Despite having had no intention of moving until
at least the next day, Jonouchi found that he was unable to ignore his stomach once
lunchtime rolled around. However, his two possessive lovers were making it
impossible for him to even sit up!

"Aww, come on guys! I'm
starving!" he whined plaintively, tugging futily at the arms they had locked tightly
around his waist.

"Too tired pup," Seto grumbled,
snuggling into the captive blond's back.

"Should you both not be sleeping?" Seth
inquired groggily, not bothering to lift his head or even open his eyes as he spoke.

"I WOULD be sleeping if my stomach wasn't
trying to chew its' way out of my body!" Jonouchi complained, his stomach voicing
it's own protest with a loud growl.

((Guess we'd better feed the puppy,)) Seto sighed
mentally to his other, sitting up with a loud yawn. Reluctantly, Seth did the same,
stretching his arms over his head.

"Freedom!" Jonouchi cheered loudly,
leaping out from between the two auburn-haired males before either one got the chance to
grab him again. Cuddling was great, but not on an empty stomach!

While the naked blond rummaged through his bag
for clothing to wear, Seth and Seto chose to sit back and enjoy the show their blond lover
was providing them. It was while Jou bounced around happily getting clothing both
for himself and his lovers that Seth remembered something he wanted to ask his hikari.

"My light, why do you call Jono
"puppy"?" the priest asked curiously, he could tell it was a title given
with affection, but he didn't understand where it had come from.

Seto smiled, "He's always reminded me of
one: loyal, affectionate, playful, cute, noisy, and clumsy."

"Noisy!" Jonouchi's yelped indignantly,
stalking over to glare at his smirking boyfriend. "I'll show you noisy you
stuck up bas-mmmph!" the blond was cut off as Seto stood and swept him into his arms,
sealing their lips together. Jonouchi flailed in protest at first before giving in
and melting into the other teen's embrace.

Seth laughed at the pair's antics, ((I see what
you mean, nhy hm-ntr!))

Breaking the kiss with a much calmer Jou, Seto
raised an eyebrow at his darkness. That was the second time he'd called him by that
name. "Katsuya . . . what does 'nhy hm-htr' mean?"

The blond grinned, quickly understanding that
Seth must have reverted to the old nickname out of habit. "It's nothing bad or
nearly as embarrassing as "puppy"," he reassured his boyfriend.
"It was the nickname almost everyone in the palace called you by. It's kind of
a play off of Seth's title as High Priest, it literally means: "little
priest", because back then you were just five years old."

Seto blinked in surprise, a faint pink blush
dusting his cheeks. "You are NOT calling me that in front of anyone else,"
he growled in embarrassment.

Seth grinned unrepentantly at his light, "I
make no promises, Seto."

"Seth I mean it!"

Laughing the darkness stood and gave his
flustered light a quick kiss on the lips, "I will try, but I can not guarantee I will
not accidentally . . . slip up."

Seto growled in frustration as his two lovers
laughed good-naturedly at his ire. He didn't like it, but knew that this was the
best he was going to get from his stubborn dark.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Feeling happier and more complete then he ever
had before, Seto declared that they would take a "mental health day" and spend
their day together. Jonouchi had heartily agreed, for several reasons, and cajoled
Seth into re-sealing their tent and conjuring up a late breakfast.

After sating their hunger, Seto and Jou took
turns explaining the function of the dig site and why they and their classmates were
there. The whole archaeological process was greatly confusing to Seth, who didn't
understand the fascination with what he classified as junk, but he reluctantly shelved his
protests after learning that both his Pharaoh and the Atlantean king were assisting in
this odd array of menial tasks.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

It wasn't until after dinner that Atem and Dartz,
accompanied by their lights, arrived at their tent. And not even a full second after
the shield was removed, Yuugi bounded into the tent and over to Jou, leaping into his arms
and snuggling up against his best friend's chest happily.

"I'm so happy that you're feeling better
Jonouchi-kun!" he chirruped, dropping down to grab the blond's hands. The
amethyst-eyed teen had been fretting over his friend's well being for some time and had
immediately noticed the difference in his eyes the instant he'd walked into the tent.

"Neva' been better!" the blond replied,
dropping the small teen's hands to grab him in a loose headlock and give the trapped
hikari a noogie.

"Augh! Jonouchi-kun!" Yuugi
wailed, flailing in the blond's grasp.

"Say uncle, Yug!" the taller boy
taunted, his honey brown eyes glittering with mischief as he spoke the next words,
"Or should I call ya Heba now?"

"Never!" Yuugi cried out in answer to
both questions as he twisted until his hands were in range of Jou's sensitive sides.
Launching an offensive tickle attack, the small tri-colored haired teen was soon free of
his best friend's grip and had slipped away to return to the safety of Atem's side.
Laughing breathlessly, he managed to stick his tongue out before breaking into a fit of
giggles.

Wrapping an arm around his laughing hikari, Atem
addressed the former bodyguard, "Have all your memories returned, Jono?"

"Yes my pharaoh," he replied in ancient
Egyptian, bowing to his sovereign, his amused expression hidden behind a curtain of golden
blond hair.

"Hmph. Then you know you're only
supposed to address me as Pharaoh in court," Atem replied, a peevish expression on
his face.

Jonouchi raised his head, revealing his
amusement, "Yeah, but I couldn't resist the urge ta tease ya."

"How did you get all your memories
back?" Yuugi asked curiously.

"Seth did it," the blond answered,
nodding his head in the direction of the High Priest. "He fixed it so I got all
of them back in one shot, instead of in random bits of my dreams. All I had to do
was settle both my past and present memories down together and that was it." He
smiled reassuringly at his best friend when he saw the teen's troubled expression,
"Don't worry Yug', I'm still me . . . just now I remember everything from being Jono
too."

"Ano, Seth-san?" Hanasaki's soft voice
broke through shyly. "That spell you used on Jonouchi-kun . . . would it work
on anyone?" he asked nervously of the intimidating figure. The Egyptian
darkness, who stood a bit taller than Kaiba, was equal in height to his own darkness
Dartz, but seemed to radiate a far more dangerous and intimidating aura.

Seth seemed to take no notice of Hanasaki's
nervousness, or if he did, made no mention of it. "Yes it would. It's a
generic spell and quite simple to cast, why do you ask?" he questioned, having a
strong feeling he already knew the answer.

Hanasaki smiled up at him, "Then if it
wouldn't be to much trouble, would you be willing to cast it on me?"

Dartz gasped and took hold of Hanasaki's
shoulders, turning him to look him in the eyes. "Beloved, you're not doing this
because you feel obligated are you? You know I love you as you are."

The pale orange-haired teen smiled up at his
mate, "I know. But I can feel the loss you feel from my lack of
memories." Dartz opened his mouth to protest and was stopped by a gentle hand
covering his mouth. "It's deep and well hidden, but I can still feel it and . .
. and . . I feel the loss as well," his smile turned wry, "There's a deeply
buried part of my own heart that aches and yearns to remember what I have lost," gray
eyes glittered warmly as he cupped the taller man's face with both hands, "So please,
don't feel guilty. I want this as much as you do," he reassured the darkness,
kissing him softly.

Gold eyes shining with unshed tears of joy, the
aqua-haired male drew his small mate into a fierce embrace, closing his eyes and burying
his face in the pale orange locks. ((How is it possible that I am so blessed?))

((Because you are you,)) Hanasaki replied hugging
him back just as tightly.

Smiling softly at the heartwarming scene, Seth
cleared his throat softly before speaking, "I would be happy to cast the spell when
we are finished here." He told them, receiving a heartfelt "thank
you" from them both.

"Yes, we still have the matter of the
remaining sealed kkwy and the missing ms-n hwi," Atem interjected,
deciding it was time to move their discussion along. Besides, the sooner they
finished, the sooner Seth could cast his spell. "Between the seven of us, we
have more than enough power to release Bakura, Marik, Isis, and Otogi all at once,"
he told the assembled men. "However, I feel it would be best to wait until we
have found and released our other protectors."

"But we already know where the other kkwy
are, why wait?" Jonouchi asked, confused by what seemed to him, an unnecessary delay.

"It's just a feeling I have," Atem
answered pensively, "I don't think it wise to release that much magic without some
form of protection."

"You fear an attack," Dartz spoke,
understanding the other ruler's apprehension. There was much that had been hidden or
"lost" over the millenia since their imprisonment and while their lights were
well versed in the world, there were still many potential dangers that they were unaware
of.

Atem nodded, crimson eyes narrowed in
thought. "We never knew just who that sorcerer was, or the type of magic he was
wielding. All we do know is that he succeeded and nearly wiped away all trace of our
existence."

"And Pegasus did say that all the hikari and
yami around the world went into hiding, but he couldn't find out why," Yuugi said,
gently squeezing Atem's hand to offer comfort to his mate.

Seth's own sapphire eyes narrowed, "In that
case, it is possible that he and his followers did the same and that his sect has
survived."

"That is what I fear," Atem agreed,
"and no offense to Jono, but if that is the case, it will be far too much for one ms-n
hwi to handle alone. That is why I feel we should find and release our ms-n
hwi: Mahaado, Mana, and Kisara, as well as the Atlantean knights: Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos."

"Two ms-n hwi," Jonouchi
interrupted.

"What do you mean, Jono?" Seth asked
his husband, curious as to the blond's statement as he had not yet seen all of the teen's
friends.

Atem groaned and slapped a hand to his face,
"How could I have forgotten? Thank you Jono." Seeing that Seth was
still confused, the young pharaoh explained, "Teana was reincarnated as well and is
their friend Anzu Mazaki."

"I see. Shall I restore her memories
as well?"

"You'd better," Jonouchi spoke again,
"She's been having the same dreams I have so I know it'll make her feel a lot better
to know she's not going crazy."

Yuugi stared at Jou in shock, ((She is?!
Why didn't she tell me?)) he thought, unconsciously sending it through his link. He
was feeling a bit hurt knowing that neither his best friend nor his oldest friend had
confided in him.

((I'm sure they both had their reasons, ari.
You know neither one would ever hurt you intentionally,)) Atem consoled him mentally while
verbally telling Seth that it would be a good idea to restore the girl's memories tonight.

"I wonder though," Dartz interjected, a
thoughtful expression on his face, "have either of you given any thought as to where
our missing protectors have been sealed?" Once sure he had everyone's attention
he continued, "Tomoya and I have been searching the archives extensively and have
found not even the slightest hint as to where they could be."

"I have a theory," Seth responded,
steepling his fingers thoughtfully, "to be able to seal Mahaado and Mana, both
magicians of unparalleled power and skill, along with the four most powerful shifters our
countries had ever known. To seal them so quickly and so permanently would take a
great deal of power and a place that would sap them of their strength."

Atem, Dartz, and Jonouchi stared at the High
Priest with dawning comprehension.

"The Shadow Realm," Atem breathed,
shocked that he hadn't thought of it before.

Seth nodded, "Yes, the Shadow Realm.
With your permission, I will go tonight and search them out."

Nodding eagerly, Atem grinned at his cousin,
"Of course. I'll leave it in your hands." Standing and pulling Yuugi
up with him, the Pharaoh said his goodnights and left.

Dartz did the same, staying behind long enough
for Seth to cast the memory spell on his mate, then carrying the sleeping teen back to
their tent.

"Are you sure you want to do this
alone?" Seto asked his darkness, finally expressing his concern once the others had
left.

"Yes nhy hm-ntr. If anyone
has sensed our activity, I stand far less chance of being detected if I go alone."

"You better come back to us alive and in one
piece Seth, or Seto and I will take turns kicking your ass," Jonouchi threatened his
older lover.

Smiling warmly at the concern of his two lovers,
Seth pulled them both into a crushing embrace. "Always, my loves. I shall
never leave either of you again," he vowed, kissing them both deeply in turn before
releasing them and melting into the shadows.
