"Well get used to it cause I have a feeling he`ll be doing that a lot now." Seth said as we walked out of the gardens and in the direction of the kitchens
"So big." I heard Yugi say
"Yes it is big Yugi."
"Jono live here?"
"In a way I do yes."
"What language is Yugi speaking in?" the pharaoh asked whilst turning his head to look at me
"It`s a language we use, It doesn`t actually have a name, other than the language of the Neko`s."
"Will, Yugi be able to speak like we do?"
"Yes, as he grows up he will be able to speak this way but he would be able to speak like this fully until he`s five years old." We arrived at the kitchen and all the staff stopped what they were doing and stared at Yugi, causing him to hid in the pharaoh`s arms. I let out a low growl and they all began with their jobs again
"You okay Yugi?"
"N-no, scary people."
"They`re not looking anymore."
"Want leave."
"Pharaoh-"
"Let me guess all their looks scared him?"
"Um, yeah."
"Well, let`s get you some fruit and we`ll leave, how`s that sound?" The Pharaoh asked Yugi who smiled and nodded
"Jono grab the bowl of fruit off the table and we`ll leave." Seth said, I nodded and grabbed the bowl before turning and following them. We walk down the halls to the Pharaoh`s office/Lounge and entered to see a servant cleaning the floors
"Jono, place the fruit on the table." Seth said, I nodded and walked around the Pharaoh to place the bowl down on the table, when I looked at the servant I saw it was Yami who was my best friend but he was also a Neko in disguise
"Yami?" he jumped and knocked over the water bucket, then looked u before bowing his head
"I-I`m s-sorry P-Pharaoh."
"Actually Pharaoh that was my fault, made him jump."
"Bad Jono." I heard Yugi say
"What do you mean you made him jump?" The Pharaoh asked
"Well you see Yami is also-"
"Jono please don`t!" Yami yelled
"Yami, relax it`s not the Pharaoh's going to kill you for it. Yami is a Neko like me and Yugi."
"Jono!" The Pharaoh turned to look at Yami
"You`re a Neko?" he asked, Yami hung his head
"Y-yes."
"Jono, me see Neko?"
"Pharaoh, Yugi want to know if he can go over and see Yami." The pharaoh sighed and set Yugi on the floor who then ran over to Yami and licked his face causing Yami to giggle
"S-stop I-it tickles !" Yugi stopped licking Yami`s face and ran back over to the Pharaoh who picked him up
"Yami you don`t have to worry, I'm not going to do anything to you just because you`re a Neko." The Pharaoh explained
"Y-you`re not?"
"No, that would be unfair to you, I haven`t had anything don`t to Jono or Yugi because they`re Neko`s."
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Well first you can start by cleaning up the water you spilt, then you can take the equipment away and come back here."
"Yes my pharaoh."
Atem`s Pov
After Yami began clearing up the water I sat down on one of the sofa`s and handed Yugi a peach who munched on it happily. I looked over at Jono to see him smiling happily at Yugi
"Jono, does Yugi not like Mana?" he looked up at me and shook his head
"He said he gets a strange feeling and says he wants to stay away."
"Hmm, I wonder why, I mean Mana`s not all bad." He let out a dry laugh
"Are you kidding me? It`s like she knows what I am, and she`ll use any spell to get me to reveal myself, and I bet Yugi can sense her magic." Suddenly Yugi began hissing in the direction of the door
"Yugi-Ow!" I felt his claws dig into my lap before he was removed by Jono
"Shh Yugi, remember I said make no noise? So that means no hissing okay?" Jono explained and Yugi immediately stopped hissing
"Are you okay Atem?" Seth asked, I nodded
"I`m fine it was just a shock."
"I`m sorry Pharaoh ." Jono said
"It`s fine, I`m sure he didn`t mean to I just wonder why he-" I was cut off my a sharp knocking on the door
"Who`s there?" Seth asked
"It`s me Mana!" I suddenly heard whimpering, I stood up and looked down at Yami to see him shaking in his place, I knelt down in front of him and placed a hand on his shoulder
"Yami?" He began shaking even more before I looked over at Seth
"Get rid of her Seth." He nodded and opened the door slightly before stepping out and closing it behind him
"Yami, it`s okay Seth is getting rid of her." He looked up at me with fear in his eyes
"R-really?"
"Yes, she won't be coming in here, Yami tell me has Mana ever tried to do spells on you?" tears glistened his eyes
"Yes."
"Yami does she know about you?" Jono asked, Yami looked to the ground before his crimson tipped ears popped out of his head and a tail behind him, I gasped as I saw the chunks of fur missing from his crimson tipped tail
"Yami, did Mana do this to you?"
"Yes." I heard Yugi whimper and tears ran down Yami`s face. I pulled Yami into a hug to calm him down
"Mew?(Hurt?)"
"Yes, Yugi Yami is hurt." I heard Jono say
Seth`s Pov
I stepped out of the room and came face to face with Mana
"Mana you are to leave now."
"Why?!"
"Because he pharaoh is busy and doesn`t need to be disrupted by you."
"Fine then, you give me Jono and Yami and I`ll leave."
"You will not get your hands on my servant nor the one you call Yami."
"I will, Yami is my play thing."
"Yami is not a thing nor is he an it, he is a person."
"Whatever I`ll get them both sooner or later."
