Disclaimer- I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH! (Or any random harvest moon back to nature)

Lava- Hey, it looks more fun. kinda. I did it in caps so it's different..

Tea- You suck.

Lava- Oh really? *sticks Tea in a sound proof tube thingy*

Tea- *bangs on the sides*

Lava- I'd like to take this chance to say again how sorry I am for not updating, I know I hate it when other people don't update, but I've been ill lately and I had to stay off school. I'm really sorry. Really, really, really...

Yami- I think they get the point.

Lava- Okay. I'd like to take THIS chance to thank all the reviewers for chapter 3.

Yugi- All two of them!

Lava- *coughs* Erm thanks Yugi.

Joey- And one was through e-mail.

Lava- Don't dis e-mail! *sticks Joey in a tube* now I'd like to give them all a random Harvest Moon: Back to Nature character! I'm sorry if you don't know who they are, but I'm obsessed with the game at the moment. If you want to know who they are, you could always just look on the internet!

To Rage- *Gives Elli the hospital girl (Sorry I always call her that because nobody knows who I'm talking about otherwise.)* I'm sure it wasn't THAT evil. I could have made it worse.

To Sia- *Gives the Karen* Like I said before, I myself am nosy. *nods* I hate my computer too because it always goes psycho on me. (Yami- No you always go psycho on it) Shut up Yami. The superhero was real, that is why there is so much evil going on in the world at the moment, because I stole all the heroes and gave em to you! I dunno what grade I'm in coz I'm English, we don't have grades. I have good ideas? Cool. I didn't know that, my sisters always say I have stupid ideas after they stare at me blankly for a few minutes. I like questions; it means I don't have to start writing the story yet! Yay!

Tristan- Can't you start now?

Lava- Hey! How did you get in here? *points to a picture of Tristan with a big cross through it* this is a 'no Tristan zone!' *stuffs him in a tube*

Everyone- Phew!

Lava- As you may have guessed, I'll probably leave out Tristan from my FF because I dislike him. Please review saying whether I should have him in or not or just review anyway! Now onto the story! Oh wait, I need to warn you all that this isn't going to go exactly like it says in the original story, because I need to change it so I can do the story properly.

[ ] = Seto's thoughts

~~Things can change~~ By YamiLava

When Serenity finally woke up, she found she wasn't been hung from a wall, but she was in a warm room lying in a bed. Where am I? Am I dead? She swiftly sat up, maybe rather too quickly as her whole body started throbbing with pain. I thought when you died you were meant to be judged when you died. Would I really still have my wounds if I was dead?

There was movement somewhere to her right. She turned over to face whatever it was.

"I see you're awake." A cold voice said from the place she was looking. Serenity nodded unsure of just what was in front of her. "I suppose I should go tell Yami, I mean the Pharaoh, he wanted to know when you were awake."

"What?" Serenity said. "What happened? Why am I here? Where am I? How long have I been here? Who are you?"

"One question at a time." The man replied.

"Who are you?"

"I am Seto, the Pharaoh's top body guard." Seto replied, staring at her with his icy blue eyes, trying to determine whether Serenity was to be trusted.

"Where am I?" Serenity continued.

"You are in the Pharaoh's living quarters, in his bed to be exact." He raised his eyebrows. Serenity shuffled across the bed, falling over the side onto the hard floor.

"Why am I here?" She winced in pain.

"The Pharaoh brought you here."

"What happened? When I last checked I was being tortured for an accident." She stood up, her legs quivering with the effort of holding her weight. She felt a sudden ripple of rage. Why would the Pharaoh bring her here? He was the one who was responsible for her being tortured in the first place. Suddenly her legs gave way and she fell to the floor again. Seto lifted her up onto the bed, seeing she was in pain.

"The Pharaoh was looking for you. When he asked his guards where you were, they told him that you were in the torture chamber. He rushed down there and saw you unconscious hanging up on the wall. He told me that it was quite difficult dragging you up to here." Serenity didn't understand.

"It doesn't make sense, why did he tell them to torture me in the first place?" She thought out loud.

"The Pharaoh's rules are extreme, even I confess that, but his guards are the ones that really give the Pharaoh a bad name. I've been telling him for quite some time to fire them, but he won't listen to me." Seto paused, staring at Serenity. There's no way that his guards are the ones that do all the cruel things I've heard about.

"You think too highly of the." Serenity said. Seto smiled.

"He must really like you though." Serenity scowled slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Well if he personally rescues you, watches over you for most of the time and the only time he does leave he leaves me, his personal body guard to look after you then asks me to tell him when you've woken up so he can talk to you." Seto paused again. "I don't think he's treating you like a normal slave."

"How long have I been here?"

"You must have been unconscious for about." He walked over to the window. "Two days, maybe slightly more."

"How could I have been here for so long?"

"You did seem like you were in a bad state. I don't know what they did to you in the torture chamber, I don't really know if I want to know."

Suddenly the door opened and Yami walked through it.

"Seto, I told you to fetch me when she woke up." He said sternly.

"Well, yes, Pharaoh, she only just woke up." Seto bowed and left the room. "She's still not healed. And she won't be very happy to see you, she think that the torture was your fault." Seto whispered.

"I don't need you to tell me what to watch out for, I can look after myself."

"I know, but." Yami glared at him and with another bow Seto left. [When'll he realize that he can't keep pushing people away.]

Yami closed the door and turned to look at Serenity. He sat next to her on the bed.

"Well." He said, not knowing what to say.

"Hmm.." She looked down. Why isn't he saying anything? I thought he wanted to talk.

"Erm.well." Just say that you want her to be his personal slave. No that's not enough. say that, that you're sorry.

I can't take it anymore! Say something Serenity! Just don't do anything stupid.

"Why did you do it?" Serenity shouted. Yami looked up at her, outraged. Nobody had ever spoken to him like that.

"Do what?"

"You know perfectly well what you did! You burned my village down. You didn't care that my family was torn apart along with dozen others!" Yami frowned.

"I don't remember doing it? When did it happen?"

"You don't remember? You don't remember the screaming? Oh of course not, you weren't there! You were probably in your palace, having a feast or whatever you people do all day. You may not remember what you did, but I do! I had to stand there helplessly as my house caved in on my mother as she was burnt to death! I still hear her screaming, everyday!" Tears flooded from her eyes, but she still continued. "You may think that you have a sad little life with your parents being dead, but at least you have the luxury of living here and having people to be there for you! You don't have to live your long days being tortured and forced to do things that you could never imagine. You don't have to wake up with everyone around you being a stranger; do you know how lonely that is?" She broke off.

Yami looked down at his feet. Of course I know how lonely it is... you think being a Pharaoh's all about having all that you want?

"Of course you don't! But at least my brother's coming to find me, he'll take me away and everything will be normal again." She trailed off. Now you've done it Serenity. I suppose having your head taken off is better than being a slave.

Serenity waited for Yami to shout at her, to lash out at her, to do anything but she was mistaken. What she had said hadn't angered Yami; it had done much worse than that. If Serenity could see, she would have seen silent tears glistening on Yami's cheeks.

"I'm. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Serenity started. A sob from Yami told her that he wasn't angry. "I." She went round in front of him and pulled him into a hug.

Although Yami's heart had sunk to his stomach, the hug was pulling it back into place and leaving him feel warm inside. Yami's hand wiped away the tears that were left running down his face and straightened up. I've never let anyone seen me cry, not since my mother died. What's this girl done to me?

"No. I'm sorry." He said sniffing. "I did not know what you had been through. I am truly sorry." And he really did sound it. Serenity hadn't heard him use this tone of voice; it was almost as if he could feel her pain.

Serenity sat back on the bed, ashamed that she had spoken out of line and ashamed that she had made the Pharaoh, the most powerful person in Egypt shed tears.

"You wanted to talk to me." She said quietly, still unsure whether she had escaped having her head detached from her body. Yami cleared his throat to stop his voice from quavering.

"Erm, yes. I wanted to know, that if you wanted, you wanted to be my personal slave, I mean servant." Yami smiled. He had said it.

"But why?" Serenity answered. "I upset you enough to make you cry and enough torture me and you want to upgrade me?"

"I didn't ask for you to be tortured!" He shouted. Serenity quivered at the tone of his voice, that was the one he had used before. "I didn't mean for it to happen." He said more calmly. "So do you accept?" Serenity smiled.

"Alright then." At least it's a step up from washing dishes. "Where do I start?" Yami smiled. It was the first proper smile he had had in quite some time. "Firstly, you get cleaned up. You're hurt badly, there's a bath over there." He pointed but then remembered Serenity's 'disability' so he led her over to the room.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

Outside the door, Seto was listening in.

"Just what are you up to Yami?"

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

When Serenity had got herself cleaned up and put on some new clothes (Lava- It went kinda like this;

Yami opened the door a crack and shoved in some clothes. Serenity lifted them up. They were the softest thing she had ever felt.

"Yami, don't you think these are too grand for me?" She murmured as if she thought someone was listening. "Now Serenity, my advisers, they might be less than happy that I have promoted you. They don't like anyone getting too close to me; they don't think its safe.. So I'd like you to be weary of them." He called to her.

"May I ask you, how you know my name?" She said bewildered. Yami blushed, of course she wouldn't remember their few days of playing together, she probably had loads of friends.

"That, I will tell you later, now we must get going to a meeting." Yami led Serenity out of the room and towards the meeting room.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

The meeting started off quite slowly. Serenity stayed quiet throughout most of the discussion. Serenity didn't need to be able to see the advisers to know they weren't good news, the way they muttered between themselves, their suggestions; they weren't to be messed with.

Suddenly Yami stood up and the room went quiet.

"I'd like to introduce, the newest member of my staff. This is Serenity, my new personal slave." Serenity gritted her teeth at the word slave; she hated it, but knew that it was best that she stayed silent.

There were a few extra mumbles and glowers in her direction, but no more than when the meeting started. A tall man with grey hair and pale blue eyes which you could easily mistake for white stood up.

"But my liege, we don't think you need a personal slave when you already have so many close to you already." His voice was smooth but somewhat shaky.

"Now, now Keisotsu, don't get touchy." Seto said appearing behind BlaBla's chair smiling smugly.

"I would not. I just think that.." He frowned dying away.

"Yes? Keisotsu, you were saying." Seto's face got more superiorly.

"Nothing." Keisotsu said, still glaring at Serenity. He sat down.

At the end of the meeting, Yami went off to talk to some of the other advisers leaving Serenity sitting by her self.

"You've got the Pharaoh wrapped around your finger. You must think that you're very smart right? But it won't last." Keisotsu had snuck up on Serenity and was now standing behind her. His voice was calm and quiet and in a split second, he was gone.

Yami finished talking to the adviser and went back to Serenity.

"Come one. We've got to go." His voice, like it had been for the whole of the meeting was stern.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

"I think that went well, did you?" Yami said when they finally reached his room. Serenity nodded doubtfully. "I've got someone to prepare a room next door."

"Oh. Thank you." Yami led Serenity to the door and smiled.

"Don't worry, you're alright now." He whispered kindly.

Serenity slept well that night. It might have been the silk robes she was given or the fluffy bed, but she was sure that it was what Yami had said to her "Don't worry, you're alright now." She'd be okay now; she didn't have to be troubled by anything.

Lava- Ta da!

Yami- Wow, you actually did another chapter. That's scary.. ((O.O))

Lava- Hey! Anyway, please review! Now that it's my Easter holiday I can write more! Yay!

Yugi- Have you got us any Easter presents?

Lava- Maybe. But you're not having them until Easter.

Yugi- Okay. *runs off to look for them*

Lava- +.+ When'll kids learn that Easter's not about chocolate and presents.

Serenity- It's about Jesus.

Lava- No. It's about all the pictures of cute little chicks. They're so cute!

Everyone- O.O

Lava- What?

Seto- Please just type the next chapter already so we can talk about something else, Mokuba goes hyper when we talk about chocolate.

Mokuba- *evil grin* CHOCOLATE!!!
