Chapter Nine

 

Seto awoke and looked over at the clock on the wall and noticed it was ten in the morning. He tried to sit up but noticed something was holding him down. He lifted up the blanket and noticed messy tri colored hair, and then last nights events played in his mind.

 

He tried to get up without disturbing Yami so he sat up and slowly made his way over to the back of the couch. Yami mumbled something and curled up hugging the blanket closer to him. Seto smiled and went to get ready for work.

 

Thirty minutes later he walked back downstairs. Yami was still asleep as he placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Seto smiled down at his love as he brushed the blonde bangs out of Yami's face.

 

Seto walked over to the kitchen counter and wrote a note for Yami. He grabbed his trench coat and keys as he walked out the door to head toward Kaiba Corp.

 

Yami opened his eyes and noticed that he was on Seto's couch. He sat up and grabbed his head.

 

“I forgot how bad hangovers can be.” He mumbled as he grabbed his pants that had been tossed over the back of the couch. Slipping them on he made his way to the kitchen to find anything to help get rid of his headache. He grabbed a bottle of pills out of the cabinet and took two. He then noticed the note on the marble counter.

 

Yami,

Went to work. You get the day off to rest. Make yourself at home. Call you later.

Seto

 

Yami made his way to the couch with a cup of coffee in hand. He sat down and smiled.

 

// Aibou //

 

\\ Yami \\ Yugi smiled \\ Have fun? \\

 

// What? //

 

\\ Never mind, are you at work? \\

 

// No, Seto gave me the day off. //

 

\\ Oh, class is cut short today due to the snow so I will be home after this period. \\

 

// I'll be over just let me take a shower. //

 

\\ Alright, see ya. \\

 

// Bye Aibou. //

 

Yugi made his way into the game shop and turned on the TV to see how bad the snow storm was supposed to get.

 

“Man, it's supposed to snow all week and at least ten inches tonight.” He sighed as he sat down.

 

“I hope jii-chan will make it back in time for Christmas.”

 

“Aibou!!”

 

“In the living room Yami!”

 

Yami walked in and sat beside his hikari. “So how much snow are we supposed to get?”

 

“They say we could get at least ten inches to a foot by morning. I just hope jii-chan can make it home with all this terrible weather.”

 

“I'm sure it will let up by then, besides you always have me.” Yami smirked as he put his arm around Yugi's shoulder.

 

“Thanks.” Yugi smiled up at his dark.

 

“You're welcome Aibou.”

 

“So how was your night at Kaiba's?”

 

Yami turned as red as a tomato. “Well it was….eventful.”

 

“So are you two together now?” Yugi asked noticing his darkness blush.

 

“Yeah, I guess you could say that.” Yami turned his face away from his hikari.

 

“Well I'm happy for you!” Yugi smiled as he grabbed Yami around the waist.

 

“You are?” Yami confused by his hikari's actions.

 

“Yeah you seem very happy now instead of being sad like you where a few weeks ago.”

 

Yami smiled and hugged Yugi closer. “Yes Aibou I am very happy now.”

 

 

 

Seto sat in his office going through old duel clippings from Battle City. He smiled when he came across a picture of Yami with his trademark smirk and arms folded over his chest. Then he noticed another picture from the last tournament that Kaiba Corp held.

It was of Yami and himself standing together at the end of the tournament. Some of the journalists there covering the duel wanted a picture of the two famous duelists standing together.

 

Seto wearing his black turtle neck, black leather pants and his white and silver trench coat. Yami was wearing a crimson turtle neck, black leather pants and a black trench coat and of course his two belts that hung loosely around his waist. Both had their duel disks still on and both were smirking at the camera.

 

Yugi had told the reporters that Yami was his older brother from Egypt and that it was in fact Yami that had dueled in Duelist Kingdom and Battle City. Yami was shocked that Yugi had told them that, but Yugi had said that he would have plenty of times to duel. He knew that this was going to be Yami's last tournament.

Yugi was sure to become the nest king of games since he and Yami dueled so much alike.

 

Seto looked through some more pictures of the last tournament and the last picture was Yami smiling and Yugi right beside him. He smiled at the reason this picture was taken. Mokuba wanted a picture to put on the website that had all of the duel tournaments on it. Seto had lost to Yami right after this picture was taken, but he really didn't mind since Yami was the only duelist to ever beat him in an honorable duel anyway.

 

Seto leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He was in love and had been for sometime, that is why he hired Yami after all. Not only did he work hard, but he also wanted to get closer to his former rival. He reached for the phone he needed, no, wanted to call Yami.

 

Yami sat on the couch watching Yugi and Jou duel when his cell phone rang.

 

“Hello.”

 

“Yami, its Seto. I was wondering if you would like to come over again tonight?”

 

“I would love to.”

 

“Great I will pick you up at seven, be ready.”

 

“Alright.”

 

“Bye Yami.”

 

“Bye.” Yami hung up the phone and sat it on the coffee table.

 

 

“Who was that?” Yugi asked as he played a trap card.

 

“Seto.”

 

“Kaiba!” Jou yelled. “Why is he calling you?”

 

“Well I do work for him Jou.” Yami stated.

 

“Oh yeah.” Jou said as he concentrated on his next move.

 

“Yugi, Seto is coming over later to pick me up. Will you be okay here tonight?” Yami asked his light.

 

“Yeah it's fine. Jou is staying the night since school was already cancelled for tomorrow and we are going Christmas chopping.”

 

“Wait…Yami are you and Kaiba…….you know?” Jou asked looking shocked.

 

“Well Jou you see Seto and I were together when I was Pharaoh and he was my High Priest, so yeah I guess we are.”

 

Jou looked between Yami and Yugi. “Yuge, you're okay wit dis?”

 

“Yeah, I mean Yami's really happy and that makes me happy.”

Jou then looked at Yami and saw a true smile. It seemed like it had been ages since he saw the Pharaoh smile.

 

“Well then I'm happy for ya Yam's.” Jou smiled and gave thumbs up.

 

“Jou, I win.” Yugi said as he played his final card. Jou looked at Yugi then pouted as he tossed his three remaining cards in his hand on the table.

 

“Aibou I'm going to take a nap before Seto arrives.” Yami said as he got off the couch.

 

“Alright.” Yugi waved as Yami made his way to the stairs. He smiled and waived back at his hikari.

 

“Yuge, best two outta three.” Jou said as he shuffled his cards.

 

“You're on!”

 

Yami smiled as he walked up the stairs. He walked in his room and lay on his bed and drifted off to sleep.

 

 

 

 

~ Atemu stood outside of the palace looking at the dark figures terrorizing the city. The shadows had been gaining power over the years and finally released. Crimson eyes scanned the solemn faces of his priests and advisor. One was missing though, his High Priest. Seth was not among them. He turned his gaze up to the night sky, but there were no stars only blackness.

 

`Well this is where it ends then.' He thought as a tear slid down his cheek. He stepped forward and placed his hands around his puzzle.

 

“Goodbye my friends, I will miss you all, but know everybody who has passed have not died in vain and I will see to that.” Atemu turned to see tear stained cheeks and red, puffy eyes.

 

“I will put a stop to this and sacrifice myself so that the people of Egypt and all of you can and will live long and happy lives.” Atemu turned and stared at the shadows and their leader Bakura followed by Zorc. He began to chant and the puzzle let off a blinding light.

 

“ATEMU!”

 

Atemu's eyes snapped open, `that voice, my love.'

 

Seto ran up and embraced the Pharaoh as the other priests gasped.

 

“Atemu, my love please don't do this there must be another way.” Seth pleaded his lips near Atemu's ear.

 

“Seth.” The Pharaoh paused as tears started to fall from his eyes. “There is no other way believe me I have looked in many scrolls and in the sacred tablets. This is something I must do.”

 

Tears fell from Seth's eyes as he stared at pain and sorrow filled crimson eyes. “Atemu, my Pharaoh, my love please…” Seth embraced him as they both cried for each other.

 

“My priest you will always be in my heart and we will be together again, I promise. Remember me and our love for that will get you through.”

 

“I will always love you and could never forget you, my love.”

 

“Seth I am sorry but I must part with you now where you cannot follow. I love you with all my heart and soul. I am sorry my Priest.”

 

“Atemu.” Seth breathed

 

“Take care of our friends and the people of the city, Pharaoh.” Atemu spoke softly cupping Seth's face.

They kissed one last time and Atemu turned around purple cape gracefully blowing around him as the wind picked up.

 

Seth watched with tear filled eyes as Atemu held the puzzle above his head and chanted. The shadows screamed as a bright gold light erupted from the millennium puzzle sweeping across the land.

 

Bakura grabbed his chest as he slid to the ground. `So the Pharaoh is going to sacrifice himself.' He thought to himself as the millennium ring began to glow. `Such a selfless act, maybe I was wrong.' Then his eyes rolled back in his head and his soul was incased in the ring. He fell to the ground dead. Zorc was also killed as the light ripped through his body and with Bakura no longer among the living had no power source to keep him alive.

 

As the light died down Atemu collapsed on the ground trembling at all the energy he had lost. He could feel his soul being torn from his body. He closed his eyes as the pain engulfed him. He heard the cheers and knew he must have defeated the shadows, but at what price.

 

“Atemu!” Seth screamed as he ran and kneeled down embracing the Pharaohs lithe body.

 

“Oh Ra….please don't leave.” Seth begged as he placed his lips to Atemu's.

 

“I am sorry. I love you, Seth.” Atemu could feel the blood rising up his throat.

Seth kissed Atemu again and could taste the blood that trickled out of the corner of Atemu's mouth.

 

Seth heard Atemu gasp and he pulled back to look at his love. He wiped the tears from his Pharaoh's eyes not caring about the ones that fell from his.

 

Yami gave a gurgled breath as his eyes rolled back and he fell limp into the priest's arms. There was a loud crack and the puzzle broke into many pieces as the Pharaoh took his last breath.

 

“Atemu….NO ATEMU!” Seth screamed as he hugged his love closer to him. The Pharaoh, his one true love had passed on to the afterlife. He realized then that his heart had broken and never again be healed no matter what he did. ~

 

 

 

Yami sat straight up in bed as he felt hot tears on his cheeks. `So that was how it all ended.' He thought as he looked at the clock. It was 5:00pm he had about an hour before Seto arrived. He slipped out of the bed and to get changed, he wondered if Seto remembered anything about their past. If so he hoped that the memory of his death was one thing Seto didn't remember.
