''Talking''

Chapter 2

Princess Yuki- A Pain in the Ass!

--

4 years later

A beautiful melody echoed through the throne-room. Ten females kneeled on the floor as they played flute with other musicans. There were also dancers there, making a even better show. After a while the Pharaoh clapped his hands and dismissed them. Every male and female walked put of the throne room and headed to their chambers.

Kyoko plumped down on her bed. This past four years her hair had grown to her knees. Her blue eyes was more serious and her figure wasn't that bad either. Okay all of the boys around the castle turned after her when she walked past them, but she ignored it. None of them were her type anyway.

''What a day. It was even harder to play now than it used to be.'' she sighed.

'Might as well look for Mia and Serena.' she thought and got up. She opened the chamber doors and allmost collied with someone. She looked up and instantly turned her head down.

''Good day my prince. What brings you here?'' she asked, still her head downcast.

''Good day to you too Kyoko. I just want to talk to you. And you may look up now.'' said the young prince Atem. (a/n: Just so u know, they are both 16 years.) Kyoko let him in and closed the door before sitting at the small table with him.

''I'm sorry, my prince, but I am but a simple flutist, while you are the soon-to-be Pharaoh.'' she said.

''Hmpf, still. No one's here, and I hate beeing formal with friends. It's snobby and it makes me feel like an old man.'' he turned his head away in stubborness. Kyoko almost laughed out loud. Always, always he would make her smile, and then she decided to tease him a little.

''Really, my Lord?'' she asked.

''Stop.'' he growled.

''Stop what, my Lord?'' Atems eyebrows twitched. He looked ready to kill someone. Just a little more.

''I told you to stop calling me, my Lord.'' he growled, his eyebrows twitching furiously.

''Well then, maybe I should stop, my Lord?"

"That's it!'' he pinned her down on the floor and started... tickling her?!

''Hahahaha...hihihi... Stop! I beg... you...hahahaha... Atem...'' she managed through her laughter.

''Give up?'' he smirked.

''Yes, yes... I give up... Please!'' tears streamed down her face from her laughing.

''Hah, I win.'' he smirked triumphantly and got off of her.

''Oooh the great prince, Atem, beat a girl at his own age.'' Kyoko teased.

''Kyoko...'' Atem raised his arm.

''Don't you dare.'' she grabbed his arm preventing him from tickling her again.

''Is this a way to act against you Lord?'' he smirked.

''I thought you didn't like being called my Lord, my Lord.'' she stared at him, before they both started laughing.

''Well, before I forget to ask, why did you come here?'' Kyoko asked.

''Father started talking about suitors.'' Atem hung his head.

''That time of the year already?'' Kyoko sighed.

''So you ran over here to hide... but maybe I should tell him...'' she drawled.

''Don't you dare.'' he looked at her with scary eyes.

''Dare me!'' she smiled playfully and ran for it.

''KYOKO!!'' he roared and followed.

Out in the garden:

''Mia, Serena, Mana!'' Kyoko waved as she ran up to them.

''Hi Kyoko, tormenting the prince again, are we?'' Mia asked without even looking up as she picks some flowers to the dinner.

''Me? Tormenting the prince? Nev-ACKH!'' she yelps as prince Atem tackles her from behind.

''GOT YOU!!'' he yelled as they roll around on the soft grass with Mia, Serena and Mana laughing at them. It ended with Atem as the winner, but how they ended up after rolling around was something he didn't foresee. Himself on top of Kyoko, stradling her. He quickly got off while the girls continued to laugh. It seemed like they hadn't noticed anything.

In the throne room:

From the throne room, the Pharaoh watched Atem, Mia, Serena and Mana, encouraging Kyoko to dance.

'It seems like my son would rather be with them than picking a wife.' the Pharaoh thought.

'Not that I blame him.' he thought sweatdropping.

''Pharaoh, the suitors have arrived.'' the high priest, Akunadin, said.

''Ah, thank you, my brother. How is Seth doing?'' the Pharaoh asked.

''He's doing well for an aprentiece, brother.'' Akunadin said, bowed and walked out with a gleam in his eyes.

''Atem.'' the Pharaoh called out. Atem looked up at his father from the garden curiously.

''Yes?'' he called back.

''You must come now. They have arrived.'' the man said before walking away from the window.

''Goodbye my ladies.'' the prince bowed playfully before walking.

''Goodbye prince.'' they replied with their own bows.

What met Atem was too much. Many girls stood there, rich looking girls, and some looked a little poor. They must be the rich looking girls maids or something.

''Ladies, this is my son, Atem, the one to become the next Pharaoh.'' his father told them. Everyone bowed to show their respect. They all looked nice, except one. She was beautiful, but didn't look like she cared for anyone but herself. He hurried over to his father and sat down beside him.

''I see you hesitated when you walked past Princess Yuki.'' the Pharaoh said to Atem as he sat down.

''There's something about her I don't like.'' Atem said closing his eyes. The rest of the week were like: Ooh, Atem pick me, I'll be a better wife than they'll ever be, and stuff like that from Yuki. Finally he couldn't take it anymore, and walked straight to a certain girl's chamber.

Kyoko sat on her bed, practising on her flute when her chamber doors burst open so hard and fast that when the one who threw them open barely managed to get in when they recoiled.

''Eh? Atem?'' she asked puzzled. He never threw open any door like that, and he never looks that angry. She wondered what happened.

''She's so annoying.'' he said sitting down beside her.

''Who?'' Kyoko asked.

''Princess Yuki.'' he answered.

''Oh, that blonde, brown eyed girl from Libya?'' she asked.

''Yes.'' he said.

''Here take this on.'' he ordered handing her a cloak.

''Eh? Why?''

''We're going to the village. Any where but here.'' he said.

''Hai, prince.'' she said and followed him out.

In the village:

Kyoko hadn't been in the village for four years. Back then she was with the other slaves to get groceries for the people in the palace.

''Now when we are here, only call me Yami. Not prince nor Atem, understood?'' he asked. She nodded and followed behind him as they explored the market. Suddenly Kyoko stopped and turned to her left. Atem noticed this and turned his head to see what she had seen.

''What is it?'' he asked as he followed her gaze. She pointed at a white haired cat with amber eyes.

''Isn't she beautiful?'' Kyoko said and walked closer. The cat allowed her to pet her amidiently.

''The cat?'' he raised an eyebrow.

''She's so beautiful.'' she murmured.

''Do you want her?'' he asked.

''Yes, but I don't know if I can afford her.'' Kyoko shook her head sadly and looked at the cat longingly.

''Come on.'' Atem dragged her over to the shop owner.

''How much for that white feline over there?'' he asked.

''But At- Yami...'' she started but he silenced her with a hand.

''Four silver coins.'' the man replied. Atem handed him the silver coins and the shop owner gave it to Kyoko smiling kindly. She smiled herself and thanked him while taking the cat. Later that day, they had sat down on a cafeè (a/n: Don't know if there was any, but it is now). The white cat was craddled in Kyokos lap, and Atem went to find something to drink.

''Now what shall I call you?'' she thought out loud.

''Maybe I'll call you Hope. You look like her, with those amber eyes and white fur.'' the cat purred.

''All right, Hope it is.'' she smiled. Just then, the cat suddenly started to sneer. Two shadows loomed over Kyoko. She turned and her eyes widened.

''I thought there was something familiar about you.'' a man smirked. His clothes were a little thorn, as his companions clothes.

''You... You are...'' she stammered.

''I thought we got rid of all of you.'' the man laughed. She glared at them with fierce eyes.

''Now now. You don't want to make a scene do you? After all, if you fight, these people around us could get hurt. We don't want that do we?'' he leered at her. Her eyes widened in fear. She couldn't fight. The risk of someone innocent getting hurt was too high, and the noises would attract Atem, and she didn't want her best friend to get hurt because of her, and she had a secret to keep. A family secret. She bowed her head and stood up, a sign on that she would follow them without ressistance. The men smirked and walked on either side of her.

Atem had just gotten some water, but when he returned, Kyoko was nowhere to be seen. then he felt fur rube against his leg. He looked down and saw the kitten he had bought to Kyoko.

''What is it, little one?'' he asked. The feline started pushing his leg and then ran for it. He dropped the glass' of water and ran after her. When she stopped, she also stared in front of her. He looked around and saw Kyoko. He was about to call out to her, when he noticed the men that walked on either side of her. They looked like thugs.

'Why on earth is she going with them? What is going on?'he thought. He spotted a horse, he hurried over to the owner and paid him a few silver coins and jumped on the horse taking fixing a part of his cape so he could have the little kitten in it without holding her. He made it go at a gallop and called out to her. She turned and saw him. Her eyes widened again. (a/n: Geez, how many times has she done that?) He held out his hand and she grabbed it. He used the horse's speed to drag her up and out her in front of him while continuing going at a gallop. The men shouted after them and mounted their horses. Atem looked behind him only to see that they were closing in.

'This is no good. They are going to catch us.' he thought.

''Let me down.'' he heard Faith say.

''What?!'' he looked at her shocked.

''It's me they're after. If you let me go, they won't chase you anymore. Please, let me down.'' she pleaded.

''Not in a millenna!'' he yelled and turned his head around to see if there was some place to hide. Then he spotted a cave. He picked up the speed and made a sharp turn into the cave.

''Prince hmph...'' he clamped a hand over her mouth praying to Ra that the thugs wouldn't find them. The thugs moved past them. After a minute he let go of her and jumped down from the horse.

''Tell me whats going on Kyoko.'' he ordered angrily while he helped her down. She just stared at her own feet not saying anything.

''Kyoko tell me now.'' he hissed.

''Get down!'' she yelled and pushed him. He looked up to see...
