Souldier

Me: hits I'm back again with another chapter.

Kryssie: Its about time.

Me: Hey, don't start its your fault that I couldn't update earlier.

Kryssie: That can't be blamed all on me. After all that kid is partially to blame.

Me: He can't help it since he doesn't know any better unlike someone I know.

Kryssie: Alright alright. Mizuki doesn't own yugioh or any of its characters and doesn't make any money from this story.

Me: just a side note before we begin if any of you have any questions about anything don't hesitate to ask and all will be explained. Now on with the story and please review.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akefia put Ryou down before stepping forward. "Then what *is* the problem!?" The boy cowers into Atem's look-a-like; who glares at Akefia. "The problem is that we're not from here and your father is keeping us here!" Atem blinks in confusion. "That isn't possible. He's been dead for quite some time." The three blink before the boy looks to the floor close to tears. "But, if he's dead that means we can't go home." "Shhh, we'll find some way to get back home. We'll just have to figure out another way." "Atem, I think that the boy could be the young demonic prince that went missing before your father passed away." Seto whispers. Atem blinks before smiling. "Which means that I just might be able to get them home." He whispers back before clearing his throat and standing up. The three look at him; cautious of what will happen. "If what you say is true and my father is responsible for you all being stuck here I just need to ask one question." "Which would be?" Ryou's look-a-like asks. "Well, its rather simple. A yes or no will do. Did my father kidnap you?" The three blink clearly suprised.

The boy looks back at the ground clearly upset. "Yes." Atem's look-a-like says. Atem flinched before sighing. 'I thought as much. Well, time to get them home and take the punishment that my father deserves.' He looks at Seto to see him nod sadly. "Alright, thank you. Now, its time to get you home." They all look at him. "You can really send us home?" Ryou's look-a-like asks. Atem nods. "Of course." He closes his eyes and summons his shadow magic to create a portal to the demonic realm. Opening his eyes again he sees them standing there in awe. "You did it! Now we can finally go home!" The boy says excitedly. Atem smiles and they all pass through. 'Good luck cousin.'

(Demonic realm)

"We're home!" The boy yells happily. The two look-a-likes smile; happy to see him smiling again. "Wow, the air is a bit thick here." Atem gasps out. They all look at him before nodding. "Yeah, it is. You get used to it after a while. Now, we should head to the palace. Grandpa must be so worried." The other two nod and all three bring their wings out. Atem's look-a-like and the boy have black leathery wings while Ryou's look-a-like has silver feathered wings.

Atem blinks before looking in awe at the surroundings. "You look surprised." Atem shakes his head. "Not surprised; in awe. Its beautiful here. The way it was described to me it was suppose to be a barren wasteland." "You don't care for your father do you?" The boy asks. Atem laughs humorlessly. "I'm trying to fix everything he's done but its proving deeper than I had ever thought possible." Atem says sadly. "Yugi, why don't we explain the situation to Solomon. I'm sure he could think of something." Atem's look-a-like whispers. "Good idea. Grandpa always knows what to do. Yugi whispers back. "Hey, Yami just gave me an idea but we need to get back to the palace and talk to my grandpa." Atem nods before being picked up bridal style by Yami before he jumps off the cliff and takes flight.

Atem gasps and clings to him at first before relaxing and watching the view. It truely was a beautiful sight with the endless towers of green trees and mountains of grass. Yami watches him with softened eyes before looking at Yugi to see the same soft look on his face. 'To bad we can't stay with him.' Yami thinks sadly; unaware that Yugi had heard it and was also sad. Soon the palace came into view and they flew faster.

They came to the palace gates and dropped to the ground in front of the guards. The guards jumped surprised before gasping. "Prince Yugi!!" Yugi smiles as they walk passed them into the palace. "Yugi, something's not right. They seemed surprised to see us." Yami whispers. "I noticed that which means that Atem's father wasn't alone in the kidnapping. Now we *must* speak to grandpa." They walk through the halls before standing before the throne room. Yugi turns to Atem; who looks at them calmly. 'The look of a diplomat.' Yugi thinks.. "Alright, now when we go in DONT SAY ANYTHING!" Yugi whispers loudly. Atem nods and they turn back to the door. Yugi takes a deep breath before slowly letting it out and opening the door and confidently walking through to see his grandfather in an argument with the head councilman.

Everyone stopped and looked at them. First in anger then surprise. "Yugi!" The older gentleman cried before running towards them. "Grandpa!" Yugi cried when he reached them. He was enveloped in a hug that could crush a mortal. "I thought you were dead! We hadn't heard anything that we started to give up hope. But, you're here and alive. Yami and Bakura, are you well? And who are you?" Yugi laughed at his grandfather's rushed speech. Yami and Bakura chuckled before Yami began talking. "Yes Solomon, we are fine and this is Atem Senin." Solomon blinks "Senin? Isn't that the man who......" Yami nods. "Yes. The man who *was* Pharaoh of Egypt and also the man who kidnapped Yugi."
