I'm terribly sorry for the very, very long wait T^T

I haven't had the time or inspiration to write anything and I blame this on school!

I graduated in June, and are currently studying to become a pet nurse. Even so I'll do my best to continue to write on my fics, no matter the writers block.

I'm so grateful for everyone that reads this fic, for the reviews and the patience.

Disclaimer: I do not owe Ygo or Shaman King I apologize for grammatic errors and other disturbances and hope you'll enjoy the chapter

Chapter 9

"I hate you" Atemu looked at Aracia startled by her sudden statement. "You could've told me that you could change your appearance when you wanted. It would've spared me a whole lot of worry..." she pouted. Atemu chuckled warmly as he crossed his legs.

"Sorry, but I just remembered it. I don't know everything I can and can't do at the moment, my memory is still somewhat hazy and since I am how I am there's somethings that just come naturaly when I need to know about it" Atemu explained as he closed his eyes and smirked at the still pouting Aracia.

"That barely even made any sense! I'm giving up on understanding ancient spirits in teenage bodies!" she said as she stomped outside, but not before grabbing her suitcases. She sent Atemu a last glare and walked outside the door. Bakura and Marik watched her leave with amusement clearly shown on their faces. Malik just sweat dropped and Shadi just sighed.

"That was different... I don't even think Mana or Isis did that in the past" Atemu said while stifling a laugh. Yugi pinched his side, while giving him a small glare. "What?" he asked innocently.

"That wasn't very nice, Atemu. You should apologize to her. Even if it wasn't intentionally, she was upset by what you did" Yugi said softly, looking towards they last saw the female. Atemu looked at his little mate and smiled lovingly.

"You are correct, my little hikari. I shall apologize to Aracia, it wasn't very nice to make her worry or to confuse her like that" and with that Atemu stood up and walked outside to find Aracia, suspecting that she was downstairs by the car. Just as suspected he found her not only by the car, but inside it, sitting on one of the seats. She sent him a small glare, then "huffed" and turned her nose up. Atemu sighed feeling a little frustrated, really she was just as immature as Mana sometimes, but then again Mana was never upset with him.

For a while they stayed where they where, both silent. Until Aracia finally broke the silence, although slightly reluctantly.

"What do you want, Pharaoh?"

"I merely wanted to apoligize for earlier. It wasn't my intention to upset you or make you worry. I can't understand everything myself yet, so I do not require or expect that you or the others do. This will take time to adapt to. Even so for me since I have the memories of two lives, it makes it even more confusing and will take time to sort out entirely" Atemu explained to her. Aracia finally looked at him, this time in confusion and slightly in amusement.

"You didn't have to apologize, my Pharaoh. It should be me that should apologize for reacting like that. I guess my temper gets the best of me sometimes..." she muttered. Atemu chuckled slightly at that.

"Well, I guess we're both to blame then. So let's call it even. Actually I wondered if you can any Japanese? It would be rather...how do I put this in the right way? Eumh, unconventional to go to a country when you can't speak the language?" Atemu asked curiously, yet with hints of worry, since he didn't want the female to get angry again. Aracia merely smiled at his actions, a soft small smile, but a smile never the less.

"My Lord, I have taught myself a bit of Japanese during your stay here and I'm positive that I can use my English as well. If not I'll have you guys to translate for me" she stated with a feral grin, causing the Pharaoh to take a step back.

"Ehe sure, whatever you say..."

"Good" she said happily and thus ended the conversation. Atemu sent her a few nervous glances before going inside to get the others...

A few hours later...,

The whole gang walked out of the Domino air port. Aracia looked around curiously, never being out of Egypt made her very interested in everything and everyone. She's even stopped to inspect an Akita inu that was inside the air port, much to the others embarrassment. Atemu went to call his grandfather and tell him that he'd been away on a trip for awhile. Then they all went to a limo that waited right outside the air port, and when everyone were seated Kaiba told the driver to take them to his mansion.

"So where exactly are they hiding?" Yoh asked suddenly. Yugi looked at him, yet again in his beast form, with tired eyes.

"They have a small island north of Wakkanai. (A/N the island I've merely made up, but Wakkanai is a real city in Japan) It isn't on any map, of that I'm sure, since its a secret place, and only the ones with furioku can sense and reach it" Yugi explained. "But since I know where it is already I'll lead you there. It shouldn't take too long for us to reach it"

"So what do we need to know about the place? Traps? Guards?" Bakura asked with a wide grin, excitement twinkling in his eyes. Marik had sadistic grin and his eyes glazed over in insane glee. Atemu and the others sweat dropped at this, while Ryou and Malik merely sighed, all to used by their boyfriends antics.

"Well, as far as I know they shouldn't have any traps, they didn't when I escaped anyway... Guards on the other hand they have, and they aren't pleasant at all. I don't know how many they have but its around 90 or so, not counting the personal ones that they have with them at all times." Yugi explained as good as he could, since he wasn't too sure about the amount of dead that guarded the place.

"Oh well, then it shouldn't be that much of a problem to get past them. After all there was more when we were rescuing Ren from his uncle." Yoh stated, causing Ren to blush slightly at the reminder. Bakura and Marikn started to cackle evilly. They were going to have so much fun. Although the cackling duo got a few worried glances towards them.

"What?" Bakura asked when he noticed the glances. They merrily shook their heads in disbelief.

"Never mind, Bakura" Ryou said placing his hand on his boyfriends hand.

"My jet will take you to Wakkanai tomorrow morning, then hire some boat that can take you to that island. I can't come with you, I have a meeting and I need to stay with Mokuba. I don't want to leave him alone in case we're being targeted as well" Kaiba said.

"I understand. Thank you Seto, I do understand your concern about your younger brother. I doubt that those bastards would care if they hurt a child after all. Do as your heart tells you and protect your brother. We'll be fine on our own, besides if we were to many it would be harder to keep out of sight." Atemu said, his eyes looking straight into Kaiba's.

"My Pharaoh, perhaps we should rest so that we are ready for the morning?" Aracia suggested. Atemu turned his gaze towards her and nodded.

* I just hope that tomorrow won't have any sacrifices * Yugi thought/prayed as they headed to bed.
