Chapter Three

 

They all took in the sight before them and whispered the one name that came to their lips.

 

“Yami”

 

“Is there something wrong?” Aten looked at them and wondered what was going on.

 

Yugi tried to blink back the tears but they came any way.

 

“Excuse me….I'm sorry.” Yugi said as he ran upstairs.

 

Jou and Mokuba followed leaving Seto and Aten alone.

 

Aten looked at Seto with worry and confusion in his eyes.

 

Seto let out a sigh and looked at Aten.

 

“I will call Yugi's grandpa to let him know he is staying here. Then get us something to drink and I will join you in the living room.” He pointed toward the living room as he turned.

 

Aten watched as Seto walked into the kitchen. He then turned and walked into the living room and sat on the couch. He sat his helmet on the floor and put his head in his hands.

 

A few moments later Seto returned with two cups of hot chocolate. He handed one to Aten and sat on the other end of the couch.

 

“Well I know you are wondering why Yugi reacted that way when he saw you.” Seto started.

 

Aten nodded as he looked over toward Seto and sat his cup on one of the coasters on the coffee table.

 

Seto ran a hand through his wet hair and looked Aten in the eyes. They were the same angular shape Yami's once were and had the same crimson color.

 

“Well you look a lot like Yami did. He was Yugi's…brother and a great friend to all of us. He died two years ago today when he was hit by a car while saving my brother, Mokuba's life.” Seto looked down not able to look Aten in the eyes that reminded him so much of his love.

 

“I am sorry for your lose you must have really loved him.” Aten said as he noticed the tears start to build in Seto's eyes as he spoke.

 

Seto shot up and looked at Aten once again. He couldn't get over how much a like him and Yami looked.

 

Seto nodded as he looked Aten in the eyes.

 

“I did and to tell you the truth everyone was shocked seeing that we were once great rivals.”

 

“Oh rivals, in what?” Aten asked as he scooted closer to Seto.

 

“Duel monsters.”

 

“Hmm…the dark game or shadow game if you prefer.” Aten said as he looked at Seto.

 

“What?” Seto asked as he looked at Aten with a confused look.

 

“Well in Egypt, where I am from it is called the dark game or shadow game. There is a legend that says a great and powerful Pharaoh sacrificed his life to save his people from the dark powers.”

 

Seto looked at Aten with disbelief. He knew about the Pharaoh that sealed himself away, but Aten did not know they were talking abut the same person.

 

“You are from Egypt?” Seto asked not voicing that it was Yami who was that Pharaoh for fear that Aten would think he was nuts and that it would be impossible due to the fact that Yami would have to be 3,000 plus years old.

 

“I am.” Aten looked at Seto and for a brief moment found confusion and disbelief in those sapphire eyes.

 

“Well….never mind.” Seto said as he looked out the window and watched as the rain began to come down hard again.

 

 

Aten watched Seto for a long time before he spoke.

 

“So do you think Yugi will be alright?”

 

“He will once he gets over the shock.” Seto looked back at him once again.

 

Aten tried to hide his yawn but Seto noticed it.

 

“I guess it is getting late and we all have had a rough day. I will show you to the guest room.” Seto said as he motioned for Aten to follow him.

 

Once upstairs Aten walked into the guest room and placed his helmet on one of the chairs. He looked around and sat on the bed.

 

“Do you have a change of clothes?” Seto asked as he looked over at Aten.

 

“No I do not.”

 

“I'll be right back then.” Seto said as he disappeared.

 

Aten was standing watching the rain run down the bay window in his room when he heard someone enter.

 

“Here these don't fit me anymore and all you probably need to do is roll up the top of the waist line so they aren't so long.” Seto handed him the clothes and walked to the door.

 

“Thank you Seto.” Aten said as he sat the clothes down.

 

Seto turned and looked at Aten and offered a small smile. “You're welcome.”

 

 

Once the door had closed Aten took off his leather jacket and hung it on the back of the door. He quickly changed out of his wet clothes and into the clothes that Seto had brought him.

 

He rolled the waist of the blue sweat pants up so that they would fit him better and threw on the white t-shirt that was two sizes to big.

 

He flopped down on the bed and closed his eyes as he listened to the rain hit the window. His thoughts started to revolve around a certain blue eyed man and the pain in his eyes. He also saw how Yugi reacted and the pain in his eyes he knew that pain all too well but hid it to the very best of his ability.

 

Before he drifted off the only thing he could think of was if all this was a mistake.

 

Seto tried his best to fall asleep but to no avail. All he could think about was the stranger in the next room. He had actually felt better after he had talked with him.

 

He sat up and looked at clock and groaned when he saw that it was already two in the morning. He got up and made his way to the bathroom and grabbed the bottle of sleeping pills.

 

He took two and instead of going back to his bed he walked out and toward Aten's room. He stood outside the door for what seemed like eternity before he finally opened it so that he could peek inside.

 

Aten was sleeping peacefully as he made his way inside and sat on the couch. Seto placed his head in his hands and started to cry.

 

Aten opened his eyes as he heard the person sobbing. He did not roll over to face Seto since he knew that was who it was.

 

He closed his eyes and let the tears quietly fall so Seto did not know that he was awake.

 

Finally he heard the sobbing stop replaced by soft snoring. Aten closed his eyes and finally drifted of into a dreamless sleep.

 

 

Yugi sat with Jou and Mokuba in one of the other guest rooms.

 

“He…he looks so much like Yami.” Yugi mumbled out his head down and blonde bangs hiding his face.

 

“He does have the same features as Yami and even the taste for black leather.” Jou whispered as he looked up at Mokuba who was sitting on the bed.

 

“Well they say that everyone has a twin in the world.” Mokuba added.

 

“Yeah well he must be 3,000 plus years old.” Yugi mumbled.

 

“Oh yeah never thought of that.” Mokuba said as he looked down at the floor.

 

“I'm sure it is just a coincidence, what if he is one of Yami's descendants? I mean he did have brothers and sisters didn't he?” Jou said as he looked at Yugi.

 

Yugi shook his head. “I didn't think he had any siblings, but he might have.”

 

Mokuba let out a yawn.

 

“Well I think that I will head to bed. I will see you two in the morning.” Mokuba said as he got up and walked to the door.

 

“If you need anything my room is just down the hall from this one.” He walked out the door and closed it.

 

“I don't know what to do and I am sure that I seemed very rude to him.” Yugi said still not looking up.

 

“Kaiba probably explained everything to him, but try not to think about it you can always apologize to him tomorrow.” Jou looked at the clock.

 

“Well actually later today since it is already two thirty.” Jou added as he lay back on the huge bed.

 

“Yeah I hope I can be near him though without breaking down.” Yugi said as he sat up on the bed.

 

“You'll do fine man. You need to give yourself more credit.” Jou smiled at his friend.

 

Yugi looked over at his friend and offered a small smile.

 

Yugi and Jou tried to go to sleep and at least attempt to get a few hours of rest.

 

Yugi lay awake and listened to the soft snoring that was coming from Jou who was sleeping next to him in the huge bed.

 

The only thing that he could think about was Yami who seemed to always visit his dreams and Aten who looked so very much like his dark.

 

Finally though after much thinking he was able to fall into a deep slumber and for once in many years had no dreams at all.
