Summary: Sequel to Retrieving Destiny. Months
after their fateful trip to Egypt, Yuugi and his friends have adjusted to life with their
ancient soul mates. Things appear to be going well, until just weeks before
graduation, a series of bizarre accidents and seemingly random attacks begin plaguing the
lights and their protectors! When the teens learn the "accidents" were
planned by the same ones responsible for the attacks, their ancient lovers are forced into
action. In order to protect their mates, the yami must determine, not only the
location of the "lost" city of Atlantis, but also the true fate of their entire
species! With new enemies coming at them with increasing power at every turn, will
they find the answers they need before it's too late?

The convention was huge.

There were companies from all over the world
represented here, each setting up shop to display the latest in their technology or the
finest in their product lines. Of course Kaiba Corp would have it's own booth in the
convention hall, but that would be run by techs and other specially chosen representatives
of the company. As the company president, Seto wasn't about to be trapped down
amongst the masses playing show pony. Instead he would be spending the bulk of his
time amongst his business peers discussing trends, upcoming mergers, and possible joint
projects. Later on, after the public part of the convention officially opened he'd
be unveiling a special preview of his newly upgraded Duel Disks.

For the first four three days of the convention,
CEOs, inventors, technicians, designers and artists alike would spent most of their time
in meetings and seminars. The last three days were when every company attending
would display their wares for a select number of the public along with potential buyers
and distributors. Having received one of the coveted Saturday slots for his Duel
Disk unveiling, Seto would be able to reveal his product to the greatest number of
potential customers and leave a day early as a bonus. (A fact he and Seth had hidden
from Jonouchi in order to surprise him.) The teenage CEO had hand-picked each of his
company representatives for Kaiba Corp's booth, so he trusted them to run it alone on the
final day AND get everything packed up and brought back to Domino.

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

The first day passed rather slowly and with
little event. Since most of the arrivals were still recovering from jet-lag there
were few meetings or events scheduled, mostly just a few casual meet-and-greet luncheons
and dinners.

For Seto, and Seth who was listening in, the most
interesting day was the second one. On the second day, Seto was attending seminars
and panels with other technicians and inventors to give himself a better idea of what was
coming from his competitors and to see if any of them had potential to be used in
conjunction with Kaiba Corp's own technology. It was a day he could happily immerse
himself in techno-geek heaven with others who completely understood.

From the sanctuary of their private suite, Seth
couldn't suppress the huge grin on his face as he basked in his light's uninhibited
joy. (The yami was equally happy that he didn't have to appear in front of the
other's so his silly grin was hidden to all.) In this environment, his hikari did
not have to be the stone-cold CEO of Kaiba Corp that his rivals knew. Here,
surrounded by men and women who thought much like he did, the teenage genius was simply
allowed to be the creative inventor that he was at heart. Happily discussing
theories and the pros and cons of certain types of technology over others with an almost
childish enthusiasm that the light rarely was able to show.

By the end of the day, Seto was practically
glowing with happiness when he retired to his suite for the night. Still infused by
his hikari's innocent delight, Seth eagerly pounced on his happy light and ravished the
boy thoroughly.

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

The third day of the convention found Seto deep
into the business aspect of his trip. It was on this day that he would spend most of
his time conversing with other CEOs. The meetings and discussions he would have
today could, and in some cases would, have major impact on Kaiba Corp's future. That
didn't stop it from being boring as hell.

'I swear if this wasn't so important-' the brunet
thought as he pasted on a polite smile as yet another of his foreign associates approached
him.

"Ah, Kaiba-san. I'd like to introduce
you to my daughter-"

((I'm horny.))

Seto barely stopped his eyes from widening at his
yami's sudden interruption. Of all the things to say!

((Horny?! Seriously Seth, I think you've
been spending too much time with Katsuya. His vocabulary is starting to leak into
yours,)) he sent while verbally making small talk.

Seth snorted physically and mentally, ((It's
infuriating hearing all these men throwing their daughters at you when they know you have
Jono. I'd be more than happy to come down, banish them to the shadows, then bring
you back up here to have my way with you.))

Seto fought down a blush as the yami
continued. ((I should do it. Or better yet, I could just take you right
there.))

((Seeeettth~))

((Yeesss,)) the dark hissed back, ((Just waltz
right in and swallow the room in shadows. I saw some chairs earlier that would work
beautifully antyw akhu (1). The backs are low enough to bend you over and
present your perfect, pale ass up like an offering.))

Seto bit the inside of his cheek to stop from
moaning at the imagery his own mind conjured up. Embarrassed, he snapped back at his
dark, ((Stop it! If I get an erection in here, I'm cutting you off for a
month! And when Katsuya hears about this he will too!))

((Very well,)) the former priest assented
reluctantly. No matter how possessive he was feeling, it wouldn't do to punish his
light for something that wasn't his fault.

Politely making his excuses to the older man and
his daughter, Seto quickly made his escape and was once more walking amidst his business
peers, his expression calm and focused. Seth on the other hand, knew that was
nothing but a well-crafted mask over his hikari's inner angst.

'If one more of these boorish assholes introduces
me to his daughter then I am going to scream!' the brunet thought in frustration.

((Calm yourself nhy hm-ntr (2). It
would not do your image any good if you did so.)) Seth sent to his light, switching
from possessive, sex-machine to supportive protector instantly in the same, strange manner
all yami seemed capable of.

Feeling his dark's soothing, shadowy presence in
his mind did indeed help calm the agitated brunet, but not completely. ((Do you
think they would get the hint that I'm not interested if I started smacking my head
against one the walls?))

Seth chuckled, ((I doubt it. I suspect they
could walk in on the middle of you, me, and Jono making love and they would still offer
their daughters to you.))

Hiding his smirk behind a water glass Seto
replied, ((Speaking from personal experience, Seth?))

Groaning, Seth flopped back onto their hotel room
bed. ((Unfortunately, yes. Not that anyone who was not family had ever walked
in on us, but yes, both Jono and I frequently had nobles attempting to gain favor and
power in court by offering their daughters and sons hands in marriage.))

((Did they not realize you were a kkwy?!))
the teen sent indignantly to his other half.

((They did. But they thought that since
Jono was my husband and not my akhu, that I might be tempted into taking
another. Then there were those that were aware of Jono's position in court and hoped
to tempt him away instead. None that tried seemed to understand that our loving Jono
was a rare event in itself. Most didn't even consider that you were part of the
equation. They simply thought that because you were younger, you would do whatever I
wanted.)) Seth laughed to express to Seto just how ridiculous he found that
notion. Even in their first life, Seto had been a strong-minded child with a
strength of character rarely seen in one so young.

Catching a flash of pink in his peripheral
vision, Seto couldn't help but groan and roll his eyes mentally. ((Oh kami, he's
here.))

Picking up on his light's irritation Seth
inquired, ((Who's here, my light?))

((Someone I had hoped to avoid, Seth.)) Seto
replied absently while scanning the crowd. ((I haven't seen him since we were
children, but I've heard things . . . He took over his father's company this year so I
knew this would be a possibility.))

"Seto Kaiba, how good it is to see you
again! It's been what, nine, ten years now?"

"It's been nine, Schroider-san." Seto
replied to the man who had just addressed him. 'Not nearly long enough.'

Like Seto, Siegfried von Schroider was the
teenage CEO of a game company. But unlike Kaiba Corporation, Schroider Corporation
had always been a gaming company. One that Siegfried had inherited from his father
just as Seto had inherited Kaiba Corp from his adopted father.

Fortunately for Seto, further pleasantries with
the irritating teen were delayed as another of their peers approached them and engaged
both teens in conversation. Taking advantage of their distraction, Seto decided to
take time to allow Seth a chance to view Siegfried through his eyes so he could form his
own opinion of the German CEO. Concealing his amusement behind his business mask, he
couldn't help but feel just a little smug. He'd felt the shock from his darkness,
followed quickly by confusion at the other's appearance. Siegfried did tend to have
that effect on people.

((akhu? Is that normal attire for
men of his country?)) The other teen had waist-length pink hair with straight bangs
covering his forehead and made his bright aqua eyes stand out, but this wasn't what had
stunned the yami. It was the dark rose-pink suit the other teen was wearing.

((No. Schroider just likes to get as much
attention as he can, in any way possible.))

((I see.))

Their silent conversation was cut short when the
man who'd interrupted them before said, "If you'll excuse us Kaiba-san, I'd like to
introduce Schroider-san to an acquaintance of mine."

"Of course," Seto replied, shaking the
man's hand. Anything to get away from the other teen.

((You know he's going to try and foist his
daughter off on him right?))

Seto inwardly smirked, ((Of course.))

"I suppose we will just have to catch up
later then, Kaiba-san," the German teen said regretfully, giving the Japanese teen a
short bow before offering his hand. Reluctantly, Seto returned the bow before taking
a firm grip on Siegfried's hand.

No one could have guessed what happened next.

As the two young men gripped hands, the
equivalent of a mental shock jolted through them both. For Seto it was over as
quickly as it had started, but it was another story all together for Siegfried. In
an instant, he had dropped Seto's hand to grip his head with both hands as a sharp,
jabbing pain pierced him between the eyes. The jabbing sensation continued until the
German teen was forced to his knees as the intense pain increased to the point that he
felt as though his brains were being crushed to a pulp.

Stunned, Seto and the other guests could only
look on in horror as the hotel staff quickly carried the now-writhing CEO out of the
dining hall and to his room while the hotel manager called for paramedics.

Still in shock, Seto stared at the now-vacant
spot where his business rival had crumpled to the floor. What had come over the
man?! One moment they were shaking hands and the next . . . ((Did-did I do that?!))
he unconsciously sent, fearful that his still-new abilities might have somehow harmed the
other teen.

((NO! No my light, you did nothing to him.
Whatever caused his collapse was not your magic.)) Seth declared vehemently.
((It was just a coincidence.))

((Could he have had some sort of pre-existing
condition?))

((It is possible, my light. But there's
something about him . . something I don't like.))

Seto snorted mentally ((That makes two of
us. He's a spoiled brat who loves to flaunt his wealth at every opportunity.
Worse, his business practices and product lines are completely uninventive.
Supposedly he's a genius, but I've yet to see any proof of that beyond his test scores.))

((I see.)) And while he heartily agreed
with his light's assessment of the other man, he couldn't help but feel unnerved.
Having felt the other teen's aura through his light, he had sensed something that had
instantly caused the hair on the back of his neck to stand on end. There was
something familiar in that aura, and whatever it was the former High Priest felt it did
not bode well for their future.

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

Hours after his collapse, Siegfried still writhed
on his bed mindlessly, the relentless agony in his skull unimpeded by the powerful pain
killers the doctors had given him. They had tried to get him to go the hospital, but
the teen had refused, wresting control over the pain just long enough to throw them out
before collapsing again.

Visions had been flooding his mind relentlessly
in a violent torrent, forcing him to relive a life, millennia gone. Then, as if a
switch had been flipped, the visions stopped and aqua eyes snapped open, a disturbing
clarity shining in them.

Sitting up he gingerly rubbed the ridge between
his eyes as his headache slowly subsided. Able to think clearly once more, he began
to methodically sort through the information that had just been dumped into his mind and
came to several startling revelations: First, he finally understood what all those
dreams he'd been having were about. They weren't strange flights of fancy or the
product of insufficient diet and sleep. No, they were glimpses into his past.
A past that now had a great deal of bearing on his current life. Now that he had his
memories back he knew exactly why it was that Seto Kaiba irked him so. It wasn't
mere jealousy that made him hate the other teen, but a deeply hidden memory of what the
Japanese teen really was.

Having touched the other and felt his aura, he
knew that it went beyond a physical appearance. Even now, Kaiba not only looked like
his sealed darkness, but in his youth had been a dead ringer for his past self!

Getting out of bed and moving to the window,
Siegfried opened the shades to gaze at the busy city below. "To think that
there are remnants of those human mockeries still hiding in our world!" he growled,
lip curling in disgust. He'd gone through so much work to wipe them out of Egypt,
only to find one reborn and living successfully amongst humans here in Japan!
"Wretched akhu! I'll kill you myself, little priest! You and any
other abominations that may have returned!"

Calming himself, Siegfried smirked at his
reflection in the glass, 'Patience Siegfried, patience. First I should try and
locate my acolytes' descendants, they may prove useful and should know the current
location of the Sennen Items.' Siegfried's expression turned a bit crazed as he
thought, 'Oh how fun it will be to destroy the wretched akhu with power provided
by his own kkwy!'

"Just you wait, Seto Kaiba. Soon you
and all your fellow abominations will be extinct!" he proclaimed, laughing madly.
