Chapter II
The Meet

Yami was sitting outside his Palace when he saw a girl lying only 10 steps in front of the vast building. Yami looked at her with a look of pity, and then remembered he saw her before...

Flashback

Yami was sitting near a fountain in the village when a girl around his age walked up to him. Her sky-blue eyes sparkled and her sandy hair danced with the calm breeze. She held out her hand and said, "Hi! I'm Maiku Takenaki." Yami took her hand and shook it. "I'm Yami." He said. Maiku looked surprized, but then let out a giggle and smiled again. "You're the Pharaoh's son, aren't you, Yami?" She asked. "Yes, I am." He answered. Maiku looked a little shocked, and replied, "I thought so," She giggled again, "No wonder your clothes are nicer than mine," She smiled that smile of hers and continued, "No offence or anything Yami, but your father, ain't the nicest Pharaoh around." She looked at her sandals and hoped he wouldn't get mad. She hated it when people got mad. That's how her Mother went away and was brought up to Ra in the afterlife. Yami sighed and said, "I know. He may not be the nicest Pharaoh, but his people respect him, so I guess it's not always a bad thing." He sighed again and looked at the sky. Maiku let out a cheery laugh and smiled again. "This is a nice guy for the Pharaoh's son," She thought, "Anyway, he's kinda cute!"

"I'm glad you didn't take it personally, Yami!" She replied. Yami blushed and commented, "I'm glad you speak your mind, Maiku." Then someone who looked like a High Priest came up to Yami and said, "Come along, young Prince. You shouldn't talk with those kind of people." The High Priest shot a nasty look at Maiku as he said that. Maiku shot a nasty look right back at him and stuck out her tongue. Yami sighed again and walked with him. "Goodbye Yami," Maiku called, "I hope to see you again!" Maiku smiled and waved.

End Flashback

It's been years since he last saw that girl. "Did she really want to see me that badly?" He thought. The girl who once never stopped smiling just lay there out cold. She had several serious injuries, including a stab in the chest, a slash in her back, and a slash in the arm, with several scraps and bruises.

Yami walked over to the young girl and carried her off into the Palace. He placed her on a bed and called for one of the slaves. His name was Hiroto Honda. Honda walked over to the Pharaoh and said, "Yes, my Pharaoh?" He noticed the girl on the bed and added, "You know this girl?" Yami looked at Maiku and looked at Honda and said, "I met her a couple of years ago. Do you know her?" Honda sighed and replied, "Yeah, she was one of my best friends before I came here. I wonder what happened though." He looked at Maiku and sighed. "Can you get some bandages for her?" He asked. "Yes, my Pharaoh." Honda replied. He then ran off to fetch what was needed to help the young girl. Yami sighed and looked at Maiku. Her sandy hair was drenched with blood, and her dress ripped. Yami thought he saw her stir, when Honda came back with the bandages, bandaged her up tight, and hoped for the best...
