This is chapter 4-duh. I do not own YGO but I do own all the characters not in the anime or manga.

Neferet helped Yami to her house. When they got there, Neferet wiped the blood from Yami's back with a wet cloth. "I'm sorry you had to go through all of that for me."

Yami flinched every time she touched him but let her continue. "It's fine. Don't worry about what I have to do for you. At least we get to be together once a month. Maybe if I am really pleasing to my parents, they'll let me see you twice a month."

"Maybe," she said, putting the cloth down and looked into her lover's eyes. "I see that you are tired. You haven't slept properly in two weeks. Let me show you to your room."

"My room is your room. We may never see each other after this. For all we know, Death my come upon us tomorrow." Yami followed her into her bedroom.

"Will your parents be upset if they find out?" she asked, climbing into bed.

"I don't know or care." He said and joined her. "I would risk it all to be with you."

*Now you guys don't be getting any bad ideas from that. Yami and Neferet are still virgins. All they are doing is sleeping *

It was a while past midday when Neferet woke up. She stared at Yami who was still asleep by her side. Neferet ran her hand down his bare chest and shivered with delight. "Here I am with the prince of Egypt in my house!" she said with every bit of happiness in her heart. "I never want this day to end!" Yami looked up at her with his violet eyes and smiled. He had heard her speaking of him. "Yami!" she said, blushing. "I had no idea that you were awake!"

"Do not feel embarrassment when you speak so highly of me." Yami said, holding her in his arms. "I love you just as much, if not more."

A few minutes later, Neferet's mother, who hadn't any knowledge that the prince was in her house, walked in the door and screamed with surprise. "Prince Yami! Neferet, why did you not notify me that he was here?" she bowed to him. "Please forgive me, my prince. If I would have known you were coming, I would have prepared for your arrival."

"There is no need for you to bow before me. I am an Egyptian, same as you. If anyone should be bowing, it should be me to you and Neferet." He stood up out of bed and did so. " I should be thanking you for letting me stay the night here."

Both of them were speechless. Royalty bowing before a commoner was unheard of. Finally, Neferet spoke up. "Mother, if you would be so kind, could you please leave Yami and I alone?"

"Certainly," she agreed and left.

"So, Yami, what do we have planned for today?" Neferet asked, reaching for his golden belt.

"Definitely nothing in here." He said with a small glare. She took her hand back and looked at the floor with shame. "Maybe we should go outside and do something."

The rest of the day was spent outside of the house. They never wandered beyond to village but instead stayed within viewing distance of the palace. Neither of them were aware that from the balcony of the palace, the Pharaoh and Queen watched their every move. "Look at our son down there with Neferet." The Queen said. "I've never seen him so happy. Maybe we should just call off the marriage and let him be with her."

"No," her husband answered. "Yami and I made a compromise. If Neferet is to live, he will be married."

"But don't you think it's selfish to tear him away from his true love?" she asked.

"It was selfish of him to run away and abandon his future bride. I could have just decided to kill her and then he never would have gotten to see her. I think once a month is plenty of time."

As the Sun set in the west, Yami and Neferet said their good-byes. "I don't want you to leave, Yami." She told him.

"I don't want to either, but if I don't, I'll be forced to torture and kill you." He said.

"I know."

"Well, goodnight, Neferet." He kissed her forehead. "I love you." He turned around and slowly walked home. When he did get back, he was ten minutes after his limit. As he walked in the door, his parents stood in front of him.

"You are late, Yami." The Pharaoh said. "Did you forget your promise to me?"

"No, father! I remember!" he yelled. "Why don't you just kill me so I can leave this miserable life?"

His mother walked up and held him, which completely irritated him because he was no longer a child. "Calm down, Yami. Your father is only trying to make thing better for you."

Yami pushed her. "Get away from me! If I'm depressed every time I leave Neferet, that's not making things better! Just leave me alone!" he ran out of the room and into his own.

"Please, Inerka," the Queen said to her husband. "Let him marry Neferet. He's right. Things are only getting worse."

Pharaoh Inerka sighed. "Shall I tell him tomorrow?"

The Queen smiled. "Yes, that would be fine."
