Chapter Four
As Jaden and the others rode down the street he could sense that something was wrong but what he didn't know. That was until they turned the corner to the mall. Until Jaden heard the scream he had never in his life ever wanted to hear. "ATEM!"
"Guys lets go!" yelled Yusei and the five of them revved their rides up.
"ATEM! Crisis get away from him!"
"Well well if it isn't Akanlumos."
"Shut it and stay away from him." said Yugi he knew that he couldn't stop Crisis he never could. Only him and Atem together could defeat him. Or at least seal him away.
"So you care for the pharaoh?" asked Crisis. He smiled and attacked Atem again. Atem groaned and Yugi couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want to expose the organization but he couldn't stand seeing his crush getting hurt. Then he heard the sound of five runners. Turning around Yugi smiled when he saw the six of his friends riding up to him and Atem. "Hey Yugi need a hand?" asked the one on the red runner
"Yusei Akiza." said Yugi "Jaden Alexis, Atticus Jesse."
"YOU! How did you get here?" asked Crisis
"Simple. The Crimson Dragon brought Aki and I here." said Yusei
"And I live in this time period just like Yugi and Atem." said Jaden "And by the way. You picked the wrong time line to attack, Kroso."
'That's why he looks familiar.' thought Atem. 'Kroso is Crisis.' Suddenly he couldn't hold the building up any longer and it started crashing around him.
"No Atem!" shouted Yugi
"My, my what a decision. Chase me or save your friend." said Kroso laughing and running away
"Kroso we will destroy you!" shouted Jaden.
"But right now we have to save Atem." said Yugi nearly crying.
"I'm on it." said Akiza and using her powers to stop the rocks from falling Atticus moved the rocks that had Atem pinned down. Yugi ran over to his crush and saw that Atem was hurt pretty bad.
"No Atem."
"I'll be fine Yugi. Trust… me this is… nothing." said Atem then he fell unconscious.
"He'll be fine after he gets some rest." said Jaden and Yugi knew that Jaden was right. Atem had been through much worse before. "Lets get out of here."
"Agreed." said Yugi and the eight of them left the area. Yugi rode on the back of Atticus's while holding Atem. Atem please be okay. he thought. Yugi didn't know what he would do if he had lost his crush again.
Atem stood in front of the three Egyptian gods once again, like he did when they told him that he was returning to the mortal realm. He had a feeling that he knew why he was there and he didn't like the idea at all. Atem had to admit he was scared to death, if he hadn't died when the mall fell then he was about to die again. However when he heard Ra speak the words that he did not expect to hear he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Pharaoh Atem we have decided to send you Marik and Bakura back to earth to live the lives that you did not live back in Egypt."
"But my lords I do not understand. I thought I was just to teach Akanlumos his powers."
"Yes that was originally the idea, however the moment you risked your life for people you had never met you proved that you still had the kindness and passion you had for your people as a ruler." said Obelisk.
"Besides you had someone speak for you to return."
"What? Who?" asked Atem
"I did." said Cordin walking in. "I know how much you and Akanlumos care for one another as I was there the day you became top mage."
"Karos." said Atem shocked.
"Yes Atem."
"Atem It's time that you returned and destroyed that miserable dark creature." said Slifer.
"Thank you my lords." said Atem and he returned to the mortal realm with Cordin.
Yugi had stayed with Atem the whole time that he was unconscious. Wither he was awake or had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Yusei knew what it was like since he and Akiza had gotten into the same situation in their own time line. So he and Akiza told Yugi that they would run the shop when it was time to open it the next morning. Thanking them Yugi just sat down beside his crush where he had stayed and not moved.
"Acheron I'm worried. It's been a week since Kroso attacked and Yugi hasn't moved since we got back with Atem." said Jaden
"Don't worry I'm sure things will return to normal soon." said Acheron. He was upset himself. After learning the fact that Kroso was the very one that destroyed all of their lives so many years ago, he couldn't believe that he had insisted to Cordin that he join with the Chains of Time. "So what now? Since Kroso is exposed I suppose he'll go after Yugi's powers."
"That is his goal." said Atem's voice from the stairs causing everyone to look that direction. They saw the former Pharaoh leaning on Yugi's shoulders as he came down the stairs.
"What do you mean Atem?" asked Acheron.
"Ashe he wants my powers because he knows that both Atem and I can seal him away." said Yugi
"What? Yugi you mean you're-"
"That's right my true name is Akanlumos guardian of the top mage Aros." said Yugi and he continued to explain everything
"Damn. And I thought my life was complicated." said Jaden.
"I don't think that there has ever been one more complicated than Yugi's." said Cordin from the doorway to the shop.
"Cordin." said Yugi "What do you know of this?"
"Not much. Just that Kroso knows if you seal him away again then he can not return."
"Why not?" asked Jaden
"Because the moment that Atem and Yugi sealed him away there was a piece of his power that broke away from them. Five thousand years later that piece became Zorc, Lord of the Shadows. Then there was all the troubles you had in this time line." Cordin turned to Yugi. "Like with Pegasus, Marik and Bakura." then he turned to Jaden. "And there was the Shadow Riders and Viper."
"But what about-"
"Yes he was behind the group known as Ilaster." said Cordin to Yusei. "The Crimson Dragon, who is on terms with the gods, chose the five Signers, however Ilaster had gotten to Roman and corrupted him and Rex. When you Jack and Crow dueled him and you proved that bonds were better than absolute power, you proved yourself the leader and Crow who had stood up to the Dark Signers despite the fact he wasn't a Signer, the Crimson Dragon gave the final Sign to Crow."
"So it was him that destroyed our worlds." said Jaden
"Yes."
"What I don't understand is how he broke free." said Yugi.
"As to that I do not know Akan." said Cordin. "I must return to Headquarters. I don't like this any more than you guys do but I want you on your guard. Atem I suggest you move in with Yugi since it's him Kroso wants."
"Yes sir." said Atem and he left. Then he turned to Yugi "Um is that okay?"
"Of course." said Yugi. "And if you guys want to stay there's plenty of room here as well."
"That's okay Yugi." said Jaden. "The four of us need to get back to Academy Island anyway. I have a feeling that Kroso will head there to steal the powers of the others."
"Okay. What about you Yusei?" asked Yugi
"We'll stay." said the turbo duelist and the two followed Yugi and Atem up the stairs. Yugi hated to admit it but he knew that Cordin was right in suggesting Atem staying wit Yugi. However there was the problem that with him and Atem on rocky ground with their relationship it wasn't going to be easy for Yugi to concentrate on things.
Atem thought back to the first day he became top mage in Radiant nearly ten thousand years ago. He and Akan were lovers that no one had known about. If they had known about it then Akan would be severely punished and Atem would most likely would've had to kill the young mage. Luckily Cordin or Karos had hidden the fact that his student and the prince were together. Now it looked like him and Yugi were started on the same path as before. Atem knew that was the reason that he and Akan had been able to seal the demon and Kroso knew it too. That was why he wanted to destroy the young boy.
As Yugi led Yusei and Akiza to their room he heard the phone ringing downstairs. Atem told Yugi that he would show them the guest room and to go answer the phone. Thanking his crush he ran back to the store to pick the phone up. Then he thought better who would be calling at ten at night? Slowly picking it up he answered with his normal greeting though the store was closed.
'Yug are you okay? Cordin just told me what happened with you and Atem." said the voice of his best friend.
Smiling Yugi leaned on the counter and said "I'm fine Joey and before you ask yes Atem's fine too."
"That's good. I could of wringed Cordin's neck when I found out that he didn't tell me until a week after it happened."
"Chill Joey we're fine but we are on an Alert." said Yugi and he explained what had happened at the mall and what Cordin had told him and the others.
"So this Kroso is the reason we had to go through the Shadow Games?" asked Joey
"Yeah."
"Man that's harsh. Hey you want me to come over to your place and help you watch out for him?" asked Joey and Yugi had to admit that it was a good idea, however he had Atem there along with the two signers. He knew that for the moment they would be safe.
"Nah that's okay. You stay with Serenity and Seto." said Yugi
"Damn that sight of yours has gotten a lot better since Atem's trained you." said Joey "Later."
"Later." said Yugi and he hung up the phone. Then he turned to the stairs. He was tired of being on rocky grounds with Atem. They had been like that for about five years when Atem first came back to the mortal realm. Tonight he was going to show his yami just what he could do.
Atem stood outside the room he and Yugi had shared when they were once one. He couldn't believe that it had only been ten years but it had and now they were in more danger than ever. Atem couldn't stand it if anything happened to Yugi. Gods I can't believe that I've done it again. I've fallen in love with Yugi.
"I thought so." said Yugi from behind him.
Smiling Atem realized that he had left the block down so Yugi had heard him. "It's not nice to eavesdrop."
"I could tell you the same thing. How long did you sit there listening to me and Joey?" asked Yugi smiling.
Atem blushed "You knew I was there?"
"Yep. You know Atem there is one thing I have been wondering." said Yugi
"What's that?" asked Atem
"How your lips taste." said Yugi
"Really why don't you find out your self." said Atem and they both leaned in and kissed once more but this time it was deeper. Yugi had total control and he had Atem pinned to the door. He was begging Atem for entrance and that was one thing that Atem would grant once more. His and Yugi's tongues wrestled for control which Yugi won seeing how he was in control of the whole kiss.
Then they had to part due to the need to breath. Both panting Yugi smiled at Atem and said "Just like I thought. Irresistible."
"Yours too." said Atem
"Um Atem I was wondering, if we could take the next step." said Yugi
"Of course. I would like nothing better." said Atem and they leaned in once more. Kicking the door open Yugi and Atem walked over to the bed in the room and started to take one another pants and shirts off. Then Yugi and Atem were laying on the bed facing one another. Yugi still couldn't believe that for their first time his love was willing to be on the other end but he wasn't going to make this a bad experience. Yugi looked at Atem and wondered how anyone so perfect could ever want him to make love to him, let alone touch him.
Atem smiled as he saw his little Hikari looking at him. He knew that Yugi wanted to do this. This was something that Yugi had wanted to do since the first night he had kissed him. Leaning forward Yugi took Atem's head and took his lovers lips for his own. Atem moaned as he felt Yugi's tongue beg for entrance once more, which he granted. His and Yugi's tongues danced as Atem tried again to gain control but just couldn't seem to get it. Then he felt Yugi run his hands down Atem's chest and to his member. He then started to rub it causing Atem to moan once more. He loved the way Yugi touched him.
Yugi smiled as he broke away from his lover. He knew that Atem was more than ready for him and so was he. So Yugi showed Atem three fingers and Atem nodded Yugi to continue. As Yugi put his first finger in Atem's entrance he felt Atem tense at the feeling and he started to rub his lover once more. After Atem had relaxed Yugi put another of his fingers in and then the third.
Atem couldn't believe just how much he was enjoying having Yugi's fingers inside him. He didn't even notice when the third went in however when Yugi took his fingers out and replaced it with his own member Atem gasped at the amount of pleasure that he felt in knowing that his little angel was making love to him.
Yugi smiled as he heard Atem gasp. He had to admit that he had not expected to feel the pleasure that Atem was feeling by him just being inside his lover. But now that he was he knew somehow that it was right. After everything the two of them had been through with the Shadow Games and Zorc then Kroso trying to take Yugi's powers. They had a long road to get to the moment that they were currently at but Yugi wouldn't change it for anything in the world. True they were still on that road seeing how they still had to fight Kroso but at that moment he didn't care about anything but his yami right there beneath him Looking up at Atem he asked if he was okay to keep going.
"Yes Yugi. Please show just all you have."
Yugi laughed "Okay but just remember you asked for it." and he started to thrust. At first it was slow and easy but Atem felt them get harder and faster until finally Yugi was going so fast and hard that Atem couldn't keep from coming.
"Oh Yes Yugi please don't stop." said Atem. Smiling Yugi kept going and finally found the sensitive spot that he had been looking for.
"OH MY GOD!" shouted Atem as Yugi hit his prostate "YUGI GOD AGAIN!"
Yugi did as Atem had asked and hit his prostate again and again until Atem just couldn't hold it in any longer. "Oh god Yugi I'm… gonna…" and Yugi understood. So he stayed in while taking his lovers member in his mouth. He then hit Atem's prostate once more. "Oh god Yugi!" he shouted as the milky substance came into Yugi's mouth. Once Yugi was done drinking off Atem, he looked back to his love. There was a passion that Yugi had never seen before.
"Oh god Yugi I love you."
"And I love you Atem." said Yugi as he continued to make love to Atem again and again. Atem wanted Yugi to continue and so did Yugi. However despite the fact that he wanted to continue making love to his Pharaoh Yugi had started running out of energy. So he hit his Yami's prostate one more time to hear his love cry once more then he pulled out of Atem. They both laid there content with everything.
The next morning Yugi and Atem walked down the stairs together to see that Akram had already started to set things up for that days work. Looking up Akram smiled and couldn't help the feeling that he had. "I was wondering where the two of you were."
"Funny." said Atem as Yugi started to blush. "Anyway Yugi I'm going to see Marik and Bakura I need to talk to them."
"Okay just be careful." said Yugi and Atem promised that he would. After giving Yugi a light kiss on the cheek Atem left the gameshop.
"So you're finally together thought you would never do it."
"Shut up Akram and get to work." said Yugi blushing again causing Akram to howl with laughter.
"Yes boss." said Akram and the two of them started their day but that didn't mean that there wasn't someone watching.
In the shadows Kroso watched as Atem left the store. He knew he had to strike fast but he couldn't do it until the boy was alone. Mark my words Moto I will get you. He thought as he returned deeper into the shadows.
