YSK-It better be longer then the last one.

SK-Me too

YSK-You're the writer though.

SK-I know, but I always get writers block half way through, then I get stuck, then I know what to write later.

YSK-Your soooo pathetic.

SK-I know

YSK-That was an insult.

SK-Oh, MEANIE!

YSK-Dumb-nut.

SK-Shut up.

YSK-Why?

SK-Cause your annoying.

YSK-Oh

SK-Anyway, I'm sorry about all the periods everywhere in the last chapter, I meant to put dot dot dot, but they turned into periods when I posted it. And, thank you Starheart, and dancingdiva for pointing out that board should have been bored. I wasn't really paying attention to that at the time, sorry ^__^;

YSK-whatever you say

SK-Shut up before I bring out the mallet.

YSK-Yes ma'am

SK-Good. DISCLAIMER!

Yami-ShadowKat doesn't own YuGiOh, thank Ra.

SK-Cause Yugi did the disclaimer for MMS.

YSK-But Ryou did the disclaimer for the last chapter.

Yugi-Oh yeah

SK-Uh-huh, anyway, ON WITH THE FIC!
Light In The Shadows
Chapter 2
I cough, as I went, sand blew everywhere. I shielded my face with a hand. "A sandstorm must be a few miles off" I commented to myself.

I stumbled in the sand, causing me to land face first in the sand. I rose my head, to hear a voice shouting something. (*Okay peps, I'll be using O/C's of mine and my friends here, don't get confuzzled please!* -I don't own Suoh or Orchid, my friends do-)

I slowly stood up, brushing sand from my clothes, and hair. That's when I noticed that I was wearing pharaoh attire. I gasp, causing me to inhale sand, and start coughing.

"PHARAOH! PHARAOH!ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" I heard. I looked up and saw a girl, my age, riding atop a beautiful white horse. She was wearing clothes that made her look like a warrior, or someone in the Egyptian military. She has long brown hair, pulled back in a ponytail. Her bangs framed her face, and the left side of them were a deep royal blue.

"Sire, are you alright?" She asked, holding out a hand. I took it, and nodded, as she pulled me up, onto the back of the horse.

We rode for about 15 minutes, before we came into the city of Giza. Even then, she didn't stop her horse. We continued riding for about another half hour, then slowed to a trot as we entered the city of Cairo.

"Where are we going?" I asked, leaning forward.

"To the palace, where you can get cleaned up, and change." She said, keeping a steady pace with the horse. I leaned back, and examined the city. The buildings were made of a soft stone, adorned with beautiful paintings of flowers, and animals. I looked farther into the distance, and saw where the workers, and farmers lived. The buildings there were made of a rough stone, cut hastily, and not at all decorated, except for the rare statue, or painting. Cats ran everywhere, and children worked, or played in the streets. The woman who sat in front of me seemed to take no notice of any of these things, and continued riding.

We came upon a beautiful palace, made of limestone, alabaster, and gold. It was painted with all sorts of exotic, and wondrous colours. The woman slowed the horse, and got off as we came to the main stairway. She helped me down, and started up the stairs. I followed closely.

We stopped only once, when she mumbled something to a guard, and he quickly shuffled away, down another hallway.

A few minutes passed as we walked down the vast hallways, then we came up to a magnificently decorated wooden door. She stepped to one side, as I went in. She closed the door after I went in, and shut it, staying outside.

I shrugged, and looked around. The room was adorned with white linen, gold, silver, you name any rare beautiful thing, and it was there. A slave came in from the hallway, and ushered me into the bathroom, connected to my chambers. The bath was made of granite, and decorated very little. She poured many buckets of water into the tub, and left, leaving a towel, and a fresh change of clothes.

I looked around, and found some soap. I tossed it into the tub, and soon followed, after taking off my soiled, sandy clothes.

About 25 minutes later, I got out of the bath, and rapped my towel around myself. I quickly dried off, and got dressed. I found that my puzzle was not there. I looked around, trying to find it.

I gave up after about 20 minutes of trying to find it. I left the bathroom, and went into my chambers. I once again took 20 minutes to look for the puzzle, but to no avail. I grumbled in frustration.

I went to the table beside my bed, and put on all of the bangles, and charms that lay on it. Well, as many as I needed to put on, anyway. I started towards the door, to wander the hallways of the palace, when it opened, and a girl walked in. She, too, was my age. She had long blonde hair, which was next to impossible in Egypt, and she wore the clothes a queen would. She smiled, and flung her arms around my neck.

"Yami! I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried about you!" she said. I blinked.

"You were?" I asked. She let go of me, and took a step back.

"Why wouldn't I be?" She asked, looking as though I had just insulted her.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it that way." I said, trying to get things back on track.

"ORCHID!" I heard from the hallway.

"What?" the girl asked.

"DID YOU SET UP THE BLACK PAINT TO DUMP ON ME WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR?!?!"

"uh-oh" She said with a grin. She giggled, and ran out of the room, and down the hallway, away from the angry voice.

"ORCHID!" I heard the person scream. I walked out into the hallway to find the girl who had saved me from the dessert, drenched in black paint. She looked about ready to kill.

"THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW!!" She screamed, as she started running down the hall. She stopped short when she saw me. "Pharaoh Yami!" She exclaimed.

I nodded. "Are you feeling better?" She asked, wiping some paint from her hair before it dried.

"Yes. Thank you for saving me." I said with a smile. She stopped, and looked a bit surprised.

"Y-your welcome." She said.

"What's the matter?" I asked, taking a step forward.

"You haven't smiled at me since we were little." She said. This time it was my turn to be shocked. She stepped back, and ran into her room, shutting the door behind her.

I couldn't believe that. She had been my friend since we were little, yet I had never smiled at her since then. Not only that, but I couldn't even remember her name.

SK-Longer, but still too short.

YSK-I agree.

Yami-You make me sound so mean.

SK-So?

Yami-I'm not.

SK-How do you know that?

Yami-um

SK-Exactly.

YSK-HA! You got told!

Yami-Shut up.

YSK-Why should I?

Yami-Because I know where ShadowKat keeps the mallet.

YSK-How come everyone but me knows where that thing is?!

SK-Cause that would ruin the fun.

YSK-hmph

SK-Anyway, please R+R!!! It is greatly appreciated!!!

YSK-Mostly because you're hoping to get ideas, so you don't have to write this all by yourself.

SK-THAT'S IT! *takes out mallet, and whacks Yami ShadowKat in the head*

YSK-mommy X_x

SK-Much better. -^_____^-
