SECOND CHAPTER! Yay! R&R enjoy! "talking" 'thoughts'

DISCLAIMER! I do NOT own Yugioh.

MANA'S POV

I ran out of the room and sat back down on the couch.

"Mana?" I heard Atem say.

"Yes?" I answered, nervous. 'Did he see me?' I asked myself.

"We should probably get going." He said. He got up and walked over to the door.

'Oh thank Ra! He didn't see me!' I thought joyfully. "Yeah, lets go" I walked over and opened the door.

We walked for hours in silence. 'I wonder what he's thinking?' I asked myself as I stole a glance at Atem, who was looking at the sky.

"HEY YOU!" I looked in the direction the shout came from. It was a girl on a horse. She was pulling another horse with her. "Are you lost?" She said as soon as she came up to us.

"Yes. Can you help us?" Atem asked, walking up to the girl.

"Hey, I know who you are...Your the Pharaoh! Of course I'll help you! The name's Bella." She said, happily. I thought it was too happy.

"Thanks." I said, and Atem got on the horse.

"Oh, you can get on with me..um..." I cut her off.

"Mana." I said, but I did want to ride with Atem.

"Mana." She repeated. I sat behind Bella, and we started to the palace.

Atem was riding next to Bella and me. I saw Bella glancing at him. I did not like this girl. Bella had dark blond hair that went down to her waist, dark blue eyes, and she was very tan.

"Hey Pharaoh, how did you get out here anyway?" Bella asked, smiling at him.

"Well.." I cut him off.

"It was my fault, I screwed up a spell and accidently transported us here. I left my spellbook at home so I couldn't get us back." I said.

"Oh... I wasn't asking you.." Bella whispered so quietly I could barely hear it.

"Hey Bella, do you have any food?" Atem asked, hopefully.

"Yes I do." Bella stopped the horse and got off. Atem got off, and so did I. Bella reached into a bag. "Oh, it seems I'm all out..But my house isn't far! We can get some food there!" She got back on the horse and so did we. She led us in a different direction. Not back where we come from, but a different direction.

We rode for a few minutes before we came to a small village. A few people said hello and many of the girls were staring at Atem. I gave them the evil look. We entered a small house near the edge of the town.

"My parents are out. You can go look in the kitchen to see what you want Pharaoh." Bella smiled and pointed to the door on the other side of the house. Atem walked over and opened the door.

"The Pharaoh is MINE, Mana." Bella said and smiled evily.

"What are you talking about? He doesn't even know you!" I said.

"Yeah, and he knows you SOO well." She said sarcasticly.

"Acually, we have been friends for years!" I growled at her.

"Well if he knew you for that long and he hasn't made a move... He probably doesn't love you!" She growled back.

I was hurt, she was right, but I still had hope! The dream that I had gave me hope. Also when I kissed him, I wanted to know what it was like to kiss him when he was awake. "He will never love you."

"Maybe not now, but he will, you'll see." Bella laughed a little.

"NEVER!" I yelled.

"I'll make a bet with you. If he falls for me, you have to... tell the Pharaoh your darkest secret, then leave.

"If I win then you have to run around the palace covered in mud, honey and feathers screaming I'M A DANCING HIPPO for an hour, then you leave." I said, happy with my suggestion.

"Harsh, but its a deal!" Bella said. Then Atem came out eating an apple.

"Hello Pharaoh!" Bella said, walked up to Atem, and slipped her arm around his neck.

Atem gently took her arm off him and moved away slightly. "Hi" He said. Bella made a sad face. I made a happy face.

"How much farther till we reach the palace?" Atem asked, walking over and standing next to me. I stuck my tounge out at Bella. She looked really sad.

"We still have about two days to travel." She said.

"Oh, then lets go!" He said then exited the house.

"You may be winning now, but just wait." Bella said following Atem out the door. I left too.

Atem got back on his horse, Bella got on hers. 'Should I take the chance and get on with Atem?' I asked myself. I desided to take the chance. I walked over to Atem, Bella's eyes widened. Then she got a very angry look on her face.

"Atem, can I ride with you?" I asked.

"Sure, why not." Atem said and helped me up. Bella was very angry.

I put my arms around Atem, enjoying it very much.

"Come on lets go." Bella said, angrily.

We started off to the palace, I don't know about Atem, but I was very happy with our closeness. I leaned on him and closed my eyes.

We rode for a few hous until it started to get dark. I could fell Atem's heartbeat. It was very soothing. We suddenly stopped.

"We should set up the tents that I brought. Sadly I only have two." Bella said looking at Atem.

When we got the tents set up I noticed how small they were. Bella said they were able to hold about three people, but I seriously doubted it. I bet I knew why they were so small. It was another attempt to get close to Atem.

"I'll sleep in this one." Bella said and walked to the one on the right. Atem walked to the other one. I smiled, he totaly wasn't into Bella. 'Now which one should I go in.' I walked over to Atem's since I really didn't want to go with Bella. He was sitting on the floor.

"Atem Is it ok if I sleep in here? I don't really want to go in with Bella, I barely know her.." I asked blushing slightly.

"Sure Mana, I don't mind." Atem responded. I smiled.

I sat down next to him. He laid down, I laid down too. He turned and smiled at me, I felt my heart flutter and I blushed. If only he knew what he was doing to me.

"Good night Mana." He said and closed his eyes.
