Chapter 16: Unwanted Matrimony

          The days and weeks passed as Bakura and Safiya still were talking with each other. There even some nights where Bakura still slept with her.

----====***====----

          A new day was born for the Princess. She awoke from her slumber and opened her eyes. She fixed herself up and went downstairs to the throne room of his brother.

          When she arrived she saw Yami sitting on his throne looking bored. "Hi, brother!" she greeted. "Hi, Safiya!" he called back. Safiya trudged toward Yami's throne and smiled at him. Her brother looked at her curiously and had a question stuck in his head. "Safiya," he said "Hmm?"

          "I've been meaning to ask you, why is it every once in a week you look really tired and still quite sleepy?" he asked. Safiya started to panic quietly 'What if he knew?!' "I've been also hearing noises in your room every once in a week." 'Oh no,'

          Safiya hesitated to think of a fake reason "Well, it's um………… I've been making stories."

          "What?"

          "Yeah that's right. Every week I make a new chapter in my story. It's about a boy who lives in the streets and meets a princess and becomes his friend." She said.

          "Oh, alright, nice story, keep it up!" Yami replied. "Oh, and Safiya I want to talk to you later this afternoon." Safiya nodded and walked off to her room. 'Phew! That was close! I thought he knew!' Safiya thought.

----====***====----

          Soon later, afternoon came by quickly. As the afternoon swirls of red, yellow and orange came it was time for Safiya to meet her brother again.

          As she was walking to the imperial throne room she kept thinking about what would happen tonight. 'Bakura and I will meet again tonight! I can't wait!' she giggled as she kept trudging towards the oak doors.

          When she arrived to her destination the two guards opened the doors for her. There she saw her brother still sitting on his throne. When Yami saw her sister he stood up from his throne and approached her. "Why did you summon me brother?" Safiya idly asked his beloved brother.

          "Come here," Yami called pulling his sister's arm. "Why?" Safiya inquired again to her brother.

          "You're 16, right?" Yami asked. Safiya nodded and curiously looked at her brother "Before mother and father died they requested me to do something to you,"

          "And, that is?"

          "Mother and father requested me to arrange your engagement." Safiya widened her eyes and became startled. "En-gage-ment?!" she quivered saying every syllable in the word. Yami nodded and smiled "Yup and you can meet your fiancée somewhere this week."

          "And when is this engagement?" she asked, disgusted by the word "Whenever you plan to with your betrothal."

          "But brother I don't want to get married! I'm only 16!" Safiya protested.

          "I can't do that Safiya! Father and mother both entrusted me to do this!"

          "But what about you! You're 17 and you don't even have a wife!"

          Yami was taken back by her words and looked at her "Don't you dare say that!"

          "And, why not?! You only had one year with her and you were single again! You could have had a newer wife if you wanted to!"

          Yami raised his head and glared at his sister "Don't you dare say that again in front of my face! I loved Hikari and I never wanted her to leave! I never replaced her was because she was the only one for me!"

          This time it was Safiya's turn to be taken back by his words. "Whether you like it or not you will get married to the man I delegated you with!"

          With that Safiya felt tears flowing down her eyes 'No, no, no, no' this word kept ringing inside her head.

----====***====----

          Safiya slowly walked to her room not anticipating whatever she passed by. She didn't care. Right now the only thing she wanted was to see Bakura again for him to hold her in his pale arms. 'Oh, Bakura, I never had the chance to tell you, to confess to you. I need you.'

          "I love you," she whispered.

Waahaa, Safiya's going to get married but to whom? Well just a reminder, Yami still doesn't know that Safiya and Bakura visit each other. Sorry for the shortness chapter. Well read the next chapter because it'll become better, juicier and nicer. Got to go, bye, hoped you liked it and READ & REVIEW!
