Moriah: Thank you so much for the all the reviews last chapter! We are glad that you liked it.

Yugi: So what's going to happen in this chapter?

Moriah: *sighs* That question gets really tiring. But in this chapter, you will see Past Yugi and Atemu fight. And the reason why he turned evil. Maybe the readers will figure out how I got the idea.

Yugi: Where'd you get it from? And we know it's been a while since we updated this, so let's recap. Tristan just professed his love to Tea after she asked. Yugi and Atemu are still sleep, dreaming of their past memories. Malik and Marik have settled their argument. Bakura and Ryou are getting to know each other again and well Joey and Seto...well your find out.

Moriah: *smirks* You'll just have to read and find out. I don't own anything. Please review and enjoy! Here's a Valentine's Day gift from me to all of you, who are still reading this!


Chapter 19


A few seconds passed before Yugi was met with crimson eyes, a mocking smirk on his face.

"Oh so you came?" he asked, with a small laugh. "Well I already made you do that numerous times of course."

Yugi rolled his eyes, his eyes turning to the left to a statue holding a sword in between its hand which were together. He kicked it with enough force to separate the sword from the statue without hurting it, causing the sword to go in the air. Effortless, the smaller caught it before turning his attention to his former vampire, his eyes and posture indicating that he was ready to fight.

Atemu laughed at the scene. "I must admit that move was impressive but foolish of you to challenge me." he said, his eyes narrowing as a sword of his own, conjured in his hands.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, his eyes meeting the smaller's. "I taught you everything you know, remember? You are going to die."

Yugi has a sad smile on his face. "I am counting on that." he replied. "But not before I kill you first!" with that he thrusted at the vampire with the sword who easily dodged and swung his sword around with a thrust of his own, which the smaller easily parried. The blades then clashed several times before Yugi avoided a wide arching swing from the vampire. The two traded one thrust and parry after another. Atemu tried another arching swing from above which the smaller easily avoided and sidestepped out of the way. The two males faced off again in front of the statue and traded a few more blows.


In a room only illuminated by a candle, is a group of males, standing in front a table, where a male with white spiky hair is sitting, looking down at an old book. They were in Atemu and Yugi's chambers.

"Where's Amelia?" Tea asked.

"She's sleeping. Took me forever to get her to sleep. She kept asking where her Mom was. I had to tell her that she went out on a few errands. And would be back later." Ryou was always the one that tucked Amelia in. Only when he had meetings to go to did he ask him to do it.

"How sure are you that this is going to work, Bakura?"a male with brown hair and blue eyes asked. His usual cold exterior wasn't there. He wouldn't be able to handle if what Ryou said was going to be a lie.

"And if it is going to be completed in time?" another crucial question was asked by his blonde counterpart.

"I am fairly sure that this is going to work, Seto. And Joey, that is not really a question I can answer. But the faster we complete this, the more chance that it is done without any of them dying.

"So what do we have to do?" Tea asked.

"You don't have to do anything. I am doing most of the work. I just need for you guys to sway the essence around as I say the incantation."

They all nodded. It seemed easy enough.


Atemu tried to swing from above a third time, and again Yugi ducked and escaped to the side. He jumped up on a low table and swung at him once more. He moved and swung at his legs which caused him to jump up and over the other's blade and land on the floor. He tried for his legs again, but he blocked his attempt with his blade. Again they trade several swings. Atemu once again tried a wide swing, succeeding in giving him a superficial cut on the arm.

He smiles triumphantly at the other's distraction and takes advantage by coming at him with his sword held high, intending to swing from above but Yugi quickly drops to the floor and rolls out of the way, causing the sword to hit a bowl on the table behind him. Yugi kicks his legs out from under the vampire and scrambles back to his feet. The vampire turns to face the smaller, still on his knees and swings three times in rapid succession, all of which the younger dodges. The vampire swings a fourth time, but this time Yugi knocks his sword into the table when he dodges the swing causing it to be pinned.

Atemu backhand punches the younger in the face in response, causing him to cry out in pain and spin away. The vampire pulls the sword from the table and swings it hard at the younger. He blocks it with his own sword and kicks him in the gut, causing him to bend over. Yugi jumps over the vampire into the clear, and raises her sword to continue the fight. He thrusts his sword at him and he parries. Then he kicks him in her sword arm, causing him to stumble back a step.

The smell of incense is filled throughout the room, swaying with the flickering flame of the candle. The group is all looking at Bakura, who starts to chant in Latin.

"People from beyond, please hear my request." They heard. "I ask that you give back what needs to be replaced."

His hands started holding on to the table, as he spoke. "Give us what needs to be returned." His voice was wavering almost as if, he was feeling weak. Ryou moved from his position to help, but Seto grabbed his arm, preventing him, as he shook his head.

"Don't Ry. He'll be okay."

"How do you know?" his expression was filled with worry.

"Because he is strong and he'll get through this." With that the teen nodded, before looking back at his boyfriend.


The fight has moved out to the atrium, where Yugi hits the ground and scrambles back to his feet as Atemu slowly advances. He thrusts his sword at the vampire, who parries. He spins around and swings at him, which the vampire blocks. His sword bounces off of the vampires and falls with the tip onto the low wall of the planting bed.

Yugi tries to reach for it, but with a smirk, the vampire stomps on the blade before he is able to raise it again, knocking it out of the younger's grasp.

The vampire spins around and elbows the smaller in the face, knocking him back into a stone table, which collapses and falls with him.

Atemu advances on Yugi, playing with his sword, idly point it at the younger, who is backing up against the wall, with his sword. Yugi looks at his former beloved, frighten.

"This is everything, huh? No weapon, no friends, no hope."

Yugi closes his eyes and thinks about what the words that were said. No, he didn't have a weapon. No, his friends, weren't anywhere around, not would he want them to be at a time like this, no matter much he knew they wanted to be. And as of right now, he had no hope.

"With all that gone...what's left?" his tone was mocking, as he drew the sword back and thrusted it directly at the younger's face. With lightening fast reflezes, that surprised them both, he swings it up with both arms and catches the blade between the palms of his hands, his eyes open and amethyst meet dark crimson.

"Me." came the convicted reply, before he shoves the blade away from him, causing the hilt of the sword to hit the vampire in the face, who staggers back from the impact.

Yugi hopped to this feet and kicked the vampire in the chest, his impression looks more determined. The vampire stumbles back more. He takes this opportunity to pick up his sword. He swings it around and thrusts it at him, but the vampire manages to parry at the last minute. They exchange several blows, blocking each other. Yugi spins around and swings his sword down at him from above. Atemu holds up his own sword to block but the force of it causes him to fall on one knee. He swings again, but the vampire blocks it. He spins around with a roundhouse kick to his side, and he collapses to the ground.

Yugi kicks Atemu, casuing him to fly in through the door, hits the floor and rolls to a stop. Yugi leaps in and swings his sword at him, before he gets all the way back to his feet, but manages to parry hid blow before stepping back to get his footing. They exchange blows again, before Atemu misses a block and gets a cut on his hand.


Bakura is now panting, heavily, as he continues to say the incantation.

"Suppress... the side that... is not majority..desired." he could hardly get the words out. Suddeny, a burst of a light glowed over the vampire and this energy returned, his chanting became more powerful, faster.

"People from beyond, please hear my request. I ask that you give back what needs to be replaced. Suppress the side that is not majority the light side overpower what is dark. Now, before it is too late. Contain. Contain!" with that finale word said, the glowing light surrounding Bakura disappear and he slumped over the table, his energy gone.


The two males were back to where the fight had originally started. In front of the statue. They were trading blows and parries. Atemu thrusted his sword at the smaller before his dodge and quickly retaliated with a blow of his own, just as Atemu was thrusting this sword at him.

Atemu gasped loudly in that instant his eyes glowing red, before groaning as his eyes returned to their normal shade. Atemu and Yugi both gasps loudly, as they felt the other's sword pierce through them, both collapsing in each other's arms, the swords falling to the ground around them.

"Yugi,"he said, looking at the smaller in front of him. His eyes showed pain, confusion, and bewildered and he looked around the surroundings, noticing they were in the house they shared, before images of the past few months flashes before his eyes. He sobbed into the other's shoulder.

"Atemu," came the weak reply. "I-I" he could hardly speak. The seen in front of him was too much. It was one thing for him to die. But if he had just waited a second longer, he would have had his vampire back.

"It's okay, aibou." The vampire said weakly."You did what had to be done."They both fell to the floor, into a laying position. Yugi lying on Atemu's chest.

"I love you." Atemu said.

"I love you too."Yugi said. With the last of his strength, he shifted to press his lips against the vampires in one last kiss, before he slumped back down, his head back on the vampire chest, they're eyes both closing at the same time.

Minutes later, a group of teens teleported into the house. They had all received their letters before coming which meant that Yugi was dead. They weren't sure of Atemu.

Looking around, they gasped in heart breaking shock when they found their kings and best friends, lying in a pool of their own combined blood, in each other's arms. They all started crying.

After a few more minutes, without saying a word, Bakura picked up Yugi, while Seto picked up Atemu, and teleported back to the castle. The rest of the teens not too far behind.

The next day, they had a small funeral for the two. The whole country in grieving. Amelia stood by Ryou, as he placed a red rose on top of their coffin.

She cried as she silently said good bye to her parents, who were buried together.


In the middle of the night, four males teleported by a tree.

"What is this about, Seto?" Bakura said, looking around the circle they had made. Marik was standing to the left of Seto, who was standing to left of Bakura.

They all received messages from the brown haired teen to meet here. They had a feeling what it was about. Didn't mean they were happy about leaving bed with their loved ones.

"Do you think the lust will return?" was the question.

Marik and Bakura closed their eyes to relax their minds, before opening their eyes. They all nodded.

"I don't think it will be as intense but he is still new to it." Marik said, looking around. "We'll have to look after them."

Seto scoffed. "Don't we always?" The other chuckled at the response.

"Do you think they'll wake up soon?" Bakura asked, looking at Seto.

Seto sighed. "I don't know, 'Kura." he answered. "Maybe. I would imagine that after all this time, they would. Atleast one of them."

Marik shook his head. "You know one can't wake up without the other." Marik said, trying to make sure that they remembered that the two males in reference died together years ago. What made anyone think, they would wake up separately now?

Seto nodded. He had a point. What sense would it make to die together if they were going to wake up separately? They would have to wake up together for the memories to completely return.

"Do you think they'll get their memories back?" His eyes lingered to the house where all the others were sleeping peacefully.

"Sooner or later, yes; we did." Marik said.

"That only happened after we became vampires again." Seto instantly responded.

"We should get back inside." Bakura said, looking up towards the sky, seeing the small lights rising up. The sun would be rising soon. Which means so would the humans; and possibly the two males, who were still locked in their memories.

Without another word, the trio teleported back to the house, the sun was now high in the sky.


In the house, the sun shined through the bedroom where two males laid on the bed, in a position that would be familiar to anyone who had seen it before. As the sun directly hit them..

..crimson and amethyst eyes fluttered open…


Moriah: Yes! After working on this chapter for so long, I finally finished it.

Yugi: So what is going to happen now that Yami and I have our memories back?

Moriah: *thinks* You'll find out. I already know how I am going to start the next chapter. I hope you guys are tired of flashbacks. But since I didn't put the Joey x Seto scene in this chapter. I was going to next chapter.

Yugi: Can anyone guess where the fight scene came from? What popular tv series gave her the idea of turning Atemu evil? Anyone who gets it right gets a sneak peak of the next chapter of any story of their choosing.

Please review! Until the next time we update!
