"Come on Atem tell him how you feel."

"Joey it's not that simple. I know you managed with Kaiba but Yugi's only been here for a few months." Atem sighed, wondering if he should tell Yugi everything.

"Yea well, talk to your sister about this she knows Yugi more than me. Anyway you coming to the club tonight? It is your night off!" Joey smirked.

"Yea sure, Lara can get us free drinks when she is working."

"How is Lara now? Ya know after ya father and being attacked." Joey asked, he always liked Lara as a friend. He always fought Lara and Atem were lucky to have each other.

"She's doing well. Still upset about father but she will be fine, you will see. The attack was ok remember she can take care of herself." Atem knew Lara would be ok about that. Looking at his wrist watch Joey climbed to his feet before saying.

"Catch ya later got class now; you better talk to Yugi in your next class." Then Joey ran off in the direction towards science. Atem looked at the digital timer on his cell phone, remembering he had a free period. He sat back on the bench in the nice heat from the sun to relax. He was thinking of the day he first laid eyes on Yugi.

Flash Back:

It was another boring day at school that was going to get better. Atem was sat with Joey in his tutor class. When a small figure appeared in the way. Everyone were looking forwards and backwards at Atem and the petit figure. This new kid was around 5"2, his hair added another 4 inches to him. He had gravity defying spikes that were jet black with crimson tips. Long gold bangs that hung nicely about his face. Large amethyst eyes. He was dressed in all black. Slightly baggy leather pants, black buckled boots. He wore two studded leather belts, one keeping his pants at his waist the other hung down. He had a black sleeveless t-shirt on, along with a spiked dog collar. He had black studded leather bracelets on either wrist; there was also a hint of black eye liner on his eyes.

Atem looked the very similar but wasn't wearing the same today. Atem had his black skinny jeans on with black boots over the top. There were slight differences between these two. Atem had more golden bangs that just didn't hang down but also shot up. His eyes were in between light and dark crimson. He was taller than the other by about 4 inches. Atem's voice was more deeper and husky compared to Yugi's.

The tutor just told Yugi to sit anywhere everyone else did .Yugi did as he was told and found an empty seat near Joey and Atem.

"Woo, Atem I know you got a sister but ya sure ya don't have a twin?" Joey blurted out unable to control himself. Joey was slightly taller than Atem. Joey wore a plain white shirt with short sleeves, he bore a pair of light blue jeans along with a matching jacket. His hair blonde hair hung slightly over his face, but still revealed his bright blue eyes. Yugi looked over and smiled but at the same time he couldn't take his eyes off his look alike. Atem smiled back while staring into those lovely warm amethyst eyes.

"Joey I a sure you it's only me and Lara in our family. Anyways what's...?" Atem was cut off by Joey suddenly asking the other a question.

"Hi I'm Joey, what's your name mate?" Yugi seemed a bit startled but felt ok when Atem nudged Joey.

"Joey be quiet you don't want to frighten him any more than he properly is right now." Atem smiled at the blonde now pulling him a face. The other looked at the two before saying.

"It's fine really; it's better than what I what I was expecting. My name's Yugi by the way." Yugi secretly shot a wink in Atem's direction.

"Cool, like I said before I'm Joey and this is my friend Atem. Oh and what were ya expecting?" Joey asked looking confused as the other looked down like he had suddenly became fascinated with the table in front.

"I was expecting to be beaten up like I was in my old school." He looked away; Atem could tell it hurt him to talk about it.

"Don't worry Yugi; you got me and Joey to watch over you now." The taller look alike said in a deep husky voice. It made Yugi feel save when Atem spoke.

"Yeah, trust me Yugi; no one will touch ya if Atem is watching ya." The blonde said as if he were scared of Atem.

"Why is that?" Yugi asked, this time sending another wink in the others direction.

"Well Atem is one hell of a good fighter. We take a lot of lessons in martial arts along with Atem's sister Lara. By the way where is she?" Asked the blonde with a blank expression. Atem rolled his eyes before saying.

"Joey I'm not that good a fighter, Lara's better."

"Atem I of all people should know you're a good fighter after all the times you've kicked my ass." The blonde laughed. Yugi lightly blushed while laughing so he could cover up the blush. Two minutes later the bell went to signify 1st period.

"Erm do any of you know where chemistry is?" Yugi asked looking a little lost.

"It's ok we will take you, we have lab too. You will be in our class considering there is only one chemistry class." Atem said, smiling at his look alike. The blonde lead the way over to the chemistry class that had just been reopened the day before. Out side the class leaning against the wall was a tall figure dressed in normal casual clothes. Dark blue skinny jeans with boots underneath his jeans. He wore a black Lostprophets sleeveless t-shirt with a matching denim jacket.

He had stone cold blue eyes with dark brown hair that hung down over his face. Smiling he stood up straight and held his arms out towards Joey who quickly walked over to him. While they were hugging and kissing, Atem turned to Yugi.

"Don't worry Yugi, there are girls here too if your not like these two. Shall we go in before Joey finds the chemicals?" Atem said, smiling at the other while motioning for him to go in the class.

"I don't date much, not after my ex, ok why should we go in before Joey?" Yugi asked looking upset and confused.

"Oh sorry if I miss judged you. You seemed surprised that Joey and Kaiba are together. Joey has a habit of blowing the lab up a lot. It's ok when we have enough, but nearly every week is just stupid sometimes." Atem replied feeling guilty for what he said.

"No it's alright you just met me, can't expect you to know every thing about me can I?" Yugi asked, sending another wink at the other. Atem smiled and sat in his seat near the front of the class. Yugi was quite nervous around Atem. He couldn't help looking at Atem just to look into those lovely warm crimson eyes.

Yugi couldn't help but notice Atem was tanned slightly. His arms were muscular along with his chest. Joey and Kaiba sat at the table next to them talking. Their teacher was not there yet, he was always late.

Not long after Yugi had drifted off in his foughts he was snapped out of them when a girl walked in. She looked to be the same height as Atem. She had long black hair with a white bang that hung over her face. Sapphire blue eyes stared right at Atem who was smiling. She was slightly tanned too just like Atem. She had a cool pair of black buckled boots that went just under her knees. Black skinny jeans with a sleeveless t-shirt and a normal black button up shirt over the top. She had a 2 row black and silver studded belt hanging from her waist. A red and black corset glove on her right hand along with 2 leather bracelets on the other. The necklace she wore had a dragon curled around a sword with a red diamond on the handle of the sword.

She walked over to join Atem and Yugi at their table.

"Lara why are you wearing my shirt?" Atem asked smiling.

"I couldn't find mine and yours is nicer. Who's this?" Lara asked smiling at them.

"That's it Lara I'm putting a lock on my door, your always nicking my shirts. This is Yugi, Lara. Yugi this is my annoying but most times nice sister." Atem said before laughing his head off.

"Cool, nice to meet ya Yugi." Lara smiled at her brother that looked a tomato from laughing.

"Hey Lara where ya bin? Ya missed tutor." Came the familiar voice of the blonde.

"I've been looking through Atem's wardrobe for a nice shirt, why ya missed me pup?" Lara replied holding her hand to her mouth so she didn't laugh, at the now red faced blonde.

"Argh, I wish ya would stop calling me that I get enough from Kaiba never mind you as well." Joey said looking a little frustrated.

"Awe cheer up Jo it's not that bad being nicknamed pup." Lara replied while looking around to spot Suigintou who hadn't shown up yet. "Just think Joey you call Kaiba 'moneybags' a lot, I know he's rich like, your mainly nicknamed 'pup' because of when your in P.e class."

"Yea and? I'm the best in the whole school. Anyways Lara don't you have anyone else to annoy like Yami?" The blonde said smiling at Atem.

"Who's Yami?" Yugi asked looking confused.

"That would be Atem's middle name; Joey usually says it forty times a day." Lara replied before Joey could say a word.

"Woo Suigintou where you been?" Asked Lara the tall girl walking over to them. The girl had long white hair, dark blue or brown eyes. She wore the same as Lara but her jeans had skeleton hands on the ass and a different necklace that looked to be a cross.

"Hey Lara sort of was asleep still, up most of last night. Ya know can't sleep much. Who is the new comer?" Suigintou asked in a calm soothing voice.

"Oh Suigintou this is Yugi. Yugi this is my dear friend Suigintou." Lara replied, looking over to the to the small male.

Later on that day after spending the day with Yugi, Atem had invited him to hang out at the night club.

Yugi was with Joey when they came to the night club to meet Atem, Lara and Seto. They came into the big hall with booths all around the wall except where the bar was. The floor was crowded with people forming a circle around two people that dancing to the beet of the music. His mouth dropped when he realised it was Atem and Lara. No matter what Yugi did he couldn't pull his eyes away from Atem, who was dressed in tight black leathers.

Lara also wore leathers but you could hardly see her from Yugi's view. Atem's T-shirt was leather, it stopped above his belly button to reveal some more of his tanned skin. Yugi walked down to get a better view of the boy he had just met that day.

At the end of the song Lara walked over to where Yugi was and got him to join Atem for the next song.

"Wait, wait I don't know if I can dance like you two." Yugi said sounding terrified. Atem smiled at him before saying.

"Don't worry, I will help you ok? Right just relax and let me guide you." Atem gently moved Yugi closer to him and placed his hands on the others sides. Then began to move when the next song started.

After about half an hour Yugi was starting to get the hang of it, when he realised the time. It being his being his second day here he already knew the tales of Domino and their nocturnal creatures. He looked into those beautiful crimson eyes nearly losing himself; he shook himself back to reality.

"I'm sorry I have to go. I will see you tomorrow." He said before Atem could stop him walking off and into the night. Atem motioned for Lara to follow him out of the club. They had unfinished business with Marik and Bakura from the night before. Out of the shadows they called for their other sides. Changing how they looked and what they wore.

Atem's hair turned completely black except his golden bangs His leathers became black and gold. His eyes changed only slightly his pupils became thin lines in his eyes. Like cats eyes, they became even brighter red.

Lara's black leathers merged with fire red, her eyes turned a dark crimson colour, her hair turned a nice shade of blood red. As soon as they reached the alley behind the night club, their guardian Mischa showed up to join them with the new power in town. Mischa never felt threatened by anything, but some how she was now. Even Lara and Atem could feel the new power in town; it was strong, stronger than anything they had ever faced.

There was something up with Atem, he seemed distracted some how, he never gets distracted.

"Sen what's wrong? You seem distracted." Phoenix asked while running along side with Sphynx and Mischa. (1)

"Nothing Phoenix, thinking is all, what do you mean I look distracted?" Sphynx asked while turning his attention to the figure approaching them. Similar hair to Sphynx but his had a hint of electric blue. His black leathers shone electric blue in the light. Just like Sphynx and Phoenix he wore a petit black mask over his cyan blue eyes. Sphynx stopped Phoenix before she could any closer to the dark figure. Light groans turned their attention to Bakura and Marik leaning against the wall on the floor. From the state they were in, I guessed that the figure in front wasn't going to be easy.

"Come to save your friends? You won't stand a chance if you fight like these two." The boy said with a smile.

"You will be lucky to survive against us." Sphynx shouted as his eyes went a lighter shade of crimson. The figure lunged for Phoenix, without the other noticing she moved to the side to see that the figure had turned before colliding with the wall. Sphynx sensed something coming up behind him. He gently grabbed one of his sais to strike the other. The end of the sai landed between the others hands. He smirked then pushed against the sai as he was hit at the side by Phoenix. Phoenix had put a lot of force into that punch, she managed to knock him into the wall. He didn't expect her to hit that hard.

Sphynx put his sai back into the scabbard and headed towards the boy dressed like them. He grabbed the boy by the throat and raised him up to Sphynx's height.

"Who are you?" Sphynx snapped.

"It's none of your concern who I am, Sphynx, Phoenix." The other laughed in Sphynx's grip. Sphynx tightened his grip on the boy, he moved the boy towards himself then threw him back into the wall.

"Now, lets try this again who are you?" Sphynx snapped again.

"Alright, alright I will tell you who I am. The names Falcon." He replied, just as he finished he moved his knee to strike Sphynx in the stomach. Sphynx let go as he dropped to the ground in pain. Phoenix jumped for Falcon as he grabbed one of Sphynx's sais and sliced her across the stomach before disappearing into the night. Sphynx reached for Phoenix so he could take her back home. Mischa opened up a portal of shadows that lead to their place. When they reached the familiar environment of their apartment. Sphynx removed her mask so she could return back to normal. He carried her bridal style back to her dark room. He gently placed her down on her bed, so she could rest.

"Sphynx She will be ok you know she heals faster than what you." Mischa as Sphynx removed his own mask.

"I know Mischa, it's that boy. The power he has." Atem replied.

"You could sense his power too. I can't sense him now." She said as she disappeared into the shadows of the night. He looked at the clock on the wall before heading to his own room.

(1) Sen in Egyptian means brother.
