Baby Love

 

Chapter 1

 

When they thought about it afterwards, wondering just when it had all started, they would have to say it started before the radio and cinema adverts, and even before the New Year's visit to the temple. It had all started years earlier, in Egypt, with six little words.

 

The ceremonial duel was over. Pharaoh Atemu had lost to Yugi, and was walking slowly towards the opened doors to the afterlife. This was just too much for Yugi to bear.

 

“Please don't go. I love you!”

 

Atemu stopped, not daring to believe what he had just heard. He turned round and looked at Yugi who had dropped to his knees with tears streaming down his face.

 

“Partner” he whispered. “Yugi, do you truly mean that?”  Yugi nodded.

“Please stay with me,” he pleaded.  Atemu knelt down by Yugi and gathered him in his arms. 

“I will stay,” he said. “I will stay here with you my partner.”

 

With those words, the doors to the afterlife closed.

 

As soon as the doors had closed, the whole room started to shake as though in an earthquake.  As the roof started falling in everyone made a unanimous decision to leave the tomb as soon as possible. Yugi attempted to save the puzzle, but as he started towards it, the ancient tablet disintegrated and fell through a hole in the floor, taking the millennium items along with it. Their magic lost forever. The group ran up the stairs of the tomb, out into the hot Egyptian sunshine, and stood trying to recover from their narrow escape.

 

“Hey, you're still here!” Jounouchi exclaimed, pointing at where Atemu was stood by Yugi. Everyone gathered round the extra member of their group, wondering how he still had a body and, once they thought of it, wondering how on Earth they were going to get him through passport control when they returned to Japan.

“He's still quite short, maybe we can hide him in a suitcase,” suggested Honda laughing. His suggestion was immediately met with whack to the head from Anzu.

 

“Pharaoh, perhaps we can help to some small extent,” said Ishizu, “My brothers and I still have the contacts that helped us get legal existence in Egypt. With a little persuasion, we could get you some travel documents. It would only be a temporary solution, but at least you would be able to travel home to Japan.”

 

“Seto could help you,” said Mokuba suddenly, “with all his contacts, I'm sure that he can get all the stuff that you need”. 

“Of course,” said Jounouchi. “I bet that Kaiba could get a full set of fake documents for old Atemu here.” He draped his arm round Kaiba's shoulders. “How about it pal? Fancy doing a favour for all your friends?”

Kaiba made a noise of disapproval as he removed himself from the unwelcome contact.

“I don't really see why I should bother helping you. What is there for me to gain?”

“Big Brother they're our friends” said Mokuba, plaintively.

“Kaiba,” came the firm voice of Atemu, "if it is true that you can help us, perhaps we can come to some arrangement.”

 

After all the bargains had been struck, Kaiba had agreed to furnish Atemu with full and complete legal existence as a Japanese citizen (and the documents prove it), in exchange, he gained possession of all three god cards, the promise of unlimited duels against Atemu (who he still wanted to beat), and, until he won his title back, unlimited official title matches against Yugi - who was after all the OFFICIALLY recognised King of Games.

 

It took 3 days staying in Cairo to acquire a passport and visa for Atemu, during which Sugoroku and Yugi contacted Yugi's mother to explain the situation and let her know about the newest member of the family.

 

Eventually, the group was able to travel back to Japan. Ishizu, Malik, and Rishid saw them off at Cairo's main airport as everyone passed without incident through security to the departure gate.

 

They finally arrived back in Domino, and went their separate ways home. Atemu was feeling very anxious about meeting Yugi's mother for the first time. After all, until a few days earlier, she hadn't even known of his existence, and now she had suddenly been told the full story of all of his and Yugi's adventures over the past couple of years. It was an awful lot to take in all at once.

 

He grimaced, remembering how angry Nara Mutou had been upon being told of the dangers her son had faced on account of the young pharaoh. He was not looking forward to facing her wrath in person.

 

Perhaps because of his expectations, upon meeting Yugi's mother, Atemu was surprised to be greeted warmly by the woman and welcomed into the family. He was less surprised however, when less than a minute later, he was again being harangued about all the life-threatening situations he had caused Yugi to be placed in over the years, the fact that he had dashed all hopes of the family name being carried on by turning her perfectly normal son gay (Yugi had tried protesting at that point), and most of all, the fact that up until three days ago she hadn't even been told about any of Yugi's dealings with him. Through all of this Atemu just stood with his head bowed, saying nothing - although he wasn't sure that there was much he could say in response to a lot of her arguments. Once her tirade had finished however, he was again startled when Nara reached forward and gathered him into a hug.

 

“Thank you for taking care of Yugi.” she said as she released him. “I can tell that you obviously mean a lot to him, so I'll overlook your actions in the past. But, if you ever put my son in that kind of danger again, you will find yourself wishing you were back facing the worst of your enemies.” At some point in the conversation, Nara had rolled up a magazine, and as she brandished it angrily in his face, Atemu found himself believing every word of her threat.

 

“Anyway,” everyone blinked in surprise as her mood shifted again, and followed as she headed for the stairs, “since you're going to be living here now, I bought you a few of the things you're going to need. They're in Yugi's room, which is where you will also be sleeping. And I mean sleeping! The two of you will not engage in any goings on in this house. Do you both understand?” As they were led into Yugi's room, Yugi and Atemu replied that they did indeed understand.

 

“The room isn't large enough to comfortably fit a second bed, so I bought a futon. I'll let the two of you argue it out as to who's going to end up sleeping on it.”

 

“I didn't know what size you would be for clothes, so I thought we really should wait to buy those. I did buy a couple of changes for you though. I tried to get things that would fit you no matter what size you were. Hairbrush, toiletries, towels, school supplies.” Mrs. Mutou indicated each of the purchases as she named them. “You are planning to go to school aren't you?” she asked suddenly.

“As soon as I get the proper identification documents.” Atemu assured her.

“Good. Once you know where you're going, we'll get your uniforms. Now as I was saying...”

 

“Finally she left.” Yugi sighed as he leaned back on the bed. He and Atemu had finally been left alone. “I swear my mother's not normally like that. She usually acts really normal.”

“I know.” smiled Atemu. “Remember, I know all about her from when I was in your mind.”

“Oh yeah. Still, some of the things that she said. I can't believe that she actually accused you of making me gay.” Yugi looked over to where his partner was still stood and chuckled evilly. “So, other me, want to engage in some goings on?”

 

The next day, after the longest clothes-shopping trip of their lives, Yugi and Atemu arrived at Kaiba corp. headquarters and made an appointment to see Seto Kaiba. A short half hour wait later, and they were led into Kaiba's office.

 

Kaiba was, as usual, all business. Yugi and Atemu had barely had a chance to greet him when he handed them a sheaf of forms and told Atemu to fill them in.

“I thought it would be easiest for you if I base your new identity, as much as possible, on your actual identity,” explained Kaiba. “Once you've answered all the questions, I should have enough information to create a new past for you. Then it will simply be a matter of contacting a few people and inserting you into the system. After that, I can obtain the necessary documentation for you. Now leave. Come back when you've finished the questionnaire.” Kaiba waved them out of his office.

 

After they handed back the completed questionnaire, Kaiba briefly looked through it before slamming it down on his desk and glaring at the ex-pharaoh.

“Is this some kind of joke to you?” he growled. “Some of these answers are totally useless.”

“I answered every question honestly, and as well as I could,” said Atemu as he glared right back.

“Father's name - Akunumkanon?” Read Kaiba. “Mother's name - Djedmaatesankh?”

“That's correct.” affirmed Atemu “Although my mother was often called Djed for short.”

“Well we can maybe work with those,” grumbled Kaiba.

“But what do you expect me to do with this ridiculousness? Date of birth - The third day of Thoth in the fourteenth year of the reign of King Akunumkanon. Just what is this `Thoth' nonsense supposed to be?”

“Thoth is not nonsense,” protested Atemu. “It was the first month of the year. It began the season of Akhet when the Nile started to flood.”

“Maybe you could find out when Thoth would have been on our calendars Kaiba,” suggested Yugi brightly.

“It wouldn't be necessary if Egypt had just been using a sensible calendar like everyone else.” said Kaiba.

“Well I'm sorry, but it was the only calendar we had,” was the sarcastic reply.

 

“And this answer. Blood type - Unknown. How can you not know your blood type?”

“Because it hasn't ever been checked. After all we didn't have anything like that in Egypt.” Atemu smirked. “It was three thousand years ago Kaiba. Blood was just blood. It was red, and if too much of it came out of you, you died. It was all quite simple.”

“Then I guess we will just have to check your blood type then.” Kaiba was also beginning to smirk as he phoned for one of his company nurses to come to his office. “I do hope you're not afraid of needles at all.”

Authors note.

 

Many thanks to Seers_atemu for beta reading this.

 

I seem to be quite slow at writing, and once University starts up again in September, I will be very busy with my studies. Because of this, I am planning to update this fic once a month.

If, and only if, it goes longer without updates, feel free to start badgering me about it.

 

Flames WILL be ignored. However, comments, advice, and constructive criticism are all welcomed.
