A Broken Promise
By: NightoftheShadows
NS: Yeah! I came up with another idea for a story! The first chapter is in Ancient Egypt then all the rest will be in the present with a couple of flashbacks here and there I think. And, this will be in normal POV so we can get every bodies opinion on things since there isn't going to be just Kaiba and Yami.
Summary: Seth and Atem were lovers and they promised each other that they will always love the other. In the present, Seto gets the millennium rod that contains Seth's spirit. He can't wait to see his love again, but what if Yami doesn't love him and someone else? Will Seth cope with it or find out how to win back his lovers heart?
Disclaimer: Nope, don't own it, though if I was a distant relative of Kazuki Takahashi and he died.....hehe.
Prologue: The Sealing
The Pharaoh walked along the hallways of his palace in search of the person he had summoned minutes ago but had not come.
He growled in frustration, the high priest always seemed to do as he pleased and only did what he wanted to. The king had always looked the other way for the most part but now he needed him for something very important. And he knew exactly where he would find him.
He turned another corner of his palace to face a door. He opened it, not bothering to tell the priest that he was coming in, and stepped inside.
The king saw that he was correct. The priest was sitting on the side of his bed and staring out into space, not acknowledging that the Pharaoh had just walked in the room. Taking this as an opportunity, he walked quietly over to the bed.
"Good evening Seth." The pharaoh whispered in the priest ear, making him jump off the bed in surprise. The other chuckled in amusement at their antics before holding a hand to them to help Seth get up.
He took it and nodded a thanks. "What brings you here Atem?" he asked, standing up and looking at the smaller one.
"You did not come when I had ask you all to go to the ceremonial room. Everyone is there getting ready but you Seth. That is why I came here to get you." Atem replied calmly, watching his priest with great interest for an excuse.
"I will not participate in the Sealing Atem. I can not do that to you!" Seth shouted, sitting beside Atem and hugging him. "I do not want to lose you."
"Seth," Atem started, pushing away gently from Seth. "I do not wish to leave you but I have no choice in the matter. The Sealing requires for me to do this." He didn't want to start regretting the choice he had made just because Seth was not for it. He needed to do this to save the world. If his father had not opened the Games again this would have never happened.
"Why does it have to be you!" Seth demanded, anger showing in his cerulean eyes. "Why can not we just sacrifice some slave or other priest or..." a finger went onto his lips to silence him and he complied.
Atem sighed and moved closer to Seth, resting his head on the priest chest. "I wish that were possibly, but it must require the Pharaoh to do this. It is not my fault that I am one Seth, but I must accept my duty as do you need to accept the responsibility of being High Priest."
Seth said nothing. He knew that Atem was right, whatever he had to do was to be done and everyone must agree with it. The priest wrapped his arms around him and rested his head on the kings hair and was welcomed by the smell of oils and perfumes. "I know Atem, but I will never be able to see you after this."
"Is that what you are worried about?" Seth nodded and Atem gave him a small smile. "Then I will promise you something, Seth. That no matter how long we stay away from each other, I will always love you. No matter what." Atem vowed, looking up at Seth's face and giving him a kiss."
Seth smiled. "You have better." He returned the kiss as ifto seal the promise and when they parted, Atem stood.
"Shall we go then?" Atem asked, giving his hand to his love. He nodded and took it as they both walked to the ceremonial room.
Seth looked at his love as he entered to circle of priest, his back facing him. He never knew that playing those Games would have caused his only love to sacrifice themselves to save the world. It just wasn't fair!
Atem then began to chant the spell that would seal him inside the puzzle hanging around his neck. After a few phrases, Seth joined in and soon all the priests were chanting the same words in a rhythmic sound. Most had their eyes closed to concentrate more, but Seth wanted to see Atem until he was gone. Forever it would seem.
The high priest watched as Atem fell to his hands and knees, he heard his kings voice softening in the chant. Seth closed his eyes then, not wanting to see what would happen to his love. But as a shout of pain erupted in the air, he opened them again to see what was wrong.
Atem was still in the same position, but two glowing bubbles hung over his body; A white ball and a black ball. The two made a circle above the pharaoh before the black one shot into the puzzle and the white one shot up through the palace ceiling and towards the heavens. Seth drew back his attention to the king and saw him sway before hitting the ground, motionless.
"NO!" Seth yelled, taking a step towards him. He felt a tug in his heart and mind and he screamed in pain as he felt something pulling out of him and into the object that he was holding, the rod.
He last thing he heard were the other priest shouting out his name before he was consumed by darkness.
:Coughs: Yes, and that's how I thought Yami sealed himself in the puzzle and Seth going into the millennium rod if he did.....yes. This was fairly short but all the other chapters will be bigger, I promise. So, review if you want to find out more about what happens and no flames. Two reviews and I update like always.
