Souldier

Me: Another chapter. Figured I would get another one out before retiring for the night.

Kryssie: And before your son wakes up.

Me: Ha ha. Yeah and that. Anyways, this chapter should explain a little more about what's going on but as I said in the previous chapter; if you are confused on something don't hesitate to ask. All will be explained.

Kryssie: Now, on with our story. Mizuki doesn't own yugioh or any of its characters nor does she get any money for this story. Please review.

Solomon blinks before glaring at Atem. "So this is *your* fault!" Atem looks calmly at the other man even though inside he was freaking out. "No grandpa. It wasn't Atem's fault the way his father was and what he did. He even showed me a piece of his past. His father killed his mother and no one but mother knew why. She helped Atem leave the palace so his father wouldn't kill him." This news startled both Solomon and Atem. Solomon because no one knew what happened to his only daughter and Atem because that would mean the woman he thought was a slave was actually royalty.

'Oh RA!' Atem suddenly didn't feel to good and began to sway slightly. Yami seen this and reached out to steady him. As soon as Yami touched him Atem collapsed. Yami caught him just as he fell. "Oh my is he alright?" Solomon asks. Yugi watches in concern as Yami picked Atem up and left to take him to his room. "I hope so grandpa." "Prince Yugi! Welcome home." The head councilman says politely. Bakura growls real quick as to not alert anyone but Yugi as to the intentions of the man.

Yugi nods letting Bakura know he got the message. He smiles politely to the man. "Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me. I need to check on my guest." Yugi then leaves the room with Bakura on his heels. ~yami, did you take him to your room?~ {Yeah and you are not gonna believe this.} Yugi blinks before hurrying towards Yami's room. As soon as the door was open Yugi and Bakura gasp at the sight. The whole room was in such disarray that you couldn't tell that it was a clean fanatics room. They walk in, shut the door, and look around. "Yami?" "Don't worry Yugi. I'm fine though I don't think I can say the same for our friend here." "What do you mean?" Yugi asks confused. "Come in the bathroom. You'll find out exactly what I mean." Yugi and Bakura walk into the bathroom and gasp at the sight.

There Yami was sitting by the tub smoothing Atem's hair back and Atem covered in scratches. "What happened?" Yugi asks. "I'm not sure but when he came to he said he was burning up and then the next thing I know he's clawing at himself. I mean literally digging into his skin. I asked what was wrong and he said there was something making him itch. So I put him in here and he's been like this since. Don't even ask about my room. Its already driving me insane." Atem moans before opening his eyes and looking at them.

Yugi gasps and Atem flinched thinking himself in trouble or disgusting to look at. Yugi and Yami look at each other having heard this but it was only one way. They could hear him but he couldn't hear them. ~But then that would make him a demon.~ {No, I don't think he is a demon. I believe that he does have demon blood.} ~So that's why he's clawing at himself and saying he was burning up.~ {Yup. Its because he was. So apparently as a child he was given demonic blood; probably by lady Kaylie.}

Yugi nods. He kneels down by Atem and runs his fingers through his hair calming him. "Atem, I want you to answer a question for me alright?" Atem nods. "Did a woman called Kaylie give you any blood?" Atem nods slowly beginning to fall asleep ~That answers that question.~ Yami nods before picking Atem up and carrying him back to the bedroom. He lays him on the bed.

Atem groans and curls up on his side. "I'm gonna go talk to grandpa and see what he thinks of all this." Yami nods and strokes Atem's back. "Bakura, stay here with Yami. If anyone finds out about what happened I don't want Yami to be the only one protecting Atem. Should anything happen take him to our spot." Yugi whispers. He then leaves to talk to his grandfather.

As soon as he gets close to the throne room he hears his name being yelled before his grandfather yells some more. {Yugi, we are moving Atem to bakuras room so I can clean mine up.} ~Alright.~ Yugi walks into the throne room and the councilman glares at him. "I apologize for the intrusion grandpa but I was hoping to as you a question in private?" "Of course my boy. This meeting will continue when I get back." Solomon follows Yugi out and towards Bakura's room. "What is this about Yugi?" "I don't want to say here. Lets get to Bakura's room and ill explain everything." They walk in silence until they get to Bakura's room when yelling is heard.
