Hello all, and welcome to my first fic! I'm very excited about this. However, first things first, the disclaimer and warnings.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or anything else except the plot and my oc.
Warnings: Um, there might be some violence and blood, but I don't think there will be too much else. If there is, I will let you know at the beginning of the chapter.
Pairings: YamiOC, SetoKisara, YamiOCBakura, and one-sided BakuraOC.
Well, without further ado, let's begin!
Prologue: Thoughts and Wishes
Pharaoh Yami Atem sighed as he gazed at the stars from his balcony. He was worried, though he would never admit it. War had come to Egypt, for the first time in Pharaoh's memory. Things just weren't going well.
Mana giggled as she leaped from her hiding place, intending to startle the Pharaoh, with whom she was good friends. However, the spiky-haired monarch disappointed her, seeing as he didn't even seem to notice her. She was about to do something drastic (exactly what she wasn't sure) to get him to notice her, when she saw the unhappy look in his dark violet eyes. "Yami, what's wrong?" she asked, curious as to what was getting her friend so down.
Yami gave Mana a sad smile, before turning back to the sky. "I've been thinking," he told her, in a voice nearly devoid of emotion. Mana frowned. He was using his "Pharaoh voice" as she called, and in this particular situation, that was a bad sign. "What've you been thinking about?" she asked, even though she was fairly sure she knew what the answer would be. "This war. Death. Bakura. The Items. My Father. Love." Only the last thing he said startled her.
"Love?" she managed to ask despite her shock.
"Yes, love."
"Why?"
He sighed and leaned against the balcony. "I guess it's because most people just see me as Pharaoh. But I'm more than that. I'm an eighteen-year-old young man who wants to find true love while on a dangerous adventure. I want someone who will love me for who I am, not because I'm Pharaoh." He let out yet another sigh. "But I don't think that's ever going to happen."
"Why not?"
"Well, this war for one thing. For another I will be Pharaoh until I die, and as Pharaoh, I can't just up and leave whenever I want to. And with the threat of Bakura," he shook his head, "It's too dangerous."
Mana felt bad for her longtime friend. All he really wanted was for the war to end and to find someone he loved who would love him in return, not for his looks or his power, or his wealth, but for him. Mana thought for a bit before she spoke. "Maybe it'll come to you. Maybe you will find it." She shrugged. "My advice is don't worry about."
Yami gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you, Mana. You're a good friend." Mana laughed. "Thanks for the compliment Your Highness." Yami turned back to the night sky. "Look!" Mana exclaimed excitedly. "A shooting star! Make a wish Yami." Yami closed his eyes and made his wish. I wish for love. That's all I really want. I'm going to die in this war, I can sense it. But, before I die, I want to know what it is like to love and be loved. This is my wish.
Well, the prologue is complete. Please, leave a review and tell me what you think. It will be much appreciated.
