Unknown Worlds

A young boy yawned softly as he managed the counter of the small family game shop for his grandfather. He was in the store room searching of the latest package that was supposed to be out for sale that day. It was a typical Saturday morning, the young teen helping out his grandfather with the shop since he didn't have much else to do during the day. "Yugi, do you happen to know where that package has gone to? The youth shrugged. "You might've put it in the basement again." he replied.

"Could have. Mind going down there and see for me. I need to restock these boxes." Yugi nodded as he stood and made his way over to the door leading down into the basement, not prepared for the shock that was lying in wait down there for him.

Outside, a shady figure scurried about, looking around frantically as if knowing something was out chasing after it. It wore a trench coat and concealing something that seemed to be of value to it. "There he is!" A voice cried and the person gasped before running off with two people chasing after it. Luckily for the figure, it was able to lose them as it ducked into the alley leading to the Game Shop and the people ran past it. The figure gave a sigh before walking along the alley and looked to the small game store that was there then down to the window that led into the basement. Knowing that it won't be long before the person was capture, it had to do something with its load. With a sigh, it opened the window and slipped the two items it held down into the basement of the store.

'Grow and become strong but for your sake, stay within the shelter of this facility.' The person thought before running off, a spot of black slime resting beside the window.

Yugi turned on the light in the basement and looked around for a moment before spotting the box his grandfather was looking for. He picked it up before seeing something dark underneath the window. Stepping over to see what it could be, he only saw the lumpy mass tht made him think otherwise. "Eww. Must be mold or mildew. Guess I'll clean it up later." he murmured as he grabbed the box and headed back upstairs. When the light was cut off did the phenomenon of the mass start, the thing pulsating lightly as it started to grow slowly within the damp darkness of the basement.

A hand slammed onto the desk, making the two people standing before it flinch. "You two incompetent fools! Do you know what could possibly been unleashed out there since you let that alien get away with it?!" The person hissed. "No. Not really. What's the danger of some alien escaping with two egg pods?" The white-blond male questioned. Their boss sighed in exasperation. "You fool! If those things hatch, it could mean the end of the city! Those egg pods contain a dangerous species with a great amount of power! In the wrong hands, this world could be destroyed!"

"Really? Then should we go find that alien?" The boss sighed and shook his head. "It's probably long gone by now but if it really did have plans for the city, it would leave those pods somewhere where no human could find them. I want you and your partner to go out and pose as exterminators and check every house, every apartment, and every condo for those pods. When you do, bring them back here so they can be properly disposed." The two nodded and left the office before the white haired male gave a groan. "I really hate that guy! He gets on us every time we either lose something of great importance or some important alien with important information escapes off the face of the planet!" he grumbled. His partner patted his shoulder lightly. "Don't worry, Bakura. We'll find these pods and maybe for once, the boss will get off our back about this since we finally did something successful." Bakura gave a nod, letting out a sigh. "Let's go, Marik. We have a huge city to comb through for some tiny alien pods."

A few days went by and Yugi was getting a bit frustrated. He knew he shouldn't be but wasting money on cleaner for mold and mildew was too much. He gotten a small bottle since the mold was small but when he went down to clean it, it expanded a little over the wall. So he returned the bottle for a bigger amount and was met with the same result the next day. 'There's no way mildew grows that rapidly. Or should be that slimy.' Yugi thought as he sat in class that Monday. The pods within his basement continue to grow before a growl passed through the outer membrane, a claw emerging from it before the creature within clawed its way out of it, dark eyes surveying its location before climbing out, devouring the pod afterward for temporary sustenance.

Another emerged from the other, doing the same before giving a soft grunt to its partner. The first spoke softly in native tongue before the two found another place to rest themselves until they think of what to do next. "Hey, Bakura, get a look at this." Marik called as he stood beside the window to the basement of the shop. Bakura walked over, looking down and saw the black slime left there where the alien slipped the pods into the basement. "Guess we know where they are. And lucky since it's the first area we checked around instead of wasting weeks with other places. Let's hurry and get them." he spoke. Marik nodded as he followed behind Bakura as the two walked to the front and through the door. Sugoroku looked up and greeted them. "Hello there. We're bug exterminators doing a routine check of all homes for any harmful insects. May we check around?"

"Sure. That would be quite a nice thing to have done." They nodded and started for the basement and headed down there. Yugi entered inside a few minutes later, greeting his grandfather as he walked into the kitchen, placing his bag on the table. He heard sounds from the basement and asked about it. "Oh, it's just some exterminators checking around the basement to make sure we don't have any infestations."

"Ah, ok. Even though the only infestation we've had is that growing mildew." Yugi murmured, pouring himself a glass of milk.

Turning on the light, Bakura looked around for any sign of the pod but saw nothing there. "Damn. They have to be here somewhere. The alien had to have dropped them in here."

"You don't think they hatched, do you?"

'If they did, we're in deep shit, that's for sure." Bakura muttered before telling Malik to search the entire basement. He did so, Bakura looking in another area, soon coming across two black masses within a darkened corner beside the stairs. "I think I found them." Marik called, turning to Bakura. The other came over and looked into the corner as well and indeed, the two creatures of great power rested there. "Now what should we do?" Marik asked. "Well, we can't bloody drag them out in broad daylight or past that old man upstairs. I don't think he's senile enough to think that two creatures from outer space are insects." Bakura hissed, backing up to think for a moment. Marik watched the creatures for a moment before he was met with a crimson glare and jumped back, tugging on Bakura's uniform and trying to get his attention.

"Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba..."

"Damn it, Marik, what is it?" he grumbled, shoving him away. Marik still tried to get his attention, stuttering out of fright before a growl stopped him, causing Bakura to look up and see the creature was awake. "Oh...fuck..." he mumbled. The creature hissed angrily, speaking in an unknown language before the gem upon its head glowed brightly and they both squawked in surprise as the light engulfed them. Yugi jumped from where he was sitting when he heard the scream before laughing lightly to himself. "Guess professionals are still scared of a little roach." he murmured as he continued to do his homework. After another hour, Yugi decided to check to see what was taking the exterminators so long to finish up downstairs. The lights were still on but there was no sign of the two men anywhere.

"They couldn't have left or else I would've saw them." he wondered as he looked around. He suddenly saw something dark moving in the shadows behind the stairs and started getting a bit scared. 'Now I know that isn't a bug...' Piercing dark eyes looked to him and he jumped back when those demonic eyes focused on him. Soon, the thing hiding in the shadows started walking out towards him and he stepped back. "Whatever you are…stay back." he whispered but the creature didn't listen as it finally stepped into the light and Yugi took a good look at it. It looked human in appearance but there were many things different about it, especially with what kind of limbs it had. The only human thing about the creature was its face and torso but that was all for everything else was reptilian. Its arms and legs were covered with a thick grey hide, white bands wrapping around the upper arms and just below the heel of its talons. It had hand like paws but each finger ended with a wicked looking claw and sharp fangs peeked out from its upper and lower lip. A curtain of dark hair tipped with red cascaded down it back and over its shoulders and the last detail of the creature was the long, whip-like tail that swayed behind it.

Yugi heard a click emerge from the creature, eyes fixated on the smaller teen. "Just stay back..." Yugi whispered as his back met with the wall. The creature still came towards him before stopping just inches before him, a claw resting on the wall beside him. Yugi flinched, looking at the creature before him as its other claw rested on his other side, preventing his escape. The second creature emerged from the shadows, looking at its sibling from afar. A few clicks and growls came from the second, getting a soft grunt in response. Yugi watched the one holding him in worry as it looked to the other that ventured closer and closer. The two spoke in their animalistic manner before the first turned to Yugi, clicking softly as if asking if he would become harmful to the two.

"I...I can't understand you..." Yugi whispered, his fear overriding all five senses as the creatures spoke. The creature slowly tilted it head, raising a claw to touch Yugi's face lightly. "Gildak amlasa awee..." Yugi whimpered in fright before feeling relieved when the creature backed away. He only had one shot and when the creature looked as if it was speaking to the other once again, he bolted up the stairs, shutting and placing the bolt in before taking a deep breath. 'What were those things and how did they get into our basement?' he wondered.

Bakura gave a groan, sitting up and rubbing his head before nudging Marik who lied down beside him. "Wake up!" Marik moaned lightly before sitting up as well. "What happened?" he asked. Bakura looked around, seeing they were only a few feet away from the MIB headquarters. "Well, looks like we know what they're capable of. Now we just have to get them."

"But how?"

"We might have something. Let's go see cause the sooner we get them, the sooner we can keep that old man and his grandson from finding out about them." Too bad Bakura's thoughts won't follow through so well.

As the week went by, nothing felt normal to Yugi now. With two creatures living in his basement, he can't seem to get his original life back on track. 'But how did they get there? Surely those exterminators couldn't have left them there or else we would've seen them. They surely can't fit through that tiny window into the basement either.' Yugi's mind pondered over such for the rest of the day, not knowing of the heart attack that awaited him at home. "Jii-chan, taidama!" he called but wasn't given an answer. "Jii-chan?" he called again as he looked around for the elderly man. He took a double take at the basement door, seeing that the bolt was removed and prayed that his grandfather wasn't attacked by the creatures. But he was in for more of a shock when he entered the kitchen. His grandfather was there but aged plum eyes were dull and listless, the man not moving one inch no matter how many times his grandson called to him. "Jii-chan! What's wrong?! Please, answer me!" Yugi cried, shaking the elder male lightly.

A soft click responded to him and Yugi turned to look behind him fearfully, seeing the creature that approached him the first time standing at the door of the kitchen. The other emerged from the other side, a piece of raw meat in his jaws that it scrounged from the refrigerator, surprisingly not wrecking the machinery in its search for the food. Still afraid, he stood his ground regardless and made his demands. "Please, wake him up!" A hiss was his reply. "Please…what are you creatures?" Yugi begged, moving away a bit from the first that starting walking towards him. The creature made a guttural sound, licking lightly at one of its protruding fangs. Yugi whimpered, thinking that it meant the creatures were about to eat him and was ready try another attempt to bolt before he was captured. The boy didn't end up lucky this time for he was caught between the two at a closer proximity.

The other chittered, crimson eyes looking to the other creature as it devoured the meat it held. The first seemed to be pondering before getting a thought. Making a growl in reply, it looked down to Yugi. "Mhi antwy iwit." It looked to the other and nodded, turning the trapped boy to gaze into the other's eyes. The creature's eyes were hypnotizing, the shade of crimson seeming to change with each passing second. The gem upon its head glowed softly, entrancing Yugi's gaze to it. "sDr, akhu, sDr n nqdd..." it whispered and Yugi started to sway on his feet, trapped by the spell. Amethyst eyes started to close as Yugi fell into the embrace of sleep. "Nfr akhu, nfr Xrd antyw akhu, nqdd..." The small boy fell into its arms and the first smiled, chirping in gratitude and the second gave a snort.

"Alright. Have everything we need?" Bakura questioned as the sleek black 2006 Volkswagen Phaeton rolled up to a stop in front of the Game Shop. "Yep. All weaponry, although I still don't know why I get the Noisy Cricket..." Marik mumbled. "Nets, silicone ropes, refraction shields for their transportation abilities and other in case all else fails." Bakura nodded and swept his hair back. "Let get those aliens." Upstairs, Yugi was placed into his grandfather's bed, seeing as it was considerably larger and the beast wanted to give him the best comfort that his small home contained until they could find better which the other was doing right now, gem glowing a soft green as he tried locating the perfect living area for them as well as their newly found mate. "Nfr mry. Ntk nt wi...ntk nt wi..." The first whispered, running a clawed hand through the soft locks.

The second gave a short growl and a side glance as he hissed that the boy wasn't only his only for the first to refute him and snarled and they had to find a new nest before the suits came back. Ears twitching, the other alien gave a huff before nodding as he went back to searching before his head shot up, a growl coming from him once more. The gem upon his head glow a blazing red as he gave an angry howl as their nest was invaded. The beast snarled angrily as he stood from the bed. He touched a claw to Yugi's head and closed his eyes until he gained what he needed and sent the same knowledge to his sibling. "We must protect the home, Aqua. The boy is ours and we won't leave him. While we live upon this world, by our side is where he shall remain."

Locked and loaded, Bakura and Marik entered the shop, looking around and seeing no one managing the shop, they knew something was up. Heading into the living area, their answers were confirmed by the still absentminded elder and the basement door open. "They're here somewhere and most likely, the boy has seen them if they haven't escaped from here." Bakura whispered as he ordered Marik to check around the kitchen and basement just in case while he started heading for the stairs to the second floor. A shadow clung to the ceiling, dark cerise narrowed as they changed into a blood red and followed Bakura while the other started after Marik. Bakura was silent in his movement as to not surprise the unwanted inhabitants of the house, keeping a close eye out for any sign of them. 'They're around here somewhere and hopefully, they aren't flesh eaters.' The beast hissed darkly, the second floor now his territory and he wasn't planning for Bakura to get any closer to his allocated den. With a snarl, he leapt down from his spot, tackling the other male down and lifted him with one hand, tossing him into the nearest wall. "Stay away! He is mine! BiAw!" he snarled. Bakura was sore already from the forceful attack but stood, holding his gun at the ready.

"Really? And just who is yours?"

"The boy that we have met. He is mine!"

"You can't own a human's life!"

"I do now!"

"Well, my little friend here says otherwise!" Bakura growled, aiming the gun at the beast and shot, tearing up the hall with the blast but never hit the intended target for he used his unmatched speed to crawl across the walls and towards Bakura at blinding speed, raising a claw to slash at him but Bakura just barely dodged but cursed up a storm as his uniform was ripped. "Damn you! If I make it out of this alive, I'm going to get demerits for ruining another suit!" He readied for another shot, the other brandishing his claws for another attack.

Marik looked about the basement quietly, the tiny insignificant weapon held tightly in his hands as he looked around for any sign of the creatures. "Come on out, now. If you come out, we can send you back to your proper homes and not this excuse for shelter." Marik offered. Aqua watched from the shadows, angered but such an offer. 'We won't leave. We have found a mate to love and cherish here. Our galaxy has nothing but fools to choose from compared to here. We have come too far to lose what we gained.' The gem started to glow blue and Aqua prepared to exhale an icy blast at Marik's back. Marik was still unaware of that fact until he felt the room drop a few degrees and ducked out the way just in time to avoid the blast. "Leave here now!" Aqua hissed. "Ah, so you learned our language. Guess those abilities of yours are being unearthed. Better take care of you so you and your little friend can get back to your own galaxy."

"Never!" Aqua shot another ice blast at Marik just as he shot the Noisy Cricket, flying back from the resounding blast but Aqua moved out the way just in time to avoid it. 'Who-hoo-hoo, Bakura I need to thank you after this.' Marik thought as he stood and started looking for the other.

"So, why do we have to worry about these things again?" Marik questioned. "Because, these aliens are a race that can adapt to anything around them. They know just about everything of their own history even while they're in pods. Usually there's always one that can't find a suitable mate upon their own planet so once they're old enough, they'll travel to another galaxy to try and find one. But there are many others that'll try and capture a pod and bring them to their own galaxy to raise and bring them up for destruction. That alien you were chasing is famous for nearly causing the destruction of the world using a creature from that planet but we were able to stop him. He got away and looks like he's trying again with double the power."

"So, how are we supposed to stop them?"

"It's going to be tricky. They are fast, extremely fast. More or less, one will have elemental abilities and one with a third eye to analyze all moves even before you make them. Those are two of the main powers needed to cause collateral damage. You will have to be very witty and knock them out before anything can happen. The world is counting on you so don't screw up..."

Bakura groaned, rubbing his head as he woke and found himself short one weapon and stuck in a cage that looked to be made from torn up doors. He kicked at it once and it didn't break. 'And reinforced well, too. Guess that alien shanghaied me before I could get another move in.' he thought before he head a scream.

"Let me go! Please, let me go!"

"Ir(i) nn StA." Bakura looked up just in time to see the beast walk out with a struggling Yugi. "We're leaving here."

"Hey! Let the kid go!" Bakura called and cerise eyes turned to him, giving a snarl of anger. "Never. He is mine. My small light. My beautiful light. nDs akhu antyw mr..."

"What do you want with me?"

"Inta ana sayeed mekyad...Inta ana...sedr da'n..."

'I've noticed now...he speaks in Egyptian tongue. A very ancient form of the language, a language imbued with magics. I see what the boss means when these guys are dangerous.' Bakura thought before he continued to kick at the cage sealing him. He had to do something before the creatures escaped and it isn't helping much with him being stuck within a cage. The alien growled as he turned to face Bakura. "You are a nuisance. It's about time I rid of you." Holding Yugi under one arm, he raised the other, a shift of flesh upon his forehead revealing the third eye and energy started to gather into his hand. Bakura tried to think of something and fast and remember the shield contained in the watch he wore. He quickly activated it and a shining shield appeared around him, the dome shattering the cage he was in, sending wood and splinters flying everywhere and by a lucky shot, one landed in the third eye.

He howled in pain, dropping Yugi as he held the bleeding area. "Kid! Run now!" Bakura called and Yugi nodded as he hurried downstairs. Yami hissed in anger before giving out a loud cry and Bakura cursed.

'A warning call!'

Aqua's ears flicked up at attention as he heard the cry and growled. Marik was in a bind himself. He lost his weapon in the scuffle and now, his feet were planted firmly to the ground thanks to a lucky breath of ice that caught him off guard. Marik heard the cry too and seeing Aqua dashing up the stairs, he knew that the sound must've been a call to warn him. Quickly looking through the gadgets upon his watch, he found the right one and used it to melt the ice and chased after the other. Upstairs, Yugi was on his way to the door when he gasped as ice covered the lock, preventing the door from being opened. Aqua came from the house area, looking down to Yugi.

"Why do you run from Yami? From us?"

"Because you're some unknown creature from another planet! How should I react to that?!"

Aqua frowned as he stepped forward, causing Yugi to shrink back at his approach. "Please...go away..." Yami came down after making sure Bakura was out of the picture for the moment and caught the soft plea and frowned. He and Aqua looked to each other before giving a nod and Aqua stepped back. "Mrwt ntk, antyw akhu. nDs mrwt. SxA pn...Tw iw pey-i enh..." he whispered before raising a hand up to Yugi. "Mhi..." A shock ran through Yugi and he collapsed onto the ground, eyes slowly closing and the last thing he heard before everything backed out was the soft hymn that radiate their feeling of lost. When Marik entered the room, he found Yugi there but no sign of Yami or Aqua. When Bakura came down, he told him of what happened up to this point and they both woke Yugi, asking him if he remembered anything about the creatures. Yugi answered that he didn't know what they were talking about. Seeing that it was a memory wipe, they nodded as they left out the shop, the ice on the door gone like magic. "Guess the creatures did the mind wipe for us." Marik spoke as they both climbed into the car and left, leaving Yugi to wonder what just went on but was called by his grandfather and went to assist him.

Months later, Yugi was making his way through the park, summer vacation finally arriving and he was happy to be able to enjoy the warm summer day. But something flitted at the corner of his eye and he turned to see something ducking into the brush of the forest and curious, he ran after it. He followed the shadowy blur until he reached a clearing with a small pond and a dugout hole in the ground. He looked around before heading down into the steep hole, nearly slipping a few times before he reached the bottom. Looking around, he walked along the tunnel, wondering what could be down there. His answer was found as he came across the large cavern where Yami and Aqua stayed, resting their weary minds and bodies after a long days search for sustenance, coming up empty-handed. "What...what are you...?" Yugi whispered as he looked to them. Yami jolted from his spot as he heard the familiar voice and looked to Yugi before backing away. "Hey, don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you."

"You already have...long ago..." Yami whispered.

"I have? But I never saw you before."

"Because, you don't remember. You never will."

"But why?" Yugi asked as he moved closer again only for Yami to shy away from him. "You don't deserve to remember. Long ago, you were afraid of us. Of what we are. We didn't want to see you with fear so we wiped your memory and left you to live your life normally. You were to never see us again." Yugi frowned as this and walked over again, Yami backed away into the wall so he couldn't move as Yugi placed a hand upon his face. "Well, you don't seem so scary now. Maybe it was first impressions." Yami sighed, moving his head from the warm feeling and turned from him. "You have to go. You weren't supposed to know of us. There's a secret organization out that will wipe away your memory if they learned you have met with us."

"I can't leave you two here. You look as if you haven't eaten in months." Aqua looked up from the commotion and gasped when he saw Yugi standing there. "Why is he here, Yami?"

"He must've seen me as I came back. Aqua, you must send him back home." He looked to Yugi. "Yugi...nfr mry...you must never come back here..." The gem upon Aqua's head started to glow and Yugi was about to beg to stay but disappeared. When Yugi came back to consciousness, he was back home in his bed and sat up quickly, looking outside to see that night had fallen while he was out. He sighed as he sat back against the wall. 'I wonder what happened. Yami...he looked as if his heart ached to see me again.' He looked up to the moon. "What happened? I want to remember so I can help you..."

The next day, Yugi returned back to where the dugout was only to find it was gone and he frowned, collapsing to the ground. "They're gone...I wanted to speak with them again, find out why they don't want me to see them." He clutched at his head, fingers gripping his hair slightly. "What happened?! Why can't I remember anything that happened between me and them?!" he cried. A figure stood behind him before touching his shoulder and Yugi jumped, turning to the trench coat wearing person. "Have you met two alien creatures?" he asked. "Yes, I have. Do you know something about them?" The person nodded and Yugi jumped up. "What do you know?! Tell me!"

"Calm yourself, child. Have you seen them before?"

"I think I have but I don't remember. They seem to have known me before but I don't know what has happened that would cause them to leave. One of them told me that I was afraid which caused them to leave." The person nodded as he paced before Yugi. "Then they must've found you as a potential mate but they hated seeing your fear so they wiped your memory of your first meeting and disappeared so you wouldn't encounter them again. It seems you have done so again if you know about them." He looked to Yugi with a calculating glance. "If you must know, they are both creatures that belong on another world entirely. There's a secret organization out that keeps the public from knowing such things but where those two come from, they are frequent visitors to the planet Earth in search of a potential mate other than one from their home world." The male sighed as he stopped pacing. "I brought them here cause I have a different goal in mind but it was dashed when the MIB found out about me again. I left them in a home to grow and stay safe so they wouldn't be found, who knows where they could be." Yugi gasped lightly. "Do you think it's because of me that they could be in danger?"

"I don't want to put the blame on you but with a potential mate rejecting them, they will stay away as far as possible and not let the one they have seen as such a second chance. It probably won't be long before they return to their home world. If they even get there."

"What do you mean?"

"The MIB has tried to prevent their race from coming here because they are a destructive force in the wrong hands. They could level this city with their combined powers so if they get a hold of them, they could be disposed of." Yugi's eyes widened at this and shook his head. "No..."

"I'm sorry, child, but by now, it's too late for them."

"No! I will find them!" he cried as he ran off. "It's useless, child! Give up on that while you have the chance!" But his plea fell on deaf ears as Yugi was out of hearing range.

Yami and Aqua traversed through trash ridden alleys, not knowing what they could do. They didn't have the proper materials to make a teleporter to return home and they didn't want to be caught and have their lives ended. Yami sighed, coming to a stop and looked up to the blue skies. 'I want to forget but I cannot.' he thought as he looked back down. Aqua stopped and looked over to him. "Something wrong, Yami?"

"The boy. I can't stop thinking about him but it's best for me to forget…I don't want to though."

"I know, Yami. I can't forget either but there's nothing we can do. He didn't show no fear this time since his memory's been wiped but it's still there, only buried." Aqua replied as he walked over to his older sibling. "There you are. About time we found you." A voice called and they quickly turned to see Bakura and Marik standing before them, weapons out and ready to shoot if need be. "Now, are you going to come quietly or do we have to take you out here?" The two agents were surprised when the two came without a fuss. "Our purpose here is done. Nothing is left." Yami whispered. Bakura looked to Marik who only shrugged as both were ushered into the van waiting for them and were soon off. Yugi saw them being placed into the van and chased after it, hoping that he could catch up. The smaller was tuckered out as the van stopped at an unfamiliar building and watched as Yami and Aqua were dragged out of the van without any fight. "Now, this little disposal should be painless. We would send you home but boss doesn't want any chances of a return." Marik spoke and Yugi cried out as he ran out, surprising Marik and Bakura.

"Kid! What are you doing here?!"

"Don't kill them!" he cried, standing before the doors to the building. "Kid, move. They can cause mass damage if we leave them to run around this city unhindered." Bakura stated. "Besides, they had done enough damage when they were with you months ago." Marik added. "I don't care what happened then! I care about now and I don't want them to be killed!" Yami looked to him sadly. "Nfr mry, why did you follow? You have no reason to be here."

"Yes I do!" he cried as he looked to him. "Please, tell me what happened months ago. Something big happened to bring such a look in your eyes." Yugi whispered and Bakura gave a sigh. "Alright, kid. You really aren't supposed to remember this but since we aren't going to get anywhere with you, best get it over with. A few months back, we were chasing an alien that had these two alien pods with him. We had to track them down because this race is a dangerous breed. He gave us the slip by leaving the pods within your home. They grew and soon hatched and pretty much stayed within your basement. We found some secretions left behind when the alien slipped the pods into your basement so we knew they were there. We posed as exterminators to try and get them but that failed as we were transported here."

"We don't know what happened in between but the next time we came back, we had a fight on our hands because they found you to be the perfect mate. We weren't supposed to have you or your grandfather know about them. My feet were frozen to the ground but when I got free and headed upstairs, you were knocked out. We woke you and asked if you knew anything about them but you didn't so we knew they wiped your memory. I guess you fear finally made them decide to leave you." Yugi frowned as he looked to the two aliens that kept their gaze from him. He walked over slowly and placed a hand upon Yami's shoulder, startling him. "I'm sorry for what happened. Please, don't go and get yourselves exterminated. We can work this out if you give me a second chance."

"We can't. Your fear is only buried. Your fear of the unknown will never change so we can't stay." Yami whispered but gasped as his head was turned and soft lips met his own. Bakura gagged as it happened and looked to Yugi quizzically as he pulled away. "Giving them something to remember you by?"

"No, something to make him change his mind."

"Kid, they are dangerous and need to be dealt with."

"They only are in the wrong hands!" Yugi hissed as he looked to Bakura who flinched a little. "I won't make them do anything dangerous! I want them to stay because I love them!"

"Don't kid around about such." Yami murmured. "You could never love us. Not while we are what we are." His head was turned to face Yugi and the boy smiled softly. "Love knows no boundaries, Yami. I was afraid before, sure, but I'm not now. You found something in me and I squandered that gift before because I was scared of you. I don't see anything to be afraid of now except for the end of your lives. Don't leave me. Let me be the first to have a second chance to give you both a better life." Yami pondered over this and Bakura gave a sigh. "Come on, they won't agree to such a thing! They tried before and failed so what makes you think you will be given a second-"

"Alright. I believe you, nfr mry." Yami whispered and Bakura gaped. "What?!"

"His words holds no lies. I think that Aqua and I can trust him again." Yugi smiled brightly and moved to hug him. "That's all I wanted to hear." Bakura gave a groan. "I can't believe this. This close to completing a mission and it's blown out of the water thanks to a kid that was scared shitless of these two only three months ago." he mumbled. Marik chuckled as he watched them leave. "I guess matters of the heart can't be broken easily. That kid's a brave one to even worry about them after being afraid of them before." Bakura gave a sigh before heading into the building with Marik following behind him.

"You're right. I bet if the kid still had his memory about what happened before, he would've grown to accept them and their proposal before the worse could happen."

Zypher: And there you have it. I think I might've botched the ending a little but I hoped you still enjoyed it anyway. I have to thank Ocean and Fly Away Home (great story!) and another story whose title escapes me for the mass amount of Egyptian translations used since those things are really hard to find nowadays. Again, hoped you all like and I'll see you soon with a new chapter.
