(Skip me if my rant's annoying and you want to get to the story quick)
For those of you who like this story for some strange reason, thanks for all of the lovely reviews! This chapter is mainly to introduce more characters into this story and hardly has any humour in it. Not many characters passed the acceptable test, I'm going to add Kaiba and Isis in.
A little bird told me that Kaiba's Priest name was Seth, is it? Oh well, who cares if it isn't, he's going to be called Seth anyway, stuff the little bird! (Shoots random bird) Also, congrats to Kagome0102 and Kimmy Nagasaki: Queen of Games (No you're not, my Yami is! kidding), you two both got characters in, oh, and of course Linde.
Kimmy Nagasaki: Queen of Games , you didn't get Kami in because Yami's got too many sisters already. ^^ I'll give him a break in this fic.
Oh, and MARIAH YOU IDIOT! JOEY WASN'T EVEN BORN BACK THEN, BE SERIOUS WHOULDYA?! Damnit. You are never going to make it into this fic. And if you wanna know what the stupid quiz I took was (Mariah, I won't even think of telling you again) you can take it at quizilla.com. But if you're too lazy, here's a link
Kinda long, oh well. Oh, and whoever sent me that email (Kimmy wasn't it?), Please unblock me, my emails won't go through. ^^U And if you do take the quiz, please, it's stupid, don't be like Mariah, it doesn't work right? RIGHT?!
Oops, this is too long, on with the story!
Oh, and btw Shifting Waters, yeah I know Linde. She's going into this story too. Also, read the rants next time. And the category. I'm a humour fanfictionist, I can't help it, this was meant to be serious though.

Chapter 2 - FRIENDS IN THE FIGHT
Everyone watched in silence as the young Queen ran away. After a small while most of the audience was over the unexpected slap and the people scattered, knowing the wedding was over. Maids came to attend to the shocked pharaoh and in the midst of the chaos the maid-of-honour slipped through the crowd and followed her new Queen into the hallway.
The young girl looked about Krystal's age, perhaps a little younger. As she ran after Krystal she made her way through the palace, she made each turn swiftly and carefully, obviously knowing the place extremely well. She dressed the white dress of rich Egyptian girls and carried a large broadsword at her belt, showing her warrior status. Her long black hair, streaked with gold, flew out behind her; bright greyish green eyes alight with mischief. She swung into a large, royal room where she found Krystal sitting on her bed, her head in her hands so you couldn't tell whether she was crying or not. The girl bobbed a mock curtsy, "Greetings Queen Krystal." "Go away Linde," Krystal turned away, "I'm not in the mood right now." The girl called Linde looked sympathetically at her Queen and gave a sad smile. "I know how you feel, and I guess I will forgive you for hitting my best friend since I've done the same once before." She said gently. Krystal's reaction was exactly as that of Linde's prediction. She turned around, fuming. " I don't need your forgiveness for slapping that freak!" she shouted, "and as for knowing how I feel, marry someone before even thinking of saying you know how I feel!" She raised her arm and smashed it into the wall in anger. Linde stared slightly shocked as she saw small cracks creep away from the place of impact.
(A/N: I think Ancient Egyptian walls were made of plaster, aren't they? Oh well, a little bit of exaggeration here)
She noticed a small red trickle on the wall - blood. The hit was to take it out on herself more than anything. Linde walked over to Krystal and sat down on the bed next to her. "Don't worry. It'll all pull over." She said gently. Krystal cast a sharp side glance at her, warning her no to get any closer. "And how will you know? What do you know?" Linde pulled her close and gave her a sympathetic hug. "Because I will alwways be here for you" Krystal tried to pull away for a few seconds but soon gave in. She put her face in her hands and wept. The blood and tears streamed down her forearms as one, running into each other. Linde gave a gentle smile and hugged her harder, this time Krystal hugged back. "Don't go, please don't go." She whispered, amidst her tears. "I won't," Linde whispered back. "I promise I won't"
Meanwhile, outside they seemed to have gained an audience. A priestess stood outside. She had heard everything. Arouna leaned against the door, Linde was almost never compassionate, this was a sudden change in personality. Linde, playful, cruel, cold and sly. She rarely got close to anybody, even though they were enemies, Arouna knew this much. Suddenly she gave a cruel smile, now she had something big to tease Linde about, she had complete control. Arouna stumbled backwards as the door suddenly opened. Linde stared at her enemy as she tried to regain her balance. Her eyes, wide in surprise in that brief moment when they met now glinted with malice. "How much did you hear?!" Arouna gave a wicked smile. "Enough to know that if word spread of what you have done, your reputation throughout the palace would fall several notches." Unexpectedly, Linde's wide eyes narrowed, not in confusion, but in her usual way, sarcasm. "Really now? What reputation, mine? Are you sure it's my reputation you're ruining or yours?" Arouna frowned. "What are you talking about?" Linde stared, taking in Arouna's suspicion. "Why, who would the pharaoh himself believe? Me. Who would everyone else in this palace believe? Him. Besides, you wouldn't dare." Arouna stopped for a bit, she hated to admit it but she was right. "And what makes you think I wouldn't?" "Well, for starters, I don't really care whether you tell or not. It's just that someone in the palace is sneaking around listening to other's private conversations. Secondly, if you do, which I know you would judging by you tone, you'd expect me to hide from embarrassment? Shame perhaps? Pe-lease, if anyone would be leaving in shame, it is you." "And why would I be leaving?" The warrior gave the priestess the well-known rolling of the eyes. "Obviously, you would be leaving because after I've had my say, you'll wish you never opened that gossipy mouth of yours." She gave a mock laugh, her eyes darted behind her. "And in near future, if you ever get the urge to repay me for this nice little chat, be more careful. I can hear footsteps a mile away." Defeat, sweet defeat. Arouna glared all her hatred towards the Pharaoh's 'pet'. How she brushed off the incident so flourishly, making her feel the victim instead of Linde.
"Is everything ok?" Asked a gentle voice from behind them. Arouna and Linde whipped around to see another young priestess. "Ryku, what are you doing here?" Linde snapped. The priestess called Ryku peered at the closed door. "Nothing, I just heard a loud bang coming from somewhere near here, that's all." Linde and Arouna looked at each other. "It was that loud?" "Yes, I bet the Pharaoh himself would come to see what's wrong." She replied. Linde felt amused, Krystal won't like that now.
Inside the closed door Krystal had stopped crying and was now wondering whether this marriage was as bad as she thought it was. There was a new beginning here. She had always wanted to move out. Start a new life. At home she hardly had any freedom, life was done according to everything her parents said and believed in. Independence was a dream away. She had made such a big deal about the marriage, but it wasn't as bad as she tried to make it sound. She had visited the palace before, and she had met Yami. Back then he was nothing than a young prince that was to be respected. Now it was a completely different story. But she could learn to like him. He didn't seem so bad at first, not for a pharaoh who had all that he desired for his whole life. Krystal knew that she had acted really spoilt and selfish inside the palace. She couldn't help it. It was a subconscious reaction she had when in a place she didn't know about. It took a while to bring the softer side out. It must be just a reaction to fear. Fearing to know what's inside, fearing others to know the real her. But with all the other people in the palace, life might be able to lift up a bit, and then, well, maybe then she'd try to get along with Yami, he was the pharaoh after all. Krystal shook herself, what was she thinking. She wasn't about to give in to someone just because he was royalty. Nope, if he wanted her, he would have to come get her. She looked up as someone knocked on her door. "Yes?" she asked. Linde poked her head in, "The pharaoh's here, care to come out and greet him? You don't have ta. I'll cover up for you." Krystal heaved a sigh. "I'll go" she got up and held her bleeding hand behind her back. Bring it on pharaoh, she thought, try and get me.

Hehe, that chapter was slightly longer than the others but I know, it took ages and it's short. I don't get it, my humour stories are too long and my serious stories are too short. I need to even them out. But then I take ages to update. (As you can see) so either it's long chappies and, well, per year updates or short chapters like this and update per several months. You choose. *Shrug* Anyway, I know this chapter sucked, but it's the building block to a nice, in-depth story. The introduction of the many palace characters. ^^U Hope those people who like my weird lame sense of humour, cause I'm gonna rotate between this story and my YGO humour story. Read it when it comes out. (Before the 3rd chapter does) Oh, and review and take the quiz!
PS. Linde did the conversation between her and Arouna so please, any comments about that is comments to her. Cause I didn't do it =D
