Chapter 4~ Love
~*~*~*~
The sky began to darken as the group traveled. The desert breeze became cool and comfortable, compared to the day heat. Yami rested his chin on Yugi's shoulder, his arms wrapped around his waist. A light blush covered Yugi's cheeks as he felt Yami's warm breath on him. "Yugi, would you care for me no matter what?" he asked quietly. "Of course! Yami, I will love you no matter what!! What I feel for you is . . ." Yugi's blush deepened. Yami's lips turned up in a smile. "True love?" he finished. Yugi slowly nodded.
Yami gently kissed Yugi's neck. "Aishiteru, Aibou." He whispered against his skin. Yugi shivered at the feeling and gasped when Yami's lips touched his neck again. He tilted his head and leaned back into Yami. He let out a soundless moan as Yami made his mark, gently sucking and biting at Yugi's neck. Saren looked over at them with a small smile. She then looked to her other side at Ryou.
She struggled to hold in a laugh as she saw Ryou. His arms were latched tightly onto Jounouchi's waist and he was asleep against his back. Jou, VERY aware of him, was blushing as red as a tomato. She turned and looked behind herself and saw Honda, staring down at the sand. She frowned slightly and stopped Rasha, waiting for Honda. "What's wrong?" she asked. Honda blushed. "Nothing." He answered.
"Don't make me read your mind, Honda." Honda looked over at her. "You can do that?" she giggled. "Well, I AM a sorceress." She replied. "Right." Honda looked back down again. "Please tell me, Honda." She said. He sighed. "It seems like everyone has some one, except for me." Saren smiled. "Maybe you will find someone in the city." She suggested.
"I myself don't have anyone either. Not since my lover died a few years ago." She said, looked ahead. "Who was your lover?" Saren smiled, remembering. "A very kind man loved by all who knew him." She answered. "So you don't have anyone who loves you?" Honda asked.
"Well, I might. At the moment all I'm focused on is the Pharaoh. Most people in the palace are frightened of me because of my powers, only the Pharaoh and his advisor see me as a human with feelings." She said. "You should get some sleep." She then rode faster and took her place by Yami and Yugi.
Yami held Yugi as he slept in his arms. He looked over and saw Saren still awake, Jounouchi to preoccupied to fall asleep, and Honda fast asleep behind them. He moved closer to Saren. "How long ago did you leave?" he asked. " A week after you turned up missing. Seto is practically jumping out of his skin because of it." She said, smiling over at him. "And you?" she reached over and barely touched his face. "I was far more worried."
"I'm sorry to have caused you to worry so." He said as he watched Yugi sleep. "As I told you before, it is my job to worry." She smiled lightly. "If it makes you slightly better, I had no idea Ryou left also." Yami chuckled lightly. "I know. It was just like him to do it."
"I am glad to see you have found your young beauty, Yami." She said. He nodded. "As am I. I truly do love him." Saren nodded. "I knew that you would. You should sleep while you still can." Yami nodded. "What about you?" he asked. "Do not worry, I don't think Jounouchi will be getting any sleep, so I may get in a few hours." Yami looked at Jou. "He will be asleep all day tomorrow if he doesn't get some rest."
"Somehow I don't think that will be a problem." Yami nodded and rested his head on Yugi's and closed his eyes. Saren looked over at Jou. "Are you really that nervous, Jounouchi?" she asked as she moved over to him. "I don't know what you're talking about." He said, blushing deeper as Ryou shifted slightly. Saren sweat dropped. "So you will sleep tomorrow?" she asked. Jou nodded. "Alright, then. I'm going to rest, so you keep watch, okay?" again, he nodded. Saren shook her head.
'Poor boy,' she thought. 'It's not like Ryou would do anything, he's JUST sleeping.' She shook her head again and closed her eyes, exhausted.
~*~*~*~
Yugi opened his eyes and an immediate blush came to his cheeks. Yami smiled against his neck. "I found an amusing way of waking you up, it seems." He chuckled. "You might want to look over at Jounouchi before Ryou wakes up." He added. Yugi looked past Saren and began giggling. "How long has he been like that?" he asked. "Since Ryou fell asleep." Saren said, smiling. Honda rode up by Yami and Yugi. "An oasis is close by, if you want to stop." Saren nodded.
"Rasha and the other camels need to rest." She said. Yami looked around. "Have we passed the massacre site?" he asked. "No. We are going around it. I don't want you all to see it again. Besides, Magi should be taking care of it, burying the bodies." She said. She looked back at Yami. "Just try to forget about it." They came upon the oasis and got off of the camels. As they drank and rested, the group stretched and rested in the shade. "Sleep well?" Saren asked Ryou, smiling. He nodded. "Very!" he said smiling. Saren looked over at another tree trunk and saw Jou fast asleep.
She sweat dropped. "He's already out." Ryou looked over at him. "Didn't he get any sleep?" he asked. "No, he was too busy blushing to sleep." Yami said. Ryou looked over at him, confused. "Eh?" Saren giggled. "I guess he's never been used as a pillow before." Ryou blushed. "I kept him up? I didn't know." He said, looking down.
~*~*~*~
"Sir! The search party has returned." Caleb informed Seto. "Did they return with anyone?" he asked, hopeful. "No." Seto glared. "Nothing? Not one thing?" he asked. "No, sir."
"I pray they return soon. I'm about at my last bit of sanity. How the Pharaoh does this everyday is beyond me." He said. "What do you mean?" Seto glared at the man. "Your arrogance greatly annoys me."
~*~*~*~
Saren walked back over to Rasha. "Wake him up, it's time we leave." Yugi shook Jou. He mumbled something incomprehensible. "Jou, wake up! It's time to leave!!" Yugi said. Jou sat up and yawned. "Already?" he asked. "You have been asleep for three hours, we have to go now. Tonight you will sleep, no buts about it." Saren said. She climbed on Rasha and waited for the others before they set out again.
~*~*~*~
As the night came, Yugi saw a small outline of a city in the distance. "Look!" he said, pointing to it. Everyone looked in the direction and Yami smiled. "That is Cairo." He said. "If we don't stop at all, we will be able to make it there by noon." Saren said. They nodded and continued. Yugi sighed and leaned back against Yami. "What is it?" he asked, looking down. Yugi smiled. "Nothing. We are almost there. I'm excited."
"You don't look like you are excited." Ryou said. "Well I am." Jou looked over. "It's our first time to the city, we're all excited." He said. Yugi smiled. "Yeah, I guess so!" he looked back to the city and watched as it got nearer. Hours later they were still a good distance from it, but Yugi could see the big buildings. "What is that?" he asked pointing to the biggest building. "That is the Pharaoh's Palace. It is very beautiful at dawn, when the sun hits the statues." Yami answered. Yugi watched in amazement as the sun began to rise.
"It is beautiful!" He breathed. Yami smiled and kissed his neck. "Almost as beautiful as you are, aibou." He whispered in his ear. Yugi blushed and leaned back into Yami some more, closing his eyes.
~*~*~*~
When Yugi awoke, they were in the city. He sat up straight and looked around at everything, eyes sparkling. He then noticed that he and everyone else were covered with their cloaks again. "Yami?" Yugi asked, looking back. Yami smiled at him. "Sleep well?" he asked. Yugi nodded. "Why are we in cloaks?" he asked. "It is necessary." Saren answered. "In the city there are people that are very dangerous. We are covering ourselves for our protection." Ryou said.
They came to a small building and Saren got down. "Why are we stopping here?" Yugi asked. "Because I'm hungry." Saren said. "Tsuli!" she yelled. A woman walked out of the building. "Saren!" she said, smiling when she saw her. "How are you doing?" she asked. "Good. We wanted to stop for something to eat before we continued home." Saren said. "Ah, you brought friends home. Come!! Tarin will take care of your camels." She said.
She called back into the building and a young man walked out. "Tarin, take care of their camels." He nodded and took the camels back to a side stable. The group followed Tsuli into the building. "It's a tavern?" Yugi asked. "Yes. I am the owner of it." Tsuli said. She led them to a table and smiled. "It's been so long since I last saw you, Saren. You should come and see me more often." Saren smiled. "You know I'd love to, but my obligations to the Pharaoh can not be ignored." She said. "I understand. He trusts you so much, everyone who knows you does. I'll be back with your favorite." She said and walked away."
"Maybe the Pharaoh will allow you to come once in a while?" Yugi suggested, looking at Saren. She smiled. "Pharaoh lets me do what I want, but I prefer to be close to him." She replied. Tsuli came back out carrying a big tray with the food and drinks on it. "Enjoy it. Today it will be on the house." She said smiling. "If you'll excuse me, I have to take care of things in the kitchen. I have a new employee and she's really a hazard." She winced as they heard a loud crash and she then ran off.
"I had no idea you had any good friends in places like this." Yami said as he stared down at the table. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up at Saren. "I have many friends that you do not know of, Yami. Tsuli is a very old friend. I met her through my parents." She said. She smiled. "Do you like it, Yugi?" he nodded. "This is good, I can see why it's your favorite." He said and took another bite. Saren giggled.
"Well, we should go now." She said after they finished eating. They left the building and walked back to Tarin. "Thank you, Tarin. Tell your mother I said good bye." She handed him a few gold pieces. "Come again!" he said as they left. They stopped at the palace and got off of their camels. Saren passed them off to some servants and she led them into the guarded palace. "What are we doing here?" Jou asked.
"You will see. Just be quiet and touch nothing." Yami said. He kept his eyes forward and walked slightly behind Saren. Yugi looked around the palace as they walked down the corridor. 'Wow, this place is absolutely beautiful.' He thought. They walked through the doors to the throne room and Yugi saw a tall handsome man with short brown hair and ice blue eyes pacing in front of the throne. "Seto." Yami said, his voice strong. He stepped up in front of Saren and removed the hood that was covering his head. Seto looked up and his eyes widened.
He quickly walked over. "Yami!" He stood in front of Yami, smiling slightly. "I am so relieved you are back." Yami smirked. "Thank you for taking care of things while Saren and I were gone." Seto nodded. "It was my pleasure. I hope I never have to do it again." Saren smiled. "Did they get on your nerves?" she asked. Seto made an annoyed face. Yami laughed, his voice echoing off of the walls. "Hopefully you will not have to."
"Hey, what's going on here?" Jou asked, confused. Yami walked past Seto and turned around, a smirk on his face. "Sorry to keep this from you, but it was for my safety. I am Yami, the Pharaoh of Egypt." He said. Jou and Honda stared at him with wide eyes. "No way!" Jou said, disbelieving. "Believe it." Yami said. He pulled the scroll out of a hidden pocket and handed it to Seto. "Uh, Pharaoh, what happened to it? It's covered in blood!" Seto said. "I was injured, but these young men found Ryou and I and took care of us." He said.
Yami looked at Yugi, who was just staring at him. "Yugi?" Yugi blinked. He then began to walk up to Yami. "Wait!" Seto reached out a hand, but Saren stopped him. He looked at her, confused, but she only shook her head. Yugi stopped a few feet from Yami, looking us into his eyes.
"Forgive me for deceiving you?" Yami asked. Yugi shook his head. "Yami, you did not deceive me." Yami stared at him. "But . . ." Yugi stepped closer and put a finger to his lips. "Forgive me, Yami. I was curious about the scroll so I opened it. I didn't read it, but I did read the signatures. I knew you were the Pharaoh." He said. Yugi brought his hand back down and looked at the floor. Yami just stood there watching him.
Yugi felt a hand under his chin and Yami gently made him look at him. "Why didn't you tell me you knew?" he asked. "Because . . ." tears came to his eyes. "I don't care who you are." He said. Yami brushed his tears away with his thumb. He cupped Yugi's face and shocked everyone in the room, save Saren, Ryou, Jou, and Honda, as he gently kissed Yugi. "I'm not mad at you, Yugi." He then wrapped his arms around him and hugged him. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and held him tightly.
Seto turned to Saren. "Saren, who is he?" he asked. "He is Yami's destined." She answered simply. "Uh . . .Pharaoh . . ." Caleb struggled to get past his shock. Yami glared up at him and he shut his mouth. Yami pulled Yugi back some and he faced Caleb. "Caleb, we are exhausted from our journey, so you are not to disturb any of us for the next few days, understood?" He asked. Caleb nodded. "Now, kindly show Honda and Jounouchi to their rooms. They are my guests and will be treated as well as I am." Caleb, Jounouchi, and Honda's eyes widened. "As will Yugi." Yami added.
When Caleb had done nothing but stare at the Pharaoh in disbelief, Yami glared. "Now!" he barked. Caleb jumped and quickly walked over to them. "F- follow me." He stuttered. His eyes followed Caleb as they left. "Yami, you don't have to be mean." Yugi said. Yami blinked and looked down at him. "I'm sorry, aibou." Yami looked at Seto. "Thank you again, Seto." Seto nodded. "Well, I'll be heading to my room. Have a nice night, you two." Ryou said, winking, as he made his way out into a corridor.
"Pharaoh, if I am needed, I will be here." Saren said. Yami nodded and took Yugi's hand, pulling him out after Ryou. Saren smiled as she watched them. She looked back at Seto, who seemed to still be in shock. "He truly loves him, Seto." She said to him. He snapped out of it and looked at her. "I can see." He sighed. "If the desert creature brings happiness to the Pharaoh, he brings happiness to the kingdom." He felt a hand on his shoulder. "You seem sad." Seto smirked. "Not sad, just shocked. Yami has never shown such affection to anyone before. It is different." He said. Saren nodded. "That it is. I like it." She smiled and walked over to the throne, sitting down.
~*~*~*~
Yami and Yugi walked down the corridor and stopped at a pair of double doors, guarded by two Magi. "Pharaoh! It is good to see you well!" one of the Magi said. Yami nodded. "You have him to thank for my health." He said, indicating Yugi. Yugi blushed, embarrassed. "Thank you, Lord, for helping our Pharaoh." The other said. Yugi's blush deepened and Yami smiled. The Magi opened the door and Yugi walked in, Yami behind him. As the doors closed, Yugi looked around the room in awe. A king-size bed sat across from him, beautiful purple silk sheets covering it. To his left was a mirror, table, and stool. On his right was a patio, over looking the kingdom.
Past the bed was a doorway, a door made of silk was parted on either side and Yugi could see that it was a bathing room. On the left, beside the mirror, was a wardrobe. "Yami, this is beautiful!" Yugi said. Yami smiled. "I'm glade you like it. This will be your room, also." He said, wrapping his arms around Yugi. Yugi blushed. "Thank you." He said quietly. "Let's get cleaned up, what do you say?" Yugi turned around. "Washing all of this desert sand off would be wonderful!" he said. Yami smiled and let go of Yugi.
He walked over to the wardrobe and opened it, pulling out some silk clothing. He closed it and walked into the room. "Are you coming?" he called back. Yugi's blush deepened and he followed him in. Yami pulled the cloth holders off, the silk door falling into place. Yugi looked around. The room was big. In the middle of it was a swimming pool sized bathtub, filled with water. He walked over and put his hand in. "It's warm!" he said. Yami chuckled. "Of course it is. The servants filled it when they were informed I was back." Yugi looked back. "Who told them?"
"Probably one of the Magi." Yami replied. He walked over to a shelf and looked at the bottles. "What is your favorite flower?" he asked as he looked at a bottle containing Rose perfume. "Roses." Yugi replied. Yami smiled and took the bottle over to the water. "They are mine, also." He said as he pulled the cork out and pored the perfume into the water. He pored the entire bottle in and placed the now empty bottle into a basket and pulled a bottle of oil off of another shelf. He placed it down by the edge and walked back over to Yugi.
"It's getting cold." He said. Yami smiled as he spotted the dark blush on Yugi's cheeks. He pulled off the cape, then stripped the rest of his clothes. "I believe I will have to help you with those." He said smiling, and helped Yugi with the rest of his clothes after the cape was gone. He stepped down onto the first step, and into the warm water. He pulled Yugi with him as he continued further into the water. "Don't be nervous, Yugi. Relax and enjoy the warm water." Yami said. He slowly made his way over to the edge with the bottle and leaned against it, sitting on the steps that were on that side. He looked back at Yugi and smiled.
Yugi had sunk down so that the water was up to his neck, and his eyes were closed. "This is nice." He breathed. "Come here, aibou." Yami said. Yugi opened his eyes and went over to Yami. Yami turned him around and brought him onto his lap. He reached out of the water and grabbed a sponge. Dipping it into the water, he ran it over Yugi's neck, shoulders, back, and arms. Yugi moaned at the feeling of the warm water running over him and exposing his wet skin to the cool air. Yami ran the sponge over his chest and leaned forward, kissing Yugi's neck gently.
Yugi turned to face him and Yami pored some of the oil into his hands. His hands roamed over Yugi's arms then his chest and neck. Yugi took the sponge and began to run it over Yami's body, receiving a moan from Yami. He smiled and took some of the oil, letting his hands linger around Yami's body. Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi's lips. Yugi responded and ran his tongue over Yami's lips. They opened and Yugi slid his tongue in, exploring every inch of Yami's mouth and battling his tongue for dominance.
Yami let Yugi win and enjoyed the feel of his velvety tongue. He moaned into the deep kiss and reluctantly pulled away, both gasping for breath. A light blush colored their cheeks. Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi's neck. "I love you, Yugi." He said in his ear. Yugi's blush deepened. "I love you too, Yami." He said. Yami kissed Yugi again, deepening the kiss and exploring his mouth. Yugi moaned and laced his fingers in Yami's hair, pulling him closer. They pulled away again. "We should finish getting cleaned up." Yami said, smiling. Yugi nodded and moved away. He dunked all the way in the water and came back up and wiped the water out of his eyes.
Yami did the same and swam up behind Yugi, startling him. Yami laughed. "Come on." He pulled Yugi out of the water and wrapped a robe around him, drying him off. He then replaced it with a silk robe and dried himself off, wrapping up in another silk robe. He followed Yugi out into the bedroom and smiled mischievously. He snuck up behind Yugi and as Yugi turned around he pinned him to the bed. Yugi gasped and Yami took the opportunity to kiss him.
When he pulled back, he smiled at Yugi. "What are you doing?" Yugi asked, surprised and blushing. Yami straddled his waist and help his wrists above his head. "You'll see." He replied and kissed Yugi's neck. He pulled back and removed the robe, so that Yugi's chest was exposed. Yami kissed down his neck and continued down his chest, sucking on one nipple then the other. Yugi gasped and moaned, his blush deepening, as Yami moved over to the other side and repeated what he had done. He released Yugi's hands and gently brushed up and down Yugi's sides. Yugi shivered at the feeling and moaned as Yami's hot kisses continued down his chest, then back up.
Yami then sat up and completely removed Yugi's robe, along with his own. His breath was taken away as he looked at Yugi. "You're so beautiful!" he whispered as he kissed Yugi's lips again. He laid down on top of Yugi and they gasped at the contact. "You are beautiful, two." Yugi said. Yami smiled and kissed him deeply, his hands wandering all over Yugi. Yugi brought his hands down and they explored Yami's bare skin. They separated and Yugi gasped, eyes widening, as Yami grinded their hips together. "You like that?" Yami asked. Yugi nodded and closed his eyes as Yami did it again. Yami smiled and kissed his way down Yugi's chest again, this time continuing further. Yugi's eyes shot open and then closed again and he moaned deeply as Yami took him fully in his mouth.
Yami sucked gently, running his tongue over Yugi's length and gently grazing it with his teeth. Yugi wrapped his hands in the silk at his sides and he began panting. Yami sucked harder and pulled Yugi out to the tip and took him back in again, gently grazing his teeth. Yugi gasped and began to tense as he felt an incredible pleasure just out of reach. Yami sucked harder once more and Yugi cried out, releasing into Yami's mouth. He swallowed as much as he could and moved back up, kissing Yugi deeply. They parted and Yugi was panting, still in the after effects of his release. "Did you liked that?" Yami asked. Yugi nodded, his breath slowly returning to normal. "It's not over yet." He said with a smile. "It's not?" Yugi asked. Yami shook his head. "Nope." He held his hand out and Yugi sucked on three of his fingers.
Yami pulled his hand back and sat back, kneeling between Yugi's legs. He slid one finger in his entrance. Moving it, he gently slid in another and leaned over, kissing Yugi again. He pushed the third finger in, stretching him, and tears stung Yugi's eyes. He whimpered. Yami then hit something and sparks flew in front of Yugi's eyes. Yami hit that spot once more and pulled his hand away. "Aibou, this will hurt." He said as he began to push into him. Yugi gasped and his hands flew to Yami's back. As he continued to push in, tears fell from Yugi's eyes and he dug his nails into Yami's skin, letting out a painful gasp. "Y-Yami . . ." he whimpered. Yami kissed him gently and remained still after he was buried all the way.
"Aibou?" he questioned, looking down at Yugi as he propped himself up on his elbows. Yugi opened his eyes and looked into Yami's dark ruby orbs. Yugi leaned up and kissed him. Yami tested it out and rocked his hips once. Yugi gasped and moaned. Yami pulled out and pushed back in, pulling another moan out of Yugi, and himself. He found a steady pace and Yugi wrapped his legs around Yami's waist, pulling him into a kiss. Yami's pace quickened and he hit that spot, sparks flying in front of Yugi's eyes again. He moaned and began to move with Yami, their pace quickening still. Yugi felt the incredible pleasure building up in him and Yami began to thrust harder, pulling almost completely out and thrusting in again.
He repeated that over and over again until he felt Yugi tense up and they cried out together as they fell into release. Yami collapsed on top of Yugi, then moved to his side. Breathing hard, he looked at Yugi and kissed him. "I love you." He said again. Yugi smiled and kissed Yami back. "I love you, too." He replied. Yami pulled Yugi into his arms and kissed his forehead. Yugi rested his head on Yami's chest, listening to his heat beat slowing back to normal. He giggled suddenly. "What?" Yami asked, looking down at his little lover. Yugi looked up at him. "It's already dark." He said. Yami was confused. "So?" he then heard a low rumbling noise and Yugi giggled again.
"We haven't had anything to eat since noon and our stomachs are hungry!" he said, giggling again. Yami blushed as his stomach growled loudly. "I guess we could have something brought to us." Yami said just before someone knocked on the door. One opened a little bit and Saren slipped in, carrying a tray of food, closing the door behind her. She smiled at the two, unfazed. Yami and Yugi sat up, light blushes on their faces, as she came in. "I see you two did have a good night." She giggled, setting the tray down in front of them. "I thought you'd be hungry, so I brought you dinner." She said. Yami nodded.
"Thank you . . ." he then slightly glared at her. "Tell no one of this." He said. "Of what, Pharaoh?" she asked, smiling. He caught the glint in her eyes and nodded. "Sleep well, you two." She said and walked back to the door. "Do not disturb them." They heard her say to the Magi as she closed the door. "That was embarrassing." Yugi said, his cheeks red. "I have a feeling she already knew we'd do that. Just ignore her, she won't tell anyone." Yami said. They ate the food on the tray and Yami took it over to the table and walked back to the bed. He curled up in the silk sheets, holding Yugi, and they drifted off to sleep, the night breeze cool against their skin.
~*~*~*~
Yami was rudely awakened the next morning by a pair of wandering lips. He cracked open an eye and found Yugi laying on top of him, kissing his cheeks, lips, and neck. Yami brought his hands up and gently caressed Yugi's sides. Yugi giggled and squirmed a little. A mischievous smile came to Yami's lips and he quickly rolled over, straddling Yugi and tickling him. Yugi laughed, begging Yami to stop. Yami didn't give stop his attack until Yugi was almost unable to breath.
Yugi breathed deeply, smiling up at Yami, trying to catch his breath. Yami folded his arms across his chest. "That should teach you for awakening me so rudely." He smirked playfully. Yugi propped himself up on his elbows. "I had to have some pay back for yesterday." He said, pouting slightly.
Yami leaned down and gently sucked on Yugi's pouting lip. Yugi gasped and Yami deepened the kiss. He ran his hands up Yugi's arms and their fingers intertwined by Yugi's head. Someone cleared their throat and Yami pulled back, glaring and annoyed with the person that interrupted. Saren stood at the door, smirking at the two. "Now I see that you really are perfect for eachother." She said. Yami waved her off and captured Yugi's lips again, Yugi blushing. Saren walked over to the bed and kneeled down resting her hands on the bed and her chin on her hands. She giggled at the blush on Yugi's cheeks. "Pharaoh, you are greatly embarrassing your lover." She chided. Yami growled and pulled away again.
"Then why don't you leave?" She smiled. "Because it is almost noon and I thought that Yugi would enjoy it if you would show him around your kingdom." She said. "But wouldn't people recognize him?" Yugi asked. "No. Hardly anyone has seen the Pharaoh, and those who have are either in prison, dead, or don't know I am the pharaoh." Yami said. "Then can you, Yami? Please??" Yugi made a puppy dog face and pouted. Yami groaned and kissed his pouting lips. "Fine." He said. Yugi smiled brightly and hugged Yami. Saren smiled at the two and got up. She walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out two pairs of commoner clothes.
"Let the poor boy up already, Yami!" she said as she walked back over. Yami moved and Yugi sat up. "Dress in these." She said, handing Yami a pair of pants and a long sleeved shirt. She handed Yami a pair also and as they dressed in them, she pulled out a brush, a couple of hats, and a small leather pouch. She made Yugi sit on a stool and she brushed through his hair. "Thank you." He said after she was done. She smiled. "Your welcome." She said and placed a hat on his head. Smiling, she then forced Yami to sit down and brushed his hair and put the hat on his head.
~*~*~*~
After they ate, she led them through a secret passage out of the castle and handed Yami the pouch. "Some coins so you can buy anything either of you want." She said. Yami tied it to his pants and put his shirt over it. "Have a good time, Yugi! And come back before dark. Ryou said he would meet up with you in a few minutes. Don't worry, he'll find you." She said and disappeared back into the passage. Yami looked down at Yugi. "Well, lets go." He said and they walked out into the market.
~*~*~*~ LK: It's finished!!! Wow, and yesterday I wasn't even half way done!! Tell me how it was, this was my first, so it's probably bad. I've read many, but I don't think I'm as good at writing it as other authors are.

Chapter 4~ Love
~*~*~*~
The sky began to darken as the group traveled. The desert breeze became cool and comfortable, compared to the day heat. Yami rested his chin on Yugi's shoulder, his arms wrapped around his waist. A light blush covered Yugi's cheeks as he felt Yami's warm breath on him. "Yugi, would you care for me no matter what?" he asked quietly. "Of course! Yami, I will love you no matter what!! What I feel for you is . . ." Yugi's blush deepened. Yami's lips turned up in a smile. "True love?" he finished. Yugi slowly nodded.
Yami gently kissed Yugi's neck. "Aishiteru, Aibou." He whispered against his skin. Yugi shivered at the feeling and gasped when Yami's lips touched his neck again. He tilted his head and leaned back into Yami. He let out a soundless moan as Yami made his mark, gently sucking and biting at Yugi's neck. Saren looked over at them with a small smile. She then looked to her other side at Ryou.
She struggled to hold in a laugh as she saw Ryou. His arms were latched tightly onto Jounouchi's waist and he was asleep against his back. Jou, VERY aware of him, was blushing as red as a tomato. She turned and looked behind herself and saw Honda, staring down at the sand. She frowned slightly and stopped Rasha, waiting for Honda. "What's wrong?" she asked. Honda blushed. "Nothing." He answered.
"Don't make me read your mind, Honda." Honda looked over at her. "You can do that?" she giggled. "Well, I AM a sorceress." She replied. "Right." Honda looked back down again. "Please tell me, Honda." She said. He sighed. "It seems like everyone has some one, except for me." Saren smiled. "Maybe you will find someone in the city." She suggested.
"I myself don't have anyone either. Not since my lover died a few years ago." She said, looked ahead. "Who was your lover?" Saren smiled, remembering. "A very kind man loved by all who knew him." She answered. "So you don't have anyone who loves you?" Honda asked.
"Well, I might. At the moment all I'm focused on is the Pharaoh. Most people in the palace are frightened of me because of my powers, only the Pharaoh and his advisor see me as a human with feelings." She said. "You should get some sleep." She then rode faster and took her place by Yami and Yugi.
Yami held Yugi as he slept in his arms. He looked over and saw Saren still awake, Jounouchi to preoccupied to fall asleep, and Honda fast asleep behind them. He moved closer to Saren. "How long ago did you leave?" he asked. " A week after you turned up missing. Seto is practically jumping out of his skin because of it." She said, smiling over at him. "And you?" she reached over and barely touched his face. "I was far more worried."
"I'm sorry to have caused you to worry so." He said as he watched Yugi sleep. "As I told you before, it is my job to worry." She smiled lightly. "If it makes you slightly better, I had no idea Ryou left also." Yami chuckled lightly. "I know. It was just like him to do it."
"I am glad to see you have found your young beauty, Yami." She said. He nodded. "As am I. I truly do love him." Saren nodded. "I knew that you would. You should sleep while you still can." Yami nodded. "What about you?" he asked. "Do not worry, I don't think Jounouchi will be getting any sleep, so I may get in a few hours." Yami looked at Jou. "He will be asleep all day tomorrow if he doesn't get some rest."
"Somehow I don't think that will be a problem." Yami nodded and rested his head on Yugi's and closed his eyes. Saren looked over at Jou. "Are you really that nervous, Jounouchi?" she asked as she moved over to him. "I don't know what you're talking about." He said, blushing deeper as Ryou shifted slightly. Saren sweat dropped. "So you will sleep tomorrow?" she asked. Jou nodded. "Alright, then. I'm going to rest, so you keep watch, okay?" again, he nodded. Saren shook her head.
'Poor boy,' she thought. 'It's not like Ryou would do anything, he's JUST sleeping.' She shook her head again and closed her eyes, exhausted.
~*~*~*~
Yugi opened his eyes and an immediate blush came to his cheeks. Yami smiled against his neck. "I found an amusing way of waking you up, it seems." He chuckled. "You might want to look over at Jounouchi before Ryou wakes up." He added. Yugi looked past Saren and began giggling. "How long has he been like that?" he asked. "Since Ryou fell asleep." Saren said, smiling. Honda rode up by Yami and Yugi. "An oasis is close by, if you want to stop." Saren nodded.
"Rasha and the other camels need to rest." She said. Yami looked around. "Have we passed the massacre site?" he asked. "No. We are going around it. I don't want you all to see it again. Besides, Magi should be taking care of it, burying the bodies." She said. She looked back at Yami. "Just try to forget about it." They came upon the oasis and got off of the camels. As they drank and rested, the group stretched and rested in the shade. "Sleep well?" Saren asked Ryou, smiling. He nodded. "Very!" he said smiling. Saren looked over at another tree trunk and saw Jou fast asleep.
She sweat dropped. "He's already out." Ryou looked over at him. "Didn't he get any sleep?" he asked. "No, he was too busy blushing to sleep." Yami said. Ryou looked over at him, confused. "Eh?" Saren giggled. "I guess he's never been used as a pillow before." Ryou blushed. "I kept him up? I didn't know." He said, looking down.
~*~*~*~
"Sir! The search party has returned." Caleb informed Seto. "Did they return with anyone?" he asked, hopeful. "No." Seto glared. "Nothing? Not one thing?" he asked. "No, sir."
"I pray they return soon. I'm about at my last bit of sanity. How the Pharaoh does this everyday is beyond me." He said. "What do you mean?" Seto glared at the man. "Your arrogance greatly annoys me."
~*~*~*~
Saren walked back over to Rasha. "Wake him up, it's time we leave." Yugi shook Jou. He mumbled something incomprehensible. "Jou, wake up! It's time to leave!!" Yugi said. Jou sat up and yawned. "Already?" he asked. "You have been asleep for three hours, we have to go now. Tonight you will sleep, no buts about it." Saren said. She climbed on Rasha and waited for the others before they set out again.
~*~*~*~
As the night came, Yugi saw a small outline of a city in the distance. "Look!" he said, pointing to it. Everyone looked in the direction and Yami smiled. "That is Cairo." He said. "If we don't stop at all, we will be able to make it there by noon." Saren said. They nodded and continued. Yugi sighed and leaned back against Yami. "What is it?" he asked, looking down. Yugi smiled. "Nothing. We are almost there. I'm excited."
"You don't look like you are excited." Ryou said. "Well I am." Jou looked over. "It's our first time to the city, we're all excited." He said. Yugi smiled. "Yeah, I guess so!" he looked back to the city and watched as it got nearer. Hours later they were still a good distance from it, but Yugi could see the big buildings. "What is that?" he asked pointing to the biggest building. "That is the Pharaoh's Palace. It is very beautiful at dawn, when the sun hits the statues." Yami answered. Yugi watched in amazement as the sun began to rise.
"It is beautiful!" He breathed. Yami smiled and kissed his neck. "Almost as beautiful as you are, aibou." He whispered in his ear. Yugi blushed and leaned back into Yami some more, closing his eyes.
~*~*~*~
When Yugi awoke, they were in the city. He sat up straight and looked around at everything, eyes sparkling. He then noticed that he and everyone else were covered with their cloaks again. "Yami?" Yugi asked, looking back. Yami smiled at him. "Sleep well?" he asked. Yugi nodded. "Why are we in cloaks?" he asked. "It is necessary." Saren answered. "In the city there are people that are very dangerous. We are covering ourselves for our protection." Ryou said.
They came to a small building and Saren got down. "Why are we stopping here?" Yugi asked. "Because I'm hungry." Saren said. "Tsuli!" she yelled. A woman walked out of the building. "Saren!" she said, smiling when she saw her. "How are you doing?" she asked. "Good. We wanted to stop for something to eat before we continued home." Saren said. "Ah, you brought friends home. Come!! Tarin will take care of your camels." She said.
She called back into the building and a young man walked out. "Tarin, take care of their camels." He nodded and took the camels back to a side stable. The group followed Tsuli into the building. "It's a tavern?" Yugi asked. "Yes. I am the owner of it." Tsuli said. She led them to a table and smiled. "It's been so long since I last saw you, Saren. You should come and see me more often." Saren smiled. "You know I'd love to, but my obligations to the Pharaoh can not be ignored." She said. "I understand. He trusts you so much, everyone who knows you does. I'll be back with your favorite." She said and walked away."
"Maybe the Pharaoh will allow you to come once in a while?" Yugi suggested, looking at Saren. She smiled. "Pharaoh lets me do what I want, but I prefer to be close to him." She replied. Tsuli came back out carrying a big tray with the food and drinks on it. "Enjoy it. Today it will be on the house." She said smiling. "If you'll excuse me, I have to take care of things in the kitchen. I have a new employee and she's really a hazard." She winced as they heard a loud crash and she then ran off.
"I had no idea you had any good friends in places like this." Yami said as he stared down at the table. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up at Saren. "I have many friends that you do not know of, Yami. Tsuli is a very old friend. I met her through my parents." She said. She smiled. "Do you like it, Yugi?" he nodded. "This is good, I can see why it's your favorite." He said and took another bite. Saren giggled.
"Well, we should go now." She said after they finished eating. They left the building and walked back to Tarin. "Thank you, Tarin. Tell your mother I said good bye." She handed him a few gold pieces. "Come again!" he said as they left. They stopped at the palace and got off of their camels. Saren passed them off to some servants and she led them into the guarded palace. "What are we doing here?" Jou asked.
"You will see. Just be quiet and touch nothing." Yami said. He kept his eyes forward and walked slightly behind Saren. Yugi looked around the palace as they walked down the corridor. 'Wow, this place is absolutely beautiful.' He thought. They walked through the doors to the throne room and Yugi saw a tall handsome man with short brown hair and ice blue eyes pacing in front of the throne. "Seto." Yami said, his voice strong. He stepped up in front of Saren and removed the hood that was covering his head. Seto looked up and his eyes widened.
He quickly walked over. "Yami!" He stood in front of Yami, smiling slightly. "I am so relieved you are back." Yami smirked. "Thank you for taking care of things while Saren and I were gone." Seto nodded. "It was my pleasure. I hope I never have to do it again." Saren smiled. "Did they get on your nerves?" she asked. Seto made an annoyed face. Yami laughed, his voice echoing off of the walls. "Hopefully you will not have to."
"Hey, what's going on here?" Jou asked, confused. Yami walked past Seto and turned around, a smirk on his face. "Sorry to keep this from you, but it was for my safety. I am Yami, the Pharaoh of Egypt." He said. Jou and Honda stared at him with wide eyes. "No way!" Jou said, disbelieving. "Believe it." Yami said. He pulled the scroll out of a hidden pocket and handed it to Seto. "Uh, Pharaoh, what happened to it? It's covered in blood!" Seto said. "I was injured, but these young men found Ryou and I and took care of us." He said.
Yami looked at Yugi, who was just staring at him. "Yugi?" Yugi blinked. He then began to walk up to Yami. "Wait!" Seto reached out a hand, but Saren stopped him. He looked at her, confused, but she only shook her head. Yugi stopped a few feet from Yami, looking us into his eyes.
"Forgive me for deceiving you?" Yami asked. Yugi shook his head. "Yami, you did not deceive me." Yami stared at him. "But . . ." Yugi stepped closer and put a finger to his lips. "Forgive me, Yami. I was curious about the scroll so I opened it. I didn't read it, but I did read the signatures. I knew you were the Pharaoh." He said. Yugi brought his hand back down and looked at the floor. Yami just stood there watching him.
Yugi felt a hand under his chin and Yami gently made him look at him. "Why didn't you tell me you knew?" he asked. "Because . . ." tears came to his eyes. "I don't care who you are." He said. Yami brushed his tears away with his thumb. He cupped Yugi's face and shocked everyone in the room, save Saren, Ryou, Jou, and Honda, as he gently kissed Yugi. "I'm not mad at you, Yugi." He then wrapped his arms around him and hugged him. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and held him tightly.
Seto turned to Saren. "Saren, who is he?" he asked. "He is Yami's destined." She answered simply. "Uh . . .Pharaoh . . ." Caleb struggled to get past his shock. Yami glared up at him and he shut his mouth. Yami pulled Yugi back some and he faced Caleb. "Caleb, we are exhausted from our journey, so you are not to disturb any of us for the next few days, understood?" He asked. Caleb nodded. "Now, kindly show Honda and Jounouchi to their rooms. They are my guests and will be treated as well as I am." Caleb, Jounouchi, and Honda's eyes widened. "As will Yugi." Yami added.
When Caleb had done nothing but stare at the Pharaoh in disbelief, Yami glared. "Now!" he barked. Caleb jumped and quickly walked over to them. "F- follow me." He stuttered. His eyes followed Caleb as they left. "Yami, you don't have to be mean." Yugi said. Yami blinked and looked down at him. "I'm sorry, aibou." Yami looked at Seto. "Thank you again, Seto." Seto nodded. "Well, I'll be heading to my room. Have a nice night, you two." Ryou said, winking, as he made his way out into a corridor.
"Pharaoh, if I am needed, I will be here." Saren said. Yami nodded and took Yugi's hand, pulling him out after Ryou. Saren smiled as she watched them. She looked back at Seto, who seemed to still be in shock. "He truly loves him, Seto." She said to him. He snapped out of it and looked at her. "I can see." He sighed. "If the desert creature brings happiness to the Pharaoh, he brings happiness to the kingdom." He felt a hand on his shoulder. "You seem sad." Seto smirked. "Not sad, just shocked. Yami has never shown such affection to anyone before. It is different." He said. Saren nodded. "That it is. I like it." She smiled and walked over to the throne, sitting down.
~*~*~*~
Yami and Yugi walked down the corridor and stopped at a pair of double doors, guarded by two Magi. "Pharaoh! It is good to see you well!" one of the Magi said. Yami nodded. "You have him to thank for my health." He said, indicating Yugi. Yugi blushed, embarrassed. "Thank you, Lord, for helping our Pharaoh." The other said. Yugi's blush deepened and Yami smiled. The Magi opened the door and Yugi walked in, Yami behind him. As the doors closed, Yugi looked around the room in awe. A king-size bed sat across from him, beautiful purple silk sheets covering it. To his left was a mirror, table, and stool. On his right was a patio, over looking the kingdom.
Past the bed was a doorway, a door made of silk was parted on either side and Yugi could see that it was a bathing room. On the left, beside the mirror, was a wardrobe. "Yami, this is beautiful!" Yugi said. Yami smiled. "I'm glade you like it. This will be your room, also." He said, wrapping his arms around Yugi. Yugi blushed. "Thank you." He said quietly. "Let's get cleaned up, what do you say?" Yugi turned around. "Washing all of this desert sand off would be wonderful!" he said. Yami smiled and let go of Yugi.
He walked over to the wardrobe and opened it, pulling out some silk clothing. He closed it and walked into the room. "Are you coming?" he called back. Yugi's blush deepened and he followed him in. Yami pulled the cloth holders off, the silk door falling into place. Yugi looked around. The room was big. In the middle of it was a swimming pool sized bathtub, filled with water. He walked over and put his hand in. "It's warm!" he said. Yami chuckled. "Of course it is. The servants filled it when they were informed I was back." Yugi looked back. "Who told them?"
"Probably one of the Magi." Yami replied. He walked over to a shelf and looked at the bottles. "What is your favorite flower?" he asked as he looked at a bottle containing Rose perfume. "Roses." Yugi replied. Yami smiled and took the bottle over to the water. "They are mine, also." He said as he pulled the cork out and pored the perfume into the water. He pored the entire bottle in and placed the now empty bottle into a basket and pulled a bottle of oil off of another shelf. He placed it down by the edge and walked back over to Yugi.
"It's getting cold." He said. Yami smiled as he spotted the dark blush on Yugi's cheeks. He pulled off the cape, then stripped the rest of his clothes. "I believe I will have to help you with those." He said smiling, and helped Yugi with the rest of his clothes after the cape was gone. He stepped down onto the first step, and into the warm water. He pulled Yugi with him as he continued further into the water. "Don't be nervous, Yugi. Relax and enjoy the warm water." Yami said. He slowly made his way over to the edge with the bottle and leaned against it, sitting on the steps that were on that side. He looked back at Yugi and smiled.
Yugi had sunk down so that the water was up to his neck, and his eyes were closed. "This is nice." He breathed. "Come here, aibou." Yami said. Yugi opened his eyes and went over to Yami. Yami turned him around and brought him onto his lap. He reached out of the water and grabbed a sponge. Dipping it into the water, he ran it over Yugi's neck, shoulders, back, and arms. Yugi moaned at the feeling of the warm water running over him and exposing his wet skin to the cool air. Yami ran the sponge over his chest and leaned forward, kissing Yugi's neck gently.
Yugi turned to face him and Yami pored some of the oil into his hands. His hands roamed over Yugi's arms then his chest and neck. Yugi took the sponge and began to run it over Yami's body, receiving a moan from Yami. He smiled and took some of the oil, letting his hands linger around Yami's body. Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi's lips. Yugi responded and ran his tongue over Yami's lips. They opened and Yugi slid his tongue in, exploring every inch of Yami's mouth and battling his tongue for dominance.
Yami let Yugi win and enjoyed the feel of his velvety tongue. He moaned into the deep kiss and reluctantly pulled away, both gasping for breath. A light blush colored their cheeks. Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi's neck. "I love you, Yugi." He said in his ear. Yugi's blush deepened. "I love you too, Yami." He said. Yami kissed Yugi again, deepening the kiss and exploring his mouth. Yugi moaned and laced his fingers in Yami's hair, pulling him closer. They pulled away again. "We should finish getting cleaned up." Yami said, smiling. Yugi nodded and moved away. He dunked all the way in the water and came back up and wiped the water out of his eyes.
Yami did the same and swam up behind Yugi, startling him. Yami laughed. "Come on." He pulled Yugi out of the water and wrapped a robe around him, drying him off. He then replaced it with a silk robe and dried himself off, wrapping up in another silk robe. He followed Yugi out into the bedroom and smiled mischievously. He snuck up behind Yugi and as Yugi turned around he pinned him to the bed. Yugi gasped and Yami took the opportunity to kiss him.
When he pulled back, he smiled at Yugi. "What are you doing?" Yugi asked, surprised and blushing. Yami straddled his waist and help his wrists above his head. "You'll see." He replied and kissed Yugi's neck. He pulled back and removed the robe, so that Yugi's chest was exposed. Yami kissed down his neck and continued down his chest, sucking on one nipple then the other. Yugi gasped and moaned, his blush deepening, as Yami moved over to the other side and repeated what he had done. He released Yugi's hands and gently brushed up and down Yugi's sides. Yugi shivered at the feeling and moaned as Yami's hot kisses continued down his chest, then back up.
Yami then sat up and completely removed Yugi's robe, along with his own. His breath was taken away as he looked at Yugi. "You're so beautiful!" he whispered as he kissed Yugi's lips again. He laid down on top of Yugi and they gasped at the contact. "You are beautiful, two." Yugi said. Yami smiled and kissed him deeply, his hands wandering all over Yugi. Yugi brought his hands down and they explored Yami's bare skin. They separated and Yugi gasped, eyes widening, as Yami grinded their hips together. "You like that?" Yami asked. Yugi nodded and closed his eyes as Yami did it again. Yami smiled and kissed his way down Yugi's chest again, this time continuing further. Yugi's eyes shot open and then closed again and he moaned deeply as Yami took him fully in his mouth.
Yami sucked gently, running his tongue over Yugi's length and gently grazing it with his teeth. Yugi wrapped his hands in the silk at his sides and he began panting. Yami sucked harder and pulled Yugi out to the tip and took him back in again, gently grazing his teeth. Yugi gasped and began to tense as he felt an incredible pleasure just out of reach. Yami sucked harder once more and Yugi cried out, releasing into Yami's mouth. He swallowed as much as he could and moved back up, kissing Yugi deeply. They parted and Yugi was panting, still in the after effects of his release. "Did you liked that?" Yami asked. Yugi nodded, his breath slowly returning to normal. "It's not over yet." He said with a smile. "It's not?" Yugi asked. Yami shook his head. "Nope." He held his hand out and Yugi sucked on three of his fingers.
Yami pulled his hand back and sat back, kneeling between Yugi's legs. He slid one finger in his entrance. Moving it, he gently slid in another and leaned over, kissing Yugi again. He pushed the third finger in, stretching him, and tears stung Yugi's eyes. He whimpered. Yami then hit something and sparks flew in front of Yugi's eyes. Yami hit that spot once more and pulled his hand away. "Aibou, this will hurt." He said as he began to push into him. Yugi gasped and his hands flew to Yami's back. As he continued to push in, tears fell from Yugi's eyes and he dug his nails into Yami's skin, letting out a painful gasp. "Y-Yami . . ." he whimpered. Yami kissed him gently and remained still after he was buried all the way.
"Aibou?" he questioned, looking down at Yugi as he propped himself up on his elbows. Yugi opened his eyes and looked into Yami's dark ruby orbs. Yugi leaned up and kissed him. Yami tested it out and rocked his hips once. Yugi gasped and moaned. Yami pulled out and pushed back in, pulling another moan out of Yugi, and himself. He found a steady pace and Yugi wrapped his legs around Yami's waist, pulling him into a kiss. Yami's pace quickened and he hit that spot, sparks flying in front of Yugi's eyes again. He moaned and began to move with Yami, their pace quickening still. Yugi felt the incredible pleasure building up in him and Yami began to thrust harder, pulling almost completely out and thrusting in again.
He repeated that over and over again until he felt Yugi tense up and they cried out together as they fell into release. Yami collapsed on top of Yugi, then moved to his side. Breathing hard, he looked at Yugi and kissed him. "I love you." He said again. Yugi smiled and kissed Yami back. "I love you, too." He replied. Yami pulled Yugi into his arms and kissed his forehead. Yugi rested his head on Yami's chest, listening to his heat beat slowing back to normal. He giggled suddenly. "What?" Yami asked, looking down at his little lover. Yugi looked up at him. "It's already dark." He said. Yami was confused. "So?" he then heard a low rumbling noise and Yugi giggled again.
"We haven't had anything to eat since noon and our stomachs are hungry!" he said, giggling again. Yami blushed as his stomach growled loudly. "I guess we could have something brought to us." Yami said just before someone knocked on the door. One opened a little bit and Saren slipped in, carrying a tray of food, closing the door behind her. She smiled at the two, unfazed. Yami and Yugi sat up, light blushes on their faces, as she came in. "I see you two did have a good night." She giggled, setting the tray down in front of them. "I thought you'd be hungry, so I brought you dinner." She said. Yami nodded.
"Thank you . . ." he then slightly glared at her. "Tell no one of this." He said. "Of what, Pharaoh?" she asked, smiling. He caught the glint in her eyes and nodded. "Sleep well, you two." She said and walked back to the door. "Do not disturb them." They heard her say to the Magi as she closed the door. "That was embarrassing." Yugi said, his cheeks red. "I have a feeling she already knew we'd do that. Just ignore her, she won't tell anyone." Yami said. They ate the food on the tray and Yami took it over to the table and walked back to the bed. He curled up in the silk sheets, holding Yugi, and they drifted off to sleep, the night breeze cool against their skin.
~*~*~*~
Yami was rudely awakened the next morning by a pair of wandering lips. He cracked open an eye and found Yugi laying on top of him, kissing his cheeks, lips, and neck. Yami brought his hands up and gently caressed Yugi's sides. Yugi giggled and squirmed a little. A mischievous smile came to Yami's lips and he quickly rolled over, straddling Yugi and tickling him. Yugi laughed, begging Yami to stop. Yami didn't give stop his attack until Yugi was almost unable to breath.
Yugi breathed deeply, smiling up at Yami, trying to catch his breath. Yami folded his arms across his chest. "That should teach you for awakening me so rudely." He smirked playfully. Yugi propped himself up on his elbows. "I had to have some pay back for yesterday." He said, pouting slightly.
Yami leaned down and gently sucked on Yugi's pouting lip. Yugi gasped and Yami deepened the kiss. He ran his hands up Yugi's arms and their fingers intertwined by Yugi's head. Someone cleared their throat and Yami pulled back, glaring and annoyed with the person that interrupted. Saren stood at the door, smirking at the two. "Now I see that you really are perfect for eachother." She said. Yami waved her off and captured Yugi's lips again, Yugi blushing. Saren walked over to the bed and kneeled down resting her hands on the bed and her chin on her hands. She giggled at the blush on Yugi's cheeks. "Pharaoh, you are greatly embarrassing your lover." She chided. Yami growled and pulled away again.
"Then why don't you leave?" She smiled. "Because it is almost noon and I thought that Yugi would enjoy it if you would show him around your kingdom." She said. "But wouldn't people recognize him?" Yugi asked. "No. Hardly anyone has seen the Pharaoh, and those who have are either in prison, dead, or don't know I am the pharaoh." Yami said. "Then can you, Yami? Please??" Yugi made a puppy dog face and pouted. Yami groaned and kissed his pouting lips. "Fine." He said. Yugi smiled brightly and hugged Yami. Saren smiled at the two and got up. She walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out two pairs of commoner clothes.
"Let the poor boy up already, Yami!" she said as she walked back over. Yami moved and Yugi sat up. "Dress in these." She said, handing Yami a pair of pants and a long sleeved shirt. She handed Yami a pair also and as they dressed in them, she pulled out a brush, a couple of hats, and a small leather pouch. She made Yugi sit on a stool and she brushed through his hair. "Thank you." He said after she was done. She smiled. "Your welcome." She said and placed a hat on his head. Smiling, she then forced Yami to sit down and brushed his hair and put the hat on his head.
~*~*~*~
After they ate, she led them through a secret passage out of the castle and handed Yami the pouch. "Some coins so you can buy anything either of you want." She said. Yami tied it to his pants and put his shirt over it. "Have a good time, Yugi! And come back before dark. Ryou said he would meet up with you in a few minutes. Don't worry, he'll find you." She said and disappeared back into the passage. Yami looked down at Yugi. "Well, lets go." He said and they walked out into the market.
