Chris looked like she wanted to kill Jou right away, and Elle and I sweatdropped. She started walking from one side to the other, hoping to calm down. However... it wasn't working.
"Elle, Yugi, when I see your friend Jounouchi again..." she gritted her teeth. "... do your best to keep him away from me. Or I might hurt him... badly."
"Huh... we'll keep that in mind, Chris." Elle said, and I nodded.
Chris in a bad mood wasn't a good thing.
"Elle, I think you should stay with the Pharaoh." I said, and she looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "I don't think he wants his slave away from him..."
"Yeah, go ahead Yugi, keep reminding me I got stuck with the mean, cold and bad Pharaoh, ready to grant his selfish needs." Elle frowned, and I shook my head. Why did she have to talk about him like that?
"I'm going, before that stupid High Priest decides to come after me." Chris said, and left the room. Elle sighed and left too, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
I just hoped Elle wouldn't do anything stupid, since she was kind of... stubborn. I mean, she didn't like being ordered around... and we couldn't forget she was the Pharaoh's slave.
And if she did something wrong, I was afraid of what could happen to her...
~^:^:^:^:~ Seto's POV
Yami was really mad at me. Hmm... I thought the almighty Pharaoh could handle a meeting with no problems? Looked like I was wrong, because he threatened me that if I ever let him alone with the Old Crap (his advisors) I'd be beheaded before I could say "Ra has mercy".
When I finally walked out of Yami's chambers, my head hurt, I was completely frustrated and I needed a bath to take all the stress out. Walking past the first corner, Yami's sister walked into my sight. Seeing me, she walked towards my figure.
"Seto..." She stopped in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. "So, what did Yami want to talk to you?"
"Annoy my skull with his complaints about his advisors." I sighed. "Why doesn't him replace the stupid crowd anyway?" Ellian shrugged, but then her face become thoughtful. "Something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong..." she looked into my eyes, and I noticed some strange glow in them. "It's just... do you remember when Yami, you and me sneaked out of the palace? Then we-"
"You're not trying to tell me...?" I asked, blinking.
"Yes. That strange man's words." She finished, and I closed my eyes, regarding the man's words...
*Flashback - Ra's POV*
The Pharaoh, his sister and High Priest walked through the streets of Egypt, wearing commoners clothes. Aside from Seto, neither of the two brothers had permission to come out of the palace, so when there wasn't much duties calling for them, and when they had a chance, they skipped out of the royal walls, into their land's warm sand.
Yami liked his country, that he couldn't deny. It was his after all.... The hot sun barely disturbed him, and he liked how the children played happily with each other, even though their situation wasn't the best. Yami could see his country's flaws, and that could even help his choices, if his stupid council let him rule, of course.
Almost smiling at some kids running, playing carelessly around, they walked into the market square. Many people tried to sell their items, some even with golden pieces to sell. Yami did not know how they managed to get those, but if he found any signs that those were stolen...
"Good day, sirs, my lady." A voice to their right said, and they all turned to see who had spoken. There was a man, sitting on a very dark corner, face hidden by a hood. In front of him, there was a table, with a crystal ball (A/N: *gets hit by a table* @__@ Whaaaaaaat?? Can't I?).
"Huh... hello." Ellian said in an uncharacteristic high voice, since she couldn't be recognized at all, and some knew her voice.
"Don't you wish to know more about your future?" he asked, and Seto rolled his eyes.
"Thank you very much." Seto said. He knew it was needed high magic to see someone's future, and he doubted even he could do such thing. It wasn't impossible though...
"Wait." Ellian said, approaching the man. Seto cursed Ellian's curiosity under his breath. "You can really see our future?" she asked, and the man nodded. She smiled. "Tell me something about mine then."
The man encircled the crystal ball with his hands, while Yami looked bored and Seto rolled his eyes. Suddenly, a bright light emerged from the ball, almost blinding Ellian, who was really near it. Second later, they almost caught the man's smile.
"You're not getting what you always dreams about... no matter how hard you try it. Looks like... your future is a very dark one." He said, and Ellian's smile vanished from her face. She took a step backwards, and her hood covered the rest of her face.
Yami, noticing his sister's suddenly change of mood, walked up to the man. Carefully not to let his voice be demanding, or being one that could blow up his secret, he looked down at the man, and spoke to him, eyes almost shown.
"Tell me about mine." He asked, and Seto raised one eyebrow in surprise. Smiling wider, the man did the same thing, and the ball shone again. Looking up at his hidden ruler, Yami noticed the man's dark purple eyes, glowing with a strange bliss...
"An Angel of Light, sent by Ra himself, shall bright your shadowed future, changing drastically all of your life. You'll find yourself trapped... into emotions never once experienced, and feelings never once shown. You'll change. Everything will." He said, and Yami didn't even blink. What was he saying...?
"Time to go." Seto said, and he and Ellian began to walk away. Taking a last look at the smiling man, he still saw the glow in the lavender eyes.
"Have a nice day... your highness." The man said, and Yami's eyes widened. Walking away quickly, he approached his friends, and they walked back to the palace.
Neither of them noticed the golden light coming from the man's cloak, the Eye of Horus never lying.
*End of Flashback and Ra's POV*
"You think it's true?" I asked, thinking she couldn't real mean it. The man was strange, a fake probably. There was no way...
"Think about it, Seto. You said that your slave used some kind of 'magic'... she knows the other two... Yami's been acting strange since..." she stopped, since I wasn't listening anymore. My eyes were closed, thinking hard. She could be right... there was a high probability that...
"I don't know. We'll have to wait and see." I said, and walked away, heading towards my chambers. Ellian stood there, watching me leave, her glance in truth lost. I still did not know why the man's words about her future made her act like that...
Walking into my chambers, I saw my slave there, looking through the window. Hmm... seeing her with the new clothes made me remember about the ones she was wearing earlier...
Ellian really did mess with my mind reminding me about that day. Damn her.
"Slave, prepare my bath for me." I said, and she jumped. She glared fiercely at me, obviously not liking being taken by surprise, but I simply ignored that. "Now." I continued in a more demanding voice. She sighed, and continued to glare.
"Yes, High Priest." She said in a dark voice, and walked away. I heard she mumbling an "I hate you..." before walking away, and I smirked. Oh great, that really made my day.
~^:^:^:^:~ Yami's POV
Ra had hidden himself by the time I walked back in my chambers, after having my little "chat" with Seto, and taking care of some stupid Pharaoh's business. Looking around for my slave, I saw her looking through some kind of cards...
"Slave." I called, and she jumped in her spot. I smirked, seeing that she even dropped her cards. Jumpy girl... strange girl may I say. I still couldn't take from my mind the fact that she wore some strange clothes... and that she almost didn't attend to my demand earlier.
"What is it, Pharaoh?" she asked, her voice sounding mockingly when she mentioned my title. Oh joy, an annoying slave...
"I want you to prepare my bath for me, pick my clothes, and later bring me my dinner, since I have no intention of getting out of this room." I said, and she raised her eyebrow.
"One: you can pretty much prepare your bath yourself, it's not like it's difficult! Two: pick your own clothes, you're the one who's gonna wear them anyway... And three: geez, just go down there and suit yourself, Highness." She said, and I clenched my fist in anger.
"Are you disobeying me, slave?" I asked through gritted teeth, and she shrugged.
"No, I'm just telling you to suit yourself, and be happy." She said, blinking "sweetly" and smiling "brightly".
'Note to self: kill her.'
'What about Yugi?' another voice asked in my mind, and I blinked mentally.
'What...'
'They're friends, he'd be sad if you hurt his friend...'
"Do it now slave, or else I'll have you beheaded before you can even blink." I replied, and she shivered.
"Okay, okaaaay... My Pharaoh, I shall get you your food, but you do everything else!" she said, and stormed out of the room before I could disagree. Someone had a bad attitude for its own good...
'Yuuuuuuugiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... Don't forget about hiiiiiiiiim...' the voice sang in my head, and I growled.
"Fine, just shut up. It's not like he's important to me or anything..." I told the voice in a whisper, then realized it was not a very good sign to talk with myself...
Hell, Yugi was sure messing with my mind.
~^:^:^:^:~ Yugi's POV
It was really late, and Ellian had just walked out of her bathing chambers. She smiled at me, that was sitting by the window.
"Have you eaten something already, Yugi?" she asked, and I nodded. Sure I had, just some minutes ago, along with a very pissed off Elle, and a fuming Chris... what was with their moods anyway? (A/N: ^^;; sweet innocent Yugi doesn't know he was the lucky one)
"Then come on, it's late." She said as she climbed her bed, and I blinked. Where was I going to... "Yugi?" she asked, and I looked at her. She patted the spot on her bed just beside her, and I blinked again.
"E-Ellian... you mean..." I asked her, blushing. I did think I'd have to sleep in the same bed as her...
"Come on Yugi, you wouldn't rather want to sleep on the floor, would you?" she asked with a giggle, and I walked silently towards the bed, sitting timidly beside her. She smiled down at me with a motherly-like grace. I smiled back.
"Ellian..." I asked before we went to sleep.
"Yes?" she replied, looking down at me, who laid against a pillow.
"Yami... I've.... heard he's really mean... is he really....?" I tried to talk, but couldn't really form my words properly. Ellian smiled down at me, and I couldn't figure out the glow in her eyes.
"A icy barrier is formed around his heart, Yugi, and he doesn't know the meaning of many feelings." Her smile widened. "Maybe an angel can teach him how to feel."
I blinked, as she laid down, giving me a "Good night". I didn't understand much of what she said... did she mean Yami's not what he seems, but doesn't know his real self?
Maybe he'll be able to see him through my eyes someday... someone who can care about one, warmly and sweetly, letting it completely through his eyes, that could smile and feel real emotions.... like friendship.... and love...
*The next morning*
Ellian and I were widely awake, and Ellian was just about to walk out of her room when Yami entered, in all his grace, through the royal doors, pushing Elle inside, looking rather annoyed.
"I'll trade my slave with you, my sister." He said, and my eyes widened, as he looked directly at me. "Yugi, you shall now become my personal slave."
