Altered Memories

Chapter 1

Returns

"Your back!" Solomon said.

"Yes and I believe this is yours" Atem said after walking over to Solomon and picked up the letter, Solomon took back the letter, he couldn't stop staring at Atem, he still couldn't believe it. Solomon snaps out of it and pulls Atem into a surprisingly strong hug, and let go after a little bit, "It's good to see you too Solomon"

"You can just call me Grandpa" Solomon smiled, then looking at Yugi "Have you let the gang know?"

"I've left them all a message to come round after we have closed; you know they'll want to turn Atem's return into a party." Yugi replied, then everyone laughed knowing it was going to end up true.

Unknown to them, outside in the shadows, they were being watched.

"Open the letter you old fool" the being hissed to himself. "I've waited long enough for my plans to commence."

The being watched on as Yugi, Solomon and Atem closed up the shop and went upstairs to the house. The being moved among the shadows, to be able to see the three males more easily. It watched as the three talked, laughed and were happy waiting for the others to show up.

"Though I did not expect your return little king, but I know just how to deal with you!" then the being smiled a cruel smile.

"Hey! Joey, Tristan." Tea shouted, as she ran after them. They turned to look at her.

"Hey Tea, so you got Yugi's message then?" Said Joey.

"Yeah"

"I wonder what's going on; it's not like Yugi to be vague" said Tristan, "I hope he is ok"

"No need to worry buddy, I'm sure he is fine." Joey replied, trying to be his normal opportunist self.

They continued they rest of their journey in silence not know what to say all worry about Yugi he

hadn't been this secretive since he solved the millennium puzzle. They finally reached the front door,

looking at each other than at the game store itself.

"Well don't all jump at once" said Tristan. He grabbed the door handle, and let everyone in.

In the shadow realm there sat a lost soul or what was left of one after 5000 years of being devoured

by the shadows.

"Thief King, my, my how far you have fallen." The being said to Bakura.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"Now, now no need to get angry at me I'm here to give you a proposition that may save you from

this." The being looked around at what the shadows were tormenting him with.

"Why would I do that?" Bakura asked.

"Well you have a chance of life and you can't be tormented any more then you are now."

"True." Growled Bakura trying to ignore his personalized torture.

"I'm going to complete what my father started. But I need a few people out of my way."

"You want me to kill them." Said Bakura with a smile.

"Of course and before you ask its chance at revenge. That's why I've chosen you."

"Tell me who you are."

"I am Thanatos the god of tortured spirits, and I want you to kill Yugi Moto and the newly reborn Atem." Said Thanatos.

"I'm in." said Bakura. With that Thanatos teleported them both from the shadow realm and grated Bakura life once again.

Tea, Joey and Tristan stood there in living room with Solomon and Yugi. Atem is hiding in the hall way just out of view.

"So why did you call us here, are you alright asked." Asked Tea.

"I'm fine, I just have a bit of a surprise for you." Said Yugi, Solomon chuckled.

"A bit of a surprise, that's an understatement Yugi." Solomon added in.

"Spare the soap drama build up and just tell us." Joey stressed.

"Cool it Joey." Stated Tristan.

"I can't tell you, It's just best to show you. you should come out now before they explode."

Yugi moved from in front of the door way and Atem walked out.

"Hello guys." The gang were awe struck.

"Oh my .." said tea

"Is it really you?" asked Tristan.

"Yeah it's me." Atem replied.

"This so calls for a…"
