Sacrifices for Family and Love

The Oasis

After breakfast was eaten, the group got ready to go to the Oasis.

"Where's Yuug at?" Jou asked.

"Yuug?" Yami asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Just a little nickname that we call her every so often." Jou said, shrugging.

Heba rolled his eyes. "More like the one that you call her." Heba clarified.

Jou shrugged. "It's not like Yuug really minds being called that." Jou said.

"Anyway, where is Yuugi at?" Atemu asked.

"If I know her, she's probably changing." Heba said.

"Changing?" Eternias asked.

Ryou laughed. "You didn't expect her to go to the Oasis in a good dress, did you?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah. She never goes in a good dress there." Malik added.

"I would rather not mess them up." Yuugi said.

Everyone turned to see that Yuugi was wearing a skirt that reached her knees as well as hung off her shoulders a little bit. Her hair was also in a long ponytail like always.

"I see that you still prefer those types of clothes going to the Oasis." Heba said.

"I have to when I consider the fact that you, Malik, and Jou have this odd tendency to push me into the water." Yuugi said, glaring at the three mentioned.

All three smiled guiltily.

"Certainly a beautiful woman." Eternias muttered.

"Yes. She truly is." Yuesei agreed.

"Shall we go?" Yuugi asked.

The group agreed and mounted their horses.

"Please tell me that this place isn't that far away." Seth said.

"No. It shouldn't take us but about fifteen minutes to reach the Oasis." Jou replied.

"Good." Seth said.

"Does he not like to ride horses?" Ryou asked.

"He does. It's when it gets so hot that it really irks him." Jou answered.

The group had their horses go and started toward the Oasis.

True to Jou's word, they arrived at the Oasis within fifteen minutes.

"Wow." Anzu breathed when she the Oasis.

"This is largest Oasis that I have ever seen." Honda said.

"We know. We were rather surprised when we stumbled across this Oasis when we were younger. We got to the point that we were using it as a place to go and have fun." Yuugi said.

"We had to considering the face that father wasn't one who believed in fun" Heba muttered.

"Okay. That's a little harsh. Father may have been a little strict, but he still let us have fun." Atemu said.

"Doesn't matter now." Jou said.

The Oasis was surrounded by trees on all sides. The water itself didn't look very deep, but it was clear. So clear that the bottom could be seen.

"Not many people know about this Oasis. That's why it's in such good condition." Yuugi explained.

"This is actually how Malik and I met Bakura and Marik." Ryou said.

"How's that?" Jou asked.

"We stumbled across this Oasis when we were wandering. Yuugi, Ryou, and Malik came here while we were there. At first, they thought that we were going to try and hurt them, but they learned very fast that we had no intention of hurting them. In fact, they mentioned that the Oasis didn't actually belong to anyone. We started to come there and see them." Bakura said.
