"I'll set a date tomorrow, everyone will be hectic about the storm to remember anything." He nodded
"It`s fine Seth, as long as you didn`t invite any princesses here it`s all good."
"Whoops, I forgot about them, I'll have to send them home now, they'll be disappointed."
"You seriously didn`t do that did you?" Akefia asked
"No he didn`t he`s messing around." Atem answered
"Here you go Akefia, you`re going to be going with Atem anyway." Jono said while handing Yugi back to Akefia
"We`ll leave you guys to it, and I'm glad you guys got back safe."
"Me too Seth, We`ll probably see you tomorrow."
"Sleep well, and keep the balcony door shut Atem."
"I`m not stupid Seth."
"I remember one time both you and your father left the balcony doors open, lucky I was checking in on you both." Akefia smirked
"I was six." Atem grumbled
"Your father had no excuse." Akefia stated
"That was him not me." Atem pouted
"Anyway, Jono and I will see you all tomorrow."
"Night." I took a hold of Jono`s hand and led him down the corridor to our chambers
Atem`s Pov
"You had to bring that up Akefia?"
"Yup, your cousin wasn't around until just before I was fired, I have plenty of stories to tell him." I sighed as we stopped outside my chambers
"Could you open the door?" he chuckled
"Sure." He opened the door and walked inside, I sighed and followed him inside. I closed the door with my foot before taking Yami into his room and laying him under the covers. I walked back out to see Akefia stood at the closed balcony doors, holding Yugi while tears ran down his face
"Akefia?" He turned to look at me and gave a teary smile
"I remember the first day I met Ryou, it was the day of a sand storm as well... I didn`t trust him, he was wandering on his own, I mean who would...but I wouldn`t let anyone out in a sand storm even if I didn`t trust them... I kept an eye on him throughout the storm, he just sat in one place as far away as he could get from me, he finally curled up and laid down shaking in fear...he was so innocent, I couldn`t stand it... so I got up and sat with him, hugged him, whispered soothing words to him until he finally fell asleep...he fell asleep in my lap Atem, it felt so right, like I didn`t want him to go, I wanted him to stay by my side, and that`s what he did...it was love at first sight... I love him Atem, I miss him." I smiled sadly at him and walked over to hug him. We ended up kneeling on the floor with Yugi still asleep in between us and Akefia crying all him pain and loss on my shoulder. We were sat like that for nearly half an hour before Yugi woke up
"Papa? `Kefia?" we pulled apart and looked down at him
"Hello sleepy head." He giggled and looked at Akefia who was still crying
"`Kefia? Why you cry?"
"I miss Ryou Yugi." Akefia answered
"`Cause he with Uncle `Kura?"
"Something like that Little guy."
