trio: *stares at Seto duct-taped to a chair. Yami K is elsewhere.* Okay,
this is a strange chapter, so I'm gonna do the beginning stuff. First, I'd
like to point out that my cat is GRAY. His name is Smokey, a.k.a. Moquem.
Second: this chapter is a flashback on Yami K's part, so it's in her point
of view. Meaning that the story is in Ancient Egypt. Meaning that I'm
just making things up as I go along, seeing as I know almost nothing about
ancient Egypt. Get it? Good. Okay, now for the disclaimer: I don't own Yu-
Gi-Oh. If I did, this would be on TV, not your computer. On with the
story!
More on the subject of the flashback: I'm not saying Yami K in this chapter. Her name in this chapter is Iras.

I looked around. The night was still young, yet all the boats were abandoned for the night. He would be there soon. Exactly who he was I couldn't precisely remember, but it didn't matter. He was someone important. The moon was partially covered by clouds, leaving enough light to see but not be seen, provided I was careful enough. I stood perfectly still, knowing that only he would know where I would be.
I have extremely sharp ears. I could pick up the padding feet of a cat from thirty-five cubits (1) away. Yet I was surprised when someone tapped my shoulder. I tensed as I turned to face the person, only to see...him. The pharaoh. "Your skill has improved," I told him, slightly bowing my head to show respect, though I did not need to.
"Only thanks to my teacher," he responded with his beautiful low voice. I winced. I hated it when he called me his teacher, and he knew it. The sad part is, it was true. I had taught him to be sneaky, sneaky in a way that could get you into any house in Egypt, but not caught.
I had to smile. I had to forgive him, not only because he was Pharaoh, but also because he was my best friend. Ra, we had known each other since we were children, though only because my parents had turned out to be tomb- robbers and were sentenced to death, but that Pharaoh...was kind enough to spare my life, but turned me out into the streets of his city. I often managed to sneak in, though, just to see what was going on, but often held up by this boy. We had as much fun as we could, which didn't turn out to be very much, seeing as he was the son of our Pharaoh, while I was the daughter of tomb robbers, and had turned out as a thief myself. When his father died...I couldn't get in; I would've been caught. But to my surprise, he would come out to see me. That's what started all this.
We walked down one of the dusty roads talking. We were too old for play now, unless...no. I wasn't afraid of being caught myself; that would eventually happen. It was him I worried about. He didn't look much like an Egyptian, his skin was much paler than anyone we had seen, and his hair...it wasn't the usual black or brown, but an unusual yellow. He must have used something to hold it up in the spikes he normally had, and lots of it. But now he had it down, which I find unusual. And I didn't look like an Egyptian either. Oh well...beggars can't be choosers, right?
"How go the games?" I asked.
"I fear they are getting out of hand. There's a certain tomb-robber that seems to be using the monsters to help him get away with his act." His replies, always sincere, sometimes scared me. I don't have the best vocabulary in Egypt, but I usually caught the meaning of what he was saying. Then I got an idea.
"Lets play. Right now," I begged. The pharaoh looked at me like I was crazy.
"Now? Here?" he really thought I was crazy, but I shook my head.
"Not here. In the Shadow Realm." As I said this, our surroundings just kind of dissolved, everything turned gray. "A friendly duel, just as long as you want it to take." He nodded at this, agreeing to play, the stakes being nothing major, nothing at all, in fact. Before the duel began, I said "Wait!" he looked at me strangely, as I suspected he would. "Don't go easy on me just because we're friends. Give me all you got."
Then he leaned over and kissed me. I fell into bliss. It felt so good, so right. He backed away, blushing, and the Duel began.

trio: this is gonna be a real long chapter, so I'm gonna hafta split it into parts. Part B should come out soon!
Seto: *being attacked by Funny Bunny* AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! HELP!!!!!
trio: that duct tape is holding up nicely, doncha think? Are you having fun, you hideous pink rabbit?
Funny Bunny: *jumping on top of Seto (not like that, you sicko!). nods* Heeeeeeeyyyy Kaaaaiiiibaaaa! Heeeeeeeyyyy Kaaaaiiiibaaaa! Heeeeeeeyyyy Kaaaaiiiibaaaa!
trio: o_O oooookaaaayy...maybe if you review, Seto will escape the wrath of the "fun rabbit (2)". *grins evilly* or maybe not. *notices people staring strangely* but it's worth a try, isn't it? *peace/victory sign and wink*
NOTES: 1. In case you care, cubits are a unit of measurement. It's about as long as the distance from your elbow to your fingertips, which is why we don't use cubits today. 2. it's a joke between DianaZei, Arianlyn, and me.
