Duelist Kingdom, present day

Pegasus J. Crawford had always known
he was different. Highly intelligent and inquisitive, as a child he'd been drawn to
both the supernatural and the paranormal, reading every fantasy book he could find and
filling his notepads with detailed drawings of mythological beings. He was always
searching for proof that magical creatures really did exist despite the disapproval of his
parents and the teasing he'd gotten from his peers.

Then he'd turned thirteen.

The poor boy had suffered miserably
for days, not knowing that the high fever and sharp pains between his shoulders were all
just a precursor to the next stage of his development: his wings. The two foot
long, black appendages had burst forth from his back in a blast of energy, leaving him
exhausted and very, very confused. But despite his love for the toonish batwings,
his fear of what others would think instinctively gave him the knowledge of how to retract
them, though he often brought them out where no one could see. For years after that,
the teenager had pored over every single document he could find pertaining to any type of
winged humanoid. Researching stories from every ancient culture he found nothing
useful until he got a hold of a book of obscure Ancient Egyptian legends, but even the
information there was sketchy at best.

When Cynthia came into his life his
priorities quickly changed. The pull he had felt around her was indescribable and
soon his whole world revolved around the gentle blue-eyed blonde. It was Cynthia who
had convinced him to use his intelligence to combine his artistic talents and his apparent
love of mythology into a game. Duel Monsters quickly became a hit and it was on the
eve of the game's first anniversary that Pegasus had finally showed her his wings.

With the now three foot long
appendages stretched out, the silver-haired man had apprehensively awaited her
reaction. He'd been immensely relieved and delighted when she began cooing over them
while delicately running her hands along the edges in awe.

Pegasus had immediately asked her to
marry him.

Much to both their surprise, Cynthia
sprouted a pair of white, toonish angel wings on their wedding night, and the two had
gained a strange but welcome mental bond as well. The occurrence of these strange
events had prompted the young man to begin his search once more, this time armed with
experience, money, and a supportive wife.

Returning to the Egyptian legends
he'd found before, Pegasus discovered the legend of the Sennen Items and the tragedy of
the court of Pharaoh Atem: a kind and benevolent ruler, said to have possessed wings
the color of sunlight, who was betrayed and imprisoned by a powerful sorcerer. The
full extent of the tragedy striking him hard when he realized that not only was the legend
true but somewhere beneath the sands of Egypt there were others of his kind imprisoned.

During the time he was hunting down
legends, Duel Monsters had become a worldwide phenomena and his board of directors was
insisting that he attend the national and international tournaments. Eventually he
gave in to their request, after all he did love watching people play and enjoy his game,
but he felt that his presence would seem a bit pretentious. Cynthia and the duelists
had disagreed.

He never expected to find others of
his kind there.

When he first met Yuugi Mutou and
Seto Kaiba at the Duel Monsters World Championships he was shocked speechless. The
two boys were the spitting images of the carvings he'd seen of the Pharaoh Atem and High
Priest Seth, minus the huge wings of course. Strangely they both exuded the same
light aura his wife did, leading him to believe that they were the akhu
reborn. Galvanized by his accidental discovery, the eccentric man redoubled his
efforts in finding the Sennen Items and began a second search for the remaining akhu
who had died three thousand years ago, a strange inner sense telling him that they were
all alive again and that he must find them as quickly as possible.

Now, twelve years after he first
learned the legend of the Sennen Items, his search was at an end.

"Finally, I've found the last
one!" the silver haired man shouted, throwing his hands up in delighted relief.

"Really?" a melodic voice
asked, startling him so badly he almost into fell over in his chair.

"Ah! Cynthia my
darling! I didn't hear you come in!" he exclaimed, turning around to pull the
pretty blond woman into his lap. "And yes, I have finally found the last of the
reincarnations." He smiled and gently cupped her cheek with one hand,
"Now all that remains is getting them to Egypt."

"Do you think they'll
come?" she asked, holding his hand to her cheek.

"I'm sure I can come up with
ways to entice them into coming," he reassured his lovely wife, pressing a gentle
kiss to her lips.

Domino City, Japan, three
months later

Bouncing on the balls of his feet, a
short teenager with spiky, star-shaped hair waited anxiously on the street corner for his
best friend, his long, jagged, lightning-like blond bangs, and magenta-tipped black locks
of hair bobbing with his movement.

Spotting the lanky blond coming up
the street, his large amethyst eyes lit up in delight. "Jonouchi-kun!" the
petite eighteen year-old called out cheerfully, receiving a friendly wave in return.

"Hey Yuugi!" Katsuya
Jonouchi greeted his friend, grabbing the small teen in a light headlock when he reached
him. "How was your weekend?" he asked casually as though his best friend
wasn't flailing in his grasp. Dragging the shorter teen along, Jonouchi's
honey-brown eyes sparkled with amusement from beneath his shaggy bangs as he tried not to
laugh at the muttered threats and curses coming from the smaller male.

Unwilling to go down without a
fight, Yuugi Mutou decided to make good with his threats and started poking at the blond's
unprotected midsection searching for a par-tic-ulaaar spot . . . there! A sharp bark
of laughter from the blond told the petite teen that he'd found his mark and he ruthlessly
took advantage of it, tickling his best friend for all his worth until the other teen was
forced to release him. Free
from the clutches of his taller friend, Yuugi carefully finger-combed his hair back into
shape before shooting Jonouchi a scathing glare that, with his wide eyes and cherubic
features, didn’t look very menacing.

"Jerk," he grumbled,
tugging sharply on the blond's shaggy, shoulder-length hair.

"Aww, I'm sorry Yuugi.
Don't be mad," Jonouchi pleaded, giving the tri-color haired teen his best
"kicked puppy" face.

Deciding the blond deserved a bit
more punishment Yuugi huffed and walked away ignoring the blond's pleas for forgiveness
until they met up with Anzu and Honda.

Having witnessed this scene many
times before, Hiroto Honda rolled his hazel eyes at his oldest friend. Knowing
Jonouchi, the blond had either given their small friend a noogie or put him in a headlock
. . or both. Having grown up with the blond, the brunet teen had been on the
receiving end of those antics more than once, but it didn't bother him as much as it did
Yuugi, since his own college-cut styled hair was easy to put back into it's wedge shape
and he was big enough to properly retaliate.

The other brunette Anzu Mazaki,
simply rolled her light blue eyes and attempted to hide her amused expression behind her
short bangs and above the shoulder, bob-cut hair. The only girl in their group, Anzu
had been Yuugi's friend ever since they first met back in grade school and was fiercely
protective of him. She'd been thrilled when her once-shy childhood friend had
befriended the rough and lanky blond and even after all this time it never ceased to amuse
her how over-dramatic Jonouchi would get when Yuugi pretended to ignore him, sometimes
going so far as to latch onto the petite teen's leg in an attempt to make the smaller male
drag him along. Of course, Yuugi wasn't anywhere near strong enough to drag him so
they just ended up stopping until Yuugi gave in and "forgave" the blond.

Which was a perfect description of
the current situation.

This time though, Jonouchi had
decided to up the ante and was currently sobbing and wailing in an incredibly
over-dramatic display of theatrics while Yuugi desperately attempted to keep a straight
face. Unfortunately all the noise was starting to draw a crowd and at Anzu's
insistence the two boys dropped their act and the four friends ran off, not slowing their
pace until they turned off the street.

Catching sight of his friends Ryou
Masayume (1) smiled brightly and reached down to tap the shoulder of Tomoya Hanasaki
(2). Gray eyes blinked in momentary confusion from behind wire-rimmed glasses as the
small teen looked up from his manga at the chocolate-eyed boy standing next to him.

"Yuugi-tachi is here,"
Ryou told him, brushing an errant lock of his thick, jagged cut, waist-length silver hair
back over his shoulder.

"Ah! Ohayoo minna!"
Hanasaki exclaimed, shoving his manga back into his backpack as he stood.

"Morning guys!" Honda
greeted the two slim-built teens, ruffling Hanasaki's short, messy cut, light orange
hair. Pouting, the slight teen repaired the minor damage, receiving a sympathetic
smile from Yuugi.

"Why do they always have to
mess up my hair!" the small teen pouted as the group headed toward school.
Hanasaki stood just a few centimeters taller than the tri-color haired teen, making him
and Yuugi two of the shortest boys in their class, much to their immense frustration.

"At least it wasn't a
headlock," Yuugi grumbled, falling in step beside him.

"Jonouchi-kun?"

Yuugi nodded,
"Jonouchi-kun."

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

Stepping out of his limo Seto Kaiba
immediately began scanning the school grounds, his bright blue eyes sharp and focused as
he searched for a specific head of blond hair belonging to his boyfriend Katsuya
Jonouchi. Normally when Jonouchi stayed at his home over the weekend they would ride
to school together, but today Seto's younger brother Mokuba had needed to be at school
extra early, so Jou had opted to walk with their friends instead.

It wasn't a bad arrangement for
either teenager however it left the taller youth with the annoying task of having to track
down his wayward puppy. Scowling when he saw no sign of his boyfriend, the tall
youth tucked a rogue strand of his neatly cut shoulder-length auburn hair back behind his
ear and stalked into the courtyard. He was so focused on his search that he failed
to notice the figure creeping up rapidly behind him.

"Mornin' beautiful."
A husky male voice breathed into his ear as the speaker's hands clasped his shoulders
firmly. Then those same hands quickly spun him around and pulled Seto flush against
the chest of a mischievously grinning Jonouchi before the startled teen could even think
of tensing up.

"You're impossible," Seto
grumped, scowling at his lover to hide the matching grin that threatened to break free.

Not fooled in the least, a still
grinning Jonouchi playfully flicked the center lock of auburn hair that hung lower than
the rest of Seto's bangs, "but you love me anyway."

"Always pup," Seto
replied, giving up his charade to capture Jou's lips in a tender kiss, his arms coming up
to hold the blond in return.

Making a soft approving hum, Jou
leaned into the gentle embrace, content to lose himself in his lover's arms . . .

"Jonouchi! Kaiba!
If you two don't separate this instant, I'll send you both to the office for a PDA
violation!"

The shrill voice of the assistant
principal pierced their ears violently, causing both boys to jerk apart. Jonouchi
was embarrassed at having been caught . . . again, but Seto was beyond pissed at the
interruption. Directing his icy glare at the harridan still screeching at them, he
was frustrated beyond belief when not only did she have the nerve to glare back, she also
kept lecturing them!

"-don't care if you are legal
adults. I won't have you setting a bad example for the younger students!" she
chastised the pair, determined to get her point across. Fortunately for the two
teens, the telltale sounds of an impending fight drew her attention to the far side of the
courtyard and she quickly left them to ward off disaster.

Wanting to avoid further conflict
with the overly moralistic administrator, the blue-eyed teen wrapped an arm back around
Jou's waist and quickly guided the blond towards the front entrance of the school and
their awaiting friends.

By the last class of the day most of
the students at Domino High were barely hanging in, their attention broken by even the
slightest distraction as they eagerly awaited the final bell that would set them
free. Yuugi was the exception to this rule. This was because Yuugi's last
class was World History, his absolute favorite subject. Somewhat of a History buff,
Yuugi placed the blame of this particular quirk on the same shoulders responsible for his
unusual hair, his grandfather.

When their History teacher, an
attractive middle-aged woman who had yet to lose her love of teaching, came into the room
it was immediately obvious that she was excited about something. Her eyes were
sparkling and she had a slight bounce in her step as she made her way to the front of the
classroom that had everyone's attention on her.

Stepping up to the podium she sat
her book and lesson planner down, then picking up a lone sheet of paper from the top,
cleared her throat before she began to speak, "All right class, I have an exciting
announcement!

I just received news today that out
of all the senior classes in Domino City, OUR class has been selected for a wonderful,
once in a lifetime opportunity! We've been specially chosen to participate in a
real-live archaeological dig in Egypt!"

Amidst the excited murmurs of his
classmates, Yuugi sat up straight in his chair, his eyes wide with surprise, they were
going to Egypt?! No way!

But the more their teacher
explained, the more Yuugi came to believe and the happier he got. He was finally
going to see Egypt! He couldn't wait to tell his grandpa!

Behind him, Jonouchi felt his heart
begin pounding in anticipation maybe he could find the answers to his dreams in the
country they seemed to occur in?

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

"Tadaima Jiichan! (3)"
Yuugi bellowed cheerfully as he entered the tiny game shop he called home. Orphaned
at infancy, the small teen had been raised by his eccentric grandfather and it was from
him that he gained his love and mastery of games of all kinds. In his youth his grandfather, Sugoroku Mutou, had
traveled the world seeking out dangerous games, spending his later years working at
archaeological digs up until he took over Yuugi's care. So young Yuugi had grown up
hearing Sugoroku’s tales of travel, ancient legends, and magic and curses, all of
which were fueling his growing excitement for the upcoming trip, he just knew his
grandfather would say yes!

When he didn’t receive an
immediate answer to his greeting, the small teen frowned thoughtfully and made his way up
the stairs. Why hadn’t his grandfather answered him?

Reaching the apartment above the
shop, he called out again, kicking off his shoes and dropping his backpack in the living
room as he waited for a reply. Before he could get too concerned the familiar sound
of his grandfather’s voice drifted in from the kitchen and Yuugi realized that he
must be on the phone. Interest piqued, he went
to find out who he was talking with, stopping just outside the doorway when he noticed
something odd. It wasn’t often his
grandpa had phone calls in English. Leaning
against the wall, he cocked his head towards the kitchen and focused on translating:

“Of course I’ll make sure
they all come.”

Silence.

“If I have any trouble
I’ll be sure to call.”

Yuugi strained to hear the voice of
the person his grandfather was talking to.

“I’ll talk to you after
the forms are in. Goodbye.”

With the conversation over, Yuugi
decided it would be best to enter the kitchen and ask before he was caught. “I’m back from school Jiichan!” he
chirped, bouncing into the kitchen to give his grandfather a hug.

“Welcome home, Yuugi!” the
elderly man exclaimed returning the greeting and the hug.
“Did you have a good day?”

The small teen grinned and nodded
enthusiastically at his equally short grandfather before attempting to satisfy his
curiosity. “Jiichan, who were you talking
to?” he asked innocently, as though he hadn’t been eavesdropping.

“Oh, just an old friend of mine
from America,” the elderly man reassured the teen, ruffling his hair fondly.

“Jiichan!” Yuugi
protested, "Not you too!"

Sugoroku just chuckled, "So did
anything interesting happen today?" he asked to distract his sulking grandson.

Irritation forgotten, Yuugi perked
up instantly, "You won't believe where my class gets to go . . !"

1 - dream that comes true, Japanese

2 - Tomoya Hanasaki. Cute
little guy who appears twice in Volume 1, becomes friends with Yuugi-tachi in Volume 3,
shows up again in Volume 5 then kinda disappears, which I've always thought is rather
sad. He's just a couple inches taller than Yuugi and I figured that he'd have done a
little growing too. Since there's no set color scheme for him in the manga, his hair
and eye color are my own concoction and if you go here: http://murasaki-rose.deviantart.com/art/Tomoya-Hanasaki-Age-18-114221730
you can see how I've pictured him for this story.

3 - I'm home Grandpa!
