I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters and plots.

However the following characters (their powers and such) used in this fan fiction ARE mine:

Lady Aurora Phoenix

Lady Natara Fear

Lady Sapphira Star

Blaze

Chaos

Havoc

Now I know this will be different from typical stories thus the reason it is in the fantasy genre but I wanted to give Atem a family and have a way to keep an eye on him even while he was nothing but a spirit in the Millennium Puzzle... This way I could do just that. This is my first fan fic so forgive me if it is not to your liking.

"Attack on the Pharaoh"

The main hall was crowded with guards and priests. Pharaoh Atem looked around. They could all feel that something would happen soon. They just had no idea when or how what they were expecting would come.

"We must stop this thief before he gets his hands on our treasures," one priest was saying.

"The Millennium items must be protected," another added.

"Yes, in the wrong hands the results would be disastrous," Set agreed.

"Has anyone been able to locate his hideout?" Atem asked. Several people shook their heads.

"Not yet, my Pharaoh. But our men are searching everywhere. He will not be able to hide forever."

"Oh, really?" A dark voice came out of no where. Torches lighting the main hall dimmed and almost diminished causing several to gasp in surprise and fear. When they brightened again, several dark creatures had appeared as well. The guards struggled against them. "Oh do not even bother, fools. You are no match for my monsters. They could easily tear you apart."

"Show yourself!" Atem demanded. Evil laughter filled the room.

"As you wish, your highness," the voice hissed in sarcasm. Atem gasped in shock as hands grabbed him and he felt the cold metal of a dagger at his throat. "Stand back you fools!" The man demanded as the guards prepared to rush forward. "And you with the staff. Drop it! Anyone makes a move and the Pharaoh dies here and now." A growl escaped Atem's throat as he grabbed the arm of his attacker.

"Bakura! You will pay for this!" he vowed through clenched teeth.

"Oh really, Pharaoh? It seems to me that you are in no position to make threats." Atem glared darkly over his shoulder at his captor. He had to get away from him and fast.

But how? He wondered angrily.

00000000000000000000000000000000

Lady Phoenix shivered as the gentle breeze changed to a violent wind. Looking around in confusion, she heard shouts and saw guards running towards the palace entrance. Placing a hand carefully on the balcony's edge, she watched intensely trying to figure out what the problem was. The answer came from a voice in the hall behind her. Half turned to the door, she heard running footsteps.

"The Pharaoh is being attacked!" a guard shouted to his group.

"Where?" another guard asked.

"The main hall!" Lady Phoenix narrowed her eyes.

Pharaoh Atem being attacked? She asked herself. She turned back to the balcony.

"Should I go to his aide?" she whispered. Then she shook her head. "No... No, this is not my battle. Not my war. I am certain he can take care of himself. He has so many guards to protect him. He does not need me." She paused briefly then with an angry sigh, she slammed her fist onto the ledge of the balcony. "But what if I can help? He did help me. He was kind. I owe him that much." The white, fire-like orb began to glow around her. "Pharaoh," she started as she stretched an open palm before her. "Looks like your kindness will be repaid sooner than I thought," she stated as a silver staff appeared in her hand. Silently she left her room, following the shouts from the guards to the main hall. "Ready or not, here I come," She murmured in a dark voice.
