Here goes chapter 18. It used to be one of those bad chapters but I changed
it. I think you'll enjoy it more with the changes I made. I do not own Yu-
Gi-Oh but I do own all the characters not in the anime or manga.

Months later after Isis had died, Yami decided to walk around the city to get his mind off his deceased wife. He was just about to head back to the palace when he saw a crowd of people standing around someone screaming. He wanted to know what all the commotion was about and went over to check it out. Yami pushed the people away and saw a girl in her early twenties on the ground in the middle of the crowd. She had scratches and bruises all over her body and seemed to be crying, so everyone was laughing.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yami demanded and everyone went quiet. "Well, are you going to answer me?" He bent down and picked her up. "You need some help." Yami carried her back to the palace and put her in one of the several empty rooms. "Is this alright for you?"
"Yes it is." She replied. "Thank you."
"What's your name anyway?"
"It's Damara. I'm princess Damara from Cairo (capital of Egypt-not then, but now). I guess the townspeople from your city didn't recognize me."
"And I'm sorry they didn't." said Yami. "You are welcome to stay at my palace until you are healed. Then I will take you back to yours if you like."
She didn't answer for a while. "I don't know if I should go back..not many people like me."
"Then I will have my people build you one here." He offered.
"I really need some rest, Yami. Why don't we talk about this later?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami decided to tell Simon Muran about Damara to see if he had ever heard of her. "Her name is Damara." Yami told him. "She's the princess of Cairo."
"Cairo? There is no princess of Cairo! You own that city. She is obviously tricking you. Damara is probably telling you that because she wants you to like her." Simon Muran explained. "Maybe you should talk to her about it."
"I think I will." Yami said and went back into her room. Damara didn't look like she was resting. "Damara, we need to have a talk. Simon Muran just told me some interesting news; my kingdom extends to Cairo. There is no one ruling it except me. If you don't have a good explanation, I'm going to send you to the dungeon." He didn't really mean it; he only wanted to find out the truth from her.
"Yami! I didn't mean to lie!" Damara confessed. "I only wanted you to like me."
"You didn't have to lie to me. I would have liked you anyway."
"No you wouldn't have! You've turned me down before, Yami!"
"No I haven't! I don't know what you're talking about! When did I ever do that?" Yami asked.
"When you were fifteen, and were supposed to pick your wife, I was one of those girls, but instead, you picked Isis. I was sure you were going to pick me." Then she said quietly, "I'm sorry."
Yami walked over and hugged Damara. "It's okay."
"All I ever wanted was a family." She said. "I've been married so many times and every one of my husbands have abused me. But finally, I eventually found one that loved me and the day we were married, he died of unknown causes. I just want someone to love me." She looked up at him. "Will you?"
"You lied to me...." He said and Damara looked even more miserable than she did when they first met and made him feel bad for her. She had been through a lot, just like him. "I'll give you another chance."
