The Market Place
Seiya ~ *hog tied, and laying on the floor* What...What'd I do?
STS ~ You couldn't control yourself in the last chapter....So I decided to keep you immobile until at least the end of this chapter. You die soon enough anyway. *holding duct-tape in her hand*
Yami ~ STS, *sweat drop* dont you think we should start the story?
STS ~ *glares at Yami* If you and Yugi do the Disclaimers.
Yugi/Yami ~ *Stereo* STS Doesn't own YGO or Sailor Moon
STS ~ *as she puts tape over Seiya's mouth* There ..Now on with the Chapter....*bows as the curtain falls*
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Its been 2 weeks since the celebrations ended, the Atlantian Rulers have left for their home. But, their daughters, stayed in Egypt for learning of how to rule as true and just rulers. They were asked if they would like to stay by the High Priest and Pharaoh personally.
***Flash Back***
The Throne room, Yami pacing back and forth. Nervous, nah, just thinking way to hard for a young mind. *Knock at the door* "Enter." One of the Guards enter followed by his 'NEW' advisors, and the Atlantians. Yu-Go "Pharaoh, the visiting Royals will be leaving in the morning." One of Yami's eyebrows arch, as does Yugi's. Queen Usagi "Yes, we have left our own advisors in charge, we believe we should leave to see if there is any word on Prince Mamoru." A sad look crosses her face. Seiya, "Its ok, Odango, he is probably home and waiting for us." Smiles softly. "Before you leave, to ah.. pack. We, ah my brother and I, would like to ask if your Daughters would like to stay and learn how we rule here? To see the sights, and to visit?" Asked Yami.
Yu-Go, coughs to cover up his snickering, as Rica just smiles secretly. King Seiya looks towards his daughters, "It is their choice. Daughters?" with a questioning look. Silvia looks to Karma, "Well, we have been asked to stay, for awhile? Shall we?" Karma nods slowly, "Why not, I would like to study more of the historic temples, and I know you would like to look at more sights around the Nile." Silvia, grins as she turns to her father and the Pharaoh. "Father, me and Rose would enjoy staying at least for 2 cycles of the Moon. If it is ok with you, and mother." Usagi, smiles as she moves to her husband, "Yes, its ok with me...and I am sure your father wouldn't mind either." As she looks up at him.
****End of Flashback****
Today the princess were introduced to their own private guards and attendants. Yugi, "This Joseph, a good friend and one of my Head guards. Mai is to be your attendant." he says to Karma. "They will take care of you, and answer your questions, if I am not available." Karma, nods as she smiles and shakes the hands of her two new friends. "They have both been my friend for as long as I can remember. I believe their families help found my family's dynasty. So they are more like family then slaves." Mai bows at the waist while Joseph, (ugh) gives a goofy grin, "Hiya,...*uff*" as Mai elbows him. Yugi just grins and laughs. Karma giggles softly, "I see how good friends you are, you are like Rei and Mina who are like sisters to me, but are of a lower class." Both Yugi and Karma laugh as Mai and Joseph start their bickering.
Yugi himself has made his excuses to leave.
Joseph, "Man, I thought Yugi was never gonna leave...So, Mai you want to take Karma here out to see the sights and check out the Market Place?"
Mai, "Joe, where are your manners. *turns to Karma, and bows slightly* I apologize for my companion, we will do as you would like to."
Karma, "It's ok, I would like to see the temples, and also the sights. If you dont mind showing me?"
Mai, smiles, "Sure no problem. It will be our pleasure. If you wish, ma'am..." "Just call me Karma" "...Karma, I will help you choose another outfit, one more appropriate for the Market Place." Karma, nods as Joseph steps out to the hall to block the door.
While this is going on, in another room in the Palace, the almost same seen is happening......
Yami knocks on the wall near Silvia's door. She peaks her head out. "Pharaoh, I was not expecting you today..." but smiles as she says this. Yami, blushes slightly, "Ah yah, just call me Yami, since we are friends?" Silvia nods willingly, as she pushes the beads away to allow him to enter, and notices that he is followed by two others in tow. Silvia "Who are these?" He looks over his shoulder and grins, "The guard is Tristan who will be your personal protector, when I am unavailable. The girl is Tea, she will be your hand-maiden, and friend who will help and answer any question you may have." Silvia nods and smiles warmly, "It is good, that you have thought of my welfare. I assume you have done the same for my Twin?" Yami looks startled, "Ah, I believe, ah...Yugi has taken care of this for me. But since today I have many things to do, I thought I might introduce them myself before I get busy, and forget," he bows and turns to leave, "I will see you at dinner then." As he leaves the room.
Silvia asks "So, Tea, what is it like to live in Egypt? What is the Market Place like? And the shops?" Tristan and Tea look at her slightly stunned, but then just smile, "Its pretty peaceful here, the Market Palace is the center of culture, and the shops always have the best items from all over." Tristan laughs, "You know she should have gotten Mai instead of you Tea, since she knows more of the Culture." Tea give Tristan a glare. "I am sorry, I did not mean to cause a fight." Silvia says. Tea, startled looks at her, "No not a fight, its just that Mai has been asked to serve your sister. Maybe we could see if they are heading to the Market Place and we will join them. Tristan, could you go and ask Joseph what they are planning for today?" Tristan nods and leaves, heading for Karma's rooms. "While we wait for their answer, lets change you into the right clothing for the Market place, if I know Mai, she will have your sister ready to leave by the time Tristan gets there." So as the girls change into appropriate clothing for sightseeing.
***About an Hour later***
The party, of Six, head out towards the Market Place. On the way they stopped at a local temple, one dedicated to Sept, there were two priests there cleaning and setting up for the next ceremony. As the group entered. Tristan and Joey stayed outside, to guard the entrance. Mai and Tea both explained what happened here. "Do you need anything, ladies?" asked a young priest. "No, Mokuba but thank you" answered Tea, "We are showing the area to the guest of Pharaoh." Mokuba, nodded and smiled, "It is good to meet you," as he bows towards the princesses, "If you wish I can introduce you to the High Priests, for they are here today...Visiting from the lower city. (don't ask)" Karma smiles, "Yes priest Mokuba, it would please me to meet them." Mokuba bows, then leaves to another room, then returns followed by two men, about the age of Pharaoh. "Princesses, this is High priest Seth and High priest Ryou." The men nod as their names are mentioned. Karma smiles, "It is a pleasure to meet you. I have heard of this temple, it is said to be one of the first founded by the Yu-Go Family." Seto's eyebrows arch, "Yes, that is true. According to records and legends. It is good to find a woman who knows her history." Silva grins, "Yes, my sister the Scholar." Seto noticing her, bows "I am sorry for not acknowledging you sooner, Princess." Silvia laughs, "Its ok, I am more of culture bug than a history buff." Seto nods. "We, must be going." As the group leaves, they bow to the Deities, then leave. As they travel into the heart of the Market Place, they chit chat like old friends, learning what life is like for the other.
Time passes at the market place, they head for home as the Sun starts its downward path. As they enter the palace, the smell of the food for dinner wraiths in the air. Silvia and Karma head for they apartments to ready for dinner.
