"Talking"
(Yami to someone)
/yugi to yami/
//Yami to Yugi//
This happened last time: Yami, Yugi and their friends travelled to Egypt. There they met Shadi, the protector of the Pharaoh. He led them to his tomb and then Yugi led them throught it. Then Dark Magician appeared and it was revealed that Yami was the Pharaoh all along...
Chapter 6
Yugi stood there shocked and dumbfounded. He wasn't aware of it, but the others were as shocked as he was. Yami, no, Atemu was standing in front of them in all of his glory. His face was not showing any emotions, just as it should be with kings, or maybe he just was a cold hearted bastard. Yugi doubted that he was coldheared, but why hadn't he told them who he was from the beginning. Shadi was bowing repectfully towards Yami as well as the Dark Magician.
"My Pharaoh, you have returned just as Isis foresaw three thousand years ago" Dark Magician said. The Pharaoh looked at him, forcing himself to draw his attention away from Yugi.
"Yes, so it seems. Isis was right yet again, my old friend. But my rule over Egypt will be no more" Atemu stated. Dark Magician looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I'm affraid that I don't understand, my Pharaoh" Dark Magician said, lowering his head.
"The time of the Pharaohs is over. I'm just a 'normal' person now" Atemu said.
"If you call being a Spirit Beast and the most powerful Shadow mage there is normal, then yes" Dark Magician said sarcastically. Atemu just replied with a shrug. Ren had by this time had enough. He and Anna hadn't been as shocked as the others of some reason. His eyes were narrowed and he walked up to stand right in front of Atemu. Atemu looked at him with narrowed crimson eyes.
"Is there something I can do for you, Ren?" he asked. Everyone else was now back to normal, or almost.
"Why did you take us on this meaninless trip? You were this Pharaoh all along, so why didn't you just tell us?" Ren's voice was colder then normal and his body was shacking in anger.
"Don't talk like that to the great Pharaoh Atemu!" Shadi and Dark Magician said in unision. Atemu chuckled at it, if he didn't know that they were two persons, he'd guessed that they were the same person.
"It's okay, Mahaado, Shadi. They deserve to know the truth" he then turned to face all of them; he looked down into Yugi's eyes. "Yami and I am the same person. The great goddess Isis took my soul to a pregnant woman's child when it was time for me. She knew that my soul mate soon would be born. I had no idea who I was until I returned here to get my memory back. You could say that my soul was split in two pieces, my past and my present"
/So you didn't remember?/ Yugi asked sadly. Atemu shook his head. He kneeled down and took Yugi into his arms. Yugi nuzzled his chest and emitted sad sounds.
//I am truly sorry about this, hikari no tenshi// he said, nuzzling Yugi back. As the two of them had their private chat, the others were looking at them. Bakura, Marik, Seto and their lovers were confused about all of it.
"What's up with Yami? I dun get any of dis" Jou said clutching his head. Seto's eyes softened and hold a tender and caring look. Ryou tilted his head slightly, and gave Bakura a cute confused look.
"So what's going to happen now?" he asked. Bakura shook his head.
"I don't know, love. I don't think Yami's different from before, and I doubt that he'll disappear" Bakura replied, staring at the Dark Magician. "What I want to know is how Dark Magician is here" A chuckle interrupted everyone in their thoughts and talking. Atemu stood there sniggering; even Yugi gave off small almost giggling sounds.
"I will continue where I was in my present life, but first of all I'll free Yugi from his family problems. As for how Dark Magician is here...Well let's just say that Duel monster or Magic and Wizards if you like, are based on the Ancient Shadow Games. The creatures are real, and lives in the Shadow Realm"
"But Pegasus created it" Seto stated. Atemu shook his head.
"No, he only recreated it" he replied. "However his version is safer then the original. Back in the ancient, people were sent to the Shadow Realm if he or she lost. I never lost, but I've been there"
"How could you do that?" Malik asked. "My family has been told that only very powerful souls can enter and exit it alive" Atemu smirked, his eyes closed.
"I'm a Spirit Beast and was the Pharaoh. My power was limitless, however...I had to keep things from my people" his voice was sad, and full of pain. "Like my second nature…" he laughed sadly. Ren's face was hard for anyone to read.
"So how were you able to hide it?" Yoh asked. Atemu closed his eyes and smiled gently.
"I locked myself into my room or went to the Shadow Realm, when I had to change. That used to be twice or three days a week. I only change during nights, as it's less chance to get caught then, I only changed during days when I visited my adoptive mother" Yugi looked up.
/What? There are others?/ Yugi asked curiously. Atemu shook his head with his eyes closed, giving him a sad expression.
//I'm afraid not. She died just a month before me…// Yugi lowered his head. //It's okay, don't be sad, she died happy//
"How do you plan to help Yugi? You must have some idea, right?" Yoh asked. Atemu went over to a wall covered with hieroglyphs and put his hand on it. The tomb shook a little as a hidden door opened. Atemu walked through it, with Yugi still in his arms. The others watched as they disappeared in the darkness.
"Should we follow them? I mean we can't leave them alone. We don't know what there's in this tomb" Malik stated. Ryou shook his head.
"I don't think we should, Malik. This is something they have to do on their own" he explained.
"But, ya can't mean dat, Ryou! Yami might need us!" Jou yelled at him. Mahaado moved to block the doorway.
"He is right. This is only for the Pharaoh and his little light. The door will close until they're finished" As he said that, the door closed.
"I'm hungry!!!!!"
"You're always hungry, pup, but you're right. We've been waiting for them for hours. If I'd known it would take this much time, I'd go back to the hotel a long time ago" Seto said. Some of the others had fallen asleep; Mahaado had been in the same position during the whole time, except that he moved around sometimes to look at the door.
Then suddenly the hieroglyphs on the door glowed, causing everyone to shield their eyes. The door opened and two shadows could be seen. Two very identical teens walked out into the room holding hands. Yugi smiled happily, so did Atemu.
"Sorry you had to wait" Yugi said. Ren snorted and moved to exit the room, not wanting to waste anymore time there. "It took much longer then we thought it would"
"Yes, we got distracted for awhile" Atemu said. Everyone raised an eyebrow. Then a dark blue and black light surrounded Atemu. When the light died away a midnight black and golden spirit beast sat there. In it's forehead the Eye of Ra could be seen. It's blood red eyes glowed in the tomb. Everyone stared at it.
"Ehm, Yami?" Jou asked. The creature looked up at him, it's eyes questioning. "Are ya alright?"
(Yes, I'm fine) a sigh could be heard in everyone's heads (I think I used too much energy, I'll be alright after I've had some rest) Yugi smiled and returned to his beast form as well. He nuzzled Yami lovingly, while Atemu/Yami cleaned the smaller one. Suddenly Atemu's head jerked up. (Can you feel it, Mahaado?)
"Yes, an evil aura is about to enter the tomb" he growled. Atemu nodded. "What do you propose we do?"
(First I want to know what it is, after I'll decide what to do with it) Atemu closed his eyes and concentrated. The symbol on his forehead glowed, and his mind took him through the tomb to the intruder. Atemu smirked and opened his eyes. Yugi looked up at him. //Now I know what to do. Come with me, beloved// Yugi blushed as he nodded and followed him.
/What are we going to do?/ Yugi asked.
//First we'll have to make the intruder follow us outside, then I'll take care of the rest, okay?// Yugi nodded, deciding that it was best to agree with him. As they got closer to the opening of the tomb, Atemu started to make sounds to catch the intruder's attention, which he got. They ran outside and stopped. Yugi stood at Atemu's side, looking at the intruder.
/That's my stepfather's brother. He's a hunter and assassin. He kills Shamans and steals their ghosts for money/ Yugi hissed, Atemu could feel the hate from their link. He smirked, who could ever have thought that someone so innocent could have such feelings.
"My brother told me to look after one Spirit Beast and here I have two of them. It must be my lucky day" the man cackled.
(I don't think so, human. Your life ends here, but then again maybe I should let you go as a warning to others) he paused and his ears twitched. (On second thought it's better to finish you off here) He began to chant in a language long since forgotten and a roar caused shivers to run down everyone's spines. A giant red dragon with two mouths and glowing red eyes, appeared from the dark sky, lightning's raining down around it. The man's whole body shook in fear. (Osiris, attack! May he never set foot on this planet again)
