Sorry for not updating since June of 2014! Life's been hectic and Internet access is sporadic.

Yugi: I'm sure that your readers will understand.

I hope so because I'm just going to post what all I can and then go back and add all the breaking lines later.

Malik: Sounds good to me.

Malik was furious that Yugi had all of his games and comics taken away as punishment for breaking the rules. He glared at the foot of his bed. Suddenly, the bedspread caught fire near the foot of the bed. He cried out in shock as he quickly put the flames out, but as soon as he finished another fire started on the desk. Malik put it out as well, but the smoke detector in the hall sounded. Atem rushed from Yugi's room to find out what set it off.

Solomon and Paige had been on their way to check on the boys when they heard the alarm sound from the hallway. Paige was the first there out of the pair. She paled when she saw the Malik sobbing and the various piles of smoldering items in his room. Thinking quickly, Paige carefully sat on Malik's bed and pulled him into her lap, whispering soothing words to the upset Supernatural. Malik sniffled as he wept, but there were no new fires. As Paige soothed her former charge, she looked around his room at the burned spots and tried to figure out what had happened.

Solomon didn't know what to say when he looked at Malik's room. All he could think about was that his Binding might have worn off. It was supposed to last at least ten years after the death of the witch that bound his power. He had it done because he had discovered that his grandson's twelve-year-old friend had accidentally set fire to a counter after a particularly bad run-in with a bully. The poor boys had just said good-bye to Paige as she had moved out on her own when the emotional strain proved to be too much for him. Solomon informed Ishizu who, in turn, had called an old friend who offered to bind the abilities before something bad came of it.

The friend had to explain that Malik was a Firestarter and that there would be Demonics after the boy when they found out that there was an unBound pyrokenetic running about. Ishizu decided to go through with Binding the fire power for her brother's safety. Apparently that friend had long since passed and now that Malik was emotionally upset, his powers were surfacing in spurts.

Malik looked up as his tears subsided, "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."

"I know," Atem replied as he swept the ashes off the desk. "Grandfather and Ishizu already informed me that you had a sealed ability. Just keep calm and try not to get mad at anyone until your friend Paige can contact someone that she thinks might be able to help you."

Malik sniffled, "I'll try."

"That's good." Atem gave the Hikari a quick hug, "I need to check on Yugi before he wakes up alone."

Yugi woke as his twin entered the room, but Atem noticed that his eyes had a far-away look. He watched as Yugi began crying and rubbing at his wrist. "No," Yugi whimpered, "I can't get the blood off. Why can't I get it off!? WHY!?"

Atem reacted quickly and grabbed Yugi's hand gently, "Yugi, wake up. You're fine. There's no blood. You're not hurt, Yugi. Please wake up."

The glazed look faded from Yugi's eyes as he was snapped from the terrifying vision. "Yami? I'm scared." The small angelic vampire sobbed as Atem pulled him into a hug.

"My poor brother," Atem soothed Yugi's frazzled nerves. "I'm sorry that we never addressed your issues like we did with Ryou and his greenhouse."

Irritated amethyst eyes looked up at him, "I didn't want to tell anyone about the memories of my 'First Days". I figured that the distractions would keep them buried. It's my fault, Yami."

Atem brushed Yugi's bangs from his face and gave him another long hug. Yugi kept crying and saying that he should have told the team.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Young One. I think I might have a few solutions," Atemu stated as he entered the room. He sat in the single chair, "Akefia has the ability to alter or remove a certain memory. He will aid you with your 'First Days' and help you recover from them. As for your games and things, I will return them to you by the end of the day. I apologize for removing them the way I did."

LINE
Akefia pulled back as the grey glow faded from his hands, "Ra! That boy has had so many things traumatize him in his short lifespans. Nobody mention his 'episode' unless you want to deal with a Living Doll for anywhere between a week to a year. Trust me, it's not fun. So if anyone does this to the Young One, I'll personally make his condition seem like a walk in the park. Let him come to you about things like this."

Atemu gently picked up the sleeping Hikari and carried him to an empty couch to sleep the rest of Akefia's spell off. "I'm going to put Yugi's things back where they belong. Ryou, Malik. You boys are relieved of your punishments from me, but you still have to complete the ones given by Atem. Retrieve your things and go to your rooms before Yugi awakens from his slumber."

Akefia sat guard over the sleeping Hikari, keeping curious guests from getting too close to the little Supernatural. He refused to let up even after the Demon-bred vampires woke from their daytime slumber. The one called Spike cautiously approached the older vampire, "What's with the kid?"

"He needed help forgetting something, I helped him forget," Akefia stated. "He's fine, just sleeping now."

"Sounds like the most-feared Akefia has a soft spot," Spike taunted lightly.

Akefia glared at the vampire, "Do not test me, Child of the Night. As a Daywalker, I can end your existence as you 'sleep'."

Spike scoffed, "Daywalkers are a myth."

"We're not," the Daywalker retorted, "You met three when you stepped foot in the mansion. The Pharaoh, the Tomb-keeper, and myself; the Thief King. We may not be as our family of modern times, but we still have our souls."

Spike was stunned, "So what does that make the kids?"

"A class all their own," Akefia smugly. "We cannot fathom their distinctiveness as of yet. It appears that every time we think we've got them figured out, they prove us wrong."

As the Daywalker talked to Spike, Yugi stirred from his dreamless sleep. Spike noticed this and watched as unusual amethyst eyes cracked open. "Hey midget," Spike teased as Yugi woke up.

Akefia whacked Spike and glared at him, "Leave the Pharaoh's descendant alone, you insolent Demon-bred vampire!"

Akefia picked Yugi up from the couch as if he were a mere child and left the room.

Yami: So how many chapters are you posting?

Five.

Yami: I hope you're sure of the new chapters.
