Anupu was outside the palace the night after everyone had returned from Rome and he was just looking up at the stars. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him and he turned around to see that it was Nuru. "Oh… Nuru, don't scare me like that."
"I'm sorry, Prince Anupu. I just came out here to see if you are alright. After running into your sister like that a couple days ago and everything… especially like that. With the group she was with."
Anupu sighed. "Yes, that was rather disappointing… seeing as she didn't even remember me."
"I am sorry, Prince Anupu."
Anupu smiled and said, "You do not need to call me 'Prince' Anupu. Just Anupu." He said. "You and I are friends, Nuru, you know that."
"Know what?" Nuru asked. "Oh, that we are friends? Of course, I know that."
Anupu giggled. "No, that you do not need to call me prince."
'His laugh is so adorable.' Nuru thought. "But seriously, Anupu. You should be getting your sleep."
There was a pause for a minute or two before Anupu simply replied, "I am not tired." He turned his back towards Nuru as he said it.
Nuru sighed and went up to Anupu and placed his hands and Anupu's shoulders, lightly rubbing them. "Anupu, please. You need your rest. An enemy could attack at any time. You must be ready."
Anupu sighed and placed one of his hands on top of the one of Nuru's that was on his right shoulder. Then, he leaned against Nuru so that his head was placed over Nuru's heart, which he could hear beating, slowly.
"Well, well, well! Look what we got here!" Someone said and they broke away from each other and looked to see Jabari leaning up against an Obelisk. (A/N: No pun intended!)
"How do you keep popping in out of nowhere?!" Anupu asked.
"Seriously… that is a little creepy how you do that." Nuru added.
"I was here the whole time. You two were just too busy being wrapped up in each other that you did not notice." Jabari calmly said.
His statement made both Anupu and Nuru blush visibly, despite their dark skin.
"I knew it!" Jabari said.
"Knew what?" Anupu asked.
"I knew that you two were in love with each other!" Jabari said.
"What? We do not!" They both said at the same time, then looked at each other, then looked away again, blushing.
"Yes, you do. You cannot hide anything from the God of the Nile." Jabari stated.
"If we love each other, then you are in love with Azizi!" Anupu said.
There was silence.
"…Do you?" Anupu asked.
"I don't have a problem!" Jabari yelled. "So, I love my brother. So what?"
"So what?!" Anupu asked. "He's your brother! That's like me and Nuru loving each other!"
"Which you do!" Jabari said and started walking away. "I'll leave you two to confess now."
--
Nuru was inside Anupu's room as he watched his best friend walk back in forth, saying how much of an idiot and jerk Jabari was.
"I mean… what does he know anyway?!" Anupu said. "Just because he's the human form of Obelisk does not mean that he knows how we feel about each other! Besides… we do not love each other that way! I mean, how could we?!"
Nuru sighed.
"…Nuru? What's wrong?" Anupu asked.
Nuru stood up and walked in front of Anupu, then placed his hands on Anupu's shoulders. "Must we always be just friends? Are we capable of nothing else? Can we not… for just a moment or two… be something… more?" He asked as he placed a hand against Anupu's cheek.
Anupu swallowed hard as he looked into Nuru's deep, glittering, violet eyes. "W…what exactly are you trying to say? That… you wish to be something…" He swallowed hard again. "More?"
Nuru sighed and turned his back towards Anupu. "Nothing. Forget I even said anything. It's not a big deal."
"No, tell me." Anupu said as he placed a hand on Nuru's shoulder.
"Anupu…" Nuru whispered, then leaned down and kissed him. He broke the kiss a minute later and placed his forehead against Anupu's. "I love you, Anupu. Please… just do not hate me for my feelings."
"Nuru, I could never hate you." Anupu said and placed his hands on Nuru's shoulders. "And… I love you too." He whispered and placed a kiss to Nuru's lips.
Nuru gently purred in his throat in contentment and pushed Anupu down onto his bed.
They broke the kiss and Anupu whispered, "Nuru?"
"Yes, Anupu?"
"I love you." He whispered.
Nuru leaned down and whispered, "I love you too." Then, he connected his lips to Anupu's again.

Meanwhile, everyone else was in Victoria's room, which Mert-Re had graciously convinced the Pharaoh for her to use for a little while. They were talking and cracking jokes, just having a good time.
"Oh! You know what we should do?" Melody suddenly said. "We should do impressions of different people!"
"Oh, that sounds like fun." Sirena said. (A/N: I know I never added her before, but she's there, alright?)
"Exactly!" Melody said. "I call doing Mert-Re!"
"What?" Victoria asked. "You can't do Mert-Re."
"Why not?"
"Because she's the one who gave us this room, the one who's helping us out so much. She could probably kick us out just as easily."
"You're scared of who you're reincarnated from?" Melody asked. "That's weak! Come on! Who I'm reincarnated from is evil, and I'm not scared of her!"
"News flash!" Aster cut in. "You're dating someone who's evil!"
"…Good point." Melody said. "Come on, Tory! Please!"
"…Oh…oh… with the face and eyes, and the- grr! Alright! Just don't let her catch you!"
"I'm not gonna be going around doing it all the time. Just this once." Melody said, then cleared her throat and began her impression. "My name is Mert-Re. Oh, I'm so in love with the Pharaoh. Wait! I'm in love with Mahad! No, I love the Pharaoh. Wait! Now I love Mahad again! Now I love the Pharaoh, Mahad, the Pharaoh, Mahad!" She said, and then started laughing, along with everyone else except for Yami, Dark Magician, and Victoria. Melody soon stopped laughing though and slapped her hands over her mouth when she noticed Mert-Re was leaning against in the doorway. "M-M-Mert-R-Re!" Melody stuttered. "I-I didn't hear you come in."
Mert-Re just stared at her, blinking occasionally.
Melody bowed her head in shame and said, "I'm sorry. You can throw me out if you want to…"
"Relax. I am not mad." Mert-Re said. "I've realized what I've done and made up for it."
"You and Mahad made up?" Victoria asked.
"Yes. Did I not tell you?"
"No."
"Oh, yeah. I remember that now."
"Huh? How could remember?" Aster asked. "You're telling us that you remember because you were there in person? That's impossible, because that would make you… what? 5,000 years old?"
"Yes?" Dark Magician asked.
"Oh." Aster said in understanding.
"Well… looking good for someone your age." Sirena said.
Dark Magician slumped. "Yes… my age. You make me sound like an old geezer or something."
"Sorry, but… who are you then? …You know… besides Dark Magician?" Sirena asked.
"Well, if you haven't heard… I'm Mahad. …The soul of him anyway."
"Soul of him?" Sirena asked. "But if you're his soul… then does that mean he doesn't have a soul right now?"
Dark Magician was about to answer, but Jaden cut in.
"No, he does. Mahad is from now… which is the past. Dark Magician here, like all of us, is from the future. So, there's basically like two of them here right now." Jaden said, happily with a kitty-like smile on his face.
Everyone looked at Jaden, surprised as hell that he got the answer right. Especially since he barely knew what ten times ten was.
"Wow!" Victoria said.
"…I guess people really can shock you at times." Zane said. "Excuse now while I faint from surprise." He said, then fainted.
Syrus just stared at Zane's fainted form before saying, "I think I'll join you." He said and fainted. Ironically, his head fell onto Zane's chest.
"Syrus… you didn't really faint." Amanda said.
"Shh!" Syrus said quickly, and pretended to be out cold again.
Amanda sighed as she shook her head. "That boy will do anything to be close to Zane."
"Hey, come on, Ama!" Jazzmine said. "They're in love!"
"Well, you got me there!" Amanda said with a smile.

Later that night, Victoria was standing out on the balcony of the room, looking up at the stars. Dark Magician suddenly came out and walked over to her to stand next to her.
"Victoria?" Dark Magician asked.
"Yes?"
"I…I'm sorry."
"Sorry? What are you sorry for?"
"For getting mad at you… about… the whole kiss thing."
"Dark Magician…"
"Mahad."
"…Mahad. You had every right to get mad at me. I wasn't supposed to kiss him. I love you, and he loves Yugi. So, we should not have done that… at all. I'm the one who should be sorry, and I am."
"Victoria… I never told you about what I did in the past…"
"What are you talking about?"
"You aren't the only one who kissed someone they weren't supposed to."
"Huh? Who did you kiss?"
"…Same person."
"You and Yami kissed?!" Victoria yelled.
"Shh!" Dark Magician quickly said as he slapped his hands over Victoria's mouth. "You're gonna wake everyone up. You have to be quiet."
Victoria muffled something.
Dark Magician removed his hands and asked, "What?"
"I asked when that happened."
"It happened 5,000 years ago when I was still… you know… fully me."
"So, it wasn't you and Yami who kissed… but you and Atem?"
"It was a long time ago… and it only happened once."
"How…how far did you guys go?" Victoria asked.
"It was only a kiss, I swear." Dark Magician said.
"Tell me the story." Victoria said as she sat down on the balcony floor, cross-legged.
Dark Magician sat down in front of her the same way and began telling her the whole story. "Well, one night… a night a lot like tonight…"
--
Meanwhile, in the Pharaoh's room, Atem was looking through a spell book with Mahad standing next to him, helping him through it. Zahur was fast asleep on Atem's bed so they were trying to be quiet and let him sleep.
"What about this spell, Mahad?" Atem asked. "Is it a powerful one?"
"Well, yes. I suppose so, but remember what I always tell you."
"I know, I know. It's better to be wise, than to be powerful, but you gotta have some power, am I right?" Atem explained.
"I guess so." Mahad said.
"Can you teach me how to do it?"
"Sure, but we'll have to leave the room because it could get a little loud and I don't want to wake up Zahur."
"Good idea." Atem said. Then, he followed Mahad from his room into the training room.
"Alright. Now, Pharaoh… focus all your energy into your hands." Mahad said after he finished setting up a target.
"My hands?"
"Yes. This spell lets you harness and control fire. You have to control it with your hands." Mahad said.
"Alright." Atem said and closed his eyes, focusing all his energy into his hands. He started to mumble the spell and the fire started to appear in the palm of his hands. "Fire's power and fire's might… protect me every day and night!" Atem chanted and held his hands out to his sides and the fire created a circle around him. Then, the fire spread out in all directions.
"Ah!" Mahad screamed as he held his hands out to protect him, and the fire burned his hands. The fire went out and he kneeled down, clutching his hands to himself.
Atem gasped. "Mahad!" He cried and ran over to him. He kneeled down in front of his priest and said, "Mahad, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! I did not want to hurt you!"
"It's alright, Pharaoh. I know it was an accident." He said, but still could not get rid of the pain.
"Let me heal you! I know a good water healing spell!" Atem said, then stood up and went out into the hallway. He saw one of his servants and called him over.
"What is it, your highness?" The servant asked.
"Get some pure water! And fast!" Atem ordered. "That's an order!"
"Yes, your majesty!" The servant said and quickly ran off to get the Pharaoh what he wanted. He came back just a minute later with a bucket full of water. "Here you go, your highness!" He said. "Straight from the Nile! As pure as water can be!"
"Thank you!" Atem said and took the bucket of water, then tossed something to the servant. It was a small pouch full of gold coins. "Take it. You earned it." Atem said, and went back into the training room with the bucket of water. He ran over to Mahad and kneeled down in front of him again. "Put your hands out."
Mahad placed his hands out in front of him, showing just how badly his hands were burned.
"Now hold still." Atem said. He gently dipped his hands fully in the water, then took them out and placed them on top of Mahad's. He then chanted, "Dispell the agony, let these wounds heal. Banish the suffering, no suffering to feel."
Mahad flinched as he felt his hands sting for a minute before they felt a lot better. He watched as Atem removed his hands from his and was a little shocked. There was no longer a single scratch on his hands. "Where did you learn that?"
"Mert-Re taught me. She's quite a spell caster."
"Yes. Quite." Mahad agreed. Suddenly, he took Atem's hands into his own.
"Huh? Mahad?"
"Thank you, Pharaoh. I am truly in your debt."
"No. You do not owe me anything, Mahad." Atem reassured him. "I did it because I do not want to see you hurt. It makes me sad."
"Thank you for your concern about me, Pharaoh. It means a lot to me."
"Sure… anytime."
They didn't even notice that they were leaning in closer to each other. Finally, their lips met in a small, chaste kiss. They stayed in the kiss for a moment or two before they finally broke away.
"Um… was that weird?" Atem asked.
"Well, it wasn't horrible… or even bad really."
--
Back on the balcony, Dark Magician had just gotten done telling his story.
"And that's what happened."
"Hm… so he heals you, and you two suddenly kiss and don't really care all that much?" Victoria asked.
"Well… yeah, I guess so. You make it sound like it was just out of nowhere, but yeah. That's what happened."
"Well, you wanna know what I think about that?"
"What?" Dark Magician asked, sounding a bit nervous.
"I think that…" Victoria paused to build up the suspense. She suddenly gained a kitty face and glittery eyes, which made her look like a chibby. "I think that is so cute!"
--
Up on the cliff overlooking the city, sat Nefertari. She was looking at the city with a sort of hatred in her eyes. Why did she hate the city so much? Well, some people say that Bakura was the one who created those feelings in her. He persuaded her that the Pharaoh and everyone who liked him were the bad ones. She was becoming so bad that her powerful spirit monster was turning into an evil demon, much like Bakura's had. Her spirit monster was powerful alright. It was called the Nine-tailed demon fox. (A/N: Yes, I got that from Naruto!) Both their monsters were evil indeed, but combined together; they could create something even more terrible and disastrous. (A/N: Okay, I'm gonna stop. I'm giving myself chills!)
Kakra suddenly came up and sat down next to her. "What are you looking at?"
"I'm silently vowing revenge on the Pharaoh and everyone who likes him for the murder of Bakura's people and family."
"Nefertari… do you ever think that Bakura is just using you?"
"No. Why would he do that?"
"You know he can see people's spirit monsters. What if he just saw yours and thought 'wow, I could really use her to help take over the world'? I mean… I'm just worried about you, Nefertari. He really could be just using you."
"That's impossible. Bakura chose me because he loves me."
"No! He chose you because you were the person with the strongest spirit monster, yet he knew he could still persuade you to join him!" Kakra said as she stood up, trying desperately to knock some sense into her best friend.
"You're wrong!" Nefertari said as she stood up also. "Bakura loves me, and he wanted to help me! That's why he chose me over everyone else!"
"Nefertari, pull yourself together!" Kakra yelled as she placed her hands on Nefertari's shoulders. "You're so blinded by fake love that you cannot see what's right in front of you! People who truly care about you!"
"You do not know Bakura like I do!" Nefertari yelled, and then pushed Kakra away to run off and find Bakura.
--
In Bakura's room, Bakura was sitting on his bed. Suddenly, he heard the curtain/cloth that blocked his doorway swing open and he turned just in time to feel Nefertari hug him. The force of her body colliding with his pushed him against the wall.
"Nefertari! What are you doing?" Bakura asked.
"Say it is not true, Bakura!"
"What's not true?"
Nefertari pulled back so that Bakura could see the tears that were spilling from her eyes and down her face. "Say it isn't true that you are using me!"
"What? Who told you that? I'll kill them!"
"…It was Kakra."
Bakura growled and stomped outside. "Kakra!" He yelled.
Kakra walked up to him and glared. "What?!"
Bakura pushed Kakra into the ground and held her there. "Why the hell did you tell Nefertari that I'm using her, you ungrateful wench!"
"She… deserves better than you! She… deserves someone who can truly love her!" Kakra yelled. "Not someone who's just using her for their own personal gain!"
"I do love her!" Bakura yelled. "She's probably the only one I truly do love! Don't you dare go around telling her how I feel about her again! You understand me?! Otherwise, I'll do much worse!" He yelled, then got up and went back into his room, which was also his house. He sat on the bed and looked at Nefertari who was looking at herself in the mirror.
Nefertari sighed. She couldn't help but feeling sorry for Kakra. With Bakura's strength and cold heart, he could have just as easily killed her, and it would've been all her fault.
"Nefertari?" Bakura asked, and she simply looked at him. "Come here." He said as he patted the spot on his bed next to him.
Nefertari nodded and sat down on the bed next to him.
Bakura scooted closer and placed his hand on her knee as he started sucking on her neck. "I do love you, Nefertari. Never forget that." He said, then pushed her back on the bed and climbed on top of her. He kissed her and practically forced his tongue into her mouth. 'Just a few more times of doing this, and our souls can link as one. Then, our soul monsters can combine and we'll be able to wipe out any fools who get in our way! We'll rule the world together!'
YGO – YGO
Wow! I surprise myself sometimes! I get inspiration for this story from watching YouTube videos! Isn't that just the strangest thing? Anyway… yes, my past life is evil! I already got ideas for my sequel involving Nefertari! …Oops. Oh well! Yes, there will be a sequel! I just gotta finish this story first!
I know, Bakura is a little out of character, and I am sorry!
Oh, and for those of you who aren't really into it… I'm sorry about the Mahad x Atem part, but like I said… they can be cute together!
