Ok, so here's the next chapter.

I would just like to take this time to warn all of you out there that this chapter has ' love making ' in it, hence the M rating. I would also like to say sorry that it happened on a bathroom (bathing room) floor, like I told you, I was on holiday when I wrote this and while writing this chapter I had the radio on and the song It Wasn't Me by Shaggy was playing and as you may know, one of the lyrics says something about banging on the bathroom floor….

I blame Shaggy for putting the idea in my twisted head…

I would also like to make it quite clear that later chapters will get a little worse so if reading about people having sex isn't your thing, I will tell you when it starts and finishes so you can skip that part.

Me - ok, so I think I explained that ok

Yami - you just wanted everyone to know that you have a dirty mind

Me - I don't have a dirty mind, I regularly take it out and wash it

Yami - ~ sweat drops ~ that's not what I meant. V.V

Resurrection

Chapter 11

A warming nights breeze blew through every room and hall with in the palace, making the long satin drapes that hung from every window dance as the moons shimmering glows made every wall glisten under its light. The soft crackling sounds from the touches echoed along the still hallway, only a single person around to hear them.

Atem sighed heavily, slowly making his way towards the bathing room, hoping that the soothing water would relieve some of the tension with in every muscle, he also loved bathing at this hour since everyone else was asleep and he could just relax with out the weight of the crown resting upon his already strained shoulders.

Gripping a handful of dark red satin curtain that separated the room from the hall, Atem stopped, the soft and gentle sound of familiar singing echoed around the room, floating through his mind like a gentle lullaby.

A small but playful smirk appeared across his lightly tanned face as he pulled the fabric over to the side, stepping through the gap before letting the fabric fall, closing the room off once again from the hall outside.

Leaning back against the wall, Atem's playful smirk grew a little wider as Layla stepped out from the connecting room, her short blood red robe clung to every curve of her body as she brushed her long ebony black hair, unaware that anyone else was in the room.

The relationship between them had grown over the passed year, he had made her a princess of Egypt, wanting her to have the same respect everyone held for him.

Clearing his throat, Atem chuckled as a startled Layla jumped almost out of her skin, taking a sharp in take of breath before sighing as she smiled at her Pharaoh.

"You scared the hell out of me" she whispered, blushing brightly as she realised what she was wearing, which only made Atem chuckle a little louder.

Silence quickly fell between the two as Layla slowly made her way towards the dividing curtain, only to stop as a gentle hand took hold of her own, looking up into his crimson orbs, the hint of longing for her to stay held with in those beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked, concern held with in her soft voice as Atem cringed a little, his tightened muscles twitching with short bursts of pain as he looked at her.

"Muscle cramps"

Atem had always spoken to Layla as a equal, ever since they were children, even before he gave her a title, he just always viewed her better then that of a slave, smiling warmly as a memory of the both of them playing as children crossed his mind.

Layla's smile slowly turned into a playful smirk as she walked back into the centre of the room, pulling Atem with her as she gently pushed him down in to a sitting position on the floor, kneeing down behind him.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh, just relax" was all Layla whispered, her every word sent small tingling shivers down his spine as she gently used her finger tips to massacre every knot out of the muscles in his shoulders.

Atem couldn't help but let out a small, some what husky moan of relief as the pain slowly melted away under her gentle touch.

Resting her right hand upon his shoulder as her left began to trace soft circles along his back, sucking in a breath as Atem took hold of her hand upon his shoulder, pulling her around him so that she was now resting upon his out stretched legs, brushing a few strains of still damp hair from her face.

"Now how is this meant to help with your muscle cramps?" Layla smiled as Atem moved closer towards her, his forehead resting against her as he looked deeply into her piercing blue orbs.

"I can think of a better way"

They stayed that way for what seemed like an eternity before he closed the gap between them, gently pressing his lips on hers as she melted into the embrace, closing her eyes as a small shiver ran down her spine.

Running his tongue gently along her bottom lip, begging, pleading to her for entrance as she lightly moaned, allowing him to slip his tongue into her mouth, mapping out every inch of her moist cavern before the need for air began to take hold, breaking apart as they looked up into each others lust and love filled eyes.

Calming her soft lips once again, Atem moved, lying her down upon the stone floor underneath him as their tender kiss deepened, her hands gripping lightly into his hair as she pulled him closer, as if to close a gap that wasn't really there.

Pulling back for the need of air, Atem ran his left hand up the side of Layla's thigh, stopping at her hip to look at her. Layla only nodded at him, pulling him into another passionate kiss. They didn't need to speak any words to one another as they already knew the answer, they both desired what was to come, wanting to be calmed by the other, not out of lust but love for one another.

(A/N if you don't like reading about sex, skip this part! Everyone else, enjoy)

Untying the tie that held her semi see through robe together, Atem looked down at the now exposed girl beneath him before placing a row of gentle kisses and nips along the line of her neck, earning him a soft moan as she slowly began to remove his clothing.

Capturing her lips again in a deep love filled kiss, Layla gasped as she felt one of Atem's fingers enter her, slowly followed by a second, moaning and panting more loudly as he hit her sweet spot before a small whimper left her lips for the feeling of emptiness as Atem slowly removed his fingers from with in her.

Pressing a some what heated kiss upon her lips, Atem positioned himself at her entrance, pushing himself into her, stopping all movement once he was fully inside, a sharp gasp escaped her lips at the discomfort she was feeling, looking up at the concern held with in Atem's eyes at the sight of her pain, waiting of her to adjust to him.

Smiling softly at him, she moved her hips, letting him know that the pain she once felt was nothing more then jolts of pleasure running through every part of her body as he thrust into her.

Burying his head into the crock of her neck, sucking and biting lightly at the sensitive skin as his speed became faster and harder with every thrust, causing her body to arch up into him.

Digging her nails into the soft skin of his back as they both moaned out in pure ecstasy, wrapping her legs around his waist to draw him deeper into her as he trusted harder, her hips moving to match every movement, hitting the spot that turned her into a mass of heavy panting and moans as she screamed out his name.

(A/N ok people, its safe to read again)

Alex sat bolt right up with in the warm covers of her bed, eyes wide as a cold sweat ran down her back, shaking her head slightly as she sighed.

"Like I don't have enough on my mind, now I'm having damn sex dreams!" she laughed to herself, lying back down on her bed, starring blankly at the canopy that hung over her bed.

(A/N come on people, you can't tell me that you have never had a sex dream hehe)

~ you can't spend all day in bed Alex, you need to do some apologizing ~ she thought, mentally kicking her ass out of bed, glad that it was the school holidays as she headed towards the bathroom for a quick shower. After quickly drying herself, Alex walked out of her walk in wardrobe in a pair of dark blue hip sitting skinny jeans and a blank tank top that sat just above her navel, sighing heavily once again, today was going to be one hell of a long day.

Sitting down on the end of her bed, Alex pulled on a pair of black trainers, forgetting all about her thick black wrist bands as she headed downstairs.

"Dad?" Alex yelled, but the only answer she got was silence.

~ must already be at work ~ she shrugged, letting out another sigh as she headed out of the empty house, into the mornings sun.

"Yami, Yami wake up, Ishizu's sent you an e-mail"

Yami sat bolt right up in his bed, almost knocking a startled Yugi off the end as he quickly climbed out from under the warm covers, following Yugi out of the room, not really caring that he was still only wearing his black shorts and nothing else.

Yugi sat down in front of the computer housed in the left hand corner of the living room,, pulling up the e-mail on screen for Yami to read.

My Pharaoh, it is important that you meet with me, the fate of the world may depend on it. I have tried to piece together the puzzle but until she remembers who she truly is, the puzzle remains clouded. You must not allow the gate to be opened. Layla is the key.

Yami starred at the screen blankly for a moment, trying to work out why she couldn't just tell him what was going on. Rubbing the sides of his temples in frustration as he headed back up stairs to take a quick shower before getting dressed. Why did it always have to be that way with Ishizu? She couldn't just come out and tell him, she always had to make it into some kind of mystery for him to solve.

Yugi let out a long sigh as he turned off the computer, getting up from his seat and walking into the shop, leaning against the wall as he waited for Yami.

"What's wrong Yugi?" Solomon asked from behind the counter, raising a grey eyebrow at his grandson's annoyed face.

"Yami got an e-mail from Ishizu, it just bugs me that she just can't tell us out right, she always has to make it into some kind of puzzle for us to figure out, you would think if its as important as she says, she would just tell us" Yugi told him, his own annoyance and frustration hooked upon every word before sighing again as Yami came down the stairs.

"You two better get going, but let me know what's going on ok" was all Solomon said as the two of them headed out of the shop, not noticing the concern held with in the old mans eyes.

Silence fell between the two as they walked, the weight of the unknown hanging upon their shoulders as they walked. The loud roar of a siren echoed around them as a speeding police car passed the pair, going in the same direction as them.

"What's that all about?" Yugi raised an eyebrow, looking over at Yami.

"I don't know but I've got a bad feeling, we better hurry"

They both of them began to pick up their pace before breaking out into a sprint as they rounded the corner, stopping suddenly, wide eyed at the scene in front of them. The front of the museum was lined with police cars and officers trying to push the growing crowd of on lookers aside as two men in white overalls wheeled a long stretcher carrying a long black body bag into the back of an unmarked black van.

Yugi looked over at Yami for a moment, unsure of what reaction he should have to the scene playing out in front of them and it seemed that Yami was having the same difficulty.

The pair of them pushed through the endless sea of on lookers, only to be stopped by a well rounded officer.

"Sorry boys but the museum's closed" he stated flatly, looking at the both of them with blank eyes.

"We need to speak to Ishizu Ishtar, where is she?" Yami asked in a some what demanding tone that caused the officer to give a small shiver.

"Oh..erm I'm sorry to have to tell you boys but Miss Ishtar was…erm murdered" the officer said, stuttering slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable under Yami's ice cold glare as he tilted his head towards the unmarked van as it speeded quickly out of view.

The both of them just starred at the officer as if he had just slapped them across the face, watching him as he walked away back into the building crowd of on lookers.

"M..murdered" Yugi stuttered, unable to take in what the officer had told them.

"Damn it!" Yami snarled out, dropping his gaze to the ground but quickly snapping his head back up as something court his attention out the corner of his eye.

"What is it Yami?" Yugi questioned but got no answer from Yami as he pushed past him, sprinting off towards the dark ally way that was connected to the side of the museum.

"YAMI!"

Alex let out a long sigh, looking up at the game shop in front of her.

~ Suck it up Alex, you need to do this, you've been a bitch to them ~ giving herself a mental kick up the back side as she pulled open the door, a small tingling sound from the small bell above the door rang out as the old man behind the counter looked up at her with a bright smile.

"Can I help you?" he asked, smiling even brighter.

"I was looking for Yami and Yugi"

"Oh, you must be Alex, their not here at the moment but they shouldn't be to long, feel free to wait here for them" he smiled, moving around from the counter as he began to unpack different board games from a large cardboard box on top of the counter.

"Would you like a hand with that?" she asked, feeling uncomfortable watching the old man struggle to reach the top shelf, even with him standing on the top of a three run ladder as he nodded his thanks to her.

Alex quickly climbed the ladder, placing the handed board games upon the top shelf as Solomon smiled at her.

"I can see why he likes you"

"Excuse me?" Alex blinked, looking down at the old man with a raised eyebrow.

"Yami, I can see why he likes you"

Climbing down from the top of the ladder, Alex could feel her cheeks flush with colour as she suddenly found something very interesting to look at upon the floor as Solomon let out a small chuckle.

"I take it from that lovely colour across your face that you like him too?"

"I don't" she lied, looking back up at him, trying with all her might to stop the brightening blush to fade from her face, which only seemed to make the old man chuckle harder.

"I've been around the block a few times to know when two people like each other but don't worry, your secret is safe with me"

Sighing lightly, Alex sat down upon the top of the small ladder, looking down at the floor.

"I've been a bit off towards all of them, that's why I'm here, to apologize for pushing them away when they only wanted to help me"

"Sometimes we just need time alone to think, clear our minds but you do seem to have a heavy weight upon your shoulders, do you want to talk about it? I'm a great listener and sometimes I'm even good at giving advice"

Alex looked up at him, a warm smile upon her lips.

"I've had a crazy few months since I moved here and I was told some insane things that seem to have me doubting who I am" she told him, looking back down at the ground, surprised at how open she was being towards this man she had just met.

"Is that why your so guarded?"

"What do you mean?" she looked up, taken back by his question.

"My grandson Yugi says that you can sometimes become a bit guarded towards them"

"Its just how I am, it keeps me safe"

"Look, I can't tell you how to live your life but if you always keep a wall up between yourself and others, your life will feel very lonely, even with people around you, you have to learn to trust in people, you never know, they might surprise you"

"You know, you sound just like me dad" Alex laughed, looking back up at Solomon as his words of advice seemed to sink in.

"Do you fancy a cup of tea while you wait?"

Alex only nodded a reply as she followed Solomon into the back of the shop towards the kitchen.

"YAMI!" Yugi yelled after the fading figure of his twin as he raced after him, trying to catch up as he panted heavily for breath.

Stopping half way down the darkened ally, his body bent over, his hands resting upon his knees as he tried to catch his breath. Yugi looked up towards the end of the ally in front of him, hearing the muffled voices of Yami and another.

Walking slowly towards the light, Yugi could slowly make out Yami's back, his hands into fists by his sides as he came closer towards him, looking up at the blond haired teen in front of the both of them.

"Malik"

"Aw and right on cue, your other half turns up" Malik laughed, looking over at Yugi with a sadistic smirk that sent a ice cold chill down the little ones spine.

"What are you doing here Malik?" Yami snarled, his cold glare fixed upon the teen in front of him.

"Well if you didn't notice, my sister is dead and she didn't half scream, almost ear piercing really"

Yugi's soft violet eyes grew wide as a light went on in his head.

"Y…you k…killed h…her" he stuttered as Malik's smirk grew wider, taking a small bow at Yugi's comment.

"She should have learned to keep her mouth shut""You really are a cold hearted bastard" Yami snapped, his temper rising by the minute as he clenched his fists tighter, the knuckles on his hands turning white from the pressure.

"The only reason your pissed off dear high and mighty Pharaoh is because you have no clue what is going on, must be such a bitch to have all your memories, yet the ones about Layla are still clouded, you couldn't save her before and you can't save her now" Malik hissed, his every word laced with venom as something with in Yami snapped, laughing himself at the smirking blond, only to be held back by Yugi as Malik chuckled, turning away from the pair of them as he faded from view.

Yami struggled for a moment with in Yugi's grip, some what surprised that the smaller one could hold him back as he calmed himself down, Yugi finally letting go.

"What the hell did you hold me back for?" he snapped, shooting Yugi the coldest glare he could at his twin.

"What good would it do to beat him to a bloody pulp?"

Sighing, Yami softened his gaze towards Yugi as he felt something vibrate with in his black leather pants pocket. Pulling out his phone, Yami looked down at the screen.

~ I'm at the game shop, I really need to talk to you Alex ~

"What is it?"

"Its Alex, she's at the game shop" Yami told him, pushing his phone back into his pocket as they headed back towards home, unaware that a pair of bright red eyes were watching their every move.
