"Atem? Are you alright?" Seth whispered, I saw he was knelt down next to me
"How can you say that? It seems like you haven`t given a damn until right now, if you had of cared you could have come to the pharaoh and asked for his help in finding us but you didn`t did you?" Jono asked
"Papa?"
"Atem, come on speak to me." Seth whispered again and I shook my head
"Uncle Sef, Papa upset?"
"Yes Yugi, he is, he doesn`t want yo to be taken away he loved you very much, we all do."
"Papa that true?" I nodded and Yugi kissed my cheek before climbing out of my hold and into the desk. I felt myself being pulled from the chair and pulled into a hug
"It`ll be alright Atem." Seth whispered
"STOP! YOU MAKE PAPA UPSET!"
"Who?" the Emperor asked
"The Pharaoh adopted Yugi and he calls him papa." Jono answered
"No, I won`t allow that." The Emperor stated
"STAY AWAY!" Yugi yelled
"Yes, stay away Yugi doesn`t want you near him nor the Pharaoh." Jono said
"You can`t possibly be happy here as you are."
"Actually I am, I am happy as a servant to high priest Seth and I am happy I am with my brother the new Prince of Egypt."
"What?"
"Yugi is being crowned today as the Prince of Egypt cause The Pharaoh adopted him."
"But you are royalty as well and you belong to Japan, both of you do."
"You don`t seem to care about what we want do you?"
"You`re underage-"
"I`m sixteen and fully capable of making decisions for both Yugi and myself!...you see this? This shows I belong to Priest Seth and this shows that china accepts him as the Prince of Egypt, you can`t take us away from here."
"The hell I can`t!"
"If you did that it would be treason!"
"You`re my family! "
"Then why lie? You never told us about being the Emperor! You told us the Emperor was a bad person! And you left with no warning making us think you were dead! You don`t do that to family! At least mother and father said goodbye before they left us."
"Come on Atem you can`t do this." Seth whispered
"I can, my whole world is about to be ripped from my hands by one of our own allies, I-I just can`t deal with that right now, I can`t even face him cause I know I would be able to stop crying."
"No if I have anything to say about it." Seth let go of me and stood up
"Priest, where is that Pharaoh?" the emperor asked with venom laced in his tone
"You have no right to waltz in here and rip our pride and joy away, just because you want to!"
"How dare you! They are my family!"
"Front what I heard, you stopped being family to them the moment you lied."
"How would you know?"
"Have you even thought about what they might want? What they want to do? If they want to leave with you?"
"they are not old-"
"Jono is sixteen he can make his own decisions as for Yugi he is under the care of the Pharaoh so you really have no say in whether they stay here or not."
"They are my grandsons-"
"And you haven`t been to see them since the day you left until today, you don`t hae the right nor the authority to come in here to take them away."
"I have every-"
"Yugi do you want to leave here?"
"No, me no leave papa." Yugi answered. I smiled and dried my eyes and face
"He only-"
"Jono? What about you?" Seth asked
"I`m staying here, I don`t go anywhere without Yugi and Yugi isn`t going with you." Jono answered
"You can`t make that choice for him!" the Emperor yelled
"I looked after him after our parents were killed! And then the Pharaoh along with a lot of other people in this palace are looking after him, I will not let you take him!" Jono yelled
"And neither will anybody else in the palace." I heard Bakura said
"Uncle Ku-a! Uncle Ma-ik!" I caught my breath and finally stood up and Seth looked at me
"Are you alright now Atem?" I nodded and looked to the emperor
"You will not be taking Jono or Yugi from Egypt, they were both born here therefore this is their home land, Jono is happy how he is and doesn`t want to change, and Yugi is my son now, you wll not take him from me."
"And what makes him your son?" I pointed to the necklace around Yugi`s neck
"This shows that he is royalty, not only that-" I pulled a scroll out of my desk"- this scroll stated that Yugi is my adopted son and I am his father, meaning you take him away from me it`s kidnapping."
"You can`t-" Yugi reached up to me and I picked him up
"His is my kingdom and I can do as I please, and you even think of starting War with us just think would you`ll be hurting."
