Bakura: "No, just no!"

Me: "He is moving in and that's final!"

Bakura: "Fine then I'm moving out!" *Takes a hand full of items, and leaves while slaming the door*

Ryou: "Do you think we pushed him too far!? I mean, what if he doesn't come back?"

Me: "Oh he will. Don't worry Ryou. By the way, you are doing a perfect job at making him jealous."

Ryou: "Thanks, So far all of you fans who are wondering, this next chapter is told from my point of view! Please enjoy!"


Ugh my head hurts, and my stomach, and my feet, and... and everything! The sand was hot under my feet as t stood outside the palace walls. I had left for only a few days to go see an old friend, but sadly he had past away. I was so depressed at the time that I just started walking home, and didn't stop till I reached the palace walls, two days later.

I was let in a few minutes later as one of the guards recognized me. As I walked through the palace walls many greeted me with a smile, glad that I had returned. I soon arrived at my room, I quickly went in and threw my self on to my small bed and quickly passed out.


I was awaken by a loud raping at my door. I opened the door to see my closets of friends, a servant girl named Amane.

"Healer Ryou it is so good to see you again. I hope your journey was a safe and happy one."

"Good day Amane. My journey was not a happy one, for the friend I went to see had passed away." I finished with a sad smile.

"My apologies Healer Ryou. I wished you could have seen him one last time." Amane put a gentle hand upon my shoulder.

We had been friends for many years. She had been the first person I had ever healed.

We were only children then, she was a servant in the palace, while I lived an orphan's life in the small village surrounding the palace. I had found her coughing up blood next to the palace walls. I couldn't just leave her there slowly dieing, so I picked her up and carried her to the Nile river.

She had cautiously asking question on what I was doing. I had simply told her that I was going to help her lungs. She was confused as to how I knew that her lungs were the problems, but she let me continue.

I had wrapped her chest in some seaweed dipped in herbs. This was hard considering I refused to look at her bare chest. I had told her to eat blend of herbs and spices that I had created, and then sent her on her way.

When illness had suddenly disappeared, she told everybody about the white haired boy that had healed her. The Pharaoh had called for the guards to find me and bring me to him. Needless to I was terrified when many palace guards found the spot in which I curled up at night, and took me to the palace, with only telling me that the Pharaoh had summoned me.

My fears were put to rest when the Pharaoh had asked me to live in the palace with him, on the condition if I became a healer for him and his people. For a poor homeless boy as myself, this is was a dream offer. Even if I had wanted to say no, and trust me I did not, I would never be able to tell the Pharaoh no... I was not that brave (or dumb).

Amane and I had become close friends as we grew together. She had grown to be a beautiful, young lady. Dark tan skin, big round emerald colored eyes, light brown, wavy hair, dim red lips, high cheekbones that gave her the ability to seem cold, she was a beauty among us.

Many men had fancy Amane before, but many retreated out of respect for me. Once they saw me and her together they believe they were fighting a lost cause. That no matter the ways they tried to gain her affections that I would be there to pull them down. They believe that Amane had love for me and that we would soon accept this and would wed. They were wrong.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Amane. The thought of sharing a bed with her though, sends repulsive shivers down my spine. It is not that she is ugly, like I said earlier, she is quite lovely, but I cant see her as my partner. She holds a part of my heart that a sister would hold. I will always be there for her, but as a older brother, anything else seems to be... abhorrent.

"Healer Ryou, why don't we go browse through the garden? During your absence the servants add some new plants and flowers to the Royal Garden. They are simply gorgeous. Would you like to see?"

"Very much so. Lead the way Amane."

Amane softly smiled and began her path to the garden. We walked through the busy corridors, servants scampering every which way, all slightly bowing as they came across me. I hated it.

The all tucked there heads in to their chest as I walked by, I never like that. I knew that I was above the rank of a servant, as Head Healer I was just under the rank of the Priests. That never meant anything to me, I didn't feel as if people had to lower themselves while I was near. Amane was the only servant that would never lower herself, except in greetings and departures. I wish they would treat me like I was nothing special.

When we arrived at the garden, sure enough there was a whole new section full of plants that I had never seen before, except in scrolls. The garden was very simple, even with the large amount of plants and flowers overflowing from it. There were vines that crawled there was up the walls, there was a small dirt path that went through the garden. The center piece of this was a granite statue of the God Ra, the Sun God.

"See over there Healer Ryou. The flowers with the red outline on each petal."

I looked in the direction in which she was pointing to see violet flowers, with red contouring the edges of the petals. I walked to the blossom, with Amane following, and studied it with a sharp eyes. While Amane saw a lovely flower I saw a healing agent. "This flower would do well to heal infections, specifically ones in the stomach."

I hear Amane give a small sigh next to me. She was always bringing me to the gardens to try and get me to see the beauty of it all. I saw the beauty, but it was never a lasting thoughts, they were always quickly replaced with what each plant would best be suited for.

I have had this ability of mine for as long as I can remember. I can just look at a plant and I am able to tell what they would best be used for when it comes to healing. The ideas just pop into my head. They have never been wrong.

The sound of a low pitched ringing went through the palace, it was time for supper. Amane turned towards me and gave a friendly smile. "I must be heading out Healer Ryou, I have to help serve supper. Goodbye." Amane gave a slight bow of her head, then quickly heading her way to the dinning hall or kitchen.

I started on my way to the dining hall. A small sigh escaping through my lips. I didn't feel like chatting with the other dwellers of this palace. I soon arrived and stat quietly in my seat. Immediately I was attacked with questions of my journey, I didn't answer any of them because it was hard to even understand the questions being asked with everybody asking different things at the same time.

Soon a loud bang on the table made everybody freeze and look towards the source. Sure enough it was the Pharaoh, a kind smile plastered on his face. " Let the boy breath!" He laughed. "Healer Ryou, why don't you tell us what happened on your trip to all at this table. This way all hear without you having to repeat yourself."

"Gladly My Pharaoh." I stood and look calmly to the people surrounding the table. "My journey was not a happy one, by the time I had arrived to the town, he had already passed away. Thus my journey was quite pointless, and tiring."

Many people dropped there heads to mourn over my lost friends, some even praying. Priest Seth was the first to respond, "I am sorry to hear this, as I am sure the others feel the same way. We are happy to have out healer have a safe journey." He gave me a soft smile then returned to his food.

I smiled, "Thank you Priest Seth." I went to start on my food as well.

Soon dinner was over and I found my self being called over by Pharaoh Atem. "Yes my Pharaoh?"

"Healer Ryou. Amane is waiting in your room to speak with you on a rather urgent matter, I would advise you to head that way, and speak with her soon."

I gave Pharaoh Atem a quick bow. "Then if your will excuse me my Pharaoh. I will go see to this matter." He dismisses me and I quickly head over to me room, I throw open the door to see Amane rush through the balcony curtains, with wide round eyes. "Ryou! What is the matter!"

I fling the door shut and flash to her side. "Amane! The Pharaoh said you had something urgent to speak to me about. Is everything all right? Were you harmed in my absence? Did..."

"Ryou! Calm my friend! I am fine. I simply must discuss the matter of a marriage arrangement."

My head was swimming. Marriage arrangement? Who was getting married?

'Amane, would you please explain?" I spoke once I had regained control.

She let out a soft sigh. "During you journey, a wealthy merchant came to stay at the palace. I was assigned to look after him. We grew close, and the day he was suppose to leave he asked the Pharaoh if he could buy me, so that he could release me. That way we could wed. He wanted to marry me. He said that he had fallen in love with me. When I was brought forth and asked of my feeling I said that a spark had began to form in my heart. The Pharaoh said that I could leave with him if I wished. The Merchant, or Yuko, was thrilled, but I said that I would not leave with him.

"He asked me why I would not go with him. I told him about you, I told him that I would not wed till I had your blessing. So here I stand my dear friend, asking if you have any complaints to this?"

I felt my head swimming. So much information to consume. Amane wanted to wed? To this Yuko guy? She wanted my blessing? So many things but I knew that I could give her my blessing, but I had to know one thing first.

"Do you love him?"

"Yes."

That was all I need to hear. If she loved him then I knew she would be happy. "Then I give you my blessing."

Amane face snaps up with a huge grin on her face. "Thank you Ryou! I'm sure your going to love him! And yes of course you get to meet him! He will be back in a week's time, then you can meet him!" With that she gives me a small peck on the cheek and runs out of the room, yelling something about going to spread the good news.

I chuckle softly to myself. Amane was going to make a wonderful bride and mother, for this Yuko was a lucky man.

I started to prepare myself for bed as I suddenly feel very tired. I remove all the articles of clothing except the kilt and slowly crawled into bed. Today had been a long day, but I had a feeling tomorrow was going to be even worse.


Me: "I finished Chapter Two!"

Bakura: " 'Bout bloody time."

Me: "I knew you would be back."

Bakura: "I had to. You were taking so bloody long to wright this chapter."

Me: "Every time I tried to write, things kept coming up, or I was to stressed! I wrote this Chapter to celebrate the end of my state testing! And for Ashton, she gave me the push I need to write again!"

Ryou: "Thanks Ashton!"

Bakura: "Bloody hell. Are you going to be writing regularly now?"

Me: "Probably not for another few weeks, when school ends and I have the time. But I will try! I promise! I'm sorry for taking s long to update! I love you all!"

Bakura: "Freak..."

Ryou: "Please Rate and Review. O and does anybody know how to spell the female version of Priest? Stay tune for the next chapter please!
