Forbidden Passions
Chapter 2
By: Gen-chan
The market place was almost overflowing with people. Men and women, servants and slaves, from all over the land were here for the largest ceremony to take place in years.
The crowning of the Pharaoh.
Today the crown prince Bakura, son of the former pharaoh, would become a God on earth. He would descend all those around him and rule over his kingdom bringing prosperity and fortune to his people. Or, so they hoped that he would bring the Gods to grace their homes and farms. So, as is tradition, magnificent gifts must be bestowed upon the new Pharaoh in the upcoming ceremony to ensure their loyalty to the high throne.
And through-out all of this: Bakura slept.

Bakura's POV
@@@@
""Big Brother!!" Squealed (yes squealed) a _very_ high pitched voice into my face. My previously sleeping face that is.
"Big Brother you must get up! High Priest Seth is waiting outside your door and he's starting to get scary!"
Oh I so do not want to deal with this right now. I need a game plan. Step one: Roll over…
"Eep!" a thud over at the side of my bed told me step one was complete.
"Big Brother! That hurt you meany!"
Step two: Ignore.
"Why'd you do that? Huh?" By Ra how can he have this much energy this early in the morning. It's not possible! "Are you listening to me Big Brother? You need to get up! Bakura!"
Step two is complete…though now I think he's getting cranky.
Step three: Do whatever it is that he wants.
By the Gods, there are only a few things in this world that can truly scare me, and a cranky Ryou is pretty high up on that list. Slowly and with as many curse words as I can remember this early in the morning I sit up and slide my silk covers back. It might just be because I grew up with it everywhere, but I really love silk. I'm a tad (alright alright a bit more than a tad) picky when it comes to clothes and such, if it's not silk, it's not touching me. Simple as that.
I can feel Ryou's eyes on my back the entire time I dress into my (silk) robes and jewelry. As soon as I sit down on the cushioned stool before my dresser four slaves enter my room, via Ryou. In my opinion this is the worst part about being royalty.
It's all the damn make-up. It takes forever to put on, it feels funny and it makes me look like a girl! I mean, who wants a Pharaoh who looks like a girl for Ra's sake! Though from the look on Ryou's face I can tell he wishes he were in my place right now. I swear to the Gods, I just can't see what that boy likes so much about all this make-up.
A pounding on the door wakes me from my little daze. It would seem that the slaves are done and I look…
…like a freaking girl…how predictable.
@@@@
Seth's (Seto) POV
@@@
That's it, I've been waiting out here for Ra knows how long and that arrogant little Brat still has yet to emerge. Though the small prince must have done something to get him awake since the thuds and shouts could mean no other thing.
I begin to pound relentlessly on the crown prince's, and soon to be Pharaoh's (Ra help us all), door.
"My Prince, you must hurry up or you will be late for your crowning ceremony."
Sighing, I put my hand back down to its usual position at my side. He better be out here soon or else I—
"So sorry I was late Seto, I hope you were not waiting to long." The silver haired prince said with a sneer. He really pisses me off that one.
"I don't know if you remember my Prince" I grate out. "But my name is Seth, _not_ Seto."
The little imp has the nerve to glare at me over his shoulder while doing something with his hair.
"I don't know if _you_ remember but in a few minutes _I'm_ going to be your new Pharaoh and your name will be whatever I feel like calling you, got it?"
Breathe Seth, just breathe. Don't let him get to you, don't let the little imp, whom I'm going to beat, strangle and kill--- no. No, I will not let him get to me.
"Come along Seto, your holding us up."
How dare him! How dare he treat me with such disrespect! Prince or no prince, Pharaoh or not, this boy will not get the best of me! In fact…I think I may have the perfect present for my dear Pharaoh, oh yes I'm sure he will just get a kick out of this one.
"You go ahead Majesty. I have something I must do first I shall not be long."
"Fine whatever. Come along Ryou."
"Yes Big Brother."
I can feel the wheels turning in my head as I walk quickly (not run, never run) to my study pulling out paper and quill while calling for a messenger. By the time the boy gets here my letter is finished and sealed with my personal emblem.
"Here." I handed him the paper. "Take this as fast as you can to the Pharaoh of the lower lands. No one is to read this but Pharaoh Yami himself understood?"
With a nod the small slave boy was out of here in a flash. By Ra that boy can run.
Now, I must go perform that spoiled brats ceremony. I sigh as I get up, by Ra, this is going to be a long day.
