LAST TIME on MISTAKEN MAGIC
----------------

"You will never cease to amaze me will you? Yes, that's pretty much it. And here's a secret. We aren't acctualy Mutants. Our X-gene is really Magick. So, none of this goes outside this room, alright?"

Kurt smiled, happy to agree to this. It meant he wasn't crazy.....

----------------

Over the next couple of weeks, Yuugi and Yami told Kurt more and more about exactly why they were there, and why they had magick. They had also contacted Malik to see if he could find out anything that could attribute to Kurt's sensitivity to magick. They came up with nothing. Eventually, of course, everything would have to tie in. Otherwise this story would have no point and....(A/N - I'll shut up now....)

----------------

Oddly enough, Christmas came extremely quickly that year. Maybe it was just everything that was going on...anyways, It was chirstmas. And Yami had no idea what to get Yuugi.

Kurt looked up from his homework for the break as he heard someone knock on his door. Sighing, he closed his social studies book and answered the door. To his sruprise, Yami stood there, looking nervous as a school girl asking someone on a date. Though obviously not for the same reasons....

"Yami? Vas ist? Vhat is it?" The german mutant asked.

"Well...in neither Japan or Egypt was Christmas a very big holiday...and..well...I don't know what to get Yuugi...."

Kurt smiled, being the only one who knew about the two japanese student's relationship. "Vell, come in, sit down...Vhat sort of things does he like..?"

----------------

It was the night before christmas, and all through the institute, not a...never mind. Yuugi, Yami, Kurt, Jean, Scott, Rogue, Spyke, Kitty, Ororo, Logan and Xavier were all down stairs, in the living room, talking around the fire, everyone filled with a feeling of goodness. The Stockings were hung by the chimney, there were gifts under the tree, and they had just eaten a wonderfull meal, made by Jean, Ororo, and Yami, who had proven, over the months, to be a very valuable aide in the kitchen. Soon every one wished everyone else good night and they all headed up to their respective rooms, chatting good naturedly.

----------------

The next morning, Yuugi and Yami were awoken by Kurt knocking on the door and yelling at them to 'Get up, it's time to open our gifts!' Of course, they couldn't help but comply. As soon as everyone was downstairs, everyone grabbed one gift, and set to openeing their gifts, one at a time, so everyone could see what everyone else got. Soon, evry mutant and not-so-mutant at the institute had a veritable mountain of presents at their sides. Kurt was just checking around the back of the tree to make sure no one had missed anything. "Hey Yuugi! You missed vone!"

Yuugi walked up to Kurt and took the small modestly wrapped gift from his three fingered hands, and looking at it, saw that, indeed it was adressed to him, though there was no 'from' name. Yuugi shrugged and opened it to find...a smal black box, and inside a bunch of tiny pieces of gold. Yuugi quickly fit the pieces together. They made a small ring, and engraved in the gold, in Egyptian hiroglyphics, 'Forever one'. Yuugi looked over at Yami who was smiling happily that Yuugi had found it.

Of course, After that, Yuugi never took the ring off.

----------------

Soon, the second Term/semester-thing (A/N - Whatever you want to call it) came around, and Yuugi and Yami and Kurt and the rest of the gang all started new classes. Yuugi and Yami got stuck in French. (Don't ask me how. They just did.) On the first day of semester two....

Yuugi and Yami took desks next to each other, and set about waiting for the teacher - whose name, thier time-tables said, was Ms. Knightson (1)- to get to class. They were surprised when she didn't arrive with or even a moment after the late bell. About ten minutes later...

A young woman waltzed into the class, seemingly unworried that she was ten minutes late. She had dark brown ear-length hair. She stood in front of the assembled students and grinned.

"Oooh, Goody. More students to torture." She laughed a little, and spoke again, "Alright, I'm sure you all know that you're here for Francais Deuxieme Langue (2) Onzieme annee. (3) We're going to ahve a lot of fun this year." She handed out a sheet which read, at the top of the sheet:

And then went on to list how the course would be graded, when the tests would be and how well students would be expected to speak french at the end of the semester.

Yuugia nd Yami looked at each other worriedly. / Another language to learn Aibou. Why did we sign up for this class? /

/ ::sigh:: Beacause we need a second language, even though we already have english back in Japan, that doesn't count here. So we have to take some language, and they don't offer Egyptian, Japanese, Latin or Roman, so we can't take any languages we already know. So we're stuck with french. /

Yami sighed and resigned himself to learning another language.

----------------

The rest of the day, until lunch at least, passed rather uneventfully.

----------------

Kurt opened his locker and suddenly, was being hugged by an over-enthusiastic Yuugi.

"It's Lunch!"

"Er...yeah, right Yuugi. It happens everyday at noon...ve all are let out from the torture chambers for an hour. Then ve haff to go back to the torture chambers, everyday. Happens like clockwork."

Then Yami, who had apparently been there the whole time this was happening, decided to put in his two cents. "The Priest, his Puppy, The Tomb Robber and his Host and the Grave-Keeper are coming by to say hello. Seto apparently has some buissnes here, so they decided to tag along to say hello. Although, I highly dobt it's just that. I mean seriously, coming all the way from Japan, on a tuesday, noless, when The Koinu needs to study, and I highly doubt the Preist would let his boyfriend fail.....maybe that's it..." Yami trailed off, muttering about how Jonouchi could possible be passing the eleventh grade, with or without Seto's help. (His theories ranged from Jonouchi being a robot, to Seto passing him the answers in class.)

Yuugi pulled Kurt along as they headed outside. He also somehow managed to drag Jean, Kitty and Scott with them as well, without even letting go of kurt shirtsleve for a minute. Finaly they were outside and Yuugi had found a place that had apparently been predetermined by him and someone else. Whoever this mysterious Priest was, apparently.

After about five minutes of waiting around, A group of five teenaged boys walked towards them, and Yuugi was off like a shot, hugging each one in turn, while chattering away happily in Japanese and another Language. Kurt knew that this 'other language' was Egyptian. But he didn't say so. At a much slower pace, Yami walked up to the group, smiled and said a few worlds to everyone. When The group came back towards the other group, Scott, Jean and Kitty imediatley recognised Malik as the 'informant' who spoke a very odd language.

"Guys, This is Kaiba Seto, owner and CEO of Kaiba Corp, Jonouchi Katsuyaa, one of my best frieds, you guys met them before, in the summer, Bakura and Bakura Ryou, who aren't related so don't ask, and Ishtar Malik, whose name should acctually be said Malik Ishtar, considering he's not Japanese...."
