Neko: Hay guys, thank you so much for review/commenting on my first chapter of it. I just want to say to anonamouse (I think that's your user name) that I know that back in ancient Egypt that it was normal for a brother and sister of royalty to be in love and get married. I only put that title 'cause I really like the name of the story. I mean come on you have to admit that the title of the story is awesome! XD But yeah maybe I shouldn't put that title but I did 'cause the title sounds cool.
Yugi: Uh…Neko what if she's talking about when you put the summery of the story saying 'but can Atemu protect his feelings for her?'
Neko: Oh yeah, then it's also because Yugi and Atemu don't know about that rule I guess 'cause their father was the only child in his family so he didn't have a sister. But honestly I don't know how to answer that one; I mean we'll see how the story goes so far ok?
Yugi: Yeah I guess that kinda made since.
Neko: Oh well, anyways Yami why not you say the lines now.
Yami: Ok, Neko does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! (As much as she wished she does). She also does not make any money for this Fanfic. So enjoy reading her story.
Neko: IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-DUEL!! XD
Yami: -_-
Neko:…Sorry. ^_^'
~Chapter 2 Brother And Sister~
**Yugi's POV**
-16 Years later in Ancient Egypt-
Greetings to those who don't know me my name is Yugi and I am known as Princess of Egypt. I was of course born and raised here in Egypt with my Father the Pharaoh Akunumkanon, and my dear older Brother the crown Prince, Atemu.
Right now I am outside at the kingdoms garden. It's very beautiful really; it has great trees, many types of flowers, and there's a pond that has Lotus flowers floating on it.
I went up to the pond, bend down and picked one of them up. I slowly smell the beautiful Lotus flower that I just picked up and smile to myself.
You know Lotus flowers reminded me of that one time while I was four and Atemu was six that I accidentally fell into this bond.
-Flash back 12 years ago still Yugi's POV-
I was outside playing in the garden again, it was boring though because I usually play with my big brother. But now he's busy with his studies again.
I then sighed.
"I miss playing with big brother." I said out loud, I then saw what looked like a small bird. It landed on top of a Lotus flower. I walked towards it and when I try to get the bird I fell into the pond.
I then started to drown (Since I didn't know how to swim at the time). I then closed my eyes everything turned black. I actually thought that I died, but when I opened my eyes I saw big brother screaming my name over and over again.
"Yugi! Yugi are you alright?!" He asked and shouted at the same time, I then coughed out of water.
"Big…brother…?" I asked, but instead of answering big brother started hugging me very tightly.
"Thank the gods that you're alright!" He said, I then hugged him back and started to cry.
"I…I was so scared big brother. I thought that I was actually going to d-die!" I said still crying.
"Shh, there, there now. It's alright I'm here, I'm here. There's nothing to worry about, your safe and that's all it matters." He said smiling at me. I then was trying to stop crying so that I can smile back at him.
"Thanks big brother." I said to him. He then stopped hugging me and walked towards the pond and picked up one of the Lotus flower. He walked back to me and put the Lotus flower under my right ear.
"That Lotus flower will show you that I will always be there for you. And that I will always protect you." He said I then smiled at him.
"OK!" I said out loud, he then smiled back at me. He took my hand so that we can go inside the palace together.
-End of Flash still Yugi's POV-
I then sighed happily because whenever I see a Lotus flower it would remind me that Atemu will always be there for me…always.
"Yugi!" Once I heard that familiar voice I turned around and smiled happily. Still hold the Lotus flower.
"Hay Atemu what's up?" I asked my brother.
"Oh nothing much" After saying that, he started looking around the garden. "So this is where you've been hiding." He said teasingly.
"I was not hiding; I was relaxing that's all." I said while pouting a little. Atemu then started laughing a little.
"Sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to teas you. It's been a while since I did stuff like that to you. Please forgive me." He said while looking at me with those puppy dog eyes of his. I then stopped pouting and smile sweetly at him.
"Aw, how could I stay mad at you?" I said to my older brother. I then gave him my hug of forgiveness. After I gave him my hug he holds out his hand.
"May I?" He asked, at first I didn't know what he meant but when I remember the Lotus flower in my hand. I then stop having my confusing look I had and gave him the Lotus flower.
He put the beautiful white flower behind my ear. He then looked at my face and smiled.
"You look great with the Lotus flower, it makes you look…beautiful." He said. I then blushed a little at that comment, which I hate doing that 'because it makes me feel weird inside. I mean this is my brother that made me blush; he always does that without even noticing it.
Sometimes I wonder if the gods wanted me fall for my brother. I don't know why but for a long time now I have been having feelings towards Atemu. I know it is wrong but it still want's me to be with him… forever.
**Atemu's POV**
I then look at my dear sister Yugi, the women that I have starting to have feelings to. But now I fear that if I ever told my feelings to my sister, she would probably think that I'm a disgusting creature.
So from now on I will never tell her how I feel, even as of now. But sometimes I wish that she feel the same towards me, and then maybe it would be easier for me. I mean I don't know how long I can hold on to this much longer.
Yugi then smiled at me after saying my complement of how beautiful she looks (which is true) with the Lotus flower behind her ear. She said "Thank you." to me and walked to our pet cat *Bast and started petting her.
'Sometimes I wish that Yugi wasn't my sister, sometimes I wish that she was someone else.' I thought a little sad, but then I thought 'But if she wasn't my sister, I probably wouldn't have known her after all. So I'm glade that she is my little sister that I love dearly.'
Yugi then walked back to me while carrying our cat.
"So Atemu, why are you here exactly? I mean aren't you supposed to be at the meeting with Father?" She asked, I then petted Basts head.
"Well I came here to remind you of what tomorrow's event is." I answered still petting Basts fur.
"Oh really, what's tomorrow's event then?" She asked again.
"Guess you should know what it is." I said, Yugi then thought carefully and finally found out what it is.
"Ah, it's your 18th birthday isn't it?!" She said surprised by the fact that she almost forgot my birthday.
"Yep that's right." I said to Yugi, she then gave Bast to me and left from my sight. I started wondering why she was running in such a hurry.
"Hay! Where are you going?" I shouted to Yugi.
"I need to get something; I'll be going to the market store to get it." She answered; I was then going to ask her if she would like me to come with her. But she already went to her room.
I then sighed and looked at Bast and was petting her now.
"Well Bast, I guess it's just you and me now." I said, and all I got as a reply from the black cat was a yawn. I then laughed and sated walking with Bast in my arms.
**Yugi's POV**
"Oh dear mighty god Ra, I can't believe that I forgot my own brothers birthday. I need to quickly get his present before sunset." I said to myself while getting ready to go to the market place to get a present for Atemu.
"Ok let's see, money got it, a small dagger (just in case something happens to me) got it, and my bracelet (just in case if I have to notify that I am Princess of Egypt) got it. Well I have to go now." I said, I then was about to leave but then I just remembered something important.
"Oh that's right, my cloak." After saying that; I put on my dark brown cloak so that I can hide my true identity.
Someone then came in to my room it was Joe; one of my servants and probably a best friend a girl can ever have.
"Hay Yugi where are you going?" She asked seeing me wearing my cloak.
"I'm going to the market place right now. So if you see my Father or the priests let them know ok?" I asked her, she then put her thumbs up.
"No problem Princess." Joe said, I then turned around looking at her angry like.
"I told you not to call me Princess Joe!" I said Joe then waved her hand up and down.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. I have a question though why are you going to the market place by yourself? You usually go there with Atemu right? So why are you going there all of a sudden?" She asked several questions. I then kinda felt a bit embarrassed of why I'm going.
"Well…I forgot that tomorrow is Atemus birthday so I need to buy him a present before it's too late." I answered, she then came up to me and raffled my hair a little.
"Aw ain't that cute of you to buy Atemus present at the last minute!" She said out loud.
"Shh be quite I don't want anyone to know why. OK" I said while covering Joe's mouth.
"Ok, got it. Well then see ya latter Yug. And be carful while your out there ok." She said.
"Ok" I replied to my friend. I then soon walked out the palace, and went to the market place.
~End of the Chapter~
*Bast is actually a nick name to the Egyptian cat goddess name Bastet. She is my favorite Egyptian goddess. I mean I love cat's since I was very young, I mean that's why my username is NekoChan707.
