Sorry this took so long, but I had to organize this into the format that I wanted it to take. So, for those of you who actually like this story, it may be short, but it'll satisfy your want. Here ya go!

Yugi slowly opened his eyes when the wave of sleep had lifted from him. The first thing he noticed was that he was back inside his bottle … but something was different … he felt something warm and strong covering him. As he tried to turn around, he found that he couldn't because whatever this warm thing was, it was right on top of him. He fully opened his eyes to see that it was his master, naked and sleeping on him. At first, confusion filled the young genie's mind, and then he began to remember what had happened the night before. Heat, lots and lots of heat followed by teasing and finally the blindness of pure bliss. That's right; he and Atem had made love the night before. 'How could I forget?' Yugi asked himself.

Suddenly, the warm body on top of his began to move. Atem yawned as he opened his sleepy ruby eyes. Yugi smiled and kissed the wakening Pharaoh, causing him to become fully awake. "Good morning." The genie stated. Atem looked down at the soft body he was laying on top of and smiled.

"Good morning to you." The two were pulled magnetically together into another searing kiss. Yugi ran his smaller leg up Atem's while the Pharaoh's hands began to explore Yugi's body once again. The teenage genie began to giggle. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, it's just that you hit my tickle spot when you put your hand on my butt." Atem raised a brow.

"You have a tickle spot on your ass?"

"Well, it's my lower back, but you touched it and it tickled." Atem chuckled at how adorable his small genie was. He sat up, allowing them both to sit up and stretch.

"Perhaps we ought to get dressed before we leave your dominion." Yugi smirked.

"No problem!" He snapped his fingers and in a swirl of purple magic, both were back in their regular wardrobes. Atem walked over and pulled Yugi into another kiss.

"As much as I love spending time with you, do you think you could take us back to the outside?"

"As you wish, Master." In another snap of his fingers, both the Pharaoh and the genie were outside Yugi's bottle, in Atem's room.

Atem looked around. It was going to take some getting used to, before he felt comfortable with teleporting. Yugi tried to get his master's attention by nuzzling Atem's neck, signaling that he wanted to cuddle some more, but Atem knew that he had a duty to fulfill.

"Yugi, I need you to stay here while I take care of the country for the day." Yugi pouted.

"But it gets boring! What am I supposed to do for the whole day!" Atem shrugged.

"I'm sure you can conjure up something to entertain yourself with. Besides, you'll have a much better time here then you would with me.

"But I"--- Atem put his finger on Yugi's mouth, silencing him.

"Yugi, it's an order." The collar around Yugi's neck flashed. He bowed his head, knowing he still couldn't resist a command from his master.

"Yes, Master …" The Pharaoh lifted Yugi's chin with his finger.

"Now, don't be like that. You know that you'll be safer here then with me." Yugi wasn't about to admit that Atem was right. Instead, he just pouted and refused to kiss Atem good-bye. "I'll be back in a few hours, I promise." And with that, he left. Yugi placed his hands over his face and plopped down on Atem's plush bed.

Sometime later in the afternoon, Yugi had decided to take a nap in his bottle, waiting for his master to return. He didn't notice the sneaky figure sneaking into Atem's room and stealing back the bottle that had been stolen and put back not too long ago. It was Sir Maroon. He placed the magic bottle back in Atem's room the night before so that the Pharaoh wouldn't get suspicious of it being missing.

He knew that Atem was back in court for the day, so this was the perfect time to take the small genie away from him. "This kid may be a pain in the ass, but he also may be the one thing I need to overthrow the royal pain in MY ass. As silent as a cat, he placed the top onto the bottle and snatched it out of the Pharaoh's chambers under his cape.

After a few moments of enjoying his victory, Maroon opened the bottle, watching as a cloud of purple sparkles form into a young teenage boy. "Atem, why did you do that?" He started to turn around. "You know how much I --- uh-oh …"Maroon smirked at him.

"Well, well, well; look who it is." Yugi backed away a little bit. "I take it from your actions that you remember me."

"How could I forget the face of the one who cursed me to an eternity of servitude!" Yugi barked back. Maroon just stood there and smirked.

"Now, now; no need to be testy. Is that any way to treat an old friend? How long has it been; two … three hundred years?" Maroon asked in an evil, yet casual way. Yugi's face hardened.

"Two hundred and thirty, but who's counting?" Maroon snickered and walked towards the small genie.

"You've changed over that time; you seem to have grown accustom to your powers?" As Maroon came closer, Yugi raised his hands and magically created a thick, purple barrier between the two, causing Maroon to run into it.

"I'm more powerful then the last time we met!" Maroon snickered evilly again, making Yugi nervous. He raised his hand and with a wave, Yugi was magically thrown all the way across the room, hitting the wall and landing on the ground with a loud thump. When the small genie could open his eyes again, he saw the sorcerer hovering right above him. Maroon gripped the genie's hair, forcing the teenager to look at him.

"You seem to forget who gave you those powers in the first place!" Without warning, he kissed Yugi full on the lips. This boy tasted so good. No wonder Atem chose him to be his lover. Yugi, on the other hand, did not like this. First of all, this man tasted so disgusting. Second of all, he was with Atem now; and third of all, he had to remember that this man turned him into a genie. He tried to pull away, but Maroon was just too strong. Sure, Yugi had developed all his powers, but Maroon was just too strong in general. Finally, after what seemed a lifetime, Maroon pulled away. Yugi spat at the floor, trying to get the disgusting taste out of his mouth. "Exquisite … Atem chose a good one this time."

"What do you want with me!"

"Don't you know, Little One?"

"Why should I?"

"Is there any reason for you to not?"

"Why are you answering my questions with questions?" Maroon smirked.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Maroon kissed him again. Yugi thrashed on the spot and tried to get the taller man off of him, but nothing worked. Once again, Maroon pulled away.

"Stop that!" Yugi demanded. He was rewarded with a harsh slap across the face.

"You shouldn't be saying things like that to your master." Yugi's whole being froze right then and there.

"What; you aren't my master; Atem is!" Maroon reached down to the collar around Yugi's neck. With a strong pull, he broke it in half. Once it was off of Yugi's neck, it disappeared. The young genie was beyond confused right now.

"I'm your new master. I opened your bottle and let you out. Atem has no more power over you; I do now." Yugi gasped. It was true, since Maroon was the last one to open his bottle, Maroon was now his master. Tears started to flow down the genie's face. He had just found the one person he loved, and because of the stupid curse, he had to leave that person and serve another.

"Why?" Yugi asked with a shaky voice.

"Why? Because you are the key to bringing down that immature brat on the throne! That juvenile hasn't even completed puberty yet, and he's already a king! He doesn't deserve it. And now, you're going to help me get rid of him. But first, I have some business to finish." Maroon's eyes turned from anger to lust. Yugi didn't know what the psychotic sorcerer had him mind, but he knew that he wasn't going to like it …
