I'm here to kick ass and chew gum…

It has been three weeks since Yami and Seto were put in the hospital. It has also been three weeks since Ria had appeared before Bakura. Everyone had come to see the two duelists.

The day after the "accident" Mai brought the class to see how everyone was doing. Mai was very sad. She even shed a few tears when she saw two of her friends in the hospital.

Duke had brought Grandpa, Rebecca, and Professor Hopkins from the airport. No one was happy. Tea came in bawling over the fact that Yami was hit. She did not care that Seto got hit as well (A.N. What a bitch. I would cry for both Seto and Yami.)

Valon, Alistair, and Rafael even came to see them. They had opened a motorcycle shop in Domino, in case you were wondering. They felt bad for the Pharaoh and the CEO.

Serenity was holding Mokuba as she rubbed circles on his back. He came to visit his brother and his koi everyday. He knew about their relationship and he thought it was cool. It was almost nine fifty. He fell asleep in Serenity's arms.

Bakura was still confused. Where did that girl come from and why did she look like the Pharaoh in a way? Bakura stood up and grabbed Malik. They exited the room.

"Bakura where the nine hells are you dragging me?" Malik said as Bakura dragged him by the arm. "We are here." Bakura said as he stopped. Malik looked into the room and saw a few vending machines.

"Hey, if you wanted a snack you did not have to bring me as well." Malik said as he began to walk back to the room.

"Malik. I want you to see this." Malik turned and almost fainted. Behind Bakura was a ghostly girl. She only stared into space. She walk, er… floated toward the scared sandy-blond.

She did the exact thing she did to Bakura. She put the images into his mind. He saw things that he had never seen before, but he felt like he had seen them.

He came back to his present time period. Ria stood their and looked at him then she turned to the Albino that was behind her.

"I will be back to save the life of my Pharaoh and Priest. When they wake tell them that the master of the shadows will protect them from the evil one, or the traitor as that person is called now. Good bye you two."

Ria vanished into thin air. Malik finally spoke. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" He yelled at Bakura.

……………………………

It has been three years since Seto came to live in the palace. He was friends to all five priests. He made the Pharaoh laugh when something would get him down.

And Seto made Atemu smile more than he use to. They had become the best of friends.

Seto's powers had become more powerful then before. And do have his feelings for the prince. Malik was his other best friend, can you believe it. Bakura was Atemu's other best friend, whoa!

Life at the palace was peaceful, until…

"Atemu! Atemu!" Yuga yelled as he ran into his brother's/Seto's room. They had been talking when Yuga came bursting in. "I have to go see what is so urgent. I'll be back Seto."

Atemu ran after his brother who ran into their father's chambers. Atemu stopped dead in his tracks. His father was in bed and was looking extremely pale and in pain.

Atemu walked up to his father's bedside and took one of the Pharaoh's hands into his own. "Father, you can't die. Please don't leave me and Yuga."

The Pharaoh looked up at his eldest son. He had a smile on his lips. "Atemu, I have some thing to tell you. Please tell it to your brother for me."

"I will father."

"I want you and Yuga to marry the one that your heart desires. I want you to marry Seto. I know that you love him with all your heart. And I want Yuga to marry Jono. He loves that blond. Please remember that I love both you and your brother. I will always be with you…"

"Father? Father, wake up!" It was no use, the Pharaoh had passed on. Atemu stood up and ran right out of the room.

Hot tears ran down his face. His father was healthy that morning. He had to have been poisoned. That must have been what caused him to become so ill in only a few hours.

Atemu ran into his room and stood in the door way. Seto looked up and saw that Atemu was looking at him with tears coming down his face.

Atemu walked to his bed and wrapped his arms around Seto. He was crying into his shoulder.

"Seto, my father has died." Atemu said through sobs.

Seto was surprised. He liked Atemu's father. Tears came down Seto's face as well. "I'm so sorry Atemu. Is there any thing I can do to help you?"

Before Seto knew it, his sapphire eyes came in contact with ruby eyes. "I know one thing that will help me."

"What is that Ate…" He never got to finish his question. Atemu had placed his lips on to Seto's lips. They both melted into the kiss. Atemu licked the bottom lip of Seto.

He was looking for a way into the brunet's mouth. He let Atemu's tongue in with out complaining. He kiss would have lasted longer, if not for the fact that people have to breath sooner or later.

Atemu turned away from his blue-eyed friend. "I'm sorry; I don't know what came over me." He felt Seto place his hand on his face. Seto turned his head so blue met red.

"I love you Atemu."

"I love you to Seto. I was afraid that you only wanted to be my friend."

"Same here."

The two boys looked at each other and then they kissed again. Atemu had the sweet taste of a strawberry, while Seto had a flavorful taste of blueberry.

After three years, they finally found out how they other one felt about him.

……………………………

Back into the present, at that moment a doctor lost his wrist watch inside of a sewn up patient.

Bakura and Malik walked back into the room. They came back with a few sodas for those who were still awake.

Malik was still a little confused by the appearance of that strange girl and who was this "master of the shadows?"

Bakura wanted to know who the "traitor" was and what was he or she going to do? And what if this person was the cause of the hit and run?

The handed out the sodas and sat down. They did not notice the pair of dark magenta eyes that watched them from the shadows. They weren't the only pair, red, blue, light purple and chocolate eyes watched as well.

Bakura brought up an interesting question that has nothing to do with the story but I wanted him to ask it.

"What do you think the put in bug juice?"

Joey, who hasn't said anything in a while answered. "Bugs."

"No they don't! No way, you are so wrong."

TBC

But I'm all out of bubble gum!

Can anyone guess where I got that question from? I thought it would be funny to put it in there some where.

My two witty lines are the most famous lines that Seto Kaiba says it the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh.

Ria: You will all soon find out who Ria is and who owns those red, blue, light purple, and chocolate eyes. No, they are not Yami, Seto, Malik, or Bakura. Dr. Shrier was the doctor from chapter nine and ten by the way.

Ria: Review or will make what ever you eat taste like a pig, even pig itself!
