After the trespassing of the thief Bakura. Pharaoh Akunamkanon was buried back to the cemetery.
At the east of palace, which was a dueling stage. The Priests powered up their monsters and had a duel practice, this helped them to prepare for Bakura. Each person could summon a monster from his own tablet. The six Priests divided into two teams. The first group contained Priests Mahado, Ishizu, and Karim the second group contained Priests Seto, Aknadean, and Shadah. The winner was whose monster could beat all the others. Akeyana and her sisters stood watching the duel as the Pharaoh sat on the throne with Shimon by his side.
The duel begins...
Priest Seto summons Soul Dyasu, Priest Shadah summons Zerua, Priest Mahado summons an Illusive Magician, Priest Ishizu summons Spirit Superia, Priest Aknadean summons Dark Shabud, and Priest Karim summoned a trap monster.
Priest Seto: Soul Dyasu attack the Illusive Magician.
Priest Mahado's monster has a trap which seals the monsters movement. Suddenly Priest Aknadean uses his monster to take the spell instead, while it was being destroyed, Priest Ishizu uses her monsters special ability rainbow wall to defend.
Shimon: Priest Mahado's team seems to have good cooperation.
Priest Shadah then activates his monsters ability to destroy rainbow wall. Then Priest Karim uses his trap monster, (which is a spider hidden in the sand) and uses its web to seal Zerua's movement. Then Priest Seto starts attacking his partners monsters and by sacrificing their monsters ( which surprised everyone)by doing so he would increase his monsters power. Then he destroyed all of his opponents monsters. The winner was Priest Seto's group.
Priest Seto: Priest Mahado, your monsters are to weak to protect the
Pharaohs cemetery.
( Akeyana got angry because she couldn't understand why Priest Seto acted so cold heartedly to his fellow priests.)
Priest Karim: I am satisfied with the defeat but I feel we did not have to sacrifice the monsters to win.
Priest Mahado: Priest Seto, Your strength is no greater than mine.
Pharaoh: If you had real strength you wouldn't hurt your partners.
Priest Seto: I don't believe you Pharaoh.
Priest Seto wanted to see the power of God, by taunting the Pharaoh.
Pharaoh: I refuse to use the power of God.
Priest Seto: ( laughing devilish to himself) No other monster than God can defeat my beast.
Priest Seto challenged the Pharaoh and summoned Spirit Dyasu while Pharaoh summoned a tiny monster named Kuribo.
Priest Seto destroyed the tablet before it was summoned. Just then a large amount of Kuribos appeared and sealed Dyasu's sword. Pharaoh seemed displeased with Priest Seto.
Pharaoh: Priest Mahado, I shall assign you to be the head guard that will supervise the Tomb of King Akunamkanon's body. You must be careful of the thief Bakura.
Shimon: I agree, you should be very cautious while doing so.
Priest Mahado: I have planned a trap for the thief Bakura.
Priest Seto: If you fail again your priest rank might be revoked.
Shimon: The Pharaoh has the authority to make that decision.
Pharaoh: I trust you Mahado.
Priest Seto: Whatever.
Akeyana walks over to the Pharaoh.
Akeyana: You know he has a short chance of making it out alive. With Bakura's God like creature why would you put your most trusted Priest, also your best friend out there knowing he might not make it out alive?
Priest Seto: It is the Pharaoh's decision what to do about this thief situation, you should just mind your business.
Akeyana: I didn't ask you for any comment.
Shimon: Please both of you do not argue like childish children in front of the Pharaoh.
The Pharaoh shakes his head in dismay. Akeyana walks off pissed.
Meanwhile...
As Priest Mahado prepares for his plan, his student Mana appears from a jar, she has come to see her great teacher.
Priest Mahado: You should not play around the palace.
Shimon: The Pharaoh used to play around and pull his father around everywhere just like that but on the other hand, Priest Mahado I must tell you that your Ka is still weak. It might be fatal to challenge Bakura.
This made Priest Mahado's student, Mana very angry.
Mana: My teacher is a great teacher. He sealed some magic power when he first got his millennium ring 5 years ago.
This made Shimon think. Mana went back to train some more and Shimon walked away still thinking to himself. Akeyana stormed by pissed as ever at Priest Seto.
Priest Mahado: Is something wrong?
Akeyana: Yes, I don't understand how you put up with Priest Seto's nasty little comments. He always acts like he is in charge.
Priest Mahado: You just don't understand him.
Akeyana: I don't understand what I ever did to him.
priest mahado: He is just that way, I pay no attention to him because I know the Pharaoh is in charge and makes the decisions. He is just so selfish.
Akeyana: Yeah but, why would you take such a dangerous mission knowing you could get killed?
Priest Mahado: because I am here to serve the Pharaoh, I care about him. Bakura must be stopped someway.
Akeyana: Well can you have someone else do it, I mean its just not fair and you have always been so nice to me and now I might lose you.
Priest Mahado: ( smiles and holds her in his arms) if you have faith in me maybe I can defeat Bakura, but if I don't make it out alive hold on to this for me ( gives her a necklace and a kiss on the cheek) come with me I want to talk to you some more.
They arrive in the garden.
Priest Mahado: I think you will become a great Queen.
Akeyana: Yes I hope I do.
Priest Mahado: The Pharaoh seems happier with you around.
Akeyana: Yeah, he is just always lost in thought. Its like he is drifting away somewhere.
Priest Mahado: He does have a big responsibility. As a Pharaoh.
Akeyana: I never really get to talk to him that much. When we do talk I tell him more about me but, he doesn't say anything about his life.
Priest Mahado: The Pharaoh has had a good childhood. He is probably just embarrassed to tell you about it.
Akeyana: Yeah.
Priest Mahado: You must always stand by the Pharaoh's side, As his Queen you too have a responsibility. If I do not make it out alive promise me to protect the Pharaoh.
Akeyana: I will always and Forever.
Priest Mahado leaves to finish preparing for his trap to capture Bakura. Akeyana remains in the garden still thinking to herself about the Pharaoh.
Meanwhile...
Anak-su-ha-me: ( referring to Akeyana) That no good slut.
Nafatiri: She is just talking to him, don't be a jealous old bag I find Priest Mahado kind of cute.
Anak-su-ha-me: I think your a sick bastard.
Nafatiri: Your just a jealous bastard every time you can't get what you want you have to kill people for it, YOU are the older sister you should watch over your younger siblings and be happy for them. Akeyana did save you from getting your ass whopped by our father.
Teania: Nafatiri, that was not the right thing to say.
Anak-su-ha-me: ( slaps Nafatiri hard across the face) You would be wise not to mention that ever again.
Nafatiri stands in shock, As Anak-su-ha-me walks off.
Teania: Are you okay?
Nafatiri: Yes. She will learn one day. Akeyana won't be there to save her sorry ass.
Nafatiri leaves and goes back to her room.
Teania: When will this madness end.
Anak-su-ha-me is headed over to tell the Pharaoh.
Teania walks around seeing all these barely dressed girls going somewhere, it makes her wonder if something bad happened.
Teania: what's going on?
Maiden 1: We are going to serve the Pharaoh in his private room.
Maiden 2: Why don't you come too?
Teania: I don't think I should.
Maiden 2: Awww come on I mean seriously who wouldn't want to be pampering a sexy Pharaoh like him. Akeyana is very lucky.
Teania: Alright I'll come.
The Pharaoh is bathing with lots of ladies surrounding him and pampering him.
Anak-su-ha-me sees this and runs to tell Akeyana. She finds her sitting in the garden.
Anak-su-ha-me: Akeyana I must show you something.
Akeyana: What?
Anak-su-ha-me: Well its about the Pharaoh. Just come on and see for yourself.
Akeyana: Fine.
They both walk to the Pharaohs little "private room" and Akeyana stands there with her mouth hanging open. The maidens are cleaning his clothes and massaging him. He has 2 maidens in the tub with him feeding him grapes and one of those maidens is Teania.
Akeyana: ( starts crying )
Anak-su-ha-me: ( laughing inside) Oh my God what is going on here? Are you alright Akeyana?
