Hey people! This is just a fun little story that I wrote. I used to watch Yu-Gi-Oh all the time (mostly because I was obsessed with the guys. I mean, come on, they're attractive!) and wondered what would happen if Yami had had a love interest back when he was the Pharaoh. Add in a power seeking Marik and you get a twisted love triangle (when you think like me). Anyway, read and enjoy!
The small Yami was sitting on the hard stone throne. He ran his finger over the intricate details on the arm rest. He may have been born to be the next Pharaoh, but he was still just a seven year old boy. A bored seven year old boy.
As the next Pharaoh, he was expected to act with dignity and class. He was to be respected. And with such standards set for his future, his "advisors" wouldn't let him goof off like the peasant children and ruin the image Cario would see of him when he ruled.
So he was imprisoned inside. Forced to do nothing but study and "meditate" all day long. He was seven for crying out loud! He didn't want to do boring lessons, he wanted to kick a ball around or play hide and seek.
"Who are you?"
The voice, though small, was enough to disturb the eerie calm of the throne room and startled Yami. He leapt off the throne and whirled around to face the intruder. He was met by a little girl. She wore the traditional garb of the servant girls but in a smaller size. Her brown hair fell past her shoulders. Her eyes- a strange combination of blue, green and grey with brown rings around her pupils- were lit with curiosity.
"Are you a new servant?" She asked. "I've never seen you before."
Yami frowned. "I'm not a servant."
"Well then what are you?"
"I'm to be the next Pharaoh."
The girl's eyes lit up. "Wow! That's so cool!" She gestured around the chamber. "Is this your room?"
"Uh, kind of." He said, his mind still in a state of shock and confusion. "This is where I'm supposed to do my meditations… I don't think you're allowed in here."
"Oh, sorry." She blushed. "I was exploring the pyramid. I didn't know there were rooms I couldn't go in."
"Exploring?" Yami asked, intrigued. "You can explore?"
"I'm five, I can explore if I want to."
"Do you have permission?"
The girl paused, confused. "What's 'permission'?"
Yami smirked. "Are you allowed to explore?"
"Oh," she blushed again. "Well, no one ever said I couldn't… Lady Freya says I should be focusing on becoming a good servant, but it's so much work. I just want to have fun."
A big grin spread over Yami's lips. "You're like me."
"Really?" She asked incredulously.
"Ya." He smiled. "I just want to have fun too."
The girl beamed. "Why don't you come exploring with me then?"
"I'd love to, but…" The smile faded from Yami's face. "I'm supposed to be meditating."
"Oh, but that's no fun!" She pouted. "Can't you take a break?"
"I don't know… I doubt it."
"We'll make it quick!" She grabbed his wrist and pulled Yami toward the door. "It'll be a short adventure. I'll show you the special rooms I found."
"But-"
"Oh, come on! It'll be fun!"
A mischievous smile crept over Yami's face. "Okay."
"Yay!" She smiled and started running down the corridor. "I'll show you my favorite secret places!"
The two children were pressed against the wall, tiptoeing toward the entrance of the throne room. There were voices in the next room and they didn't want to get caught; they were almost home free!
When the talking grew fainter, the girl-who was leading- made a dash for the door, the boy only taking a few seconds to catch up. They ducked behind the large throne and hid, smiling and breathing hard. Their eyes met, and they burst into cautious laughter.
Once he thought the coast was clear, the young Yami stood up, grinning. "That was the best!"
The girl giggled and rose as well. "I told you so!"
"How did you find all of those hidden passageways?"
"I pay attention to detail." She gloated. "If something is weird, I check it out."
"You're smart."
"Thanks!" She said happily, her cheeks a little red. "So you had fun?"
"Are you kidding?" he laughed. "I had more fun with you today than I ever had in my life!"
"Really?" She beamed. "Then we should explore together more often! We could be a team of adventurers!"
"Ya! Partners in exploration! We could get together every day after my studies and your basic servant training!"
A look of horror overcame the girl. "My training! Oh no! They're probably looking for me by now!"
Yami's face dropped. "You have to go now don't you?"
"Ya, I think I'd better." She started toward the door.
"Wait!" Yami called after her and she stopped. "You didn't tell me your name."
She gave him a dazzling smile. "Amelia."
"Amelia." Yami smirked, "I'll request you when you become a full servant. And in return, you have to always be my friend. Okay?"
"'Kay!"
