Episode 7

Sarah was the first to wake up the next morning and just laid in bed looking at Atemu. She remembers what had happened the pervious night and a deep red blush came to her face. She sat up and blinked when she saw the blood on the sheet. She didn't remember hurting last night, and she knew she was far from being a virgin. Sarah shrugged and turned back to Atemu. She shook his shoulder, but he just groaned and rolled over. Sarah giggled and stood up, before walking to the other side of the bed. She bent over and kissed Atemu on the lips. She jumped when she felt arms wrap around her and pulled her onto the bed. When Sarah pulled away she saw Atemu looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You were awake this entire time!" Sarah accused. Atemu chuckled and sat up.

"I don't know what you're talking about love," Atemu said trying to be innocent. Sarah laughed and stood up, walking towards the bathroom. Atemu got up and followed her, spotting the blood again. He walked into the bathroom and walked up behind Sarah and kissed her neck.

"Come on we need to get a bath before we go and met with the others," Sarah said. Atemu nuzzled her neck gently.

"I want you to tell me truthfully; I didn't hurt you last night did I?" Atemu asked in concern. Sarah smiled and nuzzled Atemu back.

"No, I didn't feel any pain, as for the blood I don't know where it came from, but you where extremely gently last night, so don't worry about it," Sarah said. Atemu smiled and kissed Sarah on the side of the neck, "Now come on lets take a bath and meet the others for breakfast." Atemu nodded and Sarah wiggled out of his arms and jumped into the water. Atemu chuckled and followed her. They played a little bit before Atemu remembered something.

"Oh, I almost forgot, happy birthday love, you're what fifteen?" Sarah smiled and nodded. The two finished getting cleaned off and hopped out. When they got into the bedroom they found two sets of clothes waiting at the foot of the bed as well as the sheets having been removed. Sarah blushed wondering how Kaiba knew first to send her cloths down here and two how they knew the sheets needed to be changed. She just shook her head and decided not to think about it. She grabbed her cloths and quickly got dressed. Once the two of them were dressed they walked towards the others rooms. Everyone was already waiting outside there rooms. Sarah went a little ahead with Mai and Atemu hung back with the others. He told them about Sarah's birthday. Sarah herd whispering and saw Atemu whispering into Yugi's ear. Sarah blinked and turned back around; it wasn't any of her business. Seto Kaiba was already in Kaiba lands dueling arena when they got there. Next to him was a computer.

"This computer will randomly chose two duelist," Kaiba cliqued a button and pictures began to flash through the screen. Atemu prayed that Sarah wouldn't get chosen to duel against Marik or Bakura. The first picture to stop was Jonochi's, followed then by Mai's. Atemu sighed in relief, and Sarah smiled. Atemu could be overprotective. Jonochi and Mai walked up to the arena and activated there duel disks.

The duel wasn't very long. Jonochi was able to defeat Mai's Harpy Lady with red eyes. The duel was interesting though and Sarah really enjoyed watching it. Everyone turned back to the screen and watched as it once again circulated between the pictures. It was Seto and Ishizu's picture. This duel took a little longer than Jonochi's and Mai duel, but in the end Seto ended up being victorious. Following them were Yugi and Malik, everyone already knew who would win that duel. Everyone waited for the next two. Atemu hoped that Sarah would go up against him. Even if it means he might actually lose, it was better than having her go up against Marik or Bakura. The pictures stopped on Atemu and Marik. Atemu paled, that means Sarah would end up going against Bakura. Atemu and Marik headed to the arena. Of course it was a shadow duel. It was close, but Atemu managed to summon all three Egyptian god cards and defeat Marik. Just smirked as his soul was taken to the shadow realm. There plan had work perfectly.

Finally it was Sarah's turn and she was going up against Bakura. Sarah held her own in the beginning. She even managed to play her Wicked Avitar card, which thanks to its special effect was that its attack and defense was automatically one hundred points higher than the strongest monster on the field. Then Bakura played a card that made it so that monsters that where level four or higher could not attack. This made Sarah's Wicked Avitar useless, though it still protected her life points. That was Bakura played the black hole magic card and her Wicked Avitar was sent to the grave yard. This left her open for Bakura's monster to attack her Life points directly and brought them to zero. Sarah screamed as her head suddenly felt like it was being ripped opened. She herd Atemu call her name before darkness enveloped her.

Atemu and the other watched in shock as Sarah's life points fell to zero. Sarah suddenly screamed and Atemu called her name, running to the stage to catch her before she hit the ground. Atemu flipped her on to her back and gently stroked her hair out of her face. She had began to leave it down after Atemu told her it looked better like that. He could feel tear prick at his eyes as he watched Sarah's face. It looked like she was just sleeping, but Atemu and everyone knew better. Atemu silently vowed that he would defeat Bakura and get her soul out of the shadow realm. Bakura looked up at said thief as he began to chuckle.

"What is this, is the pharaoh actually missing his little toy," Atemu growled and would have attacked him if Jonochi hadn't been standing there to hold him back.

"Calm down dude, you know if you kill him then we'll never get Sarah's soul back," Jonochi said. Atemu took a deep breath and nodded. As much as he wanted to kill Bakura that instant he had to think about Sarah first. Tears continued to run down Atemu's face as he turned and walked away ignoring everyone as they called his name. He didn't care, Sarah was gone. He was supposed to protect her and he didn't and now her mind was trapped in the shadow realm. This thought continued to run through Atemu's head as he found himself in his room that he had shared with Sarah. He walked over to the bed and sat down. The door opened and Atemu looked up to see Yugi enter the room. Yugi walked over and sat on the bed as Atemu wiped his eyes.

"Are you ok Atemu?" Yugi asked in concern. Atemu smiled sadly at his aibou and nodded.

"Yes Aibou, I'll be fine, but I don't think I'll be ok until Sarah's back here," Atemu admitted. Yugi looked at Atemu sadly. Just like Atemu was Yugi's big brother, he had come to see Sarah as a little sister. Yugi knew Atemu would get her back no matter what. Yugi stood up and kissed Atemu on the forehead before leaving the room.

Bakura sat in his room his face was blank, showing no emotion. In the shadow stood another figure. Both were silent for the longest time until finally the figure laughed. To say he was crazy would have been stating the obvious, Bakura just continued to stare into space completely oblivious the other figure and continued to watch as the man laughed.

"I can not believe how well this plan is working," The figure chuckled after calming down, "Within no time the pharaoh will be ours to control ." Bakura nodded in agreement.

"Yes as soon as the girl is under my control, the pharaoh will have to submit to you master," Bakura stated. Even his voice was devoid of feelings. Marik walked out from the shadows and sat at in a chair across from Bakura. His plan had been simply, and it was easy enough to accomplish with the help of a little shadow magic, and his mullimeum rod. Soon the power of the mullinium puzzle would be his and then he would take over the world. Marik drew the rod from his back packet and flashed it. A small orb appeared in front of him. Sarah's soul was his.

Sarah blinked and looked around. She was in a small trading town, that looked as though it was ancient Egypt. Her usually short hair was down to her waist and was French braided. She was wearing a cotton dress like thing that went down to her knees and had a piece of rope tied around her waist. Metal shakles where tied placed around her wrists and ankles. Sarah blinked again, somehow the memory seemed familiar. The she remembered, it was like the dream she had back when she first got together with Atemu. A man came up to he and she gasped softly before adverting her gaze. In front of her stood Pharaoh Atem himself, and she knew the penalty for looking someone higher up in the face.

"What is your name girl?" Atem asked. Sarah paused for a moment as tears welled in her eye. Of course this Atemu wouldn't know her, but that didn't stop her from hurting. Suddenly she felt a whip come across her back and she had to stop herself from screaming.

"The Pharaoh asked you a question rat," a voice sneered. Sarah's eyes grew wide. She regconized that voice from anywhere. Before she could think on it though, another wave of pain seared across her back, "Answer him now!"

"Akana," Sarah said quickly without thinking. She didn't know why, but the words slipped out of her mouth. She felt a hand under her chin and gently turned her face up so that she was looking into softened crimson.

"I will buy her," Atem said gently stroking her cheek before turning to the slave master.

"Five gold pieces," The slave master said. The Pharaoh raised an eyebrow, but paid the gold and the slave master roughly unhooked the shackles around Sarah's wrist and ankles. Once Sarah was free she rubbed her sore wrist.

"I will allow you to walk without shackles as long as you promise not to run," Sarah nodded her head not wanting to have anything on her already sore wrists. Atem nodded and walked over to his horse and hopped on, "Hold on to the saddle." Sarah nodded again and grabbed on to part of the saddle. Atem began to slowly lead the horse through the village and towards the palace. Once they were in the outskirts of the village Sarah began to get a quessy feeling in her stomach. Something was going to happen, she just knew it. Before she even knew what had happened she felt a pain rip through her arm and she was blown backwards. She herd the guards being to shout and surround Atem, not evening noticing her. She looked down and noticed that she had been stabbed through the arms with a knife. Sarah pulled out the knife and looked at the wound. She would bleed to death if she didn't get it wrapped soon. She looked up and saw that Atem and Bakura where fighting. She watched as Atem cut Bakura's chest and the Tomb-robber cursed under his breath before pulling out. Atem turned around and saw Sarah on the ground holding her arm tightly. Sarah's vision had began to fade in and out. Atem walked over to her with a concerned look on his face. Sarah smiled gently and stood up.

"Do not worry my Pharaoh, I'll be…" Before Sarah could finished she became dizzy and fell forward. Just before she hit the ground Atem caught her and turned her over. It reminded her of when they had first met. Though before she could think about it blackness once again surrounded her.

Atemu was laying on his bed looking at the ceiling. He could only think about Sarah. He missed her so much. Suddenly a bright light filled in vision and he found himself floating in the air looking down on a scene. A girl that looked like Sarah was laying on the bed and The pharaoh was sitting next to her. Around her arms was a bandage that looked as though it had already been soked though with blood. The pharaoh was holding her hand, gently stroking it. Atemu could see the worried look on his face. Then Ishizu entered the scene.

"My pharaoh have you recived no sleep?" Ishizu asked. The pharaoh shoke his head.

"No, I don't understand why, but for some reason I feel as though I must protect her," Ishizu smiled and nodded and smiled at the pharaoh.

"I understand my pharaoh, but you will be no good if you are tired, you may sleep in one of the healing beds if you wish, so you can stay near her," The Pharaoh nodded and went to lay on the bed next to Sarah's. Then Atemu blinked and he was back in his room. He sat up and looked around. What had just happened?

Sarah groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Everything was blurry and she couldn't see. She tried to get up, but she found that her arms couldn't support her weight. She herd a chuckled and turned her head towards the sorce to the noise. As her vision cleared she saw a woman who looked like Ishizu looking down at her. Sarah blinked and looked around again. She looked like she was in a type of old healing chamber like in the movies. She turned back to Ishizu who was slowly removing the bandage from her arms, so that she could place another.

"What is your name young one?" Ishizu asked. Sarah blinked and tried to remember the name she told The Pharaoh.

"Akana," Sarah said shakily. Ishizu smiled and she finished wrapping Sarah's arm. Sarah then herd a snort and saw Atem sleeping on the cot next to her. She smiled and resisted the urge to squeal at how cute he looked. Ishizu noticed her smile and smiled herself.

"You seem to have a fancy for the Pharaoh," Ishizu said. Sarah blushed bright red, and wished she could turn over, but her arm hurt to much, "You have nothing to be ashamed of, many of the slave girls fancy him, if only it wasn't just for his body and power." Ishizu sighed sadly, and Sarah looked at her.

"Surely he has someone, I mean someone as hansom as him must have found a partner," Sarah said. Ishizu shook her head.

"The Pharaoh wants someone who loves him for him, not for his looks or the fact that he is Pharaoh." Sarah nodded in understanding. It must be rough for him. The two girls herd a groan and looked to see Atem waking up. He blinked his eyes a few time, which Sarah thought was cute, and looked at Sarah. He smiled and jumped out of bed almost like a little kid.

"I'm glad your ok Akana," Atem said happily, "I was so worried when you past out on me, I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time." Sarah giggled soft which caused Atem's heart to sore.

"Don't worry my Pharaoh, I'm sure I'll be fine," Sarah said. Suddenly she began to get sick like she was going to throw up, and her head throbbed. Ishizu was by her side in a second.

"You must be suffering the side affects from all the blood you lost," Ishizu said. She felt a hand stroke her hair and looked up to see Atem looking down at her.

"Try and sleep Akana," Atem whispered. Sarah nodded, but then she blushed light, not knowing if it was the smartest thing to ask, "What is it Akana?" Sarah looked up at Atem with pleading eyes and gently raised her arms and made a grabbing motion like a little kids wanting to be picked up. Atem seemed to know what she wanted and smiled before moving Sarah over a little and sliding in next to her. Sarah cuddled into Atem's chest before finally drifting to sleep. Atem looked at the younger in his arms and smiled slowly stroking her hair. He herd chuckling and looked over to find that his Priestess Isis had once again entered the room.

"You seem to have taken a intrest in her my Pharaoh," Isis said. Atem blushed before turning back to Sarah.

"I don't know why I seem so drawn to her Isis, but I just have this feeling that I need to protect her no matter what," Atem explained. Isis nodded and smiled in understanding.

"Love at first sight my Pharaoh, she seems like a nice girl," Isis said, "I'm sure she will be good to you." Atem smiled a thank you before turning his attention once again to the girl in his arms before drifting to sleep along side her. From the shadow a figure watched her with a smirk on his face. Soon he will be able to control the hole world!
