:: Chapter Two ::
The young pharaoh watched the boy in amusement as Yugi gaped at the throne room in amazement. He chuckled softly, leaning forward in his seat to peer closer at the boy who looked so much like himself.
There was something special about Yugi, he was sure of it. The brilliant innocence shining clearly in the youth's violet eyes and radiating off his very being. Yami didn't notice when the boy had finally turned his attention back towards him, looking at him questionably.
"Pharaoh?" Yugi asked uncertainly, feeling nervous with the Pharaoh of Kemet watching him so intensely with his dark ruby eyes.
Yami blinked, then looked at him apologetically. "I am sorry, Yugi." He then looked at him sternly, turning back to business. "Now, perhaps you care to explain why my guard found you just outside the palace yet in the palace walls?"
Yugi turned his gaze to the floor. "I did not know my own whereabouts. It was too hot, and I was seeking refuge from the sun. I...I am sorry, O Great One. Please, show me mercy..." He couldn't hide the quiver of fear in his voice despite his best attempts. He was terrified the pharaoh would punish him, or perhaps even take away his soul.
Yami sighed, leaning back slowly, never taking his gaze off the boy. "I see..." He allowed a soft smile to grace his lips. "You will not be punished, young Yugi. However, what of your family? Why weren't you with them at home instead of out in the summer sun?"
Yugi's voice caught in his throat at the thought of his grandfather. He shook his head, looking up at the pharaoh. "My grandfather died earlier today. I have no one else... I have no home..."
The pharaoh blinked in surprise. The boy, the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on, didn't have a home or anyone to love and care for him? By Ra, that wasn't right! Normally, he would send a boy like this to a temple to study, but Yugi... Yugi was special. He wanted something better for the boy. Or did he?
No... He wanted the boy. For his own. As much as he hated to believe it, he felt something for this boy. Love, perhaps? Or maybe just lust. He couldn't tell, for he had never felt anything like this for anyone in such a long time, he forgot what it felt like.
He could easily sympathize with Yugi. All of his known family was dead as well, and soon he would have to either father an heir or name one. For years, he had wanted nothing more than someone to love. And now... Maybe, just maybe, he had that chance...

A/N: Yeah, I know. Bad place to end, but it's time for another chapter, even though this one was pathetically short. Thanks again to those of you who have reviewed! Yami and Yugi extend their gratitude.
