Raysgurl18: First off Happy new years too all! *hands out drinks and brownies*

Yugi: Brownies! *Takes a plate for himself glaring at everyone who came near him.*

Yami: Yugi are you okay? *Looks worried*

Raysgurl18: Oh he'll be fine once he runs out of brownies. Anyhow disclaimer as before I own nothing but the plot bunnies dancing on my head.


Atemu managed to make it back into the castle without anyone seeing him and headed straight to his room. Taking the glass work out he set it down on his desk smiling as he looked at it. Even tho she was smiling he could swear he saw the longing in her eyes as she reached out. 'Must be reaching for her love.' Atemu said in his mind as he stood up and took off his cloak changing into his normal leather pants and black tunic with a red sash before heading down to the throne room to get his mother to come down.

"Atemu! there you are!" His mother cried out as she saw him enter the throne room.

"I'm here mother." He said as he was hugged. Hugging her back he stepped back bowing lightly to the man still sitting on his throne.

"Hello father." He said as Ahknemkhanen nodded.

You cause a lot of trouble this time Atemu...what was so important that you had to skip your studies?" He asked as Atemu huffed.

"I just didn't want to study...I wanted to go out and explore a bit." The prince answered.

"Your a crown prince Atemu! You can't just go gallivanting all over the place you have to study and be ready to take the crown." His mother said sitting down in her throne.

"And to find a wife too." She added seeing the anger flare in Atemu's eyes.

"I don't need a wife to rule mother I want someone who I can trust and rely on, not some pretty air -headed princess." He growled glaring at his mother who glared back. Ahknemkhanen sighed.

"That's enough Akina...Atemu go to your room and finish your studies...I'll send Seto to keep an watch over you." Atemu dropped his shoulders in defeat before he walked out of the throne room seeing his cousin.

"Well...that went well didn't it?" Seto asked getting a glare.

"Shut up." He snapped heading to his room with Seto following along.


"Yugi! I'm back!" Solomon called out entering the house only to get tackled in a hug.

"Welcome home grandpa!" Yugi said cheerfully as Solomon laughed.

"I take it you missed me?" He asked as Yugi let him go and took the bags.

"Very much so Grandpa...Oh someone brought one of my artworks." Yugi told him about it and stranger. Solomon nodded as he listened to his grandson and smiled.

"That is very interesting." He said as he sat down in a chair with a groan.

"Are you okay Grandpa?" Yugi asked looking worried. The old man smiled.

"Yes just tired from the trip." He answered as Yugi nodded and touch his pendant taking the tiredness and pain from his grandfather.

"You should rest Grandpa...I'll make supper." Yugi said as he kissed his cheek before going to the kitchen. After they eat Solomon headed to bed leaving Yugi to lock everything up. Which he did with ease before going to his room and sitting on the window sill looking at the moon before he took the pedant off shrinking down to his normal size and left the pendant there before he climbed into a flower on the sill feeling the leaves close around him for the night and fell asleep.


Yugi woke up early as the flower opened to take in the morning light. Yugi yawned as he jumped out of the flower and picked up the pedant before he grabbed a rope and slid down it to the floor before becoming big again. His house was full of rope and ladders for him when he was small to make it easier at night. Getting dressed the small male went outside smiling at the sun as he spun around laughing.

"Yugi do you think you can do me a big favor?" Solomon asked looking out the window at Yugi.

"Yes grandpa?"

"Can you go to the next town over and take this package to him? It's for Rebbecca." He asked as Yugi nodded.

"Of course grandpa." He said as he came into the house getting some things for the short trip before carefully packing the box.

"Try and be back before night fall." Yugi nodded

"I will grandpa you can trust me." He said before kissing the man on the cheek then walked out of the house heading down the road smiling brightly. This was the first time he got to go on a trip alone and was so happy about.

Atemu smirk again as he slipped out of the castle wanting to see Yugi again, but when he got to the shop and see the old man he frowned before he over heard Solomon muttering about Yugi and Atemu know where he was going and set out after the boy wishing he had his horse.

"I can't wait to see you again Little One." He said to no one as he ran after hopping to catch up to the boy.


Raysgurl18: I know it's short but I didn't want to start the trip till the next chapter cause a lot of things are going to go down.

Yugi: I'm going to get kidnapped am I?

Raysgurl18: No...not yet but other things will be happening. *Grabs a bat and looks at it*

Atemu: Why does she have a bat?

Yugi: Why are you going as your real name?

Atemu: *Blinks* Cause Raysgurl18 needs to get used to it again.

Yugi: Why are we calling her that? Let's go by her nickname.

Athira: Well since I just got told it is still me don't worry. So Please review and have a very good new years and many good times threw the year!

P.S. Also I looked over and did fix some spelling mistakes if you see more please tell me.
