Chibi: Thanx reviewers! Hm...I sure am glad you all love this! This is like my first story and it's popular!

Yugi: Yeah, your poems only got one review each!

Chibi: Uresei! At least they were good reviews! They weren't flames!

Atemu: Songfic again! This time it's Lucky by Hoobastank.

Chibi: I was thinking of making it the song Disappear, but I couldn't figure out which one I wanted. They were both good ideas to me...Sorry if you don't like this band. It is a short song, so I guess if you don't like it you won't have to suffer! MUHAHAHA—

Atemu: (Huge skillet in hand) There! Damn!

Yugi: Atemu-chan! How dare you!

Atemu: Gomen....Well, here you go.

Chapter Eight: Learning to Love

....Yes, he was in a world where Yami—No, Atemu, loved him for who he was...

Yugi began to react to Atemu to show he felt the same. He stuck his tongue in the back of Atemu's throat; Atemu nearly choked. He began to cough violently and he spit in the grass next to him.

"Gomen Atemu! I guess I'm not very good at kissing. I'll probably never be a good kisser..."

"Y-Yugi...This is my first time too...! Don't worry. We'll get better...together. We have all eternity now..."

"Oh Atemu!" Yugi shouted with light shimmering in his eyes. He hugged him and nuzzled his nose in the crook of Atemu's neck and shoulder.

"I love you...Atemu-chan." Yugi whispered as he licked the dip of Atemu's shoulder.

Atemu shivered in delight and brought Yugi closer and hugged him tighter.

[I knew how it felt to be another one in need of someone to show the way...

Until you saw a part of me that nobody else could see and my life hasn't been

The same...]

Yugi sighed happily as did Atemu. The Pharaoh finally got the pain off of him. The pain that had been accumulating inside of his heart...He let all of it go inside his kiss. Yugi was here to help him now.

[You make me feel lucky as I can be...]

Atemu didn't have to use a diary to write down his pains, loves and emotions anymore. He had his aibou; his lover...

[Before I couldn't get a break, never had a chance to the impressions I want to

But now it falls right into place when I get to see your face then there's

Nothing that I can't do...]

The stallion, Yuugi, watched the two and mentally smiled. {Don't worry, he is not going to disappear. I love him too much! I guess I'll make it so that he came back to life to help Atemu. It will be because of Atemu's father. His father brought him back to life with help from Osiris! Yay!}

Yuugi began to graze on grass. He was happy that his master had found love. Within the ten years he had been with Atemu in Ancient Egypt, he noticed his master becoming lonely and wanting a mate. Atemu found Yuugi a mate, and he was happy. But he ended up falling down the crevice that Bakura created, and he never got to have a baby horse of his own.

Yuugi was sure that his mate was saddened. She loved Yuugi very much. He had wanted to have foal, but he died before he got to. He just wished he could have his mate back just like his master had.

[No more dark days, only sun rays

No more hard ways with you today...

You make me feel.......]

Yuugi grunted sadly. Atemu looked up at his stallion.

"What is it boy?" Atemu asked as he held Yugi's hand and brought him up.

Yuugi threw his head up and gestured to Yugi.

"What? You don't like Yugi?" Atemu asked confused.

Yuugi shook his head back and forth. He then moved closer to Yugi and nudged his body closer to Atemu's. The horse then moved to Atemu's ear and licked it and then nibbled on his hair.

"Atemu-chan...I think....He wants a mate...!" Yugi suddenly realized.

"Oh! Wait...He must have already had one if he is this sad! Yuugi, is that what you want? Your mate?"

Yuugi shook his head up and down and made happy sounding grunting noises. But then he saddened once again.

"I don't know what I can do about that...I am so sorry Yuugi...I can't bring her to you like I had 3,000 years ago...She's dead..." Atemu said sadly.

Yuugi turned his head and nibbled his master's face. Atemu laughed and rubbed his horse's cheek.

"Merut...." Atemu breathed.

"Huh?" Yugi asked.

"It means 'love' in Egyptian...I merut...I love you...I shall call you that from time to time now aibou! Merut. Hm...I shall call you koi and merut! Hehe...We also have to think of a way to find my stallion's mate...Maybe it was a gift to the gods for me...I shall pray to them to bring my old friend happiness."

"Aw, Atemu-chan...I'll help too! C'mon, let's go back to the cabin. It's like....Oh my gosh! It's almost midnight!" Yugi gasped while looking at his watch.

"Yugi-chan...What if your grandpa wakes up again...? He's going to hurt me..."

"Don't worry...I'll protect you..." Yugi said as he jumped on the horse. Atemu followed soon after and they soon rode off to the cabin.

When they got back, jii-chan was up looking as awake as ever. Not very good...Atemu crept up against Yugi.

"Atemu..! Stop! You're rubbing your crotch against my backside again!" Yugi whispered loudly.

"Who's there?" came a voice.

Both Yugi and Atemu froze instantly to the person calling. Atemu began to run but ended up on the ground because he bumped into something. It happened to be...Sugoroku!!

"AHHHH!!!" Atemu screamed as he tried to get away.

"What is wrong with you my boy? What is so scary?"

"Y-You...You..." Atemu stuttered.

"Jii-chan?" Yugi asked as he came up from behind Atemu. His grandpa didn't seem phased when he noticed he was talking to Atemu nicely. Actually, he was acting the way he always had before he turned...evil...

"Ah, Yugi my boy! What is wrong with Yami? He should get some medicine! Ho ho! I might need some too! I have the bruise the size of a walnut on my forehead! I wonder where I got that?" Yugi's grandpa said cheerfully.

Atemu and Yugi laughed nervously.

(Do you think the bump to the head caused him to be normal again?)

/Maybe Atemu.../

(Maybe he got that amnesma thing...)

/It's called amnesia Atemu.../

(Well, Ok, but can we go up to our room so that I can ask the gods for our favor?)

Yugi responded by quickly running up the stairs. Atemu followed immediately after, leaving a confused, once evil grandfather to scratch his head.

Atemu took off the millennium puzzle and laid it on the bed. He chanted some words and it began to glow.

"Ok, let's go! Let's tell my father and the gods to bring back Yuugi's mate!" Atemu exclaimed happily.

"Right!" Yugi replied.

"Father, please...We have a request of you...May you please bring back my horse's mate...? He is lonely. After helping me with my lover, he needs to be rewarded...Please! I beg of you father!"

"Yes...Please Pharaoh. It'll make Atemu-chan and Yuugi very happy..."

After Yugi had finished, the puzzle began to glow black. Then it stopped glowing and Atemu looked at it confused.

"Do you think it worked?"

"Well, maybe we should just go to sleep...I'm tired Atemu-chan..."

"Ok aibou."

Unbeknownst to them, Atemu's father had been listening. He and the gods had granted their wish. A pure black horse materialized next to the sleeping stallion. It had red eyes...

Chibi: Ok, what should the horse's mate be called?

Yami; since it is pure black...

Nefert; means beautiful in Egyptian...

Isis

I do not know what I am doing...Maybe it should just be Yami; I mean, the white horse is named Yuugi! Tell me whatcha think but I just might make it Yami. Isn't that a coincidence? The black horse had red eyes and the white horse had purple eyes. It's almost as if Yugi and Atemu had turned into horses....Its nickname will probably be Yami-ko. That way we can identify their bodies...Yeah...

Chibi: Please review!

Atemu and Yugi: Muhahaha...! Ha...! Ahem.
