Chapter 11
Atem was almost finished with his meeting, but had one more thing to take care of before he dealt with the assassin. "I have one more thing to announce before we deal with the assassin. As you know my personal servant is with child and that it is mine."
The councilmen started to whisper amongst each other amazed that a boy could get pregnant and that they were going to have an heir to the throne. "And as you all know that my great, great, great, great grandfather had made a decree that royalty was forbidden from fallen in love with their servants. But now that I am Pharaoh I am lifting said decree so that I can marry Yugi and see my son or daughter grow up within these walls. So let it be written so let it be done."
The councilmen cheered happy for Yugi and the Pharaoh, but their cheers were silenced when two guards came their way dragging in the assassin from last night. "Lets get this over with so that I can tell Yugi the good news. Seth you're up."
Seth nodded and walked over to the assassin to ask him the questions. "Who sent you?" The man kept his head low not answering Seths question. "Answer the question! Who sent you to assassinate the Pharaoh?!" The man looked up with an evil grin on his face. "Who said I was after the Pharaoh?" Atem starred at the man then gasped.
"My Pharaoh what is it?" Atem stood and made his way up to the man grabbing him around his throat. "You were sent by Raba weren't you?! You were with him the day he brought Yugi to me! Even though you were standing outside the room I knew you were there! Raba had you come and try to kill Yugi after I had told him to never lay a hand on him ever again! But now that you are captured you can never hurt him again."
The man smirked and chuckled evilly in between gasps. "Who said I was working for Raba? That pathetic coward won't set foot in Egypt let alone send me to end that pathetic slaves life. And speaking of that slave of yours my job still isn't done yet."
Atem gasped and released the mans throat and started to run out of the room. "Guards! With me!" Atem burst through the doors and ran towards the garden with Seth and a small handful of guards. 'Please Gods of Egypt don't let anything happen to my love and our baby.'
Atem turned a corner and saw that Yugi was gathering flowers for their room. "Yugi! Are you ok? Where is Kisara?" Yugi jumped and nearly dropped his bouquet of flowers when Atem called out to him.
"Atem? You startled me. Kisara went to get me a basket for the flowers. Wh...what's wrong?" Atem breathed a sigh of relief then smiled calming Yugi. "Everything is fine Yugi. I just wanted to make sure that you were ok."
Yugi pouted and brought the flowers up to his face to hide his blush. "Why do you always have to embarrass me in front of everyone? I can take care of myself even with you, the guards, Kisara, Mana, Isis, Seth, and everyone else watching over me."
Atem chuckled, took a rose out of Yugis bouquet and placed it in his hair behind his ear. "I know that you can take care of yourself, but until the baby is born you will have to be watched to make sure nothing happens. I nearly lost you once I don't want to loose you again."
Yugi smiled and was about to kiss Atem when a loud noise from behind them caused them to turn towards it. Coming their way was another assassin who had a long, jagged dagger in his hand running straight for Yugi and Atem. "You shall not have him you pathetic slave!"
Atem pulled Yugi away and into the arms of Seth. "Atem be careful!" Atem pulled out his sword and the two blades clashed. Atem had the upper hand being smaller and quicker than the assassin, but the assassin was sneaky and faked an injury.
"Ahh...you got me Pharaoh!" Atem lowered his sword allowing two guards to apprehend the assassin. But as Atem turned to check on Yugi the assassin lunged forward and striked. "Time to finish what my brother started!"
Atem saw the assassin and jumped in front of Yugi causing the assassin to strike Atems back leaving behind a large, deep gash along his back. Atem cried out in pain, but managed to stay on his feet. "Atem! Atem are you ok?"
Yugi worriedly placed his hand on Atems shoulder, but moved it away when he felt a dark presence come from him. Atem looked up at Yugi his third eye opened and his other eyes glowing brightly scarring Yugi into backing away from him. "A...Atem?"
Atem turned his attention back to the assassin who was now being held down by the guards. He then raised his hand and pointed at him. "No longer shall you or your brother harm the ones I love...or anyone for that matter."
Atems voice had changed from a deep and rich voice to multiple voices talking at once almost like the gods were speaking for him. Yugi hid behind Seth afraid of what Atem was going to do. Yugi jumped and grasped Seths long tunic when the assassin cried out.
With the last bit of courage that he had he peeked out from behind Seth and gasped in horror when he saw that the assassin was now unconscious in the guards hands and Atem was starting to sway back and forth.
Suddenly Atem fell forward causing Yugi to lunge forward and catch him before he fell. Yugi brought Atem back into his arms and noticed that he was sweating profusely and was panting heavily. "Seth what just happened?"
Seth kneeled down beside Atem and Yugi and placed his hand on Atems forehead. "If I'm not mistaken. If Atem prayed to the gods to keep you and your baby safe then the gods gave him the power to do so. And since it was a new power for him he couldn't control it and passed out."
Yugi breathed a sigh of relief then turned his attention back to the assassin. "What about him? Did Atem..?" Seth shook his head no. "It seems that the assassin passed out from fear. He and his so called brother will be sent back to the dungeons until Atem wakes up."
Yugi leaned down and kissed Atem on the forehead then moved away so that Seth could take him to Isis. As Yugi stood to leave Kisara had finally returned with a basket in hand and a worried look on her face.
"Yugi I was gone for about 5 minutes. Seth is carrying the Pharaoh away and there's a man who is unconscious being dragged off. What happened here?" Yugi picked up his flowers and placed them in the basket then walked away to the healing chambers explaining everything to Kisara.
Demonic, Yami, and Yugi: 'mouths hung wide open'
Me: What?
Yami: Girl you are dark.
Demonic: And I thought I was dark minded.
Well that's not the worst part wait till later on in the story it will get a whole lot gruesome. That is a warning just to let you know. I will put up a warning to let you know, but don't know when.
Yugi: Please Review
