Some day, Yugioh shall belong to me! BWAHAHA!...Just kidding. Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi.
"WHAT!? I HAVE TO CLEAN ALL THIS!?" Mana yells, her jaw dropping to the floor. She stands next to Mahad, looking at the enormous sized room. There is nothing in it but an enormous bed. It is really dusty there and the walls could use some cleaning.
"This is what happens when you don't continue your studies like you're supposed to," says Mahad with his arms folded and Mana groans.
"Just what is this room for anyway?" Mana asks.
"This will be the room Princess Teana will be staying in." Mana narrows her eyes at the thought of her. Whenever she hears Teana's name, it just makes her shutter and get angry. She is possibly the only thing that could make her mad. "Well you better start now. Princess Teana will be here soon and I don't think she'll approve of having such a dirty room."
"I think it'll suit her," Mana says with a grin but yelps when Mahad whacks her upside her head. "Ow! What was that for!?"
"You and your side remarks," he says walking away. "Hurry up now."
A pail and a sponge materializes in her hand and she starts off with the walls first.
"'Hurry up,' he says. 'I don't think she'll approve of having such a dirty room,'" she mutters under her breath and sighs, continuing to scrub the walls until they were clean.
Much later…
Mana lies back on her bed with her arms wide, feeling exhausted. Cleaning the room had taken her a long time to do, but she was glad that it was all over.
"Ah, I see you're done with everything," Mahad says walking in with a smile. Mana didn't say anything for she is really tired. All she wants to do now is take a nap.
"That's good. But I'm afraid you have to scrub the floors of the throne room. Get up now," he says and walks away with a smirk on his lips.
Mana whimpers, hearing that she has to do even more work. "Gosh, I didn't think I would get this much punishment. Master is being very strict."

"Atem, where are you taking me?" Teana asks with her eyes closed as Atem leads her somewhere.
"Just keep your eyes closed," he instructs, continuing to walk down the long hall until he reaches a room. "Alright, you can open your eyes now."
Teana slowly opens her eyes and smiles, seeing the bedroom that she would be staying in. It is very spacious and the bed has a red silk blanket on it, very suited for royalty. She also has a balcony to look over Egypt. "This is all mine?"
"Yes."
"It's…beautiful Atem. Thank you!" she exclaims and hugs him with excitement.
'Don't thank me. Thank Mana,' he thinks, hugging her back. "Why don't you get yourself situated?"
"Alright," she replies.
"I'll be back."
Meanwhile…
Mana collapses on the hard floor of the throne room, now totally exhausted. Cleaning the throne room had taken even longer than cleaning Teana's room.
"I'm so tired," she groans, resting her head on the floor and closing her eyes. "Maybe I should just lie here…" It isn't long until she hears someone calling her. 'Oh Ra, don't let it be Mahad. Okay, if it's Mahad, I'm making a run for it.'
"Mana," the voice calls again and she opens her eyes, recognizing the voice. Her eyes lift up to Atem, standing above her. "Are you alright?"
"I can't…feel…my arms," she replies and he crouches down to her.
"Mahad giving you chores?"
"I feel like I'm a slave or something." Atem chuckles before standing up straight.
"Well maybe you'll feel better if you get to bed, so let's go," he says turning away.
"Uh…Prince?" He turns back to her. "I can't move." He bends down with his back to her.
"Get on."
"Prince?"
"Go ahead. It's alright." She slowly gets up on his back and he stands up, carrying her with ease. She remembers on how he used to do this when they were kids. There was one time where she had skinned her knee and he had carried her on his back to the palace. Even when he is king, he still helps her out and treats her no different.
They reach her room and she gets into bed.
"You didn't have to do this prince," she says while he puts the covers over her.
"Then how would you get to your room?"
"I could've dragged myself here. It probably would've taken me longer but at least I wouldn't be bothering you."
"Mana you're my closest friend. You're not bothering me at all." Mana smiles and he smiles back at her. "Get some rest."
He leaves the room, closing the door behind her. He jumps slightly, seeing Teana standing there against the wall. "You startled me. Is there something you need?" he asks.
"What were you doing in Mana's room?" Teana asks.
"I was only checking in on her. She's…not feeling well," he replies and she raises an eyebrow.
"So you took care of her?"
"Yes. Is there something wrong with that?"
"Pharaohs shouldn't do such things. That is the job of one of the servants," she explains walking up to him. "Besides you should be spending more time with me rather than with little Mana."
"But she's my friend."
Teana shakes her head. "She's doesn't even have royal blood. She's nothing but a low life and someone as high and mighty as you shouldn't be around someone like that. When she perfects her magic, she'll only be a servant and nothing more."
"Come on Prince, say something," Mana whispers, listening from the other side of her door.
"I suppose you're right," she hears him reply and she slowly sinks down to the floor, placing a hand on the left side of her chest, feeling hurt.

Priestess Isis sits in front of a blue flame that night, concentrating hard on the Millennium necklace. With the Millennium necklace, she could look into the future.
"Millennium necklace, allow me to see the events to come." The blue flame rises and different images flow into her mind quickly. She gasps, opening her eyes.
"We are great danger," she says, continuing to look into the flame.

Mahad knocks on Mana's door the next morning for her usual training. Of course he has trouble getting her out on time as always. "Mana! For once would you answer me when I call you!?" he yells.
"I'm sorry Master, but I can't train with you today!" she yells back from the other side and he sighs heavily.
"Why not!?"
"I'm feeling under the weather!"
"But you were just fine yesterday!"
"Well I'm not today!"
Mahad rubs his temples from an upcoming headache. To deal with everyday is frustrating and tiring as well.
"What seems to be the problem?" Teana asks, walking up to Mahad and he immediately bows in respect.
"I'm sorry Princess Teana. Did I disturb you this early in the morning?" Mahad asks.
"You have not. But why were you yelling?"
"It seems that something is wrong with my student, Mana. She refusing to come out and train."
"Leave this to me," she says opening the door and closing it behind her. Mana, who is sitting with her knees close and her head down, quickly raises her head and looks in surprise to see Teana there.
"What are you doing here?" Mana asks and Teana smirks, seeing Mana's eyes puffy and red, probably from crying.
"I wanted to ask you the same thing young Mana. Shouldn't you be with your teacher?"
"Why do you care?"
"He tells me that you're sick. But all I see is that you have been crying. Why?"
"I heard your little talk with Pri-I mean Pharaoh."
"Oh you mean the one about you being a low life?"
"I am no low life," Mana says, narrowing her eyes at Teana and she only grins.
"But you are young Mana. Your parents were poor. And now since you're living here in the palace, you think you have high standards." Mana bows her head. "You can never run away from your roots young Mana."
"Stop calling me that! I'm sixteen for your information."
"Yet you're younger than me." Mana grunts. "Seriously Mana, why are you here?"
"What do you mean why am I here?" Mana asks as Teana sits beside her.
"You're nothing but a low life. You should be one of my servants."
"I'll never work for you."
"But you will. For I shall be Queen soon. And once I am, you'll be treated like the low life you are."
"Pharaoh will never allow you to do that."
"But he will young Mana. If you didn't hear, he thought of you the same way." Mana's eyes widen, remembering the conversation yesterday. He did agree with Teana. Maybe he never thought of her as a friend in the first place. Maybe Teana is right. Maybe she should leave. "You're nothing compared to us."
"Shut up!" Mana yells, quickly getting up.
"It's only the truth." Mana rushes out of her room, past Mahad, who is starting to call her but she keep running. She runs out of the palace and out of the palace walls, rushing past people that were living outside the palace. They pay no attention to her though and continue to live their normal lives.
Mana runs into the hot desert, the sanding making it hard for her to run, but she keeps running anyway. Sweat forms on her forehead from the hot sun beaming down on her. Soon she is in the middle of nowhere. Her pace slows down and she is only walking.
'I'm nothing but a low life. I don't deserve to be in the palace. And I have no one living anywhere else. So I don't belong anywhere.' She passes out on the sand, lying their motionless. Slowly the sand starts to cover her body until she is completely buried.
That's it for now. Review me please. It helps me to…er…review faster! Yeah that's it! So send in the reviews!
