Chapter Fourteen

 

 

It had already been a week and was now the day of the tournament and everyone had shown up to watch and had drawn out the best duelists from around the world. Mokuba was beginning to announce the entire list of duelists name by name.

 

When Aten's name was read he walked out and everyone stopped talking and stared.

 

Whispers could be heard as Aten stood on the platform. Everyone in the arena even the most veteran of duelist gaped at the man who was standing in front of them.

 

The spiky tri colored hair and familiar black leather attire reminded them all of the once Game King Yami Motou. The resemblance was uncanny so much so that everyone in the arena whispered that it could possibly be Yami's twin brother.

 

Once the shock was over everyone dueled their respected opponents and it seemed to last forever as each and every one of them dueled to be crowned the next King of Games.

 

Everyone had dueled their hardest, but in the end only two duelists remained.

 

“The final bout of the tournament will be between Seto Kaiba and Aten Sebak!” Mokuba announced as both duelists walked into the arena and took their designated spots on the platform.

 

Every one began to whisper again at how Aten had moved through the ranks and used such familiar duel tactics that only one other duelist used and he had been gone for two years.

 

In fact this tournament was named the Yami Motou Memorial Cup and was held every year at this same time as a memorial to the former Game King.

 

Finally the whispers ceased once the duel began as everyone watched with wide eyes at the intensity of the duel. It was one trap, spell and combo after another from both players. This was the longest of all the duels by far and everyone in the crowd was getting into it from the most seasoned duelists to the beginners.

 

Both Seto and Aten dueled their hardest and everyone in the crowd was cheering and screaming both names. Yugi and his friends were cheering for Aten, but were elated that Seto had decided to duel in this tournament.

 

He had retired two years ago and vowed never to duel again since Yami's death. Though something about Aten had ignited that fire in his soul once again and he was dueling with such ferocity like he had long ago with Yami.

 

He was holding nothing back as he summoned his great Blue Eyes White Dragon and then soon after his very powerful Ultimate Blue Eyes was on the field.

 

Aten just looked at the dragon never once flinching as it seemed he already had a plan to take down the great beast. Like Yami, Aten never once backed away from the duel and even when it seemed that he would lose, he always had a plan.

 

Near the end of the duel Aten looked as though he was not going to win when he pulled one of Yami's tricks. He played de-fusion which made the Ultimate Blue eyes convert back in to three separate and then he played change of heart which let him have control of one Blue Eyes. He then sacrificed the dragon to summon Dark Magician Girl, and played monster reborn to bring back Dark Paladin.

 

Then he flipped his face down cards to reveal metalmorph and malevolent nuzzler. He equipped his two magicians with the trap and spell cards and defeated two Blue Eyes knocking Seto's life points down to zero.

 

When the duel was over everyone was shocked that Aten the new comer had beat Seto a decorated veteran of the game. Yugi was speechless at the way Aten had dueled.

 

It was like watching Yami all over again.

 

He noticed that Seto was equally stunned as Aten made his way over toward Seto and extended his hand. Seto looked down at Aten and finally took the hand that was offered.

 

“How? You defeated me. Yami was the only one who ever…” Seto was too dumbfounded to speak.

 

“I had a great teacher.” Aten turned and gave Yugi a smile and thumbs up.

 

Yugi did the same as Jou, Ryou, Anzu and Honda still stood gaping totally shocked at the outcome of the game. Bakura on the other hand was standing beside Ryou with a smile gracing his lips.

 

After the ceremony crowning Aten the new King of Games he and Kaiba walked out of the duel arena together. They stepped outside when Yugi ran up and jumped on Aten's back.

 

“You did it!” Yugi yelled as Aten did his best not to fall over.

 

“Come on let's go celebrate!” Mokuba said as he looked at his brother.

 

He noticed that Seto was watching Aten and Yugi with a smile on his face.

 

It was definitely like having Yami back for he was the only one who could bring out that smile of Seto's.

 

“Yeah let's go!” Aten said as he broke Seto out of his trance.

 

“Yeah we can go back to the game shop!” Yugi smiled as he looked from Aten to Seto.

 

“Sounds good.” Seto smiled.

 

“Yeah!” Jou said as he jumped up and pulled Honda into a head lock.

 

They made their way toward the limo and climbed in.

 

Everyone laughed and joked the whole way to the game shop. Even Bakura was laughing and joking which surprised everyone except for Aten.

 

 

 

At Yugi's everyone was drinking and having a good time. They all seemed to have way too much to drink as Ryou and Yugi stumbled all over the place.

 

Yep the two hikari's defiantly couldn't hold their liquor.

 

“Aten, man, I couldn't believe you beat Yuge and Kaiba!” Jou said as he pulled Aten into a head lock.

 

“Yeah that was so cool!” Anzu yelled.

 

Yugi laughed as he saw Aten struggling to get out of Jou's grasp and his face was turning a lovely shade of red.

 

“Jou….need….air.” Aten croaked out.

 

“Oh…hee, hee…sorry man.” Jou released Aten.

 

Aten stood and rubbed his neck as he looked over at Seto who actually was smiling and shaking his head.

 

Everyone was having a great time and the alcohol seemed to make some peoples common sense to leave their brain.

 

“Hey Kaiba! How does it feel to be defeated by Aten, who just started dueling a week ago?” Jou slurred out.

 

“Hn…can it mutt.” Seto smirked.

 

“I bet he could be the next Yam's.” Jou laughed.

 

Yugi looked up at that remark and shook his head. Yep Jou had way too much to drink.

 

Seto dropped his beer and looked up at Jou sheer malice in his eyes.

 

“He will never take Yami's place.” Seto said through clenched teeth and extremely calm that it sent shivers down Yugi's spine.

 

“Well it looks like he already has.” Anzu laughed out as he pointed to Aten who was sitting close to Seto.

 

`Yep Anzu also had too much to drink as well.' Yugi thought as he looked at Seto.

 

“NO! He hasn't taken Yami's place and never will!” Seto stood and yelled at both Jou and Anzu.

 

Aten stood.

 

“Seto…please I am not trying to take anyone's place.” Aten said quietly.

 

Seto closed his eyes as he did not want to look at Aten at that moment. It was too painful. He had so many qualities of being Yami, but he was not. Seto did not turn around when he said his next few, but very painful words.

 

“Aten…you should probably leave.” Seto whispered.

 

“What?” Aten stepped back a little.

 

“….Just leave.” Seto said with slight hesitation.

 

“But…Seto…I…” Aten stopped mid sentence as Seto turned around.

 

“Aten just go! It's too painful to have you around!” Seto yelled.

 

“I thought…we were friends.” Aten gasped out.

 

“NO! We will never be friends! You're not Yami! You know something I HATE YOU!” Seto yelled even louder and got right in Aten's face.

 

Aten slowly turned away from Seto and saw that everyone was staring at the two with wide, disbelieving eyes. He turned back to face Seto and saw that his sapphire eyes were wide.

 

Seto realized what he had just said and once again made a complete ass out of himself. This time though the damage was done and he knew it as he stared wide eyed at the broken man in front him.

 

Aten tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall from his crimson eyes as he grabbed his leather jacket, helmet and keys. As he made his way toward the door he turned back to look at the people who were standing or sitting quietly in the room.

 

“Good bye it was nice meeting all of you and thank you Yugi for all that you have done for me.” Then he turned and walked out the door.

 

Everyone heard his street bike start up and peel out of the driveway. Bakura looked outside and knew Aten was too drunk and upset to drive plus the roads were still too bad for a street bike. Then the anger hit him as he spun around to look at everyone in the room.

 

“You are fucking idiots!” He turned to both Jou and Anzu.

 

“How could you say something like that? Are you all so damn blind that you couldn't see that it was the Pharaoh in front of you the entire time?!” Bakura yelled as he looked at everyone in the room.

 

“W…what do you mean?” Yugi stuttered out.

 

“Did any of you pay any attention at how he dueled?! He beat Yugi and Kaiba! Who else do you know that could beat both of them without even breaking a sweat?” Bakura yelled.

 

“That doesn't mean anything Kaiba has not dueled in two years he could have gotten rusty.” Jou said as he looked at Kaiba who was glaring at him.

 

“What about Yugi?! He was the King of Games after Yami's death and beat all of the top duelists!” Bakura yelled.

 

No one said anything to that. Bakura had a point and now every one was starting to realize it.

 

“That was Yami! Am I the only one who saw this?!” Bakura yelled getting angrier by the second.

 

“How did you know that was Yami?” Ryou asked.

 

“Well I did know him in two life times, plus shadow magic helped.” Bakura shrugged.

 

“Why did he not tell us?” Anzu asked feeling like such an idiot.

 

“He couldn't that was one of the agreements he made to come back. You had to figure it out on your own.” Bakura said the anger melting away and turning to worry.

 

“Why did you not tell us?” Yugi asked as he looked up at Bakura.

 

“He made me promise not to and that is one promise I have kept until you Ra damned idiots acted like complete stupid asses!” Bakura got pissed again.

 

“With all the hints he threw out and everything he did and said did it ever cross your feeble minds that that could have been Yami?!” Bakura yelled as he looked at Seto and Yugi.

 

“What have we done?” Jou asked as he put his head in his hands.

 

“The roads are too bad for him to be out on and especially on that street bike. That and he had just as much to drink if not more than any of us here and that is not a good thing either.” Ryou said as he looked over at Yugi.

 

Seto and Yugi both looked as though they were going to be sick.

 

“I…told him I hated him.” Seto breathed as he looked down.

 

How could he not have known that Yami was with them the whole time? Was he so dam arrogant and stubborn that he never really noticed it until now?

 

“What are we going to do?” Mokuba asked as he looked at Yugi and his brother.

 

“We are going after him.” Yugi said as he stood.

 

“We can't drive.” Jou said as he looked at Yugi.

 

“I know that.” Yugi said as he glared at Jou still pissed at the comments he and Anzu both made.

 

He turned to Seto and looked up at the broken CEO.

 

“Seto call your driver.” Yugi grabbed his coat.

 

Tbc…

 

 

Notes: Sebak which is the last name I gave Aten means companion of Set in Egyptian.

 

Yep I made Seto to be a jerk again…please don't kill me!!
