Hi! I'm Schayne. I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh nut! (Obviously.)

First things first. I thought it'd be cool if we had a fic written from Atum's point of view. Also I have had some theories about Yugi's parents and wanted to see… well, you'll see. And the romances, look out for them, I have some big plans for the characters in that department.

Also this was posted on my friend's, DC66, account until my own one was formed. Now that mine is up, I have edited some parts and the hilarity begins…soon… .

Well, that's all for now. BYE!

P.S. Join the Cherry Army! (Look for DreamCherry66 for details.)

SUMMARY- Eh, let's just say that Yugi has a few…things hidden in his past. And get your mind outta the gutter. .

WARNINGS- Randomness ahead. Yaoi implications and maybe some Yumi if DreamCherry66 edits my story behind my back

DC66- .:shifty eyes:. Know what's scary? The fact that I'm writing the warning!

COUPLES- Seto/Joey, Yugi/Ryou, Bakura/Malik, Serenity/Marik, Tea/Mai (No-one knows until Tea…), Atum/Noah, Mokuba/Alexis (Brief here and there and at the end…oops, shouldn't have said that!)

DC666- .:Cheesy, Bakura, I'm-gonna-eat-you grin:. So hot… .:Drools over the thought of Seto, Atum, Malik and Bakura in tighter-than-skin pants:. So, so very hot.

OOoOooOoOO

I've always felt alone in the world, like no one understood me. No matter how hard my friend, Yugi Muto, tried, it was always the same.

Sorry, I'm… uh, um… sorry, I forgot my real name again… some people call me Pharaoh, Spirit or Yami. But, Yugi, he calls me a friend.

Yami is an Egyptian word for darkness; the Millennium Items all contain a 'yami' (A/N- We know, we know, it's actually Japanese. Get over it). Some are not as evil or powerful as others but, still, they are nasty at times, I should know, I am one.

The Millennium Items are seven powerful, ancient items that were used to save the world before they turned on their owners and encased the owners inside them. The seven items are the Puzzle, the Eye, the Rod, the Ring, the Key, the Scales and the Necklace.

I know some of the people that have some of the items. Ryou Bakura has the Ring (and the Eye, but I'm not supposed to know) and his yami's name is also Bakura Marik Ishtar has the Rod and his yami is named Malik. Marik's sister, Ishizu, had the necklace, but she gave it to me, and, uh, well, I haven't met that yami. Maximillium Pegasus had the Eye, before Bakura stole it. Some mystery man has the Key. May Ra have mercy on their souls.

I live in the Millennium Puzzle; a mystical item discovered by Trusdale, Yugi's grandpa, while he was still an Egyptologist.

OH! My name is Atum (pronounced At-oom-oo). I knew I'd remember it eventually. I'm remembering some other things too.

I was once a powerful pharaoh, the leader of Ancient Egypt; many worshipped me and saw me as a god… until my cousin, Seth, betrayed me. A war began, between the forces of good and the forces of evil (aka, my cousin).

They say… that blood is thicker than water… but the Nile's waters were thick with both mud that had been kicked up, and the blood shed by our enemies and allies. Sometimes, at night, I can still hear the battle cries and screams of pain as people fell, defending what they thought was right.

All I can remember is asking my cousin if instead of the physical war, if we could hold Shadow Games. Those games meant summoning monsters to a field and having them do battle for us. Our enemies used many powerful monsters, but our monsters were faithful and trustworthy and eventually brought us to victory.

But enough about me and my past-I need to get on with the tale-a few months ago Yugi came home from school and asked me to come out of the puzzle to speak to him (and to give him advice). This was not unusual for Yugi, but this seemed scary, almost familiar. The I'm excited/nervous/happy/sad/confused feelings he was giving off were, in Mai's words: Freakalicious.

At first I did not understand what he was telling me. He had previously told me that he had not heard from his parents in years. But, he was now telling me that he had just received a letter telling him that his parents were coming home and that they had a surprise for him, many surprises as it turned out.

Two days later I was standing at the airport with Yugi, Trusdale, Yugi's friends; Joseph (Joey) and Serenity Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Teá Gardener, Duke Devlin, the Kaiba brothers (Seto, Mokuba and Noah), Ryou Bakura, Bakura, Marik and Ishizu Ishtar, Malik and… some other people who I can't be bothered naming.

"Atum? What if I don't recognize them? What if they don't recognize me?" Yugi turned and asked me nervously.

"Hey, Yuge, calm down. If they can't recognize you they will most definitely recognize Grandpa. Right?" Joey grinned.

"Yes, Aibou, for once in his life, Joey is showing signs of intelligence, and as much as I am afraid that it will inflate his head, he is correct." I comforted my young light side.

Serenity found this hilarious as did Marik who quickly moved his arm from around her waist to cover his mouth as he laughed. I also think there was a hidden motive in moving his arm, but…

"Yami? What if they confuse you for me? I mean you look more like me than I do… did that make sense?"

"Yugi, my friend, even if that did make sense; I still wouldn't have understood you. But, if they make that mistake, we shall correct them…" Suddenly I was interrupted by a sinister voice.

"Or we could turn them into mind slaves…" Malik growled with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Or we could gnaw on their leg for a while until they get the hint…" Bakura gave us his best, most hungry 'I'm-going-to-eat-you' look. Then was suddenly hit in the face with a bag of potato chips that were thrown at him by Tristan, who, up until this moment had been showing off for Serenity (much to Marik's displeasure) and had just been hit over the head by Joey. "OW! Ooh, yum! HEY!"

"In the name of Ra!" I exclaimed breathlessly.

Serenity was rolling on the floor in fits of giggles because of the war that Bakura and Malik were having over the bag of chips.

"Knock it off already, dudes." Duke laughed.

((DC66- Interesting fact number 1; A 'Dude' is a camel's penis XDDDDD))

"MINE NOW!" Joey yelled and quickly grabbed the bag off them both, ripped it open and spat inside the pack. Much to the disgust of the rest of us.

"YUGI, MY BABY!" Rang out across the waiting lounge as a woman with black and purple hair ran up and nearly strangled me. Seto thought that this was hilarious, but I've seen funnier.

"Hi, son, long time, no see." Smiled a fairly young man, with blonde and purple hair, as he walked up to Yugi. "Honey, wrong kid. That's Atum."

Yugi's mum let me go. "May Ra have mercy on your soul." I whispered darkly. "As you have heard, I'm Atum. That shortie over there is your son." I said politely, still afraid that she was going to hug me again.

"Sorry, Atum. YUGI!" Yugi's mum giggled as she went for take two.

"Um, mum, dad? What about us?" Came the voices of two shy teenagers that had been standing in the shadows. "Can we talk to our brother?"

Everyone stood in shock as the two people stepped towards us and the girl screamed and threw herself onto Seto Kaiba as she recognized the CEO-and head of Kaiba Corporation. "OH MY GOD! I LOVE YOU SETO!" She shrieked into his ear.

"YUGI! GET THIS EFFING MANIAC OFF ME!" Seto yelled angrily.

"Frigid, Blue Eyes White Dragon can't even handle having a girl wrapped around him!" Joey smirked. "Hey, Yuge, don't bother, I like seeing him like this. His face is purple!" Joey laughed as he rolled on the floor, his sides aching.

"Excuse me, miss, can you please stop attacking my, uh… Kaiba, are you my friend?" Yugi asked.

"Yes, you pompous wind-bag, I'm your friend, now can you get her off me?" Seto grimaced.

"Yeah, anyway, could you please get off my friend?" Yugi asked fearing that she'd then attack him. His fear was soon realized as she leapt on him.

"HI, LITTLE BROTHER! I'm Alexis and that thing over there…" She trailed off as she saw that her brother and I looked exactly alike and that we were standing side-by-side with the same 'oh-it's you' look on our faces.

"Just so you know, I'm Atum." I smiled.

"So, that means that that ugly thing next to Atum, and looks like him, is our brother, my twin, and he's…"

((DC66- Is she implying that MY Atum is UGLY! DIE! .:shoots her:.))

"I can speak for myself, oh loud-mouthed one. I'm Lucas, but, bro, you and your friends can call me Luke. Nice to see you again, Yuge." Lucas smiled and noticed that people were staring at him. "What? Just 'coz I call him Yuge. What's wrong with that?"

"Dude, I call him Yuge. I've done it ever since we met." Joey laughed.

"COOL! I have something in common with the famous Joey Wheeler!" Luke exclaimed.

"Since when has that mutt been famous?" Seto asked dryly. Serenity grunted.

"Kaiba, you just don't appreciate my talent." Joey boasted as he played with his hair and tried to strike a pose. Serenity giggled. Joey was hoping that Yugi's sister would notice him and notice him, she did.

"Don't let it swell your head, Wheeler. Luke has been talking to dad and reading Yugi and Grandpa's letters to mum and dad. Idiot." She growled at him.

"Sorry, Joey, but she's right."

"What was that, my beloved elder brother? Did you just saw that I am right?"

"Hey, Kaiba, when did you start giving 'how to be a grumpy, gloating ass lessons'? 'Coz I want some!" Marik laughed gleefully. Serenity stood next to him and had to stifle her snorting laugh.

"OH MY GOD!" Mokuba suddenly yelled out. "I know you two now! You're in that band… um, uh…"

"Nile Tears? NT for short? Actually, we are the band. Just us." Alexis and Luke claimed together.

"Yeah, you rock! I have posters of you at home on the walls in my room." Mokuba giggled.

Seto shuddered. "So, that's where I recognize you from…Every time I walk into Mokuba's room, you're staring out at me from the walls…" He grumbled.

"Heh…I love your leather outfit…" Noah blushed as he spoke to Alex.

"Ooh, that reminds me. Yugi, my cute little brother, do you and your friends want to come to our next concert? Special reserve mosh pit?" Alex asked sweetly. She was nearly knocked over by the chorus of "YEAH!"s that followed her questions. Not to mention a short black-haired kid jumping on top of her and hugging her while he gave his brother the oh-so-famous puppy dog eyes.

DC66- Well now, how was that for Chika's first fic?

DC666- .:Is happily glomping Seto:. WHEEEE! Can we go back to my home in Australia and elope?

DC66- Oh! By the way, for those of you who don't know, DC66 is short for DreamCherry66 and DC666 is short for DreamCherry666:D If anyone wants some info on the Cherry Alliance (Don't mock the name, it came with a sugar high) see either my profile or Dreamcherry14. Well, that's all for now!

DC666- Just so you know…I have had to edit all chapters after I have written them. My dad thinks I'm a good girl…I'm not allowed to swear…but I still left the Yaoi in so maybe it won't be so bad if he finds the site and my fic…maybe… .:Shifty eyes:.

Time for a random moment.

Yami no Bakura was busy wandering around the local shopping centre, looking for something to blow up. A hand tapped him on the shoulder, causing the tomb robber to turn around. In front of him was none other than an evil dust bunny of doom. Wondering why on Earth there was a dust bunny there he turned back around to walk away from it. That was before the -small- dust bunny suddenly grew huge and ate him. Outside the shopping centre Yami no Malik was rolling around on the ground, crying from laughter. Mind control worked very well on small pieces of lent, or so it seemed…

To Be Continued…

Reviews prevent the sudden death of yamis and hikaris alike.

.:Screams come from next room:. "NO DON'T! PLEASE DON'T…"

DC66- .:shifty eyes:. I'm not playing kinky games with them...honest o.-
