Yamis pov
This morning is frantic and I don't remember coming back in the living room and laying down. Everyone is scrounging for food and coffee Joey and Tristan were fighting over the remote Duke smaked Joey over the head with his duel disk to get him to 'shut his face' and I had a blistering headache from it all. I laughed to myself though as I thought, this chaos this is what I missed. I went up behind Teá and wrapped my arms around her waist kissing her cheek, "good morning beautiful, how'd you sleep?"
She reached behind her wrapping her arms around my neck, "good morning' I slept pretty good how about you?"
"Had better," I turned her around and smiled.
About that time her dad came down and Joey cleared his throat, "ok so last night me and the boys were talking and decided we should take today to come up with a plan" Nathan went to the table and sat down gesturing us to do the same, "any thoughts?"
Serenity started talking, "last night the girls and I were talking too and we think it wouldn't be a good idea to take Bakura in fact it would probably be best to wait for another attack and stop him. No matter what if this is apart of his plan or not, it wouldn't be smart mix up the game."
"That's my thoughts exactly ok last night I couldn't sleep and I got to thinking things aren't adding up here maybe he wants us to strike back. Yesterday I made a fatal mistake that he didn't use to his advantage I could have lost it all. He wants us to take action and he wants us to strike back. I think for now atleast we lay low he's going to have to regroup after this last duel giving us the time we need."
Everyone gets lost in conversation while I stay to myself I hear some of the conversation. After I say my piece Teá speaks, "Yami's right it wouldn't be the best thing right now he needs time this is his revenge he has things mapped out and if we do strike back he'll counter and move on. Maybe Joey was right and if we do make him duel us then we lose and he can seperate us one by one." I get lost in thought zoning out. This isn't right there has to be more to what's happening than this.
I tribute my monsters and summon your swift Gaia. This was a few moves before I played Final Destiny leaving us defenseless and ending the duel. He summoned Gernia leaving me with 100 life points left. I began to sweat and then I drew King's Knight letting me summon Jack's Knight ending the duel and saving Rebecca Nathan and Kristi.
"Earth to Yami" I hear Joey and snap out of it.
Nathan is looking around and his eyes landed on me, "Yami you beat Bakura several times before not just in a duel but in a shadow game in Egypt."
I nod, "yes but what does that have to do with anything?" I was confused could that happen twice? Where was he going with this?
"Do you think you can do it again?" I hear what he was saying but I didn't get it. What is he asking me?
"I don't know that would mean putting everything and everyone's life on the line. With all do respect sir I can't not again not to them. He made them pawns of a twisted game to rewrite history winner takes all. That lead to me fulfilling my destiny so I can move on but if I lose than it would be in vain." Teá clasp her hand on my shoulder looking like she was going to add on and I hug her to keep her from doing just that.
"But Yami maybe that's what its leading up to. Him having another shadow game to make up for the last one." Joey had a point my head was spinning and sleep taunted me there was too much to process at once and the duel yesterday playing over and over in my head didn't help I needed to get away for a moment. I stand up and ask to be excused walking outside for fresh air.
The second the cool afternoon breeze hits my mind stops spinning. I don't get why this was happening maybe some side effect if some sort. I can't process anything that is happening. "Yami are you ok?" Everyone walks out and I slide down the side of the house.
"Yeah I'm fine guys. Just needed a moment to process this it's like since I won that last duel something's been off. I can't really describe it its just unsettling." I stand up and feel a little bit normal again my head stops spinning but I lay down on the couch anyways.
"Yami go in my room and lay down it's quieter and the beds comfy." I smile and get up to go to her room.
Atem help I don't get what's going on here.
What is it Yami?
I feel light headed and I am having a hard time processing things since that duel.
You're human now Yami shadow games have that effect on you now especially drawn out ones like that. Just rest and you will be fine.
Thanks Atem I'm going to sleep some.
Good night Yami.
After my little talk with Atem Teá comes in. "You ok, Mi Rey?" I nod and pull her into my arms and I close my eyes not going to sleep just enjoying the silence and the feeling of the women I love.
I open my eyes and she's laying there with a smile so sweet. "Teá," she pops up and I grin, "I love you."
"I love you too Yami." She lays back down as we both fall asleep.

We have no time to lose we needed a plan now. "Guys I have an idea I didn't want to do this I knew how Yami and Teá would react Joey too but you know what it's the best I can come up with. I say we lay low and instead of Yami dueling Bakura I go up as a pawn throw the duel and see if this is a test. If it is I need you and I lose I need you guys to get me back no matter what."
"Das retarded Yuge why would you throw the duel just to see if it's a test I mean come on pal think. If it is and Yami duels him to get you back and he gets depressed and what not then we're screwed."
"Yeah Yugi Joeys right. It's not the best thing to do."
"But Rebecca Joey it's the best we got laying low isn't going to help. Another shadow game like the last one puts too much at stake I thought the point of all of this was to take action not sit around like a bunch of helpless children waiting for something to happen."
"I agree with Yugi guys we need to do something." I look at Tristan who is the last person I thought would side with me.
"Me too" also Nathan wow ok.
"So is it settled?" I look around and Joey has his arms crossed, "Joey?"
"Yeah sure what ever."
After everyone splits off I pull Joey back, "hey look I'm sorry but right now this seems like the only way ok. Just trust I know what I'm doing. Joey if things go south I need you to back me up. I'm throwing the duel rather you like it or not but what happens is up to you guys."
"Yugi you know what Yamis going to say I'm going to duel Bakura I'll throw it."
"No Joey this fight is my own I mean it this time. I'm tired of you getting involved. Anyways next it probably will be me he comes for." Joey hugs me and catches me off guard.
"Yuge your my best buddy"
"I know Joey."

A few hours later I wake up and she's still by my side with her back to me and I hear a sniffle. "Teá are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine it's just I don't like this you know. I know you're back and I'm happy but now Bakura is too and we're putting our lives on the line all over again." She rolls over to face me, "I don't want to worry about anything anymore Yami I want it all to end."
"I do too Teá trust me. This is all my fault and it's not fair to you guys but me going off isn't going to solve anything. Time is all we have nothing is certain but right now." I kiss her and she smiles again.
"I missed you Yami I missed spending time with you."
"I missed you too." I kiss her again this time holding it wrapping her tighter in my arms. This time she breaks it and I smile. Yeah I truly love her.
"So hey how is Atem doing?"
"I'm not sure we talked before you came in here because I didn't know what was happening and that was it."
She props up on one arm, "I wanna see him honestly."
"Well I mean you got me isn't that good enough," she laughs and nods.
"But you and him are like you and Yugi."
"What about Yugi?" I sit up and flop down as I see my little doppelganger at the door way.
"I was telling Yami him and Atem are like you and Yami. Except you know theyre the same people."
We all laugh and Yugi gets serious, "so while you two were in here we figured out what we are going to do."
"Yeah what is that shrimp?" His face turns red and I throw a pillow at him.
"Ok first of all not cool tall person second of all we're laying low waiting for him to strike again then I'm dueling him basically throwing it as a test."
I sit up infuriated by what i just heard. "Why you Yugi? You're one of the most important people in my if not the most if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be sitting here I would still be in the millennium puzzle."
"Because Yami I volunteered."
"You lose and get thrown in the shadows just to see if it's a test thats idiotic. Who even came up with this plan."
"Me Yami I did"
Ok as of right now I'm wide awake at 1 in the morning typing out a chapter for you guys I dont know how good it is but I'll fix it when I get done with the book. But anyways they have a plan what now and how is Yami going to react to knowing this was his idea? Also spoiler Atem comes back😀
