Ch. 1: Prologue

A/N: Yes, this is my first fan fiction. All the normal characters are there, with just the new addition of Yumiko, Sierra, and a character I need to get info on from a friend. Yumiko's been staying with Yugi and has a room of her own (no sick ideas people!). Also, I do not own Yugioh or any of its characters. Yumiko, however, is mine. One more thing, I haven't seen this idea yet, so if you had it written already, I wasn't trying to take your idea. Now, on with the story! Please enjoy it.

We go now, back to the past; ancient Egypt, to be exact. During this time, Yami and Yumiko are next in line to be pharaoh ((Well, Yami to be more exact…)). We go now to the private chambers of Yami, where him and Yumiko are enjoying a meal by themselves, with no servants.

Yami and Yumiko are sitting on the floor, eating. The royal food tasters had been by already and Yami had dismissed the other servants. "I'll call you if I need you. I promise." He says as the servants left. Once gone, Yami and Yumiko talk like a normal pair of siblings. They were far from normal, though. They were identical twins, and super close. We now go to the present, in that time at least…

Yami smiles at his sister and says, "Wow. I thought that they would never leave. Now we can relax and talk as we please. So, have you had a good day? Yumi-chan?"

Yumiko rolls her eyes and replies, "As if you need to ask. We spent nearly the whole day in each other's company. Boy, was father mad when he found out that we went to the city by ourselves…"

Yami looks at her and laughs, "As if I could forget. That was the longest lecture that I've ever had to endure. We should be glad that he didn't punish us more severely."

Yumiko nods in agreement, "You're right, as always." Yami says in a slightly gentler voice, "Hey. You're just as smart as me. Besides, it was my idea. I had a great time, though. I'm pretty sure that you did too." Yumiko smiles at the brother that knew her so well. "Well of course. Everyone wasn't treating us, especially me, like we were made of glass. Everyone just thought that we were two ordinary teenagers. That lunch was awesome though! Food outside of the palace is really good. I only wish that we could have it more often…" Yumiko stops, as a wistful look crosses her face.

"Oh well. At least we got out. Besides, tomorrow we have to get new crowns fitted… boy, what a good time…" replies Yami in a sarcastic voice.

Yumiko then leans over and flicks the tip of his nose, "We'll have fun. Try to look on the bright side. At least father hasn't decided that we shouldn't see one another. I couldn't stand that if he did that…" Yumiko's voice goes softer as she looks away, with a slight blush grazing her cheeks.

Yami looks over at Yumiko's blush and smiles. "Now who's the gloomy one? Besides, you know that I couldn't live in a world without you…" Yami then gently turns Yumiko's face so that she's looking up at him. Yumiko smiles at him and he smiles back. "There's that cheerful spirit. It's much nicer than the gloomy one."

Yumiko then says, as her face falls, "If mom and dad were to find out how we really felt… I'm not sure what would happen…"

Yami suddenly hugs his sister to him. "Shush now. You worry too much…"

Yumiko then smiles lightly and says, "I can worry. What if someone saw us now? We really could get in big trouble…"

Yami sighs as he replies. "I don't care anymore. I know we've kept this a secret for a long time, but… I think that we should tell mom and dad… and soon. I think someone may suspect us…"

Yumiko nods. "Yeah, I guess we better. Isn't it just our luck? The person we ended up falling in love with was our own twin! Oh well, you're also my best friend. So it's not too weird for me… I just wonder what everyone else would think…"

Yami then releases her and says, "I don't care what the fates decided. I'm not going to lose you. Whenever I'm pharaoh, which will be soon most likely, if you wish, you can be my queen."

Yumiko blushes a little as she says, "You know that I'll always be yours, no matter what. Besides, in town, it was a blast! Everyone thought we were the awesomest couple. Some people knew we were royalty and gave us free food. I don't believe that anyone know for sure who we are…"

Yami then taps her chin lightly. "Perk up. We'll be fine. We'll tell mother and father when we're ready. It may take a while, but we'll tell them."

And so ended that night. After a few hours, Yumiko returned to her private chambers and went to bed. A few days passed in this fashion; Yumiko and Yami dining together in his chambers for dinner each night. They ate lunch and breakfast with their parents and at the table, they shared one big chair. A few days later, something happened to change the fate of these two who had fallen in love… something terrible…

Yumiko had just written a letter to her parents (with Yami's help) that explained what they had been hiding for quite a while. ((If you want me to do the letter, it shall appear later.)) It was evening and dinnertime once again. Yami and Yumiko were enjoying a good stew, when a servant came in and brought Yami a glass of some rare drink.

Yami thanked the servant who bowed and hurried out of the room. Yami then took a sip and asked Yumiko to try some. Something really odd happened then. Yami started to grow paler than before and he started to get dizzy.

Yumiko immediately noticed as she knelt quickly beside him. "Yami? Yami! Please answer me!"

Yami then smiles weakly as he sees the tears spring to Yumiko's eyes. "Now, now, don't cry. I always hated it when you cried." he says in a soft, weak voice. Yumiko gently takes his hand and Yami then speaks again, this time his voice is even weaker. "Yumi-chan, please sing for me. I'm going to be dead soon. So are you, because you drank it as well. Just remember, I'll find you. No matter what and that I will always love you."

Yumiko then, right on cue, starts to feel sick and weak. She struggles not to cough up anything as she lies down beside Yami, who hugs her close to himself. She then starts to sing softly. Her voice, is amazing soft, yet sweet. Yami closes his eyes and a peaceful look appears on his face as he breaths his last. Yumiko then closes her eyes and her voice stops as she dies as well, with the same peaceful look on her face. Yumiko's last words were the same. "I will always love you…"

This is the way their parents found them, both of their children lying on the floor, dead.

A/N: Yes, this is the end of the prologue. The real story starts in the next chapter. Please continue reading and review. I would prefer if you didn't flame me… have a great day and hopefully I'll be able to update soon. I don't know if I will or not… I have tests to take as well…
