Author's Note: Sorry this took me a bit longer than normal to get this out. I hope you like it!


I opened my eyes and found myself back in the helicopter. I nudged Seto in the ribs, forcing him to look at me.


"Seto!" I exclaimed. "Did you see that?"


"See what?" he asked staring at me quizzically. "I don't see anything. I think you're losing it."


I looked down at my hands, fiddling with my the Millennium Jewel for the remainder of the helicopter ride. Did I just see my past self with not only Seto, but also with the Pharaoh? My cheeks flushed red as the scenes played through my head once more. Does Yami know of this part of his past? Is that part of the past due to repeat itself as well?


**Fast Forward Battle City Finalists Arrive**


A mere week has past since Seto's tournament began. Seto, Mokuba and I stood inside Kaiba Corp stadium, where all the duelists who were lucky enough to make it to the finals were instructed to meet. Behind us, stood the Kaiba Corp blimp which would host the finals miles in the air. Seto stood firm in his spot, arms folded across his body as we waited for the finalists to arrive. Things have been tense between us lately due to my belief in the Egyptian past and Seto's lack thereof.


Seto 'hmpfed' in frustration and turn on his heels. "Where are they? Don't they know not to keep me of all people waiting!"


"Seto, calm down.." I spoke softly. "A lot has happened this week, they'll be here soon."


He approached me and placed his hand on my cheek, rubbing his thumb up and down and graced me with a small kiss which I gladly returned.


"Where would I be without you?" he asked out loud. I smirked with my reply.


"Well, still here." I simply stated. "But you'd be more of an impatient ass without me."


He smirked at me. This simple display of affection surprised, me considering the way things have been this past week. A smile formed on my face, and he returned it. But his attention was quickly diverted as he heard footsteps approaching. We both turned toward the sound and saw the dueling trio approaching us, along with their cheer section. Yugi, Joey and a blonde woman who I recognized as Mai Valentine came into view, followed in tow by Tea, Tristan, Duke and Joey's sister Serenity.


"Where are the other finalist?" Yugi asked as they approached us, looking around the stadium.


"They should be arriving shortly." Kaiba stated quickly. "Not that it matters since I'll be taking home the tournament championship."


"Hey, watch it!" Joey shouted at him with his fist in the air. "Just because you sponsored this tournament doesn't mean jack!"


"Hush it, Mutt." Kaiba shot back at him. Tristan and Duke held Joey back as he tried to lunge himself at Seto. Seto simply responded with a chuckle. The wind picked up around us in the stadium and we heard more footsteps approaching us.
