Chapter 4

Jii Chan woke the following morning feeling refreshed after a good long sleep he sat up and looked over at the two teens and saw that both of them were awake and sitting up with questioning looks on their faces. Jii Chan sighed heavily and knew that it was time to tell them both the truth about who they were.

"Morning boys." He said as cheerfully as he could. The two sat on their beds their expressions not changing and he knew they had to know before anything else was said.

"I expect you both have questions that need answering am I right?" both nodded in unison. Jii Chan wondered to himself how they had not guessed they were twins they were so alike but on the other hand he thought that maybe they had and were merely waiting for him to confirm it.

"Well I'll start at the beginning. My daughter, your mother was very beautiful and had many young men coming to call on her all wanting to take her out but she said no to them all preferring instead to stay at home with me. I do not know why, I would have been happy for her to settle down with a nice young man, but she always said that they were only after her so they could look good with her on their arms.

Until one day a man came and swept her off her feet with compliments, flowers and persisted for months before she actually agreed to go on a date with him. He treated her wonderfully and even asked her to marry him to which she said yes. But then she fell pregnant and he walked out of her life saying that he didn't want to be a father, he just wanted it to be two of them. Your mother refused to have an abortion and I promised to help her raise you. We did not know there would be two babies.

When your mother gave birth to twins it was a shock but I swore to help her get through everything. Unfortunately, she suffered internal bleeding and only lived long enough to name you both before she died in my arms."

A tear rolled down the old man's cheek as he remembered Yugi and Atemu's mother in her dying moments. He wiped it away before continuing.

"Your mother made me promise to look after you both and raise you. She made me swear not to separate you both but after she died the money soon ran out and we were surviving on next to nothing. I decided at great lengths to split the two of you up in hope that one day when things were better you could be reunited. I could afford to keep one, you Yugi and you Atemu was adopted by close friends of the family. Up until ten years ago, they kept in touch with me promising to tell you about your brother when you were old enough however, six years ago they moved to Egypt and never wrote to me again. I was devastated and wanted to search for you. I did try but found nothing. I did not even know they had died until a few days ago when you came forwards Atemu. I will never forgive myself for separating both of you and I shall always regret it but I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive an old man for his mistake."

Jii Chan ended his long story and hung his head in shame fully expecting the boys to shout at him and demand to know why they had been denied their childhoods together but none came. Instead the sound of sobs reached his ears and he looked up in surprise.

Both boys were crying and held out their arms to their grandfather who got up off his bed and went over to Atemu first and hugged him tight.

"I am so sorry Atemu." He whispered his voice very choked up.

"It's okay Jii Chan I understand." Atemu said through his tears and broke the embrace so Yugi could have a hug also.

'Twins!' Atemu said through their mind link. They had discovered that the mind link still worked even when they weren't touching. Atemu had said it was probably because they had never touched before and so it had remained dormant until now. Yugi found himself wondering how he had managed all these years without Atemu's comforting voice in his thoughts but he now felt whole whereas before he had always felt as though a piece of him was missing though he couldn't place it.

'I know Atemu I'm happier than I have ever felt.' Yugi sent back and grinned at Atemu behind Jii Chan's back as the old man held him close.

"I forgive you Jii Chan." Yugi said, "I understand why you did it."

"I am glad and relieved!" Jii chan said relaxing properly for the first time since Yugi had first been taken ill.

"Though it would have been better if I hadn't nearly died to find out I had a brother!"

"I'm so sorry Yugi but I wanted to try and find Atemu before I told you. I was going to tell you soon but with you being so ill I decided to put it off until you were well enough to take it all in."

"I'm so glad to have found you both." Atemu said looking much happier now his initial shock was gone. No wonder they had a link, wasn't it said that twins often did? Now he came to think of it there were times in his life when he had felt happy or sad for no apparent reason now he knew why. It must have come from Yugi.

"Now both of you need to concentrate on getting well again. I think that Seto and Jou are visiting this afternoon so you can tell them both your news." Jii Chan smiled down at both his grandsons happier than he had been for the last sixteen years.

"I'm going to go home now and get Atemu's room ready for him. Do you like games Atemu?"

"Yes very much so." Atemu said smiling up at the old man.

"Good I think you get that from your mother as well as me." He grinned and gathered up his things before leaving them alone to get to know each other better.

Later on that afternoon laughter could be heard coming from the twins room as Seto and Jou filled Atemu in on all the childhood antics that they had got up to when they were growing up and Atemu in turn told them of funny things that he himself had done. They hadn't been there long when Yugi felt himself growing tired.

"I'm sorry but I think I need to sleep now." He said the tiredness clear in his voice. The other three looked at him concerned.

"Are you okay Yugi?" Seto asked looking very worried.

"Yes, yes I'm fine." Yugi said trying to reassure them. Truth was he was feeling like he had done before his op but didn't want to worry anyone with it.

"Okay we'll leave you two to get some sleep, we'll come back and visit tomorrow is that ok?"

"That'll be great." Yugi said feeling himself falling asleep as they spoke and Atemu grinned at the two friends thanking them for coming.

By the time Seto and Jou left the room Yugi was already asleep. Atemu looked over at his twin concerned but thinking that it had been a long day and he was still recovering from a major illness. He himself was feeling tired and decided to join Yugi in his sleep.

In Egypt a couple sat and poured over books and papers spread in front of them. Their worst fears had been confirmed via one of their messengers. Atemu and Yugi had been reunited and Yugi was recovering from the leukemia that had supposed to rid them both of him. Now both twins were alive and that spelt trouble for them. If it hadn't been for that car crash, they would have been able to keep the two apart but they had to vanish after the crash as the car had burned out when it impacted and it would have looked very suspicious for two people to walk away from the crash completely unharmed. So here they sat pouring over books trying to work out how to destroy the twins.

"They must have discovered that they are different by now." The woman said as she looked up ancient Egyptian prophesies. "There has to be something in here to tell us how to destroy them."

"We should have killed Atemu when we had the chance." The man growled flicking through a book on ancient curses.

"yes but you know we couldn't do that, They both have to be destroyed to break the prophesy. One cannot die unless they both die. They also both have to be sixteen. The leukemia would have killed Yugi and then we could have got Atemu but that stupid Kaiba Corp. president just had to be friends with Yugi and make an appeal didn't he? Our well-laid plans are ruined but no worries there has to be another way to destroy them both we just have to be patient and wait. The only thing that will be able to stop us is if they find the puzzle but that is safely hidden away and will not be found."

The man nodded in agreement and both of them resumed searching the papers and books for a way to destroy the twins and prevent the prophesy from coming true. He picked up a piece of ancient parchment and began to read;

One spirit with two sides,

One light and one dark,

The birth of this spirit in two halves

Will stop the evil set to destroy this world.

The man put the parchment down and frowned. They knew for certain that Yugi and Atemu were the ones in the prophesy, and all their plans were set to be ruined unless they could do something.

The evil they knew had to come.

It had promised them power unimaginable.

Unawares of the people plotting their destruction, Yugi and Atemu slept on…
