Britt kept Adam by her as she saw the guards increasing security and looking through the area. As she stayed there a guard walked to her "hey the archer fled. we did not get a good look at him but the pharaoh is pretty shaken. you should go to your chambers with him." he said to her and Britt nodded. After that she stared heading to Atems chambers and Adam followed behind her. She wondered who the archer was "could it of been Bakura" she thought Whenever a guard would pass them he would hide but still follow Britt. Once there Britt let their presence be known and Atem looked up from his thoughts and motioned them in.

A guard walked by. "Adam you will stay in Britts room tonight." he said. Atem nodded. "Britt, you will stay with me if you want." he said. "I can have a guard bring over your belongings." Atem told her and Britt agreed since it was best to keep Adam close. Even if it meant her old room and since she would soon be married to Atem she didn't find a problem with it. Atem smiled and walked towards the window. "I am having several people track down your real parents adam trust me we will find them." He said then walked over and kneeled in front of him. "lets get you trested for this." he said looking at his wound. "or atleast change the bandage before the sun fully sets."

Watching them Britt wondered if there was something she could do to help. Since she knew a few things about Medical. Adam showed his shoulder was already bandaged medically. "I know a few things about medicine." He told Atem who smirked "Just like Britt." he said laughing lightly. the sun set and the hallway torches was lit. "if you want you can explore around a bit before going to bed but don't stay up too long." he told Adam

Britt smiled as she noticed the torches be lit something about the torches being lit always put her in awe as she saw them. It was a nice way to look through the hall. Adam nodded. "maybe a chef is still up." he said running out. Atem snickered. "he may be small and mischievous but he is still a child." he said walking to the bed.

Britt held back a laugh "well most children can be but even the ones who can be mischievous can become one of the best people." She said and thought about her childhood before her mom died. She had been a little bit of a trouble maker when she was little with sneaking out of her parents house to go sneak around with Zoey. He smirked. "Let me guess you were one?" he asked holding out his hand. "Not that I care. I am marrying a beautiful woman." Britt walked over to him and put her hand in his as she listened to him. She slightly blushed a little at hearing everything but smiled "well kinda. I would sneak out with Zoey." She told him glad that he was honest of his opinion of her.

"so thats how you know her." He said with a smirk then kissed her neck. It sent a chill down her spine but she couldn't help but smile. "What else will you tell me?" He asked her and she gave it some thought. Britt liked the feelings she felt whenever she was around him. "well I know you heard me when we were at my dads house. That song was something I just made up as a kid so whenever I want to relax I would sing it. My parents and sister thought I had some kind of talent for singing but I didn't think much of it." She told him though she remembered him telling her that he wanted to know her hopes,dreams and interests.

"Ha trust me you are talented. as am I with my ocarina." he said pulling it out. "My mother gave this too me. told me that one day it will give me a wonderous gift. but I already have you so I wonder what the gift would be." he told her. Britt found that to be interesting on what he said about his Ocarina. "ok, guess we'll have to wait and see." She said though she had doubts he'd like to hear about what was going on during the three years before they got together. Atem nodded."yeah it is. I can't wait to see." he placed it down. "but right now I just want to be with you." he said leaning in to kiss her.

Britt listened to him and saw him leaning in to kiss her. When she felt his lips come in contact with hers she kissed him back. Her thought on today was that it wasn't all bad and she had been able to spend time with him most of day. He kissed her passionately wrapping his arms around her. He felt calm and happy just to be with her. Britt closed her eyes enjoying the kiss as she slipped her arms around his neck. Being with him made her happy. Any worry she would of had was gone and she felt safe with Atem. Atem stopped and slipped his shirt off then kissed her again. Britt had opened her eyes and noticed that he took his shirt off. She kissed him back when she felt him kiss her again. Whenever she was near him like this she knew he had this way of making her feel special. He smiled into the kiss. he let his hand slip under her shirt drifting up her back. Britt felt his hand on her back and liked the feeling of his touch.

Adam had run downstairs and ran into the kitchen. he saw a chef there,. "hi can you make me food?" eh asked. the chef smirked. "only if you help." Adam walked over to the counter and started watching and learning how to cook. Adam smiles as he placed his making into the oven. the chef smiled. "this is awesome." he said after the pastry came out and he bit into it. "you can help me out anytime." Adam smiled and nodded. "allright." he ran upstairs and into his room. he plopped onto his bed and fell asleep.

The next morning Britt was asleep laying close to Atem as she had no regrets at all on what her and Atem did. Today was unknown to her and Atem but both hoped for a great day. Atem had his arms around her as they were both asleep. Here in his room he cared for no one more than he cared for Britt at the time. Everything was peaceful and calm for them until they heard a scream from the next room. Both jumped up dressed and went to the next room where Adam was. The archer was there with a knife near Adams neck.

Britt didn't say anything as Atem demanded that the archer let him go. The man snickered. "my my. he has arrived eh Atem? I bet that's what your thinking." the intruder said sounding like Bakura he grabbed Adam and held the knife by his neck. "I want the mirror." Atem growled. "If i get it the boy goes free." Atem nodded grimly understanding. "Britt go get it." Britt didn't trust it but she did as he said. She picked up the mirror "I don't trust this man." She thought but knew she could only trust Atem on his judgment. She walked back to him having the mirror in her hand. Atem smiled. "tilt it a little to the side." Atem said hoping Britt knew the mirror would catch the light and blind the archer. The archer tilted his head and let his guard down. he looked at the mirror. Atem smirked knowing what was coming next.

Britt did exactly as Atem told her wondering what exactly he was thinking. She noticed the mirror catch the light as she tilted it like Atem had told her to. The light flashed the archer and Adam ran free he hugged Britt as Atem launched himself forward and crashed into the archer. he pinned him to the floor and stripped off the mask. Bakura smiled grimly into his face. "hello old friend." he said before kicking Atem off and jumping out the window. Atem got up and looked outside but he saw nothing. "dammit."

Britt's mouth dropped in horror at seeing Bakura because of her strange dream. "No, he really is back. This can't be possible." She thought. she looked down at Adam "are you ok?" She asked but was worried about Atem since Atem had been kicked by Bakura. Zoey was leading the bandits to the palace keeping watch on all their movements since she had some doubts. It was different to know that they would be able to live better.

Atem rubbed his head. "bastard. I will find him." He said. He kneeled down next to Adam. "are you alright." Adam slowly nodded. "He came for me...I knew he would!" he said spitefully. Atem sighed and looked down. "I'll up security." he walked outside the door and rubbed his head. He informed the guards of the bandits arrival and how they would be living there and guarding the palace. some were relieved while others were spiteful but kept quite. the rest didn't care much for it. Adam hugged tightly to Britt. "I don't want him to come back." he said. "Bakura will hurt me worse then he did earlier."

Britt looked at Adam "we'll stop him. Zoey will help and make sure that you are kept safe. She won't hurt you." She told Adam and had him come with her. She walked over to Atem "are you ok?" She asked worried about him. Zoey kept watch on their surroundings when it was getting close to the palace. "if you're out there Baku, I'll take you down." She thought as she kept watch. When they got to the front it wasn't as bad as she had thought it would of been.

Adam nodded. "okay." he said. He let go of her and fiddled with his hands. "Uh I learned to make something last night. I would like to bake it for you." he said. Atem looked over to him and smiled. "excellent and I would be delighted to try it." Atem looked at Britt and nodded. "I am fine. just a bit stressed." he said walking back into his room and dressing formally.

Britt looked at Adam with a smile "I'd love to try whatever you make Adam." She told him as she noticed her friend servants start to come out of their rooms. Her main three friends walked over to them and Britt couldn't help but smile "Adam, these are people I trust and can help you if you ever need it. Miranda, Heather, and Olivia." She told him. Adam timidly waved. "H-Hi" he said. Atem nodded to the servants then walked outside to the group of guards yelling at each other. "what's going on?" Atem asked. "If the bandits are coming in I'm out." One said throwing down his spear. the other guards tried to stop him but they couldn't. "Don't worry I am not concerned with one or two guards leaving. as long as they do not come back to harm us."

The girls nodded smiling at him "it is nice to meet you." Miranda said deciding to speak up. "Adam stay with them, I have some personal matters to take care of for tomorrow." She told him and ran off to where the royal tailors would be. She knew the room well since she had been in here more than once. When she stepped in the tailors noticed her quickly since they had been there when Atem had said the announcement of their engagement. "I was wondering if you could help me with getting my dress for the public wedding prepared." Britt asked them since it was on her list of things to do.

The tailors nodded and waved her in. "we'll take some measurement and we will have to ask you what kind of dress do you want?" Adam walked over to the girls. "since your friends of Britt i want to ask you. I want to repay her kindness towards me but I do not know how. can you help me?" he asked. Atem sighed and waved the guards off once everything calmed down and looked at Zoey. "welcome friends. I will show you to your quarters."

Britt walked in and let them take measurements and when she described it as a kind of regular dress. As she described it like it was kind of short in the bottom. With the deadline being that she needed it tomorrow she let them know about it the wedding being tomorrow. she asked for some purple to be interpreted in it too. After the measurements were taken and she told them the description she knew she would need to be getting to the dining hall. They nodded in trying to help him but they didn't know how exactly to help him. Zoey nodded "thank you for inviting us Pharaoh." She told him

Atem nodded. "it was no trouble." he said. "a few guards left but it was no big deal." he said turning around. "please fallow." he said walking through the doors. "your quarters will be with the servants. my apologies for not making it better but it was on a whim. but you can decorate however you want. just no...death or anything to scare anybody okay?" He told the people with Zoey. the tailors nodded and got to work.

After that Britt went to find Atem and Zoey. Everything seemed to be going fine until she heard someone announce that the Princess of Syria was here to visit. Even though Britt was engaged to Atem hearing of Princess Anzu's arrival made her blood boil since she couldn't stand her.

What will happen? What will Bakura do? Can Britt be able to keep her mouth shut or will Atem not let the princess boss her around?
