*-*-*-*-…LAST TIME…*-*-*-*-
As the leader and Usuan turned to stare at the unknown person that had just entered, they saw a young blond man around the age of 18 or 19 leaning against the wall decked out in everyday clothing. "Hey punk, "the ring leader began, "leave before you get beaten into a pulp by us, ok? Now scram!" "Hm! Fat chance!" replied the mystery boy in a scathing response and shifted into a fighting position. Usuan grabbed the small knife hidden in the boots and bent his knees slight facing the gang. "Well have it your way then, boys!" cried out the ringleader and the gang began to rush towards the two boys, the girl forgotten to a moment, hiding in a dark corner. Unknown to Usuan, his hair tie was straining under the weight of his hair and was about to snap in any second.
Usuan began to swipe his knife swiftly across the hand of one of the people of the gang, leaving only a light trickle of blood not wanting to permanently harm someone, although it did do its job. Using a quick second to reassure himself that the mysterious man was ok and that the girl was not hurt, he returned to hurting the rest of the gang members, trying only to temporary put them out of action.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami was using his legs and hands to punch, kick and knee the gang members, though he did try not to knee them very hard since he knew how much that would hurt even if it was done gently. As he punched another of the gang in the face, he casted a look at the man wearing a hat fighting beside him to reassure him that his 'fighting mate' had not gone and died on him or something. Yami was not the bit least tired, for he had been in training for many years and his sensei taught him endurance. He was fighting to last of the remaining members as the rest of his beaten 'foes' crawled away with a defeated aura surrounding them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the blond had finished he turned to the Usuan and girl. "Are you two alright?" asked the mystery man. "Yea." "Yup" replied the both of them. "Hey, my name's Usuan Takada, what are yours?" Usuan asked them both. "Well, my name's Johina Mouyo," the girl said, "and thank you helping me, but I have to go now or else my parents will worry about me." And with that, the girl got up and skipped away happy that she had gotten away scathe free. "Well, before I tell you who I am, promise that you would tell anyone all right? 'Cause I'm not supposed to be out here." "Alright, I promised," came to reply. "Ok, well I'm…hey look out! Behind you!" The mysterious man was interrupted because one of the members of the gang had came back for revenge and had swiped his knife at Usuan's head. Luckily the 'mystery man had warned him quick enough that he was able to duck to avoid harm. But as he ducked, his hat fell off and the knife slashed his hair tie, letting 'Usuan's' shoulder-length blond hair cascade down. Feeling the shock of someone finding out her secret, Usagi took out her fury in the unfortunate man that had caused her misfortune. She turned to the mystery man with a grim face; the only thing she said was, "Shit!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the 'evil' man had cut Usuan's hair tie, Yami felt his jaws dropping. Usuan was a girl! Now he understood why Usuan looked pretty instead of handsome. He was actually a she! Although he knew he should've guess earlier, he was surprised that she had a war-horse instead of an elegant little mare. When 'Usuan' turned to face him with a defiant look on her face, she muttered under her breath, "Shit!" And Yami replied, "You're a girl?!?"
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Usagi stared in despair now that her disguise was ruined and that she was discovered.
When she first turned around to see the mystery man leaning against the wall of the alley, shrouded by the shadows, she thought nothing of him. Now that they stood at the entrance of the alley where sunlight was able to go, she saw that he had the look of a noble, even though she knew that that would be impossible, for he wore plain clothing. She saw that his spiky blond hair framed his flawless face and had piercing indigo eyes. He was lean and tall and Usagi guessed he was about 19 years of age. She guessed that he was already married since the people of Egypt were married young, by the age of 15. She herself was too old to not be married. Usagi saw that many females would call him handsome and with his body, for she could tell that he had not one bit of excess fat and could see the stomach muscles outline by the shirt he wore, that he was worthy to be drooled over. But Usagi was not a shallow person, so that even though he had aristocratic and admirable looks, she thought nothing about it.
"Yes, I am a female, and so? What about it?" Usagi demanded to know.
"Ai! Nothing is wrong about that, but I am just a bit surprised, for I had not expected it. I have never met a woman that pretends to be male, nor one that could ride like one and fights like a man." Yami replied back.
When Yami found out that Usuan was actually a woman, he could not believe it that he was deceived so easily. He was trained to spot little details like that, for if one was to miscalculate something, it could mean their lives when in battle. He saw that Usuan was actually a woman of shoulder-length blond hair, which was very uncommon in Egypt, for everyone had black hair except for a few exceptions, and also one with eyes the colour of deep oceans. She was very attractive but Yami had seen many women in court that were just as beautiful as her and so, he thought of it no more.
"Hmm! Well then, you have now. Please excuse me, I have other businesses to attend to. Good afternoon to you." With that, Usagi turned to leave.
But just as she brushed past him, the mysterious man grabbed her arm and asked her, and asked, "What is your name? You intrigue me."
"My name? Did not someone ever teach you to never tell your name to strangers?" and she wrenched her arm out of his grasp and vaulted onto her horse and rode away.
Yami watched as she trotted away from him to wherever she was headed. That defiant female he just met fascinated him. He had never met one like her. The ladies of the court always swarmed around him, doing everything they could to please him with their overly expensive dresses and heavy make-up, while the pheasants and common people groveled around him, always fearful of him. But that woman, she did neither, but talk back at him and be bold. That could be because he was dressed to way he was, as a common person in the marketplace, but he knew that women never did this to the men. It would be disrespect. Yami knew he wanted to know more about the girl but he also knew that he probably would never get to meet her again.
He sighed and said to himself, "Women are difficult creatures to understand. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em."
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Usagi huffed on her saddle as she rode Ebony to her spot by the river. She knew that she needed to calm down since her mood would effect her horse as he was getting agitated and antsy. As she rose to her destination, she felt a bit guilty for acting like such a…bitch, for lack of a better word, to the man. He had done nothing to her but help and she snapped at him without giving a word of thanks.
As she arrived at her destination, she sat down beside the flowing river, while the horse trotted to the river and splashed inn the clear waters. As she sat there, Usagi contemplated about life and what she would do now that she was settled her in Egypt. The sun was soon high in the sky, and she rode back to her room.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Yami strolled to Seenkh-chan shop. Seenkh was the only person he could ever talk to and understand him. His parents were busy people, and the only times when they would see him and talk to him would be whenever they pass each other in the halls or when his parents absolutely need to talk to him about some subject that could effect the country.
Yami was sneaking out of the palace one day a few years ago to the marketplace, where practically every Egyptian was to reduce the possibility that he would be caught by the palace guards. It was his first time he had every tried to do such a thing, but he had finally given in into the temptation of sneaking out of the place he called a home. He had arrived at the bustling marketplace and he gazed all around him, amazed at the sites he saw and how simple the people's lives were. He was not watching where he was going when he bumped into a farmer's wagon, tipping everything over. The farmer ad stormed over to him, determined to give Yami a piece of his mind, when Seenkh and intercepted the angered man's path and paid for all the damages.
When Yami confronted Seenkh on why he had helped an unknown person, Seenkh had answered, "The world is becoming more and more like that man. If no one stops to help people every now and then, we would become creatures with no feelings, and I don't want that to happen." And after that encounter, Yami and Seenkh became close friends over the years.
Yami finally sighted his destination and he smiled in relief for the sun had started to beat onto his head and back and trickles of sweat had started to make their way down his body. Soon, he entered the little shop and greeted Seenkh.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Just as Usagi was about to enter the stables, she tucked her hair under her hat, as to not alarm Fuutai. When she was sure that ever piece of her hair was hidden, she led her steed into the stables. She flinched back a bit when Fuutai appeared in front of her suddenly, but she got over it and handed him the reins.
"Ai! Back already, Usuan, my friend? Where are you heading off to?"
"Ah…no where, probably just back to my villa. It is hot and I should bathe now. I smell of grime and sweat."
"Aye, so you should," Fuutai answered back wistfully, "I wish I could do that now, but I must work. I shall talk to you another time."
"Alright, Fuutai, so you shall. And you shouldn't despair, look on the bright side. At least you could stay in the shade and shadows, while I have to walk back into the blazing sun and scorch myself half to death before I could arrive to my destination."
"True, true. Well, good luck on not roasting yourself out there."
And with that, Usuan waved a hand goodbye, and walked out of the cool stables.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Usagi started to sweat profusely as soon as she stepped outside of the stables and walked to her accommodations. She wanted to hurry and run to her destination but she knew that she would sweat even more generously and smell more like a man, something she did not want to do, even though she was currently posing as one. She thought that even though she was disguised into looking male, didn't mean that she had to start smelling like one (no offense to any of you guys out there…).
She sighed in relief and satisfaction now that Seenkha's place was in sight. She almost given up her thought of not smelling bad and just sprint towards the cool relief from the temperature she called Seenkh's shop. Usagi pulled her hat off and shook her sweaty, damp hair out of her face. She would go inside, greet Seenkh, go into her room and bathe in ice, cool water. With that in mind, she delicately opened the door to enter the shop. As she opened the door, she heard another person inside with her new friend.
"…parents are bothering me into finding myself a wife. Can't believe it."
Curious, Usagi turned to the counter and saw a very familiar figure. The figure had blond spiky hair that stood above his head while various strands framed his face. Usagi must have made a noise for Seenkh and the 'unknown' figure turned around to face her. As the person turned around, she gasped in surprise. The man standing in front of her was none other than the one from the alley. In union both of them cried out while pointing their fingers at one another, "You!"
And Seenkh just stood in the background with an amused look on his weathered face, chuckling all the while.

Well, this chapter turned out very unexpected…I'm sorry for putting all you readers in suspense but I had no idea how to continue the story. But now I finished creating the plot, things should be easier now…
Ok…even though I'm obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh and stuff, I have no clue what happened in the series. I've only watched like 'bout less than 10 episode of it (you see the audience throwing chairs at me… "I'm sorry…I said, I'm sorry…ow…who threw that binder at me?!"). So, could someone tell me the basic idea of it, other than, that it has these cards that come alive at a game or something? And could someone tell me about what already been revealed about Yami's past? And all the main characters included in ancient Egypt? Like Malik, and stuff?
Yes, I know I'm hopeless, you don't have to tell me…anywayz…Yea… and to all you people out there…
*~ MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! ~*
Lol… consider this your Christmas present people…see you all next year!
