--------------------------------------------------

in the last chapter of To Love Loveless: remix…

“Alright I place 2 cards face down and play kuribou in defense mode and switch my Celtic guardian into defense mode as well. And with that, I end my turn.”

“Ha! I se your move Atemu and your little kuribou/multiply combo isn't going to work! I attack your Celtic guardian and in turn win the duel!” Yamir shrieks.

“You fall for the oldest trick in the book, Yamira. I play the trap card, mirror force, and your Pharaoh obliterates himself with his own attack. Since his attack is 4000 and you only have 3100, you lose!”

“NOOO!!!”

---------------

“Yeeeeaaa!!!” Shojiki and Tea cheer jumping up and down, hugging each other. A smile almost comes to Seto's face. Atemu walks over to Yamira and kneels down in front of her.

“Hey, that was a good duel. I'm sorry, I'm not your older brother but I'm sure you'll find him some day,” he reassures her, smiling slightly.

“No…this was not supposed to happen…”she murmurs quietly.

“Huh?”

“You are supposed to LOVE ME!!!” a powerful blast of aura knocks Atemu back. Yamira rises to her feet, her silver millennium puzzle flashing.

“If you won't love me back damn you, I will make you unable to love anyone else!!!” she stretches out her hand and a dark gas cloud hisses out and engulfs Atemu. With a maniacal laugh, Yamira makes her escape.

----------------------

“that thing is the Tempus Alternia. It is like the Shadow realm but in a more active form. You stay in there for an hour or two and you are all ready for the insane asylum. It makes you re-live your worst memories in dramatic HD but it also makes new ones that are more terrifying.” Malikexplained, gesturing as he went.

“so how are we supposed to get him out of there before it's too late?” Tea asked worriedly.

“either a, Yamira comes back and makes it disappear which is highly unlikely, or b, once an hour is up, it will disappear on it's own.”

“but that will be too late!” Seto and Tea yelled at him in unison. Malik staggered a bit. Damn, those two were LOUD.

“I'll go get him.”

Before any of them could blink, a silver blur darted pass them and into the dome. Shojiki ginned.

“took you long enough, Savira.”

----------------

“Savira…please…d-don't leave me…”

Savira stared at him in shock. How did he remember that? She was sure that she had permanently erased it from his memory, never to be recalled again. But from the way he looked, it was there and causing him as much misery as it did back then.

Shaking her head, she raised her sword once more. The only way to save him is to cut him free. But she couldn't help but see his face, the face he had when she rejectedhim. With a cry, she brought the sword down, and with a clean swipe, she cut the binds that held him and caught him before he hit the ground.

“Atemu? C'mon, wake up,” she said quietly, gently slapping him on the face. His eyes fluttered before opening, their Violet depths unfocused. Upon seeing her face, he smiled softly, making her heart pound in her chest.

“hey, you came back…”

Savira bit he bottom lip to keep the tears back before replying:

“yea…just like I promised…”

------------------------

“why are you so concerned Kaiba? You're almost acting like you like him or something.” Malik droned in a bored tone.

Seto stopped pacing momentarily. Without even knowing it, Shojiki and Malik raised an eyebrow at the same time.

“you should know that…that if something were to happen to him, I would be able to reclaim my title.” He said without turning, then after a beat, continuing to pace.

“oh,” Malik replied, his curiosity satisfied while Shojiki let out a small snort that could have been interpreted as one of annoyance of his childish grudge but Seto knew that it was one of disbelief.

`oh Seto, how long are you gunna keep up this charade? You're only hurting yourself…and me…' she thought, a sad sigh slipping from her lips.

----------------------------------

As Atemu and Tea laughed, Seto attempted to defend himself and his flirting techniques. Savira watched this from her seat, a small smile on her lips.

Once they arrived at the shop and Atemu got out of the limo, ducking back in to give Tea a quick smooch on the lips, Seto's heart wasn't the only one breaking.

-------------------------------

chapter 5: normal as normal gets.

The tournament went on without incident, Atemu once again defeating Kaiba for the title. For some reason, Seto didn't grumble as much as he would before and Atemu didn't playfully tease him about his victory as usual.

Both were quiet in the midst of noise and their significant others noticed and seperately decided to get to the bottom of it.

But of course, Tea had the help of a certain hikari who worried about his darker half.

------------------------------------------------

“yo Savira.” Shojiki knocked on her sister's door. There was no reply. With a sigh, she took out her duplicate key and unlocked the door.

After taking off her shoes at the door, she looked around then rolled her eyes. Sake bottles littered the floor and the TV blared, showing some nosense show that Shojiki KNEW Savira never watched. Savira herself was curled up on the couch with a giant bottle of the beverage.

“damn, was it that bad?”

“life is a sexually transmitted disease,” the shorter girl groaned, running her finger over the rim of the bottle softly.

“hell, yea but did you honsetly think he'd remember you like that? Seto told me that it too him 4 years to get his name so I highly doubt that he'd recall everything. If he did, you two would proably be honeymooning in Taihiti right now,” Shojiki replied, carefully stepping over the litter and shifting bottles to the floor before sitting on the couch and grabbing one for herself.

“not Taihiti…maybe Aruba…or Barbados…” Savira said, thoughtfully taking a sip.

“Hawaii is good too.”

“Jiki, how can you stand it?!” Savira asked suddenly, putting down her bottle to stare at her younger sibling.

“stand what?”

“being around him and knowing that he'll never love you back!”

Shojiki stopped mid-sip and put the bottle down. Her head bowed and she sighed.

“I love Seto.”

“I know that.”

“and because I love him, his happiness means more to me than my own. Yes, I could force him to marry me and I'd have his children and do everything a good wife should but…”

“but what?”

“he won't love me. His heart belongs to someone else and I know I can't change that because when you love someone, sometimes you have to give them what they want even if it means hurting yourself.” She finished, downing her drink.

Savira just watched her, her Sake forgotten

---------------------------------------

“For the last time aibou, I have nothing to do with Savira.” Atemu groaned. Ever since the end of the tournament, Yugi has been pestering him about his conection to Savira. He had a strong suspicion that Tea had told him what had happened during his duel with Yamira.

`to be honest, I don't know what kind of connection I have with her but I feel I do. I just wish he'd leave me alone so I can figure it out.' He thought to himself as Yugi went upstairs.

“hi Atemu,” Tea chirped as she came in through the back. The shop was closed and locked so the back was open so non-cutomers could come in.

“hello, Tea,” Atemu smiled, standing up to hug her and kissing her on the cheek. Before she could move away, he tightened his arms around her waist.

“huh?”

“by the way, did you happened to tell Yugi what happened during that duel with Yamira?” he whispered in her ear.

“I had to. You, Savira, and Kaiba were acting weird.” She explained, pulling away to sit on the couch. Irritably, Atemu sat on the couch next to her.

“I was not acting weird. I mearly had a lot on my mind. For the love of horus, I just found out I had an evil twin sister that is trying to get in my pants!” he sighed, exasperated.

“well, that is more than enough to think about but that doen't explain the way Kaiba was looking at you.” Tea said.

“looking at me like how?”

“like…like…I know this sounds like something out of a shojo manga, but like someone who is weighed down with unrequited love.” Upon hearing Atemu's snort, Tea frowned. “Atemu!”

“what? It's ridiculous! I've been dueling Kaiba for going on 5 years now and not once have I notice this `unrequited love' look on his face. Someone has been reading too many bad fanfictions.” Atemu chuckled. Tea looked less than convinced.

“maybe…”

-----------------------------------------------

Seto closed his laptop with a sigh. The otaku report for his culture class was finished and now he can finally go to sleep. Well, he would if he could. For some reason that the facts that Atemu had two wives, though one was forced, in his past life tormented him. Did it mean he had no chance at all?

`not that it matters. I've presented myself as such a jerk, he'll never like me anyway…' Seto thought as he went to the bathroom to shower for bed.

While in the shower, he heard the bathrom door open. Knowing the only one with enough balls to disturb him in the shower was Shojiki, Seto sighed.

“yes, Shojiki?”

The redhead didn't respond, just put the toilet seat and cover down and sat down on it, waiting for him to finish his shower. Seto sighed. That meant she was going to lecture him about something weather he liked it or not. Sometimes, his grilfriend can act like a real mother…

Turning off the shower, he got out and strode, nude, to the sink to dry off and brush his teeth. He had no problems being naked around his childhood friend nor did she have a problem being nude around him. It wasn't sexual, just one of the benefits of being so close. Besides, since they were supposed to be “boyfriend/girlfriend” did it even matter?

“Seto…can I…ask you something?” she said as he began to brush his teeth.

“yesch” he replied around his toothbrush.

“you love Atemu, don't you?” she asked, not even blinking when Seto choaked on his toothpaste, spat it out and, coughing, whiped his mouth.

“where the hell did this question come from?!” he sputtered, bewildered as to not only why she suddenly asked this but how was it she found out his secret.

“don't worry Seto, I won't tell anyone,” she whispered, drawing her knees up to her chest. Seto blinked. Shojiki was usually a confident person so what had brought this on?

“Shojiki…”

“just tell me, why did you agree to be my boyfriend?”

Seto thought about it. Why did he agree to it? As the answer came to his mind, fear for her response took over but before he could he could stop himself he said:

“fear. I was afraid people would find out was gay.”

No one, other than Shojiki, knew this secret he kept in his heart, not even Mokuba. he had seen many high ranking public figures lose respect and reputation for coming out in his country and he sure as hell didn't want that to happen to him. So when Shojiki had presnted this way to hide himself…

“I knew it. I knew you were gay Seto when I reunited with you here in Domino but…I was hoping…never mind what I hope,” she whispered, her head drooping down.

Seto stood and walked over to the older girl, wrapping his arms around her shoulder's, holding her as she cried. His nose picked up the faint smell of sake.

`so that's what brought this on…' he thought sadly as he thought of a way to calm her down.

“hey, jiki” he said softly, using her childhood nickname to catch her attention.

“what?” she sniffed.

“do you remember what was the first thing you said to me when we first met?”

“ `move, you little shit, that's my spot.' ? ”

“after the teacher reprimanded you.”

“ `I guess I can share.'?”

“yea. I know it might be mean for me to ask this but, can you?”

she looked up at him with a question in her eyes.

“what I mean is can you share my heart with Atemu? I love you Shojiki, maybe not as much as I love him but believe me, you're definatly there in my heart.” Seto said, mentally wincing at how mushy his words sounded.

“Seto?”

“yeah?”

“stick to dueling that sounded so hallmark card-y, I might throw up.”

----------------------------------------------

the weekend rolled into Monday. Everybody chatted so much about the tournament and Atemu's win that they almost didn't notice the teacher come in.

“settle down everyone, settle down.” She said over the din. Once everyone was seated, she cleared her throat and wrote a name on the board.

“class today, we have a new student. She is another transfer from egypt and I want to make her feel at home. Come in dear.”

And in walks Yamira, clad in the female school uniform though it looked a tad too small, hugging her curves in a way that made almost all of the boys drool and the girls glare in envy.

“hello, my name is Yamira Atemu and I am pleased to meet you all,” she said with a beautific smile.

While everyone responded with a resounding hello, Atemu, Shojiki, and Tea's jaw dropped in terror.

----------------------------------------------------

“so basically, she's your twin with a total brother complex and she is out to rape you? man, that's fucked up.” Tristen said.

“my thoughts exactly, Tristen.” Atemu sighed.

“well, at least you won't have to worry about her attacking you in public. Like you, she's very subtle.” Shojiki said, taking a bite out of Seto's watercress sandwich.

The Yugi-tachi, including Savira, Shojiki and Seto, had all congregated on the roof to eat lunch and talk about their new classroom addition. After explaining to everyone else about Yamira, they had settled into an awkward silence, broken only be the sound of food wrappings and the clicks of Seto typing on his laptop.

“Malik's her boyfriend; can't she do something about her?” Yugi asked.

“apparenly not. She was able to slip away from him before and he can't watch her all the time since he doesn't attend this school.” Shojiki explained.

“oh yeah, Shojiki, why did Yamira call you a `Princess'?” Tea asked. All eyes turned to the tall african girl who sighed.

“Atemu-chan isn't the only african royalty here. Back in my home country of Angola, I was the step-daughter of King Damien, at least that was his name in this language.”

“wait a minute, you were that princess Shojiki? But you're older than my dad!” Atemu gaped.

“way older than that Atemu. Can you say, I have a good 5,000 years on you.”

“WHOA!”

“jeez, Kaiba' girlfriend is a geezer!”

POW!

“watch it mutt, never talk about a lady's age,” Seto smirked as Shojiki proceeded to give Joey the beatdown of a lifetime.

“speaking of which, how old are you Savira?” Atemu asked quietly.

Savira looked at him with such cold eyes, Atemu felt the faint pricklings of fear along his spine.

“obviously, older than her.”

Atemu left it at that.

“hey, Kaiba, since you obviously hate magic, how is it that you have such a blatantly magical girlfriend?” Tea asked. Seto took a bite out of his onigiri before answering.

“I don't hate magic, I just don't believe in it and furthermore, just because you know something doen't mean you have to believe it.”

Everyone sweatdropped. A typical Kaiba answer…

----------------------------------------------

Atemu and Yugi walked home after-school, as usual but when they got to the door, they noticed an envelope pinned to the door with Atemu's name in hyrogliphics on it.

“huh? What's this?” Atemu reached out and took it down. Opening it, he puled out a letter that read:

Dear big brother,

Iknow where you live and rest your head at night

Iwill be watching you in Darknessand in light

You will be mine before the end

Wait for me big brother

Now let the games begin!

Love,

Her name was signed in a red ink that Atemu suspected was blood.

“well someone has a love for the theatrical.” Atemu sighed, folding the note up and putting it away.”although, I must admit, not only I she a good poet, but she has forced my hand.”

“huh? What do you mean?” Yugi asked, looking up at his darkside.

“I have to move out.”

------------------------------------------------------------- -

Savira sat on the roof of the kame game shop, staring out at the night sky. She didn't flinch as she sensed Shojiki land behind her.

“what do you want Shojiki?”

“for you to go home. Atemu will be fine.”

“but what about Yamira?”

“she won't do anything, at least not yet. You know Beck is making sure of that. C'mon, it's cold out here.”

“I'm not stopping you from going home and dreaming about your gay boyfriend.” She snapped. Upon hearing her sister's silence she sighed. “Shojiki…”

“it's alright. Here.”

Without turning, Savira caught the blanket Shojiki had tossed at her. Her senses tingled as the younger girl opened her wings and flew into the night.
