Warnings:

I am going to be using the dub names, mainly because I'm used to calling them by those names, sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone, sorry again. Bakura (Yami Bakura) has come back because he was given a second chance at a happy life, and Seto Kaiba is not as annoyed by them anymore, since Egypt, you could say he is an acquaintance of theirs'. What else, oh yeah, Ryou and Bakura are in separate bodies. There will be OC's (original Characters) in this fic; I may also forget a few of the people because there are so many remember you have been warned of my forgetfulness. Alright, this is like a little spin off of my first fic, Neveralone, it's set a few days afterward, if you didn't read it, you won't be to lost but reading it could help.

Summary: Its been five millennia since the Evil One's destruction, now that she has returned it's up to the gang with old friends and new to stop her. And who's to say that love wont blossom along the way.

The loud humming of the release bell rang throughout the courtyard of Domino Junior High, with the occupants of said school rushing off its grounds for the freedom of the outside world. The teens to be collected themselves into the cliques of their developing social society, some spreading rumors of teachers and other peers as they walked home. However, our group of seven pre-teens had far more interesting things to discuss about on the way home.

"I'm bored…" droned Mokuba stuffing his hands into his pockets.

Then again, maybe not….

"Are we there yet?" asked Mika.

"No…. stop complaining we'll be at the café in a minute…" answered Brit.

"Why are you in such a hurry to get back anyway… are you that bored?" asked Serenity.

"No… I just want to change out of this stupid uniform as soon as possible…." said Mika with a glare, making the others sweat drop.

As they continued walking, they could not help but notice a member of their group was missing. A certain sand haired pre-teen was staring, in a zombie like state, at a T.V. in an electronic store, making the others sweat drop in a mixture of embarrassment and astonishment.

"Whitney... hurry up… we gotta get back to the café…" said Rebecca.

The Light Warrior did not move.

"Whitney! What is so interesting that you can't take your eyes off it!?" questioned an annoyed Brit, screaming at her sister.

Still she did not respond.

"Grr… WHITNEY!" screamed Brit, the classic anime vein pounding at the side of his head.

"-sigh- I'm gonna get her before Brit explodes." said Kira, walking towards the entranced pre-teen. "Whitney… what are you…" said Kira before she to become entranced by the screen. "Guys… you'd better come see this…" said Kira.

The remaining pre-teens made their way to the others not quite sure what to expect when they reached the electric store window, only to find something shocking, yet not at the same time. A somewhat chubby man was seated behind a tall desk, and the words "Attack at High School" flashed across the bottom of the screen while a few pictures of the school flashed behind him.

"Today on the five o'clock news we have an urgent report regarding the monster disturbances; the recent attacks have become more frequent, including an attack upon Domino High School today just a few hours ago. According to eyewitness accounts, it was just a normal day at lunch when a type of blue tiger-like creature attacked the entire student body. Few members of the student and staff population were hurt, but many are now in a strange comatose state, from which they show no signs of waking. The school board thought that their students had sustained an excessive amount of trauma and released the remaining students from school early, bringing joy for their newfound freedom, and sorrow for the many peers that they lost to the student body. Exactly when Domino High will be up a running again is not a set date yet. How long will these creatures terrorize us? How long before we are all put into coma? What can possibly stop these monsters from destroying us all… that's all for this special report, stay tuned for the weather…" said the slightly pudgy man on the T.V. as it turned off.
"No way…" was all Rebecca could say.

"I hope that our brother is alright." said Kira.

"Don't worry… Atem can take care of himself… it's the others I'm worried about." said Mika.

"What's that supposed to mean? Do you think Seto can't defend himself?" asked Mokuba.

"Well… let's just look at their ranking shall we? My brother is a Pharaoh… while yours is a mere Priest." said Mika.

"That doesn't mean anything, Seto is still strong enough to care for himself." said Mokuba.

"Pssht… is not…" said Mika.

"IS TOO!" replied Mokuba.

"NOT!" said Mika.

"TOO!" replied Mokuba.

"Um… technically… they both have royal blood… Seto was our cousin remember Mika… and he did become Pharaoh after Atemu… so… they're both probably equally strong." added Kira.

"STAY OUT OF THIS!" commanded Mika and Mokuba as the two began to argue again.

"Guys… we really should get to the café… if they're alright they should be there…" said Serenity.

"SETO IS STRONGER!"

"ATEM IS!"

"Guys?" questioned Whitney.

"SETO!"

"ATEM!"

"They can't hear you over their own screaming." said Rebecca, the sweat drop at the side of her head growing.

"SETO!"

"ATEM!"

The two pre-teens continued to argue, the honor of their brother, as they said, hanging in the balance, all the while, the vein at the side of Brit's head continued to grow and pound faster and faster...

"WOULD YOU BAKAS SHUT UP! WHY DOES IT MATTER WHO'S STRONGER?! LET'S JUST GET TO THE CAFÉ TO SEE IF EVERYONE IS ALRIGHT!" screamed Brit.

"And what gives you the right to talk to me like…" began Mika.

"IF YOU ALL DON'T SHUT UP AND GET WALKING RIGHT NOW…" interrupted Brit.

The warrior of darkness did not need to finish for the entire group of pre-teens were now running towards the café, which wasn't to far from the school, the others would sure think again before starting an argument around Brit.

Back at the café…

"…After that he rode back to his kingdom with the crystals and put them with the other royal treasures still not knowing where they came from… and he continued his life not knowing… unaware of his fallen love and the many lives lost." said Joan, her hands clasped around the pink crystal hanging from her neck, a look of pure compassion clear on her face.

The teens were awestruck, and some of the girls even had tears in their eyes, so moved by the romantic tale, some daydreaming about themselves in the same position.

"So… he never remembered… that's so sad." said Flannery, tears forming in her eyes.

"But how could such a large battle go unrecorded? Surely someone must have known." said Bakura.

"No… apparently when the princes' memories were erased… so was everyone else's… and all that was left of the princesses kingdoms were buried in the sands, including their inhabitants, that is if any remained." said Joan.

For a time the teens remained silent either as if honoring those lost in the tale they had just heard, or simply at a loss for words, still, they remained silent, that is until the annoying sound of a cell phone irrupted their thoughts.

"Oh…. Sorry." said Joan, pulling out a pink cell phone from her purse. "Oh… ok… fine… I'll be right there." said Joan into the phone, only to hang-up soon later. "Sorry guys… I gotta go." said Joan walking towards the door.

The teens watched the blush-haired warrior, she nearly reached the door when it was slammed open by the pre-teens returning from school, bickering as usual, nearly hitting the poor shocked girl in the face if she had not backed out of the way.

"If Brit hadn't intervened, I would have so launched you into orbit." said Mika, glaring daggers at the raven-haired boy.

"Yeah right… you're lucky she ended it when she did… because I was about to win… because my brother is the strongest." said Mokuba, making Mika glare harder.

"They're at it again…" whispered Kira.

"He is so not! Atem is so much stronger!" replied Mika.

"Humph.. is not." said Mokuba.

-sigh- "Not again." said Rebecca, all while the other people in the room watched with growing sweat drops at the side of their heads.

"ATEM!"

"SETO!"

"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT ARGUING?!" screamed Brit, immediately shutting the two up.

It was then that the pre-teens noticed the other people in the room, the majority of which being their friends and family from the high school and one they had no knowledge of, and the acknowledgment that they had almost hit her with the door.

"Oh… sorry… I guess we weren't expecting anyone to be by the door…" apologized Serenity.

"Not a problem… I'm just lucky that I backed out of the way in time." said Joan. "I don't believe we've been introduced… I'm Joan, Warrior of Love, I'm new to the high school…. And I'm also running late… talk to you guys later!" said Joan with a wink as she left the café.

"Well… she seems nice…" said Whitney, smiling as usual.

"Though she seems to be a bit of an air-head." replied Brit.

A bit after Joan left people started pouring into the café, and things went on as usual, they had a day off from school tomorrow, except for the junior high kids, so there was no need to worry about homework. The teens remained at the café for a few more hours until it grew dark, a sign that it was time to go home. They left in groups mostly, first the Wheelers and Tristan, they lived close, the Bakuras and their two guests, Kisara and the Kaibas, Duke, and then Marik. The only ones that remained were the Motous, Rebecca, Flora, Sparks, Glacia, Tea, and Brit and Whitney, seeing as Rebecca was staying with the twins and Sparks was staying with Flora.

"Thank you have a nice night." said Glacia to the last customers as they left the café.

"Well… that's the last of them… guess it's time to close." said Flora turning the sign in the door.

"About time…. I was wondering if we'd ever get home." said Sparks with a yawn.

"Sorry." said Flora with a sweat drop.

"We're gonna go ahead and leave alright guys... seeing as we still have school tomorrow… unlike some people." said Brit.

"Ok… see you tomorrow." said Glacia as she and the others watched the three pre-teens leave.

"Well… you both have school tomorrow too… better get you home." said Yugi to the two tri-haired princesses.

"Fine… I was tired anyway." said Mika as she began to walk out the door.

As the three tri-haired youths walked out the door into the dark streets of Domino, a worried Kira turned to notice that a member of their family was not following.

"Big brother? Aren't you coming?" asked Kira.

"I'll meet you all back at the house, I'm going to walk Tea home, its dangerous letting her walk home by herself." said Atem.

"Alright." said Kira with a smile as she ran to catch up with the others.

"You guys can go ahead and leave…. Glacia and I need to clean up." said Flora.

"Alright if you say so…. bye guys… see you later!" said Tea as she and Atem left the small café.

The two teens walked hand-in-hand down the cold dark empty streets of Domino, with the dimly lit street lamps lighting their way. Both teens walking in silence, merely enjoying the quiet and their small bit of alone time with each other, that is until Atem noticed Tea shiver, she was still wearing her pink school jacket, but it was not as thick as his blue one, and her short school skirt was not helping.

"It's chilly tonight… would you like my jacket?" asked Atem only to be greeted with more silence. "Tea?"

"Huh? Did you say something?" replied Tea.

"I asked if you wanted my jacket." said Atem.

"Oh… no thank you." said Tea spacing out again.

The brunet's curt answer only made the worry within him to grow, the young ruler abruptly stopped walking and pulled his love close, lifting her chin so he could look at her with his hand.

"What's wrong?" asked Atem, concern clear in his voice.

Tea looked up, his deep red-violet eyes staring back into her crystal blue, she knew there was no way she could hide anything from him when he looked at her like that.

-sigh- "Nothing… I've just been really worried about… well… everything… and that tiger-thing didn't make it any better…" said Tea.

"You have nothing to fear… you should know by now that evil never wins." said Atem.

"Well you saying that doesn't help!" exclaimed Tea to Atem's surprise. "Sorry… it's just… I almost lost you the other day… I-I thought I was going to lose you… I've never felt so helpless..." said Tea, shaking from both the cold and fear, tears pouring from her closed eyes.

She never felt so cold, so shattered, she just wanted to cry, why was all this happening to the people she cared about, and why could she not do anything about it? The azure-eyed teen felt as if she was falling into a shadowy void, unable to breathe, freezing from the total lack of light, wishing, hoping she could feel the warm light again. It was then that she felt it, a warm feeling inside, she slowly opened her eyes only to quickly widen them moments later. The source of the feeling, the young pharaoh had embraced her in a comforting hug resting his own head against hers, she could hear his heartbeat again, oh, how she loved that sound. Tea tilted her head to look into his red-violet ones, her eyes still slightly teary and blush beginning to form on her pale cheeks.

"Just let it out… I understand… I know… this is all so hard for you… a kindhearted person such as yourself… you must hate all of this fighting." said Atem. "Just know… I will always be there for you… to protect you… to comfort you… to love you." said Atem, a warm smile on his face as he looked into her eyes.

She could not control herself any longer, letting her emotions take control, the teen wrapped her arms around her beloved's neck pulling him into a deep passionate kiss. And there they stood, in the dim light of the street lamps, not sure of what tomorrow would bring, only that they would always be together, and nothing would ever change that.

Meanwhile, in the dark lair of the Monster Queen, one of her servants was delivering the news of the newest warrior's appearance, not an easy task.

"So the last warrior has appeared?" questioned the Queen twirling with Aussa's staff in her hand.

"Yes your Highness… the Warrior of Love." said Witch's Apprentice with a bow.

"Hum… no matter… everything shall still go according to my plan." said the Queen with a slight smirk.

"Plan your Highness?" questioned Witch's Apprentice.

"Nothing you need to worry about… just prepare the next monster and get out of my sight… I need to be left alone." said the Queen, glaring at the red-headed monster.

"Yes… of coarse your Highness." said Witch's Apprentice, bowing as she left the room.

"Yes… it's only a matter of time…hehehehe…" said the Queen, her evil smirk widening as the shadows around her grew, and her crimson eyes glowing in the darkness.
