Chibi: Many apologies for the late update everyone! I have one more week of
classes and then finals, so I knew I had to update this now or I wouldn't
be able for a long time! After finals, I'll be working ferociously on my
cosplay outfit for ACen! Which happens to be a week after finals! Talk
about a stress reliever! Yay for my second anime con!
Anyways, thanks so much for all the great reviews!! All of you are awesome! And if anyone will be in the Chicago area (I believe a suburb called Rosemont) between May14-16, go to ACen!! I'll be there and it'll be a blast!
**Chapter Three**
The palace servants ran about preparing for the nights festivities. The main hall was now lavished with grand arrangements of flowers and ornaments. Torches were placed around the room, flickering an unearthly glow on the bright golds and greens that filled the room.
Yami walked in nodding in his approval with the decorations. The food for the banquet was now being brought in trays upon trays of Egyptian delicacies.
Before long the Libyan court arrived, taking their places in the room. The air felt heavy upon their arrival, as tensions grew and Yami watched from a curtained doorway, with an uneasy feeling.
"My Pharaoh," Seto spoke as he approached and then bowed to Yami. Yami turned to him, acknowledging he was listening. "It's time to begin the banquet. Your guests are waiting."
"I will be with them shortly. I promised to wake Anzu first."
"Please my Pharaoh, allow me to retrieve Lady Anzu for you. So you can fulfill your kingly duties with this meeting.
Yami hesitated; yet saw the logic in Seto's words. "Tell her I eagerly await her arrival."
"I will my Pharaoh," Seto watched as Yami entered the room, a malicious grin spreading across his face. As soon as Yami was out of sight, he ran to the nearest window. Standing nearby, hidden in the shadows of the moonlight was the Libyan, Bakura.
"Now?" Bakura asked as he turned to Seto. His only response was a quick nod as Seto quickly ran to Anzu's chambers.
****
The uneasy feeling that Yami had only grew worse as he entered the room. Something was wrong, he could feel it. But he kept up his kingly appearance and took his seat at the head of the table.
"Welcome friends," he spoke as he looked at them. "I hope that tonight's negotiations will benefit us all."
"I can assure you," the Libyan officer stood from the opposite end of the table, "we will be greatly benefited."
At this, a small legion of unseen Libyan soldiers invaded the palace! Taking the Egyptians by surprise!!
The bodyguards of the Pharaoh ran into the scene without hesitation, fighting off the Libyan troops. Yami also joined the battle after grabbing a spare sword from a guard.
****
At this time, Seto was now approaching Anzu's room. He walked in just as she began to stir, due to all the battle sounds echoing through the halls. She rubbed her eyes as she sat up confused. "What's going on?" she asked as her eyes widened, realizing that what she heard was a fight.
"You must come with me My Lady," Seto spoke as he grabbed her hand and dragged her out of her room.
"Wait! What's going on?!" She cried as she tried to pry her hand away from Seto. "Where's Yami?"
Seto didn't say a word as he half dragged her through the halls. Trying as quickly as he can to get her out of the place.
They reached the exit and a covered chariot was waiting for them, with Bakura at the reigns. Anzu stared at the strange man on the chariot. 'He's not Egyptian...' Anzu thought to herself as she turned to look at Seto.
"Who is this man?" she signaled to Bakura, yet Seto said nothing.
"Where are we going?" He only pulled her closer to the chariot.
"Where's Yami?!" She was now at the doorway to the chariot as Seto tried to shove her in.
Anzu had about had enough of this. "Why won't you answer me?!?!?!?!"
Seto was now furious. Grabbing Anzu by the shoulders, he spun her around and put his face next to hers. "If you know what's good for you, you'll get in the chariot and be quite!" he seethed his words out, his hot breath blowing over her face.
She gasped as her body stiffened with fear. A smirk went across his face. "Even when terrified, you're absolutely beautiful," he leaned down and harshly pressed his lips to hers.
She managed to free her left arm from his grasp and slapped him as hard as she could. Blood slowly trickled down his cheek as he lifted his hand to touch it. Curious, he grabbed her hand and saw the golden ring on her hand that broke his skin.
Knowing all to well what it was, he glared at Anzu and roughly began to pull the ring off her finger.
"No! Stop!!" she screamed, but to no avail. He tossed it to the ground with no regard and throw Anzu into the chariot. After picking up some nearby rope he climbed in also, tied Anzu and gagged her mouth to keep her quite.
"You'll have no need for that piece of junk anymore my sweet." He brushed his hands through her hair as she fruitlessly tried to escape his hold.
"Can we get going now? We're running out of time!" Bakura yelled as Seto nodded to him.
The chariot fled off into the deep desert.
****
As this was happening, swords continued to clash, spears lunged, and although taken by surprise, the Egyptian troops were far stronger than the small platoon of Libyans. And therefore the Libyans were eventually pushed out of the palace and off Egyptian land.
Yami stood evaluating the event that took place before him. How could they have done this? How could no one notice the hidden troops? The whole palace had been seized, but quickly defended.
Suddenly, it struck him, "ANZU!" He took off running to her chambers. The "whole" palace has been seized. Worry filled his heart as he ran down the long corridor.
He skidded to a halt as he reached her room and barged in...
