... The only reason, well, person whose the reason I'm writing this is.. 8^8 angry at me...
Yami: Your own fault!
Me: Come on.. I wrote two chapters today, one for this and one for another.. and more thant that.. D':
Yugi: Yami! *glare* it's okay, Tomyo doesn't own!
Chapter 2.
Something of The Light.
"So, you two.. what happened after I died?" Tori suddenly asked.
"Um.. not much really.. Akefia and I fought.. of course.. Tiocan then became the Pharaoh" Atem said and Tori looked a little too confused for their liking.
"Tori.. both of us died shortly after you, we were trapped in an Millenium Item as well.. and freed 5000 years after.. and of course I gave the throne to Tiocan.. he was an heir was he not?" he stated.
"He became the Pharaoh? You really made him an heir?" Roku asked.
"He wasn't.. your child?" Yugi asked.
"No.. he wasn't.. Tori was pregnant.. but.. a certain someone killed her before she got the chance to give birth.. Tiocan was Akefia and Roku's son" Atem said. Yami gawked at him.
"You really did that?" he asked and Atem nodded.
"Yes, and I don't regret it Yami, as for that certain someone, I am pretty sure she is still alive today, just.. a little different.." he said. Yami frowned.
"What was her name?"
"Anuhna.." Atem answered, the room fell into a silence.
"That.. does sound familiar.." Bakura said.
"Yes, it doesn't.. it might actually be Anzu!" Yami said and everyone who knew her nodded. Tori and Roku exchanged angry looks, wich made everyone stare at them in confusion.
"That 'princess' was only there to make my life miserable, she poisoned my food so that I would miscarriage and always tried to part me and Atem!" Tori said, wrapping her arms around herself. Atem came over and embraced her gently. Yami nodded.
"Well, I wouldn't doubt that Anzu is Anuhna.. because Anzu has really been acting like a complete-" he was stopped by Yugi's hand before he could finish that sentence. Atem raised an eyebrow at Yugi's blushing features.
"What's the matter Yugi?" Atem asked and Yugi's blush darkened.
"N-nothing Atem" Yugi muttered. Everyone raised their eyebrows.
"So.. what actually happened?" Yami asked.
"What do you mean?" Atem asked.
"How did they die? It's not like I can remember" Yami stated.
"Oh.. that.. I can't remember" Tori said. Everyone stared at her.
"Atem?" Yugi asked, but he shook his head.
"I can't remember either.. in fact, most of my memories about Roku and Tori has been wiped from my brain.." he said, looking down in guilt. Tori smiled, her eyes filled with sympathy. Roku puffed her cheeks.
"Your not the only one.. I can't remember either, and it sucks!" she said, pouting.
"Me neither, it's odd isn't it? That only the four of us can't remember anything?" Akefia asked and everyone nodded. Atem frowned before he shook his head.
"I'm not sure.. but I think it has something to do with the people who trapped Roku and Tori's souls in the Millenium Items.. maybe they exist today as well, kind of like how Bakura tried to take revenge in this time as well?" Atem stated, thus Bakura glared. Yugi and Yami nodded.
"Yeah.. that could be it, but what if it endangers our friends this time too.. I'm a little sick of making our friends worry or pull them into danger" Yugi said. Yami nodded and looked at Atem.
"I think we have endangered them enough.. even if they refuse to leave us alone to the trouble.. I mean, the first one was, Pegasus, wait.. Kaiba first, he hurt Soguroku.. wich Pegasus did as well then it was Bakura! Um.. Malik and Bakura to be more exact and they used our friends against us" Yami finished this with a glare at Bakura.
"Then... there was Noah, who wanted to take over our bodies, or something like that before that Dartz with the Orichalcos seal came along and took the souls of people.." thus Yami got a guilty look on his face. Yugi smiled.
"It is okay Yami, you managed to defeat him despite his cheating and pulling at strings.." Yugi said.
"What do you mean?" Atem asked. Unlike Yami, did Atem have no memories of what happened while Yami and Yugi shared bodies, only from his ancient times in Egypt, well, what remained of it anyway. Yami swallowed as Yugi giggled.
"The seal of Orichalcos is a twisted card, it uses the evil inside you and strengthen it, using it against you.. somehow that card made it to our deck and Yami.. well, he played it, and lost" Yugi said, looking down, as did Yami.
"Yami.. what the fuck did you think?" Atem asked.
"I didn't think.. that's the problem, the seal of Orichalcos did everything for me.." Yami said, biting his bottom lip as Yugi wrapped his hands around his waist.
"Yami lost, the loser looses his soul and I pushed him away" there was an equally shocked gasped through the gang in the living room. Yugi smiled as he hugged Yami harder and Yami smiled guiltily.
"So.. you were taken?" Atem asked.
"Yes, though Yami managed to save me" Yugi said, giggling.
"I wouldn't have had it any other way" Yami said, smiling to Yugi. Atem stared at them before he snickered. Yami and Yugi blushed slightly and stared at him.
"What's so funny?" Yami asked.
"Nothing.." Atem sang before he turned serious again.
"Either way I think we should be careful.. if the same people from ancient Egypt is here in this life time, then it might become troublesome!" Atem explained. Yugi, still clinging to Yami flushed slightly at something, but nodded with the rest. Soon enough Ryou turned.
"I guess.. we should go home, it's getting late!" he said, then he stopped and stared at Akefia. Bakura stared at him in confusion as Akefia continued to hug Roku.
"I'm just wondering if we still have that extra bed?" Ryou muttered.
"Oh yeah.. that one, I think it's still there!" Bakura stated.
"Good.. Akefia, your with us" Ryou said, smiling.
"Why?" Akefia whined, obviously wanting to stay with Roku.
"Because I live with Tori, you think I'm gonna come with you? Ryou probably doesn't have space enough for me and we don't have any other beds.." there was a long moment of silence before Roku looked like she was about to hit Akefia.
"No, you will not share bed with me idiot, this body belongs to my hikari, Roki!" Roku said, growling at the suggestive look Akefia had given her earlier. Akefia pouted, but didn't protest. Soon Bakura and Ryou left with Akefia as Yugi sighed.
"I guess Atem could stay in your room Yami?" Yugi asked.
"I guess.." Yami just answered. Atem raised an eyebrow.
"What about you?" he asked. Yami's cheeks reddened before he looked away.
"I'll stay in Yugi's room of course.. till we manage to get you a bed!" Yami stated.
"Um.. I think it's best we leave too" Tori said and Atem spun around before embracing her tightly. Roku sighed and rolled her eyes at the two before she walked out into the hall to get her shoes on. Tori looked up at Atem before he crashed his lips against hers and she gasped. Yugi blushed brightly before he turned to look at Yami, who rolled his eyes and grabbed Yugi's waist. The teen whispered something to Yugi, wich made him squeak and his blush darken even more. Atem backed of from Tori, who looked a little dazed. The former Pharaoh turned to the two other in the room before he slowly let go of Tori, but not without pouting.
"Come on, you'll see her later.. like at school!" Yami said, a hand of his had made it around Yugi and was resting on his hip. Atem blinked, then he smirked. Yami and Yugi stared at him with wide eyes.
"Atem?" Yugi asked. Yami too looked like he wanted to ask, but refrained from it. Atem just smirked even more, like he had found out a secret between the two duelists and Yugi's cheeks darkened. Tori sighed before she turned towards the hall, where Roku was waiting.
"I'll see you later then" she said before she pecked Atem's cheek and walked out into the hall way. To escaped Atem's smirk, Yami and Yugi walked out into the hall as well and said bye to the two girls. Just as soon as the door was closed, Atem wrapped his arms around the two boys, standing between them.
"So.. how long has it been since the two of you got together?" he asked. Both teens twirled around, spluttering excuses and making other statements. Atem laughed at the two and they soon stopped muttering or talking.
"I know you two very well, I also know you two has had an eye for each other for a long time.. so spit it out!" Atem said. Yami and Yugi exchanged embarrassed and slightly worried looks before Yami took a hold of Atem's arm and pulled him up the stairs, Yugi tagging along behind. Soon all three were in Yugi's room. Yami let go of Atem as Yugi closed the door. Atem sat down on the hikari's bed before he looked at the two.
"Why are you acting so odd?" he asked.
"Atem.. how do you think Soguroku would react if he knew about the two of us?" Yami asked. Atem frowned.
"Would he react any other way than accepting you?" he asked.
"Well, anyone could react the other way.. just look at Anzu, she continuously threatens Yugi to keep away from you so.. what did she say again.. oh yeah 'keep Atem from turning gay as well'!" Yami said with a growl, Yugi just stood there, looking at the floor. Atem growled as well before he got to his feet.
"It's stupid.. you can't keep someone from falling in love, gender and age isn't a matter!" Atem said angrily. Yugi whimpered and hid behind Yami, who frowned and glared at Atem, who sighed.
"Sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to be harsh.. it's just, aggravates me that Anzu keeps on hurting you when it's me she's after.. and I don't even like her that way!" Atem said. Yugi nodded, but still kept close to Yami. Then Atem realised why they hadn't told Soguroku yet.
"Your afraid aren't you?" Atem suddenly asked gently, smiling at the two. Yami swallowed before he slowly nodded.
"I can understand that.. it's normal to be afraid of not being accepted!" Atem said.
"Atem..." Yami began, but Yugi was faster as he hugged Atem.
"Thank you.." the smallest teen whispered.
"No problem Yugi, anything for you.. and my brother!" Atem said, laughing at Yami's pout.
Tori sighed as she and Roku walked down the street.
"It's been a while since I've seen them.. it feels good seeing them again" she said.
"Yes it did.." Roku agreed.
"You two.. aren't you gonna tell them about the other stuff we've been through?" Roki asked, appearing beside the two girls in spirit form. Roku stared at her before she shook her head.
"Not yet.. I want to see them squirm a little more" then she laughed evilly.
"Roku.." Roki whined.
"I don't think she meant that.. it's just.. we don't want them to worry" Tori said. Thus they all fell into a silence as Roku bowed her head, letting her black bangs cover her eyes.
"I don't want.. Akefia to be worried about me.. more than he was.. back in ancient Egypt" Roku said. Tori smiled at her and nodded.
"I can understand that!" Tori said.
"But.. what if something happens? I don't think they'll let it go just like that" Toru said, appearing beside Tori. The blonde girl nodded thoughtfully before she stopped and stared at the other three, who stared back at her.
"Tori?" Roku asked.
"Can you feel that?" Tori asked, looking around. Roku frowned.
"Feel what?" Toru and Roki asked, then they noticed the look of Roku's face.
"Roku?" Roki asked, worried.
"I feel it too.. something dark.. dangerous.. and evil.. it's close, but in the direction.. THE GAME SHOP?" all four girls gasped out before the two real ones spun around and ran down the street.
Yami hadn't even closed the door to Yugi's bedroom before a blinding light exploded in front of the two, throwing them against the wall. Yugi screamed as pain ripped through his body, making Yami cry out as well. Soon enough Atem was banging on the door, shouting their names and asking what was going on. Down stairs, Soguroku had barely registered the screams from upstairs before the two girls came through the front door. Tori and Roku looked at him, then they were startled out of their freeze when Yugi screamed from his room upstairs. The two then bolted up said stairs, soon meeting a bewildered and worried Atem.
"What's going on?" Tori asked.
"Someting.. is in there.. with Yami and Yugi" Atem breathed out, soon enough his shadow powers activated and it basically pried the door off, slamming it into the wall opposite of them. Before them, someone, or something stood. Yugi was lying face down on the floor and Yami on his just a few feet away. Both were bloody and seemed to be unconscious.
"Yami, Yugi.. you.. you, what have you done?" Atem roared. The glowing thing looked at him, black eyes looked at him before the glowing exploded. Sending the three awake teen into the wall. Roku gasped out while Tori cried out. Atem groaned and got to his feet, then he noticed that Yami was moving.
"Bastard..." the teen on the floor muttered, his hands was shaking as he tried to sit up, but something hit Yami and his head hit the floor a second later. The pale teen let out a cry of pain and stopped moving. Atem growled.
"Yami!" Atem roared, launching a pulse of shadow power at the glowing thing, but the shadow powers peeled off, not able to harm the light in any way. Atem sighed.
"Of course, light removes shadows.." he muttered.
"Not.. if the light.. is evil.." someone whispered and Atem stopped just a second to locate where the voice came from. Tori gasped as she, just like the rest noticed that Yugi had raised his face, his eyes was half open and his tired, painful amethyst eyes made the other teens ache to save him and Yami.
"Yugi, don't talk, just relax and keep awake!" Atem said. Yugi smiled, then his head banged into the floor and he stayed silent. Atem cursed loudly on his native tongue as Soguroku came up the stairs.
"No, stay down stairs Soguroku" Atem said and the older man frowned.
"Why?"
"Something.. is hurting Yami and Yugi, I can't.. let you get hurt" Atem said, suddenly he noticed something on the floating light and gasped out. Suddenly an arm of light shot out of the floating ball, hit Atem square in the chest and wrapped itself around him before dragging him into the room. All of this happened in the matter of second and Tori cried out as she watched him get pulled closer and closer to the light. Roku and Tori looked at each other before they got to their feet.
"You are not hurting them like you hurt us!" Roku roared. The eye of Horus appeared on both the girls forehead and their Millenium Item's began to glow. The light in Yugi's room screamed in pain as something lashed out and hit it, something invisible. Atem let out a gasp as he was let go and he fell to the floor. The glowing light shot out an arm again, but this time it just hit Atem and threw him out of the room. Atem gasped as he painfully got to his feet. He realised all to late what the floating light wanted, but he couldn't do anything as the light exploded seemingly on the spot, blinding everyone.
"NO!" Atem shouted as the two girls winced and fell to the floor, shielding their eyes. When they light had subdued. All three were sitting on the floor, but Atem's eyes was already open and he sprung to his feet and ran into Yugi's room.
"No.. Yami.. Yugi!" in a matter of seconds, had Atem turned the whole room upside down in the search of his two friends. Well, Yami and Yugi couldn't just have disappeared, could they? So why didn't Atem realise this sooner? Because he was making a havoc. Roku ran over and grabbed his arms.
"Atem, stop it.. they're not here!" she screamed into his face and he turned. His deep red eyes shot hell fire, and Roku whimpered. Tori ran up to Atem as well before she grasped his face in her hands.
"Atem, calm down.. we'll find them, one way or another!" she said. When she finally managed to get him to calm down, he didn't just relax, he completely broke down, with tears and all that. Tori sat down beside Atem, hugging him.
"It's going to be fine Atem.." she cooed, but Atem didn't seem to hear her.
"I was right there.." he muttered, digging his face into the crock of Tori's neck.
"I was right there, and yet I couldn't protect them.. now I'm lost both my brother and my best friend.." he stuttered out, hiding the tears and sobs that racked his body. Tori looked at Roku and noticed the tears in her eyes, knowing she had tears in her own eyes as well.
"Atem, we will save them" Tori said, hugging Atem tightly. The tears rolled down her cheeks as she closed her eyes.
"Tori.. I can't sense them at all.." Toru said in Tori's mind.
"Yes, I know.. but I wont let Atem know just yet" Tori answered.
"Okay.. I'll try and see if I can't find some remaining powers from the thing that was here" Toru said, then her voice faded off as Tori suspected she was on her own tirate to find any clue to where the light could have headed with their friends. Atem held Tori close as the two hikari girls searched the room for anything that could lead them to Yami and Yugi, but nothing turned up, yet. Atem's eyes looked up through the window, at the darkening sky.
"Yami, Yugi.. I will save you!"
*Runs for it* NOT MY FAULT!
Atem: About what? *fumes*
Me: ... that.. Yami and Yugi.. disappeared?
Atem: *glares*
Me: Yeah.. I was bored and wanted something to happen.. AND I want more reviews! Seriously, I can't have you talk and talk and talk about boring stuff, I need to have reason to poke into Tori and Roku's past! *glares back*
Atem: *shows middle finger and walks away* I hate you!
Me: D: oh no.. *stares* I don't really care.. just remember to review! :D
