Rooftop Pharaoh
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the K-Drama Rooftop Prince!
Okay, so I was sooo addicted to this drama, probably the best drama I have ever seen by far! As I kept watching each and every episode, I always kept thinking how cool will it be if this was written Yugioh style, and so here it is…yep! I just couldn't resist. After all it's a good excuse to be back here again, I sure do miss this. Forgive me my fellow readers for the long absence! I figured it'll be best to at least start a fresh new story in order to get that passion back and by this I will hopefully be able to continue my other story! ;-p
Summary: After the death of Pharaoh Atem's wife Queen Nefertiti, the Pharaoh transports 5000 years into the future and arrives in 21st century Tokyo, Japan with his fellow trust worthy servants. In the present day Tokyo 2012, the Pharaoh meets Vivian, who has an uncanny resemblance to his deceased Queen.
Ancient Egypt 1570–1070 BC,
It was a very cold shivering night, as the Egyptians were getting ready to call it a day and started wrapping their merchandise up and return to their respectable places. The palace which stood in all its glory inhabited ofcource none other than the ruler of Egypt himself who slept peacefully in his bedroom chamber as guards stood outside guarding their lord in case of any mishaps. The night was getting very late as it was very peaceful indeed, everything was going smoothly, however, something was not quite right. There, right next to our young handsome Pharaoh the side of the bed was unoccupied, where his Queen should've been lying.
All of a sudden as if in one cue when dawn nearly approached, a loud screeching scream was heard. The servants near the Nile river were suppose to get up early and wash their master's royal clothes when they suddenly found a dead woman's body floating on her stomach…motionless. Guards everywhere started scrambling and headed their way, demanding what was the entire disturbance about.
"Who dares to disturb the Pharaoh's slumber?" One guard roared at a fearful servant whose eyes were wide as she was desperately clutching her wooden laundry basket.
"F-forgive me sir…I-I was merely startled that is a-all…t-there…i-in…:sobs: i-in the Nile…we f-found a body…someone…h-has drowned…a-a-and….:sobs:" the poor servant stuttered as she broke down when she couldn't complete what had she saw, the other servants approached the shaken figure as they knelt down with her, for they had also seen it, and were scared out of their wits, eyes almost bulging out as they couldn't stop shaking. The guards had enough of this as one of them approached the servants again,
"And what? Who did this? Were you able to recognize the body? Have you seen anyone suspicious lurking around? Answer me servants or you shall suffer the consequences if it was all just a made up sick joke!" Another servant immediately bowed down shivering,
"W-we assure you sir what we saw was real! It's a female's body for sure…a-and she was clothed in royal garments sir...w-we…w-we believe…" she took a peek at the guard as she gulped quickly thinking whether or not she should continue her sentence. When she saw how impatient he was becoming she immediately retrieved her wandering eyes down to the ground again and finished her sentence, making the guards gasp and widen their eyes"…we believe i-it might have been the Q-Queen..s-sir!"
With no time to waste at all the guards demanded the servants to take them quickly to the said area where they found the body, being extra careful they commanded other soldiers to accompany them and quickly search the Palace area for any intruders. Unfortunately, once they got there they froze in their tracks when they saw it, they began to realize that what the servants just told them might be true. They couldn't believe this as some of the servants started crying and one of the guards fell on his knees,
"Who…in the name of Ra would do such a thing….?" He questioned to no one in particular as he had no idea how the young Pharaoh will take this.
Back in the Palace, in the royal chambers, the guards that stood outside followed suite along the others to find out what was going on. Screams were slowly making its way inside Pharaoh Atem's chamber. Suddenly, sharp crimson eyes flew open as the young Pharaoh quickly sat up startled and was gasping for air, clutching at his chest. With loud deep breaths and alarmed eyes, Atem quickly called for the guards and when no one answered him or rushed inside, the panic inside began to raise, he felt something was not right, especially when he looked at his side and found out that his Queen was missing. That was it, he suddenly swung his tanned legs and stood on the floor with his bare feet, he took his silky robe and began rushing towards his door opening it hurriedly only to come face to face with one of his panicked guards, heaving deep breaths as he appeared to have been running just a while ago.
"What is all the commotion about? Why do I hear screaming at this Ra forsaken hour? More importantly…" Atem grabbed the guard as he looked him straight in his quivering eyes, the poor guard was shaken and was absolutely terrified as to what he's about to inform his king"…where is my Queen?" Atem finished angrily as he squeezed his hands on the guard's shoulders, he didn't mean to hurt him, but the silence he was receiving was killing him and the look his guard was giving was only making it worse for our Pharaoh.
"M-m-y P-Pharaoh, p-please c-calm down! F-follow m-me!" He began guiding as Atem followed closely behind outside the Palace, in each step he took he began to see more and more of his servants scattered around grieving on the lost soul. Atem didn't understand, he was about to go mad, so he began picking up his pace and when he started thinking of the worst possible scenarios it wasn't really giving him much reassurance at all ,'I just hope what is in my mind is not true…' the Pharaoh thought as he found himself outside in his royal gardens, and over there near the bridge, some of his guards and servants where all gathered, circling the river beneath. Atem didn't like this one bit as he couldn't get a better view to what is exactly down there. He started pushing his people out of the way with frighten eyes as he was begging Ra for it not to be true.
Then he saw it, just over there a few feet away from him, laid a woman's body draped in royal clothes as she was upside down floating aimlessly…dead. Atem began shouting angrily, "No! This Can't be happening! Who in the name of RA did this? I demand to know at once!" Atem began struggling to get closer as he was this close in jumping in the river but his guards were trying to stop him. Tears started brimming in the corner of his eyes as he still couldn't register what was happening, "No! Let me be! That is my Queen lying there! No! Let go of me this instant!" He successfully managed to push them to the ground, however, when he began to launch himself forward he was soon stopped again by his loyal soldiers,
"My Pharaoh! Please! Calm yourself down! There is nothing we could do! We are truly sorry for your loss!" Atem kept staring at the floating body as his mouth was hung open from shock, he was speechless, he felt his cheeks getting wet but he didn't care, he didn't care that his people was seeing him in his time of weakness, the only thing he cared about was that his beloved was lying motionless there in the waters...drowned...soulless. " No…" he whispered solemnly"…this can't be true…this can't be happening!" He got up again and startled struggling to get lose, "No…Nefertiti!" Atem screamed his lover's name, "No! Get out of my way! I must save her! I must save my Queen! No!" the Pharaoh roared at the top of his lungs, he knew he won't forget this day and he never will, not as long as he is among the living.
Three hours later.
Pharaoh Atem calmed down and was now sitting on his throne clenching his fists hard until his knuckles was almost white and his yellow golden bangs were shadowing his grieving crimson eyes,"I swear upon my father's tomb my Queen, that you shall be avenged and I will find out who did this to you. I will keep looking and I will keep searching for the one responsible. I promise you that, I promise you that I will not stop until my last breath leaves my body…" he whispered dangerously under his breath as he looked up to meet the distressed eyes of his guards and began ordering them. "Fetch me my horse, for I have a quest that I must achieve by myself! Send out more guards to search the whole of Egypt! No one shall rest, not even me until the culprit is found! Do I make myself clear?" Atem looked them boldly in the eyes as if daring to defy his orders. The guards bowed and all together they answered,
"Yes my Pharaoh! We shall do as you say my king!" with that they turned around and began heading outside hurriedly, leaving Atem sighing as his shoulders dropped. When he made sure that he was alone, he brought a sewn hand-made handkerchief out of his pocket and began squeezing it tightly in his palms. The handkerchief had a very beautiful sewn apricot tree and a breathtakingly, almost real looking yellow butterfly spreading it's wings. Tears began burning again in his eyes as he shut them tightly, bringing the handkerchief to his lips, he gave a soft kiss as he remembered his Queen giving it as a gift to him. Our poor Pharaoh couldn't handle it anymore as he slumps his head down, crying quietly into the handkerchief whispering repeatedly to himself, "I am sorry, I am truly sorry, I am so sorry my Queen…for I have failed to protect you…I am s-sorry… "
What do you think? Shall I continue or leave it be?
Well opinions are welcome, I am still suffering in the 'Final Exams Period', however, I will be done soon…hopefully…no really. I promise, if you liked the beginning I will continue and update regularly. Also I promise you those who don't know the drama that this is so much more than what it seems. To make things clear, this is an {Atem x Anzu} story ooookay? I guarantee she will be there in the next chapter soon! Oh! Sorry if it's quite short…(^_^;)
