Authoress' Note: I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again to Starheart. You know why.
P. Seto paced back and forth across the fine sand lining the banks of the Nile River. He glanced back and forth from the white-haired young man sitting on the large rock staring into the waters of the Nile to the empty pathway leading from the palace to the river. He glanced back at the other man and gave him a Look of confusion, wondering why he took suck interest at the water. This man was High Priest Bakura, another close friend, advisor, and high priest of Prince Yugioh. He was the Royal Court Physician because he had the power to heal anyone or anything and he also was the fortune teller of the palace because he foresaw many things that were to happen to the empire which, due to him and his talent, were prevented from happening.
High Priest Bakura looked up and saw the stare that P. Seto was giving him and abandoned his gaze at the water. He started to walk towards him, green cape trailing slowly behind him, making a smooth sound across the sand. Bakura then faced Seto and snapped his fingers. P. Seto jumped.
"Huh?!"
"What on earth is your problem today, my dear High Priest P. Seto? You seem very troubled and it scares me so…" Bakura stated.
"Well, if you must know, I was thinking about Yami and the responsibilities Pharaoh Seht is to leave him if he dies. I mean, come on! The prince is only seventeen! How can we expect him to run all of Egypt?" P. Seto asked.
"Well, I don't know, but his mother will still be around….anyway, he's got you and me and all his friends and High Priests and advisors to talk to…" Bakura said absentmindedly, playing with a strand of his white hair that had gotten out of place under the headpiece he was wearing.
"But he doesn't listen to us! You know that! High Priest Bakura, are you listening to me??!!" P. Seto yelled, but no answer came. Instead………
"SHHHHH!!! Be quiet! I hear something!" Bakura said. Seto then became quiet, and the two men listened to music and a song being sung.
"Who do you think that could be?" Seto asked.
"No idea…maybe Yugioh knows…." Bakura whispered.
"Yugioh knows what?" The prince's voice echoed as the high priests turned around to see Yugioh standing there with a stern look on his face.
"Your Majesty….." the two said, falling to their knees and bowing to him.
"Get up; you are pardoned for whatever you think you did and thank you for respect. So, what is that voice I hear?" he asked, listening carefully.
"I don't know, but it's coming from the other side of the river. Let's go check it out!" P. Seto persuaded.
The three looked at each other and nodded. They then crossed the water and onto the other side of the Nile, wanting to find out what that music was and who were making it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two teenage girls were behind all the music and singing. One played a flute, the other sang. They were just finishing a piece that they had written together.
"Leah, are you sure that this is a good idea?" the girl whispered, putting down her flute.
"I'm sure. My brother would have wanted me to practice and that's what I'm going to do." Leah said. She was tall and beautiful and she had blonde hair and deep violet eyes that could attract any man she came across.
"Well, I hope you're right. I won't be surprised if Prince Yugioh comes and finds us." the other girl said.
Leah stopped in her practicing and gasped. "Prince Yugioh? Anzu, but why would he come here?"
"Well, of course, he is the prince of Egypt and has the power to go anywhere he pleases. You know that." Anzu said sternly.
Leah sighed. "Oh, what a wonderful thing it would be, to see the prince. He is so handsome. I saw him yesterday, riding through the desert and going pass the Nile. He was with Pharaoh Seht and Queen Nefertiti and a high priest with a long purple cape and a high headpiece. The prince was riding on one of the royal camels. I also heard he is a brave, carefree, and kind-hearted person. But despite that, he fell off his camel." she said while Anzu laughed. She rested her head on her hand. "But still…..I thought he only remained in the palace."
"Well, ladies, you thought wrong. Yugioh may be a prince, but he still is a free person." The two girls whipped around to find Yugioh himself and two other men with him. Yugioh flipped his blue cape behind him and said to Leah, "So? You think I'm handsome, yes?"
Leah and Anzu curtsied in front of the Prince. "My lord, I am sorry. I didn't mean to speak so ill of you, sire." Leah said.
"Rise now, my dear. You were just speaking the truth, because I indeed fall off the camel today." Yugioh said. P. Seto, Bakura, and Anzu laughed. "Silence!" he commanded, and everything went silent. Yugioh walked over to Leah and took her hand, helping her up. "What is your name?"
"It is Leah, sire." she said, bowing to him again. "This is my friend Anzu." she added, gesturing to the other girl. Anzu, too, bowed to Yugioh.
"Ah, I see. Leah and Anzu. What pretty names. Would you and Anzu would like to come back with me to the palace. I'd be honored if you sing for me and my family and staff." Yugioh said, once again helping Leah up and P. Seto helping Anzu up.
"Oh, what an honor it is, my prince…" Leah said as they all started to walk towards the palace.
"Yes, it is…oh, and please just call me Yugioh or, if you prefer, Yami." he said, winking at her as she blushed. 'She's really cute….I wonder if Father and Mother will let me marry her….' he thought. 'I wonder….'
"Are you single?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Well….you seem so gifted with your voice and beauty that….that….I thought you would be honored to be my girlfriend, even though it is so sudden…." Yugioh said.
"No, its okay if it is so sudden, but yes, I am honored to be your girlfriend." she said with a smile. At the moment, she forgot all she was but only focused on the prince. She also forgot the law about royals marrying other royals, but then again, Queen Nefertiti II, Yugioh's mother, was a commoner before she became a queen. So after Nefertiti that incident before with the Prince Seht, when Seht became pharaoh, he changed the laws and let all his officials and his newborn son, who of course was back then the younger Prince Yugioh, wed whoever they wanted - commoner or royal alike. Yugioh grasped her hand and kissed it. 'Jackpot!' he thought.
P. Seto was doing the same thing. "So, your name is Anzu, right?"
She nodded. "Yes. But my family either calls me Anzu or Teana. Depends."
"Oh, okay. I'm High Priest P. Seto, but you can just call me P. Seto or Seto, whichever you're comfortable with." In reply to that, she nodded back.
'She's really cute….' he thought. In a second, P. Seto just blurted out, "Are you single?" as he blushed.
Anzu giggled and replied, "No. You're not so bad yourself. How about you?"
"No people after me. I'm free. Be my girlfriend? You are just talented, gifted, smart, and beautiful."
"Sure. My pleasure." Anzu responded as she and Seto embraced while they were walking. Bakura sighed with happiness as he walked along with them. He rolled his eyes, but he had no jealousy or interest in women. 'My wife died while she was giving birth to my son, and she was the only woman I loved. I do not ever want to love again unless I was to bring her back from the dead. But then again, I still have a five month old son to raise.' he thought as they continued to proceed to the palace.
