Seto:Where's Yami? He better be in this chapter since I've been by myself
for the past two...
Me: He's putting on his costume right now.. YAMI ,ARE YOU DONE YET?!?!
Yami: *from the other side of room* I'm not coming out!!!!!!
Me: Come on..Its not that bad!
Yami: I look utterly ridiculous.....
Me: Just come out already -_-
(Yami come out)
Seto: *rolls on the floor laughing*
Me: its not that bad....
(Yami looks angrily at the laughing Seto and starts to walk towards him with his hands into fists)
Me: Umm..Yami? What are you doing?
DESERT MOON
"Big brother?" said the Mokuba, knocking on the door,"Big brother, its almost time for the ceremony. King Yami is waiting for you to arrive in the ballroom." There was no reply. Mokuba grew impatient and opened the door. Inside Seto was sound asleep, holding a pillow tightly in his arms. Mokuba shoke him roughly. "Wake up, Seto!" he yelled.
Seto opened his eyes. He could just make out the outline of a big tuff of black hair beside him. "Mokuba, what is it?" He sat up and rubbed his eyes vigurously. "The Ceremony tonight! Don't you remember?!?!" yelled Mokuba as he ran across the room to get Seto's headdress. Seto's eyes instantly snapped open. While trying to get out the bed, he slipped on the covers and fell head first on the stone floor. "Stop playing, Seto." scolded Mokuba, "I don't even have time to play right now."
*****************************************************************
Yami started to pace around the throne. "Where has Seto gone to? He should be here by now. It isn't like him to be late." The door opened. "King Yami?" said a soft voice," All of your guests are here. I request that you present yourself immediately." Yami turned around and saw Queen Tea entering the chamber, closing the door behind her.
"I can't do it," Yami said," the Pharoah of all egypt is out there and Seto hasn't even arrived yet." He looked at her for support. He wanted her wise advice. Seto is a good adviser, but Tea had the best advice on emotional matters. Her features softened when he looked at her and her mouth curved into a sincere smile.
"Yami, look at you. You're becoming too dependent on Seto. You need to do some things by yourself." Yami sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He stood up bravely. "Thanks Tea, you always had a way of making me feel better." Tea blushed slightly but Yami didn't notice.
"Do you want to go out by yourself this time?" teased Tea.
There was a moment of hesitation. "Okay....I'm ready."
Tea watched Yami began to slowly walked towards the doors. When he was 5 feet away. General Joey stuck his head in the room. "Yami, Seto's here. He's outside talking to someone." Yami chest fell. "Good, now I don't have to do this by myself."
Tea's jaw dropped. " I thought you said you were doing this WITHOUT Seto."
Yami gave her an exasperated look. "Yeah, but now that Seto's here, I don't have to."
Tea opened her mouth to argue but instead shook her head silently. "Come on then, Before the other guests start to get bored." She walked besides Yami.
*****************************************************************
Seto and Mokuba ran together to the doorway. Mokuba handed him his sandals and watched as Seto jumped to get them on his feet. He quickly stood straight up and smooth out any wrinkles on his robes. "How do I look?" he said turning to Mokuba.
Mokuba walked around him. "Good. Just put your head dress on the right way." Seto flattend his hair and turned his head dress around. With a nod to his brother, Seto went into the room.
Everyone turned when he entered. Seto could feel observant eyes glaring at him. He hated these parties and get-togethers. Everyone slowly lost interest and turned back to their conversations. He sneaked away to searched for Yami. Probably panicing without him no doubt. He tapped on the shoulders of a group of ladies and asked politely where Yami was. The girls looked at him with interest and answered no, supressing giggles. Seto was reminded of why he didn't want to get married. He turned away and preceded with the task of searching for Yami. He saw the back of another girl but this time, she was alone. He moved quickly through the crowd and reached her.
"Excuse me, do you know where King Yami is?"
The girl turned around. He felt his heart leap when he saw a pair of rich green eyes staring back at him. It was the girl from the afternoon. What was she doing here?
He saw the girl's jaw dropped slightly. "Seto? Is that you?" she said softly. "What are you doing here?" She smirked slyly when she saw the head dress. "You're a High Priest aren't you? I knew I've heard your name before." With her eyes tinkling, she smiled.
"Yeah, I'm the High Priest of Remeses," recovering from the shock. He felt himself blushing. "Sorry for lying to you, but I thought you would be too scared to talk to me. How's the knee?"
She lifted up her dress to reveal the same bandage he had patched her up with. "Its fine. I don't even notice it anymore."
Seto stared at her. He couldn't beleive that she was here....wtih him. Wait a minute. "How do you get in here?"
For the first time, she avoided his eyes. "Well.....I'm one of the guests here."
"But that means you have to be in a high class. Are you a daughter of a general or another king?"
"Well...kind of. I'm the daughter of the....of the Pharoah. My name is Celeste." She looked up at him. Seto couldn't beleive it. He had been swimming with the Pharoah's daughter and now...talking to her? Only people with very high standards are even allowed to SEE her.
"You can't be."
"Why not?"
"Becaues the Pharoah's daughter isn't allowed to go beyond the palace grounds and you were swimming in town with me."
"You're not the only one who knows how to sneak out, Okay?" she grinned mischeviously.
"But...how do I know you're not lying?"
"Why would I lie?"
"Do you know why you're here then?"
She pondered the question. "No. not really. This is one of the first time I'm out of the palace with my father's knowing. It must be really important though."
"Important....as in marridge important?"
"Where do you get that idea? My father would never bethroved me without my knowledge. I know he can be strict and severe sometimes...but he isn't heartless." She looked at him sincerely."That was why I told you I wasn't sure if we'll see each other again, I didn't know if my father would send me away or not."
Seto stared at the smiling features of the girl. She was so beautiful, especially when the moon hit her face like that. He felt his heart ache when he suddenly remembered her role in Egypt. The Pharoah was going to marry her off sooner or later. Seto couldn't offer anything more than friendship. He forced himself to look away. He didn't want to face the truth: He had fallen in love with a person he couldn't get.
"Seto! Finally I've found you."
Seto and Celeste turned around to face the approaching Yami with Queen Tea right behind him. Yami hadn't seem to notice Celeste.
"Seto! Where were you?" Yami asked him.
"Doesn't matter. We have to start the banquet or the Pharoah wouldn't be too happy."Seto said quickly, not wanting Celeste to hear him being bossed around by Yami.
Yami thought it over. "Fine." He angrily turned away and walked to the to the front of the room. "Nice to meet you," Tea said to Celeste before turning away and following Yami.
Seto turned to Celeste."Who was that?" she seemed to asked him.
"That was King Yami. He's my boss basically.And the girl with him is Queen Tea, the future ruler of Aeaos."
From the front, King Yami could be heard annoucing the beginning of the banquet.
Seto hesitated before saying goodbye. Before he walked three steps, she took hold of his hand. "Could you sit by me at the table. I don't really know anybody eles here and I want to talk to you more." Her pleading eyes were more than he could take. "Fine."
**********************************************************************
Everybody seated themselves on the table. The Pharoah in the front was clearly enjoying himself with his daughter to the left of him and Seto beside her. Behind Seto was Malik, Isis, and Shandi. King Yami was sitting to the right with Tea, Joey with Mai, Tristan with Serenity, and Bakura.
Seto was enjoying himself. He felt like Celeste was a long lost friend. Soon, he was admiring everything about her: Her hair, the way she ate,how she picked up her fork, and how she moved one of her delicate fingers to put a strand of hair behind her ear.
Then the Phoaroah suddenly stood up. Everybody quieted, their eyes fixed on their ruler. "As you may know," he began, his voice booming through the room," I am nearng the end of my 35-year reign and yet I've only been able to produce only one heir. Her name is Celeste. I doubt even the gods can resist her charm". He waved his arm to the direction of his daughter. Seto noticed that Celeste suddenly began to bend slightly down into her chair. "She is very dear to me and being the protective father I am, I'm sure many of you have never even met her before. Enough of this nonsense. I'm sure you're wondering why I've gathered you here in Remeses. It is simple. I've decided to give the future of this land and my daughter's hand to my best man, King Yami."
The room was silent for a few seconds. Then a burst of applause was heard as the Pharoah made Yami and Celeste stand up. Holding each of their hands in one of his, he placed his daughter's hand into Yami's. They both looked at each other's bright red face and quickly let go.
Seto couldn't help but push a lump back down his throat. He had met the only girl he ever loved, and lost her on the same day.
"Seto? Are you all right?"
Seto placed a fake smile on his face." Yeah. Yami is really lucky....having a girl like you."
Celeste smiled but her eyes didn't. She looked back down on her plate quietly. Throughout the rest of the feast, Seto was quiet and seemed to force himself to eat.
When she was leaving, Yami said goodnight to her and kissed her cheek. She had to get used to it now. Seto stood beside him. She looked at Seto. Without warning, hugged him tightly. Seto closed his eyes but the hug was short-lived.
"What was that about?" Yami had asked him when the guests were gone.
"It was nothing." replied Seto. He headed for his bed chambers unable to stand the sight of Yami. When he got into his room. He repeated his answer in his mind:' It was nothing'. He angrily threw a pillow to the wall. "Nothing?" he thought," was the ugliest word that ever existed."
He thought of Yami. "Its all your fault. Yami, you took her away from me." He knew it didn't make sense, but he didn't care as his anger rose. " You're going to pay for that, Yami." he secrectly vowed.

Me: I'm sooo happy with this chapter..^_^ it took me awhile to update but it was worth it...at least I think.....
Seto:O_O Did you HAVE to write all of that? I thought you said Yami going to be in this!
Me: Yes. He did see......(points at the places)
Seto: But that's not much!
Me: You better be happy with it though or i'll remove the part about you and Yami going to the shodow realm.
Seto and Yami: What? You have a scene with a duel in it?
Me: Be good actors and maybe...i'll put in some fight scenes. Interested?
