*********************************************************************
Celeste POV:
I can't believe what my father had just done. To bethroved me to a complete stranger? How could he? I didn't even know his name until tonight. When we had gotten home, my father beckoned me to his throne room. He knew I was upset.
"Father, how could you?" I yelled after he had secured the doors for privatcy.
Father just had a tired look on his face and sat down on his chair. He looked at me with tired eyes. I've rarely ever seen him look so tired. Of course he was old, but he didn't really want to show it. I would've felt sorry for him if it wasn't for the situation.
I decided to quiet my voice. " Father? You promised me that I could chose my own husband. Whatever drove you to engaged me to King Yami?" I was near tears. I bended down on my knees and laid my hands on his lap. "Father? Why won't you explain yourself?"
"My dear daughter," he started," I'm growing very old. I couldn't wait any longer for our promise to be fufilled. Don't worry, I've been keeping a close eye on Yami, and he seems like a very nice husband." he sighed," please do this for me Celeste, as my one death wish."
I suddenly felt a stinge of guilt. He never used his age as an excuse before. The last sentece really surprised me too.
"But father,"I pleaded,"You were the one who locked those horrid monsters in the stone tablets 30 years ago. Surely, you can wait a couple more years for me to chose my own husband."
My father looked at me." You're so stubborn Celeste. Did you know you got that from me? You look just like your mother too." He suddenly turned away and sighed. "I'm afraid even the greatest of magic cannot stop time,Celeste. I'm fading away, fast. I want to see you get married before I die."
Celeste looked at her father and couldn't deny his age. "Father.... I'll marry him." I mumured quietly and walked slowly to my chambers.
When I got back into my room, the first thing I did was lay on my bed and thought about what I had just agreed to. I thought about my brief encounter with Yami before I knew he was my future husband. It was with Seto. I blushed when my thoughts suddenly turned to him.
I closed my eyes and felt his arms around me that afternoon. The feeling was wonderful. Like I was meant to be there. His eyes were such a rich dark blue. His laughter was so amazing to my ears. When he does laugh, it was rich and contained all happiness he had inside.
Holding up my robes, I examined the patch. He had done it so precise and with great care. He had been so gentle. I wonder if he even saw me blushed when he bandaged me. This afternoon was the best I've had ever. I didn't bother me that he had a great build either.
I couldn't deny it. I had been in love with him ever since I first saw him in the water.
Why didn't I tell father then? I've much rather be with Seto than Yami. A small voice answered my question. My father had specifically arranged this marridge for me. He had said so himself he had been watching Yami for a long time. If he'd been watching Yami, he must have thought of Seto too. Father had always looked to closely at details. He probably saw too much mistakes in Seto and instead picked Yami.
I couldn't possibly see any mistakes in Seto myself, though.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Yami wasn't so bad. He was pretty cute and he seemed very polite. I pondered over this, confused if I could possibly learn to love that man. My mind wandered away, searching for the answers. My heart already knew the answer though: no.
*******************************************************************
Yami's POV
Gods! This is a terrible predicament. I just met her tonight. How could I love her? I barely remember her name. I think it was Selena, Cynthia, .....Celeste? Yeah, that was it, Celeste.
Though I must admit, she is quite pretty. I just wish her soul isn't the opposite of her beauty. What am I talking about? She seems nice. I should probably ask Seto. He seems to know her better. I had to stop myself from running out the door.
I can't ask him. It's the middle of the night and I'll look stupid bursting through the doors for advice on personal matters. Instead, I was determined to work this through...myself. I did nothing but pace around my chambers for an hour. Gods! Tea was right, I am getting too dependent on Seto.
Tea. I've knew her for the past 15 years. I laughed when I remembered her tough morals and strict manners. Even before she was 3, my behavior was always criticized compared to hers. I even have a crush on her. It was just a silly kid's game back then though. I remembered a whole week visit where I was blushing so much that her mother was worried I had a sunburn.
For the past few years, my feelings had developed for her. To the point where I cared for her very deeply. She wasn't gorgeous, but her soft features always seemed to capture my attention.
I'd much rather marry her than someone I didn't know. Its too late now. He is engaged to the Pharoah's daughter. If he didn't accept the proposal, the pharoah would certainly take it the wrong way. I breathed the cold night air deeply. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe I could learn to forget about Tea and love Celeste instead.
As if......
*********************************************************************
NORMAL POV
Seto was already up and waiting when he saw Yami walked into the dining hall.
"Good morning, King Yami." Seto said coldly.
"Oh...Good morning Seto." not noticing the ice of the words. " Why are you up so early?"
"We're expecting Celeste to come to the palace. She has to live with you for at least a month so you'll get acquainted."
"Celeste? Oh....."Yami's face fell." My bethroved." Yami felt uncomfortable talking about the engagement. Seto saw this and smirked.
The rest of breakfast was uneventful. Seto hardly concentrating on his food and Yami worried of Celeste's arrival.
A guard came in the room and annouced Celeste's arrival.
"Call forth some servants to carry the luggage." Yami ordered and the guard disappeared. Yami stood up slowly and went out the door with Seto close behind him.
******************************************************************** Celeste's POV
Me and Father was quiet throughout the travel to Yami's palace. I was overcome with grief and excitement. Excitement from seeing and livng with Seto. But grief from knowing that it was for a diffrent purpose. I wanted to tell my father about Seto but was too afraid of how he would react.
***********************************************************************
Yami's POV
I can't bear this anymore. I've been spending half the night worrying about this. Now Seto had to tell me about this month thing. Gods! I'm only 20 years old.
I wish Tea was here..........
***********************************************************************
Seto's POV
Celeste could still be with me. All I have to do is make Yami look like a total loser and the Pharoah would find him an unsuitable husband. He chuckled as he remembered how Mokuba had reacted when Seto had told him that morning
=======flashback=======
"Big Brother?" said Mokuba," Is there something wrong with you?"
Seto hesistated in answering. "Mokuba? Can you keep a secrect?"
Mokuba sensed the secretcy in his voice and eagerly nodded. "Is it about a girl?"
Seto looked at Mokuba. "How did you know?"
Mokuba grinned and fought the urge to scream out 'Seto has a girlfriend. Seto has a girlfriend.' Instead, he said simply," Its pretty obvious Seto. You're not the only one who inherited something from father."
"You can read minds?"
"No, I just kinda have blurry pictures of them. The details aren't clear but I see the presence of something. Especially, when there is alot of emotions invovled."
"Then you know about Celeste and Yami?"
Mokuba looked towards the ground. "Yeah" he whispered.
"Do you know about my plan of attack?"
Mokuba nodded his head. "First, I was confused but I put it all together. Are you really going to do it Seto? Will Celeste be my new sister? She's really nice. I can tell from your thoughts of her."
Seto looked at Mokuba's hopeful face. "Yeah, kiddo. I'm going to try."
=======end=flashback=======================================
Seto smirked when he saw Yami nervoulsy standing in front of him.
"Don't worry, Yami," he thought," You won't marry."
*************************************************************** NORMAL POV
The ride ended soon. Celeste knew her first step on the ground would change everything. Her father stood beside her and their servants behind them, loaded with luggage.
It was silent as she stood face to face with Yami. Her future husband. The Pharoah was the first to speak. His booming voice breaking through the silence. "My new son, I hope you'll be treating my daughter well?"
"I hope to your Majesty,"Yami replied curtly.
Celeste used this time to look at the man behind Yami. It was Seto. Her mouth curved into the faintest of all smiles when she saw him.
Seto couldn't take it anymore. "Pharoah, I request to speak."
The pharoah and Yami looked at him with amusement. "You may," siad the pharoah.
"I would like a competition between me and Yami for Celeste's hand in marridge."
Yami eyes almost popped out of his sockets. "What?!?!"
Seto camly repeated."I want to marry Celeste your Highness. Please allow a competition between Yami and myself to see who is most worthy."
Seto took a quick glance at Celeste. She was smiling. Seto coldn't believe it. Does she love me too?
He turned his head back at the pharoah. The pharoah almost refused but stopped himself when he thought more about the offer. Maybe Seto was better suited as a hunsband then he thought. He turned to Celeste."I will only agree to the cmpetition if you accept the challenge too, my daughter."
Celeste looked at Yami and Seto. It only took a few moments to reply Yes. *********************************************************************
Seto's POV
I couldn't beleive it when Celeste agreed to the competition. I thought she would refuse to be treated as a trophy. It was the only flaw in my plan when I thought it over last night. Mokuba would be pleased about this. ****************************************************************** Yami's POV
What is Seto doing! Gods! Was Seto thinking about doing this when we were at breakfast? Wait.....if I lose, I don't have to marry Celeste...I could marry Tea. Thank you Seto! You solved all of my problems.
Wait. What would the Pharoah think of me if I lose. He had the reputation of being over observant.He would know I was aiming to lose. I might lose my place as King becaues he would think I have unsuitable qualities. I have to do the competition to the best of my abilities then. I just hope its some kind of intellectual competition. Those I can never win against Seto no matter how hard I try.
**********************************************************************
Celeste's POV
There might still be a chance. I could still be with Seto. Seto, I'm behind you. Please win. I don't think I can stand another event like this.
****************************************************************** Normal POV
"Seto, since you were the one who suggested the competition. Why don't you pick?" said the pharoah.
"Your highness, it would be more suitable if you chose."
The pharoah was hoping for that answer."I chose the game of duel monsters. In the shadow realm."
============NOT THE END===================================
********************************************************************** ANSWERS TO THE STORIES LITTLE MYSTERIES:
1)if you haven't notice, I am not that good at grammer and spelling, for example, I thought you're was spelled you'er.(don't ask why...alot of sugar in the head)
2) I have only seen one episode of yu-gi-oh with isis in it..so I don't know what she is like. I just put her in the story becaues she has a millenium item...it'll be important later on.
3)I do ALOT of research in my stories. I try to make it fit into the plot. HINT HINT- this means I have to try to make it end a little more complex plot than on the t.v. this means I have to make Yami pharoah, Seto power hungry, and unfortunatly, character deathsExpect the ratings to go up.
4) THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! I LUV GETTING THEM SOOO MUCH! and for anybody that doesn't..........=P
5) This story has another value....One of the only reasons I wrote this story is becaues I had an idea about a story and I had to write this story so it'll make sense.
6) in case you haven't notice, yugi isn't in this one. this is mostly about the all of the holders of the millenium items and the spirits in them. So the characters are mostly about the yamies(yami's ?yamis'?) and the reincarnates of the other characters.
7)One of the reasons Pharoah didn't chose Seto as a possible husband is Seto's attitude of marridge mentioned in the 1st chappy. Remember, the Pharoah is very picky about details.
Yugi:Pov's? That means you have to look inside our heads!
Seto:She can do it? No! She wouldn't dare do it!
Me:Yes I could, should, and would do it so enjoy the chappy everybody.
P.S. this chapter is mostly just junk and experimentations to understand the actions in the characters in other chappys.
