Yes, I decided to make another story. It's just something to do, I don't
know if I'll finish it. I guess it just all depends how many people
actually read it and like it. It has no relation to 'Pharaoh' and is not
based on the show or comics. I think it's slightly better written than
Pharaoh but what do I know? Well here it goes, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh but I
do own the characters not in the anime or manga.

Yami sat on the edge of his bed, looking out at the star covered sky, as a single tear slid down his cheek. "Why?" he whispered to himself and then shouted, "Why? Why does it have to be this way?" He got up off his bed and ran out of the palace. Neferet, the one Yami had loved for so long, stood in front of him. He wiped his eyes; she couldn't see him like this.
"By the look in your eyes, I can see you bring me bad news." She said. "Tell me, Yami, what is bothering you?"
Yami didn't want to answer. He didn't want to believe what his parents had told. He swallowed hard and began to tell her. "The Pharaoh and Queen," he paused to hold back his tears. "They have arranged a marriage for me."
Neferet gasped. "This can't be true!" she said sadly as she touched his tanned face. "This can't happen to us."
Yami embraced her for what he thought would be the last time. " My mother and father do not like the idea of me seeing you all the time. It's why they're making me do this, to forget you." He let go of her. "If we're caught together, you'll be out to death."
"I don't care what they do to me!" she pulled him closer. "I only want to live my life with you!"
"I wish that also, Neferet. But no matter what I do, I can't be with you." he stopped talking to look at her. Her eyes were glossy as she was about to cry. "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Yami looked up at the sky. "It's long after midnight. Meet me by the river tomorrow at dawn and I will tell you of my plan." He kissed her goodnight and returned to his palace, feeling somewhat better than he did earlier in the day.
"Finally decide to come back, Yami?" Malik, one of his servants said. "Have a nice unification with Neferet?"
Yami only smiled. He didn't have to worry about Malik telling his parents. Even though Malik was his servant, he was still Yami's best friend. "Yeah." Yami said and decided to tell Malik his plan.
After he was finished, Malik said, "Wow, you must really love her if you're going to go through with it. I don't know what I'm going to tell your parents when they ask what happened."
"Tell them anything but the truth." Yami said. "I don't care what you tell them, just not where I am."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Yami was awoke by Malik. "If you're going to leave, I suggest you go now." He said. "Ra has not yet risen with the sun and you parents are already awake!"
Yami got up and quickly got dressed. Then using Malik as a distraction, hurried out of the palace, so he could meet Neferet at the river. She was already there when he arrived.
"I thought you would never come." She told him.
"We really weren't supposed to meet until almost an hour from now. Why have you come so early?"
"I spent the night here, waiting for you." She said. "I wanted to make sure I met you here. Now what is the plan?"
Yami sat down beside her. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to go through with it."
"I do want to go though with it, Yami. I would go to great extents to be with you."
"The only way we can be together is if we run away together." He suggested. "I can't think of any other way."
"That sounds fine to me." She said. " But that means you are giving up your title as future Pharaoh. You don't have to make that big of a sacrifice just for me."
"I am already aware of the consequences and am willing to give up the power of the Pharaoh for you. We should be getting on with this before my parents notice I'm gone."
What they didn't know was, in the shadows, a man had witnessed everything that had happened, and he intended to use his knowledge wisely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Pharaoh and Queen didn't notice their son had been missing until early afternoon. When they did find him missing, both of them were furious. And when they heard the news that Neferet was also gone, it only made things worse. "When we find that ungrateful son of ours, he'll wish that he just would have married the woman we chose for him!" the Pharaoh told his wife.
"Since that servant is always around him, maybe he knows something." They found Malik and talked to him but would not reveal anything. "For the last time, where is our son?"
"I told you before and I'll tell you again, I know nothing of the Prince's whereabouts." Malik repeated.
"Fine. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then we will use you as a leader of one of the search parties." She said and left with the Pharaoh.
Malik sat down and put his hand on his head. " I'm sorry for anything they make me do, Yami." He said quietly to himself.

That's the first chapter. Neferet is my character so you can't use her unless you ask. If I get a few reviews, I'll continue. If not, then I won't. Tell me what you think. -Yami
P.S. Megan, if you are you reading this, yes, this is the piece of paper you've been annoying me about every day at school. ^^
