Moi-Moi: These One-shots are completely unrelated. I should probably put some restrictions on these suggestions/ideas. I'm a pretty chill person, but I DO NOT write: yaoi, drug abuse, rape, abuse, alcohol abuse, and bestiality. That's all that comes to mind right now. :) Also, some of the suggestions sound like they lead into a lemon, but you guys never officially said "lemon goes here". If you do want a lemon, you can say so in your suggestion. I have no problema writing lemons.

I know it'll be awhile till you get close to the end of the series. But I've been playing around with this idea for your story. You know in the final duel between Atem and Yugi. Well, what if instead of Atem leaving to the past, he actually has a run in with Midoriko. And she offers him a wish for him to have his own body in the present time. She could explain how since his soul was trapped in the puzzle his soul was unable to be reincarnated like it should have been. Since Kagome was his love in his past. He should have been reincarnated, so that he could be with her again. Since they are soul mates.

Atem walked through his palace alone. He was headed towards his throne room to continue his royal duties. He had been away from his friends and subjects for many millennia, but now he had returned.

Were it not for his partner, he would not be able to be reunited with them all. He was happy. He was supposed to be happy. He had completed his mission. But, he was more miserable now than ever.

The others could sense it, but only his close friend knew the cause. He had explained that Kagome's soul had been reincarnated while he remained dormant within the Millennium Puzzle. She was alive.

He couldn't ask her to give up her life for him. It would be the most selfish thing he could ever do. She had a family and a life in the modern world. When she was ready, she would join him.

"Pharaoh? There you are," Mana spoke poking her head out of a nearby pot. Atem stopped to raise an eyebrow at her. Mana frowned. "You were thinking about her again. Weren't you?"

"It is alright, Mana. I am fine," Atem replied.

"No, you're not. You can't lie to me. You're my best friend. I loved her too. I miss her a lot. I wish you could go to her. It's taking too long for her to come here," Mana spoke softly.

"Thank you Mana. That's means a lot," he says before leaving her alone. Mana sighed heavily before ducking back into her pot. Mahad would still be looking for her and she hadn't mastered her counter spells yet…

Aknamkanon stood at the balcony that overlooked his former kingdom. All this was his son's now. Egypt was experiencing a time of peace and prosperity under his son. Although the people were overjoyed, his son was in less than jovial moods.

He had taken notice and had quickly learned he source of his upset- a woman. Aknamkanon smirked. It would always be a woman to be a man's undoing. From what he had learned, she was a beautiful, kind, and smart queen. He looked forward to meeting his daughter-in-law.

"Father? You summoned me?"

Aknamkanon turned to his son before beckoning him over with his hand. Atem approached his father obediently. "My son, you have done an excellent job. Your people are living trough the golden years. Things could not get better," he complimented.

"Thank you, Father," Atem replied. It gave his ego a stroke to receive such high praise from his father. His eyes scanned over the kingdom as well.

"That is why I must relieve you of your duties."

"What?" Atem questioned. "What are you talking about?"

"I am relieving you of your throne. I shall take over from here, my son. I will rule until your son is ready to assume his place on the throne," Aknamkanon spoke. Atem watched his father with a worried look. Aknamkanon refused to meet his son's eyes until finally; he turned to him and removed his crown.

"But why? What have I done Father?" Atem asked, perhaps a bit louder than necessary.

"Trust me, my son. This is more of a gift than a sentence," Aknamkanon spoke before pushing his son over the balcony's edge. He watched his son fall before turning and making his way back into the palace. "I have held up my end of the bargain. Now, you must uphold your own. Make my son happy once more. I wish to see him smile."

"It shall be done…"

Atem twisted his body mid-air as his cape whipped around him. The fall seemed to be longer than he had anticipated. He stopped his screaming to look to the ground. His eyes widened. Where was the ground?

He was no longer falling onto the hard ground, but falling into a dark void. His descent seemed to slow until he was left floating in the darkened void. He hugged himself, the coldness of the void seeming into him. "Where am I?" he questioned silently.

Atem could feel the void begin to distort as he noticed a small light begin to shine. The light grew in intensity, causing him to shield his eyes. Once he reopened his eyes, he saw a pale woman in some sort of armor with a sword at her side. Her waist-length, dark air hung freed around her. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Do not be afraid, Atem. I have come by request of your father, the former Pharaoh Aknamkanon," she spoke with an echo.

"How do you know my father?" he asked.

"That is irrelevant. He has requested a second chance at life for you-his son. Your life was cut short battling the ultimate evil. It has been decided by the gods to give you a second chance at life."

Atem was speechless. Many questions overtook his mind as he stared at the woman in shock. He was being revived? Would he continue to live with Yugi? Would he have a body of his own? Could he see Kagome?

"Should you accept, you shall be allowed to return to the modern age to continue where you have left off with all your memories. Do you accept these conditions?" the woman asked.

"Yes! Of course!" Atem spoke. His father had done this for him. Atem closed his eyes with a fond smile. He could feel the woman's warm magic spread over his form. "What is your name?"

"Midoriko."

"Thank you, Midoriko," he spoke. He allowed a breath to escape him and his body rested on something cool and soft. Opening his violet eyes, he recognized his surroundings. He was in Yugi's room. His eyes fell on the alarm clock before his eyes shut in exhaustion. '8:50'

Yugi walked with his friends as Jounouchi bragged about a new card he had obtained. Yugi listened to his friend with a smile even after Anzu and Honda had tuned him out. The diminutive teenager's eyes would sometimes flick to his final friend that was walking silently behind the group.

Since returning from Egypt, Kagome had barely spoken to them choosing to stare off into space instead. Yugi and Anzu were truly worried for their friend. It had only been a week. She had left Tokyo to escape heartbreak, but Domino had only brought those feelings back. Would she leave Domino as well?

"Yugi, I wanna try out my new card. Let's have a duel," Jounouchi said.

"Sure Jounouchi-kun. We can do it once we get to my house," Yugi spoke.

The group continued to walk in silence from that point towards the Kame Game Shop. They entered the shop, spotting Sugoroku at the front. He smiled at the teens in unusually higher spirits. "Hey, Jii-chan. You seem happy," Yugi spoke.

"Yugi, you have a friend in your room. I saw him there around lunch, but he was asleep," Sugoroku spoke. Yugi raised a brow.

"My friend?" Yugi questioned. His friends were all here besides Bakura and Otogi. Maybe once of them had come over? "Thanks, Jii-chan."

The group climbed the stairs towards Yugi's door. Yugi turned his door knob and pushed open the door. He froze with a gasp. The other stopped behind him before peering into the room in question. Not watching in front of her, Kagome bumped into Honda's back. "What's going on? Why did you guys stop?" she asked.

They looked back at her with shocked looks. She watched as their eyes went from showing disbelief to excitement to happy. He raised an eyebrow at them. Her curiosity taking over her, she looked to see who had visited Yugi.

There, on Yugi's bed, laid the Pharaoh in is regal glory. He looked to still be wearing his clothes from his time as Pharaoh. She noticed his crown was missing, however. She stepped into the room slowly. Was this another dream? Was he going to disappear? Was she going to wake up only to see that it was a foul joke? She poked his cheek. He felt real.

She continued to poke and prod at him until she heard him groan. His head turned away from her and a displeased grumble of incoherent noises escaped him. She poked him again.

"Mana, leave me be," he mumbled. He was real. Not wasting another second, she wrapped her arms around his with a loud sob. He was here. The sudden movement startled him awake causing him some disorientation. "What?"

"You're here. I can't believe it," he heard. He noticed Anzu, Yugi, Jounouchi, and Honda watching him with happy/knowing looks. He put the pieces together, returning the hug. "I missed you."

"I missed you as well," he responded. He could feel his clothes soaking through at his shoulder. He rubbed a soothing hand along her back.

"I knew he'd be back," Jounouchi said with folded arms and a smug look. Anzu and Honda gave him dry looks.
