excavation in Egypt for their senior class trip, Yuugi and his friends unleash seven
powerful beings from their millennia-long imprisonment. These strange creatures, who
call themselves "darkness", will bring about a series of life-changing events
for the close-knit group of teenagers.

"Yuugi-kun!"

The teen in question swiveled his head around
just in time to be hit by a whirlwind of silver. Laughing giddily, Ryou tackled his
small friend, grabbing the amethyst-eyed boy around the waist and spinning him
around. "Arigato gozaimasu, Yuugi-kun!"

"Ryou-kun! Put me down!" the
small teen cried out, trying hard not to laugh as he did so. "I'm getting
dizzy!" he cried again, hoping he'd be set down before he got so dizzy he fell
over. Still laughing, Ryou did as he asked, giving the smaller male another hug
before bouncing back a bit, a huge smile on his face. "What's gotten into
you?" he asked, suspecting he knew the answer already.

"Bakura," Ryou answered cheekily,
wiggling his eyebrows at the other hikari.

Yuugi's eyes got impossibly wide as he stared in
shock at his silver-haired friend, that was something he'd have expected Jonouchi to
say! "It's always the quiet ones," he muttered mock sadly, shaking his
head. On a hunch he poked the taller boy in the chest and hit solid metal.
"You're wearing the Ring."

Ryou nodded, "Uh-huh. I figured it
would attract less attention if I kept it under my shirt."

Yuugi nodded in agreement, "Good idea.
I wish I could do the same with this thing," he said, hefting the Puzzle in his
hands.

Ryou smiled sympathetically at his friend then
decided to change the subject. "So we're doing research again today?"

"Yeah, it should just be the seven of us
today. Pegasus-san is wanting to talk with our "others" and Mai-san will
be doing categorizing."

"What about Malik-kun?" the
silver-haired teen asked his friend.

"Oh! He's been commandeered for the
day by his big brother Rishid. We probably won't even see him until dinner
time."

"Poor Malik-kun."

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

Holed up in the archives the reincarnated hikari
and ms-n hwi had settled in to continue to search for information on the items
they were all currently either wearing or carrying with them . . . for all of fifteen
minutes.

To no one's surprise, it was Jonouchi that
started it.

"So Yug' what do your new wings look
like?" he finally asked the question he'd been dying to ask his best friend, grinning
at the small teen.

Startled by the sudden question, the
amethyst-eyed teen blinked owlishly at his best friend. "Wha-?"

"Your wings," he repeated. I know
ya got em' since you completed the bond with per-Aa Atem, but you haven't shown
them to me yet."

Sighing Yuugi looked around at the rest of their
friends, noticing the curious expressions on all their faces. "All right,"
he relented, standing up and moving to a spot where he wouldn't bang them against
anything. "But everybody else has to show theirs too." After
receiving a round of agreements from his friends and waiting long enough for Seto to lock
the door, Yuugi took a deep breath and unfurled his wings.

To say Jonouchi was impressed would be a bit
inadequate but close enough. Seeing the small teen's massive light gold wings was a
clear indication that he was the pharaoh's light. The golden feathers shone with a
metallic sheen under the lighting and the bottom row of feathers was a pure white, making
it look like they were edged in the pale color. Each individual wing was easily
bigger than the teen himself, and Jou guessed he had a good eleven-twelve foot
wingspan. For one who had been magically trained, it was easy to see that Yuugi
would be as powerful as his mate once he completed his own training.

"Well, what do you think Jonouchi-kun?"
the small hikari asked, tired of the silent contemplation.

"They're gorgeous Yug'," he replied
honestly. "And since ya showed yours . . " the blond stood as he spoke,
stretching out his back before unfurling his own wings, "I'll show ya mine."

"Sugoi!" the teen squealed.
"They look so cool!"

Jonouchi's bright crimson dragon wings stretched
about thirteen feet from tip to tip and were slender in width with sharp claws at the
joint and at the tip of each wing.

"Jonouchi-kun, are you a hikari too?"
Ryou asked, a bit confused by the blond's wings, Jou didn't feel like a hikari or a yami.

"Nah, I'm a ms-n hwi. We're
kinda like you guys, but we're not as powerful and we don't always have wings."

Anzu picked up the explanation after making her
own light blue fairy wings visible, "We usually work as warriors, guardians, or
priests and like Jonouchi said, we don't all have wings. Jou and I are part of the
anthropomorphic group, of which there as many variations as there are animals in the
world. Then there are two human-looking groups: magicians, like my wife Mana
and her teacher Mahaado, and shape-shifters: like Kisara, Timaeus, Critias, and
Hermos. You'll meet them later," she added catching the confused look on Ryou
and Honda's faces.

"Anzu, your wings are really pretty,"
Yuugi told his oldest friend, admiring the shimmering appendages and noting that her wings
were much smaller than his or Jonouchi's giving her a wingspan of just seven feet.

"Thank you, Yuugi. I'm glad you still
like them," she replied happily.

"Still?"

She nodded cheerfully, "Yep! In our
first life, when you were still a baby, you would stare at them in total fascination and
were constantly trying to grab a hold of them when I was watching you." She
told him, giggling when the poor teen blushed brightly in embarrassment.

"Don't be embarrassed Yuugi-kun. You
were a very cute baby," Hanasaki told him, unfurling his own wings and stunning those
who hadn't seen the unusual appendages of the former Atlantean. Hanasaki's wings
were very unique, the large appendages seemed to be formed from a softly glowing water
with an aqua iridescence that appeared to be in perpetual motion, and his wingspan was
easily as wide as Yuugi's, indicating his own high level of power.

"Those things never fail ta amaze me,"
Jou told the little teen, Anzu nodding in agreement. The wings of the Atlantean
royals were an impressive sight for anyone to see, especially when they were in
flight. Hanasaki just blushed modestly in reply.

"C'mon Seto, show everybody yours," the
blond encouraged his lover giving him a gentle nudge to his side.

Shrugging and giving a small sigh, the tall
auburn-haired teen stood and stepped back from the table. Exhaling he unfurled his
own appendages, revealing the huge white dragon wings he'd recently acquired to an
admiring crowd. Equal in length to Jou's, Seto's wings were far wider indicating the
higher power and his only had the one claw at the joint.

"They're like a negative version of
Seth's," Hanasaki commented, remembering the High Priest's own black dragon wings.

Grinning like a lunatic, Jonouchi hugged his
lover tight, "Yep! They're my light and dark bookends," he commented,
earning himself a thwap to the head and a mumbled threat from his irritated boyfriend.

Honda snickered, standing as he commented,
"Good to see that having your past memories back hasn't changed you much," he
commented as he unfurled his wings, revealing the green feathered appendages. Tipped
with white, they stretched out to a roughly eight-foot wingspan. "You think I
can get mine restored?"

"Sure, we'll ask Seth ta do it tonight if ya
want," Jou answered the brunet before turning his attention to the quiet,
silver-haired teen in the corner, "Okay Ryou, you're the last one."

"Okay," the teen replied, moving out of
the corner and out to where he'd have more room. Taking a deep breath he unfurled
his own wings to their full ten-foot wingspan. Pure white feathers, with a row of
silver ones lining the bottom edge, gave one the impression that an angel had just
appeared before you and momentarily took everyone's breath away.

Yuugi and Hanasaki were immediately at the
silver-haired teen's sides, cooing over the beautiful wings that nearly rivaled their own
in their exotic beauty.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jou noticed the
subtle downward twitch of Seto's mouth. ((Don't feel bad, Dragon. They wanted
ta do it ta you but you know and I know and most importantly, they know that if they tried
ta give ya that kind of attention, you'd freak and push them away.))

The auburn haired hikari made no reply, but Jou
could feel the lightening of his lover's mood instantly.

((Seriously. I could see the "squeal
and glomp" look in Yuugi's eyes. Just say the word and he'll be all over
yours.))

Seto snorted mentally, ((Hmph. You worry
far too much, pup.))

Reassured, Jonouchi couldn't help but smile as he
watched his normally anti-social boyfriend walk over to the others and begin asking
Hanasaki questions about his unusual wings. It seemed the genius teen could not
resist the urge to learn just how the "liquid" wings could get the other hikari
airborne.

"You know, I don't think this is what
Pegasus meant for us to be doing today," Anzu said, coming up next to her fellow ms-n
hwi as Honda joined Seto and the other lights.

"Somehow I don't think he'll mind too
much," was Jou's reply watching the hikari interact fondly.

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

Across the camp, Pegasus sneezed in the middle of
his meeting with the yami and ms-n hwi. Apologizing and shaking it off, the
modern darkness continued with his crash course on the twenty-first century. There
was a wealth of information that the Ancient Egyptians and Atlanteans needed to know and
as the only one born in this era, Pegasus felt that it was his duty to ensure that they
were well prepared for the rest of the world.

But modern events weren't the only things they
were discussing. When Pegasus informed all those assembled that all their
reincarnated mates were still in school, he had immediately had to launch into a lengthy
explanation of the modern educational system as well as the reasons why the youngsters
were training for a career. He had been pleasantly surprised at how well they all
seemed to be taking the idea that they would be for most intents and purposes,
commoners. Atem and Dartz had then stunned him by admitting to having secretly
longed for the chance to live a life with only the responsibilities they chose to take on,
not ones they were born into. Seth had then commented that if they really wanted to
rule again, they had plenty of time to do so later on in their lives. Of course this
statement had led into a lengthy conversation explaining to Pegasus some of the things
that he hadn't learned about being a darkness yet.

Another topic had started with Pegasus' reluctant
admission of the disappearance of Atlantis from the Earth. When the silver-haired
man had told the former king that it was rumored Atlantis had sunk, the aqua-haired
darkness had actually begun laughing. Dartz then proceeded to explain to a baffled
group that one of Atlantis' defense mechanisms was to shift dimensions and it was far
easier to move a city down than any other direction. Speechless, Pegasus had just
stared at the man in shock as the concept that the "lost" city of Atlantis might
not be lost after all, slowly sunk in. However, Dartz had no idea as to why the city
would take such a dramatic effect or why they would stay hidden for so long.

Bakura suggested that it might have something to
do with the strange absence of akhu and kkwy the world over. He
could understand why the Egyptian ones had gone into hiding, but why had all their kind
vanished? While not as numerous as humans, their kind had existed in every known
part of the world. How could they all just disappear without a trace, leaving almost
no sign of their ever having lived? The possibilities were disturbing.

Back at the sleeping tents, the hikari Cynthia
was learning some very surprising things from Chris about her mommy. The young woman
had cheerfully offered to watch over the girl in order to allow both her parents and her
guardians the opportunity to work without having to be concerned over her safety.
Plus the fact was that Cynthia adored children.

Currently, the little brunette was sitting on a
chair while the blonde woman fixed her pigtails since as she had run about, her hair had
gone askew and the blonde had offered to fix it for the child.

"Thank you Lady Cynthia," Chris said
politely, admiring her newly re-pigtailed hair then standing and curtseying to the older
woman in her new skirt. "Mommy usually fixes my hair when I mess it up, but
Daddy said I have to let him study today."

Catching the unusual title the young child had
for her teenage father, the blonde-haired woman decided to simply ask about it.
"Chris, why do you call Tomoya-kun, "Mommy"?"

"'Cause Daddy said that I grew in Mommy's
tummy for nine months and that's why he's my Mommy and Daddy is my Daddy," she
answered honestly, looking confused as to why she was even being asked.

Cynthia's light blue eyes grew wide in shock,
"Tomoya gave birth to you?"

Chris nodded emphatically, "Uh-huh.
Daddy said that with humans and most other creatures, only the girls can have
babies. But lights and ms-n hwi can have babies too, even if they're a
boy like my Mommy!"

"Oh my!" the gentle woman exclaimed,
"I didn't know that," she confessed to the child, the implications of that small
bit of information beginning to settle in. If the child's statement was correct,
then that could mean they may already have a MALE pregnant teenager on their hands.
