Life as Pharaoh Chapter three

Me: Whoo, Yami. You a bad baby-sitter.

Yami: -___________-

Yugi: Ha-ha.

Yami: It wasn't my fault.

Me: Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure..

Yami: SHUT THE FUCK UP!! (Runs away pulling hair)

Me/Yugi: Uhh..

~*~

Yami screamed. His eyes revealed fear. He picked up the note.

Pharaoh Yami,

If you ever want to see the young two ever again, then you must resign as Pharaoh and hand over the Millennium Puzzle. If you don't, you will never find the childrens' skeletons. Come to the Sphinx by the Nile. If you don't come by sunset tomorrow, the kids will die. Come alone.

The letter wasn't signed.

Yami stared at the letter, reading it over and over again.

What was he to do??

If he didn't hand over his place as Pharaoh and the Puzzle, Yugi and Lashiza would die. If he did, the people would suffer and the disease would never be cured.

Such a decision.

Tear streamed down Yami's face.

"I'm sorry Yugi, Lashiza. I have failed."

Suddenly, two hands grabbed Yami by the shoulders, firmly. Yami didn't flinch.

"Yami." Spoke a voice. Yami raised his head and turned around.

There, stood Lauretta.

"Lauretta," spoke Yami, softly. He started to cry. "I've lost them both."

"What's this?" Lauretta asked as she bent down to pick the note up. She read it in a whisper. She gasped and dropped it.

"What are you doing to do, Yami?" she asked, her voice concerned.

Yami was silent, then..

"I'm going to rescue them."

Lauretta gasped. "But what about Pharaoh? The disease?"

"The kids are far more important than that." Sighed Yami.

Lauretta picked the letter up. "I'm coming with you."

Yami stood up. "You mustn't. I must come alone."

Tears fell from Lauretta's eyes. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Yami said hugging her. He knew what he had to do. He had to go to the Sphinx by the Nile.

And so off he set with everyone's best wishes.

Tears went down Yami's eyes as he walked. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a photo. (Me: I don't know if they had photos 3000 year ago. Meh)

The photo had a picture of Yugi, Lashiza and himself. They looked so happy, but now the smiles turned to frowns and screams.

Yami could still hear Yugi and Lashiza's screams echoing through the air. The screaming got louder and louder. Yami put his hands to his ears. He screamed and ran.

There he was. The Sphinx. And there was the Nile. Flowing so peacefully. There wasn't a single wave. The water was so calm, so peaceful, so beautiful. Yami realized he was sweating. He slowly dragged himself to the river. The water glistened. Fish popped out of the water. Their scales were also so clean, so fresh. What if the new Pharaoh didn't treat them as good? He could picture it all in his mind. In ten years, the water would be filthy. The fish would be dead. The people would be restless. And the new Pharaoh would probably be Seto Ishtard.

Yami shook the thoughts from his head. He scooped up some water from the Nile and slashed a dab of it on his face. Instantly, he felt refreshed. He paused and looked at his reflection.

Look at you, he though to himself. Look at what you've become. How pathetic. Seto was right. You'll never work it out. You've already lost the kids and you'll lose the kids. Look at you. Anyone could see fear in your eyes. Anyone.

Yami backed away.

"What am I thinking?" he asked himself, panting. "YUGI!! LASHIZA!! I WILL GET YOU BACK!! I PROMISE!!"

Thinking of the vow he made, he looked at the photo again and but it against his heart. "No matter what. I'll save you." He looked at the photo and beads of tears landed on it. Three drops. On each of their faces.

That's the water on our faces when we're free and playing by the Nile, thought Yami with determination. He stuff the photo into a pocket and held onto his Millennium Puzzle and went inside the Sphinx.

Yami looked back one more time.

"No matter what.."

Me: The endings kinda weird but I don't give.

Yami: I didn't like it.

Yugi: Pssh. I wouldn't be talking. I was the one who was kidnapped.

Yami: Good point.

Me: -______________-#
