Chapter 5:Yugi and Atem
Atem's POV
Bakura was back! That I knew. What I didn't know was how. How could the gods have brought him back? Of all people to bring back into this world they choose that Bastard?! Why!? And finally, when I gain a master who actually cares for me and sees me as a person, not a possession Bakura has to come back and ruin it for me! He will try to hurt Yugi just to get to me! I can not let that happen!

Yugi's POV
It has been a week since Atem arrived, and things have been good. Atem and I have gotten to know each other more. My feelings for him have grown as well. I….I love him. He is truly the best thing to happen in my life. I have learned a little more of his past these last 5,000 years, and to say I wasn't shocked, I would be lying out my ass! The life he has had to live, is absolutely horrendous! To think that he was once a PHARAOH of Egypt, only to have his entire life stripped from him in one single night! It absolutely angered me! Atem is nothing but a special person, a kind hearted person who would do almost anything for you without even expecting anything in return. If the thief king had instead given Atem the chance to come up with a solution to their problem without having to result to this terrible cruelty against him, I believe that Atem would have been merciful. Atem would have most likely for the sake of his people, given himself over to the thief king as a personal slave willingly, had the thief king not forced the position on him by placing him under the spell. He would have given his life to him if it meant saving others! This is why I love him! He cares for others, regardless of his own needs! I still often catch him crying at night over his situation. To see his tears, it hurts me to see him that way.
How could ANYONE hurt such an amazing person, just to gain possession over another being against their will!? How?!

Atem's POV
I had to tell him about Bakura. There was nothing that I could do to hide this fact from him. My feelings for Yugi over the past week have grown significantly. I….I love him. He was the best thing to happen in my life. I am glad fate brought me to him. I would not change anything. He makes me smile, laugh, and makes my heart feel warm inside when he is near. Out of all the masters I have been forced to be with, Yugi is the only master that I would gladly take slavery for over my freedom. If it meant keeping him safe, I would gladly stay a slave forever and please other masters in several years time just to stay with him till his death. I would give my life for his!
I will protect him from Bakura, no matter the cost. I have opened up to Yugi more about my past, and to say that I did not feel much better for doing so, I would by lying my ass off! The time we have had together truly has made me happy. Tonight…I will tell him the truth about Bakura. He deserves the truth. He has indeed earned not only my trust, but my love and my heart….
