Just then Yugi started crying again
"Oh, would you shut up, Atem isn`t even your father, he`d never be a father to a freak like you, he`s just taking pity on you." We heard Lady Tea say
"Tell him it isn`t true Akefia." Atem said, I nodded
"Yugi don`t listen to her, what she says isn`t true, your papa loves you no matter what and you aren`t a freak, trust me."
"Okay `Kefia, me trust."
"What are we going to do?" Yami asked
"Yami go get Honda and Otogi along with everyone else and bring them back here Akefia can hold her until you arrive." He nodded and ran off
"Ready?" he nodded, we burst through the door to see Yugi cowering and Lady Tea stood over him
"Get away from him!"
"`Kefia! Papa!"
"Try come over here Yugi, be careful." He nodded and started to sneak over as Lady Tea turned to face us
"Atem!-"
"Do not call me by my given name!"
"Well I should if I'm going to be your bride."
"I told you it`s not going to happen, not now, not ever."
"You`ll change your mind as soon as the little pest is out of the way." Atem growl and I grabbed a hold of him before he lunged
"I know you`re upset, try stay calm for Yugi." I nodded over to the said Neko to see him frozen in his place in fright; Atem let out a breath and nodded
"Keep coming Yugi."
"Yugi isn`t going anywhere apart from with me back to his family."
"From what I heard his family is dead." Atem and I growled as Yugi whimpered
"No, Yugi is my Son, which make my family his family." I heard footsteps approach
"Atem, they`re coming." He nodded
"You don`t care about him, you`re only doing this out of pity, as soon as he is gone we can be happy."
"I highly doubt that." Seth said from behind us, Yugi ran over to me as soon as Lady Tea was distracted. I knelt down and picked him up, before he buried his face in my chest and cried
"I want her arrested." Atem stated and walked over to Yugi and I before stroking his hair, trying to calm him down as Honda and Otogi arrested Lady Tea
"It`s alright Yugi, you`re safe now."
"Papa…" Yugi turned and stretched his arms out to Atem who took him from me and hugged him
"Is he hurt?" Jono asked
"I don`t think so, I think he is just scared." Jono nodded and lent against Seth, and Ryou did the same with Bakura. I sighed and left the room before walking back to the room I`ve been staying in.
Atem`s Pov
I held Yugi close to my chest as he cried and I stroked his hair to calm him down.
"He isn`t hurt is he?" Jono asked
"No I don`t think so, I think he is just scared." Akefia answered, I heard him sigh after a few seconds before he left the room. I frowned
"What`s wrong with Akefia?" Seth asked
"I don`t know."
"Papa where `Kefia?"
"I don`t know Yugi."
"Can we see?"
"You want to go find him?" he nodded
"Pwease." I nodded
"Alright, we`ll see you guys later."
"How soon-"Seth started
"Tomorrow let her spend the night down there." He nodded. Yugi and I left the room and walked to where I thought he might be. His room. Once we arrived I knocked on the door and received a faint `come in`. We stepped inside and closed the door behind us; we saw that he was stood next to the balcony looking out.
"Akefia is something wrong?" he turned his head to look at us
"No, there`s nothing wrong."
"Lie."
"Even I can tell you`re lying Akefia, I can see the tear marks on your face, now tell us what`s wrong." He sighed
"I feel like I`m losing Ryou."
"What do you mean?" he gestured me to sit down in one of the chairs; I sat down and set a now sleepy Yugi in my lap. Akefia took the other chair across from me.
"I think Ryou is avoiding me."
"How?"
"He`s sleeping less, even when he does he isn`t speaking to me, I think he`s falling for Bakura." I nodded
"They have been spending more time with one another."
"Earlier, I saw him leaning against Bakura`s chest." I sighed
"Maybe he is falling for him Akefia, I don`t know but if it does turn out to be that way, maybe it`s best." He nodded and looked towards Yugi before chuckling
"He must have been really tired, he`s zonked." I chucked as Yugi snuggled further into my stomach
"I guess so, you hungry? I doubt you`ve eaten this morning." He shook his head
"No I was too worried about Yugi."
"Understandable, let`s go get something to eat."
"`each…"
"You now I never expected him to dream about peaches." Akefia stated. We both chuckled
"You`d be surprised."
