Chapter two
When Yami awoke the next morning the first sight he saw was a linen clad chest, which apparently he had been using as a pillow. Yami lifted his head up and met Atemu's amused gaze, apparently Atemu had been watching him sleep for awhile.
"Good morning beloved, did you sleep well?" Atemu asked.
Yami nodded, "Yes, I did Atemu."
Atemu smiled at Yami before he leaned down and gave Yami a kiss on the cheek. "Well, I'm glad to hear that beloved."
However, before Yami could respond a voice echoed through the puzzle.
"Come on Pharaoh, lets finish what we started yesterday. I challenge you to a shadow game."
Yami immediately tensed before he tried to crawl out of bed. Atemu frowned and tightened his grip on Yami, refusing to let him leave. "Atemu, I need to go deal with Bakura." Yami said.
Atemu frown deepened, "No Yami, you stay here and rest beloved. I'll go and deal with the Tomb Robber. I'll show him a dark game he'll never forget. No one gets away with threatening my light." Atemu said before he stood up.
Yami immediately stood up as well and attempted to pull Atemu back down, "You can't go Atemu." Yami said.
"Yami, its my job to play dark games or have you forgotten. I'm the master of the shadows Yami. I'm the reason the puzzle was solved and we were freed in the first place." Atemu said.
Yami frowned, confused. "What do you mean Atemu?"
"Just before we were sealed I created a being out of shadow magic, within which I locked a fraction of your light energy which I then sent into the future. Within this being I also implanted the knowledge necessary to solve the puzzle and release you at the very least. I knew that even if this boy wasn't strong enough to release me you would be able to release me yourself. However, that doesn't matter right now, what does matter is that I need to teach that thief a lesson he'll never forget." Atemu said.
"But Atemu, you can't just take over Aibou's body...he'll know its not me." Yami said.
Atemu frowned slightly at Yami's use of the word Aibou, but let it slide knowing that Yami didn't mean it in the sense his jealous mind had hinted he did. "Who said I was going to take over the boy's body, I'll be using my own body to deal with the Tomb Robber." Atemu said.
"But, Atemu that isn't possible we're spirits residing in the puzzle, we can't just break free from its confines whenever we want." Yami said.
Atemu smirked before he pulled Yami flush against him and said, "Actually we can Yami. Just watch."
Before Yami could say anything both of them were enveloped by a cloud of powerful shadow magic. Yami clutched a hold of Atemu. After a few minutes the cloud disappeared. Yami slowly opened his eyes, which he didn't remember closing and glanced around to notice that he was standing outside the arcade in Domino. Yami glanced up at Atemu who was glaring at the white haired thief from over Yami's shoulder. Yugi was gaping at him from off to Yami's left, Joey was just staring at him in shock, while Anzu looked like she was thanking every deity she could think of for this miracle. Tristan was just staring at him blankly, not sure what to think really. Atemu tightened his hold on Yami possessively before he addressed Bakura, "You want a Dark Game Thief, I'll give a dark game you'll never forget." Atemu growled.
Bakura, Yami could see looked mildly surprised, though he quickly hid it behind his usual cocky smirk. "Bring it on Pharaoh."
Atemu gently released his hold of Yami and gave him a light kiss on the cheek before he whispered, "Stand back beloved, I don't want you getting hurt."
Yami nodded before walking behind Atemu and over towards the gob smacked gang. "Aibou, guys I think it'd be best if we..." Yami began to say only to have Yugi cut him off.
"Wait a minute, YAMI...what are you doing over here? And who's that guy? How did you two get out of the puzzle? Whats going on?"
Yami sighed, and glanced over his shoulder and could see that the shadows had already surrounded the two. Yami could sense Atemu's pleasure and had a strong feeling that Atemu was winning his game with Bakura, 'not that I'm really surprised. I mean even I can beat Bakura in a dark game and I'm a Ra damned hikari.'
Yami turned his attention back onto the gang, 'well it looks like I've got some time on my hands so I might as well start explaining all of this. Though it would be nice if Atemu would help me out.'
/Beloved, Bakura is just about to lose if you wait five minutes I'll join you./
//Alright, I'll wait for you Atemu.//
/Good./
"Well, guys I'll answer your questions in about five minutes. Okay?" Yami said. Joey, Yugi and Tristan all nodded, while Anzu immediately latched onto Yami's arm and said "Of course its okay Yami-koi, however you and I could talk now about where you're taking me on our date tonight?"
Yami tried to pry the girl, sorry that should say leach, off his arm but sadly she just wouldn't let go of him. "Anzu, let go of me." Yami growled, though Anzu ignored him.
Yami was about to tell Anzu off again when she was quite harshly ripped off of him. Yami looked up and caught sight of a pissed off Atemu glaring at Anzu with a look of pure rage, a look that if Yami remembered correctly Atemu reserved for his most hated enemies...which usually met Bakura or Akhundin following his betrayal. "Keep your paws off my lover." Atemu growled, squeezing Anzu's arm hard enough to leave a nasty bruise, though that didn't stop him. Yami walked forward and grabbed a hold of Atemu's forearm, silently pleading with Atemu to release her.
/Beloved this bitch deserves to die, she TOUCHED you. That is UNFORGIVABLE Yami, absolutely UNFORGIVABLE. I've sentenced people to death for so much as LOOKING at you the wrong way./
//That was a long time ago Atemu, you can't go around killing people who do something you don't like. This isn't ancient Egypt./ /
/This bitch needs to die Yami./
//Atemu, can't you just let her off with a warning? You can tell her that if she does something like this again you'll kill her.//
/Would you let me kill her if she re-offended?/
//If she was dumb enough to do so a second time, yes I would stand back and let you do what you want.//
/Then I will let her live...for now./
//Thank you Atemu.//
Atemu released his grip on Anzu's arm and wrapped the arm he had been using to crush Anzu's wrist around Yami's waist possessively. "Heed this warning Bitch, Yami is mine. He was mine in ancient Egypt and he is mine still today. You touch him again, hell you so much as look at him the wrong way again and I am going to murder you in the most painful method I can come up with. I promise you this Bitch."
Anzu just gaped at Atemu, though before she could respond Yugi spoke up.
"So, is anyone going to tell us what is going on here?" Yugi asked.
Yami turned to face Yugi, Atemu following his gaze. "Sure Aibou, where do you want us to begin?"
"Well, why don't you start with who he is and where he came from." Yugi said.
Yami smiled slightly, "Well, everyone this is Atemu." Yami said.
"And Atemu is..." Yugi prompted.
"Yami's kkwy or dark, not to mention his lover and ruler of the shadows." Atemu said.
"Oh." Yugi said, "Okay then."
"Does anyone else have any questions, because if not then Yami and I will be going." Atemu said.
Yugi looked like he wanted to ask something else, but once he saw the look Atemu was giving him and his friends decided against it and said, "Nah, you guys go ahead and have fun. I'll see you later though, right Yami?" Yugi asked.
Yami glanced up at Atemu who shrugged, "Yami and I are going to go and find a place to live. And then we are going to get settled in. If you happen to run to us later than you will see us later, however we will not be coming to seek you out." Atemu said.
"Wait you're moving out?!" Yugi said.
"Of course we are." Atemu said.
"But, why? You can stay in the guest room at the Game Shop." Yugi said.
//Atemu, it wouldn't be so bad if we stayed at the Game Shop. Yugi's done a lot for me and I don't like the idea of him being left alone.//
/Yami, but you and I won't be left alone...and I like having time alone with you. And besides, Yugi has served his purpose. As far as I'm concerned he has no reason to exist anymore./
//Atemu don't say something like that. Yugi is a great person and the reason why we're not still trapped in the puzzle anymore. Also, Yugi wouldn't come between you and I. He's not like that.//
/Fine, we'll stay. But he does anything to interrupt us then we'll be out of there./
Yami nodded and gave Atemu a peck on the cheek.
"We'll stay...for now." Atemu said, then he turned Yami and said, "we need to be going Desert Rose, you still need to rest. And you and I need to finish getting acquainted." Atemu whispered huskily, which made Yami blush. Atemu smirked before he pulled Yami in for a quick kiss before the two were enveloped in a cloud of shadow magic, transporting them back to the Game Shop's guest room.
"Now then my beloved Anku, you and I have a lot of catching up to do." Atemu said as he pushed Yami on to the bed and climbed on to join him.
"Well, then what are you waiting for?" Yami said.
Atemu smirked before he pressed his lips to Yami's, his hands sliding up Yami's shirt.
A/N: And this is where it'll end. For now.
