T.D.K- -cries so hard she can't say anything-

Atem- Oh, boy. Here we go again.

Yugi- She doesn't own anything but Megan and Name.

T.D.K- -wails mournfully-

Atem- The translation of that is so many sorrys that I don't have the breath or the time to reapeat them.


Yugi was dreaming, he knew that much. It didn't feel entirely like a dream, but he liked the floating. He floated over Marik's jeep, lowering to see inside it. Megan was out cold; nothing touched her dreaming mind.

Atem was curled up around her, tear trails marking his face. His eyes alert, but tired. Something bad had happened to them. The teen reached out toward his lover, wanting to comfort him somehow.

"Yugi." He whispered, as his hand caressed his face. "Yugi, we almost lost her. The part of her that's part divine almost took her over."

"How do you know I'm here?"

"Whenever we were apart, you'd come to me while you were dreaming. Look at her, Light Prince. She's grown so big. Megan had just turned ten, yet here she is, a beautiful young woman."

"Atem, you need to sleep, Lover." Yugi gave him a kiss on the cheek. The former Pharaoh streched out, relaxed, and was out in a few minutes. Yugi's dreamself sat watch over both until sunrise.


Yugi held Atem's book in his hands as he read it. He was amazed by how accurate it was. The book gave him info on his lover that he had never known. He flipped the page and stared at a painting of a carving.

He knew the carving from his pastlife. The pyramid of time greeted him with his own face along with Atem's and Megan's. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. That was why they never let Name near the Seer's temple.

A knock on the front door broke his thoughts. Yugi lept off his bed and was on the landing when his grandpa opened the door. Tea walked into the house. He crept back into his room, hiding in his closet. He spotted Name before shutting the door. The teen hoped with his whole heart she was flying back to warn the missing trio.

His door burst open. He flinched, remembering the years of bullying that he'd endured before Megan had stepped into his life. She had stopped the bullies. She made them scared of her. Would Megan rush through his door at the last minute? Would Atem be behind her? Would they even get here in time?

Yugi barely breathed in an attempt to keep quiet. If Tea believed he wasn't here, then she'd leave his grandpa and their house alone, right? Yugi didn't even move. He didn't know if Tea was still in his room. His legs started to tense and hurt. If he didn't move soon, his legs would cramp soon.

He strained his ears, listening. No steps, no nothing. He cracked the door and looked out. No one was there in his room. He got up, and peaked out his door. She was still in his house. Yugi went to his window. He tugged at the ivy growing and climbing up that side. It was strong.

"I'm making Atem tell me how he turns into sand and how he got up to my window." He muttered as he climbed down. Yugi ran off to the only other safe haven he knew: the museum.


Megan bolted up in the backseat. She'd been into a three or four day hibernation. Atem whipped around to her.

"Yugi's in trouble. Tea found out where we live. She's there waiting for him. He snuck out of his window, he'll be waiting for us at Marik's. His sister took him there after he showed up on the front step of the museum." She laid back down, staring at Atem.

"Can Name tell him we're on our way and that he isn't to leave until I've got him safe in my arms?" She nodded. Since her half divine side had taken over, Megan had been even more tired then when they'd started out. Needless to say, Atem was scared shitless by this fact.

"You look tired pharaoh. Maybe you, Yugi, and Megan should leave the country? My tribe can hide you any where in the world you want. Just say the word and we'll smuggle you out of the country."

"Thanks, Marik. If I give the word, it'll be to get my daughter and my lover out. I won't make it if I lose them both. I'd kill myself again. Can you go ahead and make arrangements to get them to Japan? Yugi's grandpa too?"

"As you wish, my pharaoh."


Marik- holds note- Atem and Yugi have taken Tyrant to see Heero because he knows where the cusioned and soundproofed room is. Any way, she would like you lovely reviewers to know how sorry she is for making you wait so long. Also that Demonic may not be updated for a while. She's got writer's block on that one.

So review and if you feel like getting on Tyrant for her lateness, feel free to do so. P.S. She would like you all to know she loves you and wishes you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
