Yami V

K, enjoy

*****

When you saw Seto in the morning, you begged him to let you go. Suddenly a crash was heard and you saw Yami in front of you. He challenged Seto to a duel and won. Then Marik grabbed your neck and said to Seto, "Give me the cards, or else your pretty cousin dies." Seto and Yami both ran to save you and you saw Seto fighting Marik for the knife; Seto killed Marik, but he too got stabbed in the chest. Then he asked the two of you to follow him and led you to a catacomb. He fell to the ground exhausted and started telling you the story of your past.

You, my cousin, was said to be the key to power. You were the child of poor but happy peasants and until you were twelve, you lived in happiness. One day, the army and the pharaoh of northern Egypt (yami's father) invaded your little town. As they were going to enslave everyone in the village, you rushed to the pharaoh's side and bowed down in respect. With a powerful speech, you convinced the pharaoh to free the people, but you yourself was enslaved and given to one of the pharaoh's concubines. As time went on, the pharaoh discovered your intelligence and made you a priestess in the temple of Ra.  Although you have heard of Yami, you have never met him until the day the royal family walked into the temple on the day of your fifteenth birthday. You bowed down to them and your good friend Seto run up to you.

Seto flashed a smile at you and answered, "Silly __________, you're going to be my bride."

You gasped and told everyone how honored you were. The pharaoh told you to converse with the other children, but instead you followed a sulking Yami and asked him what was wrong.

He stared at you and answered, "Leave me alone, I don't need help from a tramp like you, why don't you just go back to my darling cousin and bat your stupid eyelashes at him."

Your cheeks flushed with anger and you yelled at him, "Fine, I'll leave you alone, if I was as affluent as you, I'd acquire some manners. Your demeanor brings ignominy to your family. I hope the gods will chastise you for your insolence." 

That night, when you were bathing in a lake (artificial lake made by the magick users,) a person stumbled across the grass and you came face to face with Yami. You glared at him and said, "Aren't you going to go away, didn't your parent tell you not to stare at people."

He smirked and answered, "Nope, I'm staying right here, and my parents told me to stare whenever I can. After all, I am the prince."

You scowled and asked, "Can't you at least turn away so I can put some clothes on?"

He laughed and asked, "You really think I want to see you naked?"

You glared and answered, "You really think I want you to see me naked? Go away before I get angry."

Yami looked at you and asked sarcastically, "What are you going to do? Scream for your precious Seto?"

You laughed and answered, "No, I'll burn you." Suddenly a ball of fire appeared on the palm of your hand and Yami's eyes widened and he whispered, "You're the destined priestess of Ra."

And so you became the priestess of Ra and three years later (when Yami matured) you were walking in your garden when a handsome man appeared in front of you. When he teased you, you started chasing his down. "Get back here you creep, I can still beat you up even with all this stupid jewelry."

"Once a vagabond, always a vagabond," he replied.

Suddenly you caught up to him and pushed him, but he caught your hand and you fell into him. Your face drew closer to his and suddenly you found yourself kissing the future King.

When you got back to the temple, the prophetess warned you to stay away from Yami because the gods forbid your love. But you didn't heed her advice and your love bloomed until one day, the country got invaded and the only way to beat the invaders was to use the cards of eternal light, but the priestess of Ra must be sacrificed to activate the cards. Yami wouldn't let you die and day-by-day, you became weary of the bloodshed. One day Yami found your lifeless body in the temple and both of your wrists were slit.

You looked at Seto and said, "But that was different, there is no threat now. I love him and I've made my decision long ago and no one can change it."

Very well my darling __________, but I shall manipulate the curse so you will not die if the cards are activated, but when the pharaoh decides to use the cards the two of you will not be able to be together and it will be a sign of false love."

His eyes fluttered softly and Seto drew his last breath. You threw yourself on him and started crying, but Yami carried you away from the dead body and whispered to you that the real Seto is still alive. As the two of you reached daylight, the ground gave away and you found yourself in Domino City.
