I do not own any of the characters to Yu-Gi-Oh! This was just an idea I had and I ran with it.
Chapter Four
Amarra stood in the alley with Seto, now having his previous memories of High Priest Seth. They looked at Atem, he looked mad with power. If he were the true Pharaoh, wouldn't he be able to keep calm in any situation? As it was, she was scared of being pulled into hell.
"Now it is time to match our powers," Atem declared. "Your item is missing, in the hands of a new enemy."
"Please, Atem. Do not do this. You will upset the gods." Amarra told him.
"I am the son of Horus. I cannot upset the gods." Atem answered.
Seto had started to walk away and Atem, acting quickly grabbed Amarra. "Go find the usurper and tell him the true Pharaoh has his queen." The two disappeared into the magic of the Millennium Puzzle.
They reappeared in front of the Game Shop. She was a little disoriented, but otherwise, she was fine. She looked at Atem. He was still holding her in a vice grip and she was trying to break free.
"If you struggle, you will get weaker, Amarra." He breathed.
"Why are you doing this?" She screamed.
"You let that usurper steal the throne that is rightfully mine! I am the true Pharaoh, Amarra and you let him take my throne!" He yelled back.
"If you didn't do horrible things to your people, I wouldn't have helped him." She answered quietly.
"Your village was not paying its tribute." Atem said.
"You made it higher than it was supposed to be." She replied defiantly.
"It was not my doing." Atem said quietly, turning to her. "I wanted to marry a child of the gods. I wanted to marry you. The guards found the excuse to burn your village by telling me lies."
"So you enslave me?" She asked.
"No, I…" Atem stopped. How could he make her see what she was to him? "I wanted to marry you, but you loved Bakura already. I wanted to marry you against your will, but I saw how happy you were with him and I didn't get a chance. Let me try." He let her arm go.
"Why should I? You kidnapped the Queen of Egypt!" She yelled.
"Let me try." He repeated, looking into her beautiful golden eyes. "You have eyes that would make Horus jealous, my Queen." He knelt before her, much to her surprise.
"But the Pharaoh…" She turned away from him.
"What?" He said.
"The Pharaoh bows to no one or kneels before no one for that matter." Amarra sat in the chair beside the window and sighed. "Atem, why did you treat me as a slave?"
"You weren't royalty and I would be forbidden, but if you were my slave…"
"Since I am a child of the gods, it shouldn't matter how I came to the world. Just that I have and that you hurt me." She cut him off.
Atem watched as a single tear slid down her cheek. "I'm sorry for upsetting you, my love."
She stared at him. "What did you call me?"
"My love. I love you, Amarra and I'm not afraid of it anymore."
"You can't love me."
"Why not?" He was curious. Why was she being cold to him all of a sudden?
"Because you are going to die when Bakura finds you." There was no emotion in her voice.
""I'm not afraid to die."
"Good. Then the usurper can die quickly and leave my Queen alone!" Bakura yelled, dagger in hand. "I hope Osiris helps you into the afterlife!" And with that, Pharaoh Bakura pounced.
