I'm sorry for the long wait. Computer access isn't available. I'm not sure how often it will be, but when it is, I'll work on updating. I'm sorry the chapter's so short. Oh! Can anyone tell me what I added from the series, into my story? It's pretty straightforward. Say it in a review.

Jou sighed as he made his way outside the palace. His mind was off, focusing on one person. He'll be back. He said he would... He sighed as he looked out at the setting of Re. It's been over a month since he last saw his lover.
Something important came up and he had felt it was his last chance to settle things. Since that evening, he hasn't heard or seen from him. Jou missed him like crazy.

Yugi sat, studying his latest lesson as usual. It was his way of getting his current situation off his mind. Lately, he's been receiving some minor pains in the center of his head. They come and go, but when he gets them, they're agonizingly painful and last at most a minute.
For the moment, he's been relieved of this pain and is struggling to keep up with his assignment. He wondered though, what was causing this pain and where did it come from?
When experiencing the pain, he feels some emotions. Such as annoyance, or irritation. It made no sense since he didn't feel like that beforehand and had no reason to when they occurred. It was something he was not looking forward to and hoped it'd stop soon.

Atemu sighed as he massaged his temples. His headache wouldn't leave for his life! How he hated all day meetings. He was grateful they were once every week. But lately, he's been getting these head pains a lot more frequently. And for his life, they wouldn't stop! He groaned and slammed his hands down onto the table.
"Enough!" His powerful voice stopped the talking. "I have head pains. I would like to resume this during our next meeting." With that, he stood and left the room, no voice dared to argue with him.
**
Yugi gasped in pain, clutching his forehead. Thatone felt like a knife had been stabbed into his forehead. Letting out slow breaths, hoping it would ease his pain, Yugi gently massaged his head. What on Earth was that? He had been fine moments ago and then...wow. If he wasn't in so much pain, he'd acknowledge how random it had been.
Easing his work aside, Yugi laid down. The action caused the pain to increase before it dulled down. Laying onto his side, facing the window, Yugi closed his eyes. He let out a breath, this really made no sense.
A few minutes later, Yugi heard the door open. Not in the mood to react or respond, he just kept his eyes closed. The door was shut and he listened to the familiar footsteps. His eyes shot open. Those weren't Atemu's footsteps.

Atemu sighed as he absentmindedly massaged his head. The pain was easing down as he entered the garden. Lowering his hand, he walked over to the bench he and Yugi had sat a while back. He pondered on multiple things, such as his headaches, and Yugi's lack of opening up to him. It annoyed him, but interested him as well.
His thoughts just...stopped at that moment. Completely blank as he felt a huge wave of fear and panic drown him. His heart started racing out of nowhere and he froze up. He couldn't breathe. What was going on?
'Atemu!'His eyes widened. That was his Hikari's voice! Forcing his body into motion, Atemu ran from the garden and to his room. As he passed up some guards, he called them over.
"Search the palace grounds! Someone is here!" He shouted. They nodded and in groups of two them all parted and went into separate places. How did he know that? What made him assume someone was in the palace? Then he remembered. It felt as though someone had grabbed at him in the second before he heard Yugi's scream.
Replaying the sound in his head made Atemu growl and he increased his speed. He only hoped the feeling he had felt hadn't really happened and that his Hikari was alright.

Skidding to a stop in front of his door, Atemu didn't waste time to catch his breath. He forced the door open and was hit by a col breeze. His scarlet eyes scanned the quiet room. There was no sign of a fight, the only thing out of place was the window being opened. And the lack of his Hikari's presence...
**
He carried Yugi's unconscious body bridal style. His eyes were unreadable. He looked at Yugi's peaceful expression, a 'hmph' passed through his nose at the child's content appearance. Won't be content for long, Little One. He thought and allowed a sadistic smirk to play across his face.
**
Atemu heaved a long sigh as he was once again told, by a different set of guards, that Yugi was nowhere to be found. "Continue looking." Another repeated phrase. The guards nodded and they marched off. Atemu shut his door and sat on his bed. Aibou...my Hikari...Yugi, where are you?
**
Yugi's eyebrows furrowed in his sleep. 'Aibou...my Hikari...Yugi, where are you?' Yugi's mouth moved without words coming out.
He mouthed his thought: Atemu...
