Sorry this one took so long. I was having trouble with how I wanted it to go, but I finally made a decision. So, here's another present for you all! hope you enjoy it! Oh, just so everyone's not confused, Yugi is the only one that calls Atem 'Yami'. Everyone else calls him 'Atem'. So, here ya go! Happy Birthday to Me!

---

It was a beautiful morning in Domino City. The sun was shinning, birds were singing, and Little Yugi Moto was sitting in his room, not really enjoying the sunshine at all, and he didn't know why. Usually, he craved for days like this. But this time, he just couldn't enjoy it. In fact, he couldn't even get himself out of bed. After everything his short life had put him through, all he wanted to do was stay in bed and snuggle within the blankets. But of course, his new 'roommate' wouldn't allow it. A loud knock came from the door.

"Wake up, Yugi; a brand new day is ahead of us!" Came the voice of his roommate, Atem. Atem wasn't really just a roommate; he used to be the spirit of Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, but after all adventures were said and done to give the amnesiac Pharaoh his memories, he was resurrected after defeating Yugi in a final showdown. This resurrection made him pick up right where he left off; as a young adult of twenty-one.

Yugi groaned and pulled the blanket over his head. But still, Atem would not have it. "Yugi, come on! Time to get up!" Yugi groaned again.

"But why? It's summer! I'm supposed to be sleeping in!" Atem stood over Yugi's bed with his arms crossed and a smile on his face while shaking his head.

"No, sleeping in makes you lazy. Now get up!" Yugi didn't make a single move. Atem sighed. "I really didn't want to do this, Yugi …" He started violently shaking Yugi's small form from side to side, hoping that it would wake the lazy teen up. "Come on, wake up!" Yugi was starting to get annoyed … not to mention a little dizzy too. 'I wish he would stop that!' He thought to himself. Suddenly, something shocked Atem and threw him across the room. When Yugi heard the loud crash of his roommate hitting the back wall, he immediately woke up and ran to his side.

"Yami, are you alright?" Atem groaned and rubbed his neck.

"I'm fine … but what happened?" Yugi looked just as shocked as Atem was.

"I … I don't know …" Atem looked at Yugi for a second. He saw a bright, glowing aura surrounding his little charge. He gasped a bit before whispering something under his breath.

"It's happening …" He meant to say this only to himself, but Yugi's ears were very sharp.

"What's happening?" The little one asked, cocking his head to the side. Atem woke up from his daze.

"Uh … nothing … help me up." Yugi did so, thinking of how strange his guardian was acting.

"Are you sure you're okay, Yami?" Atem couldn't look at Yugi right now. He knew the boy was going through some … 'changes', and those changes might cause their separation. He had to speak with Solomon, now."

"I'm fine; go take a shower and get something to eat." Yugi glared and sighed.

"Sheesh, stop bossing me around!" Yugi yelled as he grabbed a towel and stomped into the bathroom. Atem crept into Solomon's room and closed the door.

Later that day, Atem kept his eye closely on Yugi as he hung out with his friends. It couldn't be happening yet. Solomon had to be wrong; it wasn't time for Yugi to return to … there … was it? No, he couldn't lose Yugi … not yet. Sure, the child was powerful, but in Atem's eyes, he was still the small, shy little boy that had freed him from that damn puzzle, and he always would be. Another reason he refused to let Yugi go was because he didn't want to lose the one thing he loved most in the world. Yes, Atem loved his little light, and he'd be damned if he'd ever let anything happen to Yugi, even his own past.

In a lot of ways, Yugi was like Atem. He was heir to his country's throne, powerful beyond belief, and had no memory of who he truly was. Well, that last statement wasn't entirely true anymore. Atem knew who he was now, but for the longest time, he had a sever case of, I guess you could call it amnesia. But the one difference between Atem and Yugi was that Yugi absolutely refused to hurt any other creature. Even if he saw a bug in his room, he'd capture it in his hands and set it free outside; except spiders. He always screamed for Atem to come and kill the creepy crawly. Atem had to chuckle at that thought. Sometimes, Yugi was just too cute for his own good. He could remember the night he had found out who Yugi truly was …

The stars were shinning brightly above in the heavens. The moon was shinning along side them. Not a cloud was there in the night sky. The residents of a small town called Domino were safely tucked away in their warm beds. At least that was true for one little boy who had just discovered his new ghostly friend from a puzzle that he had been given.

The small boy was only twelve years old. His face was round and his cheeks were rosy. A ghostly figure stood in the room, watching the young boy sleep. Every once in a while, the ghost would smile and caress Yugi's soft cheek. If he concentrated hard enough, he could feel the child's smooth skin. He sighed as he gazed out into the night sky. This was his usual routine. He's watch the boy sleep, and spend the rest of the night looking out the window, completely prepared to protect the boy if anything were to pose as a threat to the sweet one. Yugi rolled over in his sleep, causing the spirit, Yami, as he was known as at that time, to smile. Yugi was just too cute.

Suddenly, a bright light came out of the boy's closet. Magical sparks appeared from the light and danced around until they fell to the floor. Yami stood in a fighting stance, prepared to attack. Then, as quickly as it came, the light was gone … as if it'd never been there. Yami blinked. Had he imagined it? He looked over at Yugi, who hadn't even moved a muscle. The spirit relaxed; that is, until the door slowly creaked open. Atem took a stance again, waiting for whatever it was that was going to come out of that closet door.

He was expecting it to be a shadow creature of some sort; a creature that had crossed from the shadow world into this world, but what he wasn't expecting was it to be a bright, giant, full grown lion. Yami gasped. Seeing a lion appear in a boy's closet was not something you see everyday. The lion had a bright yellow glow surrounding it. He didn't know whether to wake Yugi and tell him to run away, or fight it as if it were a shadow creature. In a deep, strong voice, the lion began to speak.

"Peace, Pharaoh; I mean you no harm." Yami's shocked eyes widened again.

"You speak!"

"Of course; that is the normal way to communicate." The lion chuckled at his own response. Yami blinked to bring himself out of his shock.

"W-what do you want with me?" The lion chuckled again.

"Dear, ancient Son of Adam, I am not here for you." The dead pharaoh raised a brow.

"Then who"--- A thought occurred to him. He looked at the sleeping boy in the bed. "No! You can't have him!" Apparently, Yami was being a bit of a drama queen.

"Please relax; I assure you that I am not here to harm him. I am here to merely check on the boy." The lion walked into the room without making a sound. Yami moved in the lion's way, but it went right through him, sending a funny feeling through the spirit. "I am glad to see that he is in good health; we miss him very much." The lion nuzzled Yugi's face. His main ticked the boy's nose, so he small boy giggled, but did not awake. He only turned over in his sleep again. Yami took a step closer to the lion, but always kept his guard up.

"Who are you?"

"I am known as Aslan, King of the Wood, and Creator of Narnia." Now the ancient pharaoh was even more confused then ever.

"'Narnia'? What is 'Narnia'?"

"Narnia is a world that exists along side this world. Sort of a … parallel dimension as you would call it." Yami nodded in understanding. He knew what a parallel dimension was since he has a lot of ties to the shadow world.

"Alright, so you come from a different world, am I correct?" Aslan nodded.

"Yes."

"Then what does that have to do with Yugi?" Aslan sighed and looked at Yugi again. He licked the child's cheek.

"If I tell you, you must promise never to speak a word of it to him. It is for his own protection that he not know who he truly is." The dead pharaoh nodded again, only this time with a little more trust.

"Alright, I promise. Now, what does this 'Narnia' have to do with my little Yugi?" Aslan chuckled at hearing Yami refer to Yugi as 'his'.

"This little one right here … is the Prince of Narnia." Yami gasped.

"Prince!" He repeated. He had to be careful not to raise his voice and wake the boy up.

"Yes; he is the Prince of Narnia. He was sent to this world so his powers could develop in peace without him using them before they fully develop."

"But why was he sent away in the first place?"

"Because if he were to say in Narnia, he would be in great danger." Yami was getting impatient. This lion was dragging things out.

"But how, from what?" Aslan didn't seem to be bothered at all by Yami's impatience.

"His sister, the White Witch. This woman has cast a curse through the land and calls herself queen. But, she is not the true heir." Yami didn't understand.

"But if she's Yugi's sister, and Yugi is a prince, then that would make her a princess, so wouldn't she be the next heir?" Aslan shook his head, causing his main to brush Yugi's face again.

"No, Narnia has always been ruled by a High King. The last High King was Yugi's father, Caspian, who tragically died by the hands of his own daughter, along with his wife, Queen Aleigha."

"Then … who's running this 'Narnia' now?"

"Outside of the City of Cair Paravel, the White Witch, of course." The lion looked at the sleeping boy again. "But this young boy used the last of his strength to cast a shield of light around the city, which protects it from the witch's power. However, I fear that with every passing year, the shield grows weaker. I have only come to check on the child. He is not yet ready to return to Narnia and become High King himself."

"How did Yugi do all that? He's only ten!" Once again, Aslan let out a soft chuckle.

"To you, but to be truthful, when the young prince traveled through worlds, he went back in age. He was sixteen years old when that happened." Yami gasped again.

"So he's really twenty-six!"

"I suppose you could look at it that way." Yami looked at Yugi and swallowed the lump in his throat. The boy in the bed was sleeping soundly like the ten year old he thought he was. "Pharaoh …" Yami's attention went back to Aslan, "It is important that this child does not know about his true identity until I come back for him. Promise me that you will not only keep this secret, but protect him at all costs as well." Yami nodded.

"Of course I will. Yugi means everything to me." Aslan smiled a bit and started to walk back to the closet door. "Aslan, wait!" Aslan stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Yami again.

"How will I know when it's time?"

"It will begin where he left off; when he is sixteen and strange things begin to happen." With that, the great lion walked back into the closet and was gone in a flash of light. Yami held up his arms to cover his eyes from the light. He looked at Yugi again. Even though he knew the true identity of his young charge now, he made it his sole purpose to not only help Yugi, but protect him as well.

Atem opened his eyes. So far, he was able to keep the promise he made to Aslan six years ago. But he didn't know how much longer it would last. Even Solomon knew about Yugi's secret, and that's only because he had a secret of his own. Yugi's powers were growing at a rapid rate. Sometimes, Atem would creep into Yugi's room just to check on him, and he'd find Yugi levitating four feet above his bed. He didn't know if that was a good thing or not. But other things were happening too. For instance, Yugi always seemed to know that things would happen even before they would happen, and he was the best person to go to about advice. Most say they he could explain their feelings as if he could feel it himself. Lately the boy had been complaining about migraines that would be so bad that he would spend all day sleeping. And when he would sleep, he would be surrounded by some kind of force field.

Atem was very scared for his little Yugi. How was Yugi going to react when he found out that he was a prince of another world? His powers keep growing, and he has no idea that they even exist or how to control them. "This was so much easier when he was just a normal boy …" Atem said to himself.

Suddenly, Yugi ran away from the group of his friends with all of them calling after him. "Yugi, come back!" The small boy was holding his stomach and mouth, running to, maybe he didn't even know. Finally, he stopped and kneeled down. He threw up his lunch, causing his friends to stop in their tracks. Atem, of course did not. He went over to Yugi, who was now holding his head. "Yugi, are you alright?" Yugi screamed for a second. Suddenly, a pile of stones started to levitate in midair.

"Hey, what's goin' on here?" Joey asked. Atem gasped.

"No, not now …" The rest of the teenagers all looked at the resurrected Pharaoh in question.

"Atem, do you know something we don't?" Tea asked. Atem didn't answer. He just held Yugi closer to him. Suddenly, the stones began to circle around the two look a likes. Yugi kept clutching his skull in pain.

"YAMI, IT HURTS!" The older held onto Yugi tighter.

"It's alright, Yugi … I'm here!" Now, both of them were starting to levitate. Yugi's headache was growing more painful by the second. He didn't even know that his guardian was holding him at that very minute.

"YAMI, HELP ME!"

"Shh, I'm right here, Yugi. I want to help you, but you must calm down!" He looked down to see that they were a good twenty feet in the air. The others looked too astonished to even form words. Yugi kept screaming while Atem kept trying to get him to calm down. "Yugi, please! You must calm down!"

"YAMI!"

"I'm right here, Yugi; and I won't let you go!"

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU! IT HURTS SO MUCH!" This was getting them nowhere.

"Yugi, listen to me, I know what's wrong, but you have to calm down. Please, try and rest." Yugi heard that part, but it was very hard for him to concentrate on anything other then the pain. Soon, the panicking boy was starting to quiet down, and the rapidly spinning stones fell to the earth once again. Not once did Atem let Yugi go. "That's it, Yugi; calm down." The two gently floated to the ground. Once safe, Yugi had spent so much energy that he passed out in Atem's arms. Joey, Tea, and Tristan ran to see if their friend was alright.

"What just happened?" Tristan asked. Atem picked Yugi up in his arms and began to carry him home.

"Yugi is about to go through some changes, and I think it's best that you know. I'm taking him home and putting him to bed. There, I will explain everything." And off they went to the game shop.
