Anubis: Here's chapter 2 :D

MG:-_-' I thought I chased you out of here?

Anubis: As a god of the dead...I can stay where ever I like.

MG: Enjoy the chapter.


It was nearly dark and Atemu and Nefera was enjoying the stroll back from the arcade. Atemu had beaten Nefera in all but one game. "Atemu you are rough with playing games…you are a big bully." Nefera joked. Atemu smirked. "No don't give me that look. I won fairly and just in those games." Nefera gave a playful pout. "I think those games were rigged, especially that last one. I was super close to beating you there." Atemu smirked and held Nefera's hand. "I know." Atemu had walked Nefera to her house where Bakura was waiting. "Took you long enough Pharaoh, I thought you would have the courtesy of calling to say you and Neffy was alright." Atemu knew Bakura was irritated with him. "Sorry Bakura, But I did bring her home safe so you don't have to worry now." Bakura glared. "Fine…I give you two a minute alone." He walked back into the house. "I'll see you in school Nef, my princess." Nefera smiled. "You too, My king." Atemu gave her a small kiss on the lips and departed. He looked over his shoulders to see that Nefera had gone inside, but was looking out the window waving out to him. Atemu smiled and waved back. He walked on for a few blocks when he noticed in the distance a person all too familiar. Shit! Atemu duck behind the dumpster and waited. The person was walking by and then stopped in front of where Atemu was. Please…oh Ra…please don't let my uncle see me. His uncle was right next to where Atemu was. Then Atemu noticed another person coming up and talk to him. "Master Akinadin, we have nine hundred bodies ready to be used in the ritual." Atemu could see the sick smirk on his uncle's face. "Good we are on schedule, do you have the spell translated though?"

"No."

"Do you have the seven millennium items to be burned with the bodies?"

"No…"

"Do you even have the little brat of a pharaoh, Atemu, to give a drop of his blood, the blood of the fallen one and his twin to recite the spell?"

"Well no master…" Akinadin gave a growl. "THEN DON'T DARE TELL ME THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THE RITUAL IF WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE NECISSARY THINGS. I SHOULD KILL YOU ON THE SPOT FOR SAYING THAT WE HAVE THE THINGS WE NEEDED!" the other man shivered. "Sorry master. But how will we get Atemu? He is the tricky ingredient to get." Akinadin smirked. Atemu wanted to punch him. I'm not an ingredient you damn murderous bastard! "It won't be an easy task. The gods are looking after their precious fallen one. So confronting him won't work. We have to force him to do what we want. Force him into a situation he can't say no to. He is different than back when his was pharaoh. His emotions are more readable now…he doesn't hide it as well as he use to." Atemu glared. I hid my emotions better than you did at the time. "Besides, isn't it obvious that we are being spied upon?" Atemu eyes grew big. Oh crap in the nile! Atemu backed up as his uncles hand reached out into his hiding spot. Atemu felt a hand grabbed the back of his shirt. "SHIT!" He dug in his pockets and took out his pocket knife. "AHHG!" Atemu had stabbed the man in the knee and darted down the ally. His breathes were short and raged. In the distance, he could here his uncle's footsteps. Damn damn damn damn! I should have turned around and ran! Atemu then skid to a stop. A dead end. Atemu panicked now. F**k now I am going to die! Atemu looked around for any way out of this situation. Then he spotted the fire escape. Atemu smirked and jumped up to grab the ladder and climbed up it. His uncle was close behind. He grabbed his ankle. "You are coming with me Boy!"

"No way in hell!" Atemu kicked Akinadin in the face with his free leg and got up the ladder, but he was still trapped. Akinadin was right behind him. Atemu glared at him. "Stay back…You will not kill me so easily!" Akinadin smirked. "I'm not here to kill you nephew…I am actually glad you didn't die. You are the only one alive who can read the Millennium spell book and you are, by blood, a fallen one." Atemu frowned, "I am not some fallen one." His back was pressed against the rusty rails as his uncle came closer. "Don't be so sure of that Atemu. The millennium Items didn't chose you for no reason unless you actually had divine blood." Atemu looked behind him to see that below his feet was metal trash. If I jumped…not only would the fall break my legs…but the metal would kill me. His hands shook. "I am not some divine being Akinadin. I am just human. Just a person." Akinadin laughed as if this was a joke. "I know from the day you were born that you were not normal. You were an underweight baby who didn't cry when you were born, silent unlike your…." The railing broke under Atemu's weight. "AHG!" Atemu fell off and plummeted towards the sharp metal below. "NOOO!" Akinadin screamed. He growled and got down the ladder. The other man came up to Akinadin, "Did you catch him?"

"No he fell but something tells me we will run into him again." On the other side of the wall, Atemu was slowly waking up. There was a bloody gash on his head. "Uhg…" He looked around and noticed that he was not on the ground, but was floating in mid-air. "HEY!" Atemu was flailing around when he noticed two dark shapes attached to his back. They looked like wings that were made of smoke. Atemu looked down below him. The metal junk was still below him. Uhh? A thought came to his mind. "can I control these wing like things?" he closed his eyes and willed himself to move out of the way of the sharp metal. Just then he started to fall and hit the cold hard concrete ground. "OUCH!" Atemu opened his eyes and he was on the ground now. He looked up and saw just how far a fall he had. "I…" Atemu decided to hurry home before he had another run in with his uncle. This is just too weird! And I have seen weird!

Atemu made it home and locked the door. His back was against the door and Atemu slide down to the floor, panting. Yugi looked in and saw that Atemu looked like he was mugged. "HOLY COW! YAMI WHAT HAPPENED?!" Atemu shook his head. "I…I had a little run in with my…uncle." Yugi's eyes grew large. "What! He didn't hurt you did he?" Atemu shook his head. "No that doesn't matter, what freaked me out was how I got away. I fell off a building and almost got impaled, but I stopped falling…literally." Yugi frowned. "What do you mean stopped falling?"

"I mean I stopped in mid air. Just before hitting the metal, I was floating and there was these wings…well not exactly wings. They had a smoky look to them as if it was just smoke." Yugi frowned. "Could your shadow powers be acting up?" Atemu shook his head. "That would be weird…even for my shadow magic. Besides the gods took away my shadow magic." Atemu sighed. He felt dizzy. "Yugi can you help me up…I feel a little dizzy all of a sudden." Atemu knew that he was going to faint but couldn't stop it. As soon as Yugi helped Atemu up to his feet, Atemu eyes flickered and Atemu fell over. "YAMI!" Yugi held Atemu tightly so that he wouldn't hit the floor. Yugi checked Atemu's pulse. It was a slow beat. "MOM DAD HELP!" Yugi's mom and dad came running in. "Yugi what happened?"

"Atemu had a running with Akinadin." Yugi's dad picked Atemu up bridled style and laid him down on the couch. "I'll keep an eye on him, get me a first aid kit too."

"Yes sir." Atemu moaned as Yugi left. "S…sorry…I shouldn't have gotten up." Yugi's dad, Katsuta, smirked. "You knew you were going to pass out before you got up didn't you?" Atemu just nodded. "I feel worst now." Katsuta shook his head. "Atemu…what happened."

"Nothing…just a run in." Katsuta frowned. "Atemu Motou, tell me who did you ran into."

"My unc…Akinadin." Katsuta nodded. "Okay Atemu, was that how you got that cut on your head?"

"No…well yes, the rail hit me on the head when I fell off a fire escape on the fifth floor of a building."

"You don't look like you fell off the fifth floor of a building Atemu."

"That was because I stop in mid air." Katsuta stared at Atemu in disbelief. "You stop in mid air…Atemu are you sure you are not just saying this because of dizziness?"

"Katsuta I promise you I fell of a building and stopped falling in mid air! I know it sounds crazy but it is true, one minute I was falling the next thing I know I'm flailing around trying to get my feet on the ground." Atemu sat up. "Akinadin said that I was some divine being, that I was the only one who could read the Millennium spellbook. Do you have any ideas on what he might mean by that or what a fallen one is?"

"Sorry Atemu but in all my research I've never heard of anything as the fallen one. Maybe he was trying to scare you Atemu." Atemu frowned. "If he wanted to scare me…he would have done it sooner." Atemu got and walked upstairs before Yugi came back with the first aid kit. "Hey where did he…"

"In his room, I think he'll be find." Yugi looked up the stairs with a worried look. "Dad…Atemu was scared. I know when he tries to hide it and right now he is scared." Katsuta nodded in agreement. "A pharaoh was taught to never show their emotions to the people, even to his friends. I think Atemu has loosened up about that tradition but it has also revealed himself to his uncle, so his uncle knew that he was able to get to Atemu a little easier because Atemu has let go of his traditional ways."

"Atemu told me that was the reason why he died in the first place." Katsuta looked at Yugi with a surprised look. "He told you that?"

"Of course, He said that he was helpless against his uncle being possessed and when his uncle tried to steal the millennium puzzle from him. He broke the puzzle and killed himself before Akinadin could do anything to stop him. Atemu told me that he felt so alone and was so desperate to end that battle and save the people that the only think for him to do was to kill himself." Yugi looked back up stairs, "I just think that if he had just one other friend to help him…someone who he could show his emotions to, it would have ended differently." Katsuta smiled. "Yugi…He has that now. You're his friend…You two are closer than brothers and Atemu trust you the most. He loves you because you are there for him and you tell him things that come from the heart." Yugi smiled. "I know, and I love him too. If it wasn't for him…I would have never met you and I would still be the little kid in the back of the classroom." Katsuta smirked. "Atemu actually told me that you were the one who gained that confidence on your own will."

"He is just modest."

In his room, Atemu lied back down in bed. He had taken off his shirt and was contemplating. What is a fallen one? Atemu closed his eyes as he thought about any kinds of stories that might have a connection to a fallen one, but instead of finding an answer, he fell into a deep dreamless sleep.

Akinadin paced the classroom as he contemplated about what had transpired that night. "He doesn't know his true power yet, but I could feel that power in him grow as we speak." Akinadin paced to and fro, trying to think of a way to catch Atemu off guard. "I know he is at his most vulnerable when he is with that b***h Nefera, but if I harm her, not only will I anger Atemu, I would get the wrath of the thief as well." Akinadin frowned. "Then there is that Yugi…he is very close to Atemu. If something were to happen to Yugi, I could get close to Atemu. The problem with that plan is that Yugi is almost never alone. I would never be able to have a chance to harm him without having some sort of witness." Just then Dalmaa and Shenut, former servants of Professor Cornelius, walked in with a book. "Master Akinadin."

"What Dalmaa? Can't you see I am busy trying to come up with a way to capture Atemu and why do you have that book?"

"Shenut and I believe that there might be a way for you to be able to harm Yugi and Nefera at the same time." Akinadin crossed his arms and frowned. "And that way is…?"

"In this book of alchemy, there is a creature you can summon to invade a persons dreams. You can control what the person dreams about, even give them vivid nightmares." Akinadin smirked. "I see. I can blackmail those two to give me information on Atemu's abilities and his weaknesses. That way I can always be one step ahead of him." He flipped to the page that the two servants saved for him. "Ahh…I see, this is an ammit. Off course not the one that devourers souls mind you but this one can project my spirit into the dreams of others, causing them much grief and suffering. Lets have a test trial on my nephew first. I know what makes him scream in fear."
