Here is chapter 2 of 'Just Call Me Angel'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Fate is a strange thing. But I've learned to expect the unexpected, because you never know which way destiny will take you

Ryou & I arrived to my sercet hideout when mornings first rays shone the gentle, golden light. The sky had turned blood red, then faded from pink to its light blue hue. Ryou had since woken up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"Morning," I said softly.
"Oh, good morning," Ryou said back, a little embarressed that he had fallen asleep.
"We're here," I said with a bit of triumph in my voice.
I stepped off of my horse and helped Ryou slip off gently to the sandy ground. I grabbed a sachel and pulled it over my shoulder and told Ryou to follow me. He did as told, and I led him to the main chamber where every treasure I had ever stolen was there. From necklaces and scarrubs to golden headdresses and statues. I dumped my bag into a pile for separation later. When I glanced at Ryou, I saw that he was in a state of awe. He was looking at a particular necklace. It was one of my personal favorites; It was the small, golden pendant with a blue sapphire inside that sparkles when held up to the light. Ryou took the necklace into his palm and fingered it gently.
"You like that one?" I asked, coming up behind him.
"I've never fallen in love with a gem before, but this is the most beautiful pendant I've ever seen."
I reached over his shoulders, taking the pendant and placed it around his slender neck.
"Then, it's yours," I said, snapping the clamp together.
Ryou turned around and hugged me tightly. I guess it was his way of saying thank you. I looked around, to make sure no one was watching, and hugged him back gently. Hmmm....his hair smelled like lavender petals; I didn't notice before.
"Now there's something you only see once in your lifetime," a new voice said behind us.
I turned my head to be faced with a grinning Marik, arms crossed and struggling to keep from laughing. I scowled hard at his grinning face and was half tempted to kill him at that exact moment.
"Don't you have anything better to do?" I asked harshly.
"Nope!" he answered back, grinning more than before.
"What about your Malik?" I asked slyly.
"He's preparing breakfast as we speak and I decided to see if you were in yet. Obviously, I was right," Marik said, grinning and now putting his hands behind his hair that defies gravity itself.
"Who's Malik?" Ryou asked innocently.
"Malik is Marik's personal servant, though Marik doesn't act like it," I whispered the last part in Ryou's ear.
When Ryou gave me a curious look, I winked at him and his cheeks turned pink. I guess he got the message.
"So why don't you go help him?" I asked stenly.
"Bakura, for as long as you have known me, you know cooking is not my specialty," He said with sarcasm dripping from his lips.
"Bull, Marik!" I nearly yelled at him.
"Okay! Okay! I'll leave you alone! Don't have kittens!" Marik said giving up, and left.
Finally!

I gently rubbed Yugi's cheek, feeling it's angelic like face. It's like a silk, only better. The sun had just risen, nearly blinding me for a few seconds, but I got used to the light and looked into the face of my little angel. Yugi slowly opened his amythest eyes, peering into the lit room.
"Good morning, little one," I said softly.
"Good day, my lord Pharaoh," he said shyly.
"Remember what I told you last night? I asked.
"Oh, sorry Yami-sama," Yugi said, blushing.
I got out of my bed and stretched out the cramped muscles. I felt eyes on my back and I turned around to see Yugi staring at me. When he noticed I was looking at him, he lightly blushed and turned his head.
"My lord Pharaoh,"a servant said, catching mine and Yugi's attention.
I remembered I had ordered the tailor to make Yugi some clothes and I guess they were here. The servent handed me the clothing and I handed them to Yugi. I then directed him to a dressing room, so he could dress in private. I went to my own personal dressing dressing chambers, where my servents dress me in my white silks, shoulder dress, head dress & shoes. I put my earrings on myself, as well as my sennen puzzle. When I retuned to my room, Yugi was standing there in the sunlit room, wearing an outfit similar to my own. He looked like a little angel, standing in the sunlight.
"Yami-sama?" Yugi said, bringing me back into reality.
"Oh, yeah, uh..yes Yugi?" I said stuttering.
"What do we do now?" he asked innocently.
"I was thinking of not doing my duties today and to show you the palace myself," I said.
"Wouldn't you get in trouble?" Yugi asked.
"Naw, Seto usually takes over for me when I want to take a break," I said, shrugging.
"Whose Seto?" Yugi asked.
"Seto's my high priest slash advisor slash best friend," I said truthfully.
"Oh," Yugi said, suprised at all the slashes.
I took a hold of Yugi's hand and led him to the gardens inside the palace. There were flowers of every varity kind in this garden. Red roses, white & pink roses, daisies, violets, sunflowers, tulips, lavander, jasmine, sakura blossums, and any other flower you could name. When you walk inside, you were bathed in the sweet scent of the flowers natural perfumes. Yugi turned to the sound of running water and ran to a small pond, filled with koi fish. Yugi ran his small fingers through the ponds crystal clear water, lightly touching one of the fish. Naturally, the fish ran off in fear of the hand, thinking it meant harm to itself. Though Yugi never meant to hurt it at all. I seriously doubt those thoughts had ever entered his head. I had hoped it would stay that way, but I was wrong.
Then, my sister entered the peaceful garden. She had short auburn hair, completely contradictory to my tri-colored spikes. Her eyes were sea blue, though, not like the sea. Not at all. When the sea is raging and savage, that would best describe my sister. She wore a traditional egyptian dress, with a pink shoulder dress. The dress itself was of white silk that most egyptains wore. Though, when you look at her, you feel this hateful aura around her. This aura also contains jealousy, cruelty, and a maliciousness I can not begin to describe. Not the kind of person you want to get close to. It seemed awkward to me, but the plants seem to call out to me, to be rid of the evil creature that has set foot on their peaceful keep.
"Got yourself a new servent I see," she said, grinning cruelly.
Yugi had sensed the evil in her voice, and had come closer to me for protection.
"And this one's cute to boot," The girl said, reaching out to touch him.
"No one is allowed to touch him without my permission," I said firmly, getting her way.
"Do you always have to keep all the good toys to yourself?" the short- haired girl said, pouting.
"Yugi is not a toy, sister," I said, emphasizing 'sister', "he is my personal servant, and not for your personal enjoyment."
"Your no fun, Brother," she said sarcastically, "and I really liked the last personal servant we had."
"He was a servent of Father's before he died. You know that as well as I do," I said sternly.
"To bad he had gone crazy and had to be looked up in that pyramid. I still can't believe he murdered Father," she said, sadly, though I could tell she was faking it.
She never liked our father, not anything about him. He had ruled over Egypt fairly and full of justice. He was kind and gentle, not wanting to hurt anyone, and a great player at shadow games. Infact, he was the one who got me into the shadow games and I met my soul monster, The Dark Magician. Whenever I shadow duel, he always helped me in rough spots. Anyway, somehow a servant had gone mad for some reason and had murdered him in his sleep. The servant was found a day later, covered in blood, crying. His white hair was matted, his skin was removed from it's natural color. His eyes; his eyes were full of terror and fear from the terrible crime commited. I would have sentenced him to death if it hadn't been for the way he looked at me. His eyes told me that he was innocent, but I couldn't tell. I just shut him up inside a pyramid for the rest of his life, though I couldn't help but feel guilty. He looked innocent, but looks could be deciving.
I sighed at the painful memory and stood up. Yugi stood up as well, but he stayed well behind me for protection. I didn't really mind it at all. Infact, I would mind hiding behind myself as well. I kept my head down and walked back to my room, Yugi trailing behind me. Once we got there, Yugi asked me the question I was dreading to answer.
"Yami-sama, what was she talking about?"
I sighed and told the tale of what happened that day. It was pretty painful to tell, but I managed. I am Pharaoh, and pharaohs do not weep. YUgi felt sorry for what I had gone through, as well as the servant.
"What was his name Yami-sama?" Yugi asked.
I answered in a low quiet voice.
"His name was......was Ryou."
