A/N: Sorry it took so long, but school started, and I have homework, and you get the picture. Will, I wrote what I could, so the disclaimer is still the same, on with the story.

Chapter 6

In mid afternoon, Iris, Shani, Lei, Rai, and Mokoto have finally arrived to the city of Dahshur. They got of their horses and started to run up the steps of the palace.

'Please father be okay, I cannot let you die! I don't know what I'm going to do with out you.' Iris looked up to see Upton coming up to them.

"Princess Iris, I'm sorry but....." Upton hesitated, Iris shook her head, tears stinging her eyes, "Pharaoh Ay has been murdered last night."

Iris ran towards her father's bedroom. As she got closer, every servant was in front of the door's crying, the guest looking sadly into the room. Iris ran through the double doors and stop right there and than, as she saw her father on the floor, with a slit throat, blood coming out and a knife through his stomach.

Iris fell to her knees, crying, "when? When was he like this?"

"Since this morning princess."

Iris put her palms on the floor for support, she than screamed, "NOOOOOOOO!"

~Throne room~

Sitting in her usual seat, Iris tried to think of a way to tell Pharaoh Yami about the ware bouts of the Tomb Robber, Bakura, in her kingdom.

"Upton, search all grounds of the palace and in the streets of Dahshur and find the Tomb Robber, Bakura immediately, and look for my sister, Nefertiti. Go." Upton bowed and went to tell his army.

It was quiet for a while, until Iris spoke up, "Shani."

"Yes princess Iris?" Shani stepped forward, bowing.

"Bring forth the Dark Magician Girl."

"Yes princess." Shani closed her eyes, twirling her staff on top of her, she said, "ack tal oup fa da hoc taw guo vacan! Come forth Dark Magician Girl."

And right before their eyes, the Dark Magician Girl was kneeling in front of the princess, as real as they were.

"Dark Magician Girl, please send this message to Pharaoh Yami's personal friend as fast as you can. Tell him, Tomb Robber Bakura has murdered my father, and might of kidnap my sister, Nefertiti, he may still be in the city. If Pharaoh Yami does not come in the next couple of days, I will take matters to my own hands! You may go."

The Dark Magician Girl stood, bowed and disappeared from their sight.

"Princess Iris?" Lei stepped forward, bowing.

"Yes Lei?"

"Is it wise to take matters to your own hands, if the Pharaoh of Badari does not come in the next couple of days?"

Iris stood up sharply, "of course it is! That damn Tomb Robber should pay for what he has done! And it will be my own two hands when he is killed!" She yelled, fresh tears streaming down her cheeks.

Lei winced at the tone of her voice and bowed once again, "of course, I'm sorry princess Iris, I should have not question your orders."

Iris shook her head, "no Lei, I'm sorry. It's just, I can't.... I-ah..." Iris broke into sobs and slumped to the floor.

"Princess, I think you should go rest. It's been a long day." Makoto said, helping Iris up to her feet.

"Yes, I shall go rest for a while. If the Dark Magician Girl comes back, come to my room, I want to know first."

"Yes princess." They all said, as they watched their friend and princess go to her room, with Rai following her behind.

~Hallway~

Iris saw Upton coming up to her, "have you found my sister, Nefertiti, Upton?"

Upton stopped in front of her bowing. When he looked up to her, Iris saw sympathy in his eyes.

"Is it possible that the Tomb Robber might have kidnap her?"

"No princess Iris. Princess Nefertiti was with the guard in the palace gardens when your father was murdered. It has seem if princess Nefertiti has ran away and might never come back."

Iris nodded absently, more tears pouring out. "Thank you for all you have done." Upton nodded, "I will be in my room to rest, Rai will be with me but I will still like it if somebody was in front of my room."

"Yes princess."

"You may go. Good night Upton." Iris started to her room once again.

"Good night... Pharaoh Iris, new ruler of Dahshur." Upton whispered, going to get one of his best men to stand guard in front of her door.

~Throne room~

Lei, Makoto, and Shani were sitting down on the table in silence.

After couple of minutes, Makoto spoke up, "something is not right here. Princess Nefertiti would never just runaway and leave her duties as princess, would she?"

"You are right Makoto, it doesn't make sense. Princess Nefertiti did despise princess Iris because she was the youngest and was liked by all." Lei said, looking up at them.

"But if Pharaoh Ay was still alive, I believe that he would have let princess Iris be Pharaoh, instead of princess Nefertiti, who was next to the throne."

"You are correct, high priestess, Shani." The trio looked up to see Upton walking up to them. "Pharaoh Ay has even told me once, when we were alone."

~Flash Back~

"Upton, who do you think would be Pharaoh, once I passed on?" Pharaoh Ay asked his loyal friend and high command of his army, as they walked down a long hallway, the sun coming through the windows.

"Princess Nefertiti of course, my Pharaoh."

Pharaoh Ay laughed, confusing Upton, "no, my youngest daughter, Iris, will take my place once I leave this place."

"B-but Pharaoh Ay, princess Nefertiti is the eldest daughter, she is the next heir to be ruler, if she does not find a husband." Upton said, completely confused.

Pharaoh Ay smiled weary, "yes but Iris is loved by all. She is kind, shy, loveable, yet she is determine to do something if she sets her mind to it, speaks out her mind, and takes care of the people of the city. Nefertiti does not like the people, she is kind when she wants too, she always speaks out her mind, and does whatever it takes to get what she wants." Pharaoh Ay looked thoughtful, and nodded, never losing his weary smile, "yes, Iris would be Pharaoh, after I've leave this place."

~End of Flash Back~

"So even if princess Nefertiti was the eldest and next in line to be Pharaoh, Pharaoh Ay made sure princess Iris would be Pharaoh, not princess Nefertiti." Makoto said, looking at Upton.

He nodded, "yes, he knew princess Iris would be perfect to be Pharaoh after he passed on."

Before any of them were able to speak more of this, the Dark Magician Girl appeared in front of them.

~Iris's~

Iris was on her balcony, looking up in the sky, "why Nefertiti? Why have you left me alone, when I need you the most?" she sighed, "I swear to Ra that I would get revenge on your death father! I'll make sure that Tomb Robber Bakura will suffer a painful death."

The door opened, Iris turned around to see Shani, Lei, Makoto, Upton, and the Dark Magician Girl in front of her.

Shani and the Dark Magician Girl took a step forward and bowed, "princess Iris, news from Pharaoh Yami."
