Hey everybody guess what? IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! YAY! Yes, you are probably thinking how lame I am for coming on here on my birthday but...well, I dunno. It probably is lame.

Anywho , everybody mentally help me tear my own hair out...thank you...The idiot I am I wrote down loads of chapters when my mum banned me from the computer and, now I can't be bothered to type them down! Ah well I'll preserve, just for you!

God, I'm in a weirdly good mood!

Chapter 7

The doors slammed open and Atem and Malik (who Atem had given the key too) stalked in.

"Atem." Yugi gasped falling to her knees, head in hands, before Bakura and Marik dropped into a defending stance in front of her.

"Bloody Pharaoh." They growled anger evident on their faces. Seeing them defend Yugi made Atem's blood boil and, apparently seeing Marik willing to fight against him had the same effect on Malik. So they attacked the two who dodged out of the way, Marik pulling Yugi out of the way and Bakura shot back. Marik soon joined him and it was two against two.

Meanwhile Yugi was trying to calm a, for once in his life, freaking out Dumbledore and get everybody out of the room before something exploded. Not that it worked, they just gawked at the fight going on. So she gave up and ran to help her friends.

Bakura and Marik were having the time of their lives. They hadn't used their powers to properly attack anybody in a long time so, as they dodged out of the way of attacks and shot their own back, they had big, sadistic smiles on their faces.

Yugi could only watch in horror as shadow weapons, and the occasional light weapon from Marik, were sent flying all over the place.

She was trying to get over to join Marik and Bakura when Atem noticed.

He slowly approached while not letting her go forward with a crimson force-field.

"Yugi, I know you've been bewitched but you can't believe anything they say! I miss you and I really want you to come back!"

"Don't tell me I've been bewitched! I'm your hikari and you barely even notice me! These two," she pointed to Bakura and Marik, "were there for me when you weren't! This was all the time I'll let you know! You just want me back because you can't let him," she pointed to Bakura "Have anything that you don't!"

"That's not true." He said, ashamed.

"Oh isn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know I know what you've been up to." She growled, eyes narrowed, glaring heatedly into his blood-red orbs, daring him to contradict her.

"No I don't," strike one, "and you don't either." Strike two. "Yugi, you're coming back even if we have to force you!" Oh hell to strike three, he's going down!

"You can try, but you won't succeed!"

And with that he sent a shadow ball at her, which she easily shielded against and sent flying back a burning light spear which, as he hadn't been expecting, hit home. He bit his lip to stop himself from crying out in pain before dodging out of the way of another attack.

~YPOV~

As my attack hit him, Atem struggled to not scream out but, the force field flickered out, a testimony to his pain. I smiled; he didn't think his small hikari could do that. Shows how little he knows me really. Well now it's time to give him some of the pain he gave me! While he was preoccupied with an attach Marik sent his way, I ran over to my boys, ready to fight the way we practised.

~APOV~

I was devastated. My hikari, with them. Fighting against me. Subconsciously I knew it was my fault but, as she ran over to protect and fight with my enemy's, I lost all rational thoughts.

~YPOV~

We took up our fighting pose. Me in the middle to protect the other's as well as fight. And the boys either side of me, fighting with no worries of being hurt.

I don't want to fight but, I also don't want to lose the life I started here. I comforted myself with the facts that if I did stop fighting my friends are damned to the shadows, and I'm not letting that happen.

~APOV~

As we fought them I noticed how powerful Yugi was. She didn't need help from the other two and was protecting them with a shield that strong enough to withhold our strongest attacks, while occasionally fighting.

I knew it would probably be killing her to fight but I can't lose her. Not again. Not now.

Just then she sent an attack at me which made me lose my footing, then Bakura made the final move.

~BPOV~

I know deep down Yugi doesn't want Atem to die. She may want to hurt him, hell she probably wants something to maul him! But she doesn't want him to die, shame really...

So as she sent a powerful enough attack to make him fall over. I blasted him just enough to knock him out.

With him down it was easy to knock out Malik, something Marik took obvious pleasure in.

When they were unconscious a panting Marik said,

"Do you think we should take away their items?"

"Nah, maybe then they'll get the gist we don't want to fight them as long as they leave us alone." Yugi sighed.

"Ok, then let's throw them out!" I said

"Sure, I'll leave you to it." Yugi yawned

We took pleasure in throwing them out. Surprisingly we found the pep squad plus the Kiaba brothers outside the gates.

"Keep them on a leash next time, kapish?"

They mumbled what sounded like,

"Yeah, Yeah, kapish."

Yay, my birthday!
