Me: I own nothing. This will be the last update on this story before Spring Break, since I am going to be in Europe next week! Enjoy!
After Seto had been ousted from the city under penalty of immediate execution, Yami and Tea were relieved that Sakura was no longer in any danger. However, the divine marks on her face were unusual, in fact, no royal child had ever had these marks. Yami and Tea spent many days speaking with Isis and Serenity, trying to find out their young daughter's ailment. However, no reason presented itself, so the parents relaxed and enjoyed watching her grow up.
As the four years slowly passed, little Sakura grew up. Her hair was long, black, and wavy, and her eyes were a light brown color. One particular morning, Yami, Tea and Sakura were in the throne room, when Joey ran it, with a letter. Sakura looked up from the picture she was drawing, "What's wrong, Uncle Joey?" Joey smiled at the young princess, "It's ok, Your Highness. I just need to talk to your parents." He glanced over at Yami and Tea, and they walked over to him. Yami opened the letter, while Tea held Sakura. "What's it say, daddy," Sakura asked excitedly. Yami smiled, and ruffled his daughter's hair. Upon reading it, Yami said to Tea, "Its Bandit Keith. He and 4 henchmen raided the temples, defiled them, and raped the head priestesses, as well as eating the sacrificial food." Tea shook her head, "That's awful. Has he been caught?" Sakura glanced at the letter: "Mommy, what does 'raped' mean?" Yami stared at the 5 year old, with her large eyes reflecting the innocence of childhood. He nodded, "I'll tell you later." Joey asked, "They've been captured already, but you don't want to know by whom." "Who was it," Tea asked. Joey sweatdropped," It was Priest Seto, and he demands to be let in the city, as well as that they be executed, and he insists that Sakura attend." Yami and Tea were shocked, not by Seto's request, but by the fact that Sakura was going to watch an execution. Then again, everyone in the royal family had to attend.
At high noon, the entire city filled the royal courtyard. Yami, Tea, and Sakura were sitting in the balcony. Seto entered the balcony, and watched silently. All this time, he had not repented, but had made plans for him to take over. Sakura sat on her mother's lap, "What's going to happen, mommy?" "Just watch," Yami told her.
A loud roar erupted from the crowd, as the prisoners were dragged in. Bandit Keith held his head up defiantly, while the other 4 men, who were much smaller, were scared out of their wits. Tristian and the executioner walked out to the raised platform, and addressed to crowd. "Today, here are the men who defiled our temples, and raped our priestesess. As is customary, each one them will be executed one at a time. If any of you, wish to beg for mercy (like that's going to help), do it now." Bandit Keith sneered at Yami," You think your so lucky to be ruling. Well, I've got one thing to say to you all, go to hell!" He then made an obscene gesture in Tea's direction, while Sakura, hid in her arms.
Then, the guard hooked his arms around Keith's neck. He struggled for a while, but soon he stopped, a loud crack was heard, and he went limp. Sakura cowered, and dove into Yami's arms. He held her close, and she relaxed. After three more executions had been done, the last two were to be executed differently, since they had beheaded several statues of Ra and replaced them with the heads of snakes. Because of their crimes, they were to be beheaded. A long bench was brought out, and the two remaining prisoners' heads were forced down, and then with the quick slice of a sword, the bloody heads rolled away, where some slaves disposed of them. Sakura, who was still scared, opened her eyes, "Is it over?" Yami nodded, "It's over, Sakura." The little girl let out a sigh of relief, when she noticed Seto. Letting out a small squeak, she darted back to her parents, and asked, "Who're you?" The man nodded, "I am Priest Seto, Your Highness." Yami nodded, "Thanks for capturing them. We will have a banquet in your honor." With that, they left for the palace.
Later on, Sakura was talking to Yami and Tea before the banquet. "I don't like him, Mommy and Daddy. He's kinda weird, like a snake." Tea smiled, "Some people are like that, but he's a friend of ours, and you can trust him." Sakura did not seem convinced, and Yami, who had overheard everything, agreed. After all, Seto had tried to kill her as an infant, and who knew what he could do now! But, there was no evidence that Seto was a traitor, so for tonight at least, they would trust him.
At the banquet, there was an endless stream of food and drink, as well as entertainment. Seto seemed to enjoy himself, but Sakura watched him, wondering if he was going to do something bad. Later that night, after she had been tucked in, Sakura thought to herself, "There is something weird about Seto, and I don't care what Mommy says, I'm gonna find out!" With that satisfying thought, she rolled over and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Yami and Tea were talking about what Sakura had said earlier. "I don't trust him either, Yami, but he did bring in those criminals," Tea remarked. Yami nodded, "Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens." With that, he kissed Tea sweetly, and as snuggled in his arms, they both fell asleep.
