Crash and Burn
Rating: PG-13 or T for now…
YAMI OR ATEM'S POV
Summary: Atemu now has his own body, but that doesn't mean he is happy about it. In fact, he is extremely lonely. Yugi and Tea are dating and he has no one. To make matters worse, the millennium puzzle is doing some strange things and causing weird and bizarre events to occur. Atem feels that he is putting everyone in danger so he runs away, meeting someone he never would have expected…

Wednesday Night….
Yugi told me that Wednesday is 'hump day'. I didn't get it. I thought he meant something gross, but it has a complete other meaning. Hump, like that on a hill or camel and once you are over the hump, you are halfway through the work week. I thought that was pretty neat. Yugi always knows these cool slang terms that I don't; like LOL, for example. I had no idea it meant Laugh Out Loud! Of course, I've only had this body for two weeks, so I am still adjusting and all.
"Atem?" That was Yugi, calling me down for dinner or something.
"Yes?" I walk down the steps to the living room.
"Tell Grandpa I'll be back late."
I frown. "It's a school night, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Tea's…"
My eyes widened. "You mean, her house!"
"Yeah…"
"You can't!"
"And why not?"
"Grandpa will kill you!"
"Then don't tell him…"
I swallow hard and look at Yugi. Don't tell Grandpa? He wanted me to lie and cover for him so he could go and have 'fun' with some girl…? "But…You'll miss dinner."
"I'm not hungry."
"Yugi…"
"Atemu…"
I sigh. "Don't do anything stupid. And be back by 8."
" 8:00! Are you nuts? That gives me less then 3 hours! " Yugi cries.
"It's 8 or nothing." I fold my arms over my chest.
"I-I…" He growls. "Fine."
"Promise me."
"Ok. Ok. I promise I'll be home no later then 8."
I smile. "Good. Now go see Tea."
He nods and runs out the door. I'm alone again. I watch him from the window sprinting to Tea's house. He left me for a girl. Oh well, he's growing up. I knew this would happen and I'm happy for him…aren't I? Am I jealous? Me? Jealous? Nah…then what is this feeling that I feel? Maybe it's concern?
It's 8:30 now, and Yugi isn't home, yet. I can't believe how he makes me worry. He promised me that he'd come home by 8:00. I just hope he is alright.
Now it is 10:00…where in the world is he! Grandpa hasn't come yet either…I decide to dial Tea's house.
"Hello?" She says.
"Hi Tea…"
"Yami? What are you calling so late for is everything alright?"
"Is Yugi still there?"
"No…I thought he was with you. He left my house almost 2 hours ago."
I feel my stomach in my throat. "H-He hasn't come home yet…"
"Are you serious!"
"Y-Yes…Call Joey for me Tea and I'll get---"I stop. There's no one to notify. Grandpa isn't home either. He was supposed to be home at 7:00…
"I'm sure he's fine. Probably went to Joey's or Tristan's maybe." Tea says. She sounds as if she is trying to convince herself that Yugi is ok. "I'll check and call you back really soon." She hangs up and I look at the clock.
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock…I'm waiting for the pain to stop…

Well! IS THIS A GOOD START?
