Millennium Power Smooching (Part 1)

Game Shop

Atem opened his eyes and then noticed the time. It was upside down. He turned himself around to get a better look but- He fell to the floor. Okay. Pain is a drawback in a body. Forgot that. He looked to his door. At least no one was there to see that. He stood back up. It was almost noon in nearly an hour. His body had needed rest.

He reached for the door, opened it and looked out towards Yuugi's room. Atem started to head to Yuugi's room. The door was still closed. He wasn't the only one who slept late. He knocked on the door. "Yuugi?" Hm. He was still sleeping hard. ///Atem: Food./// It was amazing how fast his body could go to waking up to craving food. Bodies were demanding. He was going to the kitchen but noticed Masika's door was open. They were up at least.

"I agree, he was terrible."

He could hear Masika through Anzu's door.

"Exactly. And? I mean. If you and Atem aren't with us-"

"Never assume anything, this could only last for a small time."

"I know." Anzu looked at the mirror. "That's what makes it hard. I used to hate the fact Yuugi acted like such a kid." She sighed. "Now? I love it. I love the way he is and I don't ever want Yuugi to become anyone else. He has a playful spirit that always makes me feel . . . but. If you do come back?" She traced a lonely heart in her mirror. "I hate this. He was fine without me but then this whole thing started. Now he knows how dangerous our time was together and so do I."

"Still, you were making out again last night. Until we have absolute certainty on what is going on, full out should be out of the question with this one," she warned her.

"This one is 'the one'." Anzu rubbed her forehead. "I told Jounouchi yes right before it all happened. I wanted to stay in Japan, and work out something else. I wanted to stay with Yuugi." She tried to distract herself. Maybe Satiah would like some makeup? "Do you want some makeup?"

"Why?" Satiah asked.

"Sometimes it makes you feel nicer to look pretty." Even though that didn't make a difference with Yuugi. Her clothes were actually not in the best shape and Yuugi had helped her with quite a few garments. "Do you want some lipstick? Oh, we need to find you some clothes. Mine will fit, but I know it's not what you prefer. Maybe I have something?" She looked through her wardrobe. Masika had a more chilled personality as a whole. She could pretend to be several different ways, but more often than not, she didn't like to stand out. Let's see? "I never imagined I'd be trying to find you something to wear." What could she wear? "Do you see anything you like?"

"I don't have much preference, Anzu. Do we have crackers? I am getting hungry. I've eaten crackers, shrimp and hot food. I prefer the crackers and shrimp so far."

"Well, we are going to expand on that," Anzu smiled at her. "I'll fix you a late breakfast. Yuugi and Atem should eventually be getting up." The best outfit she had for her? A cerulean blue blouse with a long black skirt. Still not something she could see Satiah wearing, but it would work for now. "I won't have the best second pair of shoes. You'll have to keep wearing those. I do have some extra socks and undergarments I haven't opened yet. Since we look almost like twins, it should be fine." She gathered all the clothes. "There you go."

Anzu left the room as Satiah got dressed. She spotted Atem not far away. "Breakfast?"

"Yes. I am hungry," he admitted. She went past him to the kitchen. "Masika is up with you?"

Masika? "Who?"

"Satiah's real name," Atem revealed. "I encourage you to use it for her."

"Masika." Anzu started getting out ingredients. "That's pretty. She never told me that."

"She kept it hidden. There is power in names, but she should try accepting it instead of rebelling against it. Try it and see how she responds." Atem sat down but his body yawned against him again. "That action is annoying."

"Long night." Anzu understood that. Clearly a long night. Satiah hadn't exactly revealed what happened much except that Bakura couldn't be near her anymore. "This shouldn't take long." She heard someone else come in. "Morning, Satiah. Go ahead and take a seat. I'm sure Yuugi will pop up soon." She thought about what Atem said. Masika. Maybe she'd ask about it later.

Satiah yawned and scratched her neck lightly. "This blouse is itchy."

"Yeah, sometimes they can be a little itchy. It's pretty on you though," she complimented her. "I'll serve you guys up, then I'll go wake up Yuugi."

"Do not wake up Yuugi too long," Satiah threw her warning, but Anzu wasn't going to address it. She just served her up and went to Yuugi's room.

Anzu opened the door and looked in. He was actually dressed, like he got up earlier, but was defeated and passed out on top of the bed. It was past three when they all went to sleep for good last night. ///Anzu: He's so cute when he sleeps./// No, no. She couldn't. Yuugi, friend. Satiah was right, what if she did come back? All that extra power. It wasn't the first time she'd been with someone. Just Satiah with her was fine. There was no problem the first time she was with Yuugi either. But, Atem too?

That power hurt and she'd never forget that feeling. Overstuffing her to capacity making her feel like she wanted to explode. Clearly, Satiah didn't have a problem holding that power, but she did. So? They had already addressed that last night. "Yuugi?"

He barely opened one eye and looked at her. He smiled. Even tired in bed, he always had a smile that melted her. "Morning again." He started to move around and noticed the time. "Yikes. I did need more rest."

"Everybody did. I'm in the middle of making breakfast. Up." She tried to pull him up. "Come on, Yuugi. You've got two spirits with old but new bodies trying to eat breakfast. You don't want to miss that." Satiah would probably be poking at the food. She needed to get back there soon.

"Oh yeah. I? I need to get Atem some clothes. A shower. A toothbrush. So does Satiah. Sorry." Yuugi started to get up. "I'll be just a second, Anzu." He picked up his phone. "Calls already. I'm popular today. Thanks for breakfast."

She could make breakfast every day for the rest of her life for him, and it would still never make up for what he did for her. "Your welcome. This way, Yuugi."

She went ahead and headed back to the kitchen. Satiah was handling the food like a champ. As she continued to cook, Yuugi came in, but he didn't look good. "What's wrong, Yuugi?"

Yuugi put his phone in the center of the table. "We've missed a lot. I should have stayed up after all."

Message 1: Yuugi! Kaiba has Shizuka! I can't believe this. I drove her all night because she kept saying she'd walk out of the apartment if I didn't drive her. We ended up driving all night and into the morning and we ended up at Kaiba Corp. I figured that was it but then Kaiba just took her! I've been--- end of message.

Message 2: Sorry, I got cut off. Long story short I've called Jounouchi and I followed this address Kaiba dropped, but it lead me anywhere useful, and I called you and I have waited out here for a long time! It's past daybreak but he's got to have her in there somewhere. I'm going to try and break into Kaiba Corp, I don't trust her with him!

Message 3: So, Yuugi? I know it's real early but Honda broke into our company. He's been arrested. We'll sort it out when I find out more, like why he was that stupid. Tell Jounouchi his sister is here too. Kaiba wanted her to stay last night in the guest bedroom. Thanks.

Message 4: Jounouchi's phone is ringing off the hook but it doesn't matter because he's possessed again! He's trying to take back control, but he still hasn't changed. I'll let you know when he gets better. If he does.

Message 5: Yuugi. Kaiba Corp just had someone break into it and I don't mean your stupid friend. My brother got shot. My. Brother. Got fucking shot! Also, I have the millennium rod now. If you want more details I learned, pick up your fucking phone!

Message 6: Yuugi. Sorry, I hate leaving messages. Just let uh, Rider know that it will be okay. She can't see him until um . . . whatever is going on with her energy disappears . . . but we'll find a way that she can be with her friend. Maybe virtual playing or by the phone? We'll work something out. I won't give up on them.

Message 7: This is an automatic response to let you know that your dueling cards are now on the way. You will receive another message when they arrive.

"We have a busy day to catch up with," Yuugi said. "Atem, come with me. We'll get you dressed and I have extra toothbrushes."
