Destroyers

Aria's POV

I woked up and saw my mommy on the next bed curled up with his knees drawed up to his chin. His arms were wrap around his knees holding them to his face. His eyes were not open and he was talking in his sweep.

"Bakura….where are you?"

Aww…My mommy misses my daddy! I miss my daddy, too. My daddy is de bestest daddy in da world! He cawwies me awound unner his arm and he gives me big gweat hugs! Daddy Mawik hugs me, too, but my daddy's hugs are bestest of all!

I no know why my daddy no can wive wif me and Aten. My daddy and my mommy are weawwy nice! Dat meanie wady tol me and Aten dat my mommy and my daddy no can be our pawens because dey are kids demselles.

Dat meanie wady was so mean! She ted dat my mommy no can be our mommy cause our mommy is a boy! I know dat is my mommy! My mommy can be a boy! Just like Aten and I have two daddies! Daddy Bakuwa is my daddy and Daddy Mawik is Aten's daddy! Dere's nutting wong wif our daddies! My mommy is so my mommy! Wike my Daddy Mawik tays sometimes, `She muss be tawking out of her butt.' I wonner what dat means. How can butts talk? My butt no talk! Dat meanie wady ted to me dat mommies are girls wike me! I ted dat I was the only girl in de house and she no wisten to me! Meanie wady…..

I member when I was a weawwy weawwy tiny baby, like, weawwy wong ago, my mommy would hug me when I had a bad dweam. He would pick me up and wock me until I no could say awake. He would kiss me on my hair and smile at me. Dat made the bad dweam wun away. Da bad dweams no wike my daddy eider. Dey tee my daddy and dey wun away wike, "Ahh! It's Awia's daddy! He's a meanie! Wun for your wives!"*insert chibi giggle* Nobuddy scares away meanie dweams wike my daddy!

I walk to him and held my mommy's hand. "Don't be afwaid, mommy. I here."

He buwied his face in his knees. "Daddy…..don't."

My mommy muss be having a bad dweam! I wand to hewp my mommy wike he hewped me when I was afwaid. I jumped onto the bed and wrap my arms around my mommy's head kissing him.. "Mommy be awright…Awia here."

My mommy rewaxed and he began to sweep woudly. My daddy caws it…..umm….let's see, soaring? No…well, it's a word wike soaring, but I not sure what it is. It's when your neck mace a funny noise when you sweep and it gets weawwy woud. My daddy sweeps wike dat. I ewen hear Aten's daddy sweep dat woud!

Anutter sound wike dat came fwom da wiving room! I cwawled off of de bed an wan out to the woom. I cowered my mouf and taw Unkie Seto sweeping on the coush. His arm hung off of de coush and his foot tuck out fwom de bwankie he was sweeping unner. Unkie Seto is so funny!

I wan up to his foot. Unkie's feets stink good! Dey no smew bad wish is good for me! I tickle Unkie Seto's foot and he gwoans. His wittle toes move away. Tickle, tickle, tickle, Unkie Seto! Hehehehehehe……

He moos his feets away and I wun to his arm. I hear de fwoor cweak and I turn to see my bwutter wub his eyes. I had him wun ower to me and we boat waffed at Unkie Seto sweeping.

"Unkie Seto sweeps wike my daddy," Aten said poking at Unkie Seto's hand.

I cowered my ears. "He sure is woud, Aten!"

Aten poked Unkie Seto's face and he gwoaned again. He mooed a wittle away fwom us and I weashed up and pinished his nose. A funny sound came out of his open mouf!

Me and Aten waffed and waffed and waffed.

One time me and Aten woke up and went to wake up Daddy Mawik and Mommy Mawik. We jummed on the bed and frew ourselles at dem! Daddy Mawik made a funny sound when Aten jumped on him. Daddy Mawik scweamed wike a wittle girl wike me! Daddy Mawik began to cwy and ted dat Aten kicked him in the Mimimum Wod. I no get it, dough. Daddy Mawik's Mimimum Wod was on de table! How could he kick the Mimimum Wod if it was on de table? Aw I know is dat Daddy Mawik no could walk for a few hours.

We bof poked at Unkie Seto waffing! Unkie Seto's head turned to me and I wooked at his wips. It would be so funny if I kissed him to wake him up. Dat happened in dat story with Sow Whife of de Sewen Dwawes! De pince kissed de pincess and she woked up and was happy! I wove dat tory!

I crimed up to Unkie Seto's chest and sat down. I weaned over and I kissed him on de wips.

Normal POV

Seto felt warm lips on him….whose were they? They weren't Joey's like he hoped. Seto opened his eyes and saw Aria kissing him on the lips. The wet kiss of the chibi reminded him of Isis' visions from the day before.

Seto's eyes opened wide and he gasped.

"Morning, Unkie Seto!" The chibis screamed at the top of their little lungs or as loud as they could.

Seto sat up startled as Ryou and Isis ran into the room. Seto rubbed his lips as Aria fell back squealing and giggling.

"What's wrong, Kaiba?" Isis asked.

"Aria kissed me!"

Ryou saw Aten trying to climb up on the couch. His arms did not have the strength to pull him up on the couch like his sister. Aten's arms shivered as he struggled to pull his thin frame onto the couch. Ryou went to pick up the little boy and bring him into his arms.

"I wanna kiss Unkie Seto morring, too, mommy!" Aten said reaching for Seto. Ryou put Aten on Seto and he kissed Seto above the sapphire eyes. "Morring, Unkie Seto!"

Seto breathed in a sigh of relief as he stood up from the couch. "Yeah..umm…morning, Aten."

Aten looked up at Seto with large, sad chibi eyes. "Unkie Seto, are you ok? You no happy to tee me and Awia?"

"No, Aten, that's not it. I'm just…" Seto knew he couldn't tell them the reason for the awkward reaction to the normal morning kisses. "I just…miss Unkie Puppy."

Aria pouted. "Me, too, Unkie Seto. Wet's go home."

"No!" Aten said sadly. "I wanna go tee a pee-mid!"

Seto bit his lip and rubbed the back of his hair. The kids were scared by the museum, so why would they want to go into a dark pyramid? Aten's large eyes were hard to resist. He couldn't resist the brown and purple-eyed chibi looking up at him begging.

"Pitty peas, Unkie Seto? I wanna tee a pee-mid."

Seto sighed and looked at Isis. "Well? Any suggestions?"

Isis smiled and nodded. "There is one particular tomb that I believe you must see. It has something important regarding your past and the pharaoh's past. I was going to take you yesterday, but my schedule was full. My brother Malik and I found a carving which would interest you, to say the least. It's not on the scheduled tour's path and is a restricted area."

Seto lifted an eyebrow. "A carving that would interest me?"

Isis nodded. "I wanted to summon you here to see for yourself. Now that you have come for me, I will take you to see the images in question."

Ryou cuddled Aten close. "It's settled then. Let me get these two breakfast. Aten and I have to take our heart medicine and then we can go."

Ryou and Isis fixed breakfast for the chibis and Ryou took his medicine with his son. Seto watched Ryou give two tiny pills to Aten. Aten showed the pills to Seto in his hand.

"Dese pills keep me helty! Dey may sure dat my hard is working well! De docker told me dat udder kids no take der mecic-ine wike me! I'm a good boy, wight, Unkie Seto?"

Ryou tried to smile as he gave Aten a cup of water. The CEO knew Ryou blamed his father for Aten's frail health. The residuals from the poison in Ryou's system condemned Aten to the same fate as Ryou, but was amazed that Aten didn't question why he needed pills or why he wasn't as strong as his sister. Mother and Son took their heart medication and Seto's car drove them to the pyramid outside of Cairo towards the Valley of the Kings.

**************************************

Aria and Aten looked out the window as they drove through the desert. They arrived at a large pyramid and stepped out of the truck.

"Dis dessert is too hot," Aria said fanning herself.

"It's a desert," Seto corrected.

Isis lead them into the pyramid. A long hallway took them to the beginning of the tour area. A tour guide walked up to them.

"Welcome! Would you care for a guided tour of the pyramid today?" the tour guide asked leaning down with a large smile on her face.

Aten smirked and crossed his arms. "We no need a gilded tour! I can weed eweryone true de pee-mid. Tanks, wady!"

Ryou, Isis, and Seto stood amazed. Aten lead them down the path to one of the tweasure wooms.

"Dis is where de paro keeps his tweas..his tweassures…..his….neat toys," Aten said looking at the pile of gold treasures.

Isis took Aten's hand. "Come with us, Aten. We have to move on."

Aten looked up at her. "Where are we going, Auntie Isis?"

"To the depths of the pyramid."

Aten smiled and turned to Ryou. "Mommy, we're going into da deaths of de pee-mid!"

Isis led Aten and the others through a door marked "Personnel Only."

The large room only held a sarcophagus.

Isis released Aten's hand and broke away from the group. Aria and Aten wandered away looking at the hieroglyphs.

Aria ran her finger along the glyphs. Aria's eyes opened wide and she grabbed Aten's arm. "Aten! Wook! Here! It's my Daddy's mark!"

Aten ran over and saw the glyphs. He ran his fingers over it. "Yeah! It is! Hey! Awia! Dere's sumfin witten bewow it!"

"What it tay, Aten?" Aria asked leaning over her brother.

Aten squinted to see the glyphs in the light. "It tays, `The Paro is a Ass.'" Aten stood up and looked at Aria.

"What dat mean?"

Aten scratched his white and blond hair. "Well, I memmer my daddy tawking about an aminal dat cawwied tings for him. He taid it was a donney, then Mommy Mawik cawed it an Ass. I wonner if dat is the same ting."

Aria squealed jumping up and down. "The Paro is an Ass! Heheheheheheehe….!"

Ryou turned around from looking at another wall with Seto. "Aria, watch your language."

Ryou turned back to the wall.

Aten looked over and smiled, his eyes lighting up. "Hey! Awia! It's my daddy's name! Tee?!"

"What he wight?"

Aten looked at the image. "He wote nutting. He dwewed a pisher." Aten's head turned to the side. "What's dat a pisher of?"

Aria looked closely at the image. "It wooks wike a camoo."

"Dere is a pisher of the paro wight be-ind it. What's he doing wit dat camoo?"

Aria folded her arms and cocked her head to the side. "I dunno."

"It wooks wike he's twying to jump ower the camoo or he's twying to wide it."

Aria turned her head to her brother. "Dat's toopid! Dat's not how you wide a camoo from it's butt! You no wide a camoo by standing at its butt, Aten!"

"You newer wode a camoo, Aria, how would you know?"

"I just no you no wide a camoo by standing behind its butt!"

Ryou and Seto turned to the chibis wondering what in the name of hell were they looking at. They walked over to the chibis and looked at the picture that astounded the chibis.

"It wooks wike he's twying to pway weep-fog wit the camoo! Hey, mommy, what's dat man doing to dat camoo?"

"Hey! Dat man wooks wike Auntie Yami!" Aria said pointing at it.

Seto and Ryou's eyes opened wide at the picture and shielded the kids' eyez. Seto looked closely at the glyphs above the image."Let's go see what Isis has found, shall we?"

"But, what dat man doin to the camoo, Unkie Seto?" Aria asked as Seto kept his hand firmly on her eyes and led her away.

Isis turned to Kaiba. "Release the girl. Ryou, could you take Aten and Aria through the tour? When you are done, you may return here with the kids."

Aria and Aten ran to Isis and hugged her. Ryou took one hand of each chibi and led them out of the room.

Kaiba turned to Isis. "Ok, What made it worth my while coming here?"

Isis motioned towards a carving of the pharaoh. "I'm certain you recognize the pharaoh."

"It looks like Yami."

"This is Yami's tomb. And that is the image of our pharaoh. Now, look on the other side of the pharaoh. You see two figures. The girl is holding a staff. That staff we have in the museum."

Seto turned pale as he thought about Aria's insistence that the staff belonged to her. "Aria wanted that staff. She said it belonged to her."

"Now, look beside her."

Seto looked at the image of a young man holding what looked like the Millennium Rod. "That's the scepter that Aten wanted."

"This tablet depicts an ancient battle that occurred between the pharaoh and this boy and girl."

Seto turned to Isis. "If you are saying what I think you are, then come right out and say it!"

Isis closed her eyes. "This tablet was part of the Prophecy Wall. It was a series of tablets which foretold the solving of the Millennium Puzzle and the resurrection of the pharaoh.

It foretold the cataclysmic repercussions of someone obtaining all of the Millennium Items. It also foretold the births and fate of Aria and Aten themselves."

"What? How could a tablet written so long ago prophesy their births?"

"The tablets prophesy that offspring were to be born to the Spirit of the Millennium Ring and the Spirit of the Millennium Rod. The child of the Millennium Ring would be a girl and a …dangerous…cruel……and a ruthless killer."

Seto narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist. His mouth began to seeth in anger. "My little girl is NOT a ruthless killer! You lie, Isis!"

"These tablets do not lie, Kaiba. This girl holding the staff was Aria in the past and will be Aria in the future."

"Not Aria! That is not Aria! It's just a myth!"

Isis pointed above her. "Look at her monster, Kaiba. That resembles your favorite card, if I am not mistaken."

"What is Aria doing with my Blue Eyes White Dragon?"

Isis laughed. "That is not your Blue Eyes White Dragon. That is the rare Nightmare Dragon. Even more powerful than your Blue Eyes, Kaiba."

"I never heard of that card! Now I know you are making this up!"

"It was a real dragon, Kaiba. It was rumored to be a black Dragon with gold eyes..sharp spikes covering its wings. It was rumored to be more powerful than Exodia himself and it rivaled the power of the Egyptian God Cards."

"What does it say about Aten, then?"

"It prophesied that the Spirit of the Millennium Rod would conceive a son…who would be weaker and who would join his sibling out of fear. But, he is just as deadly as the girl."

Seto crossed his arms. "Aten can't even pull himself on the couch! What makes you think he can be a deadly killer?"

"This boy and girl devastated much of the known world with their knowledge of ancient magic. They found a way to harness the energy of the Millennium Items and gain control of Shadow Magic. Pharaoh Yami confronted the two. The girl wears the necklace of the High Priest around her neck. That necklace was yours, Kaiba."

"Why is she wearing it?"

Isis read the inscription. "The carving states that she was a favorite of the High Priest Set. That was you in my vision, Kaiba. She's described here as the High Priest's body servant. It reads, `The beloved of the High Priest Set stood before the power of the powerful pharaoh, their only obstacle to complete world domination.'"

Seto looked closer at the carvings. "I….I can understand these! How is that possible?"

"You were the High Priest Set and Aria was your servant. Here you are much more connected to the past than if you were back at Domino City. It's only natural you would begin to remember your memories here with no distractions by your modern technology."

Seto stood up and backed away from the tablet. "What does it say about Aria and Aten's fate?"

"The tablet has stated that the boy was struck down first by the Dark Magician."

"That explains why Aten is afraid of the Dark Magician!"

"The Dark Magician killed Aten first. The Dark Magician was ready to attack Aria when the Blue Eyes White Dragon stepped in the way blocking the attack. That is why Aria is not upset by the Blue Eyes White Dragon, the Dark Magician's nemesis."

"That also explains why Aria chews on the Dark Magician still. But, what about Aria?"

Isis looked up at Kaiba. "Aria was struck down, but was wounded. She was destroyed by his own hand after the duel."

"He killed her?"

"It was the only way to save the world. It was difficult to say who destroyed her. That part of the carving has faded into obscurity. However, there are only two people who could possibly have killed Aria in her past life: Pharaoh Yami or the High Priest Set."
