Chapter 6: The Ball

Atem waited pationtly by Melody's door, hoping to catch a glimpse of her before the ball actually started, and woman from around Egypt and from who knows where danced with him and bore him to tears. O joy.

He knocked on her door and said, "Melody...? You almost ready...?" He heard giggleing in the background as Mana opened the door. "Oh, you cant see her yet, Prince-sama!" She smiled and said, "What do you need, Prince-sama?"

Atem sighed and said, "Tell her to give me the rose I gave her. I'll give it right back." Melody had heard this. She was in a bathrobe, her hair wet from taking a bath. She wentto the dressor and took out the rose from a jewelery box she had kept it in. She walked towards the door, the two servants giggeling as they fixed her dress. She handed him the rose, looking at him curiously. He was dressed in his regular clothes, but he seemed depressed.

She smiled and said, "Here you go, Pharaoh!" She handed it to him. He took it, saying, "Thank you. Ow!" a thorn pricked him, and a trickle of blood fell from his finger. Melody gasped and ripped off a piece of cloth from her robe. She ran to him and took his finger, saying, "Hold still, Pharaoh." He did as she said, blushing as she wrapped the cloth around his finger. She tied it in place and said, "There you go." She smiled and said, "It's not much, but it'll do." Atem nodded. He took the green jewel off of the rose and handed it back to her. She smiled and said, "Thank you for the rose, Pharaoh. It means a lot to me that you gave it back." She walked in the room and winked at him, saying, "I'll be at the ball soon. And you better dance with me, okay?" He nodded and blushed when she closed the door, leaving him alone.

An hour later, Atem was at the ball, dancing with a fat woman from Japan. He sighed and thought, Just shoot me now... Kill me and let me rot. He bowed to her when she left to dance with another man. He sighed and looked around. He looked to see Melody's brown hair, making sure she if she was here or not. He sighed when he found that she wasn't. He looked around again and saw a woman he didn't dance with. He walked up to her and tapped the back of her shoulder. He saw she had curly blonde hair. He sighed and said, "Would you like to dance with me?" She turned around. She had a pretty face. It wasnarrow, but she had tender skin. She had blue eyes and red lips, and a small nose. Atem blinked, not impressed by her beauty.

The girl smiled and said, "Of course Pharaoh!" She took his hand as they started to dance. He looked bored already. She tried to make conversation, but it didn't work. He was bored with her, and she knew it. She looked at him and said, "Why did you throw this ball, Pharaoh? You seem not to like any woman here."

Atem looked at her and said, "Because... well..." He sighed and said, "Because my advisor said to, and I gave him permission when I was half asleep."

The girl giggled and said, "I see. I'm Julie, by the way." She smiled and said, "Did you already fall in love?" Atem blushed and looked away, trying to get away from that topic, and mostly her. She would make him tell the truth, and hurt her feelings, as well as many others.

He let go of her hands and said, "Excuse me, I have other women to attend to." He walked away, leaving Julie alone. He walked to where the food was, and took a glass of wine (there was no drinking age back then). He sipped it, bored with this night. He looked around and saw men abandoning their woman, and looking at the stairs. He sighed and did so, but dropped his glass. He saw a goddess standing there, and that goddess was Melody.

Melody blushed as the men stared at her in herwhite dress. It was off of her shoulders, and it had ruffles at the sleeves. It went down her chest and towards her stomach where it cut into a V pattern, desecnding down. Then the dress poofed out, white ruffles at the bottom of it at the hem. She wore white shoes, covered by the dress. Her hair was curled into banana curls, and she had it half up half down. She walked down the stairs, holding her dress so she wouldn't trip. She walked towards Atem and smiled.

"Hello, Pharaoh." She curtsied as she said this. She stood up and said, "Remember you're promise." He stared at her with a confused expression. Everybody was watching them as she said, "You promised to dance with me, silly!" She grabbed his hand and said, "So, you better keep it." Atem smiled and nodded. He grabbed her waist and they both blushed a little. He grabbed her hand, and she held the end of her skirt, making sure she wound't trip. They looked into each other's eyes, and they danced the waltz.

They moved across the room, both of them feeling like they were floating in the air. Melody blushed and put her head on his chest. Atem blushed tooas he pressed tight against her, making them close so they wouldn't dancce apart. When the song ended, Melody bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Pharaoh..." She was still dazed by when he did while they were dancing, the same with Atem. The orcustra continued playing, and all of the other people danced. Atem grabbed Melody's hand and led her away form the ball so they could be alone.

Outside in the gardens, the moon was shining on Melody's curly hair. She was blushing when she finally said at the fountain he brought them to, "Pharaoh... why are you taking me away?"

Atem looked at her and said, "I needed to... because I need to give you something." Melody blushed abrighter shade of red when Atem took out something from his pocket. Melody gasped when he held it out. It was the jem from the rose, a green emerald. He put it on a silver chain, making it a necklace. She blushed as he put it over her neck, saying, "This is for you... the most beautiful girl at the ball..." Melody was speechless as Atem carressed her cheek, saying, "You mean more to me than just a friend, MissMelody..." Melody looked at him passionatly. Atem looked at her with his marroon eyes, making Melody want to fall into his arms and look at his eyes always. He leaned in closer to her face and said, "Miss Melody... I-"Atem stopped when he saw a glint of light in the bushes. It was pointy, like an arrow. His eye's opened wide as a man pointed the arrow towards Melody. He grabbed her and pulled her in close, saying, "Get down!" He pushed her to the ground when an arrow was shot, missing them both by a few inches.

Melody's eyes were wide with terror. She looked at Atem and said, "Pharaoh... what happened-" She stopped when Atem put his finger to his lips, shushing her. She looked at him and put her head on his chest, crying. She was scared, and Atem knew it. He needed to protect her like he promised. He looked at the bushes and saw bit of white in them. He knew who had shot the arrow.

He let Melody go and stood up, saying, "Show yourself, Bakura!" Melody gasped and wiped her tears away when she saw Bakura stand up in the bushes, dressed in his regular attire.

He smirked and said, "Greetings, Pharaoh. I see you're enjoying the ball with Miss Melody." He smirked as Melody cringed at hearing her name. He gasped when he saw her. She wasbeautiful. He smirked and said, "You look beautiful, Miss Melody." Melody looked away, hiding her blush. Atem clenched his fists in anger.

"What do you want, Bakura?" Bakura chuckled at Atem's anger.

"Why, I want what I alway's wanted from you, Pharaoh. To see you die, and Melody." Melody gasped when someone grabbed her face. The hands covered her mouth, preventing her to scream. She had tears of terror in her eyes.

Atem looked behind him and screamed, "Meldoy!" He ran to her, but was caught by a trap set on the ground. Bakura's henchmen carried Melody, trying to get a hold of her. She squirmed until the man put a sharp stick in her arm with a sleeping poison, making her body go limp. The man carried her bridal style and ran away. Atem was trapped to the ground, and he couldn't do anything.

Bakura snickered and said, "I'll make a wager, Pharaoh. If you can follow me and my men and try to save Melody, I'll keep her alive. But if not..." He held out a knife and licked it, saying, "I'll kill her pretty little face." Atem's eyes went wide with terror. Bakura laughed and walked away, leaving Atem to struggle to get out of the trap, so he could save the one person he truley cared about.

Authoress Blah Blah Blah: MUAHAHAHAHAHAA! MELODY IS CAPTURED! (snickers) hah hah hah... hah... hah... o.O;;;

Bakura: that was awkward... (sweatdrop)

Atem: OW! THAT TRAP HURTS! (struggles)
