THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!

IMPORTANT NOTE: LAST CHAPTER I TYPED THIS: "Go ahead." She whispered. "I belong to you…" She licked his stomach gently. "And no one else's'." As much as Atem wanted it, he couldn't. He just couldn't. He told his body to stop but it didn't listen. Lieren pulled off Atem's tunic as Atem undid her skirt…

Lieren IS NOT IN THIS STORY! THE GIRL IN ATEMU'S PAST IS MARIE! LIEREN WAS MEANT TO BE MARIE! I'M SO SORRY FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDING! I'M JUST A DUMB CRAZY BLONDE!

This print means regular…

This means a flashback or memory…

Can't find Tea…

"I can't find her anywhere guys!" Yugi said with a sigh. "I'm really starting to worry…"

"I'm sure she's fine, Yuge."

"Yeah, she's probably off somewhere with the pharaoh right now." Tristan sat on a tree stump. Yugi chuckled.

"I hope they aren't doing anything!"

"Well, Atem doesn't like her that way, does he?"

Yugi shrugged. "He doesn't tell me that kind of stuff…" He looked down at his hands folded on his lap. "In fact, we barely talk at all…unless it's about dueling or some egotistical manic that wants our puzzle to help destroy the world!" He made a fist loosely. "It pisses me off! Yami…I mean Atemu used to be so close with me! He was just opening up and now…" He sighed and hung his head. "I don't know what or how he feels about anything."

Joey put a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "That's just his way Yuge." He smiled. "He's the Pharaoh! He's a mature gentle man with a manly status." He puffed out his chest which caused Yugi to laugh. Joey exhaled and laughed too. "He doesn't like to express his feelings Yuge. That's all. You shouldn't get all bent up over it…" Yugi smiled.

"Thanks Joey, "He stood and looked up at the cloudy sky. "And you're right."

Joey folded his arms just like Atem always did. "Of course I am." He nodded his head. "I'm the great Joey and I'm always right!"

Tristan rolled his eyes and gave Joey a shove. Joey teetered awkwardly, trying not to fall on his face. "Watch it man, I can only take so much of your genius a day, so go back to being dumb for us, why don't ya?"

Joey wasn't pleased but let it slide. "I'll let you get off this time, but push me again and I'm kicking your ass!" He made a fist and shook it as Tristan ran in circles trying to hide from Joey's wrath. Yugi just kept laughing at the two. He knew he should probably break it up, but it was entertaining to watch! And it's not like there was any cable or internet where they were…Hell, they didn't even know WHERE they were!

"So her name was Marie?"

"Yes."

"Well, the man in my dreams never told me his name…"

"Are you sure?"

"Hmmm…I'm sorry, Atem. But I can't remember him ever saying who he was."

"Huh. I see…."

"Why does it matter anyway?" She sighed. "I'm going to be dead in less then five days!"

"Liana?"

"Yeah."

"What color were his eyes?"

Liana shrugged. "I never saw his eyes. They were always covered in shadow…"

"I see…"

"Urrg! Will you stop saying 'I see'!"

Atem's eyes widened.

"Will you stop saying 'I see'!"

"Why?"

"It makes you sound like a psychiatrist or something!"

"So…It makes me sound smart?"

"No way! Just extra annoying!"

"Atemu? Are you ok?"

"Yes…."

"I'm sorry I can't tell you more—"

Suddenly, smoke filled the skies above them. It smelled like oil and fire…
