Isis got up and stared out the window. She watched as shadows walked closer and closer to the palace.

Yugi and Seth had returned from the battle. News had been spread that the pharaoh was injured from the battle. Seth had to carry him home to his beloved wife. Isis felt the pain of hearing those words.

The sound of horses' hooves drew closer. She could see the golden robes that Seth wore. However, his clothes were stained by blood. She saw Yugi, laid on top of the chariot, unconscious. Isis gasped in horror at the condition of the pharaoh. She ran out of her room to meet the two men in her life.

"Yugi!" she yelled. She ran to the side of her husband. The pharaoh lifted his face up to see his beautiful wife standing by him.

"Isis…" he whispered hoarsely. His mouth uttered the words with blood. He smiled at her.

Isis felt horror at herself when she looked at Yugi. She'd betrayed him. His wife, a traitor and back stabber. She had previously decided to tell him the affair between her and Seth. Now, she pressed against it. One bad new was enough for today. He didn't need to hear anymore information from her. She pressed her lips and looked up at Seth. They knew what must be done.

"We made an error in calculation. The enemy was able to use that error and attacked him with one of their duel monster!" Seth filled her in.

Isis and Seth followed behind as the maids and servants brought the pharaoh in. Isis felt sorry for Yugi, being hurt by both of the people that he trusted the most. She suddenly hated herself for being a person that she's now. She hated herself because she couldn't find it in herself to love Yugi. Her heart had always belonged to Seth.

Seth looked at the injured pharaoh as he walked beside Isis. He and Yugi had been best friends. Yet, he also betrayed Yugi. He looked at Isis. Both of them were filled with guilt in their heart.

----------------------------------------------------

Soft, warmed water dripped down her fingers. Isis wetted the cloth and applied onto Yugi's face. Yugi winced at the pain. Isis saw the color coming back to him and knew that he's going to be alright.

"Isis…." Yugi began….

"Hush…" she stopped him, " don't talk right now. You're still weak". She gave him some medicine to take in. She wanted to do everything she could to make up for all the pain that she'd caused him.

"Isis," Yugi ignored her command, "I thought that I would never see you again," he smiled, stroking her hair.

"I told you not to speak now," her face grimed. "You need to rest to recover your energy!"

"Not before I receive a kiss from the queen!" Yugi smiled again.

Feeling guilty, she kissed Yugi slightly on the lips.

--------------------------------

The next day, Seth was to report to Yugi. He walked down the hall and into Yugi's chamber.

"Hello Seth," Yugi got up from his bed. Isis was sitting beside him.

Seth bowed down to Yugi, "Good morning my pharaoh, the great leader of Egypt."

"Please," Yugi laughed, "no formalities. We're best friend."

Seth winced at the words. He hated that word. It reminded him on how bad he was at being a friend. It was much easier if Yugi were to consider him as an enemy. However, he putted up his face and smiled back at the pharaoh.

"So, what news do you have for me so far?" Yugi asked, considering that he hadn't been able to come to the court today to do his routines of ordering and commanding Egypt.

"Well, the enemy from the North are still as strong as ever. They had been able to destroy several strong defense points of our enemy. However, if we attacked them now, we'll be able to push them back," Seth informed.

"Good!" Yugi exclaimed," then I'll be back to lead the army!"

Yugi tried to get up but yelled out in pain as his bone cracked. Isis tried to held him together and forced him onto the bed. Seth noticed the pain of his best friend and spoke up.

"Your highness, I don't think that you should go back to fighting just yet. You should stay here."

"No!" Yugi protested, " I want to be with my men. I don't want to stay here and enjoy myself while my people are out there in the harsh desert fighting those bastards."

"No!" Isis yelled, her eyes filled with tears," I won't allow you to go into battle like this! You are in no condition to battle!"

The room went silence after Isis spoke.

"You should listen to the queen. She has almost lost you once. You don't want her to lose you again," Seth said quietly. He saw Isis's worried face and knew now to back down from the affair. The queen belong with the pharaoh, not some priest who think that he could do better. It was a match made in heaven, and no matter what he do, he couldn't change it. They were made for each other, not him.

Yugi looked at the two people around him, " Are you two conspiring against me?" he joked.

However, Yugi didn't knew how those words affected them. Isis was in a panic. Had Yugi found out the affair before she even had a chance to tell him? What would happen to them now? Will Yugi kill them?

"No…No…" Isis answered, her face showed hints of fear.

Yugi looked at his wife, wondering on why she was so scare.

"Why were you so scare?" Yugi laughed," I was just kidding!"

Yugi continued to laugh, not noticing how relieved the lovers were when they hear those words. After a while, Yugi stopped laughing. He glanced at his wife and priest and spoke.

"Alright, I'll stay here. Seth, you'll be the one in charge the kingdom and my army from now on. However, you must promise me that you'll be all right. I don't want to lose my best friend you hear?" Yugi ordered Seth.

"I promised," Seth replied quietly. Forcing a smile on his face, feeling lonely and lost, he gently closed the door and left.

Isis watched as Seth left. Her heart shattered at the thought of him leaving her again. Yugi almost died from the first battle, she couldn't bare it if the one she loved die on the second one. She could almost see him fading into darkness and never return again.
