In the last chapter of To Love Loveless: remix!
 
“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
 
---
“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…”
 
----
 
“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 presented 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.
 
-----
“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 beatific smile.
 
------
 
“Well someone has a love for the theatrical.” Atemu sighed, folding the note up and putting it away. “Although, I must admit, not only is 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.”
 
------------------------------------------
 
Chapter 6: shrink
 
6 months went by without incident, though Savira kept a close eye on Yamira. The former queen acted like your average schoolgirl, making friends easily with her bubbly nature. It wasn't long before she had a fan club going that could rival Atemu's.
 
“There is no hope for this generation. I mean really, can't they see the way she is acting is a front?!” Savira grumbled as they ate lunch in the classroom with the rest of the tachi, Yamira and her admirers a noisy crowd on the other side of the room.
 
“I half agree with you, Savira but the other half is just relieved that she's not paying any attention to me.” Atemu sighed.
 
“coward.” She muttered irritably.
 
“what was that?!”
 
“don't mind her Atemu, she's just pissed that she's not going to get asked to the valentine's day dance.' Shojiki intervened smoothly, once again stealing Seto's lunch. Not that it mattered, the billionaire didn't eat half of it anyway.
 
“why would I be mad about something moronic as that? I have bigger fish to fry.” She scoffed, popping a California roll in her mouth.
 
“like what?” Shojiki shot back.
 
Swallowing, she answered: “like the school science fair.”
 
Shojiki's jaw dropped. “the dance is 2 weeks away and you are worried about some geek fair?!” and after hearing Seto's indignant noise of protest, she added, “sorry Seto.”
 
“I'm not worried about it. I know I will win, it's just that it is the cause of more of my concern than the dance. People from various scientific corporations will be there so I have to do my best if I want to get a good job or at the least get into a good college.” Savira explained.
 
“that's a good reason but Kaiba holds the current winning streak for the past 4 years.” Yugi said. Seto smirked, smug that he is beating Atemu at something. But this authoress wonders, does it count if Atemu never participated in the first place…?
 
“well, if I was you Kaiba, I would break out the Kleenex now.” Savira said, rising to rinse out her bento box.
 
“why?”
 
“because, “ she said smirking, “my invention is gonna make you weep.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------< /div>
 
it's almost time aibou…soon, we'll meet again and you'll be mine once more.
 
Now, all I need to do is clean up this blood…
 
-----------------------------------
 
“are you sure you don't want me to accompany you to take that back?” Yugi asked as they walked home that afternoon. Sure, Atemu may have moved away and had to take a bus to get to his new apartment, it was better to walk to the shop first and Atemu take the bus from there. Besides, there was no way he would let his aibou walk home alone despite Yugi's protests that he had been doing so before he met Atemu.
 
“no Yugi, it's best I do it and if something happens, to run like hell. I can't do that if I'm worrying about you.” Atemu replied, smiling at Yugi's pout.
 
“just because you have longer legs doesn't mean you are faster.”
 
“want to prove that tomorrow in gym class?”
 
“you're on!” Atemu chuckled at his aibou's fervor to best him.
 
After arriving at the game shop, they parted ways and Atemu got on the bus to Savira's. Shojiki had sent him the directions on his phone since he never been there before. In his mind, he wondered what the reclusive girl's home would be like. A dark spooky haunted house? A traditional Japanese castle or maybe…
 
“last stop, Domino Green.”
 
Atemu blinked, the bus driver's voice pulling him out his reverie. He got off the bus and looked at his surroundings.
 
It wasn't too far from his own apartment, in fact, he could have went home, dropped off his stuff and walked there. But it was too late to do that now. Steeling himself, he headed inside the third building…
 
--------------------------------------------
 
“Savira! Savira, it's me Atemu. I came to drop off your book you let me borrow,” Atemu called as he knocked on the door.
 
There was a pause before the door opened. Atemu stepped in before noticing that he didn't see Savira anywhere. Then who opened the door-
 
“woof!”
 
Atemu blinked and looked down. Staring up at him was a black wolf with intelligent ice blue eyes.
 
`of course, Savira wouldn't have a normal dog like everyone else…she would have a wolf. But still, I hate dogs so this is an improvement.' Atemu thought to himself. He reached out a hand to pet the wolf's head and finding the animal not growl at him, he gently scratched him behind the ears.
 
“hey boy, can you tell me where your master is?”
 
the wolf barked and led him to the basement of the condominium. Down there were various mechanical odds and ends and, in the corner, working on a large mechanical whatchamacallit, was Savira.
 
The wolf padded over to her and sat down beside her. She looked at it, as if exchanging a silent conversation then sighed. “I know, Beck, I know.”
 
She stood and finally acknowledged Atemu's presence.
 
“so…you came to return my book?”
 
“uh..yeah, here.” He holds it out to her, letting his arm drop. “cool wolf you got there.”
 
“his name is Beck.”
 
“cool, can he sing too?,” Atemu joked. [1]
 
“only if you give a really good treat,” she replied. Atemu's jaw dropped.
 
`I was only joking!' he thought to himself.
 
“anyway, uhm…I was wondering…would you like to go to the dance with me?”
 
Savira paused in going back to working on her machine.
 
“this is a joke right?”
 
“no, it's not.”
 
“did you not hear me when I said I had work to do?” she said gesturing to her monster of an invention, “and besides, don't you have a girlfriend?”
 
“that's the think, the group decided to go with just friends so Yugi is going with Tea, Joey with Shojiki and Serenity is with Seto and Mai is with Tristen. Shojiki asked me to ask you.”
 
“remind me to clobber her later and besides, since when did you consider me a friend?”
 
“any friend of Yugi's is a friend of mine and besides, I have to repay you for saving me from the tempus Alternia.”
 
“consider it repaid. I don't want to go to some stupid dance, especially not with you.” she said the last word in distain. Atemu felt wounded before his anger rose.
 
“I don't care if you don't want to go with me. At least I'm not holing up in my home with a stupid hunk of junk that probably won't even work!”
 
“the doomsday reverse will too work!”
 
Atemu blinked. “Doomsday reverse? What kind of name is that?”
 
“it's a interdemensional time traveler. You can go to any when you want in any galaxy.” Savira explained.
 
“if it's that good, then why enter it in some dinky high school science fair?”
 
“I'm not entering it in that, duh. I'm already finished with my entry.”
 
“huh?”
 
“Montegue!”
 
a small robot with a TV for a head walked in. it was made up of various household parts, the torso what looked like a metal encased blender and the arms and legs thick cords of braided wire braided together. His hands and feet were obviously stolen off a classroom skeleton model.
 
“yes, Savira-sama?” it asked, it's question appearing on the TV screen.
 
“wow.” That was all Atemu could say. Savira smirked.
 
“all I have to do is get him a voice module and enlarge his body and I'll be ready. Kaiba has no chance against this.”
 
Atemu watched silently as Savira showed off Montegue, the little robot that came barely coming up to his knee, by making him do simple tasks such as clean up, do the laundry and walk Beck around the condo.
 
“Savira…”
 
“aha, I thought you were stunned to silence.”
 
“you thought wrong. I have a wager for you.”
 
“bring it.”
 
“if you can get that thing, “ he said pointing at the doomsday reverse, “up and running perfectly, I'll be your test subject for a week; if you fail…you have to not only go to the dance with me but give me valentine's chocolate in class on valentine's day. Do we have a deal?”
 
“deal.”
 
-------------------------------------------------
 
the week passed by without incident except for one: Savira didn't show up for school at all. She didn't answer her phone and when Atemu was interrogated on the silver-haired girl's absence, he only replied:
 
“she's only trying to improve her chances.”
 
He didn't elaborate further, leaving everyone confused. What was going on between those two?
 
-------------------------------------------------
 
on Monday of the next week, Savira showed up at school, a smug smirk on her features.
 
“it's finished and ready for testing, Hamtaro. Just you wait.” She said, taking her seat.
 
“Hamtaro?”
 
“you are going to be my guinea pig, remember?”
 
“Hamtaro is a hamster.”
 
“then be glad I choose something cute. In my opinion, you are more of a gerbil.”
 
“what?!”
 
“excuse me?”
 
the arguing two looked up and saw Yamira standing there, an angelic yet inquiring look on her face. Automatically, Savira took the defensive, while Atemu looked a bit off-guard.
 
“what do you want?” Savira huffed.
 
“I was wondering, if it would not be too much trouble, if Atemu-san would help me with my calculus homework.” she said, a gentle smile on her face.
 
“yes, it would be too much trou-”
 
“not at all Yamira. Why don't you bring it over here and we can work it out.” Atemu said, cutting Savira off. The silver-haired girl glowered at him.
 
“right now isn't the best time. Why don't I come over your house this afternoon-”
 
“that's no good. He's coming over my house. We have an appointment, right Atemu?” Savira cut in, sending Atemu a death glare. The former Pharaoh sweatdropped.
 
“she's right.”
 
“okay then, we can just meet at Savira's.”
 
“what?! You little-”
 
“that's not a bad idea Yamira. Today at 4?” Atemu said, once again risking his life by cutting Savira off.
 
“okay.” Yamira chirped before skipping back over to her friends just as the bell for the end of lunch rang.
 
---------------------------------------
 
“HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND?!” Savira roared at Atemu after school, barely being held back by Shojiki, Seto, Joey, Tristen, Ryou, and Yugi.
 
“well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!” Atemu yelled down from the tree he was hiding in. Not that it would stop Savira but one could try…
 
“what do you mean?”
 
“well, this way, we can find out her intentions and not only that, if she does try something, you can stop her.” Atemu pointed out. Savira cooled down at this logic.
 
“yeah…well…cut me off again like that and you'll be eating through an IV.” She snarled before storming off, easily shaking off everyone who was holding her back. Atemu waited a minute before climbing out of the tree.
 
“whoa, what did you do to make her mad like that Atemu?” Tea asked, helping her boyfriend pull leaves out of his hair.
 
“I invited Yamira to accompany me to Savira's for a study session.”
 
“wow, someone has a death wish,” Shojiki marveled, continuing after Atemu let out a snort of derision, “has it not got in your head that Yamira is a stubborn, possessive, devious chick that is obsessed over you?”
 
“put like that, she's like the female version of all of Atemu's bad qualities,” Seto pointed out. Atemu glared at him.
 
“thanks for reminding me of that you two but believe me, Yamira is not that much of a threat. Like me, since this is not ancient Egypt, she has no power here-”
 
“except for that weird tempus Alternia thing and that silver millennium puzzle,” Yugi put in.
 
“thanks, aibou. I really needed that reminder, “ Atemu growled.
 
“you're welcome,” Yugi chirped.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
later that afternoon at Savira's…
 
the three of them were engaged in their study session, Atemu quietly tutoring Yamira while Savira tinkered with Montegue. It may have looked like a cozy study session but the tension was so thick, you needed an industrial chain saw to cut it.
 
`if I had the choice of this or facing both Bakura, zork and Marik in the Shadow realm, tied up and them at full power, I would be in the Shadow realm in an instant.' Atemu thought to himself, not seeing the glare Savira sent him as she read his thoughts. `there is just too much tension in this room. Something's got to give.'
 
Just as he thought that, Savira slammed down her monkey wrench, making both Atemu and Yamira start.
 
“ok, that's it. I know your game, Yamira so just give it up!” she declared, glaring at the other female.
 
`and give it did,' Atemu thought, watching Yamira for her reaction.
 
“I have no idea what you are talking abou-“
 
“cut the crap Yamira. I know, he know, and the geek squad knows that you you are a crazy-ass megalomaniac with a incestuous love for your brother and will do anything to get him.” Savira retorted, cutting her off and utterly ignoring Atemu's affronted noise at the `geek squad' slight.
 
“I don't want him.” Yamira said quietly, her head down.
 
“don't BS-“
 
“I don't have to `get' him because, I ALREADY HAVE HIM!!!” she shrieked pulling Atemu into a headlock and putting a gun to his head. “you move and neither one of us gets him, understand boobless bitch?”
 
Savira shot her a bored stare. “how can you hold a mummy for a hostage? He's already dead.”
 
“HEY!” came Atemu's highly offended response.
 
when Yamira was distracted, Savira side kicked at Yamira's gun hand, knocking the gun out of the psycho's grip and grabbing Atemu. Stumbling slightly, the two of them ran to the basement, Yamira's barbaric cry of reconciliation their background music. Not long after, shots rang out as Yamira shot at them.
 
“psycho evil sisters, guns, tempus alternia- the things I deal with since I've met you…” Atemu grumbled, ducking as a bullet grazed his shoulder. Luckily, it only nicked his studded armband.
 
“oh just shut up and run you freakin' mummy midget Pharaoh,” Savira grumbled back.
 
The duo made it to the basement and slammed the door behind them.
 
“I can take down Yamira alone but not with me worrying over your inept behind,” she said moving over to the laptop attached to the complete doomsday reverse. “so I am going to teleport you to your room.”
 
“inept?! Who are you calling inep- wait…did you just say that you would worry about me?”
 
“shut up.” She growled, shoving him into the first pod and closing it. She was glad she opted for an opaque cover for the machine so he couldn't see her blush which was pretty prominent on her pale skin.
 
The door exploded as she put in the coordinates of Atemu's room -and please, don't ask how she knew them-. Yamira stormed into the room and fired off a couple shots. Savira ducked as the bullets ricocheted off of the doomsday reverse's bulletproof cover. She may be an immortal but dammit, bullets sting like hell.
 
Unfortunetly, Savira didn't think to make a bulletproof cover for the laptop. So it was natural that the laptop shattered from the bullet's impact.
 
“NO!”
 
Savira shoved Yamira away from the wreckage in an attempt to get to it so she could fix it. In her hurry, she accidentally shoved Yamira into the other pod…which was a dumb idea once you thought about it. Lights flashed, machines hummed and a shitload of smoke filled the room.
 
“oh…crud…”
 
the pods opened and two people came out of them.
 
“jeez Savira, that was worse than that- hey what happened to my voice?” Atemu asked in a cute little kid voice that would probably even make Kaiba go `awww…'.
 
“what did you do to us you bitch?!” Yamira howled.
 
Savira just smirked. “now, little girl, do you think you should be saying such things? Whatever would your mother say?”
 
“what the hell-“
 
“uh…Yamira? Why don't you come over here?” Atemu asked, staring into the shiny surface of the doomsday reverse. Yamira trotted over but once she caught their reflection, she let out a ear-piercing shriek then fainted. Atemu tried to catch her, only to wind up in a chibi pile on the floor, little swirls in his eyes. Savira supressed an uncharisteristic giggle.
 
“I cant believe you shrunk us. Kaiba is going to have a field day.”Atemu said in a monotone.
