Rika: Here's the next chapter to this story, minna!
Chapter 7
Just as they entered the premises, the servants greeted them with their loud voices.
"Master Seto, welcome back."
'Whoa ... I never thought he was from such a rich family ...' Atem sighed inwardly.
"What are you doing? Come over here quickly." Seto called out to him.
"Yes ..." 'This guy's attitude is so annoying.' He moved over towards the other, who led him to a room with some rather pleasing decorations.
"From now on, this will be your room. My room is next door." Seto pointed towards the door next to the room.
"Is that so? Then what should I be doing now?" Atem asked him.
"What?"
Atem decided to test him and said, "Didn't you just buy me? What should I do here?"
"Eh ... About that ..." Seto began to ponder the question.
'Ha Ha ... what an amusing man. He has to actually THINK about a question like this.' Atem chuckled.
Suddenly, he patted the other's back ... or should we say he struck the other's back.
"Ah!" Seto rubbed the place where he was hit. "Damn! Why did you hit me all of a sudden?!"
"Heh, I just wanted to wake you up a bit. If you have any courage, you'd hit me right back." Atem then ran off.
"Stop right there!" Seto began chasing after him.
"Hmm?" Meti was in the middle of reading some documents when he heard the sounds of children playing. Thinking that it was rather strange, he stood up to find out what was going on. When he reached the courtyard, he saw a scene that he couldn't believe he was watching.
"Huh?!" He actually saw Seto chase Atem around the courtyard, both seemingly very happy about doing so.
"Whoa! I can't believe it! The cold and aloof Master Seto would actually ..."
"Who is that girl?! How could be be able to get along so well with him?"
All of the servants stopped from their work as they watched the pair.
'Heh, he is a good playmate after all.' Atem thought to himself. In a moment of carelessness, he let Seto catch up to him. "Ah!"
"Heh, I've caught you ... whoa!" Seto lost his balance and the two fell into a heap. "Eh ..." He felt very embarrassed because their positions was rather ...
Atem, on the other hand, didn't think much about it since they were both males.
"I'm ... I'm sorry ..." Seto stood up, flustered, and helped Atem to his feet.
"It's alright. At most, my clothes will need to be changed." He lightly patted himself, getting rid of the dust on himself. Atem then noticed that Seto's face looked as red as an apple. "Uh, why is your face so red?"
"Eh ... it's nothing ..." Seto abruptly turned around and ran off.
"Huh? Hey!" Atem was confused. 'What's up with him? Why did he leave so suddenly?' "What a disappointment. I was so happy playing like that ..." He watched the retreating figure of Seto running off from him. 'This is the first time I've played with a boy of my age. I never thought that it would be so amusing. I am confident ... that we would become good friends.'
Author's Corner:
Youlan: Oh, oh, oh! I didn't know that Seto could blush like that.
Seto: That's because you wrote the play like that. I usually don't blush!
Pharaoh: Heh heh. Why don't you just come out and say that you're embarrassed by the whole thing? You Look So Cute!
Seto: Damn you, Uro!!!
