---------------------
Hello again peoples. ^_^

This is probably to be a mildly short story, I'm thinking
maybe a few chapters that are fairly long after the
prologue. Of course I said practically the same thing
about ItGoaA before it ended up being a prolonged
30. -_-;;

Anywho, the basic plot is obviously that of Yami is
the heir to the throne and Anzu is his half sister
and for him to get the throne he must marry his
sister. To put it simply there not into the whole
brother/sister pairing thing. X_x

So while there brooding, whining, and bitching a group
of bandit's known as the Court of Thieves bring general
chaos to the palace and kidnap Anzu in hopes of ransoming
her.

That's all you need to know for now... ^_~

Well, I COULD tell ya all the pairings but... what
fun is that? The main pairing is Mai/Anzu and
the rest you'll find out as we go along. ^_^

Prologue
---------------------

In the southern most garden of the palace of Pharaoh
Lady Anzu stared up at the clouds blankly. She was
a beauty, a slim figure with crystal blue eyes
and brown hair that fell to mid back. She dressed
simply, as a maiden in a lose fitting gown of
white linen with a gold-ish belt made of multiple
strains and gilded gold sandals.

Sigh she leaned her head back biting her lip.
She'd always known it would come to this, hadn't
she? Yet... it stilled seemed so impossible that
her life would be meant for so little so...

Worthless.

A hand brushed across her bare shoulder and she
started sitting up on the marble bench quickly
only to come face to face with elegant crimson
eyes. Immediately she felt the effect of embarrassment
rush to her face.

"Brother!"

Her brother smiled kindly at her. He although older
though still no taller than herself with exotic
hair of magenta and ebony with great masses of gold
bangs framing a face that could belong to an angel
with the devil's eyes. He dressed in gold silk wrapped
about his waist low on lightly curved hips and knotted
on a belt of blood red cloth. His arms were decorated
with gold armlets and bangles. He had mild concern
written on his noble features.

"You alright?"

Anzu nodded.

"Yeah, I'm ok."

"Your shaking."

She bit her lip staring her closest family in the eye.

"Can you blame me? I mean I guess I knew that this would
happen but... I don't think of you like that. Your my
brother to me, not a husband."

The Prince was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say
to comfort his sister. It was true for him as well, he had
only ever thought of her as a sister and when it had officially
been announced by the Pharaoh that they were betrothed it had
felt like the world around them was falling apart. It was
expected of him, he knew. No common woman nor noble could
replace the fact that the Pharaoh's married back into the
family to preserve there bloodlines born of the Gods. Anzu's
mother had only not been her father sister because of the
loss of his only sister and the prince's mother to death. He
had taken the Greek princess as his bride next and she bore him
Anzu and two younger sons before she could bare no more.

"I know. Your my sister and only that to me."

He gave her hand a quick squeeze and a small smile that
she returned.

"Your highness! My prince!"

Wrinkling his nose in distaste the prince turned to see a servant
before him head bowed slightly. He nodded recondition to Anzu.

"My lord, you are needed audience hall."

Grimacing he turned to his sister silently apologizing for
leaving her alone. Smiling wiry she kissed his cheek.

"It's alright. You have a public waiting to bask in your
glory, Yami."

Smiling again he followed the nervous servant out leaving his
younger sister in the garden.

I know, I know. Very, very short. It's the prologue though,
the chapters will be longer. R&R like a good little minion. ^^
OK?
