Yami: Hi there, names Yami, and here is my first fanfic, it's been a work in progress for some time now, but now I've decided to carry it on
Atem: you're only doing this to avoid your homework
Yami: Argh.......... (Glares at Atem)
Yugi: Err, as a quick explanation, Yami and the pharaoh are two different people here; look on the profile if you want to know more, it would help to understand him
Atem: what, understand him! That's hardly likely
Yami: Oh I swear to god, Yugi please make him shut up
Atem: heh, oh by the way, Yami doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters, other than himself


In ancient Egypt, the great pharaoh Aknamkanon was stood holding his newborn son.

"A fine young prince just like his older brother, prince Atem. But a prince born under the sign of Anubis, the god of death, He will either become a great fighter or live a short life" said Shimon the pharaoh's councillor.

Aknamkanon just looked at the child. Something was not right, he sensed it. Aknamkanon then smiled "it doesn't matter what you are." He said "you will still be who you are, you will still be my son, Yami"

(Yami's point of view)

15 years on 15 year old Mana and 16 year old Atem are watching me riding off to go into battle for the first time. My father has left to go speak with a neighbouring peaceful tribe in the east and a war has brewed in the west. Seeing this as a perfect time to test my skills high priest Aknadin, who has been teaching me to fight for as long as I can remember, decided this would be a perfect time to test my fighting abilities and now my dad wouldn't hold me back.

The fight was in a village were rebels had begun to gather. We were to go and kill all who opposed them. Of course I wasn't told that some were no rebels but the other troops knew and were told to kill them for hiding them. Atem and Mana stood on the balcony watching the brave soldiers going into possible death. Among them was me.

Mana cried slightly and Atem looked at her and smiled.

"Don't worry Mana" he said placing a hand on her shoulder. "Yami isn't beat easily. He'll come back his old joking self".

If only that was true. If only they were right. Or if my father came home early and stopped me going. But now it's too late. Perhaps if that did happen this wouldn't have ended in unnecessary bloodshed.


Yami-there it is. The start of my first fanfic
Atem-well that sucked and was short. And what's all that rubbish about the sign of Anubis
Yami-well, it's sorta like a star sign, I got the idea of it from a game me and some friends play called oblivion
Atem-you have friends!
