The three children, Malik, Bakura, and Anzu watched as the Pharaoh's guards took away their last cow. Anzu held her two older brothers hands and sniffed.

"Why are they taking her, Malik?" she asked looking up at the blonde boy.

Malik didn't answer, how could he answer? To him Anzu was still too young to understand...when he didn't really understand himself.

"Malik??" Anzu shook her brothers hand. "Bakura??" she watched the glum faces of her two older brothers and her eyes narrowed. "WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING ME?!"

"Shh, sister." Malik said looking down at her. "We don't want to make a scene..."

"But why do they come everyday to take our animals?" the young girl was determined to find out why.

"Malik..." Bakura looked at his twin.

Malik sighed and lifted Anzu up in his arms, and took out his rod. "Sleep sister..." he touched Anzu's forehead with the rod and she blacked out. He looked at his brother and gave her to him. "Put her in bed. I have to get to work at the neighbors..."

Bakura nodded and took Anzu and carried her in the house. He gently placed her on the bed and turned to leave.

"...Bakura...?"

Bakura froze and turned around to look at his sister. "Yes sis?" he sat on the foot of her bed.

"Malik won't tell me..but will you?" Anzu asked. "Why do the Pharaoh's guards take our things everyday?"

Bakura sighed. "We are falling behind in our orders, Anzu." he explained. "Its our job to supply food and things to the palace...but we aren't doing it quick enough...so they are coming to take the animals."

"Are we getting payed?" Anzu asked.

Bakura chuckled at his sisters curiosity. "No sister. That's why me and Malik got extra jobs..."

"I want to help." Anzu said.

"You have enough work around here...your only four, Anzu..."

"And your only two years older than me!" Anzu protested.

"Yes, but your only a little girl..."

"You sound like mother." Anzu pouted.

Bakura sighed. "Listen, I have to go work. Malik is already gone, so I'm going to leave you here to take care of things, OK? If a guard comes just show him where what ever he wants is, got that?"

Anzu nodded slowly. "OK, brother."

Bakura smiled and walked out of the house.

**

"Its no fair." Anzu pouted sitting on the fence going around their house. "I want to have another job like Bakura and Malik...I don't want to stay here to wait for the guards...they scare me."

"Excuse me, miss?" a young boy around her age looked up at her from where she was on the fence. He had blonde, red, and black hair, and crimson eyes. He was wearing a brown cloak with a hood on it. "May I hide in your farm?"

Anzu jumped off the fence and looked at the boy. "Why?"

"There's no time to explain." the boy said. "Please, miss...I don't want to be found."

Anzu sighed. "Follow me then...but if my brothers find out I'll be in big trouble." she lead him into one of the horse stalls.

"Thank you so much, miss." the boy said with a innocent smile.

"My name isn't miss." Anzu said crossing her arms. "Its Anzu."

The boy laughed. "OK, Anzu, my name is Yami."

"Yami?" Anzu took a step away from him. "Prince...Yami?"

The boy nodded.

Anzu got down on her knees and bowed to him.((Smart for a four year old, lol))

"Please." Yami made her stand up. "Don't do that...it's the reason why I don't want to be found. I don't want to be treated like that..."

"You don't want to be Pharaoh?" Anzu asked.

Yami shook his head.

"But...don't you have to be sixteen years old before you can be named Pharaoh?" Anzu asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, but I get treated like Pharaoh NOW." Yami said, he grabbed her hands. "Please miss, Anzu, don't let them find me!"

Anzu looked into Yami's pleading eyes and sighed, she hauled her hands away from his. "OK your highness."

"Yami." he said. "Call me Yami."

"Fine, OK, YAMI, I won't tell anybody you're here." Anzu said. "But the Pharaoh's guards usually comes here to take our animals...so I can't promise that they won't find you."

"Oh, you're the family that owes us food." Yami said.

"We don't OWE you food." Anzu snapped. "We are just falling behind in our orders...that's all..."

Yami nodded slowly and watched as the young brunette walked out of the stable.

"Anzu, where are you going with that bread?" Malik asked watching anzu trying to leave the house with a piece of buttered bread.

"To the stables." Anzu said looking at him.

"Why?" Bakura asked. "We have no horses for you to feed."

"Can you two keep a secret?" Anzu asked in a small whisper.

The two brothers nodded.

"Well...Prince Yami came by today, he wanted to hide in our stables so I said yes!"

No sooner had the words came out of her mouth than her brothers leaped up from the table and out into the stables.

"Wait!" Anzu called running behind them, keeping the bread firmly in her hand.

Bakura and Malik stopped at the stable door and peered in at Yami, who was sat in a pile of hay looking at them.

"ANZU!" Bakura said sternly as his sister walked into the stable.

"Please, sir, its not her fault." Yami said. "I asked her to."

"Anzu, do you know how much trouble we'll be in if..." Malik never got to finish, four guards burst between the two boys, pushing them to the ground.

"Prince Yami!" they said picking him up. "You must come back now!" they began to walk away from the farm.

"Yami! Wait!" Anzu ran after the guards waving the bread around. Yami looked back at her. "YAMI! I made you th-AH!" Anzu tripped up in a rock and fell on her face.

"Ah..." Yami watched as the farm got further away, and he was returned to the palace.
