The moon was high in the sky as the young newly weds slept in each others arms. Well only one was asleep. The other was wide awake looking at her husband sleep. She kissed his cheek and got up so not to disturb him and went into the small living room of their apartment. Getting herself a glass of water she sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Skimming through the channels she whirled around when she saw a shadow in the hall way. "Yami! You scared me," she said placing her hand over her pounding heart. "Sorry Zeda, I woke up and you weren't there," Yami said and sat next to her placing his arms around her, pulling her close. "I couldn't sleep," she said leaning into his embrace. "What's on your mind?" he asked curiously. "Us…" she said sighing. "Us? What about us?" Yami asked confused. "About the day we met." Yami thought for a minute, "Do you mean during Battle City?" "No that's when we were reunited. I mean when we first met. 5,000 years ago. When you were pharaoh," she said sighing. Yami sighed and tightened his grip on her "I don't like to remember that. I know I got my memory back and that's what I wanted. But those aren't the greatest memories in the world… That was when I lost you…"
Flashback: 5,000 years ago…
"My Pharaoh I really must protest…" "Its my kingdom I have the right to roam about it freely if I want to do I not?" Lord Atem asked as he was getting annoyed. "Yes but…." his servant said. "But what? None of you are seriously looking for the eighth millennium item and we're going to need it. If Aishisu's necklaces prediction was true and that we are going to be having a war involving the items, we will need that eighth item," Lord Atem said. "Yes my lord but we don't even know were to look and we've been looking for months," the servant said. "Where have you been looking?" " The temples, wealthy homes, anywhere an item should be…" "Then that's why we can't find the item! You've been looking in places where there is a good chance it should be, when you should be looking somewhere unusual. I'm going out into the kingdom to look for myself," the pharaoh said smirking after he made his point. "very well my pharaoh , but are you at least going to go undercover. It may not be a good thing if people recognize you my lord," his servant suggested . "With my hair I'll be recognized no matter what," Lord Atem said and finally made it to the stables to get his horse. He quickly headed out before his servant protested anymore…
In the village where the pharaoh was visiting, wealthy Egyptians tend to abuse their power over their servants.
"Zeda! Get your lazy ass in here!" A mans voice roared through out the house. "Yes sir…" Zeda said keeping her head down. "Get me a drink, whine." "Yes sir…"She said as she went back into the small kitchen of the large house. Getting the whine Zeda came back and went back to prepare lunch. Her friend Lilly was called into the other room and Zeda's heart dropped. Lilly screamed which could only mean one thing, he was going to have his way with her. Zeda gripped her medallion, 'I can't let that happen. He treats us like shit but I can't let him do that to her,' she thought and grabbed the hot pan that had hot embers on it. She rushed into the room as their master was grabbing her friend and without even thinking hit him as hard as she could with it. He fell hard to the ground and Zeda grabbed Lilly's hand and they ran out. They ran as fast as they could as they heard their master curse and he began to run after the two girls. They ran into an ally to hide for a minute, "Lilly we're going to have to split up. He's pissed at me, he wont come after you. Wait till he see's me and goes after me then run." "Run where, he's wealthy he can find us any anywhere," Lilly asked. "Run to your brothers house, he's on the outskirts of the kingdom. Our master doesn't know where your brother lives, go there and stay there. Whatever happens stay with him…" Zeda said. Lilly's eyes filled with tears, "Be careful," Lilly said and hugged her friend. Zeda hugged her back and soon ran out of the ally. That was the last time she would ever see her friend. At least not till 5,000 years later. She got her masters attention and ran as soon as she was sure he would chase her. Not paying attention to where she was running, she ran into something. Something hard. It was a horse, and because she ran into it and spooked it the horse reared up and came crashing down barely missing her. The horse was finally calmed down and the rider slid off the horse. Zeda opened her eyes after her moment of terrier and saw a three different colors. Her eyes finally focused and she saw a hand being held out to her. She looked up and she saw the young man who was offering to help her up. He had beautiful ruby red eyes that captured her. She took his hand and he helped her to her feet. "Are you alright miss?" He asked as his deep voice sent chills down her spine. Then she remembered why she was running, "No, I was being chased…" She said looking around she saw her chaser on the ground kneeling before the man who had helped her up. She looked at him and realized the man who was still holding her hand was the pharaoh. She let go of his hand and knelt down before him as well. The pharaoh had also noticed something. The girl he just saved wore a necklace, a medallion, the millennium medallion. The man who had been chasing the girl got up and grabbed her and tried to leave. The pharaoh was not going to allow that, "Let go of that girl!"
