The Draconian Ruby

Quick reviews and answers to all of you:

To S_R - Because only the fates were controlling the evolution of the soul pond, when all the souls were born they knew that their soul mate was not among the living. With Johfrit, he could see when he would be born. And you have to remember, being 35-40 isn't old, and the earliest Johfrit would have taken him, would be at 35.

To Tauri Wheeler - I would like to think I do. I, at one time, wanted to be an Egyptologist and History has always fascinated me. Writing this and remembering all I learnt was a great joy in remembering my past training I did 15 years ago in high school. (And yes I am THAT old)

To melodyz07 - thank you again for coming back to the fic. I love return reviewers! For the most part the two souls that will be interacting a lot is going to be Johfrit, whom I LOVE, and Jono. The others as great and equally tragic as they are, were also fairly isolated. Only Jono and Johfrit were 'learnt' journeymen, and would have a great deal to contribute to the spirit that is Joey.


Massage 106




As Hanna stopped by the high school later that day, she was surprised to see her Pharaoh's light, all by himself. Getting out, she came over to the boy, and she could see his eyes widening at her presence.

"You're Hanna, aren't you?" the boy said turning to her

"Yes I am consort of the Pharaoh." Hanna said bowing to him.

"Uhhh...." Yugi said blushing hotly

"Unless you would like me to call you what I know my Pharaoh would REALLY have like to call you...My Queen?" Hanna said, her eyes twinkling in merriment as her sovereign was now scarlet red in embarrassment. She heard him mumble and she giggled

"I didn't hear you too clearly My Queen? What was that again?" she said giggling, as she could see him getting slightly angry

"What did you just call him?" a voice said, coming from the doorway of the entrance to the school

"I'm not a girl..." Yugi said a bit more forceful, as the two men that had been exiting the door, came over to their friend, carrying extra books, intended for Joey

"I never said you were my Queen." she said as the other two kept giggling

"You're not gonna stop that are you?" Yugi asked the woman

"No..this is fun. I take it Katsuya is not here?" she said addressing the others. As they nodded, her eyes began to sparkle, as she moved from them and headed back to her car. As she turned to them, as they were still standing there, she said "Are you coming or what?" as she piled everyone into the car and headed towards the Kaiba Mansion

Joey and Seto emerged from Joey's soul room, still exhausted, but both under the blankets, holding each other close. While in there, They had talked with the spirits, as they wanted to grow closer to each other. As well, Seto learned that they were not attracted to Seto himself, as they entire being had been for Seth only, and he belonged to Joey, who lived and breathed for his Dragon. Though Jorma and Jorrin both had petted Seto, unlike the others, they had not even attempted masturbation, as they were the purest of them all. As they awoke, Joey saw the food that had been made beside the bed. Grinning, he got up, and moved the tray that had been on the table beside the bed onto the front of him and began to devour the food. Seto then woke up, to see his love eating faster then he ever thought possible.

"Didn't Jono EVER teach you to eat?" Seto said his eyes twinkling

"Hey I will have you know...I burned a lot of calories..." Joey said his own eyes twinkling

"Not as many as you will in two weeks though." Seto said his lips curled up in amusement

"Hmm, I can't wait to take your name..." Joey said softly, leaning over and burying his head into Seto's shoulder, his lips nuzzling the top part of Seto's right side

"Thank you my love." Seto said resting another fear...who was going to take whose name. Though he despised the name Kaiba, it was a part of him, and it made more sense for Joey to take Seto's name, then for Seto to hyphen the names.

It was like this that five curious souls entered Seto's bedroom, and four of them were in utter shock. One of them, expected it, and walked over to her lords and picked up the tray.

"Are you done now my lords?" she asked, her eyes twinkling as the others were stunned

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING IN MY BEDROOM!" the expected explosion screamed

"Uh, Seto, we didn't expect you in here...I'm really sorry...." Mokuba said, though the smile on his face wasn't showing he was sorry, just very devious right now.

"Hey...uh...Joey............I guess you found him?" Tristan said, still in shock to find the two of them in bed, and nuzzling each other. Duke poked him out of his stunned silence, and Yugi...Yugi had tears in his eyes.

"You did it...you finally did it...." Yugi said, but Joey lifted his head, and looked at his best friend

"Not for another two weeks." Joey said as he attempted to stand up to greet his family. Until Seto, grabbed him by the waist and pulled him back down

"You're still naked Pup...and you are NOT giving them a show." Seto growled

"What! It's not as if they all haven't seen me naked before?!" Joey declared and then whipped his hand over his mouth, in shock that he just revealed that

"What do you mean by THAT!" Seto growled, now oblivious to his audience. Hanna had already moved into Seto's bathroom, cleaning up from last night's massage session, as she could see that Seto had not even bothered with it. The other's on the other hand were looking in other places other then the fireworks that were about to go off

"I mean that they are the only ones that could get near me...." Joey said, knowing he was about to reveal stuff that he really hadn't planned on yet.

"Care to explain that MUTT." Seto said, reverting back to his old insults

"Don't call me that Kaiba" Joey said, moving himself away from him

"Then kindly explain how I could barely control raping you, yet those three losers could stand the sight of you naked" Seto said, pointing at the three guys

"Because....well.....they are immune to my pheromones" Joey said quietly

"And HOW are they immune?" Seto said, now curious

"Tristan and Duke are soul mates ...they don't respond to others.....and well........Yugi is..............................." Joey said trailing off, but looking at his best friend

"It's okay Joey...go ahead...they are gonna all find out eventually, may as well tell them now." Yugi said, though visibly swallowing

"Find out what?" Tristan said, now curious

"Katsuya and my Queen are two halves of the same soul. My Queen separated his soul in order to give you a soul mate Seto. As such, Yugi will always been immune to my lord's natural charms. As is my Pharaoh." Hanna said coming out from the bathroom to answer the question that she knew Joey was too embarrassed to answer.

"Would you STOP CALLING ME THAT!!" Yugi hissed at Hanna, but she was still giggling

"Hanna! Behave!" Joey said sternly, but he had a bright smile on his face

"Queen...that’s a new insult to call the midget" Seto said now amused, as Mokuba was giggling as well.

"By my lord Ra, I am going to kill you Hanna..." Yugi said now going scarlet red from embarrassment

"So...you and Yugi....the same soul?" Mokuba said, though he had stopped giggling, he was still grinning.

"And what is with this "My Lord" stuff?" Tristan asked

"Yeah Mokie, me and Yugi are the same soul. I couldn't tell him but the bracelet told him, when it touched him. See Yug' has never been born. He was waiting for Atemu. When he saw how many times I kept failing to get back with Seto, he forced a rebirth of all of us. Inadvertently it reincarnated Bakura's soul in Ryou and Atemu's main healer in Malik." Joey said as Seto turned towards him

"And how the hell do you know all that?" Seto asked him

"Johfrit...he's the best out of all of us." Joey said, as Hanna nodded. If it had not been for Johfrit, she would never had been looking for Joey, and known what he would look like. When Johfrit had been in the Temple, they had taken a sketch of him, and preserved it.

"Who's Johfrit?" Duke asked, now pretty curious. He did believe in reincarnation, despite all the evidence that he had encountered. He knew that Tristan was his soul mate, had known since the first day they had met, and their relationship, while rocky, had been steadfast in the last eight months.

"Johfrit was Arthur Pendragon's Golden Pure Celtic Knight. Pegasus based the Celtic Guardian card off of a picture that he had encountered when in Egypt." Joey said, after he had asked Pegasus the last time he had seen him.

"He WHAT! I'll KILL HIM!" Seto screamed as he attempted to get up, looking for his cell phone

"Uh...Brother...." Mokuba said, now slightly startled at the feral look in Seto's eyes. The only time he had ever seen that look was when Mai ever attempted to get close to Joey.

Seto not realizing that he was still in his boxers, did not hear Joey and the others giggle, as Seto found his cell phone and called Pegasus, and stuck the cell phone onto speaker phone. He wanted them to hear Pegasus quiver in fear as he showed him, who the master was.

"Kaiba-boy, to WHAT do I owe this pleasure of your call?" the dulcet tones of the man said, grinding the back teeth of nearly every person present, with the solitary exception of Hanna.

"YOU WILL NOT EVER DRAW ANOTHER PICTURE OF MY PUPPY EVER AGAIN" Seto screamed at the phone, and at that Joey started killing himself laughing, as the others began laughing as well

"Kaiba-boy, I take it Joseph filled you in on the wonderful model job I did...and Hello Joseph...I would recognize that laugh from anywhere. Tell me...are you all in Kaiba-boy's bedroom? Hmmm....I did not think he was into the group activities, but he is a bit uptight. If you wish me and Croquet shall be there shortly...don't wait on my account!!" Pegasus said as he released the call and Mokuba fell to the floor laughing hysterically.

"Oh...GODS!" Seto said, as he just realized what he had done.

"Yes my lord, you just announced to Mr. Pegasus that you were having an orgy in your bedroom and you just announced your relationship to my Priest." Hanna said, about the only calm person in the room.

"How am I going to live that down?" Seto asked later that night, as Hanna and Seto's kitchen staff had created a dinner fit for royalty

"Kaiba-boy relax...it could have been worse. If you had called five minutes earlier, I would have taken the call in the board room." Pegasus said, with Croquet right behind him.

"Oh god..." Seto said, trying not to have a nervous breakdown in his dining room

"Big brother, don't worry about it." Mokuba said not noticing Yugi looking sharply at Joey.

"Well...uh...Mokie...it's....uh....gonna be hard to hide this in a few weeks..." Joey stammered out, blushing softly against his cheeks

"Why?" Duke asked, Tristan sitting beside him

"Because we are getting married in two weeks." Seto said calmly, as 8 pairs of eyes widened at that. Only Yugi's eyes did not widen

"But...you two...two days ago you were fighting!?" Tristan said flabbergasted. It was still hard to remember the predatory way the two of them were acting today, but he remembered yesterday very distinctly

"My dragon is awesome at foreplay...don'tcha think?" Joey said, and Seto spit out the piece of potato that he had just inserted into his mouth. Grinning, Joey couldn't help but quip "Now Dragon, you are supposed to swallow, not spit out. That is impolite." and at that they all started killing themselves laughing at that statement

"JOEY!!" Seto roared at Joey, who was sitting at the opposite side of the dining table

"You were the one that asked if Jono taught me anything. Just showing that all that time in there wasn't a complete waste." he said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Who's Jono?" Mokuba asked

"The Golden Priest of Osiris, and husband to Seth, the High Priest of Set, second only to Atemu, Pharaoh of Egypt, and Yugi's soul mate." Joey said in a wistful voice

"Husband to Seth...but Seto is the reincarnation of Seth...that means....." Tristan said as finally all the clogs of the wheels of his brain began to click in place

"We are married, soul mates, and we have been apart for 5,000 years. Two weeks from today is the 5,000 year old anniversary of our marriage, and we want to renew those vows." Joey said, as Pegasus seemed to be in a thoughtful pose

"Who are you going to get you two to marry you?" Pegasus asked

"We do not know. We were married before by Atemu, as the son of Ra, he could marry his priests. Obviously he isn't here now, so he can't perform the ceremony again, and there are no priests on this realm that are of high enough rank to do so. Only someone that can take Ra into his body, or is a child of Ra can do so. At least that is what Seth told me last night." Seto said, dropping another bomb on them all. They still did not know about what exactly Joey really was, as they had seemingly forgotten Hanna calling them, her lords.

"How is Seth still talking to you?" Yugi said shaking slightly, the fork in hand tinkling against the dinner plate, as he had been silent for most of the evening

Knowing that the next statement was going to hurt the boy, Seto attempted to say this gently. "He is still tied to the Millennium Rod, which is in my possession. Seth has been training me as the High Priest of Set for over a year now." knowing just how hard the boy was about to take the knowledge that his own spirit was still with him, but Yugi was all alone

"What...?" Yugi said and suddenly stood up and ran out of the room. Joey stood up and taking the napkin off of his lap, he cleaned his lips, and placed the napkin down. Looking at Seto briefly, he caught the slight nod, and with that, left the room in search of his distraught friend.

The others were quiet, as they knew the only person that could soothe Yugi was Joey, though now they knew why. As Joey left, he could hear the Hikari crying soulful tears that could shred the soul of anyone. Coming to the patio door, where he could find the small teen, he could feel him keening.

"Shushh Yugi, it will be okay. I promise. I'll take care of ya. I'll take care of ya all. Ya don't deserve this. You of all people don't deserve to feel every day like your soul has been ripped out." Joey cooed to the boy, softly stroking his incredibly soft hair

"It hurts...it hurts so bad...why did I rebirth...why......" he cried into his souls arms

"Yug', you know my gift, the one that Atemu gave me as my wedding gift. To be realized the day after the honeymoon. It grants me one gift, one thing that I want more then anything. I think he knew that Jono would not be able to receive it, and he held it for me. Yugi, you know what this means right. When I claim my dragon, and he claims me, my wedding gift will be bestowed. When I heard that, I already knew what my gift was going to be. The Hikari's eternal happiness. Nothing would give me more joy then to see you and the others smile again." Joey said to him as Yugi's eyes widen and his mouth opened.

"You...you can do that? You can wish them back and they will never leave us again?" Yugi said in awe, tears still flowing down his cherubic cheeks

"Yes. I can. Once Seto and I make love, it will be instantly granted." Joey said, and then got pulled to his feet and dragged back into the dining room

As he entered, Yugi threw Joey at Seto and screamed "FUCK HIM NOW, I WANT ATEMU BACK NOW!" to a completely shocked room

"You just HAD to tell him that. I told you to wait until the wedding night. BAD DOG!" Seto said, as he slapping Joey's head

"He was crying..." Joey began whining, but crawling into Seto's lap, no mean feat considing that Joey was 6'0.

"Yugi, our past lives have been waiting for this, and you can wait two weeks. We are getting married on our anniversary, and we are not going to spoil ourselves because you can't wait two weeks." Seto said calmly, but in a tone that stem all arguments

"Uh, what is he talking about? And why don't you all start talking everything, because I am getting tired of asking the same damn questions every five flipping minutes." Tristan said

"Tristan, that is something that I will not talk about. There are gonna be some things that I will not be discussing with you. You are just going to have to deal with it. In the meantime, the Ishtar's should have just gotten up, and we need to get them here. Malik and Isis are needed. And Ryou, we need him back here." Joey said, still in Seto's arms

"What about the rest of the gang?" Tristan said

"Mai, I don't think will wanna be here. She still took it hard when I wouldn't even kiss her. Her finding out that I'm with Seto is gonna tear her apart. She's happy with Valon, it's okay." Joey said

"Well what about Rebecca and Tea?" Duke said

"Rebecca is incommunicado right now. She's working on a few things for me with Noa." Seto said

"What about Tea?" Duke pressed, not knowing what had happened, as he had been in America for the last 4 months working with Pegasus to make his Dungeon Dice Monster's game a success. Tristan had already agreed to move with him to San Francisco , where Duke's home town was. He had been admitted into Berkley, much to his parent’s surprise, and Duke was paying for Tristan's education in business administration, so that he could help his love. Since Duke would not be able to get his degree, his love was doing it for him, and they would be sharing the homework, so that they both would be earning the degree. It was something that was unusual, and normally would not have been allowed, but with Pegasus's influence, and of course a great deal of money to the Ivy League school, they had agreed that Tristan could tape the lectures and share the homework, and Duke would take the tests from his office.

"Tea tried to kill Yugi, when she learned that Atemu wasn't inside him anymore." Joey said quietly, remembering that dark day. When she had found out, she went slightly insane and attempted to kill Yugi while he slept. If Joey had not been there with him, sleeping on his side of the double bed, she would have killed him. Johfrit had stepped in, and had taken the knife away from her, and Jono had used his Priest powers and banished her to the shadow realm. All that was left was a shell of a body that was currently in a hospital that the hospitals were soon going to pull the plug on her. Not that anyone had cared. If any of their friend had been there, Jono would not have succeeded in sending her, at least that is what he had told Joey, when they had discussed it in the soul room.

Jono remembered her from his time with his Pharaoh, and even then she was not the most stable when it came to the Pharaoh of Egypt. She had been made one of his wives, but as the Pharaoh kept himself pure for his Hikari, he had never consummated any of his marriages. As well, he had never intended to have an heir, which is why he had made his two high priests his heirs. When Jono had been killed, and Seth went into deep mourning, Atemu changed it so that only Seth was his heir, and that it would pass to his brother, who had a wife already, even though he was so much younger. At least this is what he remembered from watching before he was entombed in the Temple of Osiris.

"Why didn't anyone say anything?" Tristan said to them

"I am sorry, but we didn't want to upset ya. You and Duke have to focus on your own lives, and we didn't want ta involve ya guys anymore." Joey said, still in Seto's arms

"We are your friends; you can't just shut us out like that anymore." Duke said, but he did understand why

"It wasn't a matter of shutting you out, but letting you go. My own business is taking off, and I plan on finishing my training as not only the Priest of Osiris, and the training of Hanna, but also as an Aromatherepist. Both of those will be taking all of my time and energy." Joey said

"Why, what exactly is Hanna?" Duke said

"Hanna is the acolyte of the Priest of Osiris. That was why she was calling me Lord. I am the High Priest of Osiris. Throughout time there have been priests, but none were the designated High Priest, as this could only be bestowed by a Pharaoh. When Johfrit had been looking for the Holy Grail, which he found with the Priests, he took Osiris into his body, and informed them of my arrival. They had been waiting for me. Hanna was told that I would be in Domino, and she has been here ever since, waiting for me. She found me one year ago, and has been my guide ever since." Joey said filling in the gaps in the history books.

"My Lord, there is one piece of your puzzle that you were not aware of, and now is a good time to inform you of this. Do you remember this morning I was telling you that I would prepare your effects?" Hanna said, coming into the room from the kitchen. In her arms was a tray of drinks, and in the middle a large cheesecake with traces of caramel and the smell was of Vanilla.

"Hanna you are going to kill me with that..." Seto said catching a whiff of the cake

"My lord I apologize, but it is his favourite." Hanna said with a grin

"Why?" Tristan said, as he accepted a piece of the cake that Hanna had given him.

"Take a bite Trist" Joey said with a slight grin

Tristan did take a bite, that had the caramel and vanilla and closed his eyes. "Wow, that is amazing cake" he said, as both Yugi and Duke had taken their own bites and agreed. Pegasus did not however take the bite, as he suspected of what Seto was about to say to them

"It is. That is what Joey tastes like, and the smell is what I smell when he is aroused." Seto said, as they all began to choke and sputter

"I always thought it was melted vanilla ice cream, but meh." Joey said, slightly shrugging his shoulders.

"How the HELL do you smell like that! That isn't even a chemistry that the body can give off?!" Duke said looking at the blond

"It's something with my soul. A sweet intoxication that only my soul mate can satisfy." Joey said, softly stroking Seto's face

"Two weeks love. Two weeks and I am going to see how far we can get that smell." Seto said, leaning down and kissing his temple, in a display of affection the others did not think it was possible for Seto to show. Mokuba just looked at his brother, with tears in his eyes.

"So Hanna, what are my effects?" Joey asked as Hanna had finished serving everyone their desserts and drinks.

"The treasure of Osiris." she said and everyone gasped

"I beg your pardon?" Joey said, though he seemed to be wheezing

"I said the treasure of Osiris. It belongs to the Golden High Priest of Osiris, to be used for his wedding gift. It was the temples way of celebrating your wedding to your soul mate." Hanna said with a mile wide grin

"You mean I have had this gift since I was Jono?" Joey said, his eyes nearly bugging out

"Why yes my lord. The entire treasure, as well, every priest since then has added a new treasure, something from their era. The total amount in dollar wise would be about 10 trillion dollars." Hanna said, effectively dropping the bomb

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They all screamed, and Joey at that point, fainted.

"Puppy...puppy wake up..." Seto said, attempting to wake him up later that night. After Joey had passed out from Hanna's little bomb, they all departed, and Yugi took Mokuba to his home, so that they two of them could be alone. They had some serious discussions to do, and no one wanted to be there when Joey woke up. Hanna on the other hand, had completely assumed control of Seto's home, and began her own process of setting some order to her new dwelling, as she had told Seto, that her home was her Priest's home, and since Joey was not going to his apartment ever again, her new home was Seto's mansion.

She had already gone back to Joey's home, and collected his things, and had informed his father that Seto and Joey were getting married. Joseph Sr. had raised a ruckus, but Isono, Seto's right hand man, had been with Hanna, and had already taken the roll of her protector. Roland and Isono were the only two of Seto's men to have seen everything that had happened to them in the last two years, so with all the revelations, as well, they had known their boss's true feelings for the blond, they had adapted rather quickly. With Joseph Sr. subdued and taken care of, also known as, paid off and run out of town, they collected Joey's dueling deck, as well as Joey's massage tools. Hanna had ordered his clothes to stay, as she already had an entire wardrobe made for him.

With that, they had returned to the mansion, to see that Joey was still unconscious. As they left the bedroom, Hanna informed Seto that she would have breakfast ready for 9am and that she EXPECTED them to be there. As Seto was learning, making Hanna happy was good for his piece of mind, as she doted on Joey like a mother. While Joey had been in his lap, his hand softly stroking him, he had asked Hanna why she was so devoted to him. Him, he could understand, and Yugi, that made sense. But her...he couldn't figure it out

"When I found my Priest, I began to learn about his life as Joey, and not as the others that I had learned of, through my training. The only one we have no information on is Jono, as all we know is he came from distant lands, and what small tidbits of information. Through Johfrit we learned of Jorrin and Jorma, and those two were the purest of the souls. Jorma was loved by all, his soul shone the brightest. Jorrin was blessed to have his sister again that he had as Jorrin, and he was loved through her. Johfrit was the most threatened, but he was also the wisest of them all, with exception to Jono. Jono had the training of the High Priest, and an innate aptitude for courtly actions, almost as if he was born into royalty. Not even Seth knew anything of his life, though I suspect that if you went into the soul room, even Jono would not tell you. But I have a feeling that you may find out after the honeymoon. From what I can gather, all answers are going to be given then." Hanna said, as she sat down and thought about exactly what she was going to tell Seto next

"That explains why you revere him, but that doesn't explain your devotion, to the degree that you have." Seto said, smiling, as his puppy buried his head deeper into Seto's lap

"I'm sterile my Lord. I can not have children. Joey had no mother, and his father is a joke. When Joey's guard is down, or more specifically, when Johfrit is resting, his father beats him. Before I met him, Joey had been in danger of being killed by his father a few times. After I found this out, I began to integrate myself deeper into my Priest's life, in order to help him get away from him. There were a few weeks that he would spend time at my house, while under the guise of me teaching him about the healing arts and the aromatherapy. This saved him, as his father's rages would dissipate with time. It has been nearly eight months since his father laid a hand on him, and Johfrit has had a bit of a rest." Hanna said. She could then see that Joey was about to start waking up, and she wanted to let her masters have their time alone.

"One last question, and then you may go. Why do you call me your lord?" Seto asked wanting the final answer

"My lord...you are still the High Priest of Set and my lord's wife. Of course you are still my lord." she said dropping that little bomb onto him and with an impish grin left, leaving the CEO with his eyes bugged out

"I am NOT the WOMAN of this relationship!"

Slight cliffy...hehehe


So...we have a glimpse as to what is gonna be happening...enjoy it my pretties.


As well on my forums I have created a section for this and the one shot, so if you want to discuss the story with me, feel free to drop in and post.


Also I know that Roland and Isono are the same guy, but if you look in the series, there are two guys that have been with Seto since Season one. And for the life of me, I can't remember the others name. So he is getting called Roland. Isono would be the one that was the Judge for the Battle City finals.


Another comment I am getting, and I guess I didn't really explain it as well as I had hoped.


The comment is "Why are they together so quickly?"


To me the answer is once Seth and Jono, who in my story had no problem with their feelings, had been working on Joey and Seto, once they admitted what they felt, what is happening is a natural progression. Both Joey and Seto knew that they loved the other, but did not know of the others feelings for the other, until the first and second chapter. That was when they both knew. And if anyone wants to talk about it and discuss it, that is what my forums are for. I would be more then happy to debate the story, and who knows it might even change what I have planned.
