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 7

"What did he say Dark Magician Girl?"

"He said to capture him but to not kill him, until Pharaoh Yami arrives."

Iris nodded, "fine, I will only capture him, not kill him."

Than one of Upton's second in command officers burst in to the room. He bowed, than whispered into Upton's ear.

"Princess Iris, they have captured a thief but it is not Bakura."

~Dungeon~

Iris walked up to one of the guards, "open up." The guard obeyed and opened the door.

Upton took her to the cell at the end. Iris looked inside the cell to see a boy about her age, looking down. His brown hair covering his eyes.

"Open the door, than leave."

Everyone was shocked, "but princess!"

"Are you questioning me?" The guard shut up and opened the door, everyone leaving. Once everyone was out of sight, she walked in and stood in front of him, "may I ask what you were stealing?"

"Might as well, since I'm going be executed soon."

"Why do you think that?"

"Heh, 'cause that's how life goes, you steal something, they kill you or chop off your hand. I was pick pocketing so I could buy food for myself."

Iris went on her knees and put a hand on his shoulder. The boy was startled and looked at Iris surprise. Iris notices that the boy had soft brown eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Tristan, Tristan Hiroto."

"From the Hiroto clan, who protects the Pharaohs tomb in Cairo? What are you doing here?" Iris searched his eyes, "you ran away, didn't you?"

Tristan looked away, "yes."

Iris nodded, "I see." She stood up, "follow me." Tristan was shocked but did so. When she walked out, all the guards took their swords out, "put you weapons away. I will deal with this boy on my own. Anyone objects?" All the guards put their swords away, "good, keep searching for the tomb robber Bakura, now go!" They bowed and left.

Iris walked down the a long hallway, follow by Shani, Upton, Lei, Makoto, and Tristan. "Shani?"

"Yes Princess?"

"You said you needed an apprentice to pass all your knowledge to, correct?"

"Yes?" Shani said, a little unsure.

Iris stopped and turned to Shani, "will, now you have one. Your new apprentice will be Tristan Hiroto. I will chick up on you two to see how you're doing."

Both Shani and Tristan looked at each other shocked than bowed at the same time, "yes princess."

~Couple of months later~

Makoto and Upton were in the throne room, as Pharaoh's, ambassadors, and Emperor's filled the throne room for the party of having a Pharaoh back to the city of Dahshur.

Lei than walked in the throne room, "My Pharaoh." Lei said, walking up to Iris and bowing, "Pharaoh Yami, prince Akhenaten, and Pharaoh Seti have finally arrived."

Iris looked at Lei, "Pharaoh Seti? Since when?"

"A month ago, when his father passed away in the night."

Iris nodded, looking up as the double doors were opened wide to see the three men walk towards her. Iris stood up and walked to the bottom of the steps, the three men bowed respectfully.

"It's nice to see all of you again." Iris than looked up at the rest of her guest, "as my father would say, 'drink all that you can, forget about your duties, and lets have fun."

Everyone cheered, as music started to play, princes, princesses, and everyone else started to dance.

Pharaoh Seti walking up to her, "Pharaoh Iris, may I please have this dance?"

Iris forced a smile, not wanting to dance with him. Pharaoh Yami saw this, and made his way to her, "I'm sorry Pharaoh Seti, but Pharaoh Iris promised me a dance when she was in my city couple of months ago."

Iris smiled a thank you to Pharaoh Yami, "yes Pharaoh Seti, maybe next time. Oh, and I'm truly sorry about the passing of your father."

Once on the dance floor, Iris sighed, "thank you Pharaoh Yami for getting me out of that situation."

Yami smiled down at her, "it was no problem, besides, I know how it feels to not want to dance with someone you despise. And please call me Yami."

Iris smiled, as they continue to dance. Iris than looked up and saw Shani, and her new sorcerer, Tristan.

"I see you have gotten a new sorcerer." Yami said, also looking at Tristan.

"Yes, he started his lesson the day my father was killed. He finished his lessons, and is now standing by my side, next to sorceress Shani."

"But is he as powerful as sorceress Shani?"

Iris looked up at Yami, "of course he is. They're are almost equal."

Before any other words could be exchange, the palace started to shake, than screams of pain filled the palace.

Than Upton's second in command came running in, "We're being attacked!"

A/N: That's all I could get on my spare time, sorry it took so long! Will please R & R and I'll TRY to get the next chapter up! ^^
