A/N: Hey there! I can't believe I'm finally uploading this! XD *dances around* Yeah, I'm not the best writer, but I do my best. I hope you all will like it. Just so you know, this is a fanfic with the ORIGINAL Yu-Gi-Oh! characters (I grew up with the 4Kids version, so I know their names better and I'm using them for this fanfic). I am not using anyone from GX or 5Ds. I'm not as fond of them as I am the original. There are many pairings within this fanfic, though I'll be focusing more with the characters who get with Yami and Bakura. As for the other pairings, you'll find out in time~xP Alrighty then~! Enjoy and R&R please~! No flames, though. ^^;;
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of the characters in the series! I wish I did though. TToTT
Destiny's Choice: Prologue
Ancient Egypt; 5,000 years ago
The cry of a newborn baby rang out during the night in a small but peaceful village. Women had been rushing around in the birthing apartment, helping their occupant during the labor and birth of her child. The cool winds of the desert night came into the birthing room and relieved the once-pregnant woman from the excess amount of heat and sweat that developed on and around her body. Her labor had been painful, as well pushing the child out, but she and her newborn had survived. One of the midwives in the birthing apartment cut the cord connecting her and her child, wrapped the babe in clean linens, and announced to the new mother, "Milady, your son."
The mother, a woman of straight, jet-black hair that went down mid back, looked at the midwife and smiled tiredly at her before taking her some from the lady's arms. This new mother did not entirely look like her people, with their heavily tanned skin and dark eyes. Instead, the color of her skin was pale and white, and eyes that glittered like emeralds made her stand out from everyone else. It did not matter in the least to her, though, that she did not look like her people. She was still a beautiful woman. It was no surprise that she had been named Nafretiri, or "beautiful creation" in Egyptian.
Nafretiri now looked at her baby boy, who laid asleep in her arms. He had her hair, but his skin was a dark tan, like his father's had been. The babe also had his father's eyes. For before her son had fallen asleep, two dark brown eyes peered up at her with a glowing innocence. She knew that when he was older, those eyes would be hardened from anger and hardships, and he would resemble his father even more than before. As the midwives left the apartments, she look outside towards the open window and peered at the desert sky, twinkling with many stars. She smiled slightly and began to fall asleep. Before she finally closed her eyes to rest, she murmured something.
"I hope you're watching over Ay and I in the afterlife...my beloved thief..."
