Chapter 8

Atem is sitting by a window

How have I been sitting here?

A bird flies onto the windowsill. It sings a little tune and then it flies away. this new body is amazing. I could hear that bird through the window.

Yes they added some powers to Atem's new body to help him with his mission. He's only noticed 3 of them so far; stronger reflexes, keen hearing and increased knowledge. Unfortunately these powers came with a price. He would get tired very easily and wear him out. His appearance wasn't that different. It looked just like his pharaoh body but he looked a lot more adult like.

"ah!" Yugi and the others came around the block followed by a small lavender colored hair kid. "their back, but who's that?"

They entered the shop.

"Atem! I'm home, and I brought everyone just like you asked." Yugi said looking in the fridge. The others took a seat on the couch but the kid just stared at Atem. Atem walked over to Yugi but the kids eyes wouldn't stop glaring.

"Yugi who is that?" He asked pointing to the kid.

"that La-uhhhh… Kaoru." Yugi said. He put his hand on Atem's shoulder and a slight chill went up his back. "Don't worry he's a friend you can trust him." Yugi took some snacks from the fridge and passed them out to his friends. He took a seat next to Kaoru, who was still standing and staring at Atem.

"so what did you want to talk about?" Tea asked.

"We have to wait for a while. We're all not met." Atem said.

"wat do ya mean we're all here." Joey said.

"Not all who's concerned."

"Hey, Atem where's Grandpa?" Yugi asked

"He went out to help out one of his colleagues at a museum."

"oh, then who are we waiting for?" Just then a white limo stops in front of the shop and Seto Kaiba steps out.

"Ok, I'm here, now what's so urgent you needed to disrupt me from my work? I have a business to run and I don't have much time to spare so make it short. " He said angrily.

"Wat is Kaiba doing here!!!" Joey asked quite loudly.

"I called him to join us. I don't want to say this more than once." Everyone went silent. Whatever Atem was going to say, must be pretty important if he wants all of us here.

"so.. What's going on?" Yugi asked. Kaiba leaned against the wall, his arms were crossed.

"To tell you the truth I'm not that sure. Whatever they wanted me to do, isn't so clear from what I heard. All I know is that something.. Some kind of power, threatens our world."

"…again?" Tristian asked.

"Yes, but it's very different than what we've faced before."

"How different?" Ryou asked.

"From what the guardians told me it is a single power that could either help or destroy the world. And that someone or some people are trying to get that power."

"tat don't seem that different." Joey said.

"Who are the guardians?" Yugi asked.

"The ones who sent me here to find the power and protect it. I'm not exactly sure on who they are ,since they were invisible, but they are extremely powerful." He clutched his shoulder. For some reason it was feeling really funny.

"And why did you tell us this?" Kaiba asked.

"I need all of your help. I've been searching since I got here but I haven't found a trace. It could be anywhere and I have no idea on how to find it."

"Don't you think the guardians would have given you some way to find the power? Maybe a compass or some clues to where it is?" Yugi asked.

"They said they couldn't interfere on earth and only had enough power to send me here. And I guess a few other things…"

Other things? They all thought.

"…they seemed to have enhanced my senses. I feel very different that last time. I believe they did more than just my senses, but I am not sure. I cannot think clearly." He put his hand to his forehead and let out a few breaths.

"Are you ok?" Tea asked.

"I'll be fine. Just tired as all. Anyway I've told you all I can so please be alert."

"This doesn't seem like something too impossible for you to be doing alone." Kaiba said.

"You should of heard them…" Atem mumbled sitting down.

"Hear what?"

"The guardians… they sounded so scared. Those powerful beings in which you could feel their combined power surge across the room, be afraid of whatever the power was."

"…"

"I need all of your help since I cannot do it alone." As much as I would like to keep them out of this… I know I cannot find it without their help.

"…Fine. I'll keep a lookout for whatever the power may be." And with that Kaiba left in his limo.

"Well, if that's all you wanted to talk about we can go." Tristian asked.

"…yeah you may go." They all leave without saying goodbye.

"Atem… you're not saying everything."

"Yugi I've had strange dreams. You taken away… by this dark power. I could feel the power from my dream. I couldn't move and you were surrounded in a blue crystal…"

b-blue crystal?!

"… and then the shadows took you away." Atem sighed. "huh?" Lavi was still there and still staring.

"Lav-uhhhh… Kaoru! shouldn't you go home?" oh wait does she have a home?…I did find her in a forest and why does she look shorter? She was really short in the forest, then she grew my height in school, and now she's shorter again.

"Yugi who is this exactly?"

"ex-exactly…uhhh I'm not sure, uhh exactly, but you can trust him trust me. Koaru you can stay here for a while." until I know where you'll be staying.. Where do you go off when I can't find you?

Atem just walked away. He's not telling me everything either…

Yugi let out a deep breath. What am I supposed to do now. He took out the pendant from under his jacket. It was a such deep blue color. a blue crystal…He shook his heads breaking from his thoughts.

"You hungry Kaoru?" He took out 2 cookies from a jar. He handed Lavi a cookie. She looked at is suspiciously and took a small bite.

"ah!" Yugi smiled as she nibbled on the cookie.

"umm L- Kaoru?" She looked up at Yugi but didn't stop eating the cookie. "Where do you usually go when I'm not around?"

"go find you." Yugi sweat dropped. He took a big bite out of his cookie.

"Why?"

"They won't come if I'm around you." she finished her cookie and yawned.

"t-they?"

"yeah" she said sleepily. Yugi lead her upstairs and into his room. And with that she slept in his bed.

Who is "they"?
