chapter 3 truth revealed
SaPoV
When I came home it was time for a party, I helped Yami outside and told him what happened that day. He praised you for what you did to Bakura and laughed about the part with Priest Seth.
After the extra delicious dinner it was time for dance and Music. Yami had a lot of fun but he rejected every time someone asked him to dance, saying he couldn't dance, so I pulled him up and pushed him in the circle of dancers. I danced too and at the end you ended up somehow together.
"Having fun?" I asked him.
"Yes especially now I'm dancing with an Angel."
I blushed at his comment. "t-thank you I guess."
He smiled and when the music stopped he bowed slightly and kissed my cheek then he went inside. You followed a bit later because you were stunned at his actions.
He took the chair to sleep in it. "What are you doing?" I asked.
he answered, "I thought that you could take the bed this time."
"No, no, no, no. I take the chair" he opened his mouth to protest.
"And no buts!"
" why can't we share the bed?"
"Because I need to do something else first." I replied hiding my blush at the thought.
" Okay but I insist you take the bed this time."
"Maybe I'll sleep outside you know."I said smugly
"Aaargh! Fine I take the bed."
"Goodnight Yami" he grumbled I chuckled and left the house to go on guarding round.
This time nothing happened and all I could think about was Yami and Mahado. *Why do I blush so much around Yami? and why did I feel like showing off my skills when that Priest insulted me in front of Mahado? Could it be possible that I have feelings for them?* When I returned Yami was vast asleep. At least he looked like he was in a deep slumber.
I couldn't help but stare at him." Are you going to stare at me all night or not?"
I blushed. "Sorry if I disturbed you. I'll let you sleep now."
"What was on your mind if I may ask?" My blush was thousand times redder.
"I thought about…. this boy… I just met him, but I can't stop thinking about him."
"What is his name?" the question came fast
"…eh…he heh.. I can't tell you."
"Why not?" he asked curiously
"Because. I have my reasons."
Yami's thoughts
* What is she talking about? Could she be talking about me? I hope she is but… it isn't possible for me to love an average citizen. I wish I could tell her the truth*
He asked me " How did you do that thing with Priest Seth?"
"Well… can you keep a secret?"
"Yes"
"I have this bracelet with the powers of the elements. Every colour represents an element. Except for the golden bead I don't know what it does. Every time an emotion is on extreme height I can use the element that is similar to the emotion. For example fire is similar to anger and water to sadness and so on. Anyway let's get some sleep okay? Goodnight Yami." I said while getting comfortable in the chair.
"Goodnight Angel." This night was once again dreamless
The next morning no PoV
Sahra woke up to the smell of freshly baked bread. It turned out to be Yami. "Hey Yami are you a cook too?" "No Angel but this was the least I could do for you."
"Oh. Ok hey I have an awesome idea for your return to the palace."
"What is it?"
"It's a surprise if you want to do it that is. All right but let's eat first okay?" He had made toast with eggs. "Mmm Yami this is delicious."
"Really?"
"Yes. Oh I forgot to ask yesterday but why are you calling me Angel?" He froze.
A small blush appeared on his face. "You…ehm…are like an Angel to me. the way you go through life helping others who need it so much."
"Oh thank you I guess." After breakfast Sahra prepared Shadow and helped Yami on his back, because he had stiff limbs. She climbed in front of him, and told him to hold her tight, if he doesn't like falling off of Shadows back.
Then they rode as fast as they could. When the two reached the palace, some guards tried to stop them but Sahra made Shadow jump over them. Then Sahra asked Yami to direct her to the throne room. He did and they burst through the door without destroying it. Sahra saw Priest Mahad and a Priestess in that room. When Yami got off of Shadow they bowed.
"My Pharaoh, you finally returned." The Priestess said.
Sahra thought. *Huh he IS the pharaoh? He lied to me? How could he?* She asked why.
Yami turned to her with a slightly sad look on his face. The priests left us alone.
"Angel, I had to lie because, I didn't want you to know me as a pharaoh, but as person just how I really am."
SahraPoV
"Is your name real?" I asked a bit annoyed.
"It is my nickname. My real name is Atem. But please keep calling me Yami." he said as if he didn't just lie to me, as if I had forgiven him already.
"I have to go now, farewell Pharaoh. You'll probably never hear from me again in kind ways."
I turned Shadow and walked away. Shadow neighed. I replied "yes I know, I wish it didn't have to end like this either." Once I was outside, After I made Shadow leave a 'present' in the pharaoh's rooms, I climbed on Shadow but as I lifted my foot something snapped at it. Soon I felt dizzy and my sight became a blur then darkness. Shadow crushed the snake and made a lot of noise. That alerted two palace guards.
NoPoV
One carried her inside while the other calmed Shadow down. Then the second guard warned the healers and priestess Isis. She warned the pharaoh and ran to the hospital wing.
The guard that carried Sahra, laid her down in the hospital wing of the palace and sucked most of the poison out of her blood. Priestess Isis found you in a deadly fever asleep.
When Atem entered the hospital wing the guard informed him. When he heard who the patient was he rushed over to your bed. He asked Isis. "how is she?"
"if she doesn't cool down very soon she might die."
"tell me how I can help."
"I'm sorry my king you can't do anything except praying. Then I'll do my best to heal her."
This made Atem frustrated because he might lose you and he can't do a thing about it. He got literally shoved out of the room.
Atem went to his room and he paced up and down. Suddenly he had an idea.
He went to explain Ramon about your condition. They were worried but Ramon knew he had to take over for a while. He assured Atem everything would be fine.
Then Atem rode back. When he went to Sahra, he saw a few healers running to her bed with panic on their faces.
he thought *oh no please Ra don't let her die she means a lot to me. I love her*
he called Isis. "What is going on Isis, why is everyone so panicked?"
"The fever is climbing. It is a miracle she is still alive." Atem went to the palace garden trying to calm down. A few hours later Isis came to him. She bowed "My pharaoh the fever went down. She will survive but she has to stay in bed at least for a week."
"Can I see her?" Atem asked looking relieved. "Yes, but be silent she is asleep. And she might be talking but it usually is nonsense." Atem went to Sahra. A maid was dabbing her head and neck. He took over by sending the servant away. He dabbed Sahra a bit more and waited. But she just wouldn't wake up. This went on for three days.
