Jono`s Pov
"That`s great." Atem said
"Yes, now we have something to tell you." Everyone looked at me
"And what is that?" Seth asked
"Atem you know how you sad earlier how you wish you could understand us?"
"Yes?"
"Well there is a way for it to happen."
"How?"
"Just a simple spell performed by two Neko`s."
"What would I need to do?"
"Nothing much, just sit there and hold Yugi, then Yami and I will say the spell."
"Alright, I`ll do it, what about you Seth?"
"I don`t see why not." Seth answered and picked Yugi up from my lap before walking over and sitting next to Atem who placed a hand on Yugi`s head. Yami and I both stood up and stood next to each other
"Ready Yami?"
"Yep, are you?"
"I sure am."
"We call upon the powers of our ancestors to give these to humans the power to understand our language, we use this power it bind it into their mind, body and soul."
Yugi clapped and light flashed around all three of them before quickly dispersing
"Did it work Jono?" Yami asked
"I`m not sure."
"Gain, gain." Yugi called out clapping his hands again
"No, Yugi not again, I think it blinded me." Atem said
"Did he just-"
"Yep, he answered Yugi, the spell worked."
"Did it?" Seth asked
"Well if you`ve just responded to what we said it must of worked."
"And Atem did respond to Yugi when he said again." Yami explained
"Huh, I didn't even noticed." Atem said
"No you won`t it will just be a natural thing now."
"As much as I would love to stay here and chat we have a meeting to get to Atem." Seth explained and place Yugi into Atem`s lap
"You`re right, even though I don`t want to go."
"Tough... Jono, come on let`s go."
"Wait, what about Yugi we can`t just leave him alone." Atem said
"I can take him to the gardens." Yami suggested, suddenly Yugi clung onto Atem and cried out
"No alone! No alone!" Atem stroked his head as he cried
"Looks like we`re all going to the meeting." Seth said, I nodded and retracted my ears and tail, Yami then did the same. Atem stood up with Yugi in his arms and proceeded to walk out of the room with everyone following. We arrived at the throne room a few minutes later and the guards opened the doors. We walked in and took our places. I heard Yugi whimper as the council stared at him this caused him to bury himself further into Atem`s chest trying to hide. I quietly growled but instantly shut up when Seth gave me a glare.
Atem`s Pov
I heard Yugi whimper and bury himself in my chest as I sat down in my throne, I glanced up to see the council staring at him. I glared at them and they looked in different directions
"Shh, Yugi it`s alright they won't hurt you." He looked up at me and smiled before curling up in my lap
"Let`s get this over with." The council began talking about taxes and upcoming balls I needed to attend to and Yugi lowly fell asleep on my lap.
"We will be getting a delivery in-" just then Yugi woke up and began hissing in direction of the doors just before they burst open and Mana ran in and over to Mahad
"Mahad I did it I competed the spell!" she yelled, Yugi was still hissing at her and I quickly covered his mouth with my hand and whispered
"Shh, Yugi." He looked up at me and nodded. I removed my hand and he curled up again in my lap, I looked over at Jono and saw him looking at me with a worried expression. I gave him a reassuring smile and his look soften a little bit
"Mana I told you to stay in my chambers." Mahad scolded
"But your chambers are boring and I wanted t tell you and Atem-"
"That`s Pharaoh to you child!" Shada scolded, Mana glared at him
"-Atem, I finished the spell." She finished
"Mana we`re busy, go back to my chambers."
"But Atem what`s me here right-Atem what that in your lap? Is it a cat creature? Can I have it?" I heard Yugi whimper before he jumped from my lap and ran over to Jono who instantly picked him up and hid slightly behind Seth who took a protective stance
"Mana go back to Mahad`s chambers." She glared at me
"I want the cat creature!"
"You`re not getting him."
"I will get him." Jono then stepped forward
"Over my dead body." He growled and Yugi hissed again
"Fine have it your way." I then heard another growl to my right, I looked and saw that Yami was glaring at her, he caught my glance out of the corner of his eye
"Sorry, Atem but I can`t let her hurt another of our kind, especially Yugi, he`s only young and he`s Jono`s baby brother... Jono and I are closer than brothers, even though Yugi doesn`t know me that well I`ll still treat him like a little brother and I'd risk my life for him." I nodded before turning back to look at Mana
"I see my Pet has cuddled up to you Atem." Mana said smirking, Yami growled again
"I`m no Pet to you!" Yami yelled before he was sent backwards by a blast from Man`s staff
"You should learn to obey your Master."
"Mana stop this!" Mahad yelled and tried to reach for her staff but she only jumped away
"No! They deserve to be slaves nothing more nothing-" she was suddenly knocked down by a blast of gold and amethyst I looked over at Jono to see him stood in front of Seth, his ears and tail on display and both his and Yugi`s right hand was stretched out as if they had just sent the attack. I quickly looked at Seth for confirmation only for him to nod
"Do not speak of us like that or in that way, you have no idea who or what you`re dealing with, you have already hurt one of our kind and you just expect us to let you hurt another? Let you hurt a Kit? No way, you`re lucky you`re not dead already." Jono said in a demonic type voice before his eye rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed into Seth`s arms, while Yugi only just clung onto Seth tunic as he fell from Jono`s arms.
"Jono!" I heard Yami yell, I nodded my head without looking and him and he ran over to Jono, Seth and Yugi. I stood up and walked over to Mahad
"Take her personally back to your chambers, strip her of her magic and erase her memory of any and all Neko knowledge." He nodded before walking over to and unconscious Mana and picking her up before leaving the room shortly followed by Isis
"This meeting will be continued tomorrow, I want everybody out in five seconds or you will lose your tongues." Their eyes widened before they ran out of the room having the doors closed behind them. I sighed a breath of relief before I felt a tug on my tunic, I looked down and picked Yugi up
"Jono no wake up." I smiled sadly at him
"Don`t worry Yugi, he`ll be okay, I`ll look after you until then okay?" he smiled and nodded before hugging me around my neck as I walked over to the others
"Yami do you know what happened?" Seth asked as I approached
"I think his ancestors tapped into his consciousness to project themselves through to send some sort of message, after that I guess
he passed out from the power they used." Yami explained
"Jono be okay?" Yugi asked
"Yes Yugi, Jono will be okay don`t you worry." Yami smiled softly at him
"What do we need to do?"
"Just make sure he get enough rest, and enough food, it`s possible with the power surge he may not be able to move very much for two to three days."
