Yugi: Yugioh doesn't belong to lilbutterfly315. Enjoy and review.


The sun shone down, awaking me from my sleep. I was expecting Atemu to be in bed with me, apparently, not today. On the bed next to me was a note.

Yugi,

Sorry, I left for work a bit early. I called Ishtar and told her about your situation. She agreed to help out. It will be ready the day after tomorrow. I love you.

-Atemu

My heart sank. I should be a bit grateful that he didn't discover about Yami and I. The images from last night rushed in my head. I blushed. I should think of something to tell Atemu that I don't want to be with him in the past. There was a few in mind.

I headed downstairs to start breakfast for the morning. In my short notice, Yami was already there with some coffee in hand.

"Morning." I greeted.

"Morning." He greeted back.

I gave a quick glimpse at Yami. He appeared a bit stressed out. Maybe it was last night event that did it to him. It couldn't be. He was perfectly fine before, during, and after yesterday night. Did he get into a fight with Heba? I wanted to ask, but it wasn't any of my business. I resume to start cooking.

"I missed you." I didn't even notice that he got up or even him wrapping his around my waist.

I giggled at his attempt to sweep me of my feet. He pulled me closer into his embrace. I can feel my heart skip a beat.

"Yami, you're acting up." I giggled.

"I need some Yugi before I faint." He chuckled.

His embraces tighten a bit, but I was fine with it. He nuzzled on my neck. Earlier, he was stressed out, now he's completely romantic the next. Something must have happened.

"Yami, did something happened?"

I didn't get an immediate response as I hoped. I turned around to face him fully.

"Yami, what happened?"

He continued to remain silent. Yami kept his head down the whole time. The feeling I was getting wasn't as pleasant as I thought it would be.

"Heba, he…" He started.

Heba? How come he's involved? It couldn't be that he found out about us, did he?

"Heba heard us and threaten me if I keep this up, he will tell Atemu."

He heard us? How could something like this happen? What if Heba told Atemu already? That must be the real reason he left so early. This can't be happening!

"What are we going to do?" I was on the verge of crying.

"I don't know. Don't worry, I'll fix this." Somehow, that doesn't sound reassuring to me.

I may have relied on Yami, but it doesn't mean everything turns out as he plans all the time. Matthew and Scarlet was downstairs without us knowing. We were to caught up with our own problems to notice.

"Mom, is everything alright?" Matthew was getting suspicious.

"Nothing, nothing is wrong. Why?" I sound a bit shaky.

Everyone kept silent. Not a single word flew out of anyone's mouth. This didn't help me think of a way to keep Heba silent. I can feel a mental break down coming. I don't know what to do in this type of situation.

I heard the front door in the living room open and closing. I suspect it would be Atemu since he was the one that left earlier.

"Morning everyone. What's going on?" Atemu looked so clueless at this moment.

He looked at Matthew and Scarlet to see if he could get anything. He then looked at Yami and me. The clueless look he had a moment ago faded when he saw me in tears.

"Yugi, what happened?"

I rushed to Atemu. I embraced him as if my life counts on it. Yami remained where he was with his head still down. I knew that if I did this, Yami heart would be shattered. But what am I suppose to do? Atemu is my husband. Yami is nothing more than a friend at the moment. I'm sorry Yami.

"Atemu, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I couldn't hold back the tears that wanted to be free.

Atemu pulled me closer into the embrace. He was another victim in this. I never intended to hurt anyone feelings.

Heba was already downstairs from the commotion. I pulled away from Atemu and looked at Heba. Heba was standing on the stairs, glaring at me. I glared back at strong as he was.

"Yugi, can I speak with you in private?" That sounded like acid to me. It didn't feel welcoming to me either way. Heba headed upstairs and I followed. He led me to his and Yami's room. I didn't like the idea of Yami sleeping with another guy.

He opened the door to let me through and offer me a seat.

"Yami must have told that I heard you last night and threaten him."

"Yeah."

"Yugi, I have nothing against you. So, don't worry."

"When why? Why did you threaten Yami that you would tell Atemu?"

He snorted at me as if the answer was there in my face. I didn't take it as a good sign. Heba forgave once; he wouldn't hold a grudge since then did he?

"Yugi, you stole Atemu away from me. Now you stole Yami from me too." He paused.

"You stole the ones I love. How could you do this to me? If Atemu didn't meet you…"

"He what? Wouldn't love me? It was his choice!" I shouted.

"You must have done something to him to make him sleep with you."

"I did nothing. He was the one that wanted it. If I was able to stop him, I would have."

"Why didn't you? You knew Atemu was mine!"

I remained silent. It was true that I knew Atemu was his since the beginning. Guilt was running through me like a wildfire. But I did tried to stop Atemu, he didn't want to. He kept telling me that he loved me. I was so lonely, so lonely enough to not resist.

"Atemu was the one that said he loves me even though he was with you."

The sound of skin connecting to another echoed across the room. Heba slapped me. I didn't move or fought back. I deserved it. I deserved it for stealing the one he loved away from him.

"That's a lie!" He shouted at me.

I didn't say anything. I feared that if I did, it would worsen the situation. Tears dipped down my cheeks as I placed my hand on my swollen cheek.

"Why? Why would he say that to you when he hardly knew you back then!" I looked to see that Heba was in tears too.

"Now, you stole Yami from me as if he was your toy!"

"Yami is not a toy to me! I love him!" I gasped. I shouldn't have said that.

"You what?"

I couldn't tell him that I loved Yami. I knew if I did, Heba would be heart broken. But I had to. I can't lie to myself and run away from my feelings.

"Yami and I love each other more than anything. He always loved me since the beginning." I couldn't hide my feelings for Yami any longer. I love him. I have since the beginning till the end.

I received another slap. I could see the sadness and denial in Heba's eyes. To hear this must be painful when it was all true.

"Atemu was there when I couldn't forget Yami! He gave me the love that I needed!" I defended myself.

Another slap was my answer from him. Losing my balance, I fell flat to the ground. Heba didn't look good himself either. His cheeks were red and were on the verge of a break down.

"I gave up Atemu to you for his happiness and you used him as a replacement for Yami?" He screamed at me.

"I didn't mean to do that to him." I stood up from the ground.

"Atemu loves you and I forgave you because you could make him happy…" He started.

"And you run off betraying him with Yami, the one I love now! How could you?"

My heart sank. I never meant to betray Atemu. I cared for Atemu, but I don't feel the same as I do with Yami. Yami was the one I love, the one I want to be with, and the one I want to start a family with.

"If you love Atemu, then why don't you tell him?"

Heba stood there, completely still. I walked over to him when I heard a crashing sound downstairs. Heba and I ran down to see what was going on.

Atemu and Yami were a few distances away from each other. I saw a few bruises and bit of blood on both of their faces. I ran toward to Atemu, who was ready to hit again.

"Atemu, Yami! Stop!" I shouted.

They didn't bother to listen to me. Atemu pushed me away, resuming to fight with Yami. I continued to stop them with Heba.

"Both of you, stop it!" I cried out.

Atemu pushed me away and slapped me across the face. I fell to the ground.

"How could you, Yugi? I loved you and you run around sleeping with him!" He screamed at me.

Yami pushed Atemu aside to help me up. I embraced him in my arms. I looked at Atemu, who is not enjoying what he is seeing.

"I never meant to betray you like this Atemu! Please understand that!"

"Why? Yugi, do you know how much it hurts to find out you slept with someone else?"

I turned away from him, unable to look at him in the eyes. This was too much for me to handle. Why is this happening to me? I never intended for any of this to happen.

Suddenly, I felt a bit weak. I fainted right after that. The only thing I heard was Yami saying my name.

I woke up back to my old self. I got back home to my own time! I saw that Atemu was sleeping soundly beside me.

"Atemu." I called out to wake him up.

Stirring a bit, Atemu woke up. He smiled at me. I didn't in return.

"Atemu, I need to tell you something important."

The smile he had disappeared. He didn't like where this is going.

"Atemu, I love you, but Yami is the one I want to be with."

There was a moment of silence between Atemu and me. He turned away from me. After a few minutes, he faced me with a smile.

"I understand. But remember, I will always love you."

I smiled and gave Atemu a kiss. The final kiss we will ever share again. I left the room and headed to the living room to leave.

I looked at the house again. Atemu was standing next to a window, smiling at me. I wave to him. In response, he wave back.

I continue to walk forward to the hotel where Yami was staying.

Good-bye Atemu. I will always love you too.

Yami, I'm coming for you.
