Chapter 15

Atemu awoke the next morning to find that Yami was still wrapped in his arms. Atemu slowly sat up in the hopes that he wouldn't disturb Yami, but he had no such luck…Yami awoke within minutes of Atemu.

"Where are you going Até?" Yami asked.

"Well, I need to be going to collect the second sacrifice. Once I have that one then I'll come right back here and spend more time cuddling with you. I promise." Atemu said, giving Yami a peck on the cheek before crawling out of bed.

Yami chuckled slightly before he said, "Yeah, cuddling, right that's exactly what you have in mind."

Atemu turned back to Yami with a smirk, "Alright, fine Yami, you win I'll admit it. I'd like to be able to be intimate with you a little later."

"I know that Atemu, Ra knows you can't go more than a few days without joining with me before you lose your sanity." Yami said.

"Damn straight, and it has been that way since I was what 14?" Atemu asked.

"Sometime around there, I just know we were really young, legally able to marry, but still in this modern time we would both be considered extremely young." Yami said, knowing that he and Atemu both were around 13…and Yami probably wasn't even 13 when they had first been intimate, but times have indeed changed since Ancient Egypt when it was perfectly legal to marry someone at age 11, and not too much of a long shot to be parents by around 14 or 15…possibly even sooner.

"True." Atemu said. "Now, Yami I've got to be going, otherwise you'll just have to wait longer for me to get back."

"Alright Atemu, and good luck." Yami said, getting up and wrapping his arms around Atemu before pulling him into a kiss.

Atemu reluctantly broke the kiss before he exited his soul room and returned to his body, got up and headed downstairs.

/Sorry about that beloved, but if I didn't leave then I probably wouldn't have left at all./

//That's fine Atemu, I figured that was why you left like that. But…I could always torture you as punishment for abandoning me like that.//

/Yami, you had better not./

Yami just chuckled, and Atemu shook his head, knowing exactly what Yami meant by torturing him. Yami had intended to send Atemu dirty pictures and to talk dirty with him through the mind link, knowing that would get Atemu worked up. It used to be a favorite trick of Yami's when he was feeling particularly playful back in Egypt and Atemu had been spending, what Yami had decided was too much time in the throne room.

However, Atemu also knew that the faster he went and collected the next sacrifice the sooner he could get back to Yami.

//Say, Atemu you never told me what the second sacrifice was supposed to be?//

Atemu paused. /Well Yami, according the gods I'm supposed to burn the heart of the one who wants to steal you away from me./

Atemu could feel Yami frowning, obviously not liking the sound of the sacrifice that Atemu would have to make.

/Don't worry Yami, I've already gotten it figured out and I promise I won't have to hurt anyone./

//Really? How? Because as far as I understand it you have to burn someone's heart, which you can't do unless you, well remove it from their chests…which would kill them.//

/I know that Yami, but I also know that the gods wouldn't require me to do anything that they know would upset up, and believe me I know that killing people that you consider your friends would upset you. So, I'm not going to do it./

Yami sighed but Atemu could feel Yami's genuine sense of relief to hear that Atemu wasn't going to kill anyone. //So, what are you going to do then?//

/Don't worry about it. You'll see. But for now I need to go and talk to Yugi./

//Alright, I'll be here Atemu.//

Atemu walked into the living room and saw that Yugi was sitting in front of the television with some sort of odd device in his hand, his eyes focused on the screen while he hands continued to tap the buttons on the controller. "Come on get him." Yugi mumbled under his breath.

//Video Game.// Yami explained.

/Ah, thanks./

Atemu cleared his throat before saying, "Yugi, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Yugi nodded before pushing a button on his odd device, which made the screen freeze with the words 'resume game' in the middle of the screen. Yugi then turned to Atemu, "What can I do for you Atemu?" Yugi asked.

Atemu sat down on the couch and said, "Well, Yugi I was actually hoping that you could help me figure out what I need to do for this sacrifice. I've already thought of ways around the others but this one really has me stumped, but I also know that I can't take it literally."

"And which one is this again?" Yugi asked.

"This one is the one where I have to 'burn the heart of the one trying to take Yami from me.'" Atemu said.

Yugi's eyes widened before he nodded, "Oh, right…and you said that was Anzu, right?" Yugi asked.

Atemu nodded, that was exactly who he had identified as the one trying to steal Yami. "Right, however I know that what they meant is that I have to burn something that symbolizes her love for Yami, however, the problem is that I don't know what that something would be. I was kind of hoping that you might." Atemu said.

Yugi was silent for a moment before he grinned, "Yeah, Atemu I know exactly what it is. Her love tester."

Atemu frowned, "Love tester?"

"Yeah, it's a keychain shaped like a heart, where you imput a bunch of information into it and when you click a button and you're near another love tester that supposedly is your match it'll make a beeping sound. Anzu had given me one, and after I'd put my information into it, nothing happened but later when Yami was in control Anzu gave her his to use to find the other one…long story, anyway the point is that the love tester supposedly worked for the connection between Anzu and Yami." Yugi said.

"And does she still have this love tester?" Atemu asked.

Yugi nodded, "Yeah, she has it on her key ring; you just need to convince her to give it to you." Yugi said.

Atemu nodded before he got up, "Alright, thank you Yugi, you've been a great deal of help to me."

Yugi smiled, "No problem. Feel free to ask me again if you need more help."

Atemu then summoned his shadow powers and teleported to where, according to Yami's knowledge Anzu lived.

//Hey, Atemu I've got a question for you?//

/Yeah Yami./

//Do you think that I could take over your body for awhile? I think I'd be more likely to get Anzu to give me her love tester than you would.//

/I…suppose we could do that. Would it work though?/

//Yeah, it'd work, I know it would since right now I'm sharing a body with you just like I used to with Yugi so we should be able to switch in the same way.//

/Okay Yami, go ahead. Just, be careful./

//Don't worry Atemu I will be, besides you are right here to make sure that nothing happens to me.//

Yami then focused on switching with Atemu the same way he would switch with Yugi, and when he opened his eyes again he found that he was indeed standing in front of Anzu's house in complete control of Atemu's body.

Yami walked up to the door and knocked. A few moments later Anzu opened the door and once she realized who it was she smiled widely at him. "Hello Yami." She said flirtatiously. Yami could hear Atemu growling.

//Easy Atemu, just ignore her. I certainly am.//

/Fine Anku, but she tries anything she's dead./

Yami just shook his head, knowing that Atemu didn't mean it…or at least he hoped Atemu didn't mean it.

"Umm, Anzu I was actually hoping that you could help me with something." Yami said.

"And what would that be Yami?" Anzu asked.

"I'm trying to figure out a way to prove to Atemu that I don't belong with him and for the longest time I was at a loss for how to prove it to him, and then I thought of your love tester and how it reacts to me. I think that will be just the proof that I need. So, do you think I can borrow it?" Yami asked, mentally cringing at the lie he had just spouted off.

Though he was able to feel Atemu reassuring him through the mind link so he knew that Atemu understood that he didn't mean it, which made it a bit easier to stomach.

"Sure Yami, anything for you." Anzu said before she ran back into her house. A few moments later she returned love tester in hand. "Here you go Yami."

Yami reached out to grab the love tester from Anzu. However, when his hand touched hers she grabbed his hand pulling him to her before kissing him on the lips. Yami quickly pushed her away, thankful that he had managed to grab the love tester from her while she had pulled him forward since he did not want to risk getting kissed again.

"Well, Anzu…I have to be going now. Thank you very VERY much for you help." Yami said.

"No problem Yami." Anzu said.

Yami smiled at her one last time before he turned and left. Atemu immediately took back over, clenched the love tester in his hand before he teleported back to the Game Shop.

/As soon as I burn this thing Yami. I am removing that bitches touch from you. How dare she kiss you like that? Only I am allowed to kiss you./

//That's fine with me Atemu.//

Atemu entered his and Yami's room in the Game Shop and set the love tester on the ground in front of him. He closed his eyes and concentrated on summoning fire…and a few moments later he smelt the distinct scent of smoke and opened his eyes to see that the love tester was indeed on fire.

"Mighty Egyptian gods. I offer up the heart of the one who wishes to take my Anku." Atemu said, and just as with Bakura's blood there was a blinding flash of light and once the light had cleared the love tester and fire were gone.

Atemu then laid back down on his and Yami's bed before entering his and Yami's soul room…after all he needed to remind Yami exactly why he was his.

A/N: Alright and this does if for this update…sorry so the huge delay. School and writers block all decided to get in the way.
