The story starts
A blond boy with honey eyes named Katsuya stares at the man in front of him. He's dressed in a long white robe with a belt around his waist. He looks like he's around his thirties and puts his hand under Katsuya's chin and lifts his head up and stares at him.
"Seems like he hasn't worked in his life" the man in front of him said. The man next to the man in front of him is dressed in a greyish cape and a kilt. He has a long beard and has a devious smirks on his face. He slightly bows as he speaks "I hope that will not be a problem your highness"
The man takes his hand back and turns himself towards the older man "What do you want for him?"
"That depends how much you have"
The man looks suspicious at the salesman and he lifts his small bag around that hangs down in his belt and picks one gold coin from it. The salesman takes the coin and bites it to make sure that it's real. When he sees that it's real he bows once again "We have a deal"
Katsuya watches as the salesman gives him a end of a robe that is tied around his wrists. He follows as the buyer starts to pull him forward. When he walks he looks around. He sees that they are walking in a small town. People that lives in there looks mostly like outlaws and lives far away from the big cities and far away from the Pharaohs rule.
Katsuya looks down on himself. He's dressed in a kilt and a pair of shoes. He looks back in his past life and hears the water making sound as it flows past in the Nile. When he lived with his parents and his little sister in their small village. He had a lot of friends there and they didn't have to worry for a thing. By that time Katsuya was ten years old and was very energetic. He loved to swim in the Nile and to play hockey with his friends. Closer to the evening he played with his sister senet till the night when it happened.
It was closer to bedtime and young Katsuya decided to go out for a walk. He sneaked out trough the window when his parents wasn't around. He jumped out in the cold night and goes outside the village. He stops when he can't see the village anymore and lies down on the sand and stares as the sky.
Katsuya stares at the sky and stares at the large bunch of stars. He tries to count them all but ends up forgetting what number he was in. Every night he tries to count them all and ends up falling asleep by the window. Katsuya stops counting and stares at the north star that shines the brightest. He smiles as he closes his eyes.
Katsuya opens his eyes as the ground starts to shake and he gets quickly up and looks around. He looks up on the sky and sees the stars falling down. Katsuya starts to run towards the village to safety. While running he sees a star falling down at the village and send him flying backwards and falls down unconscious.
Katsuya watches as the man in front of him leads him out of the town and out in the dessert. Right outside the town stands an another man with two horses in his hand. "Did everything go well master Aton?" the bowing man said.
The man named Aton stares at the bowing man "We'll leave now Sudi" the bowing man named Sudi stops bowing and gives one of the horses to Aton and gets himself up on the horse. Katsuya watches as the man who bought him sits up on his horse and makes the horse walking. Katsuya walks behind the horse and sees the small town disappearing in the sand behind him.
After a long way to walk there's still half the way left and leader Aton makes a stop and Sudi starts a fire while Aton himself pulls out a map and studies it. Katsuya sits down on the sand and looks up at the dark sky.
¨˜"°º•••º°"˜¨
Katsuya looks past the horse in front of him and sees a wall surrounding a palace with smaller buildings around it. The walks trough the buildings and stops in front of a large gate that leads inside the palace walls. Aton the man who brought Katsuya here gets off his horse and leads him inside.
Inside the palace everything is huge and rich. Servants walks past them and soldiers stands by every doorway. The soldiers stares at Katsuya as he and Aton walks past them and Katsuya doesn't like the look in their eyes. Finally Aton stops in front of a door and it gets itself open and shows a throne room. The man leads Katsuya inside and stops in front of the throne and bows. Katsuya stands there staring at the throne in front of him where a man sat staring at them. The man is and wears expensive clothing with a lot of jewels.
"I've come back Pharaoh Imotep" Aton said while bowing "And I brought a servant to you"
Katsuya watched as the Pharaoh turns his eyes at him. Immediately Katsuya lowers hie eyes and stares at the floor. Hoping that he would stop staring at him.
"I don't have need for a servant Aton. Therefore I'm letting you have this boy." Katsuya freezes on the spot and lifts his head up and stares at the Pharaoh.
"If that is your wish" Aton bows once more and exists from the room with Katsuya behind him. Again they starts t walk down the corridors and past many room. They walks inside a room and Aton releases Katsuya from the rope around his wrist. He rubs his wrists and watches as Aton pulls out some cloths from a shelf and pushes them in his arms "Change" and Katsuya looks down at the cloths he got it was a white kilt with a yellow belt to it and a pair of shoes.
When Katsuya changed his clothing he got work to do from Aton. He was sent to the library to clean the floor. While cleaning Katsuya mutters in his brain 'Stupid, stuck up rich bastard.' Katsuya stops and puts a finger on his chin "Probably lazy too" Katsuya says to himself and snickers.
"Who's lazy?" Katsuya freezes and slowly turns around. He sees a white haired boy with a white longer shirt with no sleeves. He has a green belt round his waist and is carrying a pile of papyrus.
Katsuya starts to wave his hands in the air "Nothing" he said quickly.
The white haired boy walks down to Katsuya "Be careful what you are saying in here. There can be guards walking around. I'm Ryou by the way" Katsuya watches as Ryou reaches out his hand to him. At first Katsuya hesitated but shakes the hand "Katsuya."
Ryou gives Katsuya a smile and starts to sort the papyrus "You are new here aren't you?"
Katsuya nods "Yeah"
"Who are you working for?" Ryou says while he puts the last papyrus in the shelf.
"Some guy named Aton" Katsuya said shrugging.
"Aton" Ryou said while thinking "Oh yeah now I remember. Seems like yo are his first servant for what I've heard"
"I'm the only one?!"
"Yes. But don't worry he's not as 'bad' as the other people around here" Ryou whispers the bad part so that only he and Katsuya could hear. "There are more stricter people around here"
"Oh lucky me" Katsuya said sarcastic.
Ryou walks next to Katsuya and whispers in his ear "And watch out for princess Anzu. At first impression she can seem to be nice and likes everyone around her. Many people around here hates her. She likes to boss people around and is obsessed with prince Atemu from the upper Egypt. Even a bad word about him you are running away from the army of Egypt."
Katsuya stares stunned at Ryou "She's that crazy?"
"Yes and I've seen it. I better get going the piles of papyrus isn't going to pile by itself" Katsuya watched as Ryou disappeared behind the shelves and he sits there on the floor by himself.
¨˜"°º•••º°"˜¨
Seth stares around the table at the other priests. Seth groans in his mind out of boredom he hates the meeting they are having every . Single . Morning. He starts thinking that the morning can't get any worse but it just did.
"Isis have you prepared for the meeting of the lower Egypt Pharaoh?" Seth looks to his side and sees priest Mahado staring at Isis.
Isis looks up and stares back at Mahado "The preparations are ready"
Shada who sits opposite Isis crosses his arms over his chest "When are the coming?"
"In four days" Seth mutters. He have never liked when the lower Egypt came to visit. He doesn't mind the Pharaoh but it's his daughter. Last time she was here she bossed around and followed prince Atemu. Seth didn't have the problem with her walking around Atemu but when she talked you could hear all around the palace and it gave everyone a headache. Thinking that when the day would come when she would die Seth would personally dance on her grave even if he must dance on the top of the pyramid.
Soon the meeting ended and Seth walks out of the room. He rounds a corner and sees Atemu sneaking in the hallway "What are you sneaking around for Atemu?" Seth watches as Atemu jumps up in the air and covers his arms over his face "Don't do that Seth" Atemu shrieks.
Seth stares questioning at Atemu and he walks up to him "Why are you sneaking around in your own palace? Wouldn't that be suspicious?"
Atemu lowers his arms and glares at Seth "It's my palace and I do whatever I wish. If I want to laugh I'll do it, If I want to sneak, I will and if I want that loud voiced Anzu to stay away from me-"
"Have you been eavesdropping on our meeting again?"
"Why do you always have to be right" Atemu mutters as he glares at Seth.
"I guess I'm smart" Seth said while smirking
Atemu roles his eyes as he turns his back to Seth "I don't have time with this. I have other things to deal with"
"If it's about your servant Yugi you better break up what you have with him. What happens if the Pharaoh finds out"
"Shut up" Atemu growls as he walks away from Seth. Seth looks as Atemu walks away while stomping his feet's on the floor. Seth lets out a snicker when he continues his walk on the opposite hallway from Atemu.
He reaches his bedroom chamber and opens the door. Seth walks inside and closes the door behind him. He sees a letter on the table next to the door. He picks it up and sits down on a chair nearby and starts to read it. He notices the writing and knows that it's from his younger brother Mokuba.
Seth reads the letter to the beginning and folds it. In the letter Mokuba would visit him in about a thirty days and he looks forward to it. Seth hasn't seen his brother in over half a year since the road to the place where he is takes a long time to travel from where his brother is. He looks out trough the window and watches as the sun starts to lower itself down in the horizon.
¨˜"°º•••º°"˜¨
Atemu stops in front of a door and looks around. When he sees that no one is near he opens the door and closes it quickly. He breath out in relief and walks further in the room. He looks around and sees shelves covered with papyrus with a thick layer dust on them. The room has no windows still Atemu continues to walk forward hoping that he won't stumble on the way.
"Yugi" he whispers in the dark. He hears something moving in the back of the room "Atemu?" the voice whispers.
"It's me. Where are you?" Atemu responses as he stops in the back of the room. He feels as someone grabs his right hand and pulls it. He looks to his right and tries to see trough the darkness. A small light surrounds them and sees a boy with tricoloured hair with blond bangs. He looks almost like Atemu himself except that he has some bangs pointing up. "For a minute I thought it was someone else" Yugi breathed out.
Atemu sits down next to Yugi and pulls him in his arms "I have missed you" he purrs in Yugi's ear and he starts to cover Yugi with kisses.
"So have I. So how did your studies go?" Yugi asks and Atemu pulls himself away from Yugi who gets now worried "Is something wrong?"
Atemu looks down on the floor and clenches his fist "Guess who's coming in four days" Yugi gasps. Yugi knows almost everything about Atemu and the only thing that can make him in this mood is "Anzu" Yugi breaths out.
"The Egyptian plague is coming back" Atemu mutters.
Yugi grabs Atemu's hands in his and looks in Atemu's crimson eyes "How long is she going to stay?"
"Probably until I die" Atemu puts his hand on his arm and stares at Yugi "Ow, Yugi that hurt"
"Don't even joke about it" Yugi warns him.
"With her that doesn't seem impossible since she's obsessed with me" Atemu points out the fact.
Both Atemu and Yugi goes silent while they stares at each other. Atemu opens his mouth and starts to speak again "When she comes we won't have any time for each other" he says with a sad voice.
"I don't understand how her dad can stand out with her" Yugi thinks out loud.
"Maybe he's also hiding away from her" Atemu responses and both he and Yugi goes out in laughter. Atemu got a mental picture in front of him when the Pharaoh hides in a large vase when Anzu is near.
"Enough of her." Atemu suddenly says and he throws himself over Yugi "I haven't lived trough the day to talk about her. The only thing I want is you" Atemu kisses Yugi on the lips forcefully so that the other couldn't protest.
¨˜"°º•••º°"˜¨
Katsuya stretches his arms when he got the floor finally cleaned. He grabs the bucket and starts to carry it out of the room to empty it. In the corridor he sees Aton walking towards him. Katsuya stops and so does Aton.
"Did you finish cleaning the library?" he asks. Katsuya nods "Yes I did... sir" he wanted to throw up when he said master. Aton takes three steps closer to Katsuya and stops right in front of him "I can't remember that I asked what your name is"
"It's Katsuya" Katsuya responds quickly.
"Katsuya" Aton said as he looks more closely at him. "Well then Katsuya. Have you met Ryou?"
Katsuya nods "He'll be showing you where you will be sleeping and tomorrow you will continue your duties" Katsuya looks fro the corner of his eyes when Aton walks past him.
After leaving the bucket in the storage room Katsuya goes directly to find Ryou. Eventually he finds him walking out from the second library in the palace.
"Ryou" Katsuya says when he notices the other boy. Ryou turns around and smiles "Hi Katsuya. I was about to go to find you but since we've found each how's about I'll show where we sleep."
Ryou and Katsuya walks downstairs and finds a door that they walks trough it. Inside there's two separate beds and Ryou sits down on the closest bed to the door. "You'll be sleeping on that one" he said while smiling.
Katsuya nods and lays down on his bed. He closes his eyes and smiles "Finally I'll get some sleep"
"Had a long journey?" Ryou asks as he stares at the ceiling above him.
"Pretty much" Katsuya responds. "How long have you been living here?" Katsuya opens his eyes and turns his head towards Ryou.
Ryou starts to count on his fingers "About five years. I was originally from the upper Egypt" Katsuya who gets more interested by the second leans his head on his hand "What happened?"
Ryou closes his eyes and opens them again "I was living with my boyfriend in his village-"
"So you're gay?" Katsuya puts in and Ryou nods "I still love him. Before I disappeared we have been together for a year. That day it was still morning and I volunteered to get some water for us. Of course Bakura said that I didn't have to but I still said it was okay. It was the last time I saw him."
Katsuya and Ryou goes silent for a moment. "Didn't he go after you?" Katsuya asks.
"I don't know" Ryou responds "Even if he did but by now he might have given up and thinks that I'm dead"
"I have the opposite what you've dealt with" Katsuya says in a low voice. Ryou lifts his head up and stares at Katsuya. "I saw my entire village burned down to the ground. My family, my friends none of them survived." Katsuya swallows and continues "When it happened I sneaked outside and by the time I saw stars falling down from the sky and one of them hit my village. I can't remember what happened during the time I was unconscious."
"How old was you when it happened?" Ryou asks as he gets more closer to Katsuya. "I was about ten years old. After I woke up I met a woman. She took care of me. She learned me to write and read. She was like a mother to me after my real mother died."
"She must have been really nice if she took you as her son" Ryou puts in.
"She was. By the time I was fifteen she got an illness that was killing her inside. I left my studies and started to take care of her." Katsuya closes his eyes and inside his mind he can hear the banging on the door where he and his mother lived in. He opens his mouth "After five days when my mother was at the weakest some bad people burst inside the house and I couldn't do anything. After they took what they were searching for they took me with them. It has been three years now and I still can remember every detail."
Katsuya turns his head and sees Ryou at the point of crying. Katsuya sits up in the bed and stares at him "Ryou. C'mon don't cry. I can't handle when someone cries" and then the waterworks starts. Ryou starts to cry and Katsuya bows his head.
"I *sob * had *sob * no *sob *" Ryou dries the tears away from his eyes and looks at Katsuya "I didn't know *sob * that you had such a hard *sob * life Kat-su-ya" Ryou throws his arms around Katsuya and hugs him.
Katsuya stares at the hugging crying albino. "It's okay Ryou. I'm over it really" he tries to convince him "You don't have to cry"
"I *hic * can't *hic * stop crying *hic *"
"This is going to be a long night" Katsuya sighs to himself.
