Chapter 12- Night's curse

"Yugi there is something we need to talk about." Yugi glanced over at his grandfather; confused.

"Huh…a-about what grandpa?" he asked, feeling sweat begin to form over his forehead.

"About your new friend," he started, his eyes not even looking at Yugi, both of them directed fully on the road. "I think…he's not human." Yugi blinked and stared.

"W-what do you mean?" he exclaimed, trying to cover over his relief that his grandfather didn't sense his attraction to Atemu. Serena peeked her head in the front.

"Sugoroku…so do you really think that it's true?" she asked the elderly one. Sugoroku nodded.

"I know that last name…' Akashi …Atemu Akashi …'" he sighed and glanced over at Yugi. "Yugi, your friend is...from what I can gather by his last name and just searching him…that he's a dragon," he explained. "The Akashi family is wide ranging and quite well known in the dragon clan. The dragons are not all related, but the Akashi family one of the few pure blood dragon family left," he said. Yugi stared.

"So…wait, grandpa," he waved his hands. "If he's a dragon, wouldn't there we some kind of indication on his human form that shows that he is…in fact a dragon?" he bellowed. Sugoroku nodded.

"Yes. But…I think he was covering it up somehow…Yugi you mustn't talk to this man ever again, you hear me." Yugi stared.

"B-but grandpa…" he started, voice shaky. "He…he's really a nice person! Him being a dragon couldn't affect us being friends…" he took a glance to Serena. "That much." Sugoroku sighed.

"Yugi…I know I never told you this but we (mages) don't have a very good relationship with the dragons," he said, eyes stern. Yugi turned and looked out the window.

"You never told me anything…" he muttered, eyes darkening. Sugoroku looked over at his grandson and sighed.

"It's because you don't need to kno-"

"I don't need to know, I-don't-need-to-know?" Yugi screamed. Serena jumped at the snappiness in Yugi's voice and Sugoroku stared. "Don't you give me that shit grandpa, I've KNOWN that there is some special thing about me! Being the youngest in our family, that stupid prophecy that you just happen to never tell me about! And it does have something to do with me! I may not know what it is, but I do know it has something to do with me ok!" he yelled. Sugoroku still stared, shocked.

"Yugi…" the shock-ness faded and he turned back to the road. "Well I did it for a reason."

"And to all the gods above, what reason could that be!" Yugi bellowed, fists shaking in anger. Sugoroku's expression didn't change.

"…This conversation is done, you will not speak of what we just spoke of again," he stated clearly. Yugi glared and then sunk down into his seat.

"Fuck you…" he muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Sugorku asked, anger hitting on his face. Yugi glared up at him.

"Nothing," he drawled out like poison. The elder one turned back to the road.

"That's what I thought," he said. Yugi blew a bang out of his face and turned to look out the window. The rest of the car ride went in silence…what a way to end an actually good day. Yugi glared out the window and then turned to his grandfather.

"Do we have to go out to eat?" he asked after the drawn out silence. Sugoroku glared down at his grandson.

"Yes…and why would you ask such a question?" he asked. Yugi shrugged.

"No reason…I just don't want to go…" he muttered. His grandfather glared again.

"Why not?" he asked. Yugi shrugged.

"No real reason…" he said.

'Because I don't want to look at you fucking face for two hours….' He added as an afterthought. Sugoroku blinked and then sighed.

"Fine then Yugi…you don't' want to go…" he suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road and turned to his grandson. "You can get out." Serena stared.

"What? But we're going for Yugi, if he's not there…" she trailed off. Yugi looked over at his grandfather. Opening the door, he walked around the car and got his instrument. Coming back to the passenger door, he glared at Sugorku.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he said icily and slammed the door shut. Sugoroku immediately started up the car and drove away. Serena looked back at Yugi and the turned to Sugoroku.

"Sugoroku…why do you always do that?" she asked, moving up front. "You always get into fights, I mean why don't you just tell him?" she asked. The elderly one sighed.

"If I do, he's bound to go through with it…and that stupid prophesy has never come true. And those who tried to go through with it always died…none have succeeded…I don't want Yugi to fail like they did…" Serena sighed.

"But Sugoroku, maybe he's right for this!" she exclaimed. The man shook his head.

"I will not risk it," he said. Serena stared at him, and then sighed.

"Mommy…." Serena blinked and turned to her daughter. She was rubbing her eyes tiredly, like she just woke up. "Where did Uncle Yugi go…?" she asked. Serena smiled.

"Uncle Yugi won't be coming with us today Anakai…" she explained to the girl. Anakai stared and then frowned.

"Ok…"

(w/ Yugi)

Yugi glared at the back of the car as it drove away.

'Good riddance…' he thought, placing his backpack over his shoulder and grabbing his violin. Then he stopped.

"Wait…I'm…ah god damnit!" he screamed, stopping his foot. "I'm no where NEAR my dorm! If I try to walk there, it'll take over two hours! Geez grandpa the least you could do was drop me off near a bus stop or something!" he bellowed, dropping his violin and sitting down on the ground. He dug into his backpack and found his cell.

'I hope Atemu isn't doing anything…' he thought as he dialed the other's number. Holding it up to his ear, he listened for the dial tone. Soon, a voice came on.

"Hello, Atemu speaking," came the tired voice on the other line. Yugi grinned.

"Um, hi Atemu, it's me, Yugi," he said. He heard a stifled yawn and a chuckle.

"Yugi, I thought you were going off to dinner," he exclaimed. Yugi rolled his eyes.

"No…look, can you give me a ride back to my dorm?" he asked. He heard Atemu make a questioning sound.

"Huh…but what about your grandpa?" he asked. Yugi glared at the ground.

"We got into a fight and I got out of the car…"

"While it was moving?" Atemu screamed. Yugi groaned.

"No not while it was moving!" he bellowed. "What do you think I am, a idiot?" Silence met this remark. Yugi blinked and sighed dryly. "Ya know what, don't answer…anyway, can you just come and pick me up…please? I promise I will explain all later. Just…pick me up…please?" he pleaded. He heard a chuckle.

"I will I will, just make sure you keep up what you just said hikari," he said with a chuckle. Yugi rolled his eyes.

"Fine fine I will. Look I'm at an intersection of Leonard and Knap ok? You know where that is?" he asked. He heard an "hmm" and then a laugh.

"Yup I know! I'll leave right now…just don't move!" he said. Yugi rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, I know. See ya in a few, bye," he said.

"Ditto," Atemu said back and the line went dead. Yugi closed the phone and leaned up against a lamppost.

"Well…lets just hope Atemu gets here soon…" he muttered.

'It couldn't get any worse…' Yugi thought sighing. Suddenly, a car sped by him, hitting a puddle…and of course splashing him. Yugi closed his eyes as the muddy water hit him and opened them.

"Damn….it…" he ground out. Glancing over at the car, he narrowed his eyes, letting out a pulse of magic. In a mere second…the car was no more and nor was the man inside. Luckily, Yugi wasn't a fan of messy stuff, so he muttered out a spell that brought the car into another dimension. Wiping the stuff off his face and cloths, Yugi sighed once again.

'Not to self…never say those five words again…' he muttered. Leaning back against the post again, he let out his magic and cleaned up all the mud from his cloths.

"Man I should have changed out of my dressy stuff…" he shrugged. "Ah oh well," he muttered. Yugi sighed and closed his eyes, trying to at least rest a bit or so before Atemu came. He fidgeted and then opened his eyes.

'Ah I can't sleep…wait,' he glanced up to be seeing multiple teens surrounding him. Yugi blinked and felt his angering mood deepen quite a lot at this moment. The one bully grinned, cracking his knuckles.

"Well lookey here boyz, we found ourselves a little musical runt," he began to laugh. Yugi rolled his eyes and stood. He began to walk over to his instrument and pick it up when a big arm stopped him. Yugi looked up at the thug.

"What do you want?" he asked dryly. The bigger one laughed, rising up a fist. Yugi sighed.

'Just what I need…some bastard who want to bully me…' he rammed his knee into the others stomach. Smiling, he then took out his iPod and turned it on.

"Can't go beating up a gang without a little music…" he laughed and then jumped back just as a bully launched at him with his eyes closed. Yugi opened them and then his grin widened.

"Oh this is a good song!" he exclaimed, humming along. The lead bully glared.

"Are you making fun of us bastard?" he screamed. Yugi laughed.

"No, but what's wrong with likening a little music?" he asked, moving in rhythm to it. The bully growled.

"Get him!" he ordered. All five of them launched toward Yugi at once. Violet eyes narrowed.

"Common now, you could at least go to the rhythm…" he muttered, stepping back and kneeing the first one in the chin. He jumped and placed his hands on the cement and flipped. Landing swiftly, he saw that none of them had given up. Yugi groaned and then smirked. Muttering a small spell, he allowed a dark, black like fog to cover them.

"H-Hey, what's going on?" one screamed. Yugi smiled and launched out some of his magic at all of them. He heard a shout of surprise and then…nothing. The smoke cleared and none of the bullies were around for miles. Yugi brushed his hands against one another and then sat down again.

"Tch, that was fun…" he muttered. Suddenly, a chuckle met his ears.

"My my Yugi, seems you're just attracting bad news today!" Yugi looked up to see Atemu's car and Atemu standing outside it. "Common Yugi, get inside and I'll take ya home," he said. Yugi nodded, grabbing his stuff and placeing them in the back. Hopping into the car, he put his seat belt on and sighed.

"…So, what did happen between you and your grandpa?" Atemu asked, starting up the car. Yugi groaned.

"He knows you're a dragon…" he muttered. Atemu froze and turned to Yugi slowly.

"H-He…he what!" Atemu screamed. "He knows about me…he, but how?" he yelled in question. Yugi sighed.

"Your last name, he searched your body too. My grandfather is an excellent reader of people…ah, I should have known this would have happened," Yugi muttered, shaking his head. Atemu sighed and turned the car around, driving them back toward the university.

"So…" he started. "What did you grandpa have to say about it?" he asked. Yugi shrugged and looked out the window.

"That I'm not supposed to see you anymore…" he muttered. Atemu grinned.

"Yugi, you broke one of his rules already," he said with a chuckle. Yugi nodded.

"I sure did…" he muttered. Atemu glanced over at him, worry on his face.

"So, was it that bad?" he asked. "Your fight I mean." Yugi glanced up at his counterpart.

"Same as we usually get into…he never tells me stuff…" he glanced out the window, anger written all over his face. "He never tells me anything!" he bellowed. Yugi suddenly felt Atemu tense at his loud tone, and he quieted. "Sorry…it's just he doesn't…seems that my family and yours don't have a very good relationship too…" he muttered. Atemu chuckled.

"Seems that way," he said. Yugi nodded.

"And I just can't stand him sometimes…" he muttered. Atemu frowned and glanced over at Yugi again.

"Yugi…" he paused. "You sure you want to go back to your dorm tonight?" he asked. Yugi blinked and looked up at the dragon.

"Huh…where else could I go?" he asked. Atemu shrugged, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel.

"We could hangout awhile…I know it's late but…" he glanced at Yugi quickly. "I just want to help," he added in a low tone. Yugi couldn't help but smile.

"That actually sounds nice Atemu…where though?" he asked. Atemu smiled and suddenly took a sharp turn.

"The beach," he said. Yugi blinked questionably.

"And what are we going to do at the beach?" he asked, a grin on his face. Atemu smiled.

"Fly."

It took around another 15 minutes to get down to the water, but they finally made it. Since it was so late, there was no one around…well or so they thought. Atemu drove his car into a parking lot and got out. Yugi followed suite. Suddenly, in not even a second that they had been out of the car, Atemu transformed. Yugi couldn't help laugh as the dragon arched his back and stretched.

--Man, being in human form for so long-- he stretched his wings. --Feels nice to be like this again-- he opened his eyes and glared mockingly at Yugi. --So, want a ride?-- he asked with a chuckle. Yugi rolled his eyes and walked over to the dragon. Placing his hand on Atemu's forehead, he pets it. The dragon closed his eyes and pushed back against the flesh. Yugi grinned.

-Sure- he answered to Atemu's previously asked question. Atemu opened his eyes, then suddenly his body froze. Eyes flickering behind Yugi, he let out a low snarl. Yugi turned to look behind himself to see…no one. Yugi raised an eyebrow in question.

-Atemu, I don't' see anyone…- he muttered. Atemu didn't answer but walked forward and poked his nose into the bushes. A gasp of surprise met Yugi's ears as a woman jumped out of the bushes.

"Serena?" he screamed in surprise. Serena blinked and grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry to follow you Yugi, but I was worried," she said. Yugi nodded, but suddenly noticed…or heard growling. He glanced over at Atemu to see him bent down in a fighting like stance. He was looking away from Serena and Yugi, crimson eyes ablaze.

--Looks like you were followed…-- he growled. Yugi blinked and looked down Atemu's line of vision to see…

"Serena, you didn't even notice dragons were following you…" he muttered dryly. Serena glanced over at him, worry on her face.

"I…I never checked to see if I was being followed…I was just trying to keep up with you two," she whispered. Yugi nodded and breathed in deeply.

-Oi Atemu, how about a good ol' chase, sound good?- he asked with a smirk. Atemu couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

--Sounds like a plan-- he said with a grin. Immediately turning he shot forward toward Yugi and his aunt. Yugi immediately ran over to grab Serena's hand. Then running back, he reached out his right one, snatching Atemu's mane in his fingers. They were immediately lifted off the ground, not even fully on the dragon yet. Yugi taped into his magic and pushed upward to be straddling Atemu's back. He let go of Serena's hand and intertwined them in Atemu's long thick hair. Crimson demon eyes glanced up, humor in his gaze.

--Ah, you managed to not fall off!-- he said with a chuckle. He then glanced back at the dragons that took chase. --…My, wonderful…-- he muttered dryly. Yugi nodded.

"Indeed…so do you know why they're chasing us?" he asked. Atemu turned a corner to try and lose them.

--Well-- he let out an annoyed grunt as one dragon almost hit them with some magic. --This week's kinda our family…get together you could say. They've been trying to catch me and make me come back for years-- he snorted. --Tch, never got me yet, and I plan to keep it that way!-- he bellowed. Yugi laughed.

"Yugi, is it safe to be riding…him?" Serena asked warily, clutching Yugi's back and part of Atemu's mane. Yugi laughed more.

"Of course, are you scared he'll throw us off?" he asked, turning to her. Serena didn't answer. "Well he won't ok," Yugi reassured her. "But if you can't stay on while were flying straight, then you should take to flying yourself or something." Serena blinked and looked downward.

"I don't know if I can keep up with you all while using magic, I haven't perfected the Angel Wings spell yet, I just started working on it a few months ago…"

"Well perfect time to try it out, bye!" and at that said Yugi pushed his aunt off. The woman screamed, but then placed her hands together and shouted out the curse. Safire angel wings sprouted from her back and she flew up next to the pair.

"Yugi, that was completely uncalled for!" she screamed. Yugi and Atemu just laughed.

"Well you needed to try it out," he chuckled. Serena rolled her eyes and glanced back at the oncoming army.

"Well, I won't be able to stick around for fun cat and mouse games kids!" she said with a grin. Saluting to the too, she winked. "Good luck to ya!" And at that, she dived down and turned down an alleyway. Yugi then blinked.

"We're near tall buildings joy…" he muttered. Atemu laughed.

--Keep all parts inside the dragon!-- he chuckled. Yugi blinked and then felt his face flush.

"A-Atemu! Were about to be killed and all you can think of is THAT?" he screamed. Atemu laughed and gave an innocent look.

--Yuuugi, you think I was being dirty? I mean, if I was going to say something dirty, I would say all dragon stay insid-

Yugi cut him off.

-I've heard enough, heard enough!- he screamed. Atemu laughed loudly, but was suddenly cut short as a ball off fire blasted over them. Yugi reached up and touched the tips of his hair.

-They fuckin burned my hair off!- he screamed. Atemu glanced back.

--Not all of it-- he muttered. Yugi pouted.

-Yeah but it still got burnt, and burnt hair stinks!- he growled. Atemu rolled his eyes and took another sharp turn between two buildings. Yugi had to lean low to be able to not hit any of the things hanging up between the buildings or any other low things. Atemu suddenly shot upward, almost knocking Yugi off.

-Ah!- he gasped, gripping Atemu tighter. The dragon flew up, did an upside-down turn and shot off in the other direction. The dragons, of course, flew right out of the ravine and took chase once again. Atemu's happy-go-lucky mood decreased immensely as the other dragons kept up their chase. He tried many twists and turns to try and throw them off but none did. Some stunts he didn't dare do in the case that Yugi would fall off. He took another sharp turn through some streets and then over a building. He didn't want to be in a city but it was one of the better places to try and lose them. And it was past midnight; no one was up now! Atemu flew back over a building and then took a dive down. Waiting until the last second to shot up, he shot off from there over to the beach. Yugi kept glancing back at the dragons and down at Atemu. He was tiring, Yugi could tell. He was sweating and his breathing was irregular. Yugi petted his side, hoping that the one below him would be alright. And he could tell, even if Atemu didn't want to admit it, that he was panicking. All the places he went, he couldn't shake them off. Atemu's eyes were darting from side to side, trying to find a place where he could go. Finally, he decided on turning into a narrow ally, one that he could barley it through, so some of the dragons following them wouldn't even fit. Yugi felt Atemu breath a sigh of slight relief, being able to bid them some time. He slowed down slightly and then shot upwards.

-Think we lost them?- Yugi asked. Atemu was about to answer when suddenly…their way was blocked. The dragon let out a screech of protest and flapped his wings to bring him back down. He growled and turned to see his way that he came in…was blocked as well.

--Damnit, we're boxed in!-- he growled. Yugi looked around and glared. Looking up at the dragon blocking that path, he rose up on Atemu's back. Muttering an enchantment, he flung his hand out in front of himself, palm up. A yellow and orange fire appeared and his hand and launched at the gree dragon above them. It hit them square in the chest, the animal screeching in pain. Atemu knew what to do. He flapped his wings, and shot out of the ally right as the dragon was distracted. Shooting out of the area, he flew past the few dragons and tried to lose them again. Glancing back, he grinned.

--Ha, take that!-- he yelled.

-More watching, less gloating!- Yugi screamed. Atemu turned and let out a slight scream of surprise. Flapping his wings immensely, he attempted to slow down to a stop right before the hit the brick wall. Yugi glared down at him.

"Watch where you're going so we don't RUN INTO A FRIKEN BUILDING!" he screamed at the dragon with annoyance. Atemu let out a sheepish chuckle.

--Woops…-- he laughed. Yugi rolled his eyes and looked behind himself.

-Ok, I'll yell at you later, now GO!- he screamed. Atemu didn't need to be told twice. He flapped his wings and darted up into the sky. Yugi glanced behind himself and growled with annoyance.

-Do they ever give up?- He yelled. Atemu shot down toward the ground.

--No…-- he muttered, taking another sharp turn. The dragon then took flight up and spun in the air, trying to fly at them and the knock them off track. It gave them around 20 seconds of spar time. Yugi glanced back at the recovered dragons.

-They're still gaining…- he muttered. Thinking for a second, Yugi then began turning around on Atemu's back.

--Yugi, what are you doing?-- Atemu yelled out in fear. Yugi grinned down at the beast.

"Don't worry!" he yelled. "I've got a plan, just stay steady for awhile k!" Atemu blinked and then nodded. Turning back forward, he straightened out his body just in case. Yugi raised up his arm, pointing them straight at the oncoming onslaught. Muttering a small spell, a bow papered in his left hand and a quiver on his back.

--A bow and arrow?-- Atemu asked in question, glancing back. Yugi chuckled.

-Regular arrows are harmless…- he muttered. Reaching behind himself, he drew one out of the quiver and placed it on the arrow rest in the middle on the bow. Aligning his fingers for aiming, he waited a second to be able to lock onto a vital point on one of the dragon's bodies. He then grinned and closed his left eye, making sure it would be perfect. Pulling the piece of wood back further, he muttered a small curse and let the arrow fly. As it streaked through the air, it hit one of the dragons right in the neck, but with the added spell, the animal suddenly burst into flames.

"Yes, score!" Yugi cheered, pumping his fist in the air. Atemu laughed.

--Think you can keep that up for a while if I move more?-- he asked. Yugi drew another arrow and nodded.

-Sure thing- he said back, drawing the bowstring back, his right hand holding onto the feather of the arrow tightly against the string. He closed his left eye again, aiming. Muttering out another curse, he launched the arrow. It shot through the air and hit on of the dragons…but not where Yugi was aiming.

-Uh…are these all male dragons…?- he asked. Atemu glanced back, confused.

--Yes…why?-- he asked. Yugi winced.

-Ow…that's would hurt…- he muttered. Atemu stared and then began to laugh.

--Yugi?-- he laughed. --You…you, oh god…hahaha, well as long as they go down, who cares where you hit them!-- he said with a chuckle. Yugi grinned.

-I can deal with that!- he snickered. Drawing another arrow, he launched it out and made another dragon go down.

-We're gaining some distance between them!- he yelled. Atemu grinned.

--Good, hang on for a sec.-- Yugi nodded and intertwined his right hand in Atemu's mane. The dragon, feeling that Yugi was secure, took a sharp turn down and then shot up between some office buildings. Yugi gasped as he almost lost his balance as Atemu's body suddenly shot up.

--You alright?-- the other asked. Yugi nodded and grinned.

-Fine fine- he said back. Atemu straightened out and nodded his head. Yugi gave a nod to mainly himself as he let go of Atemu's mane. He then began launching arrows at a much faster pace then before. And only missing sometimes (when he didn't hit their most vulnerable spot but on another place on their body). Sometimes the dragons didn't go down right away, since some had scaly skin, much tougher than others. And some just were dead in an instant, their skin/fur like Atemu's. Yugi was managing to pick them off one by one at a decent pace. It was giving them more room to not make as sharp of turns and stay straighter. Atemu still twisted about, since they did eventually want to lose all of them. Yugi reached back behind himself, and then gasped.

-Damn…I'm out of arrows…oh well- he tossed the bow and quiver aside. Turning, he faced back toward Atemu's head. Adjusting himself into a comfortable position, he turned around to glance back.

-Wait…they're slowing…- he whispered. Atemu slowed down and turned his head.

--…They are…but why?-- he said in question. Yugi shook his head in unknowing.

-I don't know…- he said. The dragons had indeed slowed down, and even…stopped. Yugi and Atemu stared with awe and confusion as their opponents turned around and began flying in the opposite direction. Atemu fully turned around and stared on, perplexed.

--What are they doing…retreating?-- he thought out loud. Yugi shook his head.

-I don't know…it's weird.- he muttered. Atemu nodded in agreement. Turning, he flew over to the beach where his car sat. Luckily, they weren't to far away from it. The dragon landed smoothly and Yugi hopped off his back.

-What was that all about…- he murmured. Atemu sighed and dropped down to be laying on the ground.

--They always try to get me to come to the Akashi family reunion, I never go though. Well, I've gone when I was younger, but I'm never going again now that I have the choice to. But they've never…retreated before-- Atemu gazed out at the ocean, his eyes clouded with thought. --I wonder what happened…-- he muttered. Yugi sat down and leaned against Atemu's stomach.

"Well, lets just be glad that they did…at least they didn't do anything bad…" he trailed off. "By the way…remember when your sister attacked us? Do you remember that you had like a black out after…do you think that it may still be affecting you at all?" he asked, turning to glance at the other briefly. "…just wondering…" he added on, turning back around. Atemu didn't answer, nor did he move at all…which made Yugi worry slightly. "Do you know?" he asked again, turning. Atemu's head was laid on the ground, his eyes unfocused and distant. "Atemu?" Yugi inquired, nudging the other. Atemu blinked and glanced over at Yugi.

--…don't worry about anything…-- he turned back to staring out at the ocean. --Everything's fine-- Yugi blinked and glared.

"No, everything is NOT fine and I want to know why?" he said forcefully. Atemu sighed deeply and stood. Yugi almost fell to the ground in that act, but caught himself. "Tell me," he ordered. Atemu pretty much ignored him and walked over to the beach where you could see the sky lightening.

--You don't need to worry about anything-- Atemu said again. Yugi stood and stalked up behind him.

"Change back!" he yelled. "It's getting brighter outside, someone could see you!" he yelled. Atemu stopped and then laid down, ignoring Yugi once more. The mage was getting quite impatient from this behavior.

"Atemu…tell-me-what's-going-on…" Yugi ground out. Atemu lifted his head slightly and then stood. For a minute no one moved, no one barley breathed. Then Atemu turned his head to face Yugi. The mage shrieked and doubled back in surprise. He's seen the look in those eyes so many times before…that emotionless stare, the washed out color…he always saw it when other mages took over mortals minds to erase memories. But...why was…

"What's going on…" he breathed, taking a step back. Why didn't he notice Atemu was acting off, but who in the world was controlling him? "A-Atemu, wait!" he started. "Or…whoever's controlling, come out!" he screamed, searching the area. "Come on, get out here!" he screamed. A chuckle met his ears from behind. Yugi whipped around to be face to face with…y
