"So you and another Neko placed this spell on Atem and Seth?" Marik asked
"Yes."
Yami`s Pov
I walked through the corridors near the gardens and came across an unfamiliar white haired male looking a bit lost. I walked over and tapped him on the shoulder causing him to jump and turn around
"He-hello." He greeted
"Hi, are you okay? You look a little lost."
"I am I was looking for Bakura but I don`t know where he is."
"Unfortunately I don't know who that is."
"Could…Could you take me to the Pharaoh then? He might know where he is."
"Sure, what`s your name? I`m Yami."
"I`m Ryou." I nodded and walked past him before stopping and turning back slightly
"Follow me I`ll take you to the Pharaoh." He nodded and turned to follow. I turned back and started walking down the corridors again. We walked in silence to Atem`s office, when we got there I knock on the door.
"Who`s there?" I heard call Atem out
"It`s me Yami."
"Come on in." I opened the door and gestured for Ryou to walk in first
"Ryou? I thought you were sleeping." A voice I didn't recognise said
"I was but I woke up and you weren't there."
"Come sit." Ryou then walked over and sat on one of the sofa`s next to two other people I didn`t recognise
"Yami!" I heard Yugi call out, I looked over and saw Yugi curled up in Atem`s lap but smiling happily at me. I smiled back and closed the door
"Hi Yugi."
"Yami come sit down." Atem said pointing at the chair next to him, I nodded and walked over before sitting down. I looked over at Jono to see him smiling at me it was then I noticed he had his ears and tail out
"Jono why-"
"Speak English Yami and I have my ears ad tail out to show these two I am indeed a Neko."
"Are you a Neko?" The platinum blonde asked, I looked to Atem who nodded
"Um, yeah I am."
"Can we see your ears and tail?" the other white-haired male asked
"Um, sure." I let my ears and tail out
"Y-Yami what happened to your tail?" I heard Ryou ask, I whimpered and curled up into a bal wrapping m tail around my stomach
"Seth take Yugi." I heard Atem say before I was picked up and moved into someone`s lap. I glanced up and saw Atem and I clung to his tunic and cried
"It`s alright Yami."
Seth`s Pov
"Did-did I say something wrong?" Ryou asked, I looked over at him and shook my head
"No, it`s just not a pleasant memory for Yami to deal with."
"So what did happen?" Bakura asked, in a monotone like voice
"Could you show any less sympathy?!" Jono demanded from next to me
"Jono-"
"No! Yami was hurt and he can't` show even a little sympathy?! Is it because you think Neko`s are lesser beings?! That we deserve to be treated with disrespect?!"
"Jono?" I felt Yugi begin to shake in my hold and he clung to my tunic. I saw Bakura get to his feet and Jono did the same
"Jono-"
"No I don`t believe that at all!"
"Then why treat us like that then?!"
"Because you need-" suddenly both were knocked by an Amethyst light
"STOP IT!" a light voice yelled. I looked down at Yugi who had his hands stretched out towards the pair
"Yugi? What the hell?! Why did you-" Amethyst fired at Jono again knocking him into the door and he jumped out of my grasp landing on his feet
"I said stop it!"
"Damn it Yugi stop firing at me!"
"Stop Yelling!"
"Then stop firing at me!" I stood up
"Knock it off the pair of you!" both looked at me
"He -"
"I don`t care Jono, go take a walk and cool off before you attack your two year old brother." Jono`s eyes widened before he retracted his ears and tail and opened the door, walking out and slamming it behind him. I looked down at Yugi who was curled up in a ball shaking, I sighed before picking him up
"Well that was amusing." Bakura stated
"Shut up Bakura."Atem said, I looked over and saw Yami sat back in his seat and Atem stood up, I walked over to him and passed Yugi over
"I`m going to take Yugi and Yami back to my chambers to sleep this all off." Atem said
"And I`m going to go find Jono." He nodded at me and I left the room.
Atem`s Pov
I stroked behind Yugi`s ears and he slowly started to calm down. I looked over at Yami to see he was somewhat calm as well
"Can I just ask what the hell that was all about?" Marik asked
"The question that Ryou asked upset Yami, but don`t worry about it Ryou. Then Bakura showed disinterest in why he was upset and Jono got upset because of it and argued with Bakura and Yugi got scared and blasted the pair of them and yell in Egyptian(English) a little too early than he should have done." Yugi began to shake in my grasp again
"Me, Sowy." Yugi said quietly
"It`s not your fault Yugi, everything is going to be okay."
"Me made Jono mad."
"Don`t worry Yugi, I`m sure he`s not mad at you."
"Jono is." He started to cry again
"Alright, come on lets go back to my chambers and get some sleep eh? The sun is already starting to set." Then Yugi yawned through he`s tears
"Me tired." I chuckled
"Alright, come on Yami." He stood up and followed me towards the door
"But-"
"Everyone get some sleep there`s a meeting tomorrow." I walked out of the door and took Yami`s hand to pull him along next to me instead of behind me. I heard the occasional sob for Yami where as Yugi was fast asleep
"Are you okay Yami?" he sniffed
"Y-yeah, I-I think I-I just need some sleep."
"Well, you can sleep when we get back." I smiled at him and he returned it with a small smile. We arrived back soon after and walked inside to find a bowl of fruit laid out on my desk
"Well looks like we`re eating first." I pulled Yami into the room and closed the door before setting Yugi carefully down on my bed and pulling Yami over to my desk and sitting him down opposite me before taking my seat and pulling a peach out and taking a bite. Yami did the same but he picked up an apple instead
"Do you think Yugi will wake up for food?" Yami asked. I chuckled and looked over at Yugi
"Who knows he cried himself to sleep thinking Jono was mad at him." I looked back at Yami
"I doubt that, Jono was probably still mad at Bakura and just happened to take it out on Yugi." I heard whimpering and I looked back over at Yugi to see him awake. I stood up and walked over to the bed before him up and cradling him to my chest
"What`s wrong Yugi?"
"Jono mad, me tired and hungry." I chuckled and brought him over to the table and sat back down with him on my lap. I pulled a peach from the bowl and gave it to him
"Fank you." He said before munching happily on it, I chuckled
"You`re welcome Yugi."
"Hey Atem." I heard Yami say. I looked up at him and smiled causing him to blush and look away leaving me slightly confused
"Yes Yami?"
"Well- I was- um- never mind."
"Is something wrong Yami?"
"It`s just- I heard Princess Vivian was coming- and she tends to –"
"Think she`s in charge here and gets nearly every slave or servant in trouble?"
"Yeah."
"Yami are you worried she`s going to do that to you?" he looked away "Or she already has… she`s had you punished hasn't she?" he sniffed and nodded
"I-I didn`t even do anything, she asked for some wine and I fetched it for her…I was as quick as I could be and I gave it to her and she called for the guards." I growled
"Did she say why?"
"Cause I looked like you…or as she said `My Love`."
