Chapter 1
Atem stared down at Yugi lying unconscious on the floor right beside his left foot. Atem suddenly lashed out at the person hidden behind the stacked of boxes. His fingernails shone then grew into claws. On top of his head ears appeared suddenly from nowhere and his dark amethyst eyes shone maliciously. Yugi struggled for a breath from his position on the floor, having woken up to see the transformation of the person he thought was Atem. Atem's head flicked in the direction of Yugi, who had somehow pushed himself into a sitting position against a wall. Suddenly there was a flash of silver and crimson blood spilled from Atem's chest. Yugi sobbed as he saw Atem fall to the floor. "My friend, my brother," Yugi screamed before falling into the Darkness.
There was a veil of blonde fell before Atem's eyes. Someone's head was pressing on his chest.
"Yugi, could you get off my chest?" Atem inquired.
"You're alive!" Yugi cried. Yugi dried his eyes and sat on Atem pinning him down.
"Now, get off these torn clothes, off, off, off!" he said harshly.
"No!" screamed Atem repeatedly. Yugi pulled at Atem's clothes and managed to get two buttons undone when Joey burst into the room followed by Teá and Kaiba.
"I know you like Atem, Yugi," smirked Kaiba after looking at Joey with a flash of love, "but I didn't think you were......"
"Get off of me," yelled Atem cutting off Kaiba, harshly pushing Yugi off him.
"You need medical attention," Yugi forcefully pushing Atem down and ripping Atem's shirt open the rest of the way.
Joey and Kaiba gasped and Teá moaned when they saw the deep cut across Atem's chest.
"Holy Mother of ....," gasped Atem when he looked down at his own chest. Yugi placed one his small hands over Atem's mouth and responded seriously putting roughness into his voice, "No swearing, I know it looks bad but no swearing, Pharaoh." Yugi placed Atem's head on his lap and sat there soothingly whispering as he tenderly bathed Atem's wounds. Atem lay there calmly, gasping only when it stung but otherwise soundless. Joey, Kaiba and Teá had left to go to where ever they needed to go.
Atem glanced up into those shining amethyst eyes above him and with no reason to do what he was going to do, he kissed Yugi, swiftly and inquiring.
"What......... Atem?" Yugi murmured out of breath.
"I ..... Love.......You, Yugi," Atem forced out, blushing. Yugi grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"I love you too, Tem," replied Yugi using Atem's pet name.
"Kaiba is right, I'm ......," Atem started.
"Shhhhhhhhh," Yugi whispered cutting of Atem.
