Chapter 4

Yugi woke and felt Atemu's arms about him. He snuggled into them contentedly glad that they had finally got together and also glad that Anzu was out of the picture. He never would have guessed she would have turned out to be so evil just because she wanted Atemu to love her. But how could he have loved someone who wanted to murder one half of his soul? He didn't understand it.

While he was thinking he felt Atemu stir and wake up his arms holding Yugi closer to himself.

"Mmm morning aibou." Atemu murmured kissing Yugi's hair softly. Yugi giggled.

"Come on Atemu we have to get up there's a new card store opened that I want to check out."

Atemu sighed wishing that they could just stay there all day. Yugi disentangled himself from Atemu's possessive arms and got dressed while the other watched him reluctantly.

"Come on Atemu get up." Yugi said and without warning whipped the covers off Atemu making him shiver in the sudden chill.

"Argh! Aibou that's not fair." Atemu protested and got off the bed knowing he would lose this battle if he tried to grab the covers again. He got dressed quickly and together the two of them went down for breakfast.

After they were finished eating, they washed up and grabbing their coats they headed out of the door to go to the new shop Yugi had talked about.

The shop was quite a way off on the other side of the city so they caught a couple of buses to get there.

Once there they browsed the aisles looking at the various new cards that the store had got in for the opening.

"Hey Atemu look at these cards." Yugi said as he spotted some good ones. He picked up two and held them up for Atemu to see.

"What have you found aibou?"

"Asanashia The Dark Sorceress. She looks a bit like the Dark Magician Girl in what she's wearing and look if you have this card 'Gate of Morki' you don't need to sacrifice in order to summon her to the field. You reckon she would be good in our deck?" Yugi said feeling pleased with himself.

"It looks like a good addition to our deck lets get them and try it out next time we have a duel."

"How about you duel me later?" Yugi said eagerly. "Just to try her out then we can challenge someone else."

"Good idea aibou we'll duel when we get home."

They took their purchases to the counter and paid. On the way home Yugi took the monster card out and had a close look at it.

"Hey Atemu do you think this monster looks a bit like Anzu?" He said and Atemu had a good look himself.

"Well maybe it does a bit. Maybe we're just imagining things because of what happened."

"Yeah maybe…" Yugi said feeling a little unsure. The monster did seem to have Anzu's face but that was impossible she was dead and could never hurt either of them again.

When they got home they went up to their room and Atemu got out the small holographic Duel Monsters arena that was Kaiba Corps newest invention so that people could have small table top duels in their own homes. It fitted nicely onto a tabletop and was ideal for use instead of the Duel Disks.

They both got out their decks Atemu having won the toss for the new cards, added them into his deck and they say opposite each other.

"Let's duel!" They both said and drew five cards each.

"I'll go first." Yugi said and he drew a card. "I place a card face down and summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode." He said and the monster came to life though it was quite small.

"My turn." Atemu said and noticed that he had drawn both the Gate of Morki and Asanashia in his first hand but he decided not to play them yet.

"I place a card face down and summon Dark Blade in attack mode. Now Dark Blade attack!"

Yugi's monster fell under the attack and Yugi found himself three hundred Life Points down.

He drew a card and placed one face down in defence ending his turn.

Atemu drew and decided now was the time to play his new cards.

"I play Gate of Morki which allows me to summon Asanashia the Dark Sorceress straight to the field! Now my Sorceress attack…" Atemu trailed off as the card on the field activated but what came forth was no small monster at the two had been expecting but was much larger and seemed to jump from the card. Yugi and Atemu watched in shock as the 'monster' jumped to the floor and became as big as they were. She stood up and the two of them gasped.

"Aibou you were right." Atemu whispered as both of them recognised Anzu standing in front of them dressed as a monster with a staff in her hand that was pointing directly at Yugi.

"Hello boys." She hissed. "You managed to kill me once but just before I died I went to the Shadow Realm where a good friend helped me out with a certain dilemma I have. He made me a Duel Monster so I could return to this world. That card you played grants me my own body but now I have powers too!" She laughed then and Atemu grabbed the Gate of Morki card from the field.

"Not if it's torn up its magic won't work." Atemu said but before he could tear it up Anzu fired her staff at him making him fly across the room where he crashed into the wall.

"Atemu!" Yugi yelled and was relieved to see his koi moving.

"Shut up Yugi." Anzu said nastily and held up the stone around her neck. A beam of light shot from the stone hitting Yugi square in the chest. He stumbled and fell screaming as he felt his very soul being ripped from his body.

"ATEMU!" he screamed as the last of his soul was drained into the stone and his body lay limp and lifeless on the floor.

Atemu saw the scene unfold before him in horror. He was too weak to move after crashing into the wall and so he could do nothing to save his koi.

"Aibou…" He choked as a sob came forth from his throat somewhere and Anzu rounded on him.

"Now that he is out of the way, you will be free to love me like you always should have been." Anzu said sounding very evil but Atemu stared at her defiantly.

"I will never love you, I hate you, you hear me? I HATE YOU!" He yelled the last phrase and tried again to get up and reach Yugi's body where it lay.

"What have you done to him?" He growled and Anzu smiled sweetly.

"Oh just stolen his soul for the one who helped me. He gave me this stone and said when I used it Yugi would lose his soul and you'd be free for me to have."

"Well you can't have me. I don't want you and I'll never forgive you." Atemu said his voice low and dangerous.

"Well my love you seem to be at a disadvantage don't you? You see I have power and you don't so I suggest you do what I say."

Atemu knew she was right but he needed to bide her time so he could think of a plan.

In the Shadow Realm Sammoru was busily binding Yugi's soul into a prison where it would remain until he chose to release him. Yugi would be aware of what was happening but be unable to do anything about it. His handiwork complete, Sammoru looked at the stone he had given Anzu and growled.

"Too slow my little love-struck flower. Hurry up and kiss him because as soon as you do the pharaoh's soul will be mine and you will be condemned to wonder the Shadow Realm forever!" He gloated as he watched Atemu trying to resist Anzu's advances on him.

He was close so close he could almost taste it.

Atemu was staring fearfully at Anzu as she bore down on him threateningly.

"Kiss me Atemu, I want you." Anzu was saying as she moved closer to him and Atemu tried to scoot away from her but she held her staff out threateningly.

"Do as I say damn you!" Anzu said and pounced on him.

Sammoru watched as Anzu's lips locked with Atemu's. Leaping up he yelled.

"IT IS TIME!" and released his magic that would steal Atemu's soul from his body through Anzu's kiss.
