Disclaimer: idonotownyugioh. There, said it. let's move on.

Thanks for your reviews, and Lady MR, my memory of ancient egypt is very clouded. (totally forgot everything I learned in history) I got really bad memory. Just after I wrote the 1st chapter, I realized that Anzu should be called a priestess, not a priest. (oops) and Kylie, I was kind of writing the story in a rush, so I didn't really thought the title through. And it does sound better, so maybe I'll change the title!! (after this) oh and Black Magician Girl, I was also writing the story based on limited info. I knew that seto was a priest, but not the high one. (should have done some more researching) now that we all got that cleared up, let's seriously move on!!!! r+r!!

Note: (In your reviews for this chap, vote if the note section should stay, cuz I'm getting tired of typing it)

Anzu: Tea

Honda: Tristan

Jounouchi: Joey

Chapter 3: Questions and Jounouchi's Anger (sucky title)



"So she said, she's going to meet up with you later?" Pharaoh Yami asked his friend Jounouchi.

"Yeah, then she went into the temple."

"Baka!!! You should be keeping a close eye on her!!! You want Malik to kill her or what!!!" (baka means stupid)

Jounouchi was appalled at Yami. Normally he wouldn't scream at his friends, but today was an exception.

"Al right, I'll go back to her, but I don't think she'll appreciate the idea of being babysat."

"Just GO!!!"

Jounouchi went away very quickly, not wanting to get his eardrums get burst even more under the massive impact of Yami's voice, as the Pharaoh slid right down onto his throne. Sunset was nearing soon, and that was most oftenly the time that Malik struck, cunning and mysterious, a life lost in a heartbeat.

'I should go to my temple and pray to Ra for Anzu's safety.'

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Uh, Priestess of Light, welcome to our temple! I hope you find it suitable!!" But under that greeting, you could sense quivering in his tone.

"Uh, thanks!!" Anzu looked around. And sweatdropped. All the Priestesses and the Priests were all staring at her like crazy, stirring up uncomfortable feelings in the girl.

"How many temples there are in this town?" She might as well ask. She needed to plan out how many temples she should visit a day, during the week and a half she was staying here.

"I think there's 13. Including the one at Pharaoh Yami`s palace." The same Priestess, Ayumi, answered. Then they all started to bombard questions on her.

"Priestess of Light, what do you wash your hair with?"

"How many towns did you pray in?"

"Why did you wanted to become the Priestess of Light, anyway?"

"If you see Malik, do you got any plans how to save yourself from him?"

Amongst all those questions, Seto stood there unperturbed. Anzu was really beautiful, and still sticked out of the crowd, even with all those 35 Priests jumping up on her.

'Wait, how could I be even thinking that! If she is that beautiful, she'll probably already had someone. And I can't start thinking about settling down already, being the Priest of Future is much more important than mates!! Must resist thoughts!' He thought in anguish, pounding his head with his left hand.

Meanwhile for Anzu....

"Oh please, one at a time. I use lemon oil for my hair, I prayed in 40 towns, I wanted to be the Priestess of Light because I wanted to save my country from Malik, and I didn't come up with a plan to escape Malik yet, if I do meet up with him. I prefer not to think about that." Anzu put that last statement rather sadly. She hadn't at all thought about that, and that question had plunged her into a depression.

"Lemon oil?? What brand?!" They kept shouting more questions, especially about frivolous and unnecessary things, due to Priest Seto's disgust.

' When will these girls learn, make-up and hair styles aren't important!!!' He really did felt sorry for the poor Priestess. Those fools didn't realize she simply wasn't there to be the guide on fashion, she was there to try to be the savior of Egypt.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

'He thinks he could just boss his friends around like that, ever since he became Pharaoh!! I wish his father hadn't died!!!!!' Jounouchi was stomping down the street, giving off a mad and disgusted vibe to the peasants and merchants, who wisely chosen to stay away from him. Past experiences was often deadly, and the people didn't want to experience it again.

A couple of snotty sons to high officers, unfamiliar to Jounouchi and his bad temper, was running around their moms, when they noticed him, sulking and all.

"Who's that guy?"

"Maybe another one of those retarded peasants. He sure knows how to stomp."

"Let's make fun of him!! He wouldn't even understand what we're saying about him, him being so stupid and all!!!"

That really set Jounouchi off. His hands were already in fists, and his nails only dug into his palms more. He turned around. And what came next, will send the boys scurrying to their mommys` backs.

He sucker punched one of them in the jaw. And that felt good!! Anger at Yami, and at the snots were released at the nearest and unlucky kid. And from his loud moanings of pain, he guessed that kid got what he deserved. (still the gangster type in the past)

"What you do that for, you PEASANT!!" One of the moms, a stout, beak-nosed lady, called out to Jounouchi.

"Your husbands may be the high officials for Pharaoh Yami, but I'm the son of the Head Chief of Military!! Besides, you need to get that nose fixed!!!" He spat that out, shocking the many crowds of people that had all gathered to see what the commotion was all about. Insulting the wife of a high official was NOT a good idea.

"Why you impertinent child...."

"If you try to insult me back, I'll sic my dad on you, and he have a MUCH higher rank than your husband!!!!!! And he'll surely beat you to a pulp!!!"

The woman growled. Being beaten verbally by a child, her son having a broken jaw..today was NOT her day.

"Fine!! But I'm certainly going to pray to Isis that she brings you eternal bad luck!!!"

"Great!" Jounouchi screamed back. He had a back-up plan for that.

'Then I'll just pray to Geb to bring her bad luck too!!!' (Geb is the earth god) What he just thought was his back-up plan.

Seeing that the fight had ended between Jounouchi and the grotesque wife, they all left, keeping in mind to go talk to their children never to make fun of strangers on the streets. That was good. At least he didn't have everybody staring at him no more.



A/N: again with the usual, "what ya think!" please r+r!!! thought I won't probably see them, since the computer won't show me at all!!!!!!! Stupid, dammit computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But at least I can see how much I got with the stats section. And do vote. For the sake of potential longer chapters, and not so much mumbo-jumbo at the beginning of the fic!!!!!! And I really hate that will and grace commerical on channel 11!!!!!! It's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHH!!!!!!! Sorry if there's not much romance, and so much bashing from jounouchi. -_-; I like stories that the characters develops a romance slowly. Ja ne!!
