To Melt the Cold Heart
Summary: Yugi is a slave living with Yami. Both have painful pasts, but the difference is Yami is cold and unwilling to open up to others, while Yugi tries to see the best of everything (Not always, though.) While Yugi is living with Yami as a personal servant, can he save the pharaoh from sinking deeper and deeper into himself, until Yami will no longer have a heart? Find out and read!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, GET THE PICTURE!! The beginning plot is based on the beginning part of the korean drama Myung Lang Soh Nyuh (or something like that), but very loosely, so please don't sue me.
Author's notes: This fic is an AU (Alternate universe) fic. Yami is the pharaoh of Egypt and is about 15 years. He rules at such a young age because his parents died early and because he is the most powerful mage in all of Egypt. Yugi is a poor commoner about the age of...lets say...10. Ack, just look below for ages!
Yami-15
Jazella-15
Yugi-10
Jou-14
Shizuku-12
For each chapter, I will add the new character's age.
One more thing: I know this is taking place in Egypt, but Yami is sometimes called Ya-chan by Jazella. And maybe the occasional konnichiwa or ____- chan, or gomen. Now, I know that's in Japan but I just felt like putting it in there so deal with it!
Now, on with the story!
~Chapter One~
"Grandpa, need help?" It was a typical day for Yugi Motou. He walked in, returning from buying their daily food supply.
"No, Yugi, I'll be fine. You go along and play. You are done, with your chores, are you not?" The old man asked.
"Yes, Grandpa." Yugi answered obediently. Then he went off laughing, searching for his neighboring friends.
Yugi Motou was a young boy, pretty short for his age. He had cheerful, violet eyes with multicolored hair. His expressive eyes revealed pure innocence in the child, and always seemed to sparkle with joy no matter what the situation. His golden bangs hung playfully over his eyes, as he ran to catch up to his friends. Yugi lived the life of a poor commoner during the reign of the mighty Pharaoh Yami. Life as a lowly position was harsh, but it had it's perks from time to time, such as now while Yugi enjoyed the freedom nobles did not have. They couldn't prance about freely, and play, otherwise they'd ruin their reputation. Still, Yugi had gone through hard times. The young boy still vividly remembered his painful past. His mother was someone he had never known who had died giving birth to him, while his abusive father abandoned him to join the dreaded Ryou Bakura's gang of thieves, which is why Yugi now lived with his grandfather. And, to make things worse, Pharaoh Yami, who could care less about commoners, taxed them heavily, forcing Yugi's grandpa and him to work extra hard.
Pharaoh Yami...now there was a name to strike fear and submission. Pompous, haughty, merciless, caring nothing about lowly commoners, but still very powerful. The only person who could push him around was his high priestess Jazella, another powerful mage. With massive dark powers assisted by his priests and magicians, he controlled the Shadow Games, a powerful force that was rumored to take place in another dimension. But, like Yugi, Yami too has had a not-too-happy past. Once a kind and caring person, he was only this way when his beloved lover Anzu was alive. Now, with his past lover killed by Bakura's gang who raided the palace, Yami has been transformed into the hard person he was now. Still enraged by the death of his beloved, Yami has vowed to revenge her death and has ordered the capture of this gang. Still, he has not succeeded.
At the moment, the said person was pacing agitatedly around in his royal chambers.
"Argh, where is that despicable gang?!? Bakura can be one clever robber, but he isn't smart enough to evade me and my Shadow powers for much longer!" Yami muttered, clearly frustrated.
Just then, the door opened and in pranced the high priestess, Jazella. Actually, she was quite young, Yami's age, in fact. "Oh, Ya-chan, how are you today?" The teen asked in her arrogant yet beautiful voice.
Yami growled dangerously, "_Don't_ call me that."
Ignoring the last comment, Jazella just giggled and latched onto Yami's arm. Yami barely had enough control to restrain himself from strangling the girl. 'If she wasn't such an important person, I would've gotten rid of her years ago!! Ra, she's so damn annoying!' Yami thought angrilly.
"Oh, Ya-chan, I'm tired of doing silly magic spells, why don't we go out and just explore the city! Please, Ya-chan???" The girl made her best cutest puppy face.
Ignoring the bait, Yami just said in a voice clearly showing annoyance, "We went just a few days ago, why do you want to go out again?"
"Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase?" Jazella batted her eyelashes.
Yami sighed. He may be the all powerful pharaoh, but when it came to Jazella, it was too tiring to refuse. If he refused even her slightest request, she would pout and pester him all day until she got what she wanted.
"Alright, alright, keep your hair on." Yami cried.
Jazella squealed and hugged the pharaoh tightly. Again, Yami had to control himself. If he displeased her too much, he was risking losing the second most powerful mage in all of Egypt (he was number one of course). Not that he couldn't control her. It's just that Yami really didn't feel up to fighting another powerful mage, as it would leave him weakened, even though it was garunteed he would win.
Yami signalled the gaurds to ready his chariot. 'Please let today be better than the last day with this crazy lass,' Yami prayed to Ra as he boarded the magnificent carriage.
*****************
Yugi and his friends stopped playing to marvel at the pharaoh passing by. The crowds parted obediently as the chariot went by. Awing at the regal sight, Yugi heard a voice whispering in his ear. It was Ushiro, a savage bully in Yugi's town who harassed those younger then him just to get money. It was also the same guy whom Yugi had just recently beaten in a duel monsters game.
"You admire the richness of the mighty one, don't you? You must know of his temper then." He sneered.
Yugi just shrugged good naturedly. "I have heard of how he is, but I don't know if they're true. They may be yet just rumors."
"Why don't you find out for yourself!" Without warning, the cowardly brute roughly shoved the younger boy towards the royal carriage.
