Chapter Seven

 

Seto turned off his laptop and placed it in its holder then made his way to Yami's office. He stepped out of the elevator and hesitated at Yami's door.

`Come on Seto what are you waiting for.' He thought as he held his hand at the door. He then finally knocked.

 

“Come in!” The familiar proud voice spoke.

 

Seto stepped in and Yami was typing away on his laptop. Seto smiled as he remembered how many computers and laptops Yami sent to the shadow realm before he finally got the hang of it.

 

Yami still didn't look up so Seto took it upon himself to make his presence known. He snuck up behind Yami, got right next to his ear and spoke.

 

“So are you ready for our date?” He spoke softly. Yami jumped and almost fell out of his chair.

 

“Baka! Don't do that you're going to give me a heart attack!” Yami fumed.

Seto just laughed and Yami gave him his most evil glare.

Yami grabbed his coat and walked with Seto to his car. Neither of them noticed a certain tomb robber in the shadows smiling.

 

“Pharaoh and Priest together again, maybe this time it will all work out.” Bakura whispered to himself remembering those terrible and fateful days of the past that even brought tears to his eyes.

 

Seto and Yami arrived at the Kaiba mansion to be greeted by Mokuba.

 

“Hey nii-sama!” Mokuba hugged Seto.

 

“Hey Yami! What are you doing here?”

 

“Mokuba, Yami is here for dinner so go set the table while I whip something up.”

 

Yami helped Mokuba set the table, and then Yami headed toward the kitchen to see if Seto needed any help with dinner. Mokuba made his way toward the living room to watch TV.

 

“Need any help?”

 

“Can you make salad?”

 

“Of course.” Yami smiled.

 

“The great and mighty pharaoh can cook.” Seto smirked as he made the comment.

 

“Ex-Pharaoh and yes I've made dinner for Yugi and me many times.” Yami said as he started dicing the tomato.

 

Seto looked at Yami and noticed how his mood was getting better. He was also amazed that Yami had made the salad in record time and was now working on the salad dressing.

 

Yami had finished with the dressing and was looking at Seto's many wines. Seto took notice of this.

 

“You may pick any wine you want.”

 

“What are we having?”

 

“Chicken fettuccini alfredo. Why?”

 

“Then we will have red wine.” Yami pulled down a bottle and grabbed two glassed. He popped the cork and poured Seto and him a glass.

Seto quirked and eyebrow as Yami sniffed then took a sip.

 

“Mmm. Wonderful.” Yami stated as he handed Seto a glass.

Seto took a sip.

“You definitely have good taste.”

 

“Of course I was a Pharaoh.” Yami smirked as he took another sip.

 

Thirty minutes later Seto, Mokuba, and Yami sat at the table and talked about school and work as they ate.

 

“Hey Seto and Yami are you two going to enter the Duel Monsters tournament that you are holding next year?” Mokuba asked.

 

“Mokuba you know Yami and I are retired.” Seto stated as he took a sip of wine.

 

“Besides it's someone else's turn to win.” Yami stated.

 

“Well you two should still make an appearance and duel each other once more.” Mokuba said as he took a huge bite of salad.

 

“We'll see only if Yami agrees.” Seto looked at his former rival who had just put down his empty wine glass.

 

“Why not, it would be fun to duel in the arena with a lot of screaming fans.” Yami said as he looked at Seto.

 

“Yeah the two greatest rivals and duelists, it would be great publicity for Kaiba Corp and the new duel disks.” Seto agreed.

Mokuba jumped in.

 

“Plus it was really sad when you two quit and a lot of people were disappointed to see you two retire.”

 

“Mokuba it gives other people a chance to become the next king of games.” Yami looked at Mokuba.

 

Seto looked at Yami and spoke up.

 

“There is only one true king of games, Yami.” Seto smiled as he addressed the pharaoh.

 

Yami smiled at this as he looked into Seto's sapphire eyes.

“Yes, but there will be only one person who will ever be worthy enough to challenge me and who has earned a great deal of my respect.”

 

Seto smiled a real smile and both Mokuba and Yami noticed this.

Mokuba yawned and he stood from the table.

 

“Well, I'm really tired so I think I will go and get ready for bed.

 

“Goodnight Yami.”

 

“Good night Mokuba.” Yami smiled

 

“Night nii-sama.” Mokuba hugged Seto.

 

“Good night.” Seto ruffled his hair.

 

Mokuba made his way upstairs and smiled. His brother was happy, truly happy for once in many years and he had Yami to thank for that.

 

Seto looked at Yami and smiled.

“That is how we will start off the new tournament. You and I will duel using the new duel disks.”

 

Yami smiled and nodded and for once in a long time everything seemed it would all turn out good.

 

After they finished with dinner, they went to the living room and talked. They spoke about everything you could possibly think of ranging from the past to duel monsters. Yami stood up and stumbled a little trying not to fall over the coffee table.

 

“Where are you going?” Seto asked trying hard no to slur his words.

 

“I need to get going I told Aibou I would be home tonight.” Yami slurred out.

Seto not to gracefully stumble off the couch and toward Yami.

 

“I'll call Yugi and let him know you are staying the night. I am not going to drive and you can barely stand up let alone walk.”

Yami pondered this as he stood with his arms crossed across his chest.

 

“Alright I'll stay but I will call Yugi.” Yami turned a little too quickly as he became dizzy and fell to the floor.

 

“On second thought maybe you should call Yugi.” Yami said as he sat up and ran a hand through his unruly hair.

Seto tried to stop laughing long enough to dial the number, but finally managed to get it right after three wrong numbers later.

 

“Hello.”

 

“Yugi!”

 

“Kaiba is that you?” Yugi asked a little skeptical.

 

“Yep.”

 

“Umm, what do you need?”

 

“Yami is….” CRASH.

 

“Kaiba what is going on?” Yugi asked a little concerned from all the noise he was hearing in the background.

 

“Huh, Oh Yami is banishing wine bottles to the shadow realm.”

 

“Why is he doing that?”

 

“Well umm…he's….cleaning.”

 

“Are you drunk?”

 

“Maybe?” Seto smirked

 

“How much did you drink?” Yugi asked not sure he really wanted to know.

 

“Just a little.”

 

“AIBOU!” Yami yelled as he grabbed the phone from Seto.

 

“Yami, truthfully how much did you drink and don't tell me a little.”

Yami paused as he looked at Seto who just stared back.

 

“Yami. Hello.”

 

“Four maybe five bottles of wine.” Yami slurred out.

Yugi shook his head not knowing which was worse a drunk yami or a sugar high yami.

 

“Are you staying there tonight?”

 

“If it's alright with you Aibou.”

 

“Yeah, its fine Yami I just don't want you walking home in the state you are in.”

 

“Okay Aibou see you tomorrow sometime.”

 

“Night Yami.”

 

“Night Aibou.”

 

Yugi hung up and glanced at Ryou who was sitting beside him.

 

“Well what happened?” Ryou asked.

 

Before Yugi could answer Bakura came walking out of the kitchen.

“The Pharaoh and the Priest have finally got back together after all these millennia.”

 

Ryou looked at his yami and then back at Yugi who was smiling and nodding that Bakura was correct.

“I'm glad too. He seems a lot happier now.” Yugi stated as he looked at Ryou and Bakura.

 

“So what did Yami say?” Ryou asked.

 

“Not much really I think he was to busy banishing wine bottles to the shadow realm. He was really tipsy.”

 

Bakura rolled off the couch laughing as he pictured the Pharaoh doing that since he has seen him do it before in Egypt.

Ryou and Yugi looked over at Bakura who was still laughing on the floor. The two hikari's shook their heads and continued playing their video game.
