A/N: Hey, I'm posting another story! This one is also a YGO, but it isn't a comedy like my other. It takes place in Egyptian times, and while it's different from the show, it may contain spoilers for those who don't want to know. The prologue is pretty short, but the other chapters will for the most part be longer.
Kaz: Ohkami doesn't own Yu-Gi-OH or the pharaoh, although she probably really wants to.
Prologue
The pharaoh waited anxiously in his chamber. Tonight he, Akunamukanon, was going to become a father. He started to pace. It seemed like it had been hours since his wife had gone into labor. The midwives had quickly forced him out of the room, it was forbidden for men to be around at such a time. He was getting very worried. Was it supposed to take this long? This was his first child, so he really didn't know.
Finally, after what seemed like days of waiting, there was a faint knock on the door. "You may enter." He said, trying to speak with his typical, regal tone, although it was quite difficult to hold back the anxiety and excitement in his voice. The huge golden door opened and one of the midwives entered the room. She was cradling a sleeping baby in her arms. She had her head hung down, but Akunamukanon paid little mind to this, he was used to people humbling themselves like that in his presence. After all, he was the ruler of Egypt.
"Congratulations," she said softly, still keeping her head hung very low, "You're now the father of a beautiful baby boy." It was now that the pharaoh realized something was not right. She didn't sound truly excited and although she tried to smile, he could tell it was only half-hearted.
"What's wrong?" he asked her, but he had a sneaking suspicion he didn't really want to know. The midwife picked up her head for the first time since she'd entered the room to reveal tears streaming down her face. "The baby is doing fine, but-" she paused, choking on a sob as she did so, "The queen, she didn't make it."
That was like a blow to the stomach for Akunamukanon. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. She'd been so excited about finally having a child. "Umm...p-pharaoh?" Akunamukanon jumped a little, he'd forgotten that she was still in the room with him. "Yes?" "S-she asked me to tell you...she wanted his name to be A-Atemu." She choked back a sob again, and held out the baby to Akunamukanon, gesturing for him to take him. Akunamukanon did so, gently cradling his new son in his arms. The midwife slowly backed out of the room, figuring the pharaoh would want to be alone. She bowed slightly before turning and leaving, shutting the door quietly behind her. "Then Atemu it is." The pharaoh said softly, mostly to himself. He hugged his son, letting the tears slowly roll down his cheek once he was certain she'd left the room.
In the shadows his brother, Akunadin, watched him cradling the baby, a look of anger and disgust written on his face. Even though it was dark, his millennium eye glistened.
