Sorry I haven't updated in a while are computer crashed! But I'm back! Okay
let me explain this chapter. This is supposed to be the past. I will right
at the beginning of the chapter what time period. Also I don't know Yami
Yugi or Yami Bakura's real names so I will call Yami Yugi Yu-Gi-Oh and Yami
Bakura, Bakura. Wow that's original! Oh before I forget at this point Yu-Gi-
Oh is supposed 2 be 13 at that age in Ancient Egypt people were supposed to
be married I know but my people don't listen so Nah! Anyway on with da fic!
Ancient Egypt at the pharaoh's palace:
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" Artemis shouted, "That crocodile was defending his family! You can't go and kill him for that!"
The pharaoh sighed as he looked at the young girl. She was young. Too young to understand the balance of man and beast. Her blue eyes looked at him pleadingly. Her hair was brown with streaks of silver running through it. No wonder why the prince had fallen in love with her! She was beautiful, but powerful. The girl was a sorceress and a powerful one. But she was too young to realize it. So young and yet... the pharaoh shook his head slowly.
"Artemis, I am aware that you can speak to these animals and I'm aware you care for them deeply. But you promised they would leave my workers alone! I could have had them killed, but I spared them once and now this happens . . . "
The pharaoh turned to his adviser Null "Order that any crocodiles that come within fifteen feet of my men are to be killed."
Artemis glared at the pharaoh, tears welling up in her eyes. "So that's it! You suddenly have the power to kill innocent animals!"
"I am the pharaoh I do as I wish!" he said sternly. "Ple-"
But it was to late Artemis had already turned and was walking away. The pharaoh shook his head. But Null looked at her and grinned.
"Silly girl! Talking to beasts! The pharaoh spares you and you repay him by that behavior! You are a disobedient brat! You belong with your brother, banished from Egypt!"
The pharaoh looked at his adviser angrily. He was about to say something, but Artemis cut him off, speaking over her shoulder.
"How dare you speak of my brother in that tone? Bakura is a better person then you will ever be!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't know being a thieving tomb raider was a star quality!"
The pharaoh could see Artemis was about to turn back around and lunge on Null so he decided to intervene. "Enough everyone!"
Artemis just glared a moment before she started to stormed off.
**Later down by the river**
Artemis sat, staring into the water.
/Why does the pharaoh have to be so stubborn? Every thing has a right to live. The crocodile was protecting its family! I mean the men were throwing rocks at the crocodiles!/ She was interrupted from her thoughts by a familiar nudge in her side. She didn't bother to turn around she knew who it was.
"Hi Lurk."
The old crocodile grinned, "Don't worry. I'll tell the others to stay away from that area."
"That's not the point! Nobody has the right to take the life of an innocent! Whether man or beast!"
"This is true but it isn't as easy as you think young one."
Artemis turned and looked at the old croc. "Why can't they see what I see? The good in you and your kind?"
"Not all people are sorceresses with the power to talk to nature."
"Point taken! But I'm sure Yami would agree with me!"
"You miss him don't you?"
Artemis looked back at the water. "He's been gone three months, but it seems like three years!"
"I'll take that as a yes!" the old croc said as he started poking her with his tail.
Artemis smiled, "Thanks for cheering me up Lurk."
"No problem. You know we crocodiles can be very therapeutic!" Lurk looked up at the sky. "It's getting late so I'll see you tomorrow."
"Right".
The croc slowly crawled into the water. Artemis smiled as she watched him swim away.
/He's right it's getting late the sun will set soon/ She looked over in the direction of the palace. Someone was running toward her.
"YaMi!" she called as she got up and started running toward him.
She sprang into his arms and he twirled her around.
"Yami I missed you soooo much!" she said looking into his eyes.
"And I've missed you," he said giving her a happy grin. "I have so much to tell you about my training! I have finally mastered my shadow powers! And I have some great cards. How about you? Have you been practicing? I mean you don't want to fall behind!"
Artemis scowled and turned away from him. "You have been gone THREE MONTHS and all you can talk about is duel monsters! Well if that's the way you feel maybe you should kiss your cards goodnight rather then me! And for your information PRINCE YAMI I'm doing just fine with my training!"
Yami winced. He hated it when she called him Prince Yami.
"Artemis, I'm sorry I didn't mean to ignore you." He put his arms around her. "I love you and I would never hurt you on purpose."
She sighed and turned to look at him. "Why can't I stay mad at you?"
*****Later at the palace*****
Artemis looked into the mirror, trying to figure out what to wear to Yami's "coming home banquet".
"Hmm should I were my blue gown or the silver one?" she thought aloud looking at the 2 dresses.
"The silver one," a gruff voice said.
Artemis turned around and saw a young man with silver hair and dark brown eyes. She squealed with delight as she ran to hug him.
"Bakura! I'm so glad to see you! It's been a whole years since you're last visit!"
Bakura gave a rare grin. "Well it's kind of hard to sneak into the royal palace."
"You wouldn't have to sneak in if you didn't if you didn't rob tombs!"
"If you're going to start preaching I'm leaving."
"Oh, don't! I promise I won't start!" she gave him a little pout.
Bakura looked away trying to act like it wasn't working. But he finally broke. "Fine I'll stay!"
"Great!" Artemis said, beaming. "Oops! I forgot I have to go to a banquet. But I'll cancel!"
Bakura grinned. "It's okay you go have fun."
Artemis frowned. "Are you sure?"
Bakura nodded.
"Thank you Bakura! You're the best twin a girl could ask for!" she said hugging him.
"Yeah I know!" he said smugly.
Artemis gave him a quizzical look. "Don't touch ANYTHING!"
Bakura gave her a fake innocent look, "Me?"
"Yes you!"
"Fine!"
"Thank you"
Bakura glared at her.
"I have to get ready for the banquet so I'll see you later!"
And with that Artemis left for the banquet.
Bakura grinned. Alone in Artemis's room...the possibilities were endless. He could "borrow" some money or play with one of her magic weapons. He knew exactly what he wanted to do. Sleep! He ran over and plopped on her bed.
/Were did she get this thing??? It's sooooooooo soft! Sure beats sleeping in the sand or at some two-bit inn! Oh well time for some well deserved sleep/.
And without a second thought, Bakura fall asleep.
(Okay I'm too lazy to go and right the whole banquet so use your imaginations!)
After the banquet, Artemis chatted with Bakura a bit more.
"Aw! Are you sure you don't want to stay until morning?" Artemis whined.
Bakura sighed, "I told you it is too risky. Do you want me to get caught?"
"Well no. But here take this." Artemis handed Bakura a medium sized pouch with money in it.
Bakura grinned, "Thanks Artemis! I'll try and stop by again soon!"
"Right good luck! And don't get caught!"
"Like I ever do!" And with that Bakura disappeared into the shadows
Hmmm that didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Oh well thanks for the reviews keep um come in!
