Intro: settling into a new life does not go smoothly for buffy faith nor Willow


"Don't tell me you merged with the wing dragon of Ra" said Bakura.

"We sure did" said Atem.

"So how did you and Faith get here Bakura?" asked Buffy.

"Well the fastest way for me to travail is to walk through the shadows so I took Faith with me" said Bakura.

"Figures you'd use darkness to get here" said Atem, in an accusing voice.

"ATEM" said Buffy in a shocked voice.

"Oh that's rich coming from the nephew of the man who murdered everyone in my village too make those Millennium Items" Bakura agued angrily.

Faith took Bakura's hand even after being reborn the memories still haunted the former tomb robber

"Bakura!" both Buffy and Willow cried.

Seto turned away and closed his eyes Willow had felt Seto tense at the mention of the massacre his farther was involved in she leant back into his embrace trying to give him comfort.

"What" both men cried

"I'm sorry for what my father did Bakura I know what I'm saying doesn't mean much even after all this time but I truly am" Seto Whispered.

Before letting go of Willow, standing up he walking out and made his way through the mansion towards the backyard entering the back yard seto sat down on the back porch steps his head in his hands.


Meanwhile in the living room There was silence for a while after Seto left but it was broken by Buffy

"Why is it, because Bakura travelled though shadows to get here that it's wrong, after all you merged with the wing dragon of Ra to fly us here so what's the difference?" asked Buffy.

"Simple my love walking through shadows is a form of dark transportation, well merging with the Wing dragon of Ra is power from the gods" said Atem.

"Bakura I understand your STILL traumatised by the event but when are you ever going to let go of your hatred for the royal family?" Willow asked Softly

"Never" he snarled

"Then I'm sorry to say you'll never be able to fully heal from the pain you still carry" said Willow.

Bakura stood up and left the room they then heard the front door slam shut Faith eyes closed in pain for her fiance

"I can't stay B I got to go make sure Bakura is OK" said Faith, standing up from her place on the sofa.

"Sure go Faith"

So after her sister slayer left Buffy turned to her husband.

So your saying that it's OK for you to merge with the wing dragon of Ra, but it's not ok for Bakura and faith to travail though the shadows, is that what you're saying?" asked Buffy.

"That's exactly what I'm saying" said Atem, Buffy just sat there shocked, as was everyone else that heard Atem's speech, she then stood up and stomped out of the living room, and headed out of the mansion. Willow meanwhile stood up from her chair and went to go find Seto.


When Willow stepped outside she saw Seto sitting on the steps. Walking behind him she knelt down and wrapped her arms around him.

"Hey I'm going to head off see if I can find Buffy then I'm gonna go help Faith would you like to come with?" she asked him.

"Thank you, black eyes but no in fact I think I'll head home and start on unpacking your boxes" said Seto.

"Thanks, do you wanna say goodbye to your cousin before we go?"

"No" replied Seto.

"OK we will just go out the side gate"

Seto nodded and they both stood up walked down the steps though the side gate and crossed the front yard before walking out the gate standing on the side walk Seto took out his phone and called his driver after hanging up he looked at his girlfriend.

"Willow would you like a ride to Faith and Bakura's?" he asked

Kissing his cheek, she smiled.

"No thanks luckily for me they live 2 streets over so I'll walk"

Seto nodded.

Then watched her walk off.

After a while the limo drove up and Seto got in


back inside Atem sighed before pulling out his cell and calling Malik.

Malik: Hey pharaoh what's up?

Atem: Besides having a fight with my newlywed slayer wife nothing I really wish Ra could send me to the shadow realm

Malik: Why what happened

Atem: What do you think?

Malik: I think you were being an ass-hole to Bakura again

Atem: Is it that easy to tell

Malik: Of course it is the only time you call me and interrupt my time with Malik is when you're being a total ass-hole to Bakura

Malik: Fine I'll just go then if you're not going to help

Then he hung up.


"Fucking dickhead" Atem muttered.

Before standing and walking out of the mansion.

After a while he found himself walking through the city.

OK if I was a totally pissed off slayer where would I go thought Atem.

While searching for his newly wed wife, suddenly he stopped and slapped his forehead.

"Of course the Domino cemetery" he muttered.

So taking off he raced through the city towards the cemetery, however the girls had gone to Faith and Bakura's apartment to help Faith unpack.


When they had entered they found a note from Bakura saying he was in the shadow realm cooling off so the girls decided to start in on the master bedroom.

"Man I don't know what he was so mad about, after all what were you both supposed to do, walk all the way from where you guys had found Seto and Willow or catch a cab?" asked Buffy.

While throwing clothes in draws, and slamming the draws shut.

"B watch it I don't want my chest of draws broken" said Faith.

"Oh sorry Faith" said Buffy.

"Well we did offer you guys a ride but Bakura did not want to wait so long for the limo" said Willow

"We would have had to walk, because there is no way in hell I'd let Kura catch a cab, not after what happened 4 years ago when we were here" said Faith. "do you remember" Willow asked her best friend.

"I do" said Buffy they all looked at each other laughed.


****Flash back 4 years ago*****

They all had just come back from the movies, and court a cab back to Seto's they had all pitched in with the cab fee all but Bakura who had spent his share without the others knowing. So they all stood just outside Seto's mansion waiting for Bakura to fork out his share, so they could pay, and instead he got so fed up with the driver saying it wasn't enough so he sent the driver and the cab to the shadow realm.

****End of Flash back****


"That was funny but mean" laughed Buffy.

"It was but it was also the first time we knew that Bakura had power like that" Willow agreed.

"No it wasn't in fact it was a bloody nightmare from then on I promised myself I'd never catch a cab with Bakura again" said Faith.

They finished unpacking the master bedroom, walking out they made their way into the kitchen and started to unpack.

"Hey girls we need some music on" said Willow.

As she opened a box marked plates.

"Well what have you got" asked Buffy.

As Willow passed her a plate to unwrap.

Well I've got the perfect song for your mood B" said Faith.

She walked over to the CD player that was on the counter, then rummaged through the box of CD's until she found the mixed CD taking the CD from its case she placed the CD in the player, she skipped the other songs, until it got the song (Take another piece of my heart) by Faith hill.

"Oh yes this is the perfect song thanks" said Buffy.

When she heard the 1st verse as she unwrapped another plate, and handed it to Faith to put away, once they finished the kitchen.

Once the song finished, Faith took the CD player as they moved into the lounge room. Plugging the player back in again the song switched to (into the night) by Santana and Chad Kroeger

"I like this song" said Buffy.

While she and faith used their slayer strength to move the sofa to the center of the living room.

"Yeah it's a good song to dance to" said Willow

Who used her magic to move both sofa chairs just a few feet in front and of to the side of the sofa while moving the table the T.V stood on to the back wall Buffy and Faith then moved the T.V on top of the table

Just as they finished the living room, Willow gasp.

"Uh there is a cold dark presence in the house" said Willow.

"It's ok Willow I felt that when Kura and I walked through the shadows it's just means Kura's back from the shadow realm" said Faith.

"Hey Bakura" said Buffy.

When she saw the white hair Egyptian walk into the living room.

"Oh hey Buff by the way the Pharaoh's looking for you" said Bakura.

Who walked in and sat in the arm chair before looking around.

"Oh wow you guys are finished the apartment already it looks great"

"When did you speak to him?" asked Buffy

"He came to the shadow Realm about 20 minutes ago wondering if I had seen you." Bakura explained

HE WHAT" they cried.

"Bakura are you saying Atem has the same powers you do?" asked a seething Buffy.

"I am" said Bakura

"Why that little and after he got all prissy about you using the shadows because they are darkness and he has those same powers" Faith raged.

Buffy understood Faith's anger her own blood was boiling.

""Hey Bakura where is Atem now?" Buffy asked as calmly as she could.

"At home after searching for you most off the morning" said Bakura.

"Thanks" said Buffy, standing up she made her way to the door but was stopped by Willow's voice.

"Where are you going Buffy?" asked Willow.

"Yeah B where are you going?" asked Faith, while walking up to her slayer sister and stood in front of her.

"I'm going to go back home and talk with Atem" said Buffy.

While opening the door.

"While you're at it give that hubby of yours a tongue lashing from me and by tongue lashing I mean give him one for me will you" said Faith, punching her left fist into her right palm indicating what she wanted done.

"Call us if you need to talk" said Willow

"Or if you need help hiding the body" said Faith

Buffy laughed.

"Will do."

Walking out, and closing the door.

Exiting the building after walking four flights of stair Buffy made her way across both streets until she got to her own street and made her way down the side walk towards the mansion she shared with her husband


Meanwhile Atem was at home, lying on the sofa channel surfing, when he heard the door open.

"ATEM KAIBA" Buffy Bellowed.

Shit she sounds pissed.

He then saw her standing in the arch way of the living room her green eyes blazing like green flames.

"Buffy honey what is wrong you look upset"said Atem.

Standing up he made his way over to her.

"is it true do you have shadow powers like Bakura"

That sentence stopped him in his tracks.

"What did you say" he asked.

"Do you" she asked again

Atem lowered his eyes.

"I…I do"

"How…. How could you"

Hearing the pain in her voice Atem looked up but he wishes he hadn't seeing the pain in his wife's eyes broke his heart

"You criticise Bakura for using his powers because they are darkness making him remember HOW they were formed and yet YOU have those same powers"

Walking over to her husband he thought she was going to hug him instead he felt pain as Buffy punched him across the jaw not hard enough to brake anything"

Bloody hell what was that for?" he asked

Rubbing his jaw.

"That was from Faith and trust me when I say this IF SHE had done it she would have broken your jaw so be thankful I only bruised it"

With that she Stormed out of the living room and made her way through the mansion and up the stairs and down the hall to the master bedroom walking in she slammed the door so hard it shook the mansion but she was surprised it didn't break the door off its hinges

Back down stairs Atem was still rubbing his jaw as he walked over to the sofa and flopped back down his head in his hands.

So much for the honeymoon period he thought miserably.
