Truth in the Tomb
"W-wait," Yugi yelled. "No hurry up," Atem exclaimed. In Egypt were a prince and a pheasant. Atem was the prince of Egypt who once again snuck out to play with his best friend Yugi. Yugi wasn't rich like Atem, but he use to have a good family before they were killed. Atem was seventeen years old, he had black hair that showed off his slightly angled face and blond bangs with crimson tips that matched his eyes which were narrow and angular; his skin was a sandy tan but most of it was covered by the robes, small purple cape, and gold jewelry that sat on his wrists. Yugi was sixteen years old, twelve years from when his parents were killed. The boy's hair was like Atem's but had three less bangs and one softly cascaded over the gap between his eyes, deep rare amethyst jewel color; which were nice and round that showed his innocence.
The physical feature he didn't have was the tan skin, instead he had a pale color and the village people called him Anubis' undoing also worse because he look like the prince; an insult was said to him. The town people would harm Yugi anyway they could both mentally and physically, but they never killed him, for they thought he must suffer. That is how Atem found Yugi, in an ally on the verge of death with blood running cold. Atem healed the young one by using the magic that only the royal family possesses. The prince was the only one in the strange boy's life who had ever liked his pale skin.
As of now Atem is having Yugi follow him to a secret location. "Where are we going," Yugi asked panting as Ra's heat was getting to him. "To the valley of the Kings," Atem replied calmly. Yugi's eyes widen, "WHAT! Only royalty is allowed there!" Atem stood shocked by the rule, "Really? That's not true the royal council never said anything of it," Atem thought to himself. He turned to Yugi and smiled. "Uh…um…don't worry," The crimson eyed boy said as he tried to reassure Yugi.
That was one thing Atem has never told Yugi. Yugi doesn't know that his best friend was the Prince of Egypt. He always thought that he was just a bit wealthier than himself. Yugi sighed, "Alright, but if we get caught I'm leaving you to deal with the guards" He laughed and ran after his friend again. Once they reach the near to end of their journey it was time for Yugi's most favorite thing in the world. "I HATE CLIMBING," Yugi exclaimed as he hung on for dear life. "Don't worry" Atem persuaded as he reached the bottom of the cliff, "Ok, now I'll catch you" Atem smirked as his small friend twitched. "NO! Not ever! Remember last time. I almost died," Yugi reminded Atem. The Atem just chuckled and smirked as his jewel eyed friend pouted.
Just then the rock crumbled underneath Yugi's hand. All jokes put aside as Yugi began to plummet to the ground. Yugi muffled his mouth and closed his eyes not wanting to see his end. The air was like lashes on his body, cold and fast. It reminded him of his place in the world as Anubis' undoing. He suddenly felt warmth as strong yet soft arms surround him. Both Yugi and the man fell with a grunt. Yugi stood up and looked at the person recognizing the face, "Atem!" Worried for his friend he helped him up, "Are you ok?" Yugi pulled the prince's face to his chest and hugged the back of his head tightly. Atem rolled his head so that it looked up at the young one before him, "Don't worry. Just follow me" Atem snatched his hands and pulled him away.
Yugi dismissed the sudden work of the crimson eyed teen and let him-self be smoothed by Atem's gentle touch on his hand. They stopped so Atem could wrap a blindfold on Yugi's eyes. Yugi knew better than to question it and took another grip onto Atem. Atem had dragged the two to a pharaoh's tomb. He spoke to the guards that he did not want to be disturbed and went inside; he pulled Yugi closer to him; traps such as spikes, hidden passage ways, and trivial games till they reached the tomb room.
Once there the prince sighed, "My last chance to tell him and my last day to freely see him. Just let him understand, Ra, please…" Atem's thought had trailed off when he felt Yugi grip his hand tighter. "It something wrong," asked the innocence. Too Atem it was the sweetest voice he had ever heard. Then he realized the younger's question. "No" Atem finally said, "Take it off now" referring to the blindfold. The teen did as told and yanked the rag off and amethyst eyes opened then a gasp was echoed.
Gold everywhere, the floors, walls, roof, and the sarcophagus also lined with braded crimson silk. Yugi let his eyes wander and noticed some hieroghlys. He almost fainted at the name: Atem. Yugi turned to Atem with a shocked yet glare like face. "You…you're…the prince…" Yugi asked. Atem nodded and decided to keep silent. The problem was things took a turn for the worst.
Yugi's face exploded with red in disbelief, "I thought I was your friend!" Yugi released his anger, "I told you everything, but you never told me this!" His eyes flooded with tears, his sight grew dazed, "Why…one reason…why…?" Atem was stunned by the amethyst eyed teen's outburst but kept a stern face. "…I didn't tell you because…you would treat me different…I wanted a friend that liked me, not because I am prince…" He trailed off.
Yugi let the information slip in and smiled staring straight into what was clouded crimson eyes. He walked up to the prince and cupped his face and pulled him into an embrace. His hands then wrapped around the taller's waist as he cried softly into the shirt. "Atem…" Yugi's voice trailed off, "I'll always be your friend please don't cry anymore and don't lie to me again…" Yugi broke down and sobbed. Atem hugged Yugi back and put a hand on the back of the little one's hair. "I won't aibou…" Yugi looked at Atem confusion written all along his face, "Aibou?" He asked. Atem laughed, "It means partner or person I can't live without. I learned it from this Japanese woman who was speaking with father." The prince stated. Yugi rolled his eyes, "Let's leave!" Yugi held Atem as they walk out. Atem began to think, "Now how will I tell him I'm leaving to become pharaoh soon." Then two smiled leaving to tomb that hid the truth. Now bigger things lie ahead…
