Chapter 11

After Yami had fallen asleep that night Atemu laid awake, thinking. Yami needed his help, unfortunately in order for Yami to recover completely was beyond his power no matter how much he wished that wasn't the case.

Atemu held Yami to his chest before he closed his eyes and allowed his spirit to leave his body. He needed to find out how to heal Yami, and there wasn't anyone or anything that would stand in his way.

Atemu's spirit traveled into the dimension that held the Egyptian Gods. He approached a temple to the Egyptian gods. He walked into the temple and bowed.

"Mighty Egyptian gods, it is I your son Atemu. I come to you in dire need of assistance." Atemu said.

For a moment there was nothing, then the temple was bathed in a bright light. When the light had faded Atemu gazed upon the gods he and his people had worshipped.

"Speak, son of Aknamkanon, Kkwy of Yami." Ra said.

"I come here on behalf of Yami, who was injured through the greed of another. The injury that was done to him is beyond my ability to heal. So, I come to you in the hopes that you may grant me the knowledge and the ability to help him. He means more to me than anything and I hate to see him suffering like this. Please, help me to help him." Atemu said.

"Your Anku was hurt. How could you have allowed that to happen? It was your job to protect him at all costs." Ra snapped.

"Easy Ra, it was not Atemu's fault. He did try to stop what had happened, but his anku had not listened to his warning. There was nothing more he could have done." Horus said. Horus, of all the gods was one of the ones who felt the most sympathy for Atemu since he had served as Pharaoh.

"Be that as it may, the anku was still hurt." Ra snapped. Ra was partial to hikari's and when one was harmed it really pissed him off.

"And I have already dealt with the one responsible for that and have come to you for guidance on how to help him heal." Atemu said.

"Very well. We might be willing to help you Atemu, however in order for Yami to heal it will not be without a price." Anubis said.

"Name your price, whatever it is you need you shall have it. There is nothing I will not do for Yami." Atemu said without even a moments hesitation.

The gods looked at each other for a moment, silently conversing with each other. Before Seth spoke up. "We will give you a potion which, you are to give Yami to drink. This potion will put Yami to sleep for six days. During those six days you will have to make one sacrifice each day. On the first day you will have to offer the blood of an enemy of your anku."

"On the second day," Hathor said, "You will need to burn the heart of the one who seeks to steal your anku from you."

"On the third day you will have to offer than hand of the one who trapped your Anku in the past." Horus said.

"On the fourth day you will have to offer the strength of a rival." Anubis said.

"On the fifth day you, Atemu will have to spill your own blood in sacrifice." Ra said.

"And on the sixth day, you will have to sacrifice the portion of soul your anku has lost so that he may be made whole again." Heka, the Egyptian God of Magic said.

"If you do all of these things, than you Kkwy of Yami will heal your anku." Osiris said.

"So, do you accept?" Isis asked.

"Of course. However, I have a question, are the sacrifices on the third and fourth day supposed to be the same?" Atemu asked.

"No, your anku has many rivals." Ra said.

"Very well, I will do as you have said." Atemu said.

"Then here, take the potion to give to your anku." Ra said, holding out the vial with the potion of the gods within it.

Atemu took the potion and bowed, "Thank you gods of Egypt."

The gods said nothing, just vanished into nothing. Atemu then returned home.

Once he had returned to his body he carefully got out of bed so that he didn't wake Yami up. He looked down at the vial in his hand and thought about the task that he would have to complete. This would not be easy.

The blood on an enemy. That would be Bakura. That means that the day I give Yami the potion I have to acquire Bakura's blood by midnight that night to offer. The second day I need to burn Anzu's heart in offering to the gods. On the third day I have to offer the hand of the one who trapped Yami in the puzzle…that was my cousin Seth, so that means that I have to offer up Kaiba's hand. And then the strength of a rival. I'll have to drain the strength of…Joey and offer it. And the fifth day I must offer my own blood. But, the sixth day I need to sacrifice Yugi's soul.

Atemu sighed. He knew that he needed to do this and that in his mind Yami was worth the sacrifice, he didn't doubt it in the least. However, the question was would Yami be okay with Atemu making this sacrifice on his behalf. Atemu didn't think he would be. Yami didn't believe in what he called needlessly hurting others which is what Yami would have seen this as.

Atemu sighed before he put the vial in his nightstand and crawled back into bed. He'd think about this more in the morning. Fortunately he didn't have a deadline to make this decision by. So he could weigh the pros and cons.

A/N: Anyway, I hope you all like this. Please read and review.
