sigh I hate these… It takes all the fun out of writing a fanfiction. I'm sad to say that I do not own Yu Gi Oh or any of the characters, not even my hottie Yami! Sniff Those rights are to the REAL character creators and some other lucky people.

Chapter 3: New Friends

I awoke early that morning in an unfamiliar setting. I sat up and looked around. I was in Yami's chambers still.

"Why am I here?" I thought trying to remember the events of the other night. Thank goodness, Yami wasn't in his room right now. After I got up I went to leave when I saw a note lying on the table with some fruits.

'Anzu,

I'm going to hang around in the city at the Duel dome. Come meet me there when you eat.

Yami'

I stared at the letter in disbelief. Yami wanted to be with me…. I ate some of the fruit in his room and then left to go to the Duel Dome, whatever that was. Father had told me about Duel Domes, he said they where used to play a dangerous game called Duel Monsters. Father had always told me to stay away from the Duel Domes.

The main city as huge. The one thing I noticed different was that the people in it where crowding the streets and here bustling around. I wonder where the Duel Dome is…. I decided to stop and ask the baker called Eshe.

"Um… Excuse me Miss, but could you help me? You see I'm trying to find the Duel Dome." I said.

Eshe looked at me oddly and finally said, "The Duel Dome is off to your left right by the card shop, now go away your keeping customers from buying their bread!"

I left as she said and soon found myself standing infront of a large brick dome. I entered the dome with some hesitation because I was scared at first. I had never even seen one of these before and plus the stories father had told me about them didn't help my mood in the dome.

I walked into several people in the dome, until I saw Yami on a dueling platform. It looked like he was playing a game at the time so I didn't say anything. A lot of the people around me were cheering like nuts! I could hardly think. It was then that I heard the guy dueling Yami say it.

"Well, Prince Yami what card will you play now? I have Celtic Guardian in attack mode you can't win." Said Yami's opponent.

Yami looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes.

"I won't lose Kaiba!" Yami then pulled out a card and put it in attack mode.

"I play the Dark Magician in attack mode. Dark Magician blow away his Celtic Guardian!" yelled Yami as the Dark Magician blew away the Celtic Guardian taking Kaiba's life points down to zero.

Everyone around Cheered happily. Yami started to pick up his cards and come down the stairs when he finally noticed me. Yami gave me that twisted smile yet again and for some reason it didn't bother me anymore. Once he got back down to the main floor he walked right over to me.

"Hey Anzu." Was all he said until two guys came and hugged him like nuts.

"Yam! You did it you beat Kaiba's ass, that bustard deserved it." Cried the one and the other didn't say anything he just stared at me for some odd reason.

"Jou, I told you Kaiba was no match for me. He doesn't believe in the heart of the cards like I do." Said Yami happily as Jou let go of him along did the other guy.

"Hey Yam, who's this?" asked the guy.

Yami looked at him for a second and then noticed me again.

"Oh Honda, this is Anzu she's a friend of mine." Said Yami giving me a look that made me stare into his eyes more.

Honda and Jou smiled at me.

"I'm Honda and this is Jou, nice to meet you lady Anzu." Said Honda.

I blushed when he said lady because here in Egypt, that title was only given to royal blood meaning a princess or a queen.

Yami must've noticed my blush because he gave a smirk.

"She's staying at the palace. Her father's working for my father." Said Yami. Jou and Honda smiled.

"So Yam, wanna go get something to eat?" asked Jou. Yami smiled him.

"Sure, I don't have to be back at the palace until 2 o'clock." Replied Yami.

I looked at Yami not sure what to do. I hadn't thought about grabbing my money that I had brought from home with me.

"What should I do?" I questioned in my head. Suddenly to my surprise Yami walked over toward me and smiled.

"Let's go Anzu." Yami retorted as he grabbed my hand and started to drag me to the eatery.

The eatery was a very crowed place during lunch time, however that was no problem for Yami. People gladly moved to the back of the line so Yami and us could be first in line. The food all looked so good there was fried rice with wild grapes, Turkey with a grape glaze on it, and last of all it was all served up together with the best wine in all Egypt.

I picked up a tray of fried rice with some wild grapes, then I got on slice of turkey because I didn't like to eat meat all that much. Yami and his friends got huge platefuls of rice and Turkey all piled on top of each other. After the meals were paid for, Honda led of to a small wooden table that had exactly four wooden chairs with it. Honda sat beside Jou, and to my surprise, Yami…. Was standing there pulling out my chair for me.

"Here, Anzu." Said Yami with his prince like smile as he held the chair out for me. I looked at him to thew chair and back and fourth for a while until I finally decided to sit down.

"Tha…Thank… you…. Ya… Yami…" I said feeling my face flush as I felt his eyes on me. What was it about him that made me act like a fool? Yami soon sat down beside me and started to eat his huge platter of food. I soon followed his action and began to eat.

"Wow! This food is really good." I stated in shock. I had never tasted food like this anywhere. Yami and his friends smiled and then soon laughed.

"Only the best for Yami and his guest.." said Jou through clenched teeth of laughter.

After spending time in the eatery, it was already time to head back to the palace.

"Bye Jou, bye Honda." Said Yami as he waved to his friends.

"C'ya Yam." Retorted Jou as him and Honda started to head back to the Dual Dome.

With that, Yami and I started to head back to the palace.
