Yeah, hi! I'm sorry I'm so late to update.. yeah, a week, anyway, I'm running a game-marathon at the moment so I guess I'll be fast! There was some confusion about wherever Kaiba went with them or not, he didn't... however, his ancient self (before Seth) lived with them, Sentho.. he just hasn't remembered... and to tell you, I re-wrote this damned chapter like 4 times so be happy with it *grumble*
There, enjoy :)
Chapter 1.
Welcome Back.
The wind surged and filled the tomb with fresh, but sandy air. The door to the sealed of chamber though, did not let any of this enter just yet. Inside of the sealed doors, the sacred memorial doors was. It looked like it did five years ago, when the people searching for it, finally found it. The doors didn't even seem to mind the dust that had gathered over the years. Suddenly, as if someone had pushed a button, the door moved, rumble and dust falling off as the doors slowly slid apart. Light filled the room and it's lonely pillars until someone walked through the door. The first on was a young man in his early twenties, then a lot of others in their twenties followed, except one of them, who was a lot younger, now in his late teens.
"Are we.. back?" the youngest of them all asked. The one that had come first turned and smiled.
"It seems we have, let's get out and see how the world have changed." the man said. Everyone moved along and laughed, chatted and bounced as they entered the main part of the tomb, the fresh air hitting them like a brick wall.
"I think the tomb's open.." a black-haired man said.
"Yeah.. I agree" another one of them agreed.
"Maybe someone's outside?" one of the two women asked. The one who first came looked at her.
"Perhaps.. if so.. let's hope it's someone who won't hurt us.."
"Hey, someone's coming." Rebbecca said and everyone stilled, then they listened. True, they heard laughter, talking and steps from inside the tomb. Hope and eager appeared on everyone's faces as the first person exited the tomb.
"Y-Yugi!" Rebbecca asked, the man turned to her and his face lit up. The Yugi they once knew had grown quite a lot, he was now only a head shorter than Kaiba, his tanned skin and tri-colored hair standing out against the brown-gray stones. Yugi, despite his short pants and easy tank top on their demise, now wore a tunic, with a sash that had a soft, amethyst color that hung down one side of his hip. His bangs was now long again, one reached to the middle of his tight and the other to his hip. He also had a cape, which was deep red, like a certain former Pharaoh's eyes. The gold bracelets and ear-rings shone in the sun. On the young man's head, a crown rested, those amethyst jewels shone in the strong light. A pair of mature, yet innocent bright amethyst eyes looked around himself with something along the line of shock.
"Rebbecca, Arthur.. Kaiba? Ishizu and Odion as well?" Yugi asked, smiling softly as Rebbecca threw herself at him.
"Oi kid, get off him." another man said, he was a lot taller than Yugi, almost as tall as Kaiba and had blonde hair. His golden eyes searched through the people awaiting for them, they stopped at Kaiba, who stared back. Joey, like Yugi, did not wear the same clothes he had when he left. He wore a long tunic with a brown sash and two pairs of swords rested on his hips, he wore a lot of golden bracelets as well, but they were not of the same quality as Yugi's.
"Joey?" Kaiba asked, he had never seen Joey with such a dark tan, nice build and a handsome looks. Next second, Joey bounced over and right into his boyfriends awaiting arms, laughing happily, Kaiba smirked and kissed the unsuspecting man in his arms. Joey stared up at him with a deep blush before he returned the kiss and closed his eyes.
"Geez Joey, can't you wait till after you were alone with him?" Tristan said as he and Duke exited. These two also wore ancient clothes, Tristan wore a dark gray with brown edged tunic and had bandages on his arms and legs. Duke though was wearing a black with gray edged tunic and had black bonds on his ankles and wrists. Yugi turned and saw Atem come out as well and he somehow got out of Rebbecca's hold to join his boyfriend. Atem had also grown quite a lot and was almost as tall as Joey, which means he was larger than Yugi, but not as tall as Kaiba. He wore a similar tunic to the one Yugi wore, but it was a tiny bit longer and he had a red sash instead of amethyst, he did however not wear a cape like the smaller King. Then the two girls came out with Mokuba, who ran over to his brother the second he saw him. Téa was wearing a long dress which was cream colored and she had a lot of ankle-bracelets and same on her wrists, making her a nice dancer. Serenity though, did not wear such ornaments, but she did have the dress, although different in taste and look. Mokuba smiled up at him brother, he did not have the same type of tunic that the rest had, he had a easy dress with a cape and some fancy looking ornaments, both in hair and on his arms. Téa and Serenity walked over to Arthur and greeted him. Then the two last came out and Ishizu nearly began to cry.
"Ishizu, Odion" Malik exclaimed and ran to his sister and brother, they both greeted him as Ryou came out as well, he blushed when he saw Malik before he stopped a little away from the rest. Then Malik got a hold of him and dragged him over to his siblings. Malik wore a cream colored tunic with lavender-colored bonds and sash, this fitted to his eyes and hair, he also had a dagger and a sword, most certainly dipped in poison. Ryou though, was wearing a white tunic with brown edges, but he did not have much of jewelry on him.
"So.. how has it been?" Yugi asked. Rebbecca eyed him before she looked at Arthur, who smiled and nodded to Kaiba and the rest.
"It's been five years since you left.." he said and Yugi blinked.
"Five? We have all lived our lives.. Mokuba was the last to join us.. just.. a few hours ago or so.." Yugi stated, Arthur chuckled.
"It's probably different in the world of memories.." he explained and Yugi nodded.
"Isn't anyone else hungry?" Joey suddenly asked, accompanied by a sudden growl from his stomach and everyone laughed, well, Kaiba just smirked. Yugi and Atem both laughed at Joey, who pouted and clung to Kaiba.
"But I'm hungry." he whimpered and looked up at Kaiba, who stared back and raised an eyebrow.
"Fine! There's food on the jet." he grumbled and the young man hugged him.
"Thank's." Joey said and kissed his boyfriend on his cheek.
"I guess we should head back to Japan too, seeing it's been five years and all." Yugi said, Atem turned and nodded. Kaiba turned to them and stared for a good minute or two, then he smirked.
"There's a duel tournament soon, are you going to enter?" he asked.
"There is?" Yugi asked, eager written all over his face.
"Should we join Yugi? I mean.. it's been long since we battled now.. I think we're out of practice!" Atem said with a chuckled and wrapped his arms around Yugi, who blushed and squeaked, then he relaxed.
"That would be cool, it'd be like a comeback wouldn't it?" Yugi said and smiled up at his boyfriend.
"Then.. Malik, are you and Ryou staying here?" Atem asked, looking over his shoulder, the two exchanged looks and blushed. Though Ishizu just blinked and stared at her brother with a confused look.
"What is he talking about Malik?" she asked.
"Actually, I think I'd rather move to Japan with Ryou, if that is possible" he said with a smile. Ryou blushed and looked down at the sand that lay there. Atem snickered at the shocked look that came over Ishizu's face when Malik said this and he needed Yugi to hold him from falling to the ground, laughing his mirth out.
"Yugi!" Kaiba called and the young man turned.
"Yes?" he asked and wriggled out of Atem's hold.
"You should be aware that as soon as you enter Japan, your parents will be on you right?" Kaiba stated and Yugi paled, then he looked down and nodded slowly. Atem growled and wrapped his tanned arms around the smaller form.
"They wont get near him." he hissed and glared up at Kaiba, who snickered.
"I'm sure they don't." he stated, turned around and walked away.
"Brother.." Mokuba and Joey called out, then they ran after him.
"The plane's leaving in one hour!" he called. Malik gawked and turned to Ryou, who turned to him. Yugi saw this and pulled Atem away with him. Everyone else also walked after Kaiba, snickering at the scene. Ryou had been kissed by Malik, no less right in front of his own siblings. Ishizu gaped and Odion just shook his head and turned around, massaging his forehead.
"M-Malik?" Ryou gasped out when they parted, Malik just grinned and kissed once more, this time just a small peck.
"I'll move to Japan, can I live with you?" the Egyptian asked and Ryou turned beet red. Yugi looked over his shoulder to see the albino nod and Malik wrap his arms around him.
"I'll come as soon as I can." he said and let go, Ryou looked at him before he turned to the rest. He gave Malik one last smile before he left with the rest.
"I'll wait for you." Ryou murmured. Suddenly Yugi stopped and looked to his right, so the rest did. Atem stopped as well before he gawked.
"Wait one fucking second.. they've managed to find the palace?" he asked.
"They dug it out a year ago and they're still at it.. but it's so far down." Arthur explained. Yugi and Atem exchanged shocked looks before the smallest one grinned. Joey stopped, thus Kaiba almost fell forward was well.
"Wouldn't it be nice to see how it looks now?" Joey asked. Yugi nodded.
"It really would." he murmured. Then the other guys stared at Kaiba, who sighed.
"Fine, we'll leave later today!" he muttered and everyone smiled.
"Wow.." Yugi whispered as he walked down the all to familiar hall in the ancient palace. Atem walked right behind and was just smirking. Joey was dragging Kaiba along, telling him all kind of stuff.
"Joey, have you told him that there was a man in our past who looked like him, was Mokuba's big brother and was named Sentho?" Atem asked and Kaiba frowned.
"What?" the CEO asked. Joey snickered.
"Yeah.. he was da former King's priest.. well, Yugi's father dat is.. not that any of us ever liked dat guy.. an' Sentho wasn't any more popular dan him.." Joey stated, shrugging his shoulder, though the flush on his cheeks was very much evident. Kaiba stared at him before he frowned. Everyone laughed as Joey walked right into a wall.
"What da fuck? This wall wasn't here before!" he exclaimed and cursed.
"Your right." Yugi said.
"That wall was put in after you guys died." Mokuba said. Yugi nodded slowly.
"This hall do lead to the older parts of the palace, so where's the other opening?" Atem stated. Mokuba pondered about it before he smiled.
"It's further down the hall.. hey Yugi, come here!" Mokuba said and Yugi followed him down the hall, the rest of the gang on their heels. Yugi and Mokuba walked down until they walked through an opening that used to be closed by doors. The doors was open so everyone could walk in as they wanted. Yugi gasped.
"The throne.. I thought you threw that old thing away?" he said, shocked.
"I couldn't just do that, it was your old throne as well!" Mokuba stated, laughing.
"Thank you." Yugi said, smiling. They noticed that there was a group of other people over there as well and for some reason they were watching Yugi and the rest. Yugi had dragged the cape around him so his clothes underneath wouldn't show, they had managed to remove most of the golden rings and all the other ornaments so they wouldn't stand out too much, but they already did.
"Hey Yug.. whatever happened to ya after I died?" Joey asked. Yugi blushed.
"Um.. not much really.. more fighting, then the rest of us.. except Mokuba died, I gave the throne to Mokuba, deciding he fit the best to have it.. and he wasn't in love with another man so it was easier for him to find a wife.. and there you have my question Mokuba, did you ever marry?" he asked. Mokuba smiled, then he nodded.
"Yes, with a beautiful woman named Hashnara, she gave birth to twins, Yamu and Reena!" Mokuba explained.
"Ah! You named your son after me?" Yugi asked, shocked. Mokuba nodded.
Of course! I wanted my son to be named after the most awesome person who has ever lived!" at that Yugi colored up, suddenly some of the people from the other group was standing in front of them and Yugi looked up.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Sorry, we couldn't help but overhear you." the man said and Yugi gaped.
"Y-you speak Japanese?" he asked.
"Yes we do.. but we're a part of the team that goes through this palace.. we heard what you said and wondered if you know something about this place?" the man said. Yugi looked up at Atem, who looked back.
"N-no.. sorry." Yugi said, smiling sadly. The man sighed.
"Okay, I guess, it's just.. you look very much similar to one of the mummies we found at the tombs!" he explained and Yugi batted his eyelashes, playing innocent.
"M-mummies?" he asked, playing more frightened. Atem smirked slightly.
"He's petrified of old tombs and mummies!" Atem stated, a blank lie, but Yugi played along by pouting.
"Atem!" he whined.
"The plane's leaving in two hours!" Kaiba suddenly said, closing his phone.
"Kaiba? Will you drop us off too?" Atem asked, turning to him as the man from the research team went back to the rest of his group, sulking. Yugi smiled to the rest as they turned and exited the ancient great hall. Suddenly Yugi turned and walked down the opposite hall of where they came from. Atem and the rest stared after him before the former Pharaoh decided to follow him.
"We'll meet you outside!" he called before he disappeared as well.
Yugi stood in the old room he once used to have. The bed had survived fairly well, as well as the small desk and whatever else he used to have in his room. He walked over and sat down on the bed, of course it was covered in dust and huge layers rock or rather lava-stone. Yugi pouted as he already missed the feeling of the soft bed under him as he rested against Atem's strong body.
"I knew I'd find you here." a voice stated and Yugi's head jerked around.
"Atem.." Yugi whispered and smiled. Atem came over and sat down beside Yugi.
"You miss it?" Atem asked, Yugi's smile softened.
"A little.. but the war's took it's toll on me.. I really just want to go home and relax, sleep calmly for once in a long time." Yugi said and Atem wrapped an arm around him, gently pulling him closer.
"I know.. then let's go home my most beloved." Atem said and Yugi looked up at him before he smiled.
"Yes, let's do that" Yugi whispered. Atem smiled and kissed him. Yugi moaned slightly before Atem backed out of the kiss and pulled Yugi up as he got to his feet. Yugi was blushing madly as Atem laughed and pulled him over to the old balcony, looking out of the ancient city.
"I can see the others." Atem commented and Yugi looked at where Atem pointed. Then he giggled and gently pecked Atem's cheek, making him turned and grin.
"What are you planning?" Atem asked. Yugi grinned.
"Let's scare them!" he murmured and Atem let out a laughter.
"Yes, I'm in on that!" he said as Yugi let himself change, seconds later Atem did as well. The two creatures smirked at each other before Yugi threw himself out of the balcony, then Atem followed. Both extended their wings before they flew towards the rest of their gang. Yugi grinned, taking out the scythe that usually rested on his back when not used. Atem laughed evilly as he pulled out the sword he held.
"Now?" Atem asked over the mind link when they were only two hundred meters away. Yugi turned his white head and smirked.
"Now!" Yugi answered and both dived with each their war cry. The people on the ground heard it and turned, only to look up, scream and run for it. Yugi and Atem laughed as they chased the gang over the sand. Well, the fun only lasted until Joey turned his head and then promptly stopped.
"YUGI! ATEM!" he shouted and both halted, in which the rest of the running gang stopped as well before they morphed back into their human forms. Yugi and Atem broke down in laughter as they hit the ground softly. The others stared at them as they continued to laugh. Joey walked over and pulled Yugi into a head lock before giving him a noggie. Yugi squirmed and pulled out of the hold.
"Joey!" Yugi whined. Kaiba, Rebbecca and Arthur was the only ones with a confused look as the other people swarmed around Yugi and Atem, scowling them. Kaiba laid a hand on Joey's shoulder.
"What the fuck is this?" he asked.
"Oh, did I ever mention that Yugi and Atem isn't human?" he said. Kaiba's eyebrows suddenly disappeared up high as he opened his mouth, only to close it again and shake his head.
"I doubt they'd let you on board a plane like that either way!" Tristan said and Yugi giggled.
"You really scared us Yugi!" Téa said and Yugi grinned.
"Sorry." he mumbled, scratching his cheek, but grinning like a fool anyway.
"What was that about?" Rebbecca asked and Yugi morphed into his monster form. Atem chuckled deeply and she turned to him.
"This is who we are Rebbecca.. we're half monster, half humans." Atem said. Yugi smiled and wrapped his arms around Atem's waist. The others gathered around them. Kaiba though, frowned.
"How can you be half of both?" he asked.
"Cross breeding of course!" Atem said, this of course sounded way to wrong.
"A-Atem.." Yugi stuttered, blushing deeply.
"Okay, not the right word.. but that's what happened, a mix between the two species have mutated so they can change their forms according to their will.. but they only have two forms, usually the human form and monster form.. me and Yugi has more than two!" Atem explained. Rebbecca furrowed her eyebrows.
"More than two?" she asked.
"Yes, we have our human forms, the usual monster form which you just saw.. and another form.. which I don't think I should show you just yet" Yugi stated.
"Why? Is it secret?" Kaiba asked. The two turned and frowned.
"No, we just don't want to be jumped by people who want to know how it's possible!" Atem growled. Kaiba sighed and turned away.
"People are going to jump you either way when you arrive in Japan again!" he said. Atem and Yugi exchanged worried looks before the tallest of the two shrugged his shoulders, smirking.
"That's what disguises are for, right Ryou?" Atem asked, smirking at Ryou, who nodded slowly, then he giggled.
"Y-yes.. I think we can make up something so you can pass of as someone else, plus, they don't remember you with long hair and a tan!" Ryou stated, Yugi blushed and Atem chuckled.
"Yes, please do help us!" he said, laughing. Yugi giggled. Kaiba sighed.
"We're leaving soon so hurry up!" he said and Ryou sighed, rolling his eys.
"Come on!" he whispered to the two. Yugi and Atem grinned before they nodded.
"Here" Ryou handed Yugi some light clothes, they were white, and light blue, he also had a matching, huge hat to put on and a brown wig to go with it all. Yugi giggled slightly as he disappeared into the bathroom. A few minutes later Yugi came out, dressed with the new clothes. Atem's eyes widened as he took a deep breath, but he didn't have chance to comment as Ryou pushed clothes onto him.
"Get dressed, we don't have much time!" he stated. Atem pouted slightly before he snickered and entered the bathroom. Yugi blushed lightly as he walked over to Ryou, who smiled back at him.
"How.. do I look?" he asked.
"You look cute" Ryou stated and Yugi blushed even more. Yugi shook his head.
"I think I need a cover name." he said and Ryou nodded slowly.
"What about Hikari?" Ryou suggested.
"Light?" Yugi asked and Ryou nodded, then Yugi smiled.
"I like it!" he stated just a mere second before the bathroom door opened and Yugi nearly fainted at the sight. Atem was standing in the door way, dressed in only leather, black, tight, leather. Atem smirked, making sure the black cap he wore was right, though it didn't reall matter when your wearing a black wig. The young man was also wearing a lot of black bracelets. Unlike Yugi who looked so innocent, Atem looked like a sex God, so to speak. Yugi just gaped as he lover, who smirked back.
"Something you want to say Yugi?" Atem asked. Yugi clamped his mouth shut.
"T-that.. you look.. really hot?" Yugi tried and Atem laughed.
"Not more than you! Now let's go!" he stated and wrapped an arm around Yugi's waist, making the smaller one blush. Ryou smiled as he took up the bag he had carried the clothes in.
"Yeah, we have a plane to catch!"
To say everyone was shocked when Yugi and Atem came down to the living room after a clothed make-over was an understatement. Téa and Serenity looked like they were about to faint, but they just squealed. All the boys however just gawked at the two. Joey then grinned Atem's way, trying to ignore the blush creeping onto his face. Kaiba stared at the two before he turned away.
"Let's go!" he said and everyone nodded slightly. Yugi smiled softly.
"Let's go home.." he murmured, just loud enough for everyone to hear it. And they all smiled, even Kaiba.
I'll leave it there.. hey, did ya know how much fun I had scaring them with Yugi and Atem's other forms? So fun, I originally hadn't planned for it like that, but oh well, I guess I can let it go like this for now...
Remember to review okay, or I'll seriously do something to Yugi!
Atem: ... =.= Why him? you always threaten to hurt him?
Me: Cuz it's convenient! And besides.. it's a lot easier to hurt him!
Atem: ... I'll kill you!
Me: Nuhuh.. then this story will never finish and you'll have the readers to deal with!
Atem: Readers? you have one?
Me: ... GO AWAY! *runs away crying*
Atem: ... O.O ... okay, uh.. reviews are really wanted!
