: "Mis-stir-ria") is a mix of my own imagination and White Witchcraft with a little bit of Divination thrown in. Duke was training to be a mix of Dumbledore and a Priest.)

"Is there a specific divinity in Mysitra?" asked Yugi.

"Yes," replied Michelle, "A solitary goddess known as Zephyrina. She protected and created Staridium in the beginning of time. She has always been a source of love and strength for everyone in Our Fair Kingdom."

"Wow," said Joey, "She must get lonely, being a solitary goddess and all."

As if he had known this answer for years, Seto patted Joey's shoulder and said with a small smile, "No, she's not lonely, Joey. She has all of us and so many more."

"Raphael is correct, Verchiel," said Michelle, "As long as we believe in Her, She will always be there."

The four boys sat in reverence for about three minutes and then, Samantha walked in and curtsied to the company.

"It is time for lessons Gentlemen," she simply said as she curtsied a second time and left.

They stood up and headed for the Great Hall for their first lesson, Formal Dancing. Their instructor, Laura Sinclair, was waiting for them with an assortment of classical music. She was thin with fiery red hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a white blouse with a lavender ankle-length skirt. She had a lavender ribbon tied in her hair. When Michelle entered the room with the young Prince, Counts, and Priest, she was astonished at the fact the these four looked just like the portraits that she had seen of them!

She curtsied to them and said, "Your Highness and Excellencies, I am honored to be your tutor in the art of the type of dancing you four will be required to know for all sorts of occasions."

They thanked her and noticed that Yami was sitting in one of the chairs with Samantha. He was smiling good-naturedly at them. They also noticed four girls, one redhead, a blonde, and two brunettes, standing in the room, wearing white Victorian-like dresses with lavender and pink accents that were exactly alike in every way. They stood in a straight line and curtsied to the four young men. They were introduced, left to right, Jessica was the blonde, Amelia was the redhead, and the identical twin brunettes, who were also sisters, were named Kitty and Helen.

"We will first learn the Box Step," said Laura as she clapped her hands and the girls came forward. The four pairs started dancing and, in no time at all, the boys were able to Waltz, Ballroom, Tango, Samba and they were able to dance to a Ballroom version of Ballet. Everyone was quite amazed with how graceful Yugi, Seto, Duke, and especially Joey, danced.

After the dance lessons, the boys had lunch and then it was off to their separate classes. Yugi was going to learn about Political Science and how to trade with other Realms. Joey was off to learn the Royal History and local backgrounds. Seto was going to learn about his role as Grand Vizier and how to deal with the business of other Realms. Duke headed for his Potion-making class. (Potions and oils are used in this story.)

(AN: Each guy tells us what's going on in the class through his POV)

Yugi's class (Yugi's POV):

I sat in the chair, as the teacher, a squat man named Mr. Simpleton, droned on about how Egypt, Japan, Portugal, and Canada have the largest trades with Staridium. I'm trying to write all this down but, I look out the window. I miss Grandpa and I wish I could just go home for at least an hour.

"Your Highness! Pay attention!" shouts a voice.

I turn around and see Mr. Simpleton with a very angry look on his face. Then I realized that I wasn't paying attention and I was being rude.

"I'm sorry," I said in a quivering voice, I felt ready to cry because if I was going to be a good ruler, I had to know these things. I felt like I was going to fail. I was supposed to be paying attention and here I was daydreaming!

I started whimpering and the teacher's face softened. Yami, who was also in the room, asked him to leave and after the teacher left, he gave me a hug. I immersed my face in Yami's chest, sobbing and hugging him back, feeling like a complete failure.

"Aibou, it's okay," coaxed Yami, "I know that your trying very hard." He says this as he pats my back.

"I'll never be able to do this!" I sob, "I'm just not good enough to do this!" I bury my face in his shirt again. Some ruler I'm going to be! Who would want a big crybaby to be their King?!

//Yugi// says Yami through our mind link, //You're not a crybaby. You're just frustrated, that's all.//

/Oh Yami!/ I mentally sigh, /What am I going to do?! It's hard for me to not miss Grandpa or my old life! What if I fail? What if I ruin everything? What if…/

//What if the sky turns to stone and pigs fly!// says Yami sarcastically, //Hikari, I once told you that if given the chance, you could've been Pharaoh. Now I'm certain you will make a good ruler, if you give yourself a chance, Yugi.//

I look up and see him smiling at me. Yami really was the best friend I could wish for. I dried my eyes and got back to my lesson.

Joey's Class (Joey's POV)

This sucks even worse than school! Royal background, History, who did what to who, what was conquered when…BIG FAT DEAL! If I wanted to listen to this stuff, I'd be taking a nap in History class right now!

What's even worse is I'm tied up, my shoulders pinned to the top of the chair, with a scarf! My teacher, Ms. Danforth, says that I have bad posture and that the scarf is a training tool to teach me not to slouch. If I'm not being bored to death, I'm being strangled by the stupid scarf!

"Your Excellency," she asks me, "Are you alright?" Uh oh! She must've caught me squirming.

"I'd be fine," I say cynically, "If I wasn't being strangled!"

She laughs and says to me, "You will soon have that off. Now back to our lesson."

I laughed as well and I had to admit that this wasn't so bad after all.

Seto's Class (Seto's POV)

I hate this. This just like the classes I used to take when my step-father was alive. My teacher, Mr. Winston, a tall, elderly man, keeps droning on about my role as Vizier, different Staridian trades, how business is handled and basically how things work. I write down all that I am told but, then I feel my eyes fill with tears.

"Your Excellency," he asks, "Are you all right?"

I look up and his face is filled with concern. I, at first, wondered why he asked me, then I felt tears flowing down my face. I can't seem to stop myself so I end up sobbing. I realize why I'm crying, too. I miss Mokuba so much! I never cried when Pegasus or Noa stole him away. I was angry but, not crying. I guess because this time I've been taken from him. I know I haven't been abducted by anyone but, all the same, it's still hurts. I feel the teacher rubbing my back and trying to comfort me. I look up and sit up in my chair.

"I'm sorry," I sniffle, now, even with my eyes red from tears, I try to keep my business-like voice as clear as I can. If I'm going to be a good Vizier, CEO, and older brother, I can't allow myself to blubber like an idiot.

"It's all right, Raphael," he says kindly, "I know you miss your little brother but, you still have all of us here and, of course, your cousin, Verchiel, and you friends, Gabriel, and the Prince, Seraphim."

I smile softly as I understand that he's right. I never would've suspected that I was friends with Devlin and Yugi or that mutt, Wheeler, and I were cousins and that I was as close as brothers with them all. It's almost as if I now have four brothers. I nod and start learning again with a tiny grin upon my face.

Duke's Class (Duke's POV)

My teacher, Mrs. Blake, a full-figured woman with brown curls in her mid-thirties, was teaching me how to use a pestle and mortar to grind ingredients to use in potions. I got in trouble for using a ballpoint pen in my lesson. I was given a lovely fountain pen and a pretty eagle quill with four types of ink, red, black, blue, and green, to write with. I was using the fountain pen with blue ink to write down a healing oil. We were going to test it on one of the guards, who had bruised himself while trying to help Michelle with something. I just hope that I don't blow him up! I wrote down the formula and, in a small glass jar, I mixed one drop of Sandalwood oil, one drop of Carnation oil, two drops of Juniper oil, and four drops of Rosemary oil. The oils were mixed together and I applied it on his bruised arm.

"Thank you, Your Excellency," he says to me, "It's already starting to feel better."

He leaves and Mrs. Blake told me I did a great job and to store all of my oils in a safe place. I'm just really happy about one thing, I DIDN'T BLOW HIM UP! YAY!

(Reader's POV)

The boys returned to their shared room and put on their pajamas but, sleeping was not on their minds at the moment. Duke, whose pajamas were jade and there was a silver star with a rainbow trailing behind it, the Symbol of Mysitra, on the breast pocket, had remembered a way to discover your future wife's job with a pink candle and a bowl of water. The boys all sat, cross-legged, around the bowl of clear water. The only light in the room was the full moon from the open French-doors and the small, pink candle.

"You first, Joey," smirked Duke and Yugi and Seto quietly laughed.

"OK, OK," said Joey as he let the pink wax drip into the water. The cold wax resurfaced in the shape of a Harpie Lady. All three boys looked at the shape and they were shocked!

"HA!" smirked Seto, "You're going marry Mai!" Yugi and Duke were laughing hysterically, while Joey was bright red with embarrassment, as they imagined Joey's life with Mai as his wife. The candle was put down and they joined hands to use their new powers to share the vision.

{Shared Vision (All Visions will be written in script format)}

Mai walks in the door, puts her bags down.

Mai: Hi Honey! I'm home! (She wraps her arms around Joey's neck.)

Joey (Whose arms are around her back.): How was your day?

Mai: I shopped till I dropped. (Faints)

{End vision}

"Your turn, Duke!" chirped Joey as he passed the candle to the young Priest in training. Duke let the wax melt and dropped the fluid wax into the bowl. The wax hardened and formed the shape of what appeared to be a cheerleader's pom-pom.

"Cool!" said Yugi, "A cheerleader, possibly one of the girls from your Game shop." They tried to make a vision about Duke's future wife, but to no avail because the wax had given an uncertain identity.

"Here you go, Seto," said Duke as he gave him the rose-colored candle. Seto allowed the wax to liquefy and let it drip into the water. It solidified and reappeared in the shape of The Millenium Necklace. All four boys were happy, stunned, and horrified at the same time!

"Holy Crap!" yelled Joey as the others shushed him, "Your future wife's Izshizu! Oh man but, to have Marik as a brother in law?! I hope the wax is kidding!"

Duke quickly checked his spell book and said, "According to this: `The wax never lies!'" They joined hands a third time and saw a vision.

{Shared Vision}

Seto walks into the Living Room of his Mansion.

Seto (With a smile): I'm home!

Mokuba and Izshizu run up to him and give a hug. Then Izshizu kisses Seto lovingly.

Izshizu (Happily): We're so glad you're here, Sweetheart.

Mokuba(Grinning): Yeah Big Brother! We miss you when you're at work.

[Outside of vision]

Joey said "This ain't so bad."

[Back to vision]

Seto (With a bigger smile): Why's that?

Marik comes bursting into the room, yelling and screaming, waving a dead fish around.

Marik (Still waving the fish around and yelling): THIS IS MY SWORD AND, WITH IT, I"LL CONQUER ALL THE WORLD!!!!

Izshizu (Hanging her head down): He's been bothering the cook all day and on top of that, we need to see what medication we can use to calm him down. We've tried everything on the market and they have all made Marik either too hyper or too…

Mokuba (Interrupts): horny.

Marik crawls over and Seto is disgusted when Marik tries to French kiss him and…(AN: This is where you make up you own conclusions, I don't come up with hentai, I stink at it.)

{End vision}

All four of them screamed and were gasping for air.

"That was sick!" yelled Seto, "Is that what's really going to happen to me?"

"The visions only show us," wheezed Duke out of shock, "what might be, not what will be. I really hope what we saw Seto, won't happen to you at all!!"

"Your turn, Yugi," said Seto as he gave the terrified, shaking little angel the candle, "I really hope we get a nice vision from you."

Yugi, with shaking hands and wide amethyst eyes, dripped the molten wax into the cold water and it rigidified into the shape of a Ballet slipper.

"Wow Yuge!" said Joey, happily, "You're gonna marry Tea! That's so great!"

Yugi blushed because he was going to be married to his secret crush. They joined hands and saw the vision.

{Shared Vision}

Yugi's sitting on the throne in Staridium, governing his country well. Sitting beside him is Tea as his Queen. Yugi is wearing a golden crown and a white tux with the violet and gold sash on his shoulder while Tea, who also wore a violet and gold sash on her shoulder, was wearing a strapless, slivery blue gown made out of satin and silk.

Tea (Smiling): I'm so glad that I'm here with you, My Angel.

Yugi (Blushing and Smiling): I love you so much, My Butterfly. (They kiss)

[Outside of vision]

Joey and Duke: AW! That's so cute!

[Back to vision]

A young maid gives Tea a small bundle. The bundle turns out to be a baby. The only part of the baby that anyone sees is its innocent, pure, amethyst eyes. Eyes that mirror Yugi's own exactly.

{End Vision}

Yugi blushed bright red at the thought of marrying and having a child with Tea. The other three were grinning ear to ear for him.

"I hope that vision comes true," chirped Seto. Joey and Duke agreed along with Yugi, who was still cherry red.

They went to sleep and Yami, who was outside the door and saw all of the visions with the Puzzle, smiled warmly at the thought of Yugi's future marriage and child with Tea, laughed softly at Joey's marriage to Mai. He was sad that Duke's bride was uncertain, and almost threw up when he felt sorry for Seto having to deal with Marik in that vision.

"What wonderful things the future has in store for them," Yami smiled quietly. The former Pharaoh turned on his heels and proceeded to his room. Tomorrow would bring new possibilities, visions, lessons, and magic.

"You four are in for some amazing things in life," Yami thought as he glanced at their bedroom door on last time before entering his room and closing the door behind him.

TBC! What's going to happen with these foretold romances for Yugi, Seto, and Joey. Will Duke's future wife be revealed? What's going to happen next? Wait and See! R&R!!! (Here's a hint, next chapter's a bit darker than the first four. Stay Tuned!)
