Chapter Four: "Pharaoh wants to Play"
'I DON'T WANT TO DIE!', was the last thought that went through Yuugi's head. Yugi knew that no one would save him Jou, Malik, and Ryou weren't there.
So Yuugi waited. Waited for the cold ax to cut through his neck. Waited for the pain of death to flow throughout his body, but it never came. All Yuugi heard were gasp, he looked up to see a tanned hand had stopped the ax. He couldn't fully turn around to see his savoir though. Next, he heard that woman's voice again.
"Who dare stop this ritual!" She yelled. Yuugi saw her face, and boy, was she angry.
"I dare." A voice, that Yuugi couldn't forget, spoke. Yuugi felt his gag being untied, and then himself being picked up. "This boy would be an unholy sacrifice to the gods." The voice continued.
"And why is that my Pharaoh?" asked the woman. Her voice now held less anger. The Pharaoh had saved Yuugi.
"Because, I took his virginity." The Pharaoh stated calmly. Everyone started murmuring. If you looked over to where the Pharaoh was sitting, you could see Seto smirking.
An old man, that reminded Yugi of his grandpa, stood up and looked at Yuugi. "Is this the truth boy?" he asked Yuugi. Yuugi, who was blushing madly at what the Pharaoh said, only nodded his head.
The Pharaoh smiled, or more like smirked, "Well, see then he'd be an unholy sacrifice. This ritual is now over!" The Pharaoh shouted. He slung Yuugi over his shoulder, and walked out of the arena, his crimson cape fluttering behind him.
Now in the Pharaoh's chamber, he order some servants to give Yuugi a bath, and then dress him in the clothes he handed to them. The Pharaoh sat on his king-sized bed, listening to Yuugi yell stuff at the Pharaoh's servants. Like: "Don't touch me there! I can wash that stop myself!", or "I'm so not wearing that! Can you even call that clothing! Get it off of me!". The Pharaoh smirked, he was going to have fun with this boy. He licked his lips when the word fun came to his mind.
Yuugi lost his battle with the servants, because in the end they pushed him out of the bathing room, in what someone from Yuugi's time wouldn't call clothing. He was wearing a silk, white, thin dress. The dress had no straps, so it tied in the back; it was also sleeveless. Yuugi had on several bracelets, and bangles on both arms, wrapped around his forehead was a necklace-like thing with a jewel hanging off it in the center of his forehead. The dress had the slits on each side, that went up to Yuugi's hips, showing off his legs; also showing he wasn't wearing anything underneath. A jewel incrusted belt hung loosely around his waist. He wore many ankle bracelets, and his sandals' straps were also incrusted with jewels. Still, Yuugi did not look happy.
The Pharaoh looked happily, and lustfully at Yuugi. He was about to ask for Yuugi's name, when a knock came at the door. "Enter!" The Pharaoh shouted, he had already dismissed his servants. He looked to the now opening door, to see old man Shimon enter. Shimon had been his advisor for a long time now.
"Aw! I see you have doted upon the boy." Shimon said. 'He reminds me of Grandpa.' Yuugi sighed inwardly. He missed his grandpa. Shimon walked up to Yuugi, they were about the same height, Shimon being a few inches shorter. "What is your name child?" Shimon ask, a smile planted on his old face.
Yuugi smiled back, this old man was like his grandpa. "Yuugi, sir. Pleasure to meet you." Yuugi said slightly bowing.
The old man looked confused, "Yuu-gi? That is a strange name."
"Here, I'll spell it for you." Yuugi took Shimon's hand, turned it palm up, and placed his finger in the middle of it. "Y-u-u-g-i, Yuugi." Yuugi traced each letter on Shimon's palm.
Shimon smiled, "I am Shimon, S-h-i-m-o-n." He traced the letters of his name on Yuugi's palm.
Yuugi giggled, "Shimon!" Yuugi clapped both of his hands together.
"Such a cute boy Pharaoh!" Shimon gently pinched Yuugi's cheeks. "You're very lucky to have found such a boy has him." Shimon looked towards the Pharaoh, "I must be going now, I just came to check on the boy. Bye Yuugi, Pharaoh. Goodnight." With that said, he left, closing the door behind him.
Yuugi looked around the room, then his gaze fell on the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh walked over to Yuugi, who was staring right back at him. When the Pharaoh reached Yuugi, he lifted the boy's chin up with his index finger. "You know, no slave would dare look directly at the Pharaoh." The Pharaoh whispered.
Yuugi looked straight into the Pharaoh's eyes and stated boldly, "I am not a slave." Yuugi was so close to smacking the Pharaoh. One, being the Pharaoh had kissed him, without his consent. Two, the Pharaoh makes him dress like a hooker. Finally, he calls Yuugi a slave. Oh yes, Yuugi was so close to smacking him.
The Pharaoh smirked at Yuugi, "So bold. I like naughty boys." The Pharaoh, the pulled Yuugi closer, and kissed him.
Yuugi broke away hastily from the kiss, and smacked the Pharaoh as hard as he could. "Bastard! What do you think your doing!" Yuugi yelled at the slightly shocked Pharaoh.
Yuugi was surprised when the Pharaoh started laughing, "Never has anyone had the courage to strike the Pharaoh. Yuugi, that is your name?" The Pharaoh ask, laughter still in his voice. Yuugi, who was now horrified because he realized what he just did, nervously nodded his head. "Yuugi, I like you, you shall now be my concubine. Understood?" Yuugi now angry at being called a concubine, stiffly nodded his head. "Good." The Pharaoh continued. "You can address me Atemu in private, but when in the public eye you are to address me as Pharaoh Atemu. Also, you are only allowed to follow my orders and no one else's." Atemu kissed Yuugi's palm.
Atemu started taking off Yuugi's bracelets and bangles. When he took off Yuugi's necklace-like crown, he kissed his forehead. Atemu, then, put a hand on Yuugi's bare hip, and ran it slowly down his leg, until he reached Yuugi's ankle. He took off the ankle bracelets and then the sandal. He did the same for the other leg.
Atemu, now walked over to the big bed, taking off his own jewelry, cape, and unnecessary clothing garments. So, when he crawled into bed all he was wearing was a linen kilt. "Come Yuugi." He said again pointing to the spot next to him.
Yuugi didn't budge, "If you are an all mighty powerful Pharaoh, why do I have to sleep in your bed, when you clearly have enough rooms?" Yuugi asked.
Yami looked at Yuugi wearily, "Because Yuugi, I told everyone I took your virginity, meaning I saved your life. That's twice, is it not? Taking your virginity would make you my concubine, that meaning: you warm my bed. Seeing as you might not want to be decapitated, I suggest you play along." Atemu finished lazily.
"Why not just put me in a harem, or whatever they are?" Yuugi asked, moving slightly closer to the bed.
"An ipet (1)?" Atemu asked. "First of all, you're a boy. Only women are found in the Royal Ipet. Secondly, you don't want to sleep in the ipet. Finally, you're too cute for anyone else to see." This last statement made Yuugi blush. "Now, please save all your questions until Ra rises again, Yuugi. We both need to sleep." Atemu said, stifling a yawn.
Yuugi looked at Atemu, and had to stifle his own yawn, he was tired. "Fine, but no touching me in inappropriate places." Yuugi said, climbing onto the bed retreating under the covers farthest away from Atemu. Yuugi heard Atemu chuckle, then he felt strong arms wrap around his waist, and found himself pressed against Atemu's chest. 'Grin and bare it Yuugi. Grin and bare it.' Yuugi thought to himself. He was annoyed at Atemu, but he still found himself liking the attention, and closeness of Atemu. 'I think it's those eyes. Those blood-red eyes. They have me on some sort of spell, I think.' Yuugi thought, drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
----------------------------------------------End Chapter-------------
(Rereads chapter) OMG! Atemu is a um…horny Pharaoh. At one point I wanted him to just jump on Yuugi, and do stuff. I can't and shouldn't be writing stuff like that. Yuugi was ooc. Sorry about that. Anyway I hope you like this chapter, especially for you Atemu/Yuugi fans.
Side notes:
1) Ipet- is the Arabic word translated into harem.
2) I have been getting reviews about the Ishtar dagger-thing. Well, the knife's appearance is old and rusty looking, so the Pharaoh (not Atemu) thought it was junk. It is actually the dagger of the goddess Ishtar (For this story Ishtar will be a god). Malik is assumed to be Ishtar, and that's why Mariku believed he won the fight before it started.
