Recap (by Melody): Umm... well... I wasgetting ready for the ball when the Pharaohaskedfor my rose, and he took the jewel off of it.Then hewent away. Then...Theball started! YAY! Pharaoh danced with all of these women, and he was bored to tears. Then... umm... O! I came in the room! And... well... the Pharaoh dropped his wine glass when he looked at me... I wonder why...

Everyone except Gen whos throwing upand Melody: (sweatdrop)

Melody: What?Anyway, he danced with me! IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE- oops. I pressed caps. (sweatdrop) anyway, I had a pretty dress on, and... then the Pharaoh took me outside and gave me a necklace. Then he started to say something, but Bakura shot an arrow towards us. The Pharaoh saved me, but I was captured again. Then... well... I don't remember what happened after that. O well. (smiles) It was a good chappie in my opinion. lol.

Full Summary: (Set in Ancient Egypt) She was alone. No one loved her. Until he came. Meet Melody, a young Egyptian girl who lived on the streets and had a special gift: She could see the future. When she was given to the Pharaoh as a gift from Rome, Atem sees something special in this girl. And it's not the gift. It's something more than meets the eye.Will two totally different people fall in a love so passionate that only one person could bind them apart?

Pairings: OCXAtem, and BakuraXOC

Disclaimer (by Melody): Gen doesn't own anything except me... weird...o well. (sweatdrop)

Melody: Hey Gen, you feeling better? Or should I continue?

Gen: I'm better... well, a little better... lol. Let the story start!

Chapter 7: Finding Your True Love

Atem struggled out of the trap, finding that there wasa cut on his ankle. He sighed and took out a cloth from his pocket and tied it to his ankle. He stood up and started to run towards the horse stable. Muahado was there, brushing his horse. When he saw Atem, he bowed his head and said, "Greetings my Pharaoh." He blinked and said, "Shouldn't you be at the ball?"

Atem ran past him and said, "Melody was captured. I have to find her-" He stopped when Muahado grabbed his arm. Atem shook it off, saying, "Let me go, Muahado! If I don't go, she'll die!" Muahado did so, and looked down. Atem jumped on the horse and followed the path of footprints that led to Bakura's hidesout.

While Melody was sleeping, she had a vision. (heh heh... i forgot about those...):

Melody's eyes opened wide as Disbound's blast headed straight for...

Atem.

Muahado dodged the attack, but Atem was hit striaght on in the back. Melody screamed and cried, "NO! PHARAOH!" Blood was spit out of his mouth, and he fell on his knees, cuts on his arms bleeding.He looked up at Melody and said, "Miss Melody..." He tried to say something more, but all he could say was, "I'm... sorry..." Melody sobbed and cried, "Pharaoh... no..." She sobbed as he closed his eyes, and fell to the ground,blood pouring out of his cuts.

The vision ended there.

Bakura smirked as he took Melody's limp body from his henchman. They were in a cave.He said, "She's... gorgeous." He sighed and carried her to a bed. He laid her there, and put chains on her wrists and ankles. He brushed a hair out of her face and said, "Melody... I'm sorry I have to do this..." He sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her hair. She moaned and opened her eyes to see Bakura sitting there.

She blinked and screamed, saying, "Bakura! Get OFF of me!" Bakura did so. She struggled, saying, "Let me go, Bakura!"

Bakura smirked and said, "Never. I need you here as an audiance." He turned around, his back facing her.

Melody looked at him and said, "What do you mean, Bakura?"

Bakura smirked and said, "I'm going to kill the Pharaoh, andtake you for myself." Melody gasped and struggled again. Bakura chuckled and said, "And there's nothing you can do about it, my pet." Melody cringed when he said that. She had tears in her eyes, and she tried to break free. She couldn't.

Tears stinged her eyes as she said, "You monster. I would never stay with you!" She pulled at the chains, suing all of her strength to break them, if possible.

Bakura chuckled and said, "You seem to have no choice, Melody. You're mine. You've always been mine. ANd now, look at you. You've fallen in love with the most powerful man in all of Egypt. Do you really think he'd care about you? Do you think he would spend time with you? Honestly, he probably forgot about you already, and is falling in love with another, more prettier woman. Face it, Melody. You're a commenor, and he's a Pharaoh."

During this speech, Melody's eyes went as wide as they could. She had to face the truth: She was a freak who could see the future, and no one could love her. No one. She was alone in this world, with only a Thief King to have truley loved her. She shook her head and said, "No... h-h-he cares about me, B-b-Bakura!" She sobbed and said, "Please... he has to save me... I know he will..." She hung her head low and said, "Pharaoh... you promised to protect me... you... promised..."

A giant crash was heard. Bakura turned around as the henchman that carried Melody fell to the ground, blood pouring out of his stomach. Melody's eyes opened wide as a sword was pulled out of the henchman. She gasped when she saw the holder, and smiled. It was Atem. She smiled and said, "Pharaoh! I knew you'd come!" She smiled as a teartrickled down her face.

Bakura clenched his fists and grabbed his sword. "Heh, so you came after all..." Atem smirked and nodded. Bakura drew his sword and said, "So, as promised, I let her go... for a price..." He chuckled.

Atem looked at him with hatred and said, "What's the price?"

Bakura smirked and said, "You're life!" He summoned his Ka, Diabound. Melody gasped as her leg chains were release, but her hands were in place.

Atem dodged Diabound's attack and summoned one of his Ka, Slither. Atem smirked and said, "Slither, attack!" Slither attacked Diabound, slashing Bakura's Ka on the chest. Bakura cringed and held his chest, some blood falling from it.

He staggered and stood up, saying, "Diabound... attack Slither's wings!" Diabound slashed ultiple time's at Slither's wings, making Atem's arms bloody. He winced.

Atem called back Obelisk and said, "Meet Ra-" he stopped when the Black Magician appeared. His face was the face of Muahado's. Atem turned around and saw Mana and Muahado's limp body.

Mana waved and said, "Master-sama transferred his soul into his Ka. It's a temperary spell, so now he can help!" She smiled. Melody smiled at her. She looked at Muahado (his Ka...I'm calling his KaMuahado until the spell wears off.)and saw it was him. She sat up, the chains preventing her from leaving the bed. Her curly brown hair was starting to become straight agian, but it still had curls. She winced as the chains restrained her from getting up.

Atem looked at her and smiled warmly, as if to say, "I'll save you, so just wait there." Melody smiled back and nodded. Atem looked at Bakura and said, "Now, Muahado, attack!" Muahado raised his wand and attacked. Diabound's left eye was hit, and Bakura held his eyes with his eyes. He smirked and said, "Prepare to die, Pharaoh!"

Diabound flew to the ceiling of the cave and disappeared in the shadows. Atem searched the room, trying to figure out where Diabound was. Diabound reappeared behind Atemand shot a blast of dark light at what seemed to be Muahado. Melody could see there was an angle from the attack, heading towards a specific spot. Melody's eyes opened wide with terroras Disbound's blast headed straight for...

Atem.

Muahado dodged the attack, but Atem was hit striaght on in the back. Melody screamed and cried, "NO! PHARAOH!" Blood was spit out of his mouth, and he fell on his knees, cuts on his arms bleeding.He looked up at Melody and said, "Miss Melody..."He tried to say words, but couldn't.He closed his eyes, saying, "I'm... sorry..." Melody sobbed and cried, "Pharaoh... no..." She sobbed as his limp body fell to the ground, blood pouring out of his cuts.

Bakura ran to Melody's side and undid her chains.She didn't look up or do anything. She just sat there and cried. Bakura sighed and said, "Melody... Come now, you can stay with me... Melody..." Melody slapped his hand away as he tried to touch her face. She stood up, but she fell on her knees. She sobbed uncontrollably. She wimpered and shook violently, sobbing. Bakura looked at her and said, "Meldoy... please... stop... calm down Mel-" He stopped when Melody stood up.

Bakura gasped when he saw her face. Tears fell down her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with sorrow for Atem, and hate towards Bakura. She raised her hand, and slapped Bakura hard across the face. Bakura held his face in pain as Melody said, "Calm down? CALM DOWN? YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN AFTER I SEE THE PHARAOH'S DEATH? I JUST WITNESSED THE ONE PERSON WHO REALLY LOVED ME DIE FOR ME!"
She walked past Bakura, saying, "And you expect me to calm down!" She turned to him and said, "You have some nerve! Why, you were the one that killed him! And you expect me to stay with you? NEVER!"

Bakura looked at her with rage in his eyes. He raised his hand. Melody stopped, and the color left her face. Bakura smirked and said, "Diabound..." Melody's eyes opened wide in terror, as Bakura said, "Attack the wrench."

Authoress Blah Blah Blah: WOW! THAT WAS INTENSE! WOOO! lol. that was a sad, yet gory, yet... well... kinda romantic chappie.

Melody: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU KILLED THE PHARAOH!

Gen: (sweatdrop) umm... i never said he was- O CRAP! OOOPS!

Bakura: YOU MEAN HE'S ALIVE?

Gen: I never said that.

Melody: And now you get me killed. ME, your OC! HOW SHAMEFUL!

Gen: Hey, it's a cliffhanger. I never said if you were killed or not. This isn't a tradgety. God. (sweatdrop) lol.

Melody: LOL? ALL YOU CAN SAY IS LOL?

Bakura: Hey, where's that baka Pharaoh? (looks around to see if Atem would comment right now)

Gen: Oh, well, to make it more intense, I decided not to have him comment. That way, the reviewer's brains can start to wonder... is he alive... or is he dead...?

Melody: GEN! I DONT EVEN KNOW!

Gen: EXACTLY! (smile)

Bakura: oh boy...

Gen: Well, people, please review! or ELSE i wont update. HAH. then Atem can be missing FOREVER! (of course i wouldnt do that, for i love him with all of my heart and soul. lol)
