Chii-chobits- Thanx for the review and history lesson ^^ I might use that later...

Purple Queen- Thanx for reviewing. I hope your doing a good job on the report. Im doing one in astronomy right now

Myst Lady- Thanx for the review. Yes, Anzu is a pretty cool character. Sadly, there r Anzu bashers out there. I know 1 person who could be 100% history genius..My dad. But, besides him, your right, and research can be very much a drag.

Archergirl2000- thanx for the kind comment. And thanx for reviewing my other stories.

Together- Thanx for the review. I don't understand what you mean be "why Anzu acts as she does". Don't worry, this will be a Yami/Anzu pairing.

A/N: Ok, that's it for the reviews. I forgot to put up the damn disclaimer last time --;;; Oh well, here it is. Myst, will you do the honors?

Myst: Star-Cosmos does not and never will own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or any of its characters. She does, however, own the OC (me ^_^) and the idea of this story.

The Egyptian Princess Chapter 2: Encounter

POV: DMG

It had been ten long and lonely years with out her. Ten long years of waiting and waiting for her to return. I still remember the night like it was yesterday. My friends try to cheer me up, but their tries and in vain. Nothing can cheer me up now. I sit here in the shadow realm just staring off into space. (Oh yeah, they can go back and forth from the shadow realm if they want. Sorry ^^) I guess its time I went back to help Dark Magician check the packages. As I exited the Shadow Realm, I felt a very familiar and strange aurora. It seemed like this person was near the palace gates. I quickly sped out the window and floated in the air for awhile; trying to see which gate they were at.

"Dark Magician Girl! They need your help at the northern gates with the packages." Myst called from her window. I nodded and decided to ignore the strange feeling as I started to head towards the northern gate. I saw Dark Magician and Wingweaver making sure no poisons were in the food. I sighed to myself; it was the start of a long day.

Normal POV

The cloaked woman slowly made her way up to the guard at the gate. "May I please have your name and you reason of importance." The guard asked.

"My name is of no concern to you nor is my purpose of my presence. But if you must know I am a dancer who has come to dance for Prince Yami tonight." She replied without looking up. The guard nodded and let her pass through. She walked in through the gates and looked at all the people doing work. When she came by a group of three monsters checking the food supply, she could have sworn that she heard one of the monsters talking. She shook her head and hurried towards the gardens. There, she removed the hood of her cloak and shook her head gentle. Her chocolate brown hair shinned in the sun as it gently fell into place. She scanned the perimeter for any signs of life to be nearby. When she was satisfied, she took off her cloak to reveal a light blue, almost see-through shirt and a pair of matching pants. 'Im coming for you, Pharaoh. For all the suffering you caused my family and everyone. And I herby promise to annihilate anyone who stands on my way.' Anzu thought to herself as she walked towards the other dancers. She kept a veil on the bottom half of her face as so know one could know what she truly looked like. Her master had been very strict about this rule or anything for that matter.

~Flashback~

"I don't care if it turns 150 degrees outside you shall never show your true looks to anyone." He told her strictly. Even though Anzu didn't mind wearing veil, she was still very uncomfortable in all those clothes and having to carry around the weapons of her master.

"But Master, it sticks to my face and feels like I'm suffocating! None of the other girls have to wear it, so why must I?" She asked sternly. Her master looked down on her with hate and disgrace. She had been in the group no more then five months and had already been given to a very hateful teacher to teach her the ways of murder.

"Was that a disagreement towards my orders?! You know better then to even question them!" He yelled and she received a lashing on her back. "Don't you EVER disagree with me again!" with that he stormed out of the tent to leave the very confused and hurt girl inside to cry.

~End Flashback~

The memory of that day still sent shivers down her back. Anzu sat under a tree waiting to be let into the palace with the rest of the dancers. Soon a young girl with short blondish-brown hair and pale skin walked over to the group. She was wearing a cotton sleeveless t-shirt that was colored blue rimmed with gold. Her skirt gray and it reached to just below her knee caps. She wore a gold belt around her waste that carried some type vial on it. She a silver band on her left arm two anklets around her feet. Her hair had a gold band in it to keep it from falling in her face.

"Ok, my name is Sero and I am in charge of the dancers for the Prince's celebration. If you will please follow me I will show you to your accommodations and dressing rooms." She said as she turned to walk into the palace. Anzu stood up and walked behind everyone else. When she entered her room she looked at the decorations. It was a beautifully furnished room with a wooden queen size bed and matching wood dresser. On the dresser were a variety of different accessories. One in particular caught her eye. It was a small silver necklace that was decorated with roses. She picked it up and examined it closely.

"That belonged to a young princess of Red Egypt (North I think...). She, the Pharaoh, and the Princess now use to be good friends." Came a voice from behind her. Anzu jumped and looked for the source of the voice. A Maid stood in the door way and was watching Anzu. "I'm sorry to disturb you but I couldn't help but notice you looking at that." The maid said. Anzu shook her head saying it doesn't matter. The maid smiled and took the small rose necklace into her hands. "She use to be a very adventurous girl. You could never keep her inside for long" the maid said in somewhat of a distant state. Anzu's curiosity got the better of her.

"What happened to this princess?"

The Maid sighed, "Ten years ago she was taken by a group of thieves and assassins. And it just so happened to be of the Pharaoh's birthday." Anzu gasped, that was about the same time she had woken up in Thief King Bakura's camp, or better known as the Arukabs. The maid shook her head and set down the rose crown, "I'll leave you to get ready for tonight. If you need my help, just ask for Halima." With that she left the room. Anzu picked up the necklace again but this time, something flashed across her mind.

~Flashback~

Anzu was in a lovely golden room with lots of people in it. She looked up at a big statue of a woman. She turned to the man next to her and tugged at his cape. "Daddy, who's that?" Little Anzu asked as she pointed at the giant sculpture. The man looked down at his daughter, age of three, and smiled warmly.

"That there, little Anzu is Isis, the Goddess of Magic and Healing." The king told his daughter. Anzu looked up at the statue again, wondering if she could ever meet this goddess called Isis. At that moment, a small girl came behind Anzu and tapped her shoulder. Anzu jumped and looked at the girl, about her age, who was know standing in front of her.

"I would like to give you this Anzu." The girl said and gave her the rose necklace. Anzu took it and looked at the girl.

"Thank you. I don't know what to say." Anzu replied in a small voice. The girl smiled and stuck out her hand.

"A promise to be friends would be fine." Anzu looked at the hand then the girl. She smiled and shook the other girls hand in agreement.

Anzu turned around to tell her father that she had made a friend, but when she looked back, the girl was gone. Although Anzu was a little sad, she was still curious on how the girl knew her name...

~End Flashback~

Anzu's head shot up after she replayed that moment. "What?! What just happened?" She asked herself aloud. Anzu looked back down at the necklace in her hand. Why had she remembered that? It seemed so familiar to her. Even though it was a pretty clear memory, some parts were still missing. Anzu shook her head and looked back out the window. It was time to get ready for tonight.

A/N: Okay, that's it for chapter 2. Hoped everyone liked it. plz review, good, bad? Tell me what you think.
