Blue Savage: Ok here in this chapter, I don't know much about Egyptian wedding ceremonies so instead I'm going to refer to the Catholic weddings I've been to, K? Anyway I won't be writing the whole wedding just some parts.

Chapter 22: Revealed Darkness
Safiya was standing at the end of the aisle holding a bouquet of herbs in her arms (they used special herbs and weeds in ancient times to ward off evil spirits). She took one big breath under the silk handkerchief in tacked behind her ears, which covered her mouth and went pass the bridge of her nose. 'This is it!' she thought.
She looked passed her brother which was seated not too far from where Namu was. And as for Namu he was at the other end of the aisle, smirking. He wore those white Egyptian types of kilts and golden plates which were placed above his shoulders. Behind him was a white colored cape that flowed with amusement. He didn't wear a shirt and still kept his jewelries on, the gold armbands, earrings, neckband and another extra jewelry which the dressmakers added, gold anklets.
As the music started Safiya slowly walked down the red carpeted aisle, slowly and carefully. She slowly shifted her head to look upwards at the balcony of the throne room. There she saw Bakura looking at her smirking. 'I hope your plan will work, Bakura! Whatever your plan is!' she continued marching down the walkway and concentrated on not trying to trip over.
Once she reached the other end Namu took her hand and motioned her beside him. "Good luck Princess Safiya." He whispered in her ear. Safiya didn't care and stared above the altar. 'Just wait Princess Safiya. I'll wipe that scowl out of your face and replace that with a look of fear and fright!' he grinned.
They waited for a while and the priest entered the scene and the wedding ceremony began.
----====***====----
(AN: ok this is near the ending of the wedding already. This is the placing of the ring and 'I do's' part)
It was near the ending of the wedding and the placing of rings was next. Safiya was standing right before Namu. Her face was emotionless, no feeling went through her, except, anxiety and the thought of what Bakura was about to do.
----====***====----
Bakura was above the throne room balcony and was gazing upon the princess. 'Man, she looks gorgeous!' he thought. Then he removed his eyes from the princess to the familiar people surrounding the room.
'Yazid, Funsani, Aswad, Harakhty, Lateef, it is nearly time for us to initiate our plan.' He thought as he pictured each one of their faces in his mind and recalling the plan they made last night.
*Flashback*
"Funsani, you take the north side, you will be the closest to Safiya, so as much as possible when you try to disrupt the wedding, try not to hurt her." he said to Funsani.
Then he faced Yazid "Yazid, you will take the south side, when Harakhty and Lateef have done their job immediately close the doors."
"Aswad you will be with Yazid, try to threaten the crowd and face your sword at the guards."
"And, finally, you two," he faced Harakhty and Lateef "you will be the distractions and do the first duty of ruining the wedding." The brothers smiled and high-fived each other "That's what we do best!" they chimed.
"You all know your jobs, so do it properly and do not fail me."
*End of Flashback*
Bakura smirked at the recalling of their plan 'This is a perfect and foolproof plan!'
----====***====----
Back down at the wedding, the priest was about to speak the final words of the nuptial "Do you, Prince Namu Ishtar, descendant of the ruler of El Giza take Princess Safiya, sister of the great Pharaoh Yami, as your lovely, wedded wife, to hold and to take, to love and respect, to keep in illness and in health?"
Namu looked into Safiya's eyes and slid the gold ring in her ring finger "I do."
'C'mon Bakura, hurry up with your plan!' Safiya panicked as she was staring at the smirking Namu whilst slipping the ring on her finger.
"And, do you Princess Safiya, sister of the great Pharaoh Yami, take Prince Namu Ishtar, descendant of the ruler of El Giza as your lovely, wedded husband, to hold and to take, to love and to respect, to keep in illness and in health?"
Safiya looked up at the balcony and saw Bakura. She gulped and was breathing hardly now.
----====***====----
Bakura was looking at every one of his minions. When he was to give the sign to start their mission, something stopped their attention, everyone's attention.
----====***====----
Just when she was about to speak Namu wrapped his right arm around Safiya's neck and his left, tanned arm around her waist. He backed away from the crowd and smirked maliciously at the Pharaoh.
Gasps and murmurs were heard around the room. Just then several purple-hooded men that were scattered about the room removed their hoods and took out their swords. There were even some pierce looking men that were crawling on the royal walls. Beside Namu stood a large looking man, the man had very dark skin, and long hair which was in a ponytail at back of his hair. He almost looked like Adom except for the strange markings on the left side of his face.
"What the hell! What are you doing Namu?!" Yami yelled at the grinning boy.
Namu smirked even more and tightened his grip on Safiya "Ok, enough of that name! My name's not Namu! My real name is Malik Ishtar!"
"Malik," Yami whispered "But that name belongs to the leader of the Rare Hunters!"
"Exactly Pharaoh! Why do you think I faked my name?"
"No way! Then who was the prince I heard of in El Giza?!"
Malik sneered. "No one stupid! My fellow Rare Hunters created that rumor so that you would easily believe that I was a prince!"
"No." Yami whispered softly. "Well, looks like the oh-so great Pharaoh would simply believe a scandal!" he snickered.
Yami raised his head and glared at the leader of the Rare Hunters "You good for nothing son of a bitch!"
"Thank you Pharaoh, that is true!" Malik ridiculed.
"Let her go Malik!" Yami growled.
"Oh, no, no, no Pharaoh! If I let her go there's a price!" Malik grinned tightening his grip once more, on Safiya, making her feel scared and frightened.
"What price?" Yami asked.
"Simple, your Millennium Puzzle and Egyptian God Card!" he sneered.
Yami clutched his Millennium Puzzle that hung loosely around his neck "But if I do that there's still no solution! You'd still rule the world and she will still be in peril!"
"Fine, if you want it that way!" he retorted "But if that's the way you like it, then war will be created in 3 days! Whoever wins will get the girl, the Millennium Items and Egyptian God Card! But for now I'm going to keep your precious sister!"
He looked up at the balcony to where Bakura was and smirked maliciously 'I guess I ruined your plan, Tomb Robber!' Then without notice he disappeared into the shadows together his men that surrounded the room.
"Safiya, no!" Yami yelled again while reaching his arm out for Safiya.
