Evil Rises Again

Reunion & Confrontation

When Atem reappeared in his body he saw his friends had made a semi-circle around him. Joey then asked, "Pharaoh what the heck happened? What's going on is Yugi alright?" Atem looked at Yugi whose face was now peaceful and told the group Yugi's fine now." Tea sighed and said, "That's a relief." Atem was about to continue when, "SMACK" Atem stared in shock at Tea who had just slapped him across his face. "Tea what did you do that for?" Bakura asked in bewilderment. Tea then started shouting, "HOW COULD YOU LEAVE US AFTER FOUR YEARS OF US BEING TOGTHER? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE SUFFERED AFTER YOU LEFT? AND POOR YUGI HAS BEEN GRIEFSTRUK LONGER THAN THE REST OF AS SO MUCH WORSE FOR HIM THAT IT RESULTED IN HIM NEARLY STARVING HIMSELF TO DEATH! AND NOW YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO COMEBACK AFTER TEN YEARS!" Tea then ran with tears streaming down her face and hugged Atem before speaking again, "I'm just so glad your back." Tea then let go of him when Joey and Tristan both punched Atem saying simultaneously, "That's for leaving us." Atem could have seen the blows coming but decided to take for he said, "You all are right I did deserve that and I'm sooo sorry. I never wanted to leave you all in the first place but I had to seal away those millennium items. However I am deeply sorry I never knew my leaving could cause so much grief; otherwise I would have had a harder time leaving." "Well I understand perfectly well that you had to leave so I won't blame you but can you explain how you have come back to us, and what was wrong with Yugi. The way you knew Yugi was in trouble tells me you know a lot of what's going on." "Yes Pharaoh, please explain, oh and thank you for curing Yugi in the first place." Marik said. Atem looked straight at all of them and said, "Cure him? No, all I did was put him out of immediate danger. "So Yugi still isn't better?" Odeon asked. "I'm afraid not." Atem said before explain all that had happened at the spirit world. He also explained all that had happened in Yugi's mind room. He then continued saying, "I don't know how long the barrier will hold but, with Yugi so weak, it won't hold too long; our only hope is to wait for some new from the spirit council. "Why is it that whenever we hang around with Yugi we end up having to save the world? I mean I haven't seen him in ten years, and the only adventure I've had was getting Serenity and me lost while in Great Brittan. Next thing I know the day after hanging with him we need to save the world." Joey said sarcastically. "Pretty funny when you think about it." Tristan said. "There's nothing at all funny about it." Tea said. Atem watched his friends argue before saying, "I'm sorry my friends but traveling from the spirit world, battling Zorc, and explain things wore me out, you won't mind if I go rest?" "No, not at all, please go lie down, we'll look after Yugi." Bakura said reassuringly. "Yes, go rest my lord; we don't know when Zorc will break the barrier and you will need your strength to fight him." Odeon said. "Thank you my friends." Atem said as he got up and vanished inside the stone to his mind room. A bed materialized next to Yugi, and Atem went to sleep on it. Back in the hospital room Tea began to say, "I feel so sorry for Yugi. Why is it always him that has to suffer?" "I guess that's to be expected from two pharaohs," Ishizu said. "What do you mean two pharaohs? I know Pharaoh Atem but who's the second one?" Joey asked. "Baka, if you paid attention, Joey, you would have known that Yugi is the other Pharaoh," Tristan said looking at Joey as though he were stupid. "Tristan's right, Yugi is the modern day pharaoh, because he is a direct descendent of the ancient pharaohs of Egypt. I was curious so I looked up Yugi's family history so far back that Yugi doesn't know it." Marik said shyly. Just then they heard Yugi's bed rattle, and turned to see That Yugi was having a seizure and started to cough up blood.

Yugi- Hey where's Atem?

AmandatheFox- sulking somewhere, I never should have offered to let help me with the story. (hands yugi some papers) look at what he tried to make it into. I then told him he has no talent at all with writing stories and then kicked him out of my writing room.

Yugi- (giggling) It's not that bad..

AmandatheFox- are you kidding me, he wants to cure you by letting pink kittens lick you and then plans to defeat Zorc with a pair of magical pink bunny ears... gosh who knew he had such a feminine side.

Yugi- well the part where me and Tea went to dance at a ball was nice

AmandatheFox- Only you would... Read rate review my fans
