Not many people reviewed last chapter -_-. Was it not good or something? Oh
well if not enough people review, I might not continue... I do not own YGO
but I do own all the characters not in the anime or manga.

Two nights later, they arrived back at the palace. The only reason they got there so quickly was because the man with the double scar summoned a monster with the ring around his neck for them to ride on the back of for quick access through the desert.
Yami and Neferet were placed in a room where their arms were untied as the Pharaoh and Queen received the news. "Neferet, I never wanted it to turn out this way." Yami told her. "If only we would have made it to the next city, we might not be here now. I'm so sorry to drag you into this."
"I do not blame you, Yami." She said softly. "I know you meant well for the both of us." She couldn't stand it any longer. If this was going to be her final moment with her true love, then she was going to make him remember her for the rest of his life. Neferet grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her. "I love you, Yami!" she pushed her lips to his and kissed him.
It lasted only a few seconds because the Pharaoh struck down Yami with a leather whip. "I never thought you would stoop as low as to love a commoner." Yami stood up but said nothing. "It won't matter. Tomorrow morning, she will depart from this world and be guided by Anubis through her afterlife to the great Osiris."
Yami finally spoke up. "Please, father, I beg of you, do not let any harm come to my Neferet. I love her with every ounce of my heart and soul!" Neferet placed her arm on his shoulder but quickly withdrew it after being hit with the whip. "Father! I asked you not to hurt her!"
The Pharaoh stopped to think. "Fine, I will promise never to hurt Neferet again, but only if you agree to several of my wishes. First, you will receive twenty-five lashes from my whip as Neferet watches." Yami was surprised his father had suggested such a thing. He had too often seen young men die from nearly twenty. "Second, you will marry the woman I have chosen for you. And third, you my never talk to Neferet except for the last day of each month. If you do, she shall be severely tortured and killed by your own hands. Now, do you still wish to save her?"
Yami looked at Neferet for a long time. "I will do all of what you say and more, just to keep her safe."
"Well, it seems you have lucked out, my son. Tomorrow is the thirtieth of Het Heret (September 17th on our calendar). You may see Neferet from the time Ra rises to the time He sets. Enough of this, take your shirt off so we can get on with it."
Yami obeyed the Pharaoh and got down on his hands and knees. "You may begin anytime." With that said, Neferet watched and felt Yami's pain as the Pharaoh stuck him with all his strength fifteen times. His body was shaking but he did not shed a single tear. "Why did you stop, father? Just punish me and get it over with!" the Pharaoh continued but stopped again at twenty.
"I cannot bear to go on." The Pharaoh said. "You do not deserve any more pain." Yami lifted his head up. "Go, my son, spend the remainder of the night with your Neferet, but you must return before the Sun sets tomorrow."
"Thank you, father." Yami said with tears forming in his eyes. "Thank you."
