Chapter two: The request
&&
Yami entered the pero lost in his own thoughts. He didn't notice Anzu calling him.
"Anzu to Yami, are you alright?" she asked walking beside him.
"Sorry Anzu, yes I'm fine" answered Yami smiling at her. Anzu smiled back.
She had a huge crush on Yami since the first moment she had seen him and was determined to win his heart.
"Anzu, is Jonouchi still awake?" asked Yami interrupting Anzu's thoughts about him.
"Yes he is, he and Honda are having a discussion about Shizuka and Mai" answered Anzu.
"Tell Jonouchi to meet me in my chambers, I need him to make me a favor" replied Yami.
Anzu nodded and walked away. A few minutes later Jonouchi was talking with Yami.
"Do you know where does Rasejem live?" asked Yami.
"The one that works in your court? Yeah" answered Jou.
"Deliver him this, the one the doesn't have a ren is for his daughter. Don't leave until you have an answer" said Yami handing Jou senu djema that had the symbol of royalty imprinted.
Jou nodded and walked out. He rode out of the pero and approached a wer and nefer house protected by gates. When he stopped by them he saw a guard guarding them.
"I carry a message from the Pharaoh" said Jonouchi.
"You may enter" said the guard opening the gate.
Jou rode in and stopped by the doors of the house. Suddenly the doors were opened and a young girl with short light brown hair and eyes of the same color could be seen.
"Mistress, we have a visitor" she informed.
Then a woman appeared by the door. It was a short woman with ketj-wadj colored eyes and blonde hair reaching her shoulders. Jou assumed she was Rasejem's hemet.
"Good mesut Lady, I carry a message from the Pharaoh" said Jou.
"Come in then" said the woman.
Jonouchi followed the woman inside the house to the living room. It was a simple but ample living room with the furniture made out of wood, an expensive material in Egypt because of its rarity, adorned with some gold.
"My ren is Menesi, I'm Rasejem's hemet" said herself smiling "He will be here in a few moments".
"I also have a message for your daughter" added Jou kindly.
"For my Mera?" asked Menesi astonished "I will give it to her, please wait here".
Jonouchi gave the djema to the mother and she climbed some stairs, then disappeared. The mother entered a long corridor but stopped at the first door at her right. She knocked it softly and a female voice replied "Come in". Menesi opened the door and entered Mera's room. It was a wer room with a wer bed, it had some chairs in a separate place, it had a table with some chests on it and a tjam ankh, also senu wer chests on a corner and some lamps that were burning those moments around the room. A curtain with a slit on the middle, positioned at the opposite side of the door separated the balcony.
"The Pharaoh sent you this" said Menesi handing to Mera the djema.
Mera, who was sitting on a chair asked "To me?".
"Yes" answered her mother.
The young girl took it, opened it and read it. It was a request, the Pharaoh wanted to see her the next day. He asked for Mera to go to the pero with her father and leave when Rasejem was ready to go home. Basically, she would spend the day in the pero.
"Mera what did you do?!?" stormed Rasejem into her room.
"Nothing father, I just met the Pharaoh tonight and he wants to finish the conversation we started" answered Mera after staring at the djema blankly.
"That better be because if it is something else you'll be in trouble!" said her father.
Jou was watching from the door of the room. When he laid eyes on Mera he couldn't stop staring at her. Said girl had something that enticed everyone.
"Yes you will go tomorrow" answered Rasejem.
Then he left the room. Mera took out a djema and wrote back to Yami.
"Here is the answer to the Pharaoh's request" she said giving it to Jou.
"Very well" said Jonouchi.
He turned around and left the room followed by Menesi. When they had been gone a figure entered the room.
"Hello Witch Of The Black Forest" greeted Mera to her monster.
"Hi Mera, what's all the commotion about?" replied WBF.
Mera explained her quickly. The Witch looked at Mera worriedly.
"Your father…" she started.
"Yes I know WBF" replied Mera "Let's leave this behind and rest, a long day awaits me".

"Here Yami, the girl sent you this" said Jou giving Yami the djema Mera had given to him.
Yami took it and read it.
He smirked when he finished "Thank you Jonouchi, you may retire".
"One more thing, Rasejem said he would be early tomorrow" added Jou.
"Did you see Mera?" asked Yami putting on a table the djema.
"Yeah I did Yami, she's a nefer girl" answered Jonouchi "I'm going, I wanna sleep".
Jou left the room and Yami sat on his bed thinking of the unfinished conversation and not aware of the many things that were happening.
