19- an old friend

After Yugi was one hundred percent better, Uriel left the same way that he appeared in. Shortly after that Professor Xavier, Storm, and Wolverine left. Caretaker handed back Yugi his puzzle as well as a fingerless glove for his left hand. Both the medallion of power as well as the mystic symbol were now branded on his hand.

"I hope that you plan to tell your grandfather now before it is too late Yugi-boy. Even without the wings, it is far to noticeable that you aren't human any more." Pegasus stated bluntly.

"Do you know which room he is in Pegasus?" Yugi asked. Pegasus nodded his head as Yugi grabbed his things leaving the hospital room.

*Yugi with the medallion of power branded on your hand, you will no longer have to rely on the mystic motorcycle for our transformations. I will help you control your blood hunger as much as I possibly can. But you are certain that you want to do this?* asked Atem mentally.

*I am certain Atem. It is the only thing that I have been certain about.* Yugi replied as they entered Yugi's grandfather's room. Solomon Moto packing up his belongings. Pegasus closed the door standing with his back against the door.

"Yugi is there something wrong? Who is this with you?" Solomon asked looking at Pegasus with a questioning eye.

"He is a friend. Grandpa there is something important that I need to tell you. You might want to sit down for this as it may come as a shock." Yugi replied. Solomon did as the teen told him as Yugi took a long deep breath letting it out slowly. Solomon looked at his grandson wondering what was so important that had his friend guarding the door. "Grandpa do you remember the day that I showed up at the hospital covered in blood when you discovered that Tea had been brought in critically injured?" Yugi asked as Solomon nodded his head yes. "Well that night my life had forever changed. Things have changed so much for me since that day that now, I am no longer human. With inside of me lives a powerful spirit of vengeance named Atem." Yugi stated before he transformed into Atem. The look of shock stretched across Solomon Moto's face as Atem transformed back into Yugi. "This person whom is with me has been helping me through this as he knows the most about who and what Atem is." stated Yugi as Pegasus nodded his head. Solomon sat there unmoved silent at what the teen had just told him. Yugi waited for his grandfather to say or do something. Finally Solomon Moto got up walking over towards Yugi slapping the teen hard across the face. Tears were in the old man's eyes. Yugi rubbed his red cheek a bit surprised by his grandfather's reaction.

"How long Yugi have you been hiding this from me? When were you planning to tell me? I want to know everything...no more lies." Solomon yelled as tears streaked down his face.

"Grandpa, I am still the same person that you took care of all this time regardless about what has changed. I have only been hiding the truth from you since that day. The reason to why I didn't tell you before is because..." Yugi stated trying to hold back his own tears.

"He wasn't allowed to. We had to get permission from the elders in order to tell you. Normally only those who ally themselves with Atem are permitted to know the truth, When Yugi felt that he could no longer keep the truth from you, he asked to speak to the elders. Be grateful that they allowed him to tell you." stated Pegasus bluntly.

*Caretaker watch your tongue. I will not allow you to speak to him in such a way. It is my own dam fault for waiting so long.* Atem hissed mentally. This shut up Pegasus quickly which almost caused Yugi to laugh.
