AteKake: Hi, I have had some fun in school and have had some homework so I wasn't able to update as early as before. I'm so glad it's going to be Labor Day so that I can update more! I hope that you guys keep sending me reviews and I'm so glad you guys like this story! On with the chapter!
Yugi awoke the next morning, opening his eyes slowly and noticing that he was still in the palace. "I sure miss Grandpa." Yugi said to himself as he got out of bed. He scanned the room, wondering what he was going to do now. "Ugh, what should I do now?" Yugi sat there for a moment pondering what to do next.
Mana knocked on the wall that lead to Yugi's room. Yugi turned and saw Mana, trying to hide herself for Yugi's privacy. "You can come in Mana."
Mana came into the room, and smiled. "Hi Yugi. I am wondering if you want to go to the streets to get something to eat. I'm pretty sure that you don't want to be starving when you go through training."
Yugi smiled, it was true. "Sure." Yugi stood up and walked towards Mana, "Shall we go then?"
Mana nodded and smiled. She lead Yugi through the huge palace. "I'm sure you are amazed with all this here in the palace, huh Yugi. But don't worry, it took me a little while to get used to be here, and also through training."
Yugi had a puzzled look on his face. "Training?" he simply asked Mana. "What are you training to become?"
Mana stopped walking and turned to Yugi, "Why if you really want to know, I am training to become the best magician I can be!" Mana said proudly as she told Yugi.
Yugi chuckled at the girl, "That's great. I think you'll become one of the best." Mana smiled and continued leading Yugi through the palace.
At the exit, they spotted Mahado, who was reading through some scrolls. He had spotted the cheerful girl and the boy, "Mana, where do you think you're going?" Mahado then turned to Yugi, "And why are you bringing Yugi along with you?"
Yugi sunk back behind Mana, hoping to hide himself. Mana noticed Yugi's actions, "Master Mahado, well, Yugi and I want to eat something, so we thought that we could go and get something to eat." She answered innocently.
Mahado looked away, "Ok, just make sure to keep an eye on Yugi. He may steal anything if he gets the chance. I'll tell the pharaoh also that you two are going to be in the streets for a little while. Just make sure to hurry, Yugi needs to train, and so do you, Mana."
Mana pouted before leading Yugi out of the palace, "Ok, I'll make sure!" Mana said before exiting the palace, with a very nervous Yugi behind her.
Atemu woke up, noticing the large dog lying next to him. He smiled and stroked the dog, as Kufu stretched in comfort. "Good morning, Kufu."
Kufu yawned and jumped of the bed, waiting for his master to follow. Atemu changed and followed Kufu through the halls of the palace.
As they approached the dining hall, Atemu spotted Isis and greeted her as she bowed to him, "Hello Isis," Atemu waved to Isis and entered the dining hall.
Isis stood by Atemu and stood by the pharaoh's side for his protection. As food was being served, Isis asked Atemu, "My Pharaoh, may I ask you, when are you going to train the boy I haven't seen him yet this morning. Maybe you should check on him."
Atemu looked away, "Well, he's not my responsibility to babysit him. Plus, I only agreed to train him."
Isis looked down disappointed with the Pharaoh.
At that moment, Mahado walked into the room, to inform the pharaoh about Yugi and Mana going to the village to get some food. Atemu looked at Mahado with curiosity, "Hello Mahado. What are you doing here?"
Mahado bowed and then answered the pharaoh, "My Pharaoh, I just came to inform you about Yugi. Mana took Yugi to the village to get something to eat."
Atemu finished his meal and answered, "Very well. I believe Mana does know about how Yugi got into the palace, am I correct?"
Mahado nodded. Atemu got up from his seat and walked towards the throne room.
Shada and Seth came running into the dining hall, panting.
Seth spoke up, "My Pharaoh, the Thief King, Bakura has been spotted in the village, has been spotted on the cliff, overlooking the village. We believe that he plans to run though the village soon and attack. My Pharaoh, we need your help!"
Atemu's eyes widened, Yugi and Mana were in the village, Bakura could harm both of them, not to mention, find out about Yugi's Ka. Atemu stood up and ran towards the exit, being watched by everyone in the dining hall. "Seth, get my horse ready!" Atemu ordered.
"Yes my Pharaoh!" Seth answered. He rushed out of the palace and towards the stables, getting the Pharaoh's horse.
Atemu rushed to his room, running past everyone in the halls, still accompanied by Kufu. Atemu entered his chambers, and grabbed the Dia Diankh from his desk and rushed out of his chambers once again. He stopped and noticed that Kufu was still following him.
Atemu kneeled down and patted his loyal dog, "I'll be back soon boy, I promise." Kufu whimpered and sat down by the door, showing Atemu that he would be waiting.
Atemu continued his way through the palace, and out to the stables. There, he spotted Seth trying to hold down his horse. The strong Arabian held its head proudly, knowing that he was going to have to serve his master once again.
Atemu rubbed the soft muzzle of the fully black horse. "Calm down, Takeru. I need you to relax and help me." Takeru steadied under the hand of his master, and waited for a command.
Seth had set the saddle on Takeru's back, so Atemu just had to hop on. As soon as Atemu cracked the reins, Takeru burst into full speed, heading for the village.
