Ok everyone, disclaimer time.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu-gi-oh in anyway, shape, or form. The credit for that goes to its creator.
Now on with the story.
Atem looked out his window. It was a calm night. All the fires from the palace produced a glow that might have even made a star jealous. The city had what appeared to be a blanket of light over it as well. He looked up and saw the real stars.
/They do look envious/ he thought.
He saw the constellations Sirius and Orion. Then he started to make his own constellations. For instance, he found a group of stars that looked just like the outline of the Millennium Puzzle. He looked down and held it in his hand. One year ago that night he had been trapped inside. Now he was free thanks to a boy named Yugi. A smile crossed his face.
/I wonder what they could be up to./ He wondered.
He thought of his friends. Yugi was the solver of the Millennium Puzzle. His partner is saving the world. Then there was Tea. She was always right there when he needed her, even when she really didn't know about him. All his friends were, even Kaiba. He was so prideful he would never admit it, but it was true. Joey had always had a problem with Kaiba's attitude. Funny how Joey used to pick at Yugi and now was one of his most supportive friends. Atem had witnessed him grow into a great duelist and a better person. Of course, he did go off the handle from time to time, but Tristan was always there to hold him back. Sometimes Duke too. Those three tried to be tough guys at times but were easily subdued by a few things. Food for instance.
Grumble grumble. His stomach made a noise at the thought of food. He hadn't thought about it but he hadn't eaten since probably around eight o'clock. It was probably about two in the morning now. He had had trouble sleeping for a few days.
Grumble grumble. His stomach sounded off again. /Alright, alright. You win./ A small late night snack wouldn't hurt him, he decided. With that, he started for the kitchen, trying to not wake those in the rooms he passed up.
The hall was a long corridor that was partially open to the courtyard. The ceiling was held up by pillars on the open side of the hall that had designs painted at their tops that made them look like extremely tall flowers. The courtyard was a sight to behold. There were plants of almost every variety there. At least, the ones that would grow in the Egyptian heat. There was also a long, shallow pool of water in the middle with a fountain at its center. On the sides were scenes that depicted everything from past ceremonies to normal life as an Egyptian. It was interesting to look at.
/Ah, finally here. Now should I have some grapes or some melon or…what was that?/ There was a noise at the other end of the kitchen. The pharaoh quickly spun around to see what could have caused the noise. Everyone who was supposed to be there was asleep. All save for the guards that is and they were doing what they do best, guarding. Not in the kitchen. Now the question was, what or who was causing that noise? Unfortunately he could only see an outline. He found two pieces of unused stone on the floor and used them to light a near-by torch. He picked it up and turned to face whatever was there. He was not ready for what he saw next.
"BAKURA!"
Ok, first chapter done. Tell me what you think.
Atem: I think you need to get that thief out of my kitchen.
Bakura: Can you blame me for wanting a meal? Really, have you seen the market food lately? It's not even worth the effort of stealing it.
Atem: I don't care. Get out!
Twilightknight1594: Ok boys calm down. You can yell at each other all you want in the next chapter. See ya next time!
