NO WAY! lol. although all ofthe people whoread are special to me, there is NO WAY i am going to pay $1.25a min to go online. PLEAZ! lol. and, also, beforelast week, well, I was reading other stories, like the story "Life at my House" by Seto's Princess. Go to her stories for a good laugh! trust me, I was falling off of my chair laughing from "Life at My House Christmas." FRUITCAKE!

Bakura: o.O;;;

Melody: ...?

Gen: Uhh... i forgot what I was gonna say. Oh, i remember now. I was gonna say that Bakura is really dead. HOORAY!

Bakura: T.T meanie...

Gen: aww, poor Bakura... lol. XP

Gen's Mom: GENEVIEVE! Time for breakfast!

Gen: MAMA! IM WRITING MY- (Gen's Mom gives her evil stare) ACK! OKAY! OKAY!Atem, you can write the usual stuff I do.

Atem: Okay... o.O;;... but shouldn't Melody do it?

Melody: aww, Pharaoh, you have fun! Do it!

Atem: All right...

Recap (done by Atem himself) : Well... lets see... Oh, well, the last I can remember is that when I woke up,I heard Bakura announce his attack on Melody. Being the smart Pharaoh I am, I told Silfer to block the attack. My energy was strangely revived. Thank's to Muhado, anyway. He was his Ka now. weird. o well. Then, Bakura and I went into this battle, and i sacrificed Silfer to summon Ra. My Ba was almost gone, until Melody sacrificed some of hers to keep me alive. I respect her for that. anyway, Ra was summoned, and he destroyed Diabound, killing Bakura. HUZZAH!

Bakura: huzzah...?

Melody: o shush.

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 Atem): Umm... Gen doesnt own Yu-Gi-Oh!. She only owns her OC, Melody.

Gen: (rubs belly) okay, im done eating. lol. I'll write now! YAY! lol. And thank you to all of my lovely reviewers! I'm glad you all liked it!YAY!


Chapter 9: "I have choosen her"

Melody hugged Atem tighter, scared of all of the blood that was on the floor from Bakura. Atem stood up, Melody clinging on to him. Atem stroked her hair, saying, "It's all right now, Miss Melody... I'll protect you..." Melody sobbed and then cried on him, feeling safer than she ever had in her life. She felt protected when she was near Atem, and she knew he cared about her more than a friend. Mana saw this scene, and Muahado went into his stone tablet. Mana smiled and walked towards the exit. She got on her horse and rose off, giving Melody and Atem privacy. Melody hugged Atem tighter, not wanting him toletgo. She gasped when a vision came to her mind.


Melody looked away and said, "Atem... if you truley care about me this way, then I shouldn't hide anything from you. So..." She looked at him and said, "I've been hiding something from you for a long time. I'm sorry I never told you about it."

Atem looked at her and nodded, saying, "You can tell me anything, Melody. I won't judge you about it." Melody smiled and nodded.

She sighed and said, "Well... you see..." She sighed and said, "When I was little, I was born with a gift... or a curse." Atem looked at her strangely. Melody looked away and said, "It was never that much of a problem, but... my mother rejected me." Atem's eyes opened wide. He was about to reach his hand towards her to hold her, but he backed out, so she could finish her story. Melody wiped a tear away from her eyes and said, "She killed herself. And my father died from being a guard for... your father." Atem looked away as she said, "He risked his life for a priest. I was an orphan, a hungry orphan. I traveled out of Egypt and came across Rome, where there was delicious food. I stole a lot ofit, and I got caught. The Emperor was entrigued by how I looked. I was wipped and kept as a pleasure slave." Atem's eyes widened with rage. Melody smiled and said, "I always knew when they would use me, so I would hit them and kick them. I refused to be abused. So, they never had their way with me." Atem looked at her and smiled at her. She sighed and said, "Then, I was sent to you.And you know the rest."

Atem looked at her and said, "How did you know when they would use you?" He was puzzled.

Melody looked at him and said, "Atem... my secret... is..." She looked down and said, "I have the gift to see the future." Atem stared in disbelief at her. She looked down and said, "I saw when they were going to take me. I saw when I would be given to you. I saw that you were going to possibly kiss me when I was unconscious. I saw you kiss me in the garden. While I saw sleeping, I saw you get hit by Diabound's blast. And I saw me telling you this. I saw it all!" She fell on her knees, tears falling down her cheeks. "And... and now I'm afraid you'll rejectme,like my mother did, like my fatherdid, like everybody I told mysecret to!"She sobbed sadly, but then gasped when Atemknelt down beside her.. He kissed her cheek, using his lips to wipe a tear away.

He looked at her passionatly and said, "Melody... I would never reject you..." He leaned in towards her face. Melody blushed and leaned in too, hearing Atem say...


Her vision ended, and she gasped. Atem looked at her and said, "Everything okay, Miss Melody?" Melody nodded. Atem sighed and said, "We should go..." Melody nodded and let go of him. Atem took her hand, and led her to his horse. He jumped on, and the grabbed Melody's waist from the horse. Melody blushed as he lifted her onto the horse. Atem turned back to his horse and said, "You should hold onto me, so you dont fall off." Melody nodded and blushed. She wrapped her arms around Atem's waist, pushing herself closer to him, so her body touched his back.

Atem blushed as she laid her head on his shoulder, saying, "Thank you... Pharaoh..." she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Atem blushed and made the horse go to a fast gallop, Atem steering the horse towards his home. He looked up at the sky and saw the stars twinkeling at him and Melody, making Atem wonder what Melody was dreaming about. He looked at Melody and saw her smiling in her sleep. Atem blushed and said, "Melody... what are you thinking about?" He sighed and looked ahead of him. He saw the palace, and saw the people leaving the palace. The ball was over since Atem wasnt there, so they had to leave. But as he came closer, the people saw him and bowed in respect.

Atem stopped the horse and saw them all bowing at him. He tried to get off of the horse, but remembered Melody was sleeping. He blushed as he unwrapped her hands from him. He lifted her head off of him and got off of the horse, cathing her limp body before it fell. He took her off and carried her bridal style. The guests looked at him doing this, murmering to each other, saying, "Is this what he was doing?" and, "Did he rescue this girl?" and some even said, "Was he having his way with her?" Mana was in the crowd, and she was smiling. She walked to the front of the crowd and saw Atem with Melody. She smiled and said, "He really does love her..." Two men next to her stared at her strangely. Mana smiled and said, "And... she loves him."

Atem looked passionatly at Melody and said, "Miss Melody..." He stroked brown hair from her face, saying, "I'm happy you're safe." He smiled. Some girls gasped jealously, while others started to cry. Atem blinked and looked at the crowd. Girls looked at him with lust in their eyes, while others were sobbing.

Atem gasped when Isis said to him, "Have you choosen this girl, Pharaoh?" Isis was standing next to Mana, where Seto was standing, smirking.

Atem looked at Melody's face, and said, "Yes. I have choosen her." Girls gasped, and started crying. Men comforted the girls. Mana smiled. She lifted her hands and started clapping. Seto joined her, as well as Isis and the other priests. Men smiled and clapped at Atem, as well as some girls. Seto summoned Muahado, who clapped along with the crowd, smiling proudly at Atem. Atem started walking towards the palace, carrying the sleeping Melody. The crowd moved out of the way from Atem, watching him with Melody, the woman he has choosen to be his bride. He walked in the palace, the doors closing behind him.The people stopped clapping. and girls began to wail with saddness. Men smiled and comforted them,hopingto make the girls like them.Isis, Seto, and Mana went in the palace, going their seperate ways.

Meanwhile, Atem had brought Melodyto herroom and had laid her on her bed. He stroked herhair passionatly, hoping she would wake up. He finally gaveup and laid his head on her chest,falling asleep on her. That night, they both dreamed about each other.
