Summary: Sequel to Retrieving Destiny. Months
after their fateful trip to Egypt, the reunited soul mates continue to adjust to their new
life in Domino as well as the modern teens' impending graduation. Things appear to
be going well until a strange series of seemingly random attacks and bizarre accidents
begin plaguing both the lights and their protectors, forcing their lovers into
action. In order to protect their mates, the ancient beings must now determine not
only the fate of the "lost" city of Atlantis, but also their entire
species! The race is on to find the answers before they all face annihilation at the
hands of an unknown enemy.

chapter, I'm calling the Dartz x Hanasaki pairing: Legendshipping. ^_^v

Seated in the nearly empty auditorium alongside
members of the drama club, Yuugi smiled as he watched Anzu dance across the stage.
He wasn't a member of the drama club, but he Anzu, Mana, and Atem were going out shopping
after Anzu got through with practice, so he was waiting for her to finish rehearsal.

As far back as grade school, Yuugi had loved when
their class would perform plays with dance numbers in them almost as much as Anzu
did. During every performance the graceful dancer came alive and it was in those
times that he was able to watch his oldest friend shine. This year the senior drama
members were performing for their graduation and much to his delight, Anzu had one of the
lead roles.

x-x-x-x-x

"Wow Anzu-chan, you guys have gotten so much
better! The routine has really improved!" Yuugi gushed excitedly to the pretty
brunette.

"Thanks Yuugi!" she replied, blushing modestly. The small teen had always
been her biggest supporter and his vote of confidence really made her feel better.
She knew that despite being her oldest friend, Yuugi had never been anything less than
honest with her about her performances.

"I can't wait to see your first costume rehearsal!" he continued on, practically
skipping beside her in his joy. Anzu grinned down at her friend and ruffled his hair
fondly.

"Well, you'll have to wait another couple of weeks just like everyone else," she
said, giving her friend a playful wink.

"Aw, Anzu!"

x-x-x-x-x

Outside, Atem and Mana were waiting by the front
gate, looking a bit harried from all the attention they were receiving from the small
gathering of fans they'd acquired.

Since their arrival, the young yami and magician
had been approached by numerous classmates of their lovers. Much to both their
irritation, it wasn't merely the curiosity of seeing potential new students that had
caught their attention. Rather it was physical attraction that had drawn them to
approach the two Egyptians.

The two had even been asked out on several dates,
all of which they had politely turned down, but their refusals seemed to be falling on
deaf ears, as the requests kept coming. Being such a bright and vibrant personality
Mana's natural charm drew in even more attention than Atem, so the young magician bore the
brunt of the inquiries directed at the pair.

Atem on the other hand, with his dark aura, exotic skin tone, and unusually colored eyes
had attracted what could only be called a small "harem" of sighing, fawning
girls. The former pharaoh was getting increasingly flustered as he continued to
politely refuse their advances while insisting that he was already spoken for.

This was how Anzu and Yuugi found them.

Making use of her natural-born grace, Anzu easily
slipped between the crowd of boys to rejoin her wife. Reaching her side, the
brunette was rewarded with a cheerful cry of her name before Mana glomped her and planted
a sweet welcoming kiss to her lips. Around them the boys began to catcall and
whistle at the embracing women, to which Anzu calmly raised a single middle finger in
response.

Shaking his head at the scene, Yuugi turned his attention to his own floundering
lover. Knowing it would be impossible to reach him otherwise, Yuugi used his small
size to his advantage, slipping and weaving between the horde of girls surrounding his
dark.

((Hang on love, I'm coming,)) he sent telepathically to his beloved.

((Thank the gods, ari. I was beginning to think I would have to resort to drastic
measures,)) Atem replied, gasping as Yuugi abruptly popped up in front of him.

"Miss me?" the amethyst-eyed hikari
asked, twining around his beloved like a vine.

Amidst the indignant yells of "Hey!"
and cries of, "What are you doing Mutou?" Yuugi turned slightly, just enough so
he could give them a feline smirk before pulling a very willing Atem down into a deep
kiss, the former pharaoh purring and eagerly crushing his lover to his chest.

When they finally separated, a lightly panting
Atem smirked at the surrounding girls, "As I told you before ladies, I am already
spoken for."

With that declaration the crowd finally dispersed
with just a few final disgusted groans and disappointed moans.

"Well, now that that's over I guess we can get going ne?" Anzu stated
cheerfully, wrapping an arm around Mana's waist.

"ari, I hope you will not be offended if I do not wait for you here in the
future." Atem stated, casting a wary glance back at the handful of girls who had not
yet left the area.

Yuugi giggled and gave Atem a quick kiss on his cheek. "I understand completely,
koi." ((You can wait down the block for us next time if you'd like.))

((Thank you ari)) Atem replied, mentally sighing in relief.

Mana giggled as well and shared a grin with Anzu, the two women having a very good idea
what the yami and hikari had been talking about.

x-x-x-x-x

Waving goodbye to Mokuba, Honda, and Otogi,
Jonouchi grinned as he stepped away from the limo door, closing it on the three remaining
occupants. Seto, Seth, and Jou himself were going out to dinner tonight and Jonouchi
had thought it would be a good idea for them to take a nice, romantic walk beforehand.

Excited at the prospect of spending time outside
with his lovers, Seth had jumped at the chance and with Katsuya's help, had easily cajoled
his hikari into joining them. It hadn't taken much effort their part since, contrary
to his pale appearance, Seto loved nature and spent as much time as possible outside.

Having no particular destination in mind, the
trio walked in a companionable silence, enjoying the sights and sounds around them without
a care. Eventually they began talking about their futures: It was already a
given that Seto would be going to university to get a business degree, but Jonouchi had
yet to make up his mind. The blond had far too many interests and had been unable to
find one that he would be comfortable doing for the rest of his life. In the
meantime, he would take the general education classes Domino University required.

Eventually the trio came upon a large pond and
stopped to admire the sunlight glittering on the surface.

"My loves," Seth spoke, getting their
attention, "We have spoken of your future schooling, but we have yet to discuss when
we would start to have children."

"WHAT?!" Seto exclaimed while Jou
merely blinked in response. Neither teen had been expecting that question, but Jou
wasn't nearly as shocked as Seto. With his memories as Jono he was more surprised
that the yami hadn't brought it up sooner.

"Is it really so surprising that I wish to
see both my beautiful akhu and husband heavy with child?"

Recovering, Jou smiled wryly at his
husband. "Not to me, but-"

"Not a chance in hell!" Seto blurted
out, glaring at both his lovers.

"But nhy hm-ntr, do you not want
children of your own?" Seth asked, genuinely confused and a little hurt by his
light's reaction. Never before had he heard of an akhu that did not want
children or their own. It was one of the most precious gifts that they were blessed
with, something that both halves yearned for, so why would Seto refuse?

Eyes closed, Seto shook his head briefly before
fixing the priest with determined eyes. "It's not a matter of wanting; it's a
matter of security. Magic has been lost to most of humanity for centuries, so if any
male were to get pregnant it would create a media sensation should the pregnancy be
discovered.

"Someone else may be able to hide a
pregnancy, but I never could. I'm the CEO of a powerful, international
company. If I suddenly gained weight or dropped out of public for nine months and
then came back with a child, people would start to question it. Then investigators
would dig and dig until they found out why."

Ignoring the sharp pang of longing for something
he could never have, Seto continued, "Eventually, someone would let their guard down
and then we all could be exposed to a world that isn't ready to have us back.

"I can't- no, I won't risk that
happening," the brunet continued softly, blue eyes glimmering with tears he refused
to shed.

"Oh Seto," Jou murmured, pulling his
boyfriend into a hug. He should have realized that his genius lover had been
thinking over the situation from the moment he'd learned he could conceive.

Drawing both teens into his arms, Seth buried his
face in Seto's lighter hair. ((I am sorry, antyw akhu. I did not
realize it would be so dangerous for you to have children.))

A sigh. ((No Seth, it's not your
fault. I know its not how things used to be.))

Pressing a kiss to Seto's cheek, Jonouchi smiled
softly. "Ya know, just 'cause ya can't have a baby now, doesn't mean ya can't
ever have one. I mean, we are gonna be alive for a few centuries aren't
we?" Laughing at their stunned expressions, the blond leaned in and kissed them
both, his lovers were so cute when they let their guard down!

"Katsuya, you're brilliant!" Seto
exclaimed, spinning the blond around and them both out of Seth's arms. Dizzy, Jou
tried to get his bearings only to find himself spinning again, this time in the arms of an
exuberant High Priest. Waiting for the world to stop swirling by, keeping a tight
grip onto Seth's shirt to keep himself upright Jou almost missed the yami's next question.

"I suppose that means you will be the first
one pregnant?"

Blinking his eyes rapidly to clear them, Jou
shook his head. "Not for a few years Seth," he answered, placing a hand on
the yami's mouth to prevent him from saying anything. "Seto's not the only one
that's been thinking about this." When he was sure his older lover was going to
listen, he removed his hand, "We've gotta lot of responsibilities already and I'm not
sure if we should be adding onto them so quickly. Seto and I have got at least four
years of school ahead of us and Mokuba's still a kid himself."

Seth regarded his husband thoughtfully, "So
what you're saying is-"

"We should wait at least until Mokuba's in
High School before we start talking about having kids."

"I think waiting is a wonderful idea,
puppy." Seto told the blond, pressing a kiss to his cheek, "and I'm sure Mokuba
will enjoy being an uncle more when he's older than he would right now."

x-x-x-x-x

While the priests and their puppy talked about
the future, Ryou and Malik were downtown finishing up their grocery shopping.

Since the two couples lived across the hallway
from one another, they had taken to eating dinner together most nights. This way
they were able to combine their budgets and afford to prepare better quality meals.
Of course, Malik's vegetarian diet made planning a bit more complicated, but they managed
to work things out so Malik got his veggies while Bakura and Marik got their red meat.

Exiting the market the boys headed for the
crosswalk, chatting happily about their after-dinner plans. Waiting until the signal
changed, the two hikari made it halfway through the intersection when a van came barreling
around the corner and headed straight for the unaware teens.

Panicked cries of "Look out!" caught
their attention too late and both teens froze in terror. Onlookers watched in shock
as two tanned hands gripped the backs of their shirts and jerked the teens to safety in
the nick of time.

Shaking horribly from the fright, the two teens
looked up at their saviors and were stunned to see their wonderful darks holding them
safely to their chests. Flinging their arms around their yami, the two hikari
struggled to calm themselves, unwilling to breakdown in front of total strangers.

Holding their hikari close, the two yami locked
eyes and an unspoken message passed between them. That had been too close.
