A/N: Yeah another new one. But I'm sooo inlove with puppyshipping right now I can't stand it.
This is my first Yu Gi Oh fanfic and I haven't seen the episodes or read the manga since I was like thirteen so I am a little fuzzy. Please forgive any inaccuracies.
If you must flame, do so kindly. Oh yeah I know my knowledge on Egyptian mythology is a bit shaky so just play along for now.
Apologies spelling, grammar and OOCness. Forgive me but I can't do Jounouchi's accent. I'll try but... Don't expect too much.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Gi Oh or any of its characters
Hathor smiled at the young girl knelt before her.
Purple hair flowed down her back just above her hips while a single braid was plait towards the back of her head and a violet fringe hung over her forehead. Gold bracelets clung to her left fore arm and dangled off her right, complementing her dark skin very nicely. Her white dress was loose around her frame while bright green eyes were fixed on the marble floor.
Habibah was an odd one to say the least. When the girl first arrived in the realm of the gods, Hathor wasn't sure what to make of her. Especially when she was placed as her new apprentice, the goddess was at a complete loss for what to do. She was always so organised and strict with a quick temper to match.
And while these qualities did well for some of Hathor's duties as a goddess of Egypt, they were completely unfitting for someone who was destined to be the goddess of love.
It took almost five hundred years but Hathor did it, she managed to turn this strict stiff girl into an apprentice truly fit to be the goddess of love.
"You've done well little one."
Habibah let out a deep sigh, "Thank you, my lady."
"Really an excellent job. Seth and Jono are certainly the odd pair but somehow you made it work, I don't think I've ever seen two people who loved each other more."
"Thank you my lady." The girl said again, you could practically hear the beaming smile in her voice. "Although I have to admit, they were a bit difficult." She let out an annoyed sigh at that last part, letting her bowed head slump forward a bit. She thought back to all the grief those two gave her and silently groaned. 'Ra, those two were a pain'
Hathor raised an eyebrow at the girl, "Giving up Habibah?"
"No not at all!" Habibah's head snapped up, green going wide with shock. "Of course not lady Hathor, in fact my assignment will be complete before the turn of the twenty second century."
The goddess suppressed a grin.
Teasing her young apprentice really was too much fun sometimes.
"I should hope so, the next pair will be just as difficult if not more than the priest and his slave, Habibah. You'll have to pull out all the stops on these two."
"Yes my lady." The girl said nodding for emphasis.
It was quite the assignment. You see every once in a while, on the rarest of occasions, a person would meet their soul mate. Not just any soul mate mind you, their true soul mate.
The one person who is bound to you not just in one lifetime, but in every lifetime thereafter and into the afterlife.
You could be reincarnated as a dog and your true love a cat and still be meant to be together.
The high priest Seth and his roman slave Jono were such a pair. Two souls destined to be together forever.
Of course the souls involved didn't know that.
Which is why some people go through their lives always feeling somewhat incomplete, unsatisfied or searching. Never knowing what was missing. And that's were the god's would step in.
But not always mind you.
Just in those situations where not uniting these bound souls could lead to catastrophic disasters the likes of which could make World War two look like a mud fight between five year olds.
In the case of the priest and his slave, had Jono stayed as stubborn and hot headed as he was and Seth had as cold and stubborn as he was. The resulting effects would have plunged Egypt into a horrifyingly dark and broken despair.
Which is why Hathor had Habibah intervene.
It was a test of sorts, the purple haired girl was to make sure that Seth and Jono got together, by any means necessary.
However Hathor could feel a disturbance in the universe, just because Seth and Jono are together in this life. Doesn't mean their reincarnations would do the same in their next life.
And that was Habibah's assignment. To prove herself worthy of Hathor's position, she was to ensure those two souls everlasting love in this and their next life.
However with the next reincarnations, Hathor was starting to have serious doubts about Habibah's abilities.
"I mean it Habibah, the next two-..." The goddess stopped for a moment. "Don't hesitate even for a second, do whatever it takes and remember, logic doesn't always work follow your heart. Alright?"
The girl stared up at her teacher for what seemed like forever. Something in Hathor's tone told her that she was about to encounter a pair like never before. But Habibah wouldn't be discouraged, her mistress was counting on her to succeed and she wasn't about to disappoint her.
The girl looked up and directly into Hathor's eyes, determination burning in her eyes.
"Yes, my lady. Understood!"
Hathor smiled at the look the purple haired girl gave her.
'Kaiba and Jounouchi won't know what hit them.'
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Just look at them Aba, their perfect for each other." The girl all but screeched in frustration as she glared at the two in front of her.
"Ah... Alright if you say so." Abayomi replied as he tilted his head to the side to look at the two teens that were the cause of his mistress's frustration.
Domino high, where the students were usually more mobile than they are right now.
Every student, teacher, janitor, lunchlady, bird, ant, paper ball etc etc. (You get where I'm going with this right?) Was frozen in time.
There was Anzu with her head in mid shake, Yugi's mouth was open in an almost sigh, Honda's fists were clenched in anger, Ryou looked more or less like Yugi and Otogi had his hand over his face mid face palm.
All of their reactions were caused by Seto and Jou.
Seto's piercing blue eyes were fixed on the blond and his lips were twisted in a sneer, while Jou looked about three seconds away from murder as he glared at the CEO.
"I don't know what to do anymore! Everything I do just ends up with them fighting. Their impossible!" The girl huffed, making the purple bangs on her head rise and fall.
"Maybe their not true soul mates." Abayomi said thoughtfully only to be met by an angry glare from the young apprentice. "Or maybe they are."
"Of course they are, Lady Hathor is never wrong." The girl turned back to Kaiba and Jou, giving a groan. "Oh Aba, they were so perfect in Egypt. So loving and caring, it was absolutely beautiful. If these two could be a little more cooperative I'm sure they'd surpass their passed selves. They'd be breathtaking!"
"I'm sure they would. But seeing as how they hate each other-"
"They don't hate each other!" Habibah snapped at her slave, the energy around her making her hair and clothes rise for a moment before she took a deep breath to continue in a more calm tone. "They don't hate each other, they're just confused."
"My apologies my lady, forgive me." Abayomi said kneeling in front of her before tilting his head up and pinning her with his deep brown eyes. "But how are you planning on joining Kaiba and Jounouchi."
The girl fidgeted a bit until she threw her hands up in defeat. "I don't know! Their so damn difficult, the priest and slave were never this difficult. Why won't they just just give it up and fuck already?!"
"Lady Habibah," Abayomi said in mock shock while his eyes danced with delicious amusement. "To use such language..."
"Oh shut up! Lady Hathor curses all the time I think I'm entitled to do so every once in a while. So FUCK you, there I said it. Besides with these two I think I'm allow-" suddenly Habibah froze as she stared at the two in question, her mind swimming with millions of possibilities and their outcomes.
"My lady?" Abayomi asked as he watched his mistress stare at the two teens, realisation dawning on her face.
"That's it."
"Lady Habibah?"
"That's it! It worked for the Seth and Jono, it could only work again!"
"What could?" The slave got up and stood behind her just as she started pacing the small space of the hall way.
"Of course, they did that of their own accord. My instigating such behaviour could be disastrous." Habibah stopped and snatched a cherry red lollipop from one of the students who had just unwrapped it and had his mouth open to stick the candy in his mouth.
"My lady, what are you talking about?"
"Considering their condition, both Jou and Kaiba could react negatively once it all ended but," the girl said around the lollipop in her mouth. "But Lady Hathor said to do whatever it takes! No hesitations!"
"Are you going to tell me about this brilliant plan of yours or not?"
Habibah stopped and gave Abayomi an absolutely devious grin, the brunette shivered. No good ever comes from that look.
She walked over, laced her arm with his and pulled him over to the fighting frozen pair. The girl pulled the lollipop from her mouth and gestured to them. "Seto Kaiba and Katsuya Jounouchi, the reincarnations of Seth and Jono. Their relationship used to be awful as well, but with a little help from me they started to fall in love. However they didn't cross the threshold until one fateful night."
The slave's eyebrow's furrowed, "Why? What happened?"
"One night Jono had finally had enough and went to confront the priest about some other thing. Tensions were high emotions ran wild. And our lovely high priest ended up making love to his darling little slave."
"O.K."
"That night Jono realised his love for Seth and vice versa. With that the two souls were finally joined."
"I still don't see how-" Abayomi's eyes went wide, "No... You can-"
"Oh but I can my naïve little slave."
"Lady Habibah, I don't think that would be such a good idea. Lady Hathor-"
Habibah shoved her stolen lollipop in the slave's mouth, "Said to do whatever it takes. Really it's all their fault that I'm forced to resort to such desperate measures. If Kaiba would stop being so damn arrogant and if Jou would just be a little more submissive. None of this would be happening."
She looked back at Abayomi who gave her a withering look.
"Don't give me that look! It's for their own good, they'll be ten-no-a hundred times happier once all of this is over. So don't even think about trying to convince me otherwise."
Abayomi gave a sigh and reluctantly nodded, speaking around the candy. "Yes, my lady."
"Good, now we should get going. We'll start after one human day."
With that the two disappeared and time moved.
"Arrogant bastard!" Jou shouted, feeling a bit off balance.
"A dog shouldn't insult his master, mutt." Kaiba replied, also feeling a little off. Like something had happened in the split second between Jounouchi's insults.
"Those two are hopeless." Anzu said shaking her head while Yugi and Ryou just sighed, Honda glared and Otogi face palmed.
When someone suddenly let out a pained scream. All eyes turned to the short brunette who was now nursing a chipped tooth, wondering where his lollipop had gone.
A/N: how'd ya like it. Excited to see what Habibah's planning?
Please review.
