Atem's True Love
&
His Dark Secret
School was out for summer break. Yugi and Atem where planning to go hang out with Anzu and the gang at the arcade. Yugi was fast asleep while Atem lay on his bed, gazing out of the skylight in their room. He had a bad feeling about tomorrow, thinking something bad was going to happen he slowly fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly he was in a golden room, with strange writings on the walls. He was wearing a white, cotton skirt like thing with a blue cloth over the front, a red cape with a golden, pyramid like pendant hanging around his neck. He also had a strange golden headband on with the same symbol as the golden pyramid.
Then the room went dark, a familiar figure began approaching him. When he could see who it was he froze, it was him. "Who are you?" The figure laughed. "Why can't you tell?" It asked coming close then stopping right in front of Atem. "I am you and you are me, Pharaoh."
Atem was confused. Pharaoh? What is he talking about? The figure was wearing the same clothes as Atem, but his eyes where red, he had fangs, wings, and a tail. "How can we be the same? And what do you mean by Pharaoh?" The creature snickered. "I am the darkest part of your heart, locked away for 5,000 years. I am your true form. You where a great Pharaoh, until you set me free and almost destroyed the world. But then something happened, you locked me away in your heart, killing yourself in the process." This was all much to take in. Darkest part of my heart? Me, a Pharaoh?
The last thing he heard was a maniacal laugh and then utter darkness. He woke up at the sound of Yugi's voice. "Hey, wake up!! Where gonna be late!!" "Uhhhhh, Yugi?" Atem slowly got up. "I had the weirdest dream. I was in this golden room with these odd clothes on. Then it went dark and that's all I can remember." Yugi looked at him funny. "Well, we can talk about it later, hurry up at get dressed, where going to the arcade today. Remember?"
Atem nodded at got dressed. They went down stairs to grab some breakfast and left for the arcade. When the got there Jounochi, Anzu and Honda where already there. Anzu noticed them and waved. "Hey guys!! What took you so long?" Yugi waved back. "Hey!! Sorry we took so long. I had a hard time waking up Atem." Jounochi stretched. "Well, since we're all here, let's go play some games!!!" "YEAH!!!"
After about 3 hours Jounochi and Honda had to leave, and Anzu had to do her shift at Burger World. So Yugi and Atem decided to head home.
Hee hee hee. I'm coming for you Pharaoh. Atem shook his head. "Get out of my head" He whispered. Yugi looked up at him. "You ok? You've been acting a bit strange today." Atem looked at him. "It's nothing, just a head ache." Yugi tilted his head in disbelief. Atem suddenly felt a splicing pain in his head and fell over, unconscious. Yugi caught him and yelled for help. I will awaken. I will be set free. That was the last thing Atem heard before falling into darkness. 3 days later he awoke and saw Yugi asleep with his head resting on the side of his bed.
He smiled. "Yugi." He stirred a bit then looked up. "Atem!! You're up!!" Yugi hugged him. "I was so worried about you." Atem put one arm around Yugis waist and rested his head on Yugis shoulder. "You shouldn't have been, but I'm glad that you're here." Soon Jounochi arrived. "Hey, what's up guys? Glad to see you awa-" He froze…he was a bit startled by the loving scene in front of him. "Sorry, am I interrupting anything?" He said a bit louder. Yugi and Atem both looked at Jounonchi and jerked away from each other, Yugi blushing slightly. Ever since he brought Atem home with him when he found him weak in an alleyway, he's always had a childish crush on Atem, even though he was 2 years older than him.
Anzu and Honda soon followed after Jounonchi and greeted them. Anzu gave a sigh of relief when she saw Atem awake. Honda sat down in a chair. "What happened to you dude? Yugi said you just suddenly fell over, gripping your head." Atem looked down, he was afraid of telling them about this "other" side of him, especially Yugi for he knew he wouldn't take it well. "I can't remember…" Was all he said. He would wait to tell them when Yugi wasn't around.
