The young violet eye pharaoh, lay peacefully on his large bed, enjoying the few moments he got to rest. Ever since he became pharaoh almost five months ago, he rarely had time for himself. The only noise that could be heard was from the children, playing around the palace.

The tri coloured hair teen closed his eyes, about to drift off into a deep slumber. He was unaware of someone entering the room until she kissed his lips.

"Tea!" He moaned, returning the kiss.

"How did you know it was me?" Tea asked as the two parted.

The Pharaoh opened his eyes to see a shoulder length brunette with fair complexion and bright blue eyes.

"Your scent, my queen and remember anyone apart from you that tries to kiss me would suffer a faith worse than death."

Tea lay beside Yami before resting her head on his chest. Yami hugged Tea's waist, to bring her closer to him. The two lay in a comfortable silence till Tea asked, "Do you remember this time two years ago we couldn't show our feelings for each other."

"I remember that's when my father was pharaoh and you had just arrived to the palace to be executed." He thought back to the day the two met.

Flashback

The seventeen year old Prince Yami sat on the throne beside his father, Pharaoh Aknamkanon. Two guards entered the room, dragging in Tea with ropes and chains.

"My, Pharaoh." One guard said. "This woman was found stealing from the market."

"Oh really." The pharaoh said. "She shall be punished. We have ways of dealing with petty thieves like her, and that is death."

As his father was talking, the Prince couldn't seem to take his eyes off the girl.

Once he heard death, Yami said. "No."

"No to what son?" The Pharaoh asked.

"Father, instead of death, how about something else. What about a lighter sentence?" Yami spoke. "She only stole something not kill someone."

"No son, you know the rules for thieves. Guards send her to the dungeon." The Pharaoh ordered. The guards dragged Tea to the dungeon but not before Yami and Tea made eye contact.

As night came around Yami walked towards the dungeon. After much convincing he managed to convince his father to give Tea a lighter sentence, instead of her freedom she would become his personal servant.

When he finally reached the dungeon, Yami heard someone singing. He looked to see Tea sitting in her cell, singing with her eyes closed.

Everyday I rise on a prayer
that's all I got 2 take me thru
I know one day I must n I will (oh, oh)
free myself from everything that holds me captive

Chorus:
going to b free like a bird in the sky
going to b free going to fly so high
going to b free going to free my mind
going to b free going to fly so high

Life is so sweet n I don't wanna die
but this burden I bear cud b hard sometimes
food scarce so mi juggle everywhere
sometimes fi mek a move mi cyaah find no bus fare
go look fi mama joy shi seh ntn nuh deh dere
pon d yute dem face I see d pain

Tears flowed from Tea's eyes, wishing she could be free from her cell.

"You have a beautiful voice." Yami said. Tea opened her eyes, surprised.

"Prince?" Tea asked nervous.

Yami opened the cell gate, and walked over to Tea to release her from the chains.

"Please call me Yami when we are alone which will be a lot. I convinced my father to make you become my servant, as a lighter sentence. You are to take orders from me and me alone."

"But why, prince?"

Yami smiled. "Let's just say it's a personal thing."

End Flashback

"After that day, we started to show our feelings for each other but we had to keep our relationship a secret, since royals couldn't be with commoners." Tea said as she played with his gold bang.

"Yes, that's true until my father died a few months ago and I became pharaoh. I changed that rule so we could be together and now in a few days we shall be husband and wife." Yami grinned.

"I am glad." Tea kissed his lips, which Yami gladly returned. As it became more passionate, someone entered the room.

"Pharaoh." A brown hair male with blue eyes said before seeing the two kissing.

"What is it Seto?" Yami asked, upset at him for interrupting his and Tea's private moment.

"Um….Um, a creature is attacking the city and is heading towards the palace as we speak." Seto replied.

Yami looked at Tea, giving her a sad look before grabbing his DiaDhank. He was about to leave the room with Seto till he saw Tea grabbing her DiaDhank.

"Love, please stay here. I want to know that you're safe."

"You are supposed to know me well enough by now. Whenever you're facing danger, I will be there beside you fighting and giving it my all."

Yami knew when Tea made up her mind, there was no changing it. He simply nodded before the three left the room.

"The other members of the royal court along with Mana have left already, to try and kill the monster." Seto informed Yami as they walked into the stables.

"What do you know of this creature?" Yami asked as he took out his horse.

"Nothing much, apart from it is a powerful creature."

"That is of no help to me." Yami said as he and Seto mount their horses. The Pharaoh looked over to see Tea on hers as well.

The three rode off towards the monster.

"Master, I don't know how long we can hold of this monster." Mana said as she used her magic to summon Dark Magician Girl.

"Mana, we have to try till the Pharaoh gets here." Mahad said to the brunette as he summoned the Dark Magician.

"Isis, can you see into the future and tell us a way to defeat this creature?" Mahad asked as he looked up at a large, grey monster known as Zorc, the dark one.

"No Mahad, I can't. My necklace is been blocked by something." Isis sighed sadly. "I don't know if we can defeat this monster."

"Don't give up. Even the strongest creature has its weakness and we shall take down this creature." Mana said before a large Red Dragon flew pass them and attacked Zorc.

"Isn't that Slifer, the Sky Dragon?" Mana asked as she turned around to see the Pharaoh, Seto and Tea riding towards them.

"Pharaoh, you made it!" Mahad smiled for a moment.

"I came here as soon as possible."

"Pharaoh, what are we going to do?" Mana asked, nervously.

"I have an idea, but I am not sure how effective it would be." Yami moved forward. "Everyone call back your monsters." He ordered the member of the court. The five along with Mana did as they were told. Yami prepared to summon two other monsters.

A few moments later, he summoned The Winged Dragon of Ra and Obelisk, the Tormentor.

"Karim, can I borrow the millennium scale?"

"Yes my Pharaoh." Karim handed Yami the golden scale. Yami used the scale and fused his three creatures to form The Creator of Light.

Yami gave Karim back his scale and ordered his monster to attack Zorc.

"Your creature cannot defeat me!" Zorc laughed as he attacked. He punched the Creator of Light onto the ground then attacked Yami.

"Yami, get out of the way!" Tea ran towards him.

Yami ran as he said, "Tea, stay where you are."

The Creator of Light got up and attacked Zorc but was too late as he had already attacked Yami and Tea.

The Creator managed to use its powers and send Zorc to the shadow realm before disappearing.

Seto looked over to see Yami and Tea lying on the floor, both hanging on for dear life with their hands holding each other. He heard whispering coming from them as he moved closer along with the other members of the court.

"My beautiful Tea, no matter what happens I will always love you." Yami said.

"I know love as I will always love you, forever and we will be together in another life." Tea began to cry.

"Don't cry my Queen, I hate seeing you cry. Your tears are valuable to me."

"I love you, Yami."

"I love you too, Tea and we will meet again in time." Yami took his last breath. Tea held his hand tightly before laying her head to the ground and died knowing she would be with her love again, only in a matter of time.

Seto ran over to the two and checked their pulse. Once he released that they were no more, he looked over to where everyone else was standing.

"They are dead." He simply said.

"You know what this means Seto?" Isis asked, trying to hold back the tears. "Since you are Yami's cousin, you're next in line to take the throne."

"I know." Seto tried also to fight back his tears. He picked up Yami's lifeless body and carefully took off the millennium puzzle before walking towards the palace.

Mahad lifted up Tea and carried her to the palace with the rest of the royal court following behind.

3000 Years Later.

"Anzu Mazaki, you're going to be late for your first day of school." Mrs. Mazaki said from the kitchen.

"I am coming, mother." A girl came into the kitchen looking the spitting image of Tea and wearing a pink oxford jacket, white shirt, blue skirt and tie, white socks and brown shoes.

"How do I look?" Anzu asked.

"Beautiful as always, my dear. Now hurry up or else you will be late." Mrs. Mazaki said.

Anzu took up her bag and books before quickly left the house.

A couple minutes later Anzu walked up to her new school. She walked into the building and saw students walking quickly to their classes.

"Now, where do I find the office?" She said to herself. Someone came from behind and knocked her to the ground, causing all her books to fall on the ground. Anzu looked up to see a male with red hair getting up and running towards his class. "What a jerk!" Anzu began to pick up her stuff.

"Need a hand?" A deep voice asked from behind her. She looked around to see a male about her age, with tri colour hair and violet eyes. He was wearing a blue jacket and pants with a white shirt and a black choker.

"Thank you." Anzu whispered.

"Welcome." The male helped Anzu with her stuff.

"You're new here, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, I am Anzu Mazaki." Anzu held out her hand for him to shake it.

"I am Atem Mutou." He reached over to shake her hand.

As his hand connected with hers, something surge through them. "Wow." The two said as they parted.

"Um…Atem, can you point me to the principal's office. Please."

"I can do something better. I will walk you there." Atem smiled as he looked at the sheets of paper that fell out of the books. Picking them up, he read a few lines.

"These are awesome. Did you write them yourself?"

"Yeah, I write whenever I can but I don't consider myself to be that good." Anzu blushed.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You have an amazing talent." Atem informed her.

"Thank you."

Atem walked her to the office and said, "I will be waiting here when you come out."

Anzu nodded before walking into the room.

A few moments later Anzu came out back with her timetable.

"What class do you have, now?" Atem asked.

"History, room thirty eight," Anzu answered, as she looked down on the paper.

"You and I have the same class." Atem said. "Let's hurry up before the teacher comes, I want to introduce you to my friends."

Eight Hours Later

Anzu and Atem walked home together, after releasing they lived only a few houses apart. Atem introduced Anzu to his two best friends, Joey Wheeler, dirty blond hair boy with honey coloured eyes and Tristan Taylor a brown hair male with dark brown eyes.

"Thank you for walking me home, Atem." Anzu said as the two reached her front step.

"It was no problem; I would do anything for a friend."

"A friend? That sounds nice." Anzu smiled.

"How about tomorrow I come by and walk to school with you?" Atem asked.

"I would love that." Anzu gave him a kiss on the cheek.

'We will meet again in time.' A voice said in hers and Atem's mind.

'Wow! ' Both thought before Anzu walked inside. Atem smiled as he left and walked home.

"Anzu, sweetie, is that you?" Mrs. Mazaki asked, from the living room.

"Yes Mom."

"So, how was school today?" Mrs. Mazaki asked as she walked to her daughter.

"It was fun, I made three friends today."

The brunette woman smiled widely. "I am so happy for you darling. You should invite them over one day."

"I just met them Mom and you will be able to see one tomorrow morning. He is coming to walk with me to school."

"He? Is he cute?"

Anzu blushed. "He is very handsome mother, now can I go to my room now?" Anzu said playfully.

"Yes you can, I am just happy for you darling. Now I am going to make the dinner before your father comes home. Do you have any homework?"

"Yeah, but very little so I think I can manage." Anzu went to her room. As she threw down her bag, Anzu lay on her bed, holding a single sheet of paper.

FREE

Everyday I rise on a prayer
that's all I got 2 take me thru
I know one day I must n I will (oh, oh)
free myself from everything that holds me captive

Chorus:
going to b free like a bird in the sky
going to b free going to fly so high
going to b free going to free my mind
going to b free going to fly so high

"I am almost finished with this song. It still needs a little more work" Anzu told herself.

Atem finally reached home and took a deep breath before walking to his room.

He threw down his bag and walked over to a small desk with a golden box on it. Atem's grandfather gave it to him a few years ago, as a birthday present. According to his grandfather, the legends say that this puzzle was over three thousand years old and once belong to a great and powerful pharaoh and whoever fixes the puzzle would have great powers.

Atem removed the lid off the box and carefully took out the almost finished puzzle.

"Just two pieces left to go." Atem carefully put the two pieces in their place, and then a bright light engulfed the room.
