Me: Hi! I am really sorry, but I am finally updating this story!!! It will be completed by Monday afternoon, so stay tuned! Also, because of the amount of violence in the rest of the story, I am raising the rating to PG- 13! Enjoy!
A year had passed since the birth of the Princess Sakura. Yami and Tea were proud of their little daughter, and everything seemed to be going well, until one morning. Yami was out with Joey and Tristian, looking for the idiot who had vandalized on of the holy shrines, because whoever it was, had left behind an Etruscan gauntlet. Tea was with Serenity and Mai, eating breakfast, while Sakura was sleeping in her gilded cradle, until she woke up and started crying loudly. Tea, who was walking back into the main bedroom, scoped up her baby daughter. "Mama," Sakura cooed happily, as her mother rocked her in her arms. Tea looked at her daughter, and shrieked! There were 3 blue tear shaped tattoos on Sakura's face. Maybe this was a sign form the gods that Sakura was destined for greatness. She smiled at her cooing little one, and they walked off to the throne to wait for what Yami had to say.
Meanwhile, the guys were at the shrine, looking for clues. At least, Yami and Tristian were looking for clues, while Joey was looking at the sacrificial food so he could eat it all. Yami picked up the gauntlet, "Who do you think left this?" "I don't know. It's leather, and it's Etruscan. But it looks cheap, so it was probably a commoner or someone who wanted his 15 minutes of fame. Hey, there's a name written on it. Bandit Keith," Tristian exclaimed! Bandit Keith was a low down gambler, who usually made trouble with the locals, but he had never done anything like this before. He handed it to Yami, who looked at it, and concluded that Keith had been drunk while doing the crime, since it reeked of stale alcohol! Both men nodded, they needed to find Keith before he did anything else stupid! Now where was Joey? They found him pigging out on some roast lamb that had been marinated with honey! Yami sweatdropped, and Tristian yelled, "You moron, that was for the gods!" Joey groaned, "Now you tell me. I thought the food was for guests." Yami groaned, "Let's go." Tristian followed, dragging Joey, who was still eating.
They all finally found Keith, at an outside casino, where his was playing backgammon for money! Keith looked up at the three men, "So, what does the royal palace want with me today?" Joey grabbed him roughly by his shirt collar, "You defiled a shrine, you jerk!" Keith smiled, "So what if I did? I did it so I could change my luck. It just so happens that some guys owe me some money-" "Sure, they do," Tristian replied sarcastically, "Your going in the dungeon until the courts decide what to do with you." Keith nearly got away, until Joey and Tristian caught him, and they all went back to the palace.
Of course, Yami decided to check on Sakura and Tea. He stepped into the throne room, and greeted his with a kiss. "Papa," cooed Sakura, and Yami cuddled her for a moment, before looking at her small face, and he gave a look at Tea. "I'm sure they're a sign from the gods." Yami nodded, "We should see Isis to make sure."
As soon as they reached Isis's room, she greeted the royal couple and she scoped up Sakura in her arms. "I sense your worry about Sakura," she replied as Sakura tugged at her Millennium Tauk. It glowed, and Isis saw a glimpse of the future. An older Sakura who appeared to be about 9 or 10 years old was playing in the shadow games, and she won against a shadowy opponent. The Tauk stopped glowing, and she smiled. Isis handed the toddler back to her parents and said, "You are right, Queen Tea. The Tauk showed me that Sakura will become very powerful as she grows older." Tea blushed, and Yami thanked her. On the way back to the throne room, Tea asked Yami, "What do you think Isis saw in the future?" He smiled, "I'm not sure, but it was fate that gave our daughter these marks. It's destiny's fate that she will become powerful." Tea leaned over and kissed him tenderly, as they headed for the throne room.
Unfortunately for all them, the jealous and corrupt High Priest Seto Kaiba had overheard everything! He was angered that the young princess was to become powerful, like her father, and that destiny had marked her as a sacred child. The two things he obsessed in life over were the lovely Priestess Serenity and taking over the world. He figured that the only way to get revenge on the Pharaoh and his wife was to kill their child, murder the queen, defeat the king and banish him to the Shadow Realm, and then he could take over! Of course this would take some planning, so he went off to think, and soon he had the prefect plan!
Later that afternoon, Yami was at one of the courts with Joey and Tristian while Bandit Keith was on trial. Of course, Kaiba was now putting his plan into action. He watched as Serenity, who was babysitting Sakura fell asleep, since he had put a sleeping potion in her tea! Sakura was playing with some wooden blocks, when Kaiba firmly picked her up, and walked off towards his temple.
Sakura began to cry loudly, and Kaiba scolded her, "Shush!" He took her to a table where several of his magicians were waiting. He smiled as they chanted, and as Sakura started crying harder, he pulled out a bloody sword. He prayed and the ceremony began.
Meanwhile, Tea was back from doing some shopping, when to her horror, she walked in to her bedroom, and Serenity was sleeping, and Sakura was gone! Tears welled in her eyes as she yelled, "Sakura!" The young girl woke up, and begged, "Forgive me, Your Highness. I was watching the princess as you asked, but Seto offered me a drink, and then I fell asleep." Tea turned white, "Seto took Sakura? Oh no!" She ran out, to find Yami!
The court had found Keith guilty of vandalism of a holy site, and was sentenced to 5 years hard labor on a slave galley, and Yami was surprised to a flustered Tea waiting for him! Telling him what had happened, Yami was worried. He assured they would find Sakura, and he told Tristian and Joey to find some more guards and ambush Kaiba's temple, but they had to hurry!
Kaiba was just raising the dagger above Sakura's small belly, when he smiled coldly, "Hopefully, the Shadow Realm is such a place for you, Princess Sakura. This is the end-" when Yami restrained him, and Tea scoped up her daughter, and held her close. Joey and Tristian grabbed Kaiba, who was angry. "I demand you let me go! She is cursed with those marks of the demons." Yami glared at him, "You are herby banished from Egypt for 4 years, Kaiba, for trying to murder my daughter!" Joey and Tristian led him away, as Yami embraced his crying wife and daughter.
Later that night, after dinner, Tea and Yami went right to bed, with Sakura tucked in Tea's safe hold. Meanwhile, from far away, Kaiba stared at the palace in the distance, and said to himself, "You haven't seen the last of me, Pharaoh Yami. One day, I will have my revenge. Just you wait." With that, he galloped of on horseback into the night!
