Author�s Notes: First off I would like to say arigato for all the great reviews I have been getting. You are all such sweet people! Originally chapter 2 was suppose to be two chapters split from that one but doing so would mean one of them would have to be incredible sort and I hate that as much as the next person. I also hate cliffhangers myself but they do keep you back for me. Am I right or am I right? :-D Also please forgive me if I use some words in Japanese and others in English. I am terrible with foreign languages, even my native tongue! Plus I can�t spell and my grammar is only slightly better -.-; (Spell Checker on Word can only help so much after all�)

If you want to read some more of my fics (ones others then I have here) not rated NC-17 (hey there is life beyond lemons and such :-D) then just go to FanFiction.Net (I could call it so much other names) and look for the Pen Name �Dark Beloved of Light� and that�s where I�ll be. Aside from fics and I also do angst poetry. Okay well wish me luck so I can finish this, wrangle my muse away from the PS2, and find my dj (Japanese comic)! Bye now!!

�Sins of the Father�

By: Beloved/Shadow
�Yugi?� Bright violet eyes turned and found themselves locked onto a pair of dark, bluish-black gaze. He wasn�t sure why but the boy felt himself getting drawn into them. The man slowly walked over to him, looking down at him form his height of six and a half feet, slowly reaching out to run his hand down a smooth cheek before slowly wrapping his arms around him, pulling his into a tight hug. �Yugi� I�m finally home�� he whispered softly for only him to hear.

�Say what??� the blonde blinked, getting confused.

�Hey who is this guy anyway?� Tristen asked but Bakura could only shrug his shoulders. He was just as clueless as everyone else. At first Yugi didn�t return the hug but soon little bits of memory began to come out that he knew who it was. Dropping his bad to the ground he slowly rising shaking arms and wrapped them around the man but not as tightly. What he said next shocked everyone except for his grandfather who was still scowling.

�Daddy� you came back after all��
�DADDY?!?!� came the chorused cry from four teenaged youths that it was more then enough to jar the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle awake from his sleep. Yami was a bit panicked that he actually rolled off his bed and landed on the hard floor of his soul room with a loud thud. Grumbling to himself he was just about to contact his hikari when he heard voices. Most of them all familiar but one he had never heard before.

�Yug� is this guy really ya father!?� Joey asked quite loudly, staring at the tall man and his best friend back and forth.

�How come you never told us, man??� Tristen asked himself in a, thankfully lower tone.

�It just never came up really,� came the soft reply. Surgokou, however; didn�t let that stop him from verbally attacking his son-in-law once again.

�Why have you decided to come after all these years?? Are you in some kind of trouble once again?!?� he asked hotly, making the spirit back up just a bit. He had never heard the old man talk like that before! Sure he would get a tad upset at Joey and them but this tone was something entirely new to him, and to Yugi as well.

�Grandpa��

�No�Surgokou you are only half right. I haven�t called or written in years but only because I was busy with so many things I just couldn�t seem to find time. Now that I am here I would like to spend some time with him� alone.�

�I trust you as far as I can throw you, Sasaki!!!�

�Grandpa please stop yelling!� the young teenager pleaded with him, looking at him with bright amethyst eyes. �I want to talk to him. Alone.�

�But-�

�Please! I want to remember him.� He silently begged him to let them talk, to try and remember this man he called his father. He could only remember bits and pieces of his childhood, most of it was a big blur but one thing that did stand out was that his mother died when he was young. Everything else had been locked away because even to this day it was still hard to not get depressed while thinking about her. Surgokou looked at him for a long time before heaving a great sigh and simply nodded his head. Yugi smiled and hugged him as tight as he could, managing to get a smile from the old man. �I promise I�ll be back.�

�I know you will. Sasaki, don�t keep him out late. He still has homework and chores to do.�

The other man chuckled weakly as he shook his head. �Always the stern task master, Surgokou. C�mon Yugi.�

Tea blinked as they began to walk off and reached a hand towards him. �Yugi wait!�

�I�ll call you later, promise!� he called over his shoulder just before he and his �father� turned around the corner, disappearing from sight.

�But that�s what I�m afraid of�� she trailed off softly, looking up as Tristen rested his hand on her shoulder in a comforting manner. The others were quiet but something did not settle well with any of them.
�So your name is Sasaki?�

�Yes-I mean hai. Sorry, I�ve been in America for the past couple of years so it hard getting used to speaking like this.�

�It�s okay. What were you doing there?�

�Business. My employer wanted me to pick up something and I was the only one, aside from three others, he trusts with just about anything. Basically that�s what my job is, picking up and delivering stuff here and there.�

�Kinda like an international delivery boy?� Yugi said with a small smile.

Sasaki returned the smile and nodded his head. �Yeah� yeah that�s pretty much it in a nutshell. But enough of me, what�s been going on with you since I last saw you?�

�Well grandpa has been taking real good care of me. I help out in the game shop after school, I�m a junior at Domino High and I have some really great friends.�

�You mean those kids back there with you? They seem really concernboutbout your welfare.�

�We�ve been through a lot and somehow that just brought us closer together. The ones back there was Joey, he�s the blonde with the brown eyes; Tristen, he�s the one with brown hair and hazel eyes; Bakura, he has silver-white hair and brown eyes; and Tea, the girl with brown hair and blue eyes. I also have other friends like Malik, Isis, Duke, Mokuba, Seto-�

�Wait a minute. You�re friends with the Istars and Kaibas?� he asked, pausing for a moment to look down at the teenage boy with surprise written all over his face.

�H-hai� they�re really good friends of mine. Do you know them?�

�� No. I just did some deliveries for their companies and such. I�ve been meaning to ask you, where did you get that large pyramid?� he asked, quickly changing the subject back to him.

A slender hand reached up for the puzzle and Yugi couldn�t help but smile softly in thought. �It was from grandpa� he gave it to me shortly after I came to live with you. Originally it was a puzzle and came in this box all the way from Egypt but it took me a really long time to put it together.�

�Egypt huh?� he said absently, reaching out to hold the puzzle in his hand, the coolness of it made a tiny shiver race up his spine as he ran his thumb over the eye and let it drop to hang around the silver chain once more. With the same hand he slowly reached up to glide his fingertips along his cheek once more and stepped closer. �You always did like puzzles and games� and you still have you mother� eyes��

In the puzzle Yami growled deep in his throat. He did not like this man called Sasaki, also known as Yugi�s father one little bit. When his hand held the puzzle he felt something very peculiar. It was as if this man wasn�t all there. Or as Tristen would probably say, �the lights are on but no body�s home.� A sense of dread washed over his for that brief moment when the door to his soul room vanish that he automatically thought that he had managed to take the puzzle apart but no; he just merely covered the eye. Before he could sigh in relief at seeing his door again he felt him touching his little one.

Sure their friends would sometimes touch Yugi but it was either a hug or just a friendly gesture or teasing manner. No this was so much different. Carefully he slipped out of his room and looked through his hikari�s eyes, feeling everything Yugi felt but stayed quiet. Now he was able to have a good look at the one called Sasaki.

He was a very tall man of 6� 6� with a slender build. He had dark skin that told him he spent his time in the sunlight but this one seemed more adjusted to the darkness. He had shaggy dark colored hair that reflected highlights of very dark blue and blue-green eyes. He wore a pair of tough, leather boots, black jeans that seemed just a bit faded, a shirt with the picture of a forest in winter bearing golden, wolf-like eyes, and a leather jacket over that. This man just did not seem the type to have sired his innocent light.

man man looked at him for a long time, swearing to himself he saw a sudden change in the boy�s eyes but it vanished almost as abruptly. It felt like something was studying him and didn�t like him. Letting his hand drop they continued the walk in silence for a while before they realized that they were now in the downtown district. Smiling some he looked down at him and clamped his hand on his slender shoulder. �How about we catch a bite to eat then a movie? My treat.�

�You really don�t have to da-I mean Sasaki-I mean-!�

�Hey calm down. You can call me Saki if you want but I would feel honored if you called me dad. Even though I really don�t deserve that title��

�It�s not that! Just� well it just feels weird if I call you that. Can I have some time to think about it?�

�Sure. C�mon, I know this great place that serves some great sushi styled crab.�

�Are you sure?�

�Have you ever tried it?�

�Well no��

�Then you don�t know what you�re missing. Trust me.� Yugi could only nod and they continued walking, talking and having a good time he could feel himself slowly warming up to the older man but Yami was still in the back.

�Raw fish? Yueck!�
Lion�s Den was a great restaurant that served a variety of oriental dishes with seafood specials and had a comfortable atmosphere to it. It was spacious with some of the booths surrounded by screens so it could be private meeting of sorts. Once in Sasaki orders one of the private booths just for the two of them and now they were eating a bit of nearly everything off the menu. The older man looked quite comfortable with it all and poor Yugi could only sit there, looking at the food with large eyes.

�I don�t think I�ll be able to finish all this!! It�s it a bit expensive?�

�Hey no worries, I got this alright?� he smiled and shrugged his jacket off to reveal that the shirt was sleeveless, showing off thickly muscled arms. Peering a bit he noticed a tattoo on his shoulder that seemed to spread to the back and then another one peeking from a leather band he wore on his wrist. �What�s that?�

�This? Oh just a tattoo I got while I was a foolish teenager. You see, I was maybe a year older than you are now, back before I meet your mother. My friends and I had just gotten drunk and we had the stupid notion to go and get a tattoo to represent our nicknames. Well mine was the Egyptian god, Anubis. Here take a closer look.� He pulled the shirt back to show him better. On the shoulder was a bust image of a man with the head of an animal, a cross between a fox and wolf, with narrowed eyes and name written in small hieroglyphics underneath. It was colored black with some golden yellow accents here and there. Yugi reached out to lightly trace it, not noticing the way Sasaki seemed to shiver at his touch before he pulled back.

�What�s the one on your wrist?� he asked, getting quite curious as and took a bite off his plate.

�Can�t remember where I got it from but it�s the picture of a pyramid with an eye and two falcons on either side wearing crowns�� but he trailed off when his son began to hit his chest, looking as if he was choking. �Damnit!!� Wrapping his arm around the front of his shoulder he gave him a few hard pats on the back before giving him some of his drink to try and swallow. Yugi just took it gratefully then nearly choked once more as the liquid burned his throat on the way down. Coughing a bit he waved his hands, indicating he was alright and didn�t need another slap on e back.

�W-What is that stuff??� he managed to wheeze out, sending a feeling of slight anger at Yami for scaring him when he yelled something foreign which in turn made him swallowed his food too soon.

�Sake. You sure you�re alright? Want some water or anything?� he asked with concern, holding him up as if afraid he would fall over or something.

�I�m fine, really. Just I, um I ate too fast,� he quickly said and gave him a smile. �I�ll be fine.�

�� If you say so. Slow down okay?� reaching out he almost touched his face but ruffled his hair instead, managing to get a laugh out of him.

Yugi nodded to him and continued eating as he scolded his darker half. /Next time, give me a warning before you yell! What�s the matter?/

//Something he said. Gomen, I didn�t mean to startle you,// Yami apologized.

/It�s alright but do you want to talk about it?/

//� Another time. I don�t feel very �comfortable� around that man.//

The young boy blinked a few times before passing the soy sauce to Sasaki before continuing. /Yami� I haven�t seen my dad for a majority of my life and I feel a bit uncomfortable but at least I�m trying to make an effort. You�ve never meet him before so please� give him a chance./

He wanted to argue that Surgokou didn�t seem the least bit happy to see him and was even more upset when they left but he didn�t want to bring it up. He could feel that his light needed--wanted a father figure. Sighing he agreed and was rewarded with a sense of relief and happiness. //The things I do for you, my aibou.//

As the evening progressed Sasaki let Yugi taste some more of his sake and together they managed to finish most of the food and the rest had been placed in take out bags. Even though they had finished about 4 bottles of sake Sasaki was still alright and acted as if nothing was wrong but Yugi was stumbling a bit, looking like he was ready to fall on his feet he had to lean heavily against his dad time to time or else he�s sit on the sidewalk and not get up.

�Maybe I should take you home now.�

�But I thought�. Were gonna see a movie?� he asked slowly, being very careful not to get his word slurred together and smiled at him, his violet eyes looking droopy and yet so damn innocent. �Pwease daddy?�

The older man tense at the word but slowly nodded his head. �Anything for you� my son.� So he half carried, half dragged him to the theater where they got two tickets to see Triple X, a great action movie with lots of suspense. They didn�t get anything to eat except a large popcorn and soda to share between them that soon it was all finished. Time to time Sasaki would looked at his son but he was either too enthralled with the movie or too drunk to notice as he watched the movie also. He didn�t look back until he felt a weight on his shoulder and looked down. Yugi had fallen asleep with his head on his shoulder, lips slightly parted, and looking so peaceful. He couldn�t help but smile as he carefully picked up the young man in his arms and slowly made his way out, glad that they had decided to sit in the back and that the theater wasn�t very crowded. By the time they got out it was already dark and he knew that Surgokou would be very worried about his grandson that he deiced to take him home.

Yami jerked from his light sleep when he felt Yugi�s body shift. Carefully he stepped from his room and noticed that Yugi�s soul room door was cracked open a bit. Looking in he found his light curled up on the bed, sleeping peacefully while hugging one of his few toys he kept to his chest tightly. He smiled and left him alone but knew that the host body was 'unoccupied' for the time being. He wanted to take control but didn�t, knowing that the physical changes would bring too much notice and he didn�t want that man to find out anything about him. So he left both doors to the soul rooms open just in case and waited.

Needless to say when Sasaki came home Surgokou would have yelled at him for being irresponsible but he didn�t want to wake up his grandson. Against his better judgment he told him where his room was and watched as he climbed the stairs in the back. �Why have you really come back, Sasaki?� the old man asked quietly, knowing it was not just to see Yugi again. He received no answer.

Pushing the door open with his foot he noticed that the room was simple with the bed pushed into the far left corner, desk next to it just under the window and closet on the other side of the room. Using the light of the moon outside he silently closed the door behind him and made his way over to the bed, turning the covers down and sat his son down. Carefully so not to wake him he first removed the jacket and hung it on the chair and then unbutton the white shirt, pausing when he saw that he wore a sleeveless back one underneath. Kneeling next to him he carefully slipped the puzzle from around his neck and laid him back. Removing his shoes he pulled the blanket up to his neck and looked at him for a long time. His son had grown up the last time he saw him but he still regained that innocence that his mother always used to have, even what he did-

�No!! Don�t think about the past, it�ll just hurt more,� he thought to himself, tearing his gaze away as his hands unconsciously closed around the puzzle tightly. A kind of dark light issued from his hands and tried to engulf the golden pyramid but a fierce light fought it back just for a split second. Blinking he looked at the object and rested it on the desk before a burning sensation on his right palm forced a hiss out. Slowly, he brought his hand up to his face and narrowed his eyes at the mark.

There, burned into the flesh of his palm was a large circle nearly covering the entire palm with the front profile of a wolf staring out at him. The inside of the circle was painted black with the eyes of the wolf a blood red. �Damnit,� he cursed as he closed his hand tightly and looked at his son. Leaning over he kissed his brow and ran his fingertips along the smooth cheek. �Don�t let the darkness take you, my son� like it has done with he he whispered to him softly before making his way out. Had he stayed a while longer he would have noticed as the pyramid was glowing once more fiercely and the image of a man that looked like an exact copy of Yugi ared red except he was transparent, like a ghost.

Both were similar in everyway except that he was taller, his posture indicating he had much confidence and self esteem in himself and his abilities. His eyes were sharp and the color of deep crimson, more gold through his hair and he did not look happy. He stared at the door for a bit longer, almost daring that man to come back in but after a while his guard position relaxed and he sat on the edge of the bed.

� �Don�t let the darkness surround you, my son� like it has done with me��? What did he mean by that?� he asked himself and reached out to try and brush away his charge�s bangs from his face. He sighed almost sadly when his fingers passed through but drew back when Yugi stirred and cracked a violet eye open.

�Yami�?� he asked softly.

�It�s me Yugi. Why don�t you go back to sleep? You had a long day.�

�Hmm �kay� can you stay wift me?�

�I�m always with you��

�I no but� I feel safer wifh you around� that no one get me� Please?� For a moment a park of fear came to his eyes as if the spirit would leave and he would be alone with no one to love him. But there was almost something else, an old fear that was threatening to come out and steal the very innocence he held. Yami was not going to let anyone take him away. Not now, not ever.

�I�ll protect you,� he said soothingly, smiling at him as he sat next to him before lying there on the side of the bed. Yugi scooted back a bit to give him room and looked at him, smiling softly before he moved closer and curled up against his chest. The spirit was flesh and blood like him but in a way he did feel solid. He was cool but his body began to relax he just felt so safe like this. Yami slowly wrapped his arms around his waist, leaning down to gently whisper in his ear, �Better?�

�MmmHmm. Arigato Yami,� he smiled sleepily as he settled down for sleep.

�Just get some sleep now, aibou. I�ll keep the darkness at bay.� The pharaoh really didn�t expect a reply so he closed his eyes and began to drift into a light sleep, arms still holding the young boy as tight as he could.
It was close to one in the morning by the time Sasaki made it back to the place he was staying at for the time being. It was a lavish condo located outside of town and surrounded by a high wire fence to keep intruders out, barbwire at the top, and hair-trigger sensors that were connected to the main alarm system. Stopping the car just outside the gate he pressed a button on the steering wheel, waiting as it slid open, then closed right after his car passed through. He drove up to the front door and made his way into the condo, still keeping the lights off. Immediately he when to his �lair�, a type of study he always kept lock when he wasn�t inside and was always dark with the windows painted black. Making sure that nothing was out of place he sat before a computer at his desk, typed a few commands, placed a head set complete with a mini-microphone on his head, adjusting the speakers, and sat back. Soon four vid-screens popped up on his screen, each one revealed a room with a large emblem of animals/symbols in the back wall and a shadow of the occupants before them. Although he knew what everyone looked like and their names they always communicated this way. One could never be too careful.

�So good of you to grace us, Koku,� one of the images said sarcastically.

He only growled as he snapped back, �Shove it, Hebi! I had family affairs to settle first.�

�So you went to see your son after all,� a voice spoke up smooth as silk. The silhouette of a person with wavy, long hair sat before an emblem of a stylish spider against black on the back wall. �You should introduce him to us sometime, Koku.�

He audible growled deep in his throat, hands tightening into tight fists as he backed out a warning, looking so much like his nickname. �I swear Kumo if I ever see you even looking at a picture of him I�ll rip out that other eye of yours then shove it up your-!�

�I suggest you calm down. This is the time for business and not your pity arguments,� a deep, booming voice spoke up, in the background a image of a black helmet with seven silver swords pointing outward. Immediately all four men went silent and sat up straight in their seats; Sasaki growled silently but slowly obeyed. �Now, onto business. Any word on the items I want?

�Nothing over here, Master,� one man hissed softly, his emblem the profile of a cobra with the hood flared open and ready to strike. �I have searched every bit of Egypt but the last I heard Isis Istar took two of the items with her on some exhibit. She had came back to Cairo but word has it she gave the items to someone else.�

�Have you tried persuading her to tell us whom?�

�Yes Master but she is highly protected with guards and is a formidable opponent. We have even tried to kidnap her younger brother to be used but he has also been well guarded. Word has it they have gone into hiding for the time being but no one knows where.�

�Any indication of whom the items have been given to?�

�Unfortunately not.�

�What of the other man I sent you to look after?�

�I have the report Master,� the man with the smooth as silk voice spoke up as a rustle of papers was heard. �After his Duelist Kingdom, Maxamillion Pegasus supposedly dropped from the world of Duel Monsters entirely. It took a while but after promoting a new game called Dungeon Dice Monsters I was able to find out where he was. He had retreated to his homeland in a private estate and was in a pit of depression. Unfortunately, it seemed that someone had stolen the item long before I had the chance. He didn�t give a name but he did say that �a darkness� took it back.�

�Interesting� what of the other items?�

�Searching for as we speak but sources tell us that they are relatively close to one another,� another man spoke up, sound relatively young and he looked younger than the other men but he was quiet capable of standing on his own two feet. �We are not sure who is currently holding the Millennium Items but weacheach passing day we come closer to finding out who.�

�Very well, Oni. You, Hebi and Kumo will continue the investigation and keep an eye on your intended targets.� There was a moment of silence before the Master spoke up once more, jarring the fourth member of his most loyal band out of his thoughts. �You have been very quiet, Koku. Quite unlike you.�

�It�s nothing, Master. I just have a lot on my mind right now��

�About your son, I take it.�

�� Yes.�

�To each their own Koku but do not let it interfere with the matter at hand.� With that the window of their Master went static before it was closed. One by one the other windows closed and the video link was closed. Sasaki slowly removed the headset and took a moment to rub his tired eyes. Again he wondered just why the hell he had gotten into this but he pushed it aside instead of accepting the answer. Using his mouse he clicked on a folder located on the desktop and typed in a password. Several articles opened up on his screen, each one connected together by the fact that they repeatedly talked about seven items and strange occurrences that had been happening because of them. The articles dated back to several years ago to today. He looked them over before sighing and closed all the files. Pulling out the drawer to his desk he reached in for a slightly worn file and opened it up to reveal photographs and notes from his other co-workers. He kept flipping through the items until he produced a sketchy drawing of a large sarcophagus, or kind of Egyptian coffin with several indents made. The indents were empty but they held the impression that something was once embedded in the solid marble. His sight focused on the indented that looked like a small pyramid pointing downwards and grief began to fill his entire body.

�Oh all things why� why is he being dragged into my mess?� he asked himself as he dropped the papers, not caring as they scattered on the floor and buried his hands in his hair. Gripping his head tightly he closed his eyes, ignoring everything around him, even as a another drawing of the seven millennium items was revealed in the stack of papers.
Morning seemed to come all too soon for Yugi Motou as he tried desperately to hide under his bed covers, away from the piercing light that filtered through his window and the painful headache. The moment he woke up he quickly dashed to the restroom and lost all that he had eaten last night. Now he was back in bed, curled up in a tight ball and counting bouncing Kuribohs as he tried to get some ore sleep.

�Yugi its time to wake up!!� Grandpa called from the foot of the stairs once more, the smell of breakfast cooking wafted up trough his open door but instead of making him hungry his stomach lurched at the idea of food almost violently.

�Grandpa I�m too sick!� he yelled back now and regretted it as his head fairly exploded with pain. Groaning he shifted his body and pulled the pillow over his head. �I do not want to go to school today��

//Now you know what a hangover is,// a warm voice chuckled into his mind but he growled and wrapped his arms around his abused head.

/Not so loud!/ he winced at the level of his own mind voice and spoke I a soft whisper. /I am never drinking. Never ever./

//You never know what the future holds, even with the Millennium Necklace.//

/� Yami, could you do me a big favor?/

//Anything aibou.//

/SHUT UP!!/ And with that he slammed the door to his soul room shut and huddled under the blankets once more, sighing deeply. Yami was taken back at the tone used but knew that he should have let him try to sleep this hangover off. Sighing he concentrated and found himself outside the puzzle, looking down at his other half. He couldn�t see much as the soft blue blankets had been pulled over his head so all he cold see what a lump that he presumed was the young teenager. Reaching out his hand passed through but the effect made the young boy jerked. It took a moment but the blanket was slowly pushed down and slightly red-rimmed eyes glared up at him.

�Can I please get five more minutes of sleep?� he said rather tensely, trying very hard not to yawn and just laid on his bed limply.

�You have to get ready for school now get up.� Reaching out he tried to grab his hand but it was no us. Unless he wore the puzzle he could not physically touch him.

�� I can�t get up,� he said softly and tried to prove it as he struggled to just sit up in bed but so far could only roll until he hit the floor. �� Why can�t you go to school in my place?�

�Several reasons. One, people would notice the drastic change in our appearance. Two, I don�t even know what�s going on in your classes. Three, I doubt your grandfather would approve. Four, we still share the same body and I would have a hard time controlling your drunken state. Five-�

�Alright alright! You win�� Yugi surrendered and reaching up he fumbled with the edge of his desk and dragged his aching body off the floor and made a slightly staggered line to the bathroom once again. Yami just smiled and sat on the bed, letting his thoughts drift to Sasaki once more.

Just what was it about that man that rubbed him the wrong way? Maybe it was the fact that he just did not seem to be the father-type, especially not his hikari�s father but then again� and then the mention of the tattoo. He had rememd itd it that in his time it was of great importance should one bear it but why him? And how in the name of Ra did he get the name Anubis? Things were just becoming increasingly confusing. Sighing he laid back o the bed and rested his hands behind his head, staring up at the ceiling. Ten minutes later he heard the water stop running then the sound oftstetsteps coming towards the room. When he looked up he immediately wished he hadn�t.

Yugi just closed the door to his room and was busily toweling his hair dry. Another towel was wrapped around his slender waist, showing his lean and perfect figure with creamy skin and long limbs. Slender muscles graced his form, showing him to be no weakling but he was not exactly a body builder either. Sighing he hung the towel on the back of the chair and opened the door to his closet, grabbing a clean uniform out.

�Ra he I just so perfect�� was all he could think to say and images came to mind. Thankfully he had learned how to shield private thoughts fro his aibou and in turn taught him. True they shared nearly everything together there were just some things that one needed to keep to oneself. This was one of them. �When did I start feeling like this?� he asked himself quietly but even then, he wasn�t sure. All he did know was that he loved him enough to risk his life for him.

Yugi was oblivious to what his yami was thinking as he picked his clo out out and went to his dresser, pulling out a clean pair of boxers and socks but just before he let the towel drop he slowly looked over his shoulder a the spirit who was laying on his bed. �Um Yami? Could you um��

�Hmm? Oh right!� Flashing a small smile at him, he obediently looked the other way, looking at the wall and closed his eyes. He heard the young one sigh then the soft rustle of clothes. He had learned a while back that in the beginning, Yugi was fiercely body shy and it was proven once when he made the mistake of appearing in his room while he was changing. The next thing he knew the young boy had closed himself in the closet and changed in there. It still made him laugh but Yugi didn�t find it the least bit funny. Now that he grew up a bit, he wasn�t as shy but he didn�t like standing in the nude with anyone in the same room. The older boys picked on him whenever they had to shower after gym or sports but lucky for him Joey andstensten were there for him.

�Okay you can look now.� Slowly he sat up and looked at the one who solved the puzzle, nodding to him as he finished buttoning his white shirt and slipped the jacket on top. Yugi ran his hands through his hair a few times before placing the leather collar around his neck then slipped the silver chain bearing the Millennium Puzzle around his neck as well.

�Yugi hurry up and come eat or you�ll be late for school!!� Surgokou yelled once more.

�Coming grandpa!!� he called back but winced as he held his head.

�Any better?� Yami asked soothingly as he got up and covered his hand with his own.

�Some. I�ll just some medicine after school,� he said with a smile then on impulse gave the dark spirit a tight hug. As long as he wore the puzzle he could, in a way, physically touch him. He still looked like a ghost or something but it was an improvement.

Yami started but returned the gestured and nodded to him. Closing his eyes his form glowed a bright gold color before it slowly faded away. The puzzle glowed in reaction then died out which could only mean that the spirit was in the puzzle now. The young man smiled and grabbed his books raced down the stairs and into the dining room. His grandfather didn�t bother to ask about last night nor about Sasaki, as far as he knew the man was not a part of the family anymore, end of story. He just didn�t trust him. He cautioned his grandson to slow down but he countered that by saying he needed to hurry up and meet the others. Before he knew it he was racing out the door while trying to get his shoes on. The old man couldn�t help but smile as he picked up the breakfast plates and got ready to open the store.
By lunchtime Yugi�s hangover headache had gotten just a bit better but he had a hard time concentrating on the lectures and notes. Mthanthan once his teachers asked if he wanted to go to the school nurse but he declined. Now it was lunchtime and in his haste he had forgotten his lunch money at home.

�Then again�� he thought as he swallowed the lump in his throat as his stomach protested loudly about the mention of food. Sighing he rested his head on the desk and sighed.

/Something wrong, aibou?/ Yami asked softly.

//I�m bored.//

/Why don�t you go see your friends?/

//Joey and Tristen have clean up duty in the cafeteria for the food fight; Tea is in the library studying for her History exam next period; Bakura is probably in the library reading; and I have no idea where Seto is. besides, I doubt he wants to be bothered.//

/Then just go outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. It should help with your headache./

//� You're right. It�s better than complaining about being bored for the next hour.//

/Since I have to listen to it./ He mentally threw the spirit a raspberry and got up from his seat. Tucking his back under his desk he pocketed his Duel Monster cards and headed outside.

Yami was right, today was a perfect reason to be outside. The sun was shining and the sky was a bright blue color. He watched for a moment as clouds lazily drifted by and he wished he was a cloud but sighed and just decided to walk around a bit. Some of the older boys were playing on the basketball court while the girls cheered from the sidelines excitedly he had to quickly leave. All the loud noise was just making his hche che worse so he began to walk further down. His high school also had a lovely forest in the back of it that some of sci science teachers used to take the classes on nature walks on nice days such as this. The students weren�t allowed in there during the hours so he just strolled by but he paused and looked into the trees. He could have sworn he saw something or someone� Was it his imagination? �Yugi!!� Running towards him was a teenage boy of his age only slightly taller by a couple of inches. He stood out from the other students not only because he wasn�t wearing the traditional school uniform but his hair was a bleached blonde from being out in the sun for most his life that in turn blended in quite nicely with his dark tan. Pale, lavender colored eyes seemed to hold an old, haunted look to them and he wore a sleeveless shirt of dusky lavender with black pants

�Malik, hi!! What are you doing here?� he said happily, glad to see one of his old friends. �I thought you and Isis had returned to Egypt?�

�We did but Isisted ted to come back. Shadi came by for a visit one day and he said that the Balance is being tipped.�

�What does he mean by that?�

�I have no idea but you know Isis. The moment she heard that she booked us on a flight back here to Domino. I�m suppose to start school today but they won�t have my uniform ready until tomorrow.�

�Oh well that�s great! The others will be glad to see you too.� After the entire incident with the vengeful spirit of the Millennium Rod the group had slowly accepted the Egyptian boy into their little group. Yugi had been the first to call him a friend followed by Bakura because they knew that none of this had been entirely his fault. He then snapped his fingers. �Hey we should go find Bakura and tell him you�re here!�

�I don�t know how long we�ll be staying for�� he said with a hint of sadness.

�Hey you�re here now and that�s all that matters-� He paused once more and looked at he trees. There was that feeling again.

Malik looked at the shorter boy then at he trees. He could feel something like a pair of eyes studying them that immediately his hand went for the Rod that he always carried with him. Since he learned to tap into the dark magic he had learned how to keep it hidden in plain sight but only holders of the other Millennium Items could see it. Whatever watcwatching them seemed a bit taken back and slowly the sensation vanished. Malik never released his grip.

�I think we better go back inside Yugi,� he said in a low voice, reaching up to gently give his shoulder a shake. The slight movement broke him out of his trance as he just nodded and together the two of them headed back to the building.

They had five minutes before lunch was over and had run into Bakura on the way back to the classroom. The three of them were laughing at some joke but the laughter died when Yugi saw who was sitting at his desk, drumming his fingers on the desktop.

�Sasaki?� Immediately Bakura became quiet but Malik slowly narrowed his eyes.

�Hey Yugi. I tried to call but Surgokou said you had left for school,� he smiled and slowly got up, making his way to them. �These must be your friends you told me about.�

�Hai this is Bakura and Malik. Guys this is um, he�s my dad,� he said with a weak smile at best.

The other man half smiled and shrugged his shoulders. �Not that I deserve to be called that nice to meet you.� He extended his hand to them but Malik just gave him a curt nod of the head while Bakura tentively reached out to shake.

�Please to meet you sir,� he said politely but then he flinched as he felt something very hard rubbing against the palm of his hand. For a split moment, he felt a surge of very dark energy try to engulf him but he Millennium Ring hidden under his shirt glowed brightly and the other man let go as if he had been burned.

�Hmm static I guess,� was all he said as he flexed his hand, the burn mark in his palm felt all tingly. �Anyway Yugi I�m here to pick you up.�

�Pick me up? For what?�

�Well after I woke up this morning I knew that you wouldn�t be in any condition for school. Surgokou wouldn�t stop yelling for an hour but he said the decision to come home was up to you,� he explained and shoved his hand in his pocket.

Yugi thought about it for a minute but Yami didn�t want him to be alone with this man. He still didn�t trust him and he had a nagging feeling that the other spirits of the Ring and Rod didn�t as well but why was the bearer of the Rod being so cold to him? He acted as if he knew him but how? When? Where?

�If it�s all the same I�ll like to finish the rest of my classes. My headache is almost gone.�

�� You always were stubborn. I guess you got that from me. Well then I really wanted to ask you something and I really need your honest opinion about it.� He paused for a moement, looking ahte groundbefore looking up and rested his hand on his son�s shoulder. �Yugi� I know I haven�t been the ebst father in the world but I want to amek it up to you. I want you to come live with me again.� The young boy just started at him with wide eyes as did Malik and Bakura. Yami was surprised as he treid to work his jaw but no words were coming out. His aibou wouldn�t accept such an offer! Would he?

�Where would you live? Domino or somewhere else� Malik asked, ignoring the shocked gaze of both students as he stared at the older man. �Yes� Yes I�m positive he�s the one!� he thought to himself.

�I have a place of my own but it gets lonely with no one to share it with. Look I have to run but I�ll call you tonight. Later.� He reached out to hug his son but instead ruffled his hair and made his way out, the heels of his boots made soft clicking noises as he headed down the hall. Once he out of earshot Yugi turned on his friend with hurt, violet orbs.

�Malik why were you so rude to him? He was only being nice!�

�Is that guy really your father?�

�Of course he is!�

�Then how come you never mentioned him?�

�� Because he�s been out of town on business and he just came back yesterday. Why are you avoiding my questions!?�

�Guys wait! Please don�t fight!� The young English boy had placed himself between his two friends, holding them apart and stole glances at each of them before he stepped back. �We can all talk about this after class at the Game Shop, alright?�

�Fine.� Yugi sighed and plopped down at his desk and got his books out. Bakura was about do to do the same but stopped when Malik took a gentle hold of his arm.

�Bakura, after school I need you to get everyone who knows about the Millennium items to meet me later at the hotel downtown. I�ll explain later just please� this is very important but Yugi can�t know,� he said softly.

�What are you hiding?� the pale youth asked, growing increasingly worried.

�I�ll explain just please� it�s urgent.�

�� Alright.�

He smiled his thanks and they all went to their desks. After he was introduced to the class he didn�t bother to pay attention to the lecture going on. His thoughts kept drift back to the man Yugi called Sasaki. Although he didn�t know the man he just had to be the one. He was the one of two that had tried to kidnap him in Cairo just a few weeks ago but the only thing this man was lacking was a cross-shaped scar under one eye. Still� he couldn�t help but wonder.

�What have we gotten ourselves into this time?� he thought silently but received no answer.
