Chapter 43

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

Yami showed Yugi and Ryou to the library even though Atemu, Bakura and Akefia were with them they were silent and at the back. Atemu was thinking about what they were going to do about Yugi's grandfather and the search party. They couldn't very well kidnap them as well cause that would bring unwanted attention around and they couldn't scare them that would cause the same issue with unwanted attention. He knew he either had to leave them be till they decided to call off the search or get Yugi's grandfather to call them off. He knew he would probably have to get the two to say goodbye before erasing his grandfather's memory but it was something he was probably have to do.

Atemu sighed as he sat down in one of the chairs in the library by a fire that Bakura lit when they entered. Yugi and Ryou were staring at all the books around them and most of the books in the library were in piles on the floor. Obviously after having been read were tossed into a pile. Yugi walked over to a pile and looked through a few of the books and found that some were ancient Egyptian but some were a different writing as well.

Yugi knew he couldn't read any of it but it still fascinated him so he didn't mind. Yugi sat beside the pile of books and started to look through them looking at the interesting symbols that made up the words.

Atemu looked over from in a chair to see Yugi sitting beside a pile of books while Atemu was talking to Ryou who was asking questions seeing as Akefia and Bakura were gone. Atemu watched as Yugi was looking through a book obviously trying to figure out what language it was.

"Yugi." Atemu called out causing Yugi to jump and look over at him. "Come here for a minute." Yugi stood up resting the book gently on the pile. "Bring the book with you."

Yugi slowly picked up the book and walked over and held it out to him. Atemu took the book from him as his tail wrapped around Yugi's waist and pulled him onto his lap. Yugi sat stiff against him while he wrapped both arms around him and set the book on Yugi's lap.

"I saw you trying to read it."

"Y-Yeah couldn't th-though."

"Yugi will you relax I'm not going to hurt you."

Yugi took a shaky breath before letting it out and tried his best to relax. Atemu nodded and ran his hand over the cover and sighed.

"This is naga writing."

"Naga?"

"Yes. It's one of their spell books."

"I knew it was different. Some of the pages had larger writing up the top."

"Yeah the names of the spells."

"Cool."

"Unfortunately this is one of the worst spell books here."

"Why?"

"It's all about destruction and death."

"Oh."

"What about the other books some were ancient Egyptian and others were different again."

"Those were either ancient Greek or ancient Spanish."

"Ok."

"We'll teach you to read them if you like. It will give you something to do in the meantime."

"Yes please." Yugi smiled.

Atemu nodded. "There is also something else I want to talk to you about."

"Ok?"

"About your grandfather." Yugi's breathing stopped for a moment. "I am willing to let you say goodbye but I will have to either erase his memory of the goodbye to safe guard all of us and make it so he doesn't feel the pain of losing you three. Or put a mind block on him so that he can't physical say anything to anyone. It will make it impossible for him to talk or write down what has happened here."

"Why can't you just do either of them to us?"

"It takes a lot of energy and if trying either on multiple people is dangerous for the one doing it and the one they are doing it to. And then it doesn't mean it will take so it's a risk for us to do so."

"But we won't tell anyone."

"Yugi it's a risk for us to let you out. Hunters if they make a connection to this place and they will look up any reports that will go through this area and they will see you were missing for a few days and they will hurt all three of you to get answers."

"But if we can't say anything then there is no need for them to hurt us further."

"They will kill you so you don't say anything about who they were and what they did to you. So you see keeping you is not just about us it's also about you."

Yugi looked down at his lap and nodded upset he would never be able to see his grandfather after the next day or so. Yugi ran his hands over the book gently before looking up at Yami who was walking over. He was giving Atemu a warning look causing Yugi to be worried he did something wrong.

"Is everything alright over here?" Yami asked.

"Yes Yami everything is fine. I was just talking with Yugi."

"Alright than." Yami said giving Atemu a stern look before walking away.

"What was that about?"

"He wanted to make sure I was being nice to you. Obviously I haven't been for the last few days." Atemu said.

"Oh."

"What no comment on that."

"There is really no need. I don't want to rub it in." Atemu nodded in understanding. "Why are the books all over the floor?"

"Couldn't be bothered putting them back up."

"There certainly are a lot of them."

"There are."

"Do you think we could tidy the room up? Put the books in alphabetical order or by language and type?"

"Why?"

"So they are easy to find and locate."

"Alright but they might be better to split into languages."

"Ok." Yugi smiled and tried to get off his lap.

"Once you are better. I don't want you getting worse."

"Ok." Yugi said with a pout. "Can you at least start teaching me the languages and which languages are which so I can at least identify them?"

"Alright. Let's go have a look."

Atemu wrapped his tail around Yugi and lifted him off his lap and set him on the ground before heading over to the pile Yugi had been looking at. Atemu showed Yugi which languages were which and took a naga book that he was happy to teach Yugi with and they sat back down by the fire.
