Kazue: YELLO~! I'm excited people. This is chapter two. Remember to read all the top and bottom.

Kaede: Have any requests or can think of a way to better the story? Let us know. Kazue can use the help...She's new at writing...Well not new to writing per-say but new to writing fanfiction so excuse her...She's a newbie...

Kazue: -slaps Kaede up the head- This is only my second story so I'm sorry if it is terrible.

Kaede: Warnings - Kazue cannot write more than four people in a good conversation so excuse the terrible conversational skills that she has here. Yugi is topping Yami in this story. The Hikaris are all topping the Yamis, got it? Do not scream at Kazue if she get into the bedroom and you finally realize that it is YugiYami in that order. I will not take kindly to having my hikari getting screamed at.


Beginning Summary: See previous page. This section will be updated on upcoming pages when I get an idea of a summary so keep an eye out.


Another one?

Yugi and Heba sat at the head of the table at each other's side. Yugi wore his black shirt and long black pants under a long elegantly black robe. His hair was spiked up in his usual star form. Yugi's right ear held a black gold earring that dangled down to his chin. Heba wore an identical outfit in red with his earring slightly shorter than Yugi's. Both wore their crowns.

Yami and Atem sat on the opposite sides of them. Yami wore a tan colored tunic with his golden arm band on his right arm. His sash was a midnight blue-black. His ears held two golden earrings. Atem wore a white tunic with a dried blood red colored sash and a golden arm band on his right arm. His ears were also adorned with two golden earrings. They too were wearing their crowns.

Jou sat beside Yami and Seto sat across from Jou, beside Atem. Jou wore a light brown shirt and dark brown pants under a dark priests' cloak along with his headdress and a smaller golden earring in his right ear. Seto wore a pale blue tunic with a dark blue sash, one golden arm back on his right arm and two golden earrings.

Ryou sat beside Jou across from Aknankanon. Ryou wore his traditional robe tied with a white sash. His hair was pulled back in a silver tie and his left ear held a golden stud. Aknankanon was dressed in a whitish tan tunic. He had two arm bands, one gold, one silver, on each arm. He had two golden earrings in his ears.

Malik stood behind Yugi on the opposite side than were Heba sat. He was dressed in a black shirt under black armor with his two swords sheathed on his hip. His black pants were tight unlike the others' loose pant legs so that he could fight easier. His hair was styled back away from his face and showed off the golden stud in his left ear.

Bakura and Marik stood behind their charges. Bakura wore a black tunic with his knives placed in the bag tied to his black sash. He wore a bronze arm band on his left arm and a golden earring at the top of his left ear. Marik wore the same as Bakura with his sword attached to his sash. He too wore a bronze arm band on his left arm and a golden earring at the top of his left ear.

Yugi moved his bangs out of his face and snapped once. Instantly the servants poured into the room carrying plate upon plate of food. Once the food was set out upon the table as a feast, the Millennium Princes took their plates and the servants dished out their food. Both looked at Aknankanon, "Pharaoh, you are our guest. Take your pick."

Aknankanon brought his plate closer to him and the servants reacted swiftly, "You do know that once you are married to my boys you will both be calling me father. I will not take no for an answer there."

Yugi and Heba chuckled together, "Of course. It would be expected."

Aknankanon lifted a hand when the servants had filled his plate enough and the servants bowed before moving on to Yami and Atem. Then Jou, Seto and Ryou's plates were filled. The servants bowed and excused themselves once they had finished their tasks.

Yugi started into his food and the others followed suit. He thought as he chewed and then spoke after he had swallowed, "Pharaoh Aknankanon, my family's marriage to yours is due on my and Heba's twenty fourth birthday which is within two months. When shall we prepare for your return?"

Aknankanon smiled and nodded, "A week before the wedding. I shall return with my wife and first born son. We will not miss the boys' wedding no matter the cause."

Heba drank from his cup before speaking, "We shall be expecting you."

Ryou looked at his brother, "Malik, did you see Ishizu?" His tone was light but held a command that barely held onto his normal voice.

Malik nodded quickly, "I did. I did. Yugi even checked up in the healing chambers while I was still in there."

Yugi sharply looked at him, "You had to wait until the very last minute. I hope your pain is under control."

Malik smiled at his prince's caring side, "It is, Yugi. I would not be here if I was in terrible pain."

Marik was watching Malik carefully with determining eyes. What he didn't expect was for Malik to catch his eye and linger. Marik's scowl lightened up a little but remained intact.

Ryou smiled at his brother's comment and finished eating. Even though he was getting a little used to it, Ryou could still feel the burning eyes of one Bakura on his back. Ryou leaned back and turned to Yugi.

Bakura had been watching Ryou since he had met the older. He could tell Ryou was probably the weakest of the five older men but he was still strong enough to take down three of four men at once. Bakura hated the word judgment but he was currently taking judgment on the man that looked like a stronger him.

Malik turned his head but kept his eyes locked on Marik's. He was listening to the area and frowned. He lifted his hand just enough for it to touch his sword. Malik's keen ears took in all the sounds in the room and then the ones in the hallway.

Even Aknankanon heard it. He opened his mouth but shut it quickly at the looks on the five Millennium's faces.

Yugi slowly stood up with an expression that screamed anger once again. He pushed his chair in properly and walked to the door. Yugi glared at the door and made his way over to it.

Aknankanon smiled, "We shall bear witness to your betrothed's strength, Yami, Atem."

Heba followed after his brother and they stood on either side of Malik.

Malik stepped back and bowed, "Heba, you can handle them all on your own. They are weakened from the whipping they received upon entry to the dungeons." He grinned silently to himself having heard Aknankanon. He chuckled, "I may be strong but my princes' have unbelievable strength. I have a wonderful match against Heba but Yugi? I have no chance at winning."

Heba looked at his brother, "Then Yugi you do not need to be bothered with them but do not let them enter this room. I do not want my fiance to be injured on his first night here." He caught Atem's eye for a fleeting moment before looking at his brother again.

Yugi smirked ever so lightly, "Do not fret, Heba. They shall remain in the hallway."

Malik stepped back over towards the wall that Marik was against. He frowned, whatever his sister gave him for pain was still working but he wasn't ready to test out how much it could do for him.

Heba smiled and opened the door to face the three prisoners that had gone missing earlier along with the first one. Because of his lack of armor and his slender form, Heba was faster than Malik would be in darting out of the room which was then blocked off by Yugi, looking surprisingly huge in the doorway.

The Egyptians watched from around Yugi with surprise written on their faces. Atem's cheeks had flushed after Heba had looked at him with that sharp, amethyst gaze. He fought the blush back.

Ryou chuckled, "Just watch."

He turned to Jou and the older man grinned, "How long do you think this will take?"

Before Ryou could answer, Malik jumped in, "I say less than ten minutes."

Ryou nodded, "I agree with him."

"Yea. Three prisoners are nothing for our princes." Jou smirked and looked at Malik with a knowing look in his eyes.

Marik and Bakura's eyes widened, identical thoughts running through their minds as they watched the fight but listened to the three Millenniums, "They're that good that it would take less than ten minutes?"

Yami was watching Yugi's back with eyes that held nothing in their depths but slight confusion.

Seto looked at Jou slightly confused but hid most of it, so he only showed a slight interest.

Heba had already kicked one in the chest, sending him backwards against a wall and blocked the second from punching his head. His form brutally knocked the wind out of the first again as he came back with an attempt to get him in the gut and Heba tossed the second on top of the first, tangling their limbs together. Heba's gaze turned to the third who had managed to use the few hits as a distraction to reach Yugi.

Marik and Bakura stiffened at that. Yami and Atem held their breath. Seto watched uncaringly. Jou and Ryou smiled. Malik only chuckled and spoke slowly in tune with Yugi's movements, "You are our king."

Yugi sighed at the lack of excitement in the two's downfall and raised his leg. With an elegant hook of his leg, the man was on the ground, clutching his neck. Yugi frowned and bent down, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him off the ground.

Heba punched the second in the gut before he could surprise attack him from behind without even turning around. The guy landed on the floor in a heap of flesh, grasping at his stomach.

Yugi dealt the final blow to the one in his grip by kneeing him in the stomach and pressing down on his pressure point behind his neck. The man fell limp in his grip and Yugi tossed him over to the second who was breathing heavily. The added weight slammed his head to the ground and knocked him out.

Heba chuckled and turned to Malik, "Take them back to the dungeons." Somehow the first had run off yet again.

Yugi ordered stiffly, "Full search for him. I do not want him in my palace any longer."

Malik grabbed both men in one hand and dragged them along towards the dungeons, "He will not be here by morning. I will not allow him to stay within these palace walls. Neither will the guards." He bowed and disappeared around a corner.

Heba looked at Yugi and Yugi responded, "It shall be as Malik says. He is never wrong. Not about this palace's security."


Kazue: I will be interrupting here. Hehe. Cruel aren't I? Well too bad. I'm stuck...Dunno what to do with the rest of the story and I think this is the only way to get it through to the readers that I am putting this on hold until I grasp a story plot. I haven't got the relationships down pat yet. Nor the characters. I'm unsure of how to keep the characters in character even in reversed positions. If you are kind and willing to help me, then I am always willing to keep an ear open. That is why there is a pm button on my profile and my contact is there too. I am in dire need of help with getting a story outline down...I can never finish a story on my own...I need help with that...


The sun hadn't even risen yet and the day was dark but besides the guards there was one figure awake within the palace. The silent movements were filled with sweet elegance and his beautiful eyes were delicate and gentle. Soothing notes of a flute floated around the room causing healing magic to slowly seep from the lips of the lovely flutist.

A knock on the door halted the notes and the figure moved the flute from his lips. He opened the door and smiled at the person on the other side, "Prince Yami, what can I do for you?"

The younger man smiled lightly, "I was wondering if I may speak with you for a while." Yami's bangs covered his eyes as a tiny blush lightened his cheeks. He really wanted to get to know him but he was really doing this in the wee hours of the morning. He felt slightly embarrassed that he wanted to talk so early.

"Of course, Prince Yami, come on in." The figure stepped back from the door and walked over to his extravagant bed, "Sit down somewhere." He smiled brightly, "Would you mind if I finish this song?"

Yami shook his head and sat down on the end of the bed and watched him, "I don't mind, Prince Yugi." His blush had brightened when he was allowed in. Yami brushed his bangs out of the way and smiled when Yugi started to play.

The notes filled the room with elegant music and calming sound. The song left the heart in aching desire for more but Yami silently listened to the beautiful song with a gently smile on his lips. Yami had changed into his sleeping tunic that started at his hips and fell down to his knees along with a white robe that he wore out of bed to cover his upper body.

When the song ended, Yugi took the flute apart and it disappeared in ways that it had come. Yugi looked at Yami carefully and smiled at the gentle atmosphere surrounding him now contrasting to the slightly tense aura that had been hovering around him before. "You wanted to speak with me?"

Yami turned to look at him and smiled slightly sheepish, "I realize I shouldn't do this so early in the morning but I couldn't sleep and I wanted to get to know you better as we are to be married, Prince Yugi."

Yugi smiled, "For one thing, call me Yugi. As you have said, we are to be married; there is no need for the title." He gently smoothed out the wrinkles in his night shirt.

Yami nodded, "Then you call me Yami too. It would be needless for me to call you by name and you to call me by title."

Yugi looked up at Yami and reached out and touched his cheek softly, "I remember when you were just an infant. You really grew to be a handsome young man, Yami." He stroked the pale skin with his thumb and smiled.

Blushing at the light touch, Yami relaxed at the feel of the other man's hand. He locked eyes with the other and nearly bit his tongue, "Thank you, Yugi." The intense lock between their eyes made Yami want to look away but he couldn't bring himself to.

Yugi's hand retreated and he blinked, the magic breaking between them, "Why couldn't you sleep?" His voice was gentle and quiet barely heard over the endless silence of the early morn.

Yami looked down at his hands, "I'm not that good with new places. And with that prisoner running around, I must admit I'm a little freaked out." He stayed completely still before continuing, "I have never been good with moving to new places and Millennium is completely different for me. I guess I'm used to being around prisoners and the threats as father has his fair share of them but I think I'm freaking out mainly because I'm in a brand new place."

Yugi nodded, "Do not worry. By now all the prisoners have left the palace. That runaway has not been found but there are no traces of him in the palace. He must have left." Yugi nodded again in understanding, "I can imagine you are scared. I had a terrible fright the first time I traveled to Egypt. I was a young child and I was extremely scared." He looked at Yami, "Did your father tell you how scared of him I was?"

Bewildered, Yami shook his head, "No. He didn't."

Yugi smiled, "I would not say hello, speak or bow to him. I hid behind my grandfather the entire time. Heba was the braver of us and he was the one to greet him. But by the time I met you, I was fine. When I was told I was to marry you, you had been in my arms. I was so shocked that I nearly burst into tears but I was happy."

Looking shocked, Yami asked, "You were happy?"

"I was very happy. The moment I met you I felt a protective feeling wash over me." Yugi looked at him, "You were a beautiful child. That was the first but not the last time I have felt that way about you."

Yami gave a blush and nodded.

Yugi smiled, "What about Millennium do you fear?" He understood but he wanted to know what he could do to ease the frustration and fear for his fiancé that he already felt the desire to protect.

"It may just be that it is so different from what I'm used to. And then the fact that I may not return to my home again." Yami shrunk within himself.

"You will adjust, Yami. Just give Millennium a chance." Yugi paused to take Yami's hand, "Once we are married, you will be tied to Millennium but that does not mean you will not be allowed back to Egypt. Egypt will always be the country you were born in and I will never try to take that away." He smiled, "Yami, you are Egyptian at heart. I will never try to change your nationality or the place you call your homeland. I just hope you can come to call Millennium your home."

A knock on the door interrupted his train of thought. Yugi let Yami's hand go and walked over to the door. He opened it and chuckled over his shoulder, "You did tell your bodyguard where you were, right Yami?"

Yami walked over and peeked over Yugi's shoulder, "Oh, Bakura." He nodded, "I did tell you. But I guess you were asleep."

Bakura raised his eyebrow at Yugi's use of Yami's name but he glared at his charge, "You are supposed to wake me up before you leave your room."

Yami sheepishly looked away, "Sorry. I did tell you though."

"Now that I know where you are and that you are safe, I don't have to freak out all over again." Bakura bowed, "I will excuse myself, Prince Yugi."

Yugi nodded, "You're free to come to me anytime, Bakura." He spotted Marik coming from Atem's room with a stern look upon his face. "Prince Atem is gone too?"

Marik looked up slightly shocked, "Yes, he is."

Yugi chuckled, "If I know my brother, I'm going to say I know where he is." Yugi slipped from his room and knocked on the door half way down the hall from his. He waited for the door to open before he looked at his brother.

Heba nodded briefly without him having to say anything and stepped back, "Atem, your bodyguard is looking for you."

Atem walked over and looked out into the hall; he waved his hand, "Marik, I'm right here."

Yugi looked at Heba and both men smirked with a nod. Yugi chuckled, "We twins really think alike don't we all?"


Summary so far: Two more prisoners have been caught. One has disappeared and no one knows where he is. Yami and Yugi have begun to get to know each other. Heba and Atem have also begun the long process of learning about each other.


Kaede: Don't mind Kazue...
