Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh

Another piece of furniture crashed to the floor, sending clay-made pots and dishes shattering. Then, a feminine shout was heard.

Rubbing her cheek again, Teana looked outside. It was just after midday, and the city below was bustling as usual.

'I have to think of something to get rid of that little runt,' Teana thought as she started pacing again.

A couple minutes later, no ideas came forward.

'Hopefully my excuse will do something…but if not…aha!'

An idea slowly making its way to a full proof plan Teana smirked. Grabbing a shawl, and a small bagful of gold coins, Teana made her way out of the room and started heading towards the dungeons.

"Yami, you need to explain yourself," Shimon demanded.

"Explain what?" Yami asked, not really getting the situation.

Shimon sighed. "Earlier today, Teana brought up the subject that you demanded her to leave the palace, or else you'd throw her out onto the street, and if not that, into the dungeons," Shimon started, his eyes narrowing a little, "then she said that she refused, and then you slapped her!"

Shimon paused then, "and she said something about a boy staying here, that was supposedly breaking you two up!"

Yami blinked, and then growled deep in his throat. Swallowing his anger so that he wouldn't unleash it to Shimon and Seto, Yami simply answered, "I did no such thing. I never asked her to leave, and that boy that is staying with us is certainly not breaking us up!" Yami half-lied.

"But did you slap Teana?" Seto spoke up.

"Yes." Yami smiled. Hopefully they wouldn't ask why.

The two seemed to accept the answer, but then asked, "Who is this boy that is staying with us?"

Yami tilted his head for a second, and then replied, "He is one of my childhood friends."

"But I never knew him," Shimon asked him. Then he turned to Seto, "did you know him?"

Seto merely shook his head.

"You're talking about that boy that was with you near the small pool, right?" Shimon asked.

Yami nodded.

"Were did you meet him?" Shimon wanted to know.

Yami truthfully told them that Yugi was part of the orchestra that came a while ago. And that they knew each other because Yugi used to live in the village and whenever he and his father would go out, Yugi and himself would always meet up. That is, until Yugi joined the orchestra a couple of years ago.

"Hm. Interesting story. You sure that it is all true prince?" Seto asked, not fully convinced.

"Positive," Yami somewhat lied.

Shimon stayed silent for a moment, most likely trying to believe the story. It seemed that he did. "Anyhow, you should know better than to do such things to Teana. It's positively a disgrace to the royal family, and to yourself. Do you know what most people would think of you if they knew that you slapped your fiancé?" Shimon seemed to start rambling at that moment, so Yami took the advantage to take his leave. As did Seto.

'Things will never change,' Yami chuckled to himself.

Pulling the shawl closer to her body, Teana shivered.

'They seriously have to put some kind of heat in here…'

She soon came to the two large double doors that led to the dungeon. Grasping the handle, Teana pulled back and stepped into the dark and dank tunnel.

'Ew! What a horrible smell!'

Pinching her nose with her fingers, Teana proceeded down the tunnel, until she came to yet another set of double doors, but this time had two soldiers guarding it.

"State your business," one of them huffed.

"I need to speak to one of the prisoners," Teana expounded.

"Which one?" the other soldier asked.

"The one that almost doomed two villages to destruction," Teana stated.

The two soldiers looked at each other, both wondering why this girl had to talk to that certain prisoner. Seeing that she could possibly do no harm, they stepped out of the way.

"Thank you," Teana muttered as she pulled open the doors and stepped into the actual dungeon. But before she could start going any further, one of the soldiers shouted, "The prisoner you wish to speak with is in cell 67!"

Now knowing where to go, Teana smirked to herself as she made her way passed many cells.

Getting tired of leaning on his arms, Yugi sat up, feeling a little pain. Pushing the pain away, Yugi thought things over again, all the while setting his ney down and dipping his toes into the water.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Yugi didn't dare turn around; otherwise he'd probably hurt his back some more. He had learned that from earlier.

"Hello Yugi, hope I didn't take too long," came Yami's voice.

Seeing Yami sit beside him, Yugi smiled. "You didn't take that long. Just enough to make me bored."

Yami smiled. He was really glad that Yugi was here. He wouldn't have a clue what he'd be doing if Yugi weren't here. Or maybe he did…ugh.

"What did those two want anyway?" Yugi asked, pulling his toes out of the water.

"Ah, it was nothing really. Just stupid stuff," Yami replied.

-----

"And what good would this have on my life?" the prisoner asked.

Teana smirked. "Since I am the prince's fiancé, I'll be marrying him in a couple weeks and that will give me power," then she paused and her smirk deepened. "Then I'll kill him, and then you and I can share the power after that."

The prisoner stayed silent for a moment, before smiling in the shadows. "Sounds like a plan to me," the prisoner agreed as Teana put the bag full of gold into his hands.

"I'll let you out in a week."
