Then the epilogue, were we get the puppy pileup and the final explaination of EVERYTHING.



Massage 109



As they finished the early dinner, they all headed home, leaving Joey with Alen, much to Seto's protesting.

"Come Katsuya, we have much preparation for you tonight. It will be a pleasure to do this again for you, as my ancestor long ago did the same for your first soul Jono. Your body has to be purified of all." Alen said, leading him upstairs.

Joey was cautious but curious at the same time, so following a few steps behind he followed him into one of the end rooms. As Alen opened the door, he found the room reminiscent of a Grecian Spa, but none that he had ever seen. The entire end of the wall was a window, that had a bay edge to it, complete with Orchids and other exotic flowers. In the middle of the room was a small whirlpool, that Joey could tell was heated, and from the smell a blend of mineral and sulphuric, making the bath a true cleanser. It was something that he wanted to incorporate into his own shop, but for something like this he had to be licensed for. The actual interior was a blend of whites and gold making it soothing and relaxing at the same time. There were a few tables in place, and off the side was a mud bath for one, and on the opposite side of the room a stand up shower. Overall, it was a beautiful indoor spa room.

"The first thing we are going to do Katsuya is get you relaxed. You spend your life taking care of others, and do not take care of yourself. Today, the day before the greatest journey you are going to take, I am going to take care of you, like my ancestor did." Alen said, as he placed a robe beside the small pool. Coming over to the pool, he had it heated already, when he knew that Joey was going to be coming, but had not started the water moving, which he did now. He then moved over to the mud bath and turned this on as well.

"Please feel free to use the screen and undress. I will turn around for your privacy, but if you could go into the pool, this is the first place that I wish you to go into." Alen said, and at that turned around, not facing Joey. Intrigued as to what he had planned, but from what it appeared was not malicious, he did strip and placed his clothing onto the small settee by the screen. Since he was turned around, he didn't see the need to go behind it. Alen turned around when he heard the tell tale splash of Joey entering the bath, surprised at the heat that was just perfect for his body. He found that the head of it had a small rest, so Joey aligned his body to that rest, and placed his head onto it, thereby holding him in place, while his body lost all resistance to the Thalassotherepy that he was experiencing, though it seemed to be more then that. The waters did feel very much like the ancient Greek baths, but it seemed like it was more.

"It is Katsuya, nothing but the best for you. Remember this. You are loved, and wanted." Alen whispered to him, as he took his head into his hands, and began to massage his scalp, further relaxing the blond. After a time, Alen turned off the spa waters, and now that Joey was very relaxed, did not think anything of it, when Alen dried off his body, and led him to another pool, this one not of water, but of mud. Leading him inside, he helped Joey to settle down into it and Joey let out a sigh of bliss. As he relaxed, Alen used a soft brush and began to paint a mask onto his face, which to Joey smelled like a mix of the Dead Sea, Seaweed and Sandalwood and Lavender.

"It is my child." Alen whispered ever so softly, so softly that Joey did not hear him, but Alen had small tears in his eyes. He then left Joey for a time, so that his body could detox, and it also allowed his mask to dry. Alen took this opportunity to gather a few cheeses and black olives, which Joey did not know, but were his favourites, or more specifically, Jono's favourites. It also had some pomegranate seeds already prepared as well as some grapes that he knew he would appreciate. He needed to keep it light, so that his stomach would not feel upset while Alen massaged him after the mud session. This also gave him time to relax. 'We are so close...' he thought to himself, as he allowed a few more tears to fall, thinking of the blond and his dragon upstairs.

Returning with the small Tapas plate of the items, he saw that Joey was asleep in the bath. Which was fine with him. His next step in detoxing his body of all the remaining impurities was to use a seaweed wrap on him, and he wanted to do this while the mud was still on him. Gently lifting the boy out of the bath, he slightly moaned, and then nestled himself against the man. Alen did not mind that his clothes now had mud all over them, but the trust that this boy had just shown him, nearly broke his heart. Moving him onto the table that had been prepared, he laid him down and began the process of laying the seaweed onto his body. The table already had the seaweed on it, so Alen had laid him onto this and using more strips covered his entire body in it. He then used heated towels against him and placed an electric blanket onto him, putting it on low, but allowing him to relax, completely mummified in the seaweed.

While Joey slept, so relaxed from the treatments, he grabbed a small sink that was portable, and began to cleanse his hair. Not surprised at all at the care that the boy had for his glorious hair, he only used a cleanser on it, and then a moisturizing conditioner, mixed with a few essences such as egg and lemon juice, to make his straw gold hair shine brilliantly. Wrapping it after the cleansing, he sensed that the boy was awakening.

"Welcome back. Did you enjoy your rest." Alen said softly

"I did, and I feel so wonderful. I need to incorporate some of this into my shop. This is all amazing." Joey said with a happy smile on his face, but not too much as the mask was still there and it was dry

"I am glad to be of help, but this treatment would be only for brides. I have a feeling that Ishizu and Pegasus are doing the same for Seto though. They were Atem's priests, but they serve the Pharaoh, and that is what your boy is." Alen said, then cursed as he revealed that he knew the Pharaoh's name

"How did you know the Pharaoh's name? We never told anyone..." Joey said, tilting his head back so that he could look at the man, even if it was upside down.

"As I said to your very inquisitive mate, Tuesday. I will tell all on Tuesday. Don't disappoint me dear boy. I am not going through this again." he said, though the last part he added under his breath, but Joey caught it and filed it away for the future.

"Okay, I trust you." Joey said, and laid back and settled down, focusing on relaxing. He could tell that by the shadows in the room that the sun was going to be setting soon, and he did not think that they had been there for that long, but apparently they had been.

With him down, he didn't see Alen very large smile and with that, he walked over to where he had placed the plate. Since he was still wrapped in the seaweed, Alen took a few of the pieces of cheese and broke them apart, so that Joey could eat something without having to use his hands. Joey looked at him strangely, as even Seto did not do this with him, but nodding, Alen moved forward and placed the cheese onto his lips. Joey's agile tongue grabbed it and he ate the pieces slowly. Soon, all the food was gone, and Joey was pleasantly full, considering that it was such a small meal. At least small compared to what he usually ate. Which amused him.

Alen then removed the blanket, and then the towels. He then began to remove the seaweed and the mud had begun to harden, just as it was supposed to do. Helping the very weakened Joey, he got him into the shower, where they unwrapped his hair and he washed away the mud and the hair treatment. Alen then handed him a towel, and led him back to the table that he had been on, now free of the seaweed and cleaned from the flecks of mud that had been there that Alen had removed while Joey showered.

He directed him to lie down onto his back, and began to gently massage his body, though not needing a deep massage, as the Thalassotherapy had relaxed him greatly, and the mud and seaweed removed every impurity in his body. Alen then used an oil on his body, and slathered it onto him, giving a smell of Vanilla and Caramel, one that he would not have expected in an oil, but it was there. Finishing, Joey was completely asleep. Knowing that he would need his rest for the day tomorrow, he finished the rest of what he had planned for the little bride, and turned him over. Removing the towel, he went over to his stand, and using the ancient Egyptian method, he used a type of sugar wax and removed all of Joey's body hair from his nether regions. Which is one of the reasons that he left this for the last. He didn't think that Joey wanted a perfect stranger handling his little dragon, which had been a pet name for Jono's favourite body part.

Dawn approached, and Alen came into the room that after he had finished the massage, had brought him into. The room was very reminiscent of what Hanna had created, but instead of blue and silver, it was dominant in Gold and Black, with hints of red garnets. Joey awoke to see Hanna standing over him, tears in her eyes.

"Hanna, what's wrong." Joey said waking up, and noticing he was naked, brought one of the bed sheets across his midsection.

"I'm so HAPPY!" she said as she burst into tears.

And at that Joey just smiled.

Alen then walked in and saw the acolyte crying. "Now my child, don't cry. You need to be serving your priest for today. Come, I have breakfast made, though it is light. I have a feeling that anything heavy would not be good. We will save that for after they return. They will most likely be ravenous for food." Alen said with a smirk, and as Hanna giggled, Joey went beet red.

"Come Katsuya, it is time. Time to greet your husband and end your curse." Alen said looking at Joey with such love, that Hanna had only seen that on Seto. Like Joey and Seto, she wondered who exactly she was in the presences of

-- ‡ -- ‡ ---- ‡ -- ‡ ---- ‡ -- ‡ --

Seto had awoke to the sight of his younger brother looking at him, tears in his little eyes. He was already dressed in a tunic appropriate for a young prince of Egypt, his hair tucked away into a small blue/gold headdress that was reminiscent of Seth's. Unlike the grandeur of Seth's High Priest gear, as Pharaoh they had decided on a bare chested Seto. They created a tunic that was mid thigh, and had the grandeur necklace around his neck. They had also found Atem's arm bands and wrist bands, which they knew they would be able to use for Seto, though he was more muscular in the arms then Atemu. Today was a day that he was glad that he worked out every day, and his body may be lean, but he was built. So he wouldn't be embarrassed by being nearly naked in front of his peers. Now...if he just resist screwing Joey in front of them.

Getting up, and into the shower, he cleansed his body of the oils that Ishizu had massaged into his body, as Pegasus had awaited him outside in the bedroom. The night before she had treated him to a Pharaoh's version of a spa treatment, including a back massage paying great attention to his lower back. She then finished it with heating stones, that he had fallen asleep to. Despite how much he disliked Pegasus, he had come to admire him in the devotion to the wedding that Pegasus had fallen naturally into.

"Pegasus, while I dislike you, and quite frankly I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop, I thank you for giving Joey his dream." Seto said, in the only way he could show appreciation for what he was doing

"Thank you Seto, I do appreciate you showing some sort of affection" Pegasus said, for the first time addressing him by his first name and not Kaiba-boy.

"Very well, let's get this started. I have a husband to claim." Seto said as he walked over to the mannequin that held his wedding garbs. It was then that he noticed that he didn't have any hair in his nether regions.

-- ‡ -- ‡ ---- ‡ -- ‡ ---- ‡ -- ‡ --

Joey had been shocked, to say the least about what they put him into. He absolutely adored the headgear that they had created, but the gown, and it really couldn't be called anything else, was something that in his wildest dreams he had never expected to be wearing. Especially for an Egyptian wedding.

Then the two utter shocks. One that Alen had waxed his privates completely free of hair, so that he had no hair anywhere down there, and that two, they had made him naked underneath. Hanna had giggled and said that it made better access. To which he blushed again. He suspected that instead of a golden complexion, he was going to have a red complexion all day. Then Alen whispered to him "Claim him, take him to heaven child" and then walked out of the room. He had been getting so many strange, yet familiar vibes from Alen that he felt he knew him, yet did not. But they had two hours before the wedding at 9am and they needed to get going.

As they got into the limo nearly 30 minutes later, as it had taken them that amount of time to pick up the fabric and gently get him out the door after breakfast, they headed inside, with both Hanna and Alen at his side. They were quiet, but Joey could not stop himself from thinking that his mother and sister not coming, but as he had that thought, he could have sworn that the look of absolute hatred flashed across Alen's face, and he whipped out his cell phone and in rapid Greek, that neither of them understood, he barked out a list of orders, at least that is what it sounded like, given the punctuality of the statements, and with that complete turned off his cell and continued to be silent.

The rest of the drive was just a silent, but it gave Joey time to reflect on everything. Without thinking, he closed his eyes, and entered his soul room, to see his past lives. Inside there was a party going on, with Jono wearing the same dress that he was currently wearing.

"How did he know Jono?" Joey asked his first life and originator of the soul.

"Tomorrow, will tell you tomorrow. Now FUCK our Dragon into oblivion and end this." Jono said, but with a smile on his face.

"Okay. I will see you afterwards then." Joey said and emerged from the soul room

"And how are they?" Hanna asked him as she saw him emerge.

"Having a party, and I have orders." he said with a grin.

"And I can imagine those orders." Alen said with a grin matching Joey's

"I bet you can." Joey said, knowing that if his hunch was right, his Dragon was gonna get the biggest shock of his life.

"Not until tomorrow Katsuya." Alen said though he winked at him

As they arrived they could see that nearly everyone was there. They had left themselves a good 15 minutes to get Joey into place, and to limit any extra contact. They still had the ceremony to get through, and then to protect them while they consummated the marriage. And Alen was not leaving his side until both of them gave up their virginities. Even if he had to watch them. Though, he highly doubted that when they got the go ahead to let loose, they weren't going to be noticing anyone but themselves. Fortunately, he had suggested a place to Hanna for them to copulate and she had cooed, just like a mother at the romantic atmosphere. Which she had taken care of, instead of assisting him last night. When she had arrived later that night, to inform him that it was complete, she had seen Joey looking more serene then he had looked in a very long time. And her heart nearly broke. He was such an angel, like her Pharaoh's light and he did not deserve what had happened to him. Now, being able to see the end to the ancient curse and everything, she had been crying most of the night.

As they entered the room that Hanna had made for Joey two weeks previous, they began the traditional ceremony. They had now arranged for his Priest effects to be brought into the room, symbolizing the actual marriage, which was the 'bride' moving into her prospective husband's home. As per tradition, a contract had taken place, and between her and Isono, all of Joey's wealth, including the 20 percent of stock that he owned in Kaiba Corp, to be transferred to Seto upon the consummation. Isono chose to keep that to himself, as he did not want his boss knowing just how much influence Joey had over the CEO if anything had not occurred as it had.

As they left, Alen adjusted the Daphne or Laurels that Joey had wanted to adorn his hair. As well the Ion or Violets were interlaced with his headdress that the brim of was tucked under his hair, making only the laurels and the Horus Eye piece that had spikes like the Millennium Bracelet adorning it making both tinkle when he moved. His hair had been waved slightly, so instead of it being a poufy straight mess, it glided over his long neckline in waves, but softly curling at the edges.

As they began to hear Joey's favourite classical piece Clair de Lune begin to play, they exited the back room, and walked toward the edge of the cliff, where the wedding ceremony was to take place. As he walked he could hear the gasps of everyone, as the could not only see he was naked underneath but that he was wearing a snow white toga, that was clasped with the symbols of one of the Greek Gods though, Joey knew now who Alen was, and was determined not to say anything, at the edges that held it in place at the shoulder. It was sleeveless but draped in a cowl like manner, exposing the top of his neck and collarbone. At his feet were pure gold sandals, that could slip off quite easily if needed.

Coming closer, Joey could see that they had dressed Seto in full Pharaoh regalia. He had a hat with the Symbol of Set at its base, and a tall hat reminiscent of his time that he remembered in the Memory world. However, unlike that High Priest, Seto decided to forgo this, and instead displayed his gorgeous chest to everyone. He had gold armbands at his biceps and his wrists. At his waist was a gold band, and on it was the Millennium Rod, though just below it was his tunic. Or more specifically, his skirt. They had removed the hair that Joey knew fell all the way down to his cock, but right now it seemed missing.

"Dragon..." Joey whispered as he came up to Seto, touching his face softly

"I didn't get my night or morning kiss Puppy. You owe me." Seto said rubbing his face into Joey's hand. As usual in the morning they didn't notice anyone else until they had their fill of each other, and made many of the hearts melt that was witnessing their union. Only a few knew it was 5,000 years in the making.

-- ‡ -- ‡ ---- ‡ -- ‡ ---- ‡ -- ‡ --

"We gather here to unite these two soul mates in the soul bonding. Once complete, they will have knowledge of each other and of themselves. If there are no objection by the chime of the five beats of the bell, then the gods will deem these two worthy of entering their hallowed halls." Alen said, in his full regality. Like Joey, he too had laurels at the side of his head, but unlike him, he had a Grecian tunic and his toga gathered at the side, showing a peek of his chest on the right.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...





Five...

"The gods have deemed them worthy as no one person can give a reason as to why they can not be joined in the soul pond for all eternity. To symbolize this, they have chosen rings to display their love and wear them well. Now like 5,000 years ago, you both must speak from your hearts and give your soul mate a reason for joining." Alen said, placing a hand on each of their shoulders, like the bind between the two as Joey took Seto's hand first and placed the ring that had been made of white gold, with a sapphire inside. Upon closer inspection could you see the Blue Eyes White Dragon encircled around the ring..

"From the first time I saw you, I was attracted. And then pissed. You didn't acknowledge me ya bastard! After everything ya wouldn't even TALK to me. Then you had the nerve to ta piss me off again when ya beat me, when you KNEW I didn't remember the game. Yure lucky ya didn't wake up with an asp in yure bed ya asshole." Joey said, needing to get his feelings out about how much it hurt to know Seto but have his love hurt him.

And Seto smiled. He too took Joey's hand and placed his ring of Black onyx, with gold filigree around it. Inside was a stone of Garnet and Sapphire encircling each other like a Yin/Yang with the image of the Red Eyes Black Dragon etched into the black onyx

"I knew. I was testing you. I remembered your fire, and I wanted to see if you still had it. And you did. You made me hard all that night pup. I loved you then, just as much as I love you now. You have always been a bright light that burned brighter when your passion is ignited. When you would touch me, fire between us would flare and would blaze as brighter. And when you would cover your body with me, I felt the warmest fire from the touch of your soul. I love you Jono, Jorrin, Jorma, Johfrit and Joey Katsuya, Golden High Priest of Osiris, and my husband." Seto said, and he stepped forward, and he placed a hand onto Joey's face, his thumb brushing against the tangs of the headdress that rested against his temples.

"Yure so strong Seto. Stronger then me. I've lived through hell in this life, and I had to do it without you. When Dad would beat me, Jorrin would comfort me, but it wasn't you. It never was you. When I first met you, Dad had beaten me so badly that my ears were ringing. Then I saw you, and I tried to run into your arms. But you stopped me. It hurt...it hurt me so bad. I kinda lied about the party...it wasn't a party, it was the gathering of them to prevent me from taking my life. If I couldn't have you, then I didn't want to live." Joey said, tears in his eyes, as did Seto. Neither of the boys heard an audible gasp in the crowd but some of the others did and turned to see a woman with tears flowing down her face, being held by a younger woman, who looked like her.

Seto then looked at his brother, and Mokuba nodded. At that, Seto began singing a song that had Joey in complete tears at the end:

You are everything I need to see

Smile and sunlight makes sunlight to me

Laugh and come and look into me

Drips of moonlight washing over me

Can I show you what want from me

Angel of mine, can I thank you

You have saved me time and time again

Angel, I must confess

It's you that always gives me strength

And I don't know where I'd be without you

After all these years, one thing is true

Constant force within my heart is you

You touch me, I feel I'm moving into you

I treasure every day I spend with you

All the things I am come down to you

Angel of mine

Let me thank you

You have saved me time and time again

Angel, I must confess

It's you that always gives me strength

And I don't know where I'd be without you

Back in the arms of my angel

Back to the peace that I so love

Back in the arms of my angel I can finally rest

Giving you a gift that you remind me

Angel of mine

Let me thank you

You have saved me time and time and time and time again

Angel, I must confess

It's you that always gives me strength

And I don't know where I'd be without you

Angel of mine

Let me thank you

You have saved me time and time again

Angel, I must confess

It's you that always gives me strength

And I don't know where I'd be without you


"Puppy..." Seto said, moving closer to him, now both hands encircling his face, his thumbs along the edges.

It was then that they heard a voice that could only described as an angel singing. It was a beautiful and rich contralto, and made everyone that heard it feel like they were being bathed in pure silken caramel. Joey had tears in his eyes but with purpose began to sing louder the song of his heart:

It's time to move out of the darkness

Use what you feel inside

Your faith alone will guide you

Feel the turning tide

Seto smiled as it was one of his favourite songs as well, and it had always made his heart swell every time he heard it.

It's in your heart, it's in your soul

Don't be scared, keep believing

I know you know, deep inside

That your time has come

Once in every lifetime

If you do believe

Man can move a mountain

Change the course of history

How far we've come

So far from home

Trust in your path, you've been chosen

Become your destiny

Lead and they will follow you

Your truth will set you free

It's in your heart, it's in your soul

Don't be scared, keep believing

I know you know, deep inside

That your time has come

Once in every lifetime

If you do believe

Man can move a mountain

Change the course of history

How far we've come

So far from home

The music that had been used to accompany Joey played their interlude before the last verse of the chorus was played, which Joey picked up into, the tears flowing freely now from his eyes, and his voice slightly breaking, but still just as strong

Once in every lifetime

If you do believe

Man can move a mountain

Change the course of history

How far we've come

So far from home


At the end, tears were flowing down Joey's face, the emotions of the song, that echoed their lives so greatly. He had known when he heard this English song that he had to sing it for his dragon, and had been practising it at the shop until he had begun to make Malik cry. It was then that he knew he had it right.

"I love you. I love all of you. Every one of your lives. You are my heart, my body, my mind and my soul. I am yours for all time." Joey said, and closed the gap between them and pressed his lips against Seto, making the bond complete. And at that Alen released his hands from the boys and Seto took him closer into his embrace. As they kissed, Joey began to glow, and all of them began to encounter a curious Caramel and Vanilla scent, making many of them uncomfortable as they were beginning to feel strange sensations.

Mokuba then looked at Alen and smiled, as he pressed a button, and the two holo emitters that had been set up beside them generated the image of a blue eyes white dragon and a red eyes black dragon, hovering over them.

"And as the officiator of this marriage, you are now officially in the eyes of Man and Gods married. And to authenticate the marriage, I am going to lead you down to where you can consummate the marriage, since I know that you two want to." Alen said, though Joey and Seto were still kissing, and Joey was beginning to glow brighter, and half the guests were attempting to loosen their clothing, as they were all being aroused beyond their abilities.

"Katsuya..." Alen whispered to Joey, and this allowed him to break the kiss, and with huge gulps of air, he closed his eyes and reigned in his hormones.

"Thank you Alen." Joey said, though very unsteadily. Fortunately Seto was still holding him against him, though Joey could tell that he was highly aroused.

"Move! I am not taking any chances." Seto said, though it was in a voice that he had not heard in 5,000 years.

"As you wish Pharaoh." Alen said, with a grin, and walked with them to the edge of the cliff. When they reached the cliff, they could see that a remote controlled lift had been placed and just at the edge of the water, was a futon. Both boys spotted this, and eagerly entered the lift. Alen then used the remote control that Mokuba had given him and with the boys safely secure, pressed the button to lower them to the cove, as there was no access to the cove other then by boat. And Mokuba had taken care of the area surrounding the cove, by placing up a force field around the edge, so that if they came by sea and attempted to shoot them, the bullets would not pass through. Now only Alen stood guard, the only person with the control, as he watched the two boys gleefully run from the lift and headed to the futon






Song is "Once in a Lifetime" from Jem that Joey sang,and it makes me cry every time I hear it. I hadn't originally meant to add it, but when I was re-reading this, the song began as I was going over the vows, and I just had to insert it. The second song is "Angel of Mine" from Evanescence, and I can feel that the song echo's exactly Seto's thoughts at his puppy.

Reviews acknowledgements will be in the epilogue chapter. And that one is a monster...over 10,000 words and that one I wrote Sunday. From 7am in the morning until 2am in the morning.
