Yami: Yo, Ash (Me) isn't here right now to introduce the story right now, so I'm taking over her spot. This is chapter three of my past.
Yugi: But..
Yami: SHUT UP!!
Yugi: Okay.
Yami: Anyways, like I was saying, chapter three and I am the best pharaoh there ever was and I RULE!!
Yugi: But..
Yami: SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
Yugi: .
Me: (comes running with rope around waste)
Yami: (screams like a girl)
Me: If you ever tie me up and lock me in your tomb..
Yami: I know! So, am I fired?
Me: No, but if you ever..
Yami: OKAY!! OKAY!!! I'M SORRY!!!
Me: This is chapter three and Yami is NOT the best.
~*~
Yami started to run. The high pitched scream rang through his ears. Fear swept over him.
What was it?
The only question that he needed to ask.
He stopped. He put his hand to his chest and panted.
Sweat poured down his face. He looked up and saw a child, no, two children. They looked up at Yami and laughed until tears formed in the corner of their eyes.
"Kids!" stormed Yami.
The children stopped laughing. They frowned.
"Uncle Yami, we thought you would laugh, too." The girl hugged Yami. She was only up to his waste. She had blonde hair with red streaks in her hair. She also had shimmering violet eyes and wore old rags. Old, but still comfortable.
"Lashiza." Sighed Yami as he put his hands around the girl's face.
"Please Uncle Yami. Do not anger." The boy hugged Yami, too. He was just like Yami. He had black and red hair with gold bangs and deep violet eyes.
"Ahh, Yugi, do not worry, I was just worried.." Yami sighed.
"What is it Uncle Yami?" asked Lashiza.
"Nothing of your concern," said Yami, smiling at them.
"Where is Aunt Lauretta?" asked Yugi.
Yami blushed. "Kids, do not talk nonsense. Lauretta is not your aunt."
"But Uncle Yami!" Lashiza wined. "You said Aunt Lauretta and you would climb into a bed and do something only adults do and then you be come married."
Yami's face turned red. "Kids!! How could you remember that? And that's not how adults become married in Egypt."
The kids looked interested. "Please tell us Uncle Yami!" they screamed and shouted, jumping up and down.
Yami closed his eyes. He sighed, and then smiled. "Okay."
They all settled down and sat down under Yami's tree. The kids sat in his lap.
"It all started more than 300 years ago.."
~Flashback~
What a dark day, thought Armani. She looked around. Her long brown hair got into her eyes. She got it out and sighed. She closed her gray eyes and the wind flew fast her. She tried to struggle to walk home in her Egyptian robe.
It was damp and cold. A dark night. It started to rain. Armani pulled up her hood and ran home.
"Armani!" cried Mrs. Ishtard. "You're all wet!"
Armani bowed her head. "I'm sorry mother. I got caught in the storm."
"That's all right." Her mother got a towel and Armani changed into her night gown.
Armani climbed into bed and shut her eyes.
~*~
The sun creaked in through the windows. Armani woke up. She rubbed her eyes and climbed out of the bed. She struggled to get her clothes on and ate breakfast, then walked out the door.
Today was a beautiful day. The sun shone brightly, the birds chirped, but something made Armani not feel right.
She looked down the whole time. What a miserable day she had yesterday. Her dad went out of town and she had to baby-sit her baby brother.
Suddenly, Armani fell down. She had bumped into someone!
"I'm sorry," apologized a young man. Armani looked up at him. She stared at two charming blue eyes and silky brown hair.
"That's o-okay," stammered Armani.
"What's your name young lady?"
Armani blushed. "Armani Ishtard."
The boy smiled. "Ahh, you are the protector of the throne."
Armani shook her head. "Not until I am older."
The boy shook hands with Armani. "I am Namu."
"Pleased to meet you Namu."
Then, they walked their separate ways.
Armani never felt a feeling so intense. She had to meet Namu again.
~*~
The next day, Armani rushed out of bed and ran outside.
She spotted Namu and ran right towards him.
"Armani!" he called.
Armani blushed. He remembers my name, she thought.
"Namu!"
Namu caught up to her. "Nice to see you again Armani."
"Namu," Armani started. "Maybe we could share out home locations so we can see each other more often."
Namu agreed and they gave the locations of their homes.
The next day, Armani went right up to Namu's door. She was about to knock when Namu opened the door.
"Armani!" he cried.
It was then when a beautiful friendship started. They did everything together and were never apart.
It was one day when Namu proposed to Armani. They were going to get married in about a month. It was so happy for them both.
~*~
The dreadful day came when Namu and Armani were playing in the open field.
"It's such a beautiful sunset." Armani said as Namu held her close to him.
Soon, it became dark and still, they walked around.
Armani stumbled over something and she cried out. She screamed in pain and agony. Namu rushed over.
Armani sat there with her hands on her legs, crying. A snake hissed. Namu stepped on it and killed it and then went to Armani.
"I-it bit me." She said. Her voice was weak and fading.
"Please, don't leave me Armani." Namu pleaded. A single tear formed in the corner of his eye.
He bent down and gave her a kiss. A long tender kiss. Her lips felt cold against his.
Suddenly, Armani fell down. Namu screamed.
"Don't leave me!" he screamed. "DON'T LEAVE ME!!!"
"I'm sorry." She mouthed as her eyes rolled back into her head. She closed her eyes. Namu held her in her arms.
It started to rain. Thunder boomed. Lightening blinded Namu. He started to cry.
"I'm sorry Armani." The thunder drowned out his words. "I'm so sorry."
~*~
Armani's funeral was held in a special place my Namu's home. She had a special grave marked beautifully. Flowers dazzled around the coffin. Namu bowed his head down and kept silent. He didn't say anything throughout the whole funeral.
When it was over he walked home with no one.
No one followed him, for the pain sweeping over him would stay there. And would stay there forever.
~*~
About a week later, Namu was found in his bedroom, dead. Beside his body, was a note. It read:
My dear parents and friends, I have left you all and I have gone in search for my true love. I love you all and I always will. I will be watching over you at all times so don't worry. My spirit will always be with you and I hope, so will Armani's. Good- bye everyone and I just wanted you to know that I love you.
Namu
~End of Flashback~
"And so, every year in Egypt since the day Namu committed suicide, people all over Egypt have come to their graves and placed flowers there, because that's how true love started." Explained Yami.
Lashiza was crying. "But what about all of the other marriages?" asked Yugi.
"Ahh, Yugi. Those marriages were not real. Only forced. No one loved each other. That's why, while I am Pharaoh, we will find the ones we really love; even if that means we are to be lonely forever. Because I know that's what people would rather have."
The two children burst into tears at the story. Yami looked at them sadly, then walked off.
Little did Yami know that the tears would soon turn into screams and when he found out, it was too late.
"Help us Uncle Yami!"
Screams pierced Yami's ears. They weren't joking this time.
Yami ran as fast as he could. He caught a glimpse of the two children being carried off by a larger man. Their hands stuck out. Screams of fear filled the air. All Yami could do was watch. He closed his eyes and turned away.
"Lashiza!! Yugi!!" he screamed in a shrill voice he did not recognize.
"Uncle Yami!" screamed the voices, but they soon faded.
Yami dropped to his knees. All he could hear now was complete silence. Tears flowed down his cheeks.
He looked around and saw a piece of paper. He skimmed his eyes through it, dropped it and screamed.
~*~
Me: This was a bit longer.
Yugi: Ya, how come I was kidnapped?
Me: Meh, cuz it was fun to see you cry.
Yugi: -______________-#
Yami: (cries) That's story was so sad!
Yugi: Ya. (cries)
Me: Oh, come on!! I made it up!!
Yami: But it still was sad.
