POV Seto

/Flashback/

I stared into Kisara's clear blue eyes. She stared at me back, and with a weak voice, she spoke.

"Seto… I am too weak… I can't hold on much longer…but I just wanted to tell you… my love for you is as vast as the skies Ra created. My ka… is now yours…"
Her beautiful eyes slowly closed, and with one last breath, her body became limp, her hand falling from my own.

I gazed, stunned at what has happened. How could father have done this to me? All for his selfish needs… Now my one and only true love is dead… gone forever…

I shifted my gaze to the Blue Eyes White Dragon tablet. I placed my hand on it, and then grasped it. Kisara… my one and only love.

"There will be no one… I love as much as you…" I vowed, with tears streaking my face.

I pressed my lips against her white, lifeless lips.

"No one…"

/End flashback/

I woke up, breathing heavily. I then relaxed, and fell back down onto the bed. It's been so long since I've had that dream… why now? I placed my hand on my forehead, which was still sweating heavily.

I heard the door creak open, and I instantly jolted up. Isis quietly stepped in, and lighted a torch.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked, eying me with her sapphire colored eye.

I stopped being so tense.

"Oh, it's only you Isis."

She raised her eyebrow, obviously unaccustomed to someone speaking to her as if she was unimportant.

"Yes, whatever you say. Is there something wrong?" she repeated in a softer voice.

I was still damp from the sweat… would she notice?

"No, I'm fine."

Still eyeing me, she said, "Are you sure? I heard… noises. Are you sure you weren't…" she stopped, then said in an even softer voice, "…dreaming about Kisara?"

I froze. How did she know? Her and her wretched ability… I glared up at her with obvious venom in my eyes and said, "No. I am fine. Now please, go back to your room so I can get some sleep."
Isis just gave me a mournful look, bowed, then muttered, "As you desire, high priest Seto." and finally left my room.

I lay back in my bed, thinking only about Kisara, and what the dream could have meant.

POV Tamara

I was sleeping peacefully… at least until someone rudely shook me awake. I could barely see who it was, but it seemed to be Atem.

"What do you want from me? I wanna… get some sleep…" I muttered, not even half awake yet.

"Well too bad," a voice said, pulling off the covers, "you have to get up."

I started to shiver without the covers, due to the fact it was still nighttime, and trust me, it was cold at night because the desert heat left as easily as it came, seriously.

"Mmmm…. Gimme that…" I grumbled, snatching the covers again.

The servant seemed a bit surprised, but grinned, then pulled me out of bed, and made me stand up strait. I just grumbled again, and fell to the floor with a heavy thud. He stared at me wide eyed, and shook his head.

"Note to self; once this girl's out, she's out." He said to himself.

I just grunted, and got up again.

"What do you want?" I said rather rudely. After all, it was the middle of the night.

"Well, I was sent by Atem to wake you up. I'm kinda like your personal butler now, and my name is Jou," the servant said in a strange accent.

"Yeah, yeah… What?" I said, finally realizing what he just said, "Did you just say you were my butler?"

Jou just nodded his head and said, "Tha's what I said, ain't it?"

I stared at him blankly. A butler? I myself barely surpassing the standards of being a slave could not have a butler. I mean, I bet I was in a lower class than even my butler!

I just shook my head, and said, "Ok, butler can you tell me why are you waking me up so damn early?"

"Because tha's what Atem told me to do." He responded simply.

Grrrr… I hate the fact that answers could be so simple, and don't answer the question (at least, the way I want it to)

"Ok, why does he want you to wake me up so early?" I asked with an annoyed tone.

Jou shrugged, and said, "I dunno. He just said to wake you up and take you to him."

I shrugged, and said, "Whatever. I'll ask him when we get there."

After I changed (he even left me a wardrobe full of clothes) and got ready to see the pharaoh, we made our way to his room, where he was silently reading scrolls, and signing them.

"Oh, so you're finally here!" Atem said, with a happy tone, "What kept you so long?"

Jou quickly answered when I was about to open my mouth, "Little missy here had to clean up an' all, just to look good for you." Jou winked, "If ya know what I'm sayin'."

Atem blushed, but my temper rose to the top.

"SAY WHAT? WHY YOU…" I burst in rage, while Jou was cowering in fright.

Atem signaled me to stop, with putting his hand front of me. I stopped in a mid sentence, still huffing in fury.

"Jou, stop it, and you too Tamara. Jou didn't mean anything by it, just a joke, and if you don't like it, then too bad for you, because he's your servant from now on."

Jou and I were both quiet, and I could tell Jou was a bit upset. Servant? I mean, butler is one thing, but a servant? A servant to a pharaoh is fine, but not to a commoner who's barely even equal to them in social status. Jou then stomped out of the room, and I doubt anyone could argue that he was very upset.

"Oh, leave him alone," Atem said carelessly, "he just doesn't like to be called a servant."

"Well, yeah, but don't you think he was a kinda upset? Shouldn't you say sorry or something?"
Atem looked at me with his lavender eyes.

"Tamara, he will be fine. He's just a bit moody. Now, I bet you want to know why you are here?"

Then I realized that Atem couldn't apologize to Jou, even if he wanted to. Who ever heard of a pharaoh apologize to a servant? I mean, the pharaoh was a god, for Ra's sake. I promised myself that I would see what was wrong with Jou and say sorry on Atem's behalf, as well as my own if he wouldn't.

I snapped out of thinking mode to respond to Atem.

"Huh? Oh yeah, so why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?" I asked while raising my eyebrow.

"To look for the rebellion leader, remember?" he answered.

Oh yeah… that…

"Well, yeah, but can't I do it during the day?" I asked, with an x pulsing on my temple. (a/n: you know, those anime x on the people's heads when they get angry)

"Because eat night, you can prowl easier with the night to hide you." Atem responded simply again. "And besides, the high priest was kidnapped at night, so the kidnapper would most likely strike at night."

Huh? A kidnapper?

He looked at my blank face, then informed me, "The rebellion leader also kidnapped the high priest, trying to get him to join him."

That was scary. What kind of freak was this leader?

"So, where am I going to look for this kidnapper slash rebellion leader?"

"I presume that you know your way around Egypt? Well, the priest said that their hideout was one of the old tombs, so I want you to look through all the tombs around the temple of Isis and Osiris. I want you back by the time when the sun reaches a 90 degree angle in the sky." Atem explained. After seeing my blank face again, he rolled his eyes and added, "Just get back here by noon."

"Ok!" I said confidently. And so, I set out to find this rebellion leader. If only it turned out to be as easy as it seems…
