Disclaimer: why do i have to do this? I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH! GET THAT INTO YOUR SMALL MINDS YOU BAKAS!

Atem looked at Alexander with hatred. He fell on his knees, shaking a little. Blood trickled down his back, and he winced in pain. Melody looked away, tears flowing down her tan cheeks. Atem shot Alexander a death glare. Alexander smirked. Atem snapped his fingers weakily before collasping on the floor.

In an instant, Muahado and Seth came into the room, Seth with his sword, Muahado with his wand. Mana was behind Muahado, hiding behind her master. Muahado looked atAtem and said, "Mana, heal the Pharaoh!" Mana nodded.

Manaran towards Atem, thinking, I hope Prince-samais okay... Shekneeled by his side. She concentrated hard and made the arrow levitate out of Atem's body. Atem cried in pain at times. Melody looked atMana and saw she was a traniee magician. Mana cast a spell so Atem's blood went back into his body, good as new. (Gross, i know, but i cant think of anything... Sweatdrop) Mana ripped off the bottom of her dress and used it as a bandage on Atem's wound.

Atem opened his eyes when Mana was done. He nodded his thanks and looked at the scene before him. Muahado was using his magic to kill Alexander's guards, while Seth was killing the guards with his sword, using his Rod once in a while to send their mind to the Shadow Realm. Atem smiled, happy with the progress his men were making. He looked at Melody and saw her crying, falling to her knees. The guard had started to whip her. Atem's eyes narrowed dangerously, ready to kill the guard. Melody looked at Atem in fear. She saw his glare, and she looked away.

Atem looked at Alexander who was cowering towards the door. Atem looked at him and said, "You're not going anywhere..."Alexander looked at Atem and gasped. Atem drew his sword and ran towards him. Alexander drew his, but ran out the door. Atem followed him, thinking, I wont ever forgive him for what he did to Melody... or to anyone, for that matter. He disappeared throught the door.

Melody looked towards the door. She winced in pain, even though the man had stopped whipping her. Melody fell to her knees, the man letting go of her... wait... why would he let go of her, when his order was to hold her? Melody looked at the guard in confusion, and saw that Seth had stabbed the guard in the gut. The guard was dead. Melody smiled her thanks, and looked towards the door. She stood up, built up her courage, and ran towards the door. She had to see Atem again, to tell him thanks for all he was doing.

Melody ran out of the door, looking around. To her horror, a trail of blood led out of the palace, towards the main gardens. She swallowed hard, took off her sandels so she could run better, picked up her dress so she wouldnt trip, and ran towards the trail. She ran this way and that, until she came across the two men. She gasped when she saw Alexander slash Atem in the his arm. Alexander was bleeding more than Atem, but she was still worried.

Atem fought with all he could, for his kingdom, and for her. He slashed all he could, hoping he would hurt Alexander so much, he would drop his sword. But so far, nothing he did could make him. He saw Melody was here, and he tried to bring the fight away from her. Alexander had the exact opposite thing in mind. He wanted to go towards Melody, so he could use her against her. Alexander pushed Atem towards Melody, and Atem fell on his butt. She gasped and helped him up. Her eyes widened as she felt his blood. His shoulder was bleeding again. He got up, saying to her, "Run away, Miss Melody, run away!" Melody blushed at the fact he called her, "Miss". But she shook her head, as if to say, 'No.'

Alexander smirked and said, "Die, wretched girl!" He ran towards Melody, usin his sword to slash her dress and her skin. He made his sword throw stonesat her body, one making her fall to ehtground unconscious. A rock hit Atem, too, but he wasnt knowcked out. He fell to the ground, his head bleeding a little. He looked at Alexander with hatred. Alexander smirked and said, "Surrender, or else..." he stopped to grab Melody's unconsious body, and said, "Or else i kill her..." He laughed evilly.

Atem smirked and said, "Go to hell..." his puzzle glowed, making Alexander's mind and soul go to hte shadow realm. Alexander fell to the ground, dropping Melody in the process. She fell by Atem's side. Atem drew his swordand stabbed the middle of Alexander's body, so he would never return. He put his sword away, and looked at Melody. His eye's widened at the goddessbefore him. He picked up her body, carrying her bridal style.

Atem was holding her limp body, saying, "I'll never let anyone hurt you again..." He walked towards a water fountain and layed her there. Her dress was ripped, and she had cuts on her body. Atem looked at her body and said, "You're so beautiful... but... there's something more about you that amazes me..." He winced in pain at the cut on his arm. It had stopped bleeding, but it still hurt nontheless. His hand reached down towards Melody's face, touching her cheek tenderly. He ran his hand over her face, blushing. Without knowing, his face inched closer to hers. He could feel her faint breath on his face. Finally realizing what he was doing, he blushed, but still inched closer. Finally, his lips were an inch away from hers. He reached down and kissed her lips gently. He shot back up, realizing what he had just done. He blushed, and looked at Melody. She was fast asleep, cut up badly, but she was still a goddess. He knew he would never be the same with her around.

He sighed and picked her up. He carried her to the palace, and sawthat Seth and Muahado had taken care of all the guards. He smiled at them and said, "Good work." They nodded at him and walked towards the door. Atem looked at them and said, "Muahado, come here fora minute."

Muahado blinked and walked towards him, saying, "What is it, my Pharaoh?" he saw the girl and smiled. "Do you want me to heal her?" Atem nodded.

"And put her in the finest guest room available." Muahado nodded. He took Melody in his arms gently, thinking, The Pharaoh has never been this generous... i wonder why... he walked out of the room, leaving the Pharaoh alone to be healed my his friend, Mana.

Mana smiled and said while tending to Atem's wounds, "You like her, dont you Prince-sama?" Atem looked away from her gaze, not sure of how he felt about her. Mana smiled and said, "I'll let you figure it out on your own, Prince-sama." She stood up and walked out of them room, leaving the Pharaoh of Egypt alone to think about the events of the day.

Well? How was it? please review, i need ideas for the next chappie! tootles!
