Disclaimer: I don't own Yugi-Oh or Inuyasha!
AN: Fic is for DarkAngel048. My first Kag/Atem (a.k.a Yami Yugi) pairing.
BTW: In this fic Yugi's eyes will be Aqua Green and Atem's will be Violet. In the manga Yugi's are sometimes Aqua and sometimes they are Violet.
Last Time: "Now I have a question." she said and they looked at her expectantly.
"How do you feel about breaking and entering?" she asked very seriously.
"I can't believe we are doing this." Tea whined.
Kagome rolled her eyes as she, Serenity, and Yugi made their way to check the back way of the museum. They had Tea and Tristan watching the front and Joey was going to be the distraction while they slipped in the back way to get to Atems' body. That was the missing peice that was needed to give Atem his own corporeal form.
Serenity was perched half way between the front and the back, she was to give Kagome and Yugi the signal to go on ahead. Kagome and Yugi were centered in the back under the back cameras to avoid being seen and were waiting for Serenitys' signal.
Tea and Tristan were pretending to be a couple walking across the front lawn of the museum and then were confronted by Joey, acting as a jealous drunk ex of Teas'. When the action in the front began and pulled the guards away to see the disturbance, Serenity gave them the signal to go. Kagome knelt down and picked the back enterance lock and then they were in.
Kagome and Yugi quickly made their way through the museum to the Egyptian section. When they arrived someone was already there.
"Marik?" Yugi said.
"Pharoh." Marik said and bowed before Yugi.
"What are you doing here?" Yugi asked him.
"I was sent to help you. Odion and I were given signs that you had returned to this plane and that a priestess would help you." Marik explained.
"I see. Well if you are here to help, I will need just a few fragments of the original body." Kagome said.
"As you wish." Marik said getting a nod from Yugi.
Marik disabled the alarm and opened the display case with ease and let Kagome get the peices that she needed. When she had finished he closed the case and reabled the alarm and then disappeared. Kagome and Yugi didn't waste a second and hightailed it out of the museum, without being caught on any camera.
They came around the corner and met up with Serenity and made their way to help break up the fake fight with Tristan and Joey.
"Joey!" Serenity said surprised.
"Serenity." Joey slurred.
"Miss, do you know him?" a guard asked as they approached.
"Yes, sir. He is my younger and apparently drunk brother." she said very annoyed.
"He has been harrassing this young couple." the guard said pointing to Tea and Tristan.
"Joey! You know that you aren't with Tea any more, now let's go home." she scolded.
"Ok, Serenity." he slurred.
"Just get him home miss and keep an eye on him." the guard said.
"Yes, sir. I will not let him out of my sight." she said and pulled Joey by the arm, scolding him as they went down the street.
Kagome and Yugi followed them and when they were out of sight of the museum, they dropped their act and ran to Serenity and Joeys' place. Tristan and Tea met them there several minutes later. They worked into the night under Kagomes' instructions and when things were ready Kagome had to explain some things.
"Kagome how is this going to work?" Tristan asked pointing to a kiddie pool of greenish foul smelling liquid.
"It will pull the Pharohs' soul from Yugis' body." she said.
"Are you sure?" Tea asked.
"100%" she answered.
"But..." Tea began.
"Look, I would know because I have had my soul sucked out, remember." Kagome said and Tea flushed.
"But what about the clay body? It doesn't look like him and doesn't have certain parts." Joey asked.
"I mixed the remains in with the silt and when it is ready it will take on his true form. Joey, it will also have fully functioning parts." she said.
"Fully functioning?" he asked.
"Yes, dumdum, fully functioning. If he has sex with a girl he will get her knocked up, fully functioning." she said with a little blush staining her cheeks.
"Wow. You know your voodoo." Tristan remarked.
"It's not voodoo. It's dark magic. Since his soul is already here, I don't see it as dark." she muttered.
"Kagome the kiln is at the right temperature." Serenity said.
"Alright put it in the kiln." Kagome instructed and the men put it in the kiln.
They then sat and waited and waited for the body to be ready. It took an entire 24 hours for his body to finish and when Kagome cracked open the casing it revealed a very naked Atem, staring lifelessly at Yugi without breathing. Kagome, blushing, led Yugi over to the kiddie pool and had him get in. Atems' soul didn't hesitate a second from ripping itself from Yugis' body and crashed into its' newly formed one. The moment the soul entered the body it gasped in air and was frantically looking around.
"Calm yourself, my Pharoh." Kagome said softly.
Atem looked at her and calmed immediately. He blinked several times to get his eyesight to clear and coughed to clear his lungs. Kagome instructed the others to take Yugi to lie down and to bring Atem some clothes. While the others were gone Kagome, helped Atem to drink some water and began to explain things to him, blushing the whole while.
He remembered that they were going to do what they had done but he didn't remember leaving Yugis' body to go into his new one. Kagome told him that it was normal for that to happen and that he shouldn't worry about it.
Tea arrived back with a pair of boxers and a robe. She handed them to Atem and explained there wasn't anything in his size around the place. He nodded his acknowledgment and slipped on the garments.
"I thank you priestess." he said to Kagome.
Kagome glared at him then. Was it really that hard to use her name? Really?
"Ka-go-me. Say it with me, Ka-go-me!" she said to him.
Atem didn't say her name with her but he did smirk. She was easily riled over something so trivial, in his opinion, as whether she was called her name or her title.
"I know your name." he said and she gave him a skeptic look. "Ka-go-me." he said her name and it fell from his lips like the most rarest of silks.
Kagome blushed the deepest she had that entire day and she averted her eyes elsehwere than him. She looked at Tea and saw a mixture of anger, sadness, and embarrassment sweeping over her features. Did Tea like Atem? It must have been so and Atem didn't know and he was flirting with her right in front of Tea. Ouch, that had to hurt. She was sure the relationship between herself and Tea would be very strained. She couldn't blame Tea; she, herself, had been the same way with Kikyo and Inuyasha. But now, she had an attraction to the Pharoh that was much different than the one she had had for Inuyasha.
She was sure too, that the attraction wasn't one-sided this time, totally reciprocated. Atem just showed that he liked her and well, she liked him. The moment he had touched the card she had been trapped in a wave of energy had flowed between them and well it was nice. A pulsing warmth was how Kagome would describe it. A warmth that reminded her of being safe and loved.
Kagome couldn't help herself. She placed her hand on his cheek and he turned his mouth to her palm and kissed it. Kagome ran her thumb over his lips and moved closer to him. She couldn't help it. It was like they were magnets, he was North and she was South, they attracted each other. Atem cupped her chin and was bringing his lips down to hers...
"*GASP*" a very hurt gasp sounded off to their sides.
Kagome knew that kind of sound. A hurt and heart broken sound. She, herself, had made that very sound when she had caught Inuyasha and Kikyo together. But they were right in front of Tea and she was now running out of the room, in tears was Kagomes' guess.
"Tea." she whispered softly.
"What is the matter with Tea?" Atem asked, genuinly confused by Tea.
"She likes you... alot." Kagome said to him.
"She does? I didn't know." Atem said to her.
"I know you didn't. I didn't know until now. I should have stopped this before it even started." Kagome berated herself.
"What? You didn't know that she liked me any more than I did and you wouldn't have been able to stop it before it started. I didn't even know it was going to happen and neither of us know when it will happen again." Atem said.
"Yes, but... I have experienced the very thing Tea is feeling. I was in love once but he didn't love me as more than a friend. He loved my incarnation..., you remember, right?" she asked and he nodded at her.
He knew the story of her, Inuyasha, and Kikyo. He could see how she could relate with Tea, but this time she was the Kikyo, only not dead. He was Inuyasha and Tea was her. Or they were close to it.
"She hates me now and if she doesn't, she will if we let this go any further." Kagome said.
"Priestess! What happens between you and I is no one elses' concern. Tea, she is a good friend and I never saw her as any other than such. If she and I were to be together it would be her here with me and not you. I am a few thousand years old, I know what I want and know my own desires. Tea is still very young, younger than you, her heart will mend from this puppy love." he said and he was right.
Why was he right? He just was and Kagome knew it. She got over Inuyasha, so Tea will get over Atem, in time. But Kagome also knew that before she got over him she might try some kind of drastic attempts to get him as her own or hurt them. She had been almost jealous enough over Kikyo to have done that. Would she do something like that if they got together? Why was she thinking like that? Her and Atem, together?
"Atem, are you telling me that after meeting me just a day ago that you want to have a relationship with me?" she asked.
"Yes I do and more. I know what you are for me. The gods have given me an insight on people entering into mine and Yugis' life and how they will affect us; positively or negatively. You, priestess, are my match." he said and Kagome was stunned.
His match? As in soul mate? Love of his life? What?
"Your match?" she asked tentatively.
"My Queen." he said to her.
"Queen." Kagome said the word trying it out.
"I will let you have your time to figure out your own feelings. I will, however, not take no as answer for you becoming my girlfriend." he said to her.
"Demanding aren't we?" she asked.
"No, I just know the outcome but I will allow you to find your way to me." he said confidently.
"Maybe." she said and turned for the stairs.
"Maybe?" he asked.
"You said you wouldn't take no as an answer but you didn't say anything about maybe." she said and went up the stairs with him hot on her heels.
