It was a cold morning in the Dark Realm. Atemu stood on his balcony that overlooked the kingdom that he ruled, oh and him. He ruled with him, or he used to at least. It had been two weeks and Atemu hadn't heard a word from him. The daemon sighed in aggravation. He had lost most of his emotions to his depression and only had anger and sorrow left.
"Seth!" He yelled. His cousin walked in to the room.
"Find Yami and Yugi, things need to happen soon." Atemu growled and walked over to his bed and went back to bed.
"Yes cousin," Seth said and left the room to carry out the order. 'I hope you don't do something stupid over this misunderstanding. Things are already bad as it is here, and its getting colder by the day, I have to hurry.' Seth thought to himself and quickened his pace.
"Damn Yugi, I knew that small people were fast and full of energy, but that's fuckin' ridiculous." Bakura said head hung, and hands on his knees panting hard trying to catch his breath.
"It's the perks of being bullied your entire high school life." Yugi said and kneed him in the balls.
"Ah-f-fu-fuck. Owwwwwwww!" Bakura fell into a heap.
"Now hush and don't chase us again, if you reveal our plans for the greatest prank ever… Things will happen..." Yugi whispered in his ear and Bakura's face paled to deathly white. Yugi burst out laughing.
"Oh my god Bakura you should see your face, I can't even see your hair because of how pale you are!" Yugi fell over laughing, clutching his sides in pain. Once Yugi recovered he got up.
"I'm just kidding, you dork. I'm not gonna hurt you I just kneed you for chasing us, but seriously don't tell anyone, it's gonna be awesome!" Yugi explained and then walked into Isis's house to go see Yami.
"Yaaaaaammiiiiiiii!" Yugi screamed into his ear, effectively waking up the sleeping daemon. Yami jumped ten feet in the air, his wings sprouting up to cover him as a shield. Yugi and Marik held onto each other laughing yet again today.
"Oh god, I haven't laughed this much in a while!" Malik said leaning on Yugi.
"Same here!" Yugi laughed.
"I hate you both." Yami growled and laid back down. He refused to look at Yugi right now. Had he forgotten that he's the reason that Yami was laying there right now? The laughter died.
"Yami? Are you okay?" Yugi said sounding guilty now. No answer.
"Yami?" Still no reply. Yugi did something he knew Yami would answer to. He couldn't help what happened if he would've just let him leave on his own, none of this would have happened. Yugi straddled Yami's waist and he leaned down and laid his head on Yami's, hugging him close.
"Yugi get off me." Yami said.
"No not until we work things out. I'm sorry I attacked you. I couldn't go back to go the castle and stand looking at you two, it would break me down. You two deserve each other, I don't belong here, or anywhere for that matter. I don't believe I have a purpose, I think I'm just existing to take up space." Yugi said, tears filling his eyes as his head rested on Yami's. Yugi pulled the other ever so slightly closer as he began to silently cry. The daemon, of course, knew this.
"Yugi... Look at me." Yami said and his tail moved up to turn Yugi's head towards him. Malik had walked out the door, Akeifia had come to get him because Malik was needed for something.
"You do belong. You belong here with me and Atem. You have a purpose, you just don't know it yet. You are wanted, me and Atem…" That was all Yami got out before there was a bang as the door was forced opened as five soldiers entered, weapons drawn, as Seth walked into the door.
"Well, well. The Queen is in bed being sentimental with a runaway servant. Tsk, tsk, this is not good. You have the King in a mess because of your little… thing… going on here. I always knew that you would end up hurting my cousin, Queen." Seth said with a smirk of satisfaction. Yugi hopped off the bed and entered a defensive stance.
"Sorry, Yugi, but I'm taking you and the Queen back to the castle, willingly or not, I don't care. Just be warned that I can't ensure your safety if you decide to fight back." Seth said to Yugi's unwavering form. He sighed.
"Oh well, I guess it will have to end like this." Seth said and he hurled a shadowy blob at Yugi. "I can't say I didn't warn you, Yugi." He said as the blob collided with Yugi.
"I'm more powerful than you care to think, Seth!" Yugi spat. He stood straight and curled his fist as the soldiers swords were ripped from their hands and now floated around Yugi.
"So I hear that the dark doesn't like the light? No wonder, I don't like the dark." Yugi said and thrust his fist forward as the swords were shot towards Seth. He didn't have time to block as the swords shot through him.
"Don't worry. You wont die, you're just gonna be in a lot of pain." Yugi said and a bolt of light struck Seth as he sank to the floor, bleeding and unconscious. Isis melted out of the wall.
"I really wish you'd stop doing that." She complained. "How am I gonna get the blood out of my carpet?" She whined.
"I will buy you a new one, it would've been me Isis, and Seth is right, I would have died had I not fought back." Yugi said as he picked up Seth and utter a spell to stop the bleeding as he laid him next to Yami.
"Aprire." Yugi said and Yami felt himself fill with energy and he stood up. Isis's jaw dropped.
"It was a curse?" She said dumbfounded.
"Yeah, so what?" Yugi said moving Seth around to be in the bed while being restrained by Yugi's Binding Ropes of Light spell.
"Shouldn't you be tending to Lord Seth instead of wondering how I disguised a curse as a nervous system virus? Epidemic Spark is a dark spell, if you haven't noticed I'm more gifted in the light department." Yugi said, and he walked out to see Akeifia and Bakura, Yami following. Isis shook her head in amazement as she realized that he would be the one to single-handedly save Atem from his madness.
'Though, if he sent Seth to get them and said harmed or not, then he may already be too far gone.' Isis thought worriedly.
"My King, Seth's energy signal seems to have disappeared from the radar, we think he may have been defeated. A large surge of power that was reading as the light god Sefia's was found before Lord Seth disappeared." The council member of the search and recover department informed Atemu.
"WHAT?!"He roared as the room grew darker, the air thick as Atemu's power filled the room, the slaves in the room along with any passing by the Throne Room passed out.
"If Seth cannot handle capturing two now fugitives, then I guess I will have to do the job myself." Atem said getting up from the throne and walking towards the door.
"But my King…" The defense councilman started but it was too late. He slumped over the table as blood slowly seeped from his eyes and mouth.
"No one will tell me what to do."Atem said quietly as he left the room. What he hadn't noticed was the one "councilman" who was completely unaffected had got up and left as well. The "councilman" was Mariku and was leaving to warn his pack leader of the upcoming danger of Atemu's "visit."
"Why is Seth here?" Yugi said demandingly as he glared, annoyed, at Akeifia.
"Because he slipped through our guards and was already there before we could come and warn you." He replied.
"That's great and all but if I hadn't have been able to fight back as quickly, I wouldn't be here to be complaining to you." Yugi pointed out. Bakura sighed.
"You want something?" Bakura said bored.
"Seth is not to leave that room, Atemu is on his way here, I won't have Seth stepping in to stop me from whacking some sense and sanity into our dear friend.
"Very well." Bakura replied.
"Great, now I will leave you to what you were doing before." Yugi announced as he turned on one heel and walked out to start the journey to meet Atem halfway.
"You two haven't changed…" Yami murmured with a chuckle and left. They had walked in on Bakura and Akeifia going at it and Yami was laughing so hard, it was rivaling Malik and Yugi earlier that day.
A/N:
So there's that, the most likely to be longest chapter of this story. So everyone that wants to see more Atem…. The story as implied in the summary, is Yugi's letters retelling the events of what happened and is currently on the run from them. (Spoiler alert!) You will see how this is in a few chapters. How does Yugi know what went on at the castle? His friends from the wolf pack are running with him. You will also see who he is running from in a few chapters. Fallen you have anything you want to add?
Fallen: Let me just say, the delay in this upload it totally on me! I am SOSOSOSOSO SORRY for taking so long to Beta this! Life has been... hectic ^^U Though I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, either way :)
With those words to the wise, we end this chapter! See you next time everyone! (Magically inserts disclaimer in these parentheses [pretend that they are here.])
