"Wait my pharaoh, before you go I still have more to inform you of." The pharaoh turned once more to face Ishizu and took in the grim look on her face. "What is it?" "As you know it is possible for darks to absorb the lights of other darks by doing what Bakura did to Ryou."

"Yes Ishizu I am well aware of this, but Bakura was unsuccessful. We saved Yugi. "

Ishizu nodded in agreement. "Yes we saved Yugi, however, even with Ryou's soul; there is no way possible that a lowly vampire like Bakura summoned that huge creature."

"Than how, you saw it just like I did. Bakura was in command of that beast." Ishizu raised a hand to silence Atem whose voice was slowly rising. "Yes my King I saw that fowl thing, it was a giant to rival the gods."

Now the Pharaoh understood what Ishizu was getting at. Ishizu acknowledged the look of understanding on his face by going on to continue her point. "When we were in that castle my ring showed me some of the horrific events that occurred within those halls. Bakura absorbed another before Ryou."

The Pharaoh was shocked and unable to speak. If this was true than even with Yugi's help Egypt did not have a chance. "I saw it. A blond Egyptian boy whose dark served Bakura and so he handed his light over to him."

"We just lost what little chance we had than." Mana stepped forward now with an exasperated cry, "I did not want to give this to you my king. Fate has forced my hand for now it may be our only hope, but you must promise me that you will only use it as a last resort. That you will only fall on it after you have given everything you have to try and weaken Bakura with you own strength!"

"Mana…" The pharaoh stepped towards his friend and put his hands on both her shoulders. Than looking her straight in the eye he replied, "You have my word my friend."

"Than here take this and win." Mana opened her hand in it was a piece of parchment that looked like it was ripped out of a very old scroll. Atem took it from her hand and began to read it and once he was finished he understood why his friend was so hesitant to hand it over even though it could save their people.

"Thank you Mana and you as well Ishizu. I promise I will not let Bakura have his way." With that he turned and left them to locate Yugi.

He found Yugi in the corridor headed in the direction of their adjoined rooms. "Little one, I have been looking for you. We have much to discuss."

Yugi turned towards Atem and they shared a brief kiss. "Does that mean you are finally going to answer my questions?" Atem nodded, "Yes I shall, let us discuss this in my room."

They made it to Atem's room and Yugi made himself comfortable sitting on the edge of the bed while Atem stood across from him leaning up against the wall. "So do we know how we are going to save Ryou?"

"Yes little one, we must fight Bakura and thanks to a small parting gift from Mahado, Bakura's soul will be pulled into the millennium necklace that Bakura stole. Than, Ryou will be free to live in Bakura's unoccupied body. However, we must hurry. If Ryou's soul is completely overtaken by Bakura and his soul completely absorbed only to be turned into energy before we can end Bakura, than he is lost."

"If Ryou makes him so strong than how and why did he need me?" "He needed you to make him even stronger. There is a way to bond with ones light without eating their soul, however, these ways can only strengthen a bond that is already in existence. Therefore, they can only be used by a dark with there light. If a dark wanted to become even stronger then they can eat another lights soul."

Yugi was startled. "So basically he ate Ryou's souls to become stronger and he wanted mine as well!" Atem nodded to confirm. "So all we need to do to beet him and save Ryou is weakening Bakura?" Atem nodded once more. "That huge beast Bakura had, we can't beat it as we are now, can we?" Atem nodded once more. "So we need a stronger bond so we can summon monsters to and share our magic. What other ways can strengthen a bond?"

Now Atem looked embarrassed. He was fidgeting and looking all around the room to do anything in his power not to look at Yugi. Yugi could swear there was a blush on his cheeks and was a little afraid that he was not going to answer him.

"This is not the way I pictured doing this…" Atem sighed heavily and than made himself comfortable sitting beside Yugi before he continued. "I want you to understand that you do not need to do this. This should be your own choice and let nothing other than you actually wanting this convince you to take this step with me. It is intimate and will create a bond between us that can never be broken. Basically you will be stuck with me forever. Our minds, bodies, souls, and hearts will forever be connected. This is a huge decision Yugi and know that even though it will be extremely difficult, we can beat Bakura without this."

Yugi did not know why he was blushing and suddenly so embarrassed. He did not know what he would have to do, but he had already decided that it was something that would ultimately bind him to Atem forever. "I know Atem. I understand and I want to do this. I thank you for saying we can do it any other way, but honestly, I want to do this and not for any other reason so please, what do I have to do?"

-EXPLICIT ADULT CONTENT YOU NO LIKE THAN SKIP-

"All you have to do Yugi is trust me." With that he embraced Yugi and captured the boy's lips in a passionate kiss. Atem used his tongue to coax the boy into opening his mouth for him and as soon as he did, Atem plunged in. He mapped the boy's mouth and soon was in a battle for dominance. He decided to let Yugi win just to get the boy to enter his mouth as well. Using the kiss as a distraction, Atem picked the boy up and laid him out onto the bed.

When Yugi began to moan and kiss back more heatedly, Atem took it as his sign to move on. He kissed down to Yugi's ear and sucked and scraped it gently with his teeth before kissing and sucking his way down the boy's neck. "A-Atem." Yugi's moans were music to Atem's ears and even though he felt guilty that this was the only way to save his country, he knew that there was more to this moment. He loved Yugi more than anything and thanked the gods for the breath taking angel beneath him.

Atem slowly removed Yugi's clothes. Teasing them both with the activity and, even though Yugi was shy and wore a blush the whole time, he in turn removed Atem's clothes. He was a bit clumsy due to his embarrassment and hesitant when it came time to remove the king's pants but a reassuring smile helped him through it. Yugi could also swear he saw love shining in the king's eyes. Now however, he was shocked and too numb to move.

Atem's erection was impressive and he couldn't help being a bit scared. On the other hand, Atem was amazing and Yugi's fear was slowly dissipating. Replaced by desire. He pulled Atem to him and into another passionate kiss.

Atem was shocked Yugi was taking the initiative. He was afraid his little angel would run as soon as this started. However, here he was. Naked with obvious desire and for Atem! He looked beautiful. Atem laid the boy out again and drank in his soft pale skin shining with the moonlight. The boy was breathing rapidly out of breath from their last kiss and was desperately trying to suck in air through kiss-swollen lips.

"Yugi you are sure that this is was you want?" "Yes Atem" Yugi said breathlessly and hearing his name said like that from his angels lips made Atem shudder. Atem pulled Yugi into another passionate kiss and breathlessly told the boy "I love you" before taking three of his own fingers into his mouth to coat with saliva. "I love you to Atem."

Yugi believed Atem. He could tell he was being truthful just by looking into the king's eyes. Distracted by his eyes and another kiss, the boy barley flinched when a lone finger began to teas and slowly enter his virginal hole. "I am sorry for the pain little one but I promise it will pass. I will show you bliss beyond which there is no equal."

"I trust you." Atem teased and prepped Yugi until the boy was moaning and pushing back against three of his fingers.

Atem than positioned himself with Yugi's legs over his shoulders. Than he leaned close to give the boy a loving kiss. "This will hurt at first love, but I promise it will not last long." Than Atem slowly pushed into Yugi until he was fully sheathed inside. The two stayed like that with Atem holding Yugi to his body kissing him passionately as the boy griped his shoulder tightly and waited for the pain to pass.

"Pleas Atem move." At the sound of that moaned request Atem started thrusting slowly. Yugi held onto his king's shoulders and thrusting his head back he began to moan to the heavens. When he found Atem's rhythm he began to meet his thrusts. Atem took this as a sign to quicken his pace and he was soon pounding into the boy with abandon.

Atem could feel Yugi quivering and his moaning was getting lauder. He new the boy was close and so he doubled his efforts grunting with the effort and moaning Yugi's name. Than, all too soon, Yugi screamed Atem's name with his release and a few more thrusts had Atem following suite. He lay with the boy beneath him for a few moments before he finally rolled over.

-OK EXPLICIT ALL DONE-

He than pulled the boy to him and cradled him to his chest. A few moments passed while Atem simply enjoyed the moment of bliss and the pleasant smell of lilac that came from Yugi's skin.

"Atem, that was amazing. I love you." Atem smiled and thought to himself that even if his days were numbered, this one moment made his life completely worth it. "Little one you are my life, my light my love." Atem took a deep breath, as much as he just wanted to enjoy this moment, there was one more thing that they needed to do in order to make there light and dark spiritual connection complete.

"Yugi, there is one more thing we need to do in order to finish this." Yugi lifted his head up from Atem's chest in order to look the king in the eye. Once he did he could see in Atem's eyes how nervous the man was. Yugi might even go as far as to guess the man was more worried than when he was getting ready to tell him they needed to have sex. "Atem we just made love. I really don't think there is anything you could ask me to do that would put me off, so pleas lose that worried look."

Atem laughed at that one and Yugi smiled at the beautiful baritone sound he rarely got to hear as of late. Atem calmed slowly and than looked back at his love with a serious face once more. "Yugi in order to complete the connection I have to drink your blood." Well Yugi wasn't expecting that one and blurted out a reply that made Atem even more worried. "But that would turn me!"

Atem sat up quickly pulling Yugi up with him and than held his lovers face in his hands. "Yugi the only way to turn a human is to drain that human and than give them vampire blood to drink. I would never ever force that upon you. Even it was the only way to save the world. I would not let you make that choice with that influencing you. That would be you choice completely or I will not have it." Atem's voice had risen considerably during his speech and Yugi couldn't help smiling at how protective and caring Atem was for him. Atem smiled lovingly back at Yugi.

"I will only take enough blood to make the connection and it will be no were near enough to harm you. I promise you that my love. I would never hurt you." Yugi was nervous as hell and his hands were shaking a bit. However, his mind was clear and he new Atem was not lying to him. With a shaky voice he replied, "I trust you and I mean that. I trust you with all of my being." With that, he gave Atem his neck.

Atem went slow. He did not want to rush and scare Yugi away. So to start, he tenderly held Yugi's cheek to keep the boy calm and still. Than he slowly brought his lips to the boy's neck. He did not want to bite right away. First he wanted to calm the boy down so he shed tender kisses on his neck until he felt Yugi's heart beat slow down to a less frantic hum. Than he bit as carefully and tenderly as he could into the soft flesh of the boy's neck.

Yugi felt pain at first. It was like two sharp and thick needles slowly being sunk into the flesh of his throat. However, that only lasted a few seconds as it was washed away and completely forgotten by complete pleasure. The sucking was arousing and it made his whole body tingle. The feeling of his blood flow and essence itself being engulfed and put aflame by this simple act. He griped Atem's shoulders tightly and threw his head back moaning Atem's name.

Before Yugi new what had happened, it was over and he was laying back on the bed with Atem kneeling over him. He tried to talk but his whole body was humming and he just couldn't find the strength to say anything. (I hope I did not take too much). He stared up at Atem wondering if he had heard correctly. (Are you alright Yugi? You might be a little weak for a bit). Now Yugi was freaking out a bit. He could hear Atem talking but his lips are not moving. (What the heck is going on), he wondered. (It is the link Yugi. We are connected now and you can hear my thoughts just as I can hear yours.)

Suddenly, Yugi found some strength and sat up. Maybe it was a bit too quickly, due to the fact that he was now a bit dizzy. "So you are telling me that you were just talking to me through our thoughts just now?" Atem smiled and nodded in answer. "Ok so we can talk through our minds and share powers."

Atem nodded once more. "Yes love, we can do this and more. We will need to practice and train as much as possible before Bakura gets hear for his arrival will be soon. However, for now, you should rest."
