Episode 10

The next week was hard for Sarah because she had tried to continue with her chores one handed. She was so happy when her arm was healed enough for her to start using it again. Atem and Heba often sat and talked with her when she wasn't busy. Even though everything was good, Sarah couldn't get the look Bakura had out of her head. Someone was controlling him, but who, and why? These questions would give Sarah a headache so she tried not to think about it to much. She knew that in the series Marik Ishtar had controlled the mullinium rod which could control peoples minds, but Marik wasn't in ancient Eygpt. At least not that she knew of. Sarah was sitting next to Atem in the throne room, when the council mentioned that an important guest had arrived. Sarah looked up just as Marik Ishtar himself walked into the room. Sarah noticed Atem sit up a little.

"Binet, it is good to once again see you in my throne room," The Marik look-a-like bowed at the waist.

"And it is good to be back my pharaoh," Sarah noticed the slight hostility behind the remark and was surprised the Atem didn't notice it. Binet…Sarah thought about it for a second, wasn't that name suppose to mean evil? Sarah had to hide her sheepish smile. Where these people that blind? The council continued with what they were doing, filling Binet in on the discussion.

Once they were back in Atem's room Sarah quickly got Atem, and Heba, who had joined them, dinner, before getting some herself. She tried to listen to the conversation Atem and Heba where having, but the thought of the Marik look-a-like keeped coming to her mind. She had noticed the mullinium rod hanging from his belt. Could he be the one controlling Bakura? The question then though was why? Why would he want to control Bakura? And why did it seem that he was after her? She was startled from her thought when Atem waved a hand in front of Sarah's face.

"Are you okay Akana, you sorta spaced out on us," Atem said looking at Sarah in concern. She smiled, but shook her head.

"Don't worry Atemu, I'm fine," It wasn't until she had said it that she had said Atemu instead of Atem. Said person raised an eyebrow in confussion.

"Who is Atemu, and why does he have a name similar to mine?" Atem asked. Sarah tried to think of something quickly.

"Uh, well, you see, were I came from I had a really close friend, and his name was uh, Yami Atemu, and I guess I sort of got the names mixed up," Sarah lied, but Atem seemed satisfied. He returned to his conversation with Heba and Sarah looked out the balcony. She still had to figure this out if she ever wanted to return home. Then something on Atem's wall caught her eye. There were hieroglyphs along the wall of the mullinium items, but instead of only being seven, she could make out eight pictures. That last seemed to be a braclet or bangle with the eye of horus.

"Atem, I have a question, how many mullinium items are there?" Atem looked at Sarah then noticed where she was looking on the wall.

"Eight where origanlly made, but we only know where seven are, no one knows what happened to the eighth one," Sarah blinked. That had to be what Marik was after, but how did she know it was even him? It just had to be. Marik had the mullinium rod, so no one else could control Bakura. But where was the eighth mullinium item, and how was she suppose to find it before Marik? She had no idea were to even begin looking. Sarah internally sighed.

Atemu slowly opened his eyes and sat up, remembering that today was his duel with Seto. After this duel he would be one more step closer to saving Sarah from the shadow realm. He stood up and began to get ready. Once he was done there was a knock on his door, and he went to open it. Atemu growled when he saw who it was.

"Anzu, what do you want now?" Atemu asked. Anzu smiled and batted her eye lashes in a way she thought was seductive.

"Well, I just came by to wish you good luck on your duel with Kaiba today," Anzu said pressing her body up against Atemu's, "And I thought maybe afterwards me and you could go out to celebrate your victory." Atemu growled again and pushed Anzu away from him.

"I have had it with you trying to seduce me, what is it going to take to get it through your thick skull. '.YOU!" Atemu growled enunciating each of the last words. Anzu glared at Atemu.

"I don't know what you see in that slut, you know she probelly like it when Bakura fuck her," Anzu commented snidely. Atemu saw red and slapped Anzu in the face.

"If you ever say something like that about Sarah again I swear you will regreat it, and don't you dare even try and come near me again." With that Atenu walked off leaving Anzu on the floor staring off at Atemu in shock, before glaring. She had to get rid of the brat somehow.

That night Sarah layed next to Atem who was fast asleep. She had tried to fall asleep, but found she couldn't. It was like there was something calling her and she just couldn't figure out what it was. Finally after what felt like hours she sat up and walked quietly out of the room knowing that she would be in trouble if she got caught. She slowly made her way down the hall, watching out for guards as they made their rounds. She was running down a covered hallway with the palace gardens to her left, when she suddenly bumped into someone. She looked up and to her horror Marik was standing there. Marik looked down at Sarah and smirked.

"Why hello there, aren't you the pharaoh's personal slave, you wouldn't be trying to run away now would you?" Marik asked backing Sarah up against the wall.

"N-no Lord B-Binet, I was just uh…about to go get some water," Marik rasied an eyebrow.

"You can stop with the charade now, I know you know who I am, and I certainly know who you are," Marik whispered. Sarah shivered in fear.

"You're the one controlling Bakura, aren't you Marik?" Sarah asked trying to keep her voice from shacking. Marik chuckled.

"Ah, so you do know, well I would suggest not telling anyone, unless you want a repeat perform with Bakura," Marik chuckled as the girl under him began to shake. Suddenly a voice behind him shouted.

"Binet release her this instant!" Marik turned to look at Atem.

"But my pharaoh, this girl was trying to escape," Marik lied trying to look innocent. He let Sarah down and the girl stared in shock as Atem glared at her. He actually believe Marik?

"She did now did she?" Marik nodded his head.

"I shall leave you to deal with her my Pharaoh," Marik turned on his heals and walked away. Atem walked over to Sarah and rasied a hand to slap her. Sarah was shocked as the had connected with her cheek, knocking her on to the floor.

"I do not appreciate those who abuse my trust," Atem growled, "From now on you are to call me by my title, and you will sleep in my slave chamber with the door locked, you will stand behind my throne during meetings and you will not be allowed to sit, am I understood," Sarah nodded lowering her gaze from Atem, "Also you will refrain from speaking with Heba, I'll give you the last of my punishment when we get back to my chambers." Sarah whimpered fearfully as Atem ruffly pulled Sarah up and dragged her back to his chamber. When they got there Atem throw Sarah to the floor and walked over to his closet. Sarah began to shake when Atemu pulled out a leather whip from inside. Atem looked at Sarah again before walking over to the scared girl on the floor. Sarah screamed as the whip hit her back, ripping skin open. After what seemed like forever Atem stopped and he picked Sarah up and dragged her over to a room that was connected with his. He throw her in before closing and locking the door. Sarah simply laid on the floor sobbing before drifting to sleep.

Anzu walked into Sarah's hospital room and glared at the young girl laying on the bed. She walked over and gently began pulling the montoring wires from Sarah body, before stratling her waist. 'After today Atemu will be mine,' Anzu thought with a smirk. She tightly wrapped her hands around Sarah's throat and began to strangle the girl. Anzu smirked as her face began to turn blue. It was working perfectly, until Yugi and the gang walked in. Everyone gasped when they saw what Anzu was doing. Jounochi ran forward and knocked Anzu off Sarah, holding her back while Atemu check over Sarah. Atemu gave a distressed cry when he relised Sarah had not started breathing yet. Doctors herd the noise and ran in to see what was happening. They moved Atemu out of the way and began to try and reive her.

Sarah was standing behind Atem during his usual meeting. She was so tired since she hadn't been sleeping properly because of her back, and Atem had refused her food that day because she had not finished everything do to the tiredness. It was half way through the meeting when she began breathing deeply. It had suddenly become hard to breath, but she didn't say anything for fear of being punished. It got to the point where she couldn't breath at all, before she relised someone was strangling her body. Finally lack of air got to her and she blacked out.

Atem herd a thud and looked behind him to find Sarah passed out on the floor. He was about to yell at her, when he noticed her face was turning blue and her chest wasn't moving. She wasn't breathing. Atem jumped out of his chair and ran over to her and rolled her over on to her back. He was trying to get her up when Isis suddenly ran over. Isis told Atem to pick her up and carry her to the healing chambers before kicking him out. Atem waited, pacing in the hallway, hoping Sarah would be alright. He relised he had been way to harsh on her, and hoped that he would have a chance to make it better.
