A/N: Thank you once again for your reviews.XD By the way, this story is based on the manga version of the Egyptian arc. Just FYI. This chapter will have Pharaoh Atemu and the six Priests going through a normal day. Just information on Atemu and his life.

Chapter 5: Normal Day

"Your Majesty!" a short man called as he searched the vast palace of the all-powerful pharaoh. He looked frantically for the pharaoh as he walked urgently and into random rooms, hoping to find some sort of clues in helping him find his leader. As he turned a corner, he slammed in to another man that was walking the opposite way. "Owww…" He looked up to see Mahado, one of the six priests, rubbing his torso. When he saw that the man who ran into him was Siamun, the pharaoh's vizier, he quickly held out his hand and helped him up.

"Siamun, why are you doing running around the palace as if it was on fire?" Mahado joked as he walked with the frazzled vizier. But he knew the answer before Siamun even replied.

"Oh, Mahado, the Pharaoh has gone off and disappeared again right before the judging of the prisoners. I do not understand why he always runs off at these times. It's getting real frustrating tracking him down and dragging him back to the throne room." Beads of sweat shone on the adviser's face as he continued to search for the disappeared Pharaoh. Mahado just smiled as he thought of how his friend always hated those kinds of things and how much he would try to get out of doing them.

"…umm…I might know the whereabouts of the Pharaoh, Siamun…but I'm not exactly sure…" Mahado said in a low voice. "Well, why didn't you tell me before? Take me to him, Mahado." The priest just sighed as he led Siamun towards the Royal Orchard. He stopped in front of a large oak tree before calling up, "Pharaoh, Siamun is here to see you."

A young Egyptian jumped down from the heights of the tree and stood in front of Siamun and Mahado. His spiked up, tri-colored hair and his crimson eyes made him attractive to say the least. The Pharaoh looked sheepishly at his advisor after shooting daggers at Mahado. "Urgh…hello, Siamun. It's such a nice day today, huh?" He grinned at the furious advisor who stared at him with disapproval.

"Young Pharaoh, you know better than to run off from your duties. The very thought of it! I'm afraid you'll have to go back." Siamun nagged the Pharaoh. The ruler looked to the ground, not wanting to show his discomfort of being scolded by his vizier. Mahado watched silently as Siamun continued to give the Pharaoh the "talk". Suddenly, another priest walked towards the group swiftly.

"So, the Pharaoh was in his little garden again, eh?" A golden rod glimmered off of his belt as he smirked at the Pharaoh. "What do you want, Seto?" the Pharaoh growled silently at his cousin. He wasn't in the mood to be humiliated by both Seto and Siamun in the same day. "Oh, just wondering why the "great" Pharaoh wasn't at the throne doing his job. Maybe someone should replace you, Atemu." Seto sneered as he watched his younger cousin blush a shade of red. "Nobody is replacing anybody, and you know that Priest Seto," Siamun quickly cut in. He knew that if provoked, the Pharaoh would start another Shadow Game. There just wasn't enough time for that right now.

"We must hurry to the other priests and continue the judging of the wicked," he said in a professional manner. "Afterwards we will have a mock duel between the priests, how does that sound?" Siamun knew he said the right thing because Atemu immediately perked up after hearing that. "Ok, Siamun. Let's hurry up and get this over with."

"You'd better watch yourself, Seto. I'll see you at the throne room." Atemu whispered dangerously athis cousinbefore following his vizier. Seto just sneered quietly, but seeing the dangerous spark in the Pharaoh's crimson eyes told him that he was going to get his ass kicked.

So, what you think? My next update might take some time 'cause I'm trying to make my chapters longer. And I'm experiencing some writer's block, trying to describe the different scenarios I think up of. Don't worry though, I won't abandon this story.n.n (Note I said "might")
