"Papa!"

"Come on Atem, snap out of it!" then I was hit in the face, making me snap my eyes open and look at the pair

"What was that for?"

"To snap you out of it."

"Papa, me stay." I smiled at Yugi

"I know you will, and I know how much you want to, but-"

"Oh no you don`t, they aren`t going anywhere, we are getting Yami back and you are going to stand up for yourself, or I will hit you until you do." Akefia stated, I chuckled

"You could get killed for that you know." He smiled

"I know, but you love me anyway." I laughed

"Of course I do, now we need a plan, wait a second how the he- on earth did they get into the palace to get Yami?"

"I don`t know, but we will find out and we will get Yami back." Then the door opened, letting Seth, Bakura and Marik in with their servants, making Akefia stand behind me

"Idiot."

"What`s going on?" Seth asked

"Yeah Honda said it was important." Bakura stated

"It is...the Japanese emperor has Yami, he wants his grandchildren back."

"No! Never!" Jono yelled

"Jono?" Yugi asked

"I`m sorry for yelling Yugi, but we aren`t going with grandpa, you belong to the pharaoh, you are his son now, grandpa can`t do anything about it now, especially if he doesn`t want to start a war with Egypt and China."

"But he can still take you Jono, he might use that against us and Yugi, Yugi won`t go anywhere without Jono, if he knows he`s not coming back." Akefia explained

"Honda should be getting the guard assembled right now, but we need to speak to the Emperor."

"We`ll all come with you." Seth said. Marik and Bakura nodded in agreement along with Malik, Ryou and Jono. I nodded and got up from my seat

"Then let`s go, I can`t stand the thought of Yami being in that mans grasp, no offence Jono."

"No taken pharaoh." I chuckled

"Let`s go." I walked out of the room with everyone following me. We walked to the palace doors and were greeted by Honda and Otogi.

"Greeting them head on?" Otogi asked, I nodded and the doors opened. I saw the Emperor with very few guard, two of which were holding a limp Yami.

"Yami!" Yugi yelled. The Emperor looked up and walked towards us with his guards. We walked down and met him in the middle

"You know what I want, and you will get him in return." The Emperor stated, while pointing to Yami.

"No! Yami back! You go!" Yugi yelled, I looked at him to see tear streaming down his face, only for him to be taken by Jono to be comforted

"You`re hurting him, he doesn`t want you here and he doesn`t and won't leave."

"That`s only because you are brainwashing him, making him want to stay here."

"Really? Where the hell were you when he was taken to be sold?! I was the one that took him in, I took him to his brother, so they could be together again, he is my son, you even try to take him away they you will be committing treason to Egypt and China."

"China? Since when?"

"Since they accepted Yugi as the pharaohs son and the prince of Egypt." Jono stated while holding up Yugi`s wrist that held the bracelet that the Chinese Emperor had given him

"No, you both belong with me in Japan."

"Then you should never have left, you aren`t welcome here, and you never will be... you are trying to take away the Prince of Egypt, you`ve attacked a Neko, your own kind! And our family!"

"Family?"

"Yami wiv papa, Yami 'ike Mummy." Yugi explained through his sniffles

"Yami is my brother, in everything but blood, he is my brother in kind, and the pharaoh protects us, there is nothing in Japan to stop people from hurting me and Yugi."

"You`d be princes, instead of servants!" the Emperor yelled

"We gave him that option before, but he didn`t want it." Seth stated while looking down at Jono with a fond smile

"I don`t want all that, I am happy where I am, and I always will be, I feel safe and protected, because I know I am safe, I am protected and so is Yugi, that`s what helps me sleep at night, know Yugi is perfectly safe with the pharaoh, and besides, why would I want to leave my mate?" Jono explained

"M-mate?" The Emperor asked

"Your Mate?" Seth asked

"You are my Mate Seth and if I leave you, I will die, and I could do that to you or to Yugi, Yugi loves being here, he loves having his uncles and his papa, he loved playing in the gardens with his uncles and papa, he can`t do that in Japan, I won't be going and neither will he, now give us Yami back and leave, you won't get us to come to Japan, you need to get your head straight before coming back here, and if that doesn`t happen, we never want to see you again." Jono stated, the Emperor looked shocked, but signalled his guards to bring Yami over to us, I took him into my arms and kissed his forehead

"Escort them to the docks, make sure they leave Honda." Seth said. I lifted Yami into my arms and took him back inside, quickly followed by everyone else

"He`ll be fine, pharaoh he`ll just need rest." Jono said

"I think I had plenty of rest in the hands or the Japanese." Yami stated, while opening his eyes

"Yami!" Yugi yelled and jumped onto my shoulder

"Hi Yugi, and Jono I`m a brother to you? In everything but blood? Why didn`t I know this?" Jono blushed and looked away, causing us to laugh
