Chapter 1
"The Trip"
Yugi receives a package from Pegasus. In it were 2 cards, one was a monster card and it looked like it was a piece of a much bigger monster, the other card was a magic card which Yugi and Yami didn't know what it did, and there was also a video, there were also some papers that Yugi hadn't noticed.
"What do you make of this, Yami?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know, Yugi. It almost looks like something Pegasus might do." Yami said.
At that point Joey walked in.
"Hey, Yug." Joey said.
Then Joey noticed the package.
"What's dat?" Joey asked.
"I don't know." Yugi said standing up and putting the video into the VCR and pushing play.
Then Pegasus appeared on the TV.
"Yugi-boy, you're probably curious about the cards. Well I'm throwing another tournament. Everyone I have invited or am going to invite will have a different piece. The goal is to get 20 cards. The first time you get 5 of the monster cards, including yours put them on your Duel Disk and play the magic card, it permanently fuses the monster cards into one, you continue doing this everytime you have a total of 5 cards until you have the equivalent of 20 cards, how powerful the monster will become depends on who you beat." Pegasus said.
"Just as I thought, something Pegasus would do. That old weird man never calls like normal people." Yami said
:Yugi chuckled:
/You're right./
Yami rolls his eyes.
Aren't I always right?-
/Yes, Yami./
Yami did his famous smirk. Then the video stopped and ejected itself.
"I don't get it, why's he throwing another tournament?" Joey asked.
"No sé." Yugi said.
(I don't know.)
Joey blinked in confusion.
"Huh?" Joey asked in confusion.
"Sorry." Yugi said rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
/I think I've been studying to much./
Yami just nodded.
"I wonder where it's at." Yugi said.
"I don't know, Yug." Joey said.
I hope it's not Duelist Kingdom.-
Then Yugi noticed some papers and took them out of the box. Yugi put the papers now and kinda zoned out lost in thought.
Aibou, what did you find?-
"Hello, earth ta Yug." Joey said waving a hand in Yugi's face.
"Huh?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"Never mind." Joey said.
"According to the information in the package, the tournament starts in a week. So, I need to pack." Yugi said.
"I see." Joey said.
"Does it say where?" Joey asked.
"Let's see…" Yugi started flipping through the papers.
"Ah here it is, there holding it in Acapulco, Mexico."
/Figures./
"Oh cool." Joey said.
"Yeah, I gotta pack." Yugi said.
"Right, later, Yug." Joey said and walked out.
/I have a feeling Pegasus is up to something./
Mexico?-
/Yep./
Where is that?-
/It's south of California./
Okay...-
Yami was still confused. Yugi walked over to his desk and opened his Spanish book to a map.
/Come here./
OK...-
/This is Mexico./
Yugi pointed at the map.
Oh, I see.-
Yugi then walked over to his closet and started go through it.
So this Mexico is where we are going.-
/Yep./
It was a Saturday and Yugi was still in his pajamas.
I see. Aibou you are still in your pajamas.-
Yugi was going through his closet trying to decide what to ware. Yugi soon pulled out that famous outfit. Yugi took a quick shower and got dressed. Yugi walked over to his bed and sat down.
/Mou Hitori no Boku, I'm gonna take a walk./
Very well aibou. I'll be in my soul room if you need me.-
/Alright./
Yugi stood up ran down the steps and put on his famous boots and walked out. Yugi walked through the city. He soon found himself 50 blocks away from the Game shop when it started to rain cats and dog. Yugi looked up at the sky.
Oh great there's no way I can get back to the Game shop before I'm soaked through.
Aibou.-
/It's raining./
Yugi started running back to the game shop.
Then we must go home before you catch a cold.-
I'm gonna be soaked before I get home anyway so why am I running. Yugi wondered.
/I know, Yami./
Yugi kept running though. Yugi soon ran into the Game Shop soaked.
Aibou, maybe you should get into dry cloths.-
Yugi nodded and walked up the steps and changed. Yugi was soon sitting at his desk writing an importent paper for his world history class. Yugi rubbed his arms every once in a while trying to get warm.
You okay aibou?-
/I'm just a bit cold./
I see.-
/I just have to finish this paper. It's due on monday./
Aibou, take a break and do more once you warm up.-
/OK./
Yugi stood up and went downstairs and sat on the couch and curled up in a blanket there. Yami smiled. Yugi stood up and walked into the kitchen taking the blanket with him.
"Grandpa?" Yugi asked.
"Yes Yugi." Solomon said.
"I got caught in the rain." Yugi said.
Yugi was shivering slightly under the blanket.
"Right now I'm just trying to warm up." Yugi said.
"Hmmmm. How about some warm coco?" Solomon asked.
Yugi nodded.
"That sounds good." Yugi said.
Solomon smiled as he hands Yugi a cup. Yugi took it and drank the coco. Yugi finshed the coco and put the cup down putting his arms back inside the blanket.
"Do you remember that package that you gave me earlier?" Yugi asked.
"Yes." Solomon said.
"It was from Pegasus." Yugi said.
"I see." Solomon said.
"He's throwing another tournment in a week." Yugi said.
"Oh, I see." Solomon said.
"How am I gonna get outta school?" Yugi asked.
"Hmmmm." Solomon said.
Yugi looked a bit tired.
/I still need to finish my history paper./
Aibou, you seem tired. Get some rest.-
/Then remind me to finish it when I wake up./
Yugi yawned.
Okay aibou.-
Yugi walked into the living room put the blanket back on the couch. Then Yugi walked upstairs and layed down on the bed. Yugi fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Yugi fell asleep so quickly that he hadn't covered up. Yami saw this and quietly took over to cover his aibou up. The next mourning Yugi woke up. Yugi sat up and streghed.
/Mou Hitori no Boku, how long have I been asleep/
All night. It's Sunday now.-
Yugi got up and walked over to his desk.
/I have to finish my paper./
A BOUT AN HOUR LATER
Yugi finally finished his paper.
Yugi stood up and turned.
/All done./
That's good Yugi.-
A WEEK LATER
Yugi got up early that mourning and got dressed.
4:30 AM
Yugi was sitting in the attic there was an easel and canaves in front of him and a palet in his hands.
I just hope I don't wake up grandpa or Yami.
6:30 AM
Yugi's alam clock in his room started to go off. Yugi jumped at the sudden noice. Yugi jumped about a mile.
Ra dang it!-
Yugi ran downstairs and shut it off.
/Damn alam clock./
I hate that thing. Why do you have it anyways? It's aways noisy.-
/To wake me up.../
But why?-
/For school for one./
Ra Dang it...-
/This time it's so I can get up for our plane. Hmmm, maybe I can finish that before grandpa wakes up./
Yugi walked back to the attic and picked the paint brush back up. Yugi put it back to the canvas. As soon as the paint brush was back in Yugi's hand he entered a trance like state. Soon a beautiful sceen of anicent Egypt appeared. Yugi put the paint brush down when he was done.
/Wow. Hey, Yami. What do you think/
It's quite good, Yugi.-
Yugi frowned.
/It seems familer for some reason./
Yugi looked at his watch seeing it was almost 10.
/I better wake up grandpa./
Okay Yugi.-
10:30 AM
Yugi left for the airport.
12:30 PM
Yugi got on a plane and left.
"Hello, sir. Can I get you something to eat or something to drink?" The stewartest asked.
"A soda would be nice." Yugi said.
I've been tired all week I wonder what's wrong with me.
/Yami/
Yes, Yugi?-
/It's just I'm a little worried./
About what?-
/It weird I've been tired all week and I don't know why/
Hmmmm I hope you'e not getting sick or anything.-
/So do I./
:Yugi yawned.:
/Maybe you should take over./
Okay Yugi. If that's what you want.-
/Take over, I'm to tired./
Okay Yugi.-
Then the Millennium Puzzle flash and Yugi turned control over to Yami.
5 AND A HALF HOURS LATER
They arrived at the airport and Yami went and got their bags. Yugi woke up.
/We should go outside./
Have a good sleep, Yugi?-
/I'm still tired...but, I'll sleep some more later./
You sure Yugi?-
/Yep./
Okay if you say so, Yugi.-
/Should I take over/
You want to Yugi?-
/Not really...I'm still tried../
Then rest some more and just tell me where we go.-
/First we go outside./
Okay.-
/Kemo will meet us outside./
Yami shuttered.
Kemo... I hate him.-
/I know./
Yami sighed.
/We only have to deal with him for 15 minutes./
Okay...-
/The sooner we get outside the sooner we can get away from Kemo./
Okay.-
/Let's go, Mou Hitori no Boku./
Yami nodded and slowly headed outside. They were met outside by Kemo.
"Hello, Mr. Motou." Kemo said.
Yami just nodded a hello.
"Get in and we'll take you to the house you'll be staying in." Kemo said.
/House, Pegasus never does things small does he/
Pegasus is a weird man.-
Yami nodded again. Kemo opened the door to the limo.
/Yes, he is./
Yami slowly entered the limo.
15 MINUTES LATER
"Mr. Motou, we're here.." Kemo said.
/Now I can get some sleep./
Yami nodded.
/Let me take over now./
You sure you want to?-
/Yes, it's only few minutes./
Very well then.-
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi got up and grabbed his bags and went inside. Yugi went to the bedroom and fell asleep.
Might as well unpack our stuff. Yami thought.
30 MINUTES LATER
Yami took the last thing out of their bag it happened to be their cards. Yami walked downstairs into the living room and sat down. Yami began to go through their deck and make changes.
AN HOUR LATER
Yugi appeared in spirit form. Yami looked at Yugi and smiled.
Did you sleep well, Yugi?-
/Yeah, I did./
Good, Aibou.-
Yami put their new deck down on the coffee table.
/Is that our new deck/
Yami nodded.
Yes, it is aibou.-
/Good./
I know. Do you want to take control now?-
Yugi nodded and then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi took control from Yami.
/I think I'll go for a walk./
I'll be in my soul room if you need me.-
/OK./
Yugi walked out and walked down the street. Yugi whinced as extreme pain hit him. Yugi was walking acrossed the street and was in the middle at the time and he felt himself blacking out. Yami sensed something was wrong and appeared in spirit form and gasped seeing Yugi was passing out and where Yugi was.
AIBOU!-
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami quickly put Yugi into it and took control and Yami got acrossed the street before the pain hit him as well. Yami stumbled back to the house. Yami stumbled into the living room and blacked out.
AN HOUR LATER
Yami woke up. But, he soon realized he couldn't sense Yugi.
AIBOU!-
No answer. Yami looked around confused and worried.
Aibou!-
Then a groan was heard from in front of the couch. Yami looked around even more confused on what was going on.
Yugi?-
Another groan was heard from in front of the couch. Yami decided to check it out. Yugi was unconscious on the floor in front of the couch. Yami's eyes widen in surprised.
"Yugi!" Yami exclaimed.
Yugi groaned. But, Yugi repained unconscious.
THE NEXT DAY
Yugi woke up. Then Yugi's hands started moving frantically search for something farmiler.
/Y-Y-Yami/
Yes Yugi.-
/Yami, where are you/
Over here.-
/Yami, I can't see./
Yami places a hand on Yugi's shoulder.
-I'm right here.-
Tears were falling from Yugi's extremely cloudy amethyst eyes.
Everything's gonna be alright, aibou.-
/I hope so./
I know, aibou.-
/Yami, what's wrong with me? Why can't I see/
I don't know, Yugi.-
/I don't like it, Yami. It's scary being in the dark all the time/
It's okay Yugi.- Yami said slowly
I'd been through the dark for centeries.-
/Y-Y-Yami help me./ Yugi linked, sobbing to hard to talk properly.
Shh.-
Yami hugged Yugi. Yugi calmed down and stopped crying before sleep claimed him and his clouded Amethyst eyes closed and slow breathing could be heard. Then Yugi's dream started again. Yugi started tossing and turning again. Yugi actully said everything he said in the dream in his sleep.
MEANWHILE IN YUGI'S DREAM
"No, Atemu, don't do it." Yugi pled.
"NO, BROTHER!" Yugi shouted.
"ATEMU! SIMON LET ME GO!" Yugi shouted sadness in his voice.
"There is nothing you can do..." Simon started.
"You are wrong...I command you to let me go." Yugi said cutting off Simon.
Simon sighed and release his hold on Yugi. Yugi ran over and kneeled next to Atemu's lifeless body.
"Atemi, you must be strong and rule wisely." Simon said.
"I can not do this not without Atemu." Yugi said sadly.
"You must believe in yourself as Atemu and I do." Simon said.
"You and Atemu made a mistake believeing in me. I am nothing. All I ever do is let people down." Yugi said sadly.
"But, sire..." Simon started.
"Leave me be." Yugi stood up and ran out of the room.
Yugi ran to his chambers.
"IT IS NOT FAIR! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO DO IT! EGYPT NEEDS ATEMU NOT ME! I AM NOTHING. ALL I EVER DO IS LET EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT DOWN!" Yugi shouted.
Yugi punched a wall in anger and the Horus Shadow Puzzle fell away from Yugi's chest.
"Now I have lost Atemu forever." Yugi wispeared.
Yugi grabbed the strap of the Horus Shadow Puzzle and holding it back at his chest. Yugi leaned against the wall and slid down it. Yugi sat on the floor crying.
MEANWHILE IN THE REAL WORLD
Yami's crimson eyes widen in surprised when he heard Yugi in his sleep.
"Y-Yugi..." Yami started.
Tears started to seep from Yugi's closed eyes. Yami gently wipe his tears away. Yugi's cloudy eyes slowly opened.
"Yugi...Y-You were Atemi?" Yami asked.
"You died in my dream." Yugi said sadly as tears formed in his cloudy amethyst eyes.
"I see." Yami said slowly.
Yugi closed his eyes again and fell asleep again. Then the familer egyptian appeared from the shadows. Yami looked up surprised.
"Shadi." he said.
"Yes, sire." Shadi said bowing slightly.
Yami blinks confused.
"I don't understand." he started
"What happen and how did I got this body...?"
Shadi frowned.
"I'm not exactly sure." Shadi said.
"I see..." Yami started slowly again.
There was a knock downstairs and Shadi disappeared. Yugi sensed him leave.
/He never use doors like normal people./
-I know. I'll go see who it is.-
/Good./
Yami nodded and got up and headed to the front door. It was the Ishitars.
"We have something that belonged to Atemi." Ishizu said.
Ishizu gestured towards the bag Marik was carrying. Yami raised an eyebrow. Ishizu nodded at Marik who pulled an inverted pyrmiad out of the bag it look almost exactly like the Millennium Puzzle except it had a small ring with 7 pointers hanging from it like the Millennium Ring. Yami binked confused. Then it floated out of Marik's hands the a bright flash emited from the HSP and a ghostly image appeared. It looked like Yugi but, with narrow crimson eyes like Yami. Yami blinked surprised and back up a bit.
"B-Brother..." he started in shock.
"If this images has appeared it is because my puzzle has come to be within my brother's presense. I can olny hope that my future self and brother have been reunited." Atemi said.
Then the image disappeared and the HSP floated down and back into Marik's hand. Yami blink in shock again.
"Perhaps you should return it to your brother sire." Marik suggested.
Yami nodded slowly. Marik held the HSP out to Yami. Yami slowly took the item in his hands.
"We shall leave now. But, make sure Yugi gets that." Ishizu said and the trio left.
/Y-Y-Yami/
I'm coming Yugi.-
/Good./
Yami smiled as he head off towards where he left Yugi.
Yugi sat up tired. Yami smiled.
"Yugi," he started "I believe this belongs to you."
Yugi cocked his head to the side. "What is it?" Yugi asked confused. Yami placed the item Mairk gave him in Yugi's hands.
Then the HSP glowed the cloudy look faded, Yugi had clear crimson eyes for a moment before they turned back to a clear amethyst color. Yugi looked at Yami and smiled.
/Yami, I can see again./
Yami smiled. "That is good, Yugi." he said.
"Uh, Yami do you think this is permenent? Us I mean." Yugi said.
"I don't know..." Yami said.
"Maybe you should hold on the Millennium Puzzle for now." Yugi said.
Then Yugi set the HSP down and took off the Millennium Puzzle and holding it out to Yami.
/And don't worry we'll still have our mindlink./
Yami just nodded slowly.
"I don't know..." Yami said.
Yugi held the Millennium Puzzle out to Yami. Yami slowly took it.Yugi picked the HSP up and check to make sure the leather strap would hold it's weight before putting it around his neck. Then, a flash emitted from both Puzzles. Yugi and Yami were sent back to the Ancient Past. It was where Yugi's dream had left off. Yugi was very upset and crying.
"Yugi!" Yami called going to comfort his aibou.
Yami went right through him and Yugi couldn't hear him at all.
"Yugi!" Yami called.
"Atemu, why did you leave me!" Yugi sobbed.
"Yugi, I didn't. I'm right here!" Yami called.
Yami tried to reach him again, only suceeding in passing through him again as if he were a ghost.
"Why can't I reach him?" Yami asked.
Simon was watching Atemi from the shadows. Simon frowned.
"Perhaps you left us to soon Atemu." Simon whispeared before leaving the room.
"Simon! Simon, I'm right here in front of you!" Yami called.
"I must make the funal arrangements." Simon said.
Then Simon returned to the room Atemu's body was in, he sent for High Priest Seto.
I wonder when the High Priest will arrive.
Yami just stood there in deep thought.
"Why? Why is Yugi remembering when I sacrificed myself? Why am I here? I can't reach him so why?" Yami wondered.
"I...I don't know...if I...can rule all on my own," Atemi sobbed.
"IT'S NOT FAIR! I SHOULD HAVE SACRIFICED MYSELF! Please...please come back to me..." Atemi sobbed.
Simon was kneeling down next to Atemu's body.
"I hope you made the right decision, Pharaoh. I don't think Atemi was ready for the burden of losing you." Simon said.
Simon then smiled a bit.
"But, you believed in Atemi and you will in the next life. I know you'll be waiting for him. Please watch over him Atemu." He said.
"I didn't know...how many loved one's I left behind. I...didn't know they missed me so badly. And Yugi..." Yami hung his head low in sadness.
High Priest Seto walked into the room and gasped seeing his cousin dead.
"Simon, what happened!" Seto demanded.
"He...He performed the Ritual to seal all the Shadow Magic away. Sadly, it cost him his life and his soul." Simon said sadly.
"I take it Atemi isn't handleing it very well." Seto said frowning sadly as he stared at Atemu's body.
"No, he's over there in pretty bad shape. Why don't you go console him?" Simon asked.
Yami's head snapped up. He saw High Priest Seto and tried to get his attention too.
"Kaiba! Kaiba! Wait...he won't answer to Kaiba in the past Seto! Seto, can you see me!" Yami demanded.
Sadly, he couldn't. In fact, Seto walked right through Yami and went straight to Atemi.
"Cousin? Are you alright?" Seto asked.
"OF COURSE I'M NOT ALRIGHT! MY BROTHER JUST SACRIFICED HIMSELF AND LEFT ME HERE ALONE!" Atemi shouted.
"Sorry, dumb question to ask. Listen, Atemi, you understand why he did it, don't you?" Seto asked.
"Yeah. So? Why do I care? I...just want Atemu back." Atemi sobbed.
Yami watched in deep sadness. Simon was carefully picking up the shattered puzzle piece and putting them back in the puzzle box. Jono ran in with the Horus Shadow Staff in hand and he saw his best friend crying then noticed Atemu's body. Jono sighed.
"Ah Jono, perhaps you can do a better job of consoling Atemi." Seto said.
Jono however was stareing in shock at Yami.
Is he staring at me!
"Joey? Can you...see me?" Yami asked.
"Uh, my name is Jono." He said.
"Sorry, you looked like someone else. Jono, why are you the only one that can see me?" Yami asked.
"Maybe because of my item." Jono said, but, since no one else could see Yami it looked like Jono was talking to himself.
"What is your item by the way?" Yami asked.
"It's called the Horus Shadow Staff." Jono said.
"Another of Yugi's items," Yami said under his breath.
"Atemu, perhaps I can relay a message to Atemi." Jono offered.
"As much I wish to comfort him, that may not be a good idea." Yami said.
"I understand." Jono said.
Jono ran around Yami and ran to Atemi.
"Atemi, your friend Jono is here," said Simon.
Atemi looked up, tears still in his eyes.
"J-J-Jono?" Atemi asked.
"I'm here, Atemi." Jono said.
"Oh Jono..." Atemi sobbed glomping his friend.
"It's gonna be OK, don't worry you'll see him again I promise." Jono said.
Then Jono looked over his shoulder at the Millennium Puzzle now in it's puzzle box senseing Atemu's soul within the puzzle, but was confused by the fact that Yami was there.
"But...when? I...miss him so much..." Atemi sobbed.
"Someday I don't know when." Jono said glanceing between Yami and the Puzzle box in confusion.
"I'll explain in a minute." Yami said with a solemn smile.
"I promise you, Atemi that you will see Atemu again. Have I ever let you down?" Jono asked with a small smile.
"No...but I still miss him...It still hurts inside..." Atemi sobbed.
"I know...but, as long as you remember him he'll never really be gone." Jono said.
"Besides you have a reason to move on, Treanna told me your little secret...and that you were going to tell Atemu tonight and annouce it to everyone tonight." Jono wishpered in Atemi's ear.
"And I think with this sad news everyone could use some good news." Jono said.
"I suppose." Atemi said still a little sad, though he stopped crying.
"Just trust me, Atemi." Jono said giving Yami a look saying you need to hear this.
Jono stood up and offered a hand to Atemi. He took it and stood up. He smiled a bit.
"Thanks for the advice Jono," he said as he hugged Jono then let go.
"I think it's time for your annoucment." Jono said looking at Yami to make sure he was still there because he knew he'd want to hear this.
Yami cocked his head.
"What's the big news?" Yami asked.
"You'll see." Jono mouthed.
Yami cocked his head again, but shrugged it off.
"Simon, Priest, Atemi has an annoucment." Jono said gaining the two's attentsion.
"Yes?" asked Simon.
"Well, Treanna and I are expecting our first hiar." Atemi said.
Atemi looked at the two gageing their reaction. Jono however was looking to see Yami's reaction.
Yami looked shocked. This was what Atemi wanted to tell me...
NOT LONG AFTER ATEMU'S DEATH
Atemi was paceing back and forth in the throne room. Jono was standing next to the throne watching Atemi pace.
"Please Ra let my love be alright." Atemi quitely prayed.
"Why don't you go check on her?" Jono wishpeared to Yami.
"Me?" Yami asked surprised.
"They can't see you so you can find out if she's ok. My sister won't let either of us in the birthing room." Jono whispeared.
Yami sighed. "Very well..." he said as he slowly made his way inside with a gulp.
The head healer Sela stood and handed a crying infant to another healer then got back down and soon handed another crying infant to another healer.
"How are you feeling Queen?" Sela asked.
"I'm fine, but, what about the baby?" Treanna asked.
Treanna sat up slightly and Yami saw her face for the first time in 5,000 years. Yami was at aw. Tea... Sela took the twins and walked over to the queen.
"Don't you mean babies?" Sela asked smiling down at the two bunddles in her arms.
Treanna smiled.
"Why don't you bring their daddy in." Treanna said taking the two bunddles from Sela.
Sela nodded and ran out. Sela ran into the throne room. Atemi and Jono look at her when she arrives.
"Sela, how are they? Are they alright?" Atemi asked with worry.
"Yes, come." Sela said.
Atemi cocked his head.
"Your queen wishs to see you." Sela added.
Atemi sprinted past her and into the birthing room. Yami just stood near by.
"Treanna, thank the gods you're alright I was so worried." Atemi said.
"I'm fine, Atemi, and so are your children." Treanna said smiling at him.
"Children?" Atemi asked in confusion.
Treanna nodded. Atemi took one of the bundles from her. He moved the blanket to look into the eyes of his daughter, she had amethyst eyes like Atemi did when he was younger, she had blonde hair.
"I have a daughter." Atemi said happily.
"And the other?" He asked.
"It's a boy." Treanna said.
"To ensure that at least one of them survives I will send her to another time." Atemi said sadly.
"Atemi, are you sure?" Treanna asked sadly.
"I'm sorry, my love it's the only way." Atemi said.
"But, I promise you my daughter that I will see you again." He wispeared in his daughter's ear.
Atemi moved away from her ear.
"Mahando, Mana!" He exclaimed.
Mahando and Mana appeared.
"I have a huge favor to ask of you two." Atemi said.
"What is it, sire?" Mahando asked.
"I know you are both duel monster now...but I want to sent you to the future and send you my daughter." Atemi said smiling at the bunddle in his arms.
Yami just stood there shock by all this.
"But, sire..." Mana started.
"You will both gain human forms because of this. But, you'll be able to go to your current forms at will. I want you to raise her. One day she I will meet again. But, promise me you'll raise her well." Atemi said cutting off Mana.
"I promise we will and I will protect her with my life if need be." Mahando said.
"May I have the honor of nameing her?" Atemi asked.
"Of course, sire." Mana said.
"Then your name little one shall be Mai." Atemi said.
Atemi smiled at the bunddle before handing her to Mahando. Atemi stepped back chanting a spell, then Mahando, Mana and Mai began to glow a bright yellow then there was a flash and the trio disappeared. Atemi walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed. He moved the blanket so he could see his sons face. Narrow and wide crimson orbs lock. There was sadness in the infants eyes. Atemi gasped.
"He looks exactly like Atemu when he was younger." Atemi said in shock.
Then there was a bright flash from both puzzles and Yugi and Yami returned to their bodies. Yami was the first to wake up. Yami nearly fell over in shock.
"By Ra..."
Yugi was laying behind Yami unconscious. Yami slowly looked at Yugi's way sadly. Yugi looked flush. Yami looked worriedly at this. He gently shook Yugi.
"Aibou." Yami said.
No reaction. Yami got really worried and shook Yugi harder.
"Aibou." Yami said.
Again no reaction.
"Yugi!" Yami shouted, now scared out of his mind.
There was a knock downstairs. Yami looked worriedly at Yugi then down towards the stairs.
"Yug!" Joey shouted.
Yami ran downstairs and open the door.
"Joey! Something wrong with Yugi!" he shouted.
Joey frowned. "Like what Pharaoh?" Joey asked.
Yami didn't say anything, but grabbed Joey's arm and drag him upstairs, still very worried about his other. When Joey saw Yugi. Joey gasped and ran over to Yugi's bedside and felt his head.
"Damn it." Joey cursed then he looked at Yami.
"He has a fever so, don't just stand dere get a bowl of water and a washcloth." Joey said.
Yami nodded worriedly as he did what Joey asked of him.
"If ya can hear me Yug, everythings gonna be alright." Joey said and sat on the edge of the bed.
I hope da Pharaoh hurrys up with dat water.
Yami came back with what Joey asked of him. Joey took it and put the bowl on the nightstand and wet the washcloth putting it on Yugi's forehead.
Yami stood worridly. Yugi groaned and opened his eyes. Joey got up so the pharaoh could sit next to his aibou.
"Yugi..." Yami said softly.
/Y-Y-Yami/
Yami nodded.
Yes it's me.-
/What happened/
Joey said you had a fever...-
/Really/
Yami nodded. Yugi fell asleep and a mystrious figure was watching from the shadows. Joey sensed they were being watched and spun around and glared into the shadows.
"Who are ya!" Joey demanded.
"Joey what's wrong?" Yami aksed.
"My spell is starting to take effect...it's just a matter of time." The figure said there was a bright flash and he was gone.
Yami was confused.
MEANWHILE WITH KAIBA
Kaiba was tossing and turning.
"Ani-chan? Seto are you alright?" Mokuba asked watching from his brother's bedside.
Kaiba shot up in bed breathing heavily.
"I'm fine Mokie, that dream was just a little to real." Kaiba said.
"That's a relief. You had me worried for a sec." Mokuba said.
"I'm starting to worry myself Mokie." Kaiba said.
Mokuba looked worriedly at his big brother.
"Do you remeber what Motou said on heilcopter that day?" Kaiba asked.
"About being the Pharaoh and all that? You told me not to believe all that crazy stuff." Mokuba said.
"Well, I had a dream where I was dressed like the High Priest that Ishizu said I was. And there were to Yugi Motous." Kaiba said.
Mokuba cocked his head.
"One died I think I called him Atemu and he was my cousin the other I called Atemi." Kaiba said.
"And now I'm starting to wonder." He added.
"Okaayyyy..." Mokuba said.
Kaiba sighed.
"It's probably just some crazy dream, I mean come on two Motous." Kaiba said.
"I guess." Mokuba said.
Mokuba plopped onto the bed and sat next to his big brother. Kaiba gasped.
"Someone's here." Kaiba mumbled.
"Huh? Where?" Mokuba asked.
Shadi was behind Kaiba. Shadi raised the Millennium Key, put it to the back of Kaiba's head and turned it. Kaiba's eyes sort of glazed over.
"Ani-chan!" Mokuba exclaimed.
Kaiba just sat there, and didn't move.
MEANWHILE IN KAIBA'S SOULROOM
"Kaiba?" Shadi asked.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MOKUBA! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Kaiba shouted.
Kaiba moved back away from Shadi. Outside Kaiba and Shadi didn't move. Then there was a flash and the Millennium Rod appeared in Kaiba's hand on the outside and his soulroom. Kaiba looked down and looked up glareing at Shadi with a senen eye on his forehead.
"Get the hell out of here!" Kaiba demanded.
"Or a shadow game awaits you." He added.
Shadi turned the key back and disappeared. Kaiba gasped and blinked. Kaiba put a hand to his forehead.
"Ani-chan?" Mokuba asked.
Kaiba looked at Mokuba.
"Mokie?" Kaiba asked.
"What's up Seto?" Mokuba asked.
Kaiba glanced at his other hand and saw the Millennium Rod, he put it in his belt and took out his duel deck.
"Nothing really except, it's all true." Kaiba said.
Kaiba gasped and wrilled around. Kaiba ran out on to the balcony of the hotel room he was staying in for the tournement. Kaiba raised a card.
"I summon Kisara!" Kaiba exclaimed and a Blue-Eyes white dragon appeared.
Yugi eyes opened.
"Kisara!" He exclaimed.
Then she flew down so she was under the balcony as Kaiba jumped off and landed on her back.
"Stay here, Mokie." Kaiba said.
"OK, Ani-chan." Mokuba said.
Then Kisara flew off.
"Kisara, take me to my cousins." He told her.
MEANWHILE WITH YUGI, YAMI AND JOEY
Yugi opened his eyes. But, then Yugi's eyes started to close.
/Y-Y-Yami/
Before Yami could react to Yugi the hsp flashed and Yugi's eyes snapped open and turned crimson and he sat up, Yugi stood up. Yugi's hair changed he had the same bangs but he had the three blonde strips like Yami. Joey put a hand on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi flipped him onto his back. Yugi smirked.
"My father may have had a powerful bound to you. But, I do not." Yugi said coldly.
Joey raised an eyebrow.
"What da hell da matta wit ya, Yug!" Joey demanded.
"Watch your tounge." Yugi said TKing Joey into a wall and holding him there.
Yami tried not to laugh at this. Yugi turned to look at Yami and Joey fell back to the floor he sat there VERY confused.
That man almost looks like father.
Yugi smiked.
"You must be Atemu." Yugi said coldly.
Yami looked surprised.
"Ahhhh..." Yami started slowly
"That was I was called long ago, yes." He said.
"Just don't ever ever mistake me for my father, and don't ever compare me to him." He said coldly.
Yami blinked confused. "Say what?" he asked.
"Like his idiot of a best friend here." He said coldly gesturing to Joey.
"Oh I see." Yami started
"I guess you are my 'nefew' aren't you?" He asked.
"That's right, my name is Atmera, and father will pay for taking my sister from me." He said coldly.
"He did to protect her." Yami said
"It was for her safey."
"He will pay." Atmera said in anger.
Atmera rolled his eyes at his uncle. Then Atmera snapped his fingures and a ghostly form appeared chained to a stone tablet, soon the ghostly form became solid. Amethyst eyes slowly open stareing at Yami weakly. Yami was alittle bit confused at this.
"BECAUSE OF HIM I'LL NEVER SEE MY SISTER AGAIN!" Atmera shouted in anger.
Atmera snapped his fingures. The chains tightin. Yugi cried out in pain.
"Stop this now!" Yami commanded
"That is not Atemi, that is Yugi and I should know. I'm his protector."
"Why should I believe you? You'd say anything to protect my father." Atmera said.
"One thing Atemi and I had crimson eyes." Yami started
"And if you see, Yugi's is amethyst."
"Do you take me for a fool? Father had amethyst eyes when he was younger." Atmera said coldly.
Atmera narrowed his eyes at Yugi again and the chains tightin again. Yami blinked in surprised.
How can I be wrong? Had bening in the puzzle for five thousand years mess up my mind about my own twin?
Yugi's weak amethyst orbs lock onto Yami. Yami looked VERY confused. He had no idea what to do now. His anicent mind was clouded in uncertenty. The look in Yugi's eyes told Yami he was fighting not to scream.
/Y-Y-Yami/
Yami glup.
I-I don't know what to do...-
Yami was soo very confused now, feeling unwanted, sad, and depress. I-I faild... I-I faild to protect you, aibou...
/H-H-Hed s-s-stop i-if h-he k-k-knew h-h-his s-s-sister w-w-w-were a-a-alive./
Yami looked surprised.
"Y-Yes..." Yami spoken softly
"T-That vison I was shown after I sacrofice myself..."
Yugi nodded.
/T-T-That's t-t-the a-a-answer t-to w-w-what y-y-you w-w-were a-a-asking i-in t-t-there. I-I-I c-c-could h-hear w-what y-you w-w-were s-s-saying I-I-I j-just c-c-couldn't r-r-respond t-to y-you./
Yami nodded.
Okay I hope this works.-
"Mai..." Yami spoken softly again
"She was sent to this time long ago. She's grown up now, quite a good duelist. I had seen it myself..."
"S-She can't still be alive...she can't be." Atmera said in shock.
Yami nodded.
"She is." Yami said "I have seen her myself, so has Joey." Yami looked over at the confused Joey as he said that.
The stone tablet and chains disappeared and Yugi started to collasp to the ground. Yami ran over to him.
"Aibou!" Yami exclaimed.
Atmera frowned.
"He's fine. He's just weak. I'm so sorry." Atmera said.
Yugi smiled weakly.
/What my son said./
Yami smiled. Atmera took Yugi's hand.
"I'm so sorry father." Atmera said.
"Father, why did you sent my sister here?" Atmera asked sadly.
"Father, please tell me." He pled.
"I...did it...to protect...her. A female hiar...would not have...survived. I wanted...her to have...a happy life...without laws...that might...harm...her." Yugi said weakly.
Atmera smiled.
"I understand. But, how did you know she'd be well taken care of?" Atmera asked.
"I...sent...Mahaado and...Mana." Yugi said weakly.
"Yugi, you need to rest now." Yami said as he brushed a few bangs out of Yugi's face.
"He's right, father." Atmera said.
Then Atmera faded as their was a flash form the epicenter of the hsp and he returned to it. Joey blinked in confusion. Yami chuckled a bit.
"Joey, Atmera is Yugi's son from the Ancient Past. He used the Horus Shadow Puzzle to get here." Yami said.
"Okaayy." Joey said.
Then there was a knock at the front door.
"Y-You should...go get that...Pharaoh." Joey said.
Yami sighed.
"Okay." Yami said
"Keep an eye out on Yugi."
"I will." Joey said.
Yami nodded and went to get the door. It was Kaiba.
"Atemu?" Seto asked in shock.
"Kaiba?" Yami said in shook.
"Come on, cousin. You can call me Seto." Kaiba said.
