Tears Of An Angel

Summary: Yami and Yugi no longer share a body. Atemu is his own person and Yugi is Yugi. After about 2 weeks of boring summer, Atemu is at the Beach and stumbles upon the Millennium Puzzle. "Didn't I leave this with Seto in Ancient Egypt?" But, Atemu shrugs it off and puts the Puzzle around his neck. Suddenly, Atemu, Yugi, Seto, Tea, Joey and Tristan vanish. Did they forget something in the past? Or someone?

Chapter 1: How Did This Get Here?

"It's sooo hot!" Tea whined.

"It's not dat bad, Tea." Joey replied. "Besides, you're the one who didn't want ta got to da Pool."

Yugi wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm sure it would be too crowded anyway."

Atemu took a sip of his lemonade. "There's got to be something we can do around here."

"No way, Man. The closest place to cool off is at the Beach." Tristan said.

"The Beach!" Atemu snapped his fingers. "We'll go to the beach."

"But we'll have to take a bus." Tea complained again.

Joey rolled his eyes. "So? It'll be fun."

"Let's get packed then. We'll meet back at the Kame Game Shop in 15 minutes." Yugi said.

"Ok." Everyone started walking towards their house. Atem and Yugi stood and looked at each other.

"Ever been to a Beach before, Atem?"

He shook his head. "No. Not that I could remember anyway!"

"True." Yugi laughed. "Well, let's get ready."

Atem nodded. "Yes."

Soon, everyone was ready and waiting for the bus to come. When it did, they all loaded on and "patiently" a waited for their arrival.

"Are we there yet?" Joey moaned.

"No!" Everyone on the bus shouted.

Joey folded his arms and sighed. "Gees! No need to get snippy."

After what seemed like hours, they finally were at the Beach's Boardwalk. "Let's shop!" Tea cheered.

All the guys sweat dropped. "We're here to swim Tea." Atemu said. "Not shop."

"B-But!" She gave him the puppy dog face and eyes and to everyone's dismay she was shopping…

"OOH! LOOK AT THIS!"

Joey sighed. "I'm gonna kill ya Pharaoh."

"ISN'T IT CUTE, ATEMU!" Tea held a stuffed animal bunny in front of Atem's face.

He nodded. "It's very… uhh…cute, Tea…"

"HUG IT!"

Atem blinked. "No."

"PWEASE!"

Atem sighed and hugged the bunny as fast as he could. He then threw it back at Tea.

"He likes you!" Tea grinned.

"Can we go now?"

"Umm…ok." Tea bought the bunny and left the boardwalk with the others. Atemu stood in front of the water. He rocked back and forth on his heels nervously. "Going in?" Tea asked. She was in her pink polka dotted bikini. Atem nodded.

"Yeah…"

"You scared of the water?"

Atemu looked away. "I don't know how to swim…"

Tea put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "You'll be fine. I can't really swim either. Just don't go out too far. The current is really strong today and there are a lot of big waves."

Atemu nodded again. "Ok."

Slowly, Atemu stepped into the water. He felt the current wash over his feet and begin to pull him in. He walked out a little further until the water was up to his waist. It felt good. It was cool, but not too cool and the water was clean and clear. A huge wave was heading towards Atemu. He blinked and held his breath as the waters crashed down hard on him. He fell. The weights of the water felt as if it were double his own. He was scared under the water. He opened his eyes and it stung. He could see the light of the sun shining through the surface. He was in deep. He tried to get his head above the water but his throat was closing and his lungs were on fire. Finally, he came up. He gulped down as much air as he could. Unfortunately, some was mixed with the salt water. He began to choke and cough. He spit up some water from his lungs as Yugi grabbed his arm.

"Are you ok?"

Atem shook his head as he gagged. "I-It burns…"

Yugi hit his back as he coughed. "It'll be fine. You just swallowed some water. It happens to everyone."

Atem's whole body was shaking. "Come on. I'll help you back to shore." Yugi said.

Atem nodded. "Ok…" Yugi pulled Atemu to the sands of the beach. Everyone rushed over worriedly.

"You alright?"

"What happened?"

"Anything we can do?"

But, Atemu just shook his head. "I'm fine, guys."

Tea looked at him. Atemu forced a smile. "Really."

Atemu lay on a beach blanket with his eyes closed. There was water in his ears and still in his stomach .He could feel it laughing at him. He was weak. He rolled onto his side and tried to fall asleep.

"Atemu." Tea sat down next to him. "Are you hungry? We're going on to the boardwalk to get something to eat."

Atemu opened his eyes and sat up. "No thank you. I think I'll just stay here."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

Tea didn't want to upset the pharaoh by arguing with him so she said goodbye and left with the gang. Atem decided to take a walk. He stood and started walking on the hot sands. It burned his feet but somehow, it felt nice and relaxing. Atem wasn't looking down and he stepped on something sharp. "Oww." He bent down and saw a glimmering in the sand. "What's this?" He removed sand from the sharp gold object and raised and eyebrow. It was the Millennium Puzzle. "Didn't I leave this with Seto in Ancient Egypt?" But, Atemu shrugged it off and put the Puzzle around his neck. I began to glow brightly. Atemu gasped as he felt something pulling him. This time it wasn't the current…
