Chapter Nine

 

 

Yugi looked the three people in front of him. They all had questioning eyes and looked to be shocked and confused.

 

“How is Yami back?” Ryou asked.

 

“That's not Yami.” Jou said as he looked at Yugi who nodded his head.

 

“Huh!” Anzu looked confused at the two.

 

“His name is Aten and I know he looks a lot like Yami, but he is not.” Yugi said as he looked at the sleeping form on the couch.

 

Ryou, Anzu and Bakura looked at Yugi and Jou and then towards Aten's sleeping form.

 

“Let's go into the kitchen and I will explain everything to you.” Yugi sighed.

 

They all followed Yugi into the kitchen taking one last glance at the man sleeping on the couch.

 

 

Aten awoke the pain still in his lower back. He got up and went upstairs to change. He hoped and prayed that Yugi didn't see the blood and other things on his shirt and pants.

 

He threw on his black turtle neck to hide the marks on his neck and hurriedly wiped the stains from his pants with a wet washcloth.

 

He did not see Yugi any where so he headed downstairs and into the kitchen.

 

“Look who's finally awake.” Jou smiled as Aten entered.

 

“Hello” Aten said and then noticed the others sitting at the table. He looked at them and the only person he recognized was Bakura, aside from Yugi and Jou of course.

 

“Aten let me introduce you to my friends. This is Ryou, Anzu and Bakura.” Yugi said as he pointed to each of them.

 

“Hello” Aten threw up his hand in a greeting as he still remained standing in the entry way.

 

“He even sounds like Yami.” Anzu said as she looked at the man.

 

“Yeah he does.” Yugi said as he looked at Aten then down at the table.

 

Aten fidgeted a little since every one was staring at him. Bakura noticed how uncomfortable Aten looked and walked up to him putting a hand on his shoulder.

 

“We never did get to finish our talk at the café.”

 

“Wait, you two already have met?” Yugi asked as he stared at the two.

 

Bakura and Aten nodded.

 

“Well why didn't you tell us?” Ryou asked and Yugi nodded his agreement.

 

Both Aten and Bakura shrugged as they answered at the same time.

 

“No body asked.” They laughed a little and headed into the living room leaving four stunned people staring after them.

 

Aten sat on the couch and Bakura followed but sat a little closer than Aten had wanted him to.

 

“Okay Pharaoh spill it.”

 

“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Aten looked at Bakura with a confused look.

 

Bakura looked Aten in the eyes and saw that he was hiding something.

 

“Then I will have to use others means to get you to tell me.” Bakura smirked as he scooted even closer to Aten practically sitting on top of him.

 

“You're crazy!” Aten jumped up and winced at the sudden movement. Nope defiantly shouldn't have done that.

 

“What's wrong Pharaoh?” Bakura noticed the pained look on Aten's face.

 

Aten glared at the man before him, but offered no answers,

 

“You and your Priest go at it a little too rough last night.” Bakura smirked.

 

Aten glared even more and Bakura thought if looks could kill he would be dead by now. Bakura suddenly jumped up and grabbed Aten by the shoulders.

 

“Come on Pharaoh.” Bakura looked into crimson eyes.

 

“For the last time I am no Pharaoh!” Aten said through clenched teeth as he tried to push Bakura away.

 

Bakura just smirked.

 

“Don't take this the wrong way.” Bakura whispered

 

Aten looked at him with wide shocked eyes as he thought of what Bakura could possibly be thinking.

 

Bakura looked Aten in the eyes and placed a hand behind Aten's head to support it. He suddenly leaned down and pressed his lips to Aten's. Images suddenly flooded both of their minds at the contact.

 

The first image was of Ancient Egypt and Pharaoh Atemu sealing his soul away in the millennium puzzle. The next was Yugi solving the puzzle and releasing the spirit inside who everyone called Yami.

 

Then Duelist Kingdom and Battle City flashed through quickly with the most sad and joyful moments. Then Doma and the KC Grand Prix flashed by just as fast. The Pharaohs memories flashed by as Bakura saw himself and the Priests. Then finally the Ceremonial Battle between Yami and Yugi. Yugi fighting his hardest and finally was victorious over Yami. Yami was then granted his own body since he did not want to pass to the after life.

 

Then all went dark and Bakura saw Yami push Mokuba and then getting hit by a car. Then he saw Yami's funeral and how he had become a spirit once again.

 

Bakura drew back and looked at a wide eyed Aten.

 

“Pharaoh so it really is you.” Bakura whispered.

 

Aten seemed to come out of his daze as he sighed and looked into Bakura's chocolate eyes.

 

“Yes Tomb Robber it is I.”

 

“I knew it I could feel your shadow powers in the café!”

 

“Just please do not tell the others.”

 

“Why?” Bakura looked confused at the Pharaoh.

 

“They have to figure it out on there own.”

 

Bakura sat down on the couch once more and Aten settling beside him.

 

“It's good to have you back Pharaoh.” Bakura smiled at the former monarch.

 

“It is good to be back, but Tomb Robber?”

 

“Yes”

 

“Did you have to kiss me?”

 

“One of the many perks of getting into your mind to see if it really was you, Pharaoh.” Bakura smirked.

 

Aten smiled as he rolled his eyes. He started to get up to go see Yugi and the others when Bakura grabbed his wrist. He tried not to, but the pressure caused him to wince.

 

Bakura suddenly let go at seeing the pain and grabbed Aten's upper arm. He pushed up the sleeve and his chocolate eyes went wide when he took notice of the bruises.

 

“Who did this to you?” Bakura looked into Aten's eyes.

 

“It's nothing…don't worry about it.”

 

“Pharaoh tell me who did this to you?!” Bakura said through clenched teeth.

 

“Don't worry about it!” Aten snapped back.

 

“Damn it! Who did this?!” Bakura yelled.

 

Aten looked down unable to look Bakura in the eyes any more.

 

Yugi, Jou, Ryou and Anzu came running in the room after hearing the yelling.

 

“Did he do this to you?!” Bakura emphasized the word he.

 

Still Aten did not look up at him.

 

“I'll kill him!”

 

“Bakura no…he was drunk and we got into a fight!” Aten yelled back after hearing Bakura's last statement.

 

“He still had no right to hurt you!”

 

“Drop it Bakura!”

 

“No!”

 

“I will handle it just back off!” Aten yelled.

 

Bakura stepped back as the Sennen eye came to life on Aten's forehead. Luckily no one else but Bakura saw it and as quickly as it appeared it was gone.

 

“Will someone please tell me what is going on?!” Yugi exclaimed as he ran to Aten's side.

 

Aten shook his head when Bakura lost it again.

 

“This baka was hurt by Kaiba and he won't let any one help!” Bakura yelled as he pointed a finger at Aten.

 

“Is that true?” Yugi quietly asked Aten.

 

Aten turned to Yugi and nodded as his crimson eyes held a deep sadness.

 

“Why?” Yugi asked as he looked at Aten with questioning amethyst eyes.

 

“We got into an argument and alcohol clouded his judgment.” Aten shrugged.

 

“That's no excuse Aten!” Anzu yelled furious at the CEO for doing this.

 

“Is that all he did Aten?” Yugi asked as he remembered the bite marks on Aten's neck and also the way he winced when he got on and off the bike.

 

“Yes young one that is all.” Aten whispered now not looking at Yugi.

 

Yugi did not believe him but didn't want to mention it in front of his friends.

 

“I should call dat bastard and give em a piece of my mind!” Jou yelled as he clenched his fists.

 

“No! Aten has to deal with this!” Anzu yelled at Jou.

 

“Yeah if we get involved we will just make things worse.” Ryou said as he looked from Anzu to Jou.

 

Yugi looked pleadingly at his friends and then looked at Bakura who was staring at Aten with narrowed eyes. Aten stood quiet listening to them all argue and he could see everyone's point. He knew they were just trying to help but they were starting to get on his last nerve.

 

Finally he snapped.

 

“WILL ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!!” Aten yelled causing the whole room to get quiet and wide eyes to stare at him. Even Bakura was shocked by the outburst.

 

Aten turned to Yugi.

 

“I will be upstairs if you need me aibou.” With that he retreated upstairs.

 

Everyone watched as Aten walked up the stairs in into one of the rooms.

 

“D…did you just hear that?” Yugi asked everyone quietly.

 

“What Aten yell at all of us?” Jou asked dumbfounded.

 

“No you baka!” Bakura slapped Jou in the back of his head.

 

“H-he called me a-aibou only Yami ever c-called me that.” Yugi whispered as he let the tears fall.

 

“Oh Yugi.” Anzu looked at him with sad ocean blue eyes.

 

“P-please just go…all of you.” Yugi whispered as he shut his eyes tightly.

 

“Yuge.” Jou look pleadingly at his friend.

 

Ryou put a hand on Jou's shoulder and shook his head.

 

“Come on let's go, they need to work this out on their own.” Ryou said as he turned to walk away.

 

Everyone took one last glance back at Yugi as they walked out and into the snow storm that was just beginning.

 

Tbc…
