Chapter Five

Ignoring the calls of help on either side of him, Seth walked across the bloody ground. It was littered with the bodies of his soldiers. His deep blue eyes were set ahead with all the hate he could muster. He ignored the pain that he was experiencing at the moment and continued toward the girl.

Elie, at the moment, was still tending to Mahaado's wounds. She had no idea that a menace was heading straight for her. It wasn't until her arm was gripped and she was being pulled away from her friend that she noticed him.

"What are you doing? I have to help him! He will bleed to death." She received silence in return. "Please? Seth.."

"Don't call me that! I am the High Priest!" He yelled back at her. He tightened his grip on her arm. She yelped but did not say another word. She knew now that when Se- the High Priest was mad it was best to let him get it out and not bother him when he spoke.

Elvis was shocked to see where he had taken her. She had seen this door many times. On it was the inscription of a Blue-eyes White Dragon. She had never been in this room. No one was aloud in there but Seth and the Pharaoh. Pure curiosity had made Elie ask about the room. Through her detective work, she found out it was Seth's own personal chambers but he would not allow anyone in there. Of course the Pharaoh was admitted everywhere but even he didn't bother to waste his time on such silly things.

"We aren't going in there are we?" Elie asked nervously.

"Oh yes!" He said and then pushed open the door.

It was dark. 'Typical' thought Elie. In between the pillars were sheets of dark cloth that kept out the sun. Weapons hung on every wall. It held a foreboding feeling that sunk into Elvis's skin. She shivered at the sheer coldness of the room. Black and white candles covered almost every surface except for the bed against the back wall. The room was perfectly clean though, not one thing was out of place.

Elvis hesitated at the door and pulled back, away from him. "I don't want to go in there!" He sneered at her and threw her in. She landed against the hard stone floor. He laughed and then slammed the door shut. He walked over to her and stood over her. She curled up and pushed herself back until she hit the edge of the bed. She gasped and then looked back up at him. He was smirking with evil glint in his eyes.

"I knew you weren't to be trusted! I knew you were connected to Bakura! The Pharaoh was wrong, I tried to warn him about you but he thought you were no threat. Now our soldiers are died and dying, and it is ALL YOUR FAULT!" He was breathing deeply at this point. There was no where Elvis could run. She was cornered and thats when fear started to settle. She pushed herself against the bed but it would not allow her any room to get away from her enemy. "Explain yourself!"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't work for Bakura." Elvis said in her defense.

"You seem to know him well though. You danced and talked with him. I wouldn't be surprised if you were his concubine!"

"No!" Just the thought made the blood rush to her face.

"A maidens blush. Maybe you weren't lying about one thing, but I know you are lying about not knowing Bakura! You talk to easily with him!" He accused.

"Its true, he has seaked me out before, but I did not ask him too! If fact it was quite the opposite, I asked him to leave alone, but he would not!"

"Lies!"

"I promise I didn't know him before I came here from the futu-." She caught herself but it was to late. Seth's eyes widened.

"What lies have you made up now?"

"Nothing. I meant to say that I didn't meet him until I came here from my old country."

"And what country would that be?"

"I.. um.. I come from..." Why was it so hard to think of all the surrounding areas from back in this time? It all came up as a blank to her. Panic settled in and Seth could read it clearly on her face. "I..come... from uh..."

"Enough of these lies! I will not take this any longer! Tell me where you come from!" He ordered her. She shrunk back again.

With a very small voice she answered, "I come from the future."

"What?"

A little louder, "The future."

"When did this happen?"

What! Elvis looked up and was shocked. His face was straight as he waited for her answer. He believed her?

"You believe me?"

"It makes sense. You are so strange and all the weird clothes that you wore and the strange things in your bag. They aren't from any country I know of and I have travailed often and far." He said. His tone was softer but his face still looked on with a severe harshness. "It does not explain why you were such good friends with Bakura on the other hand!"

"Bakura picked me! I told him to leave me alone!"

"Even so! You did not tell the pharaoh about these encounters! You betrayed your ruler!

"He told me he would kill me!"

"He says that to everyone!"

"Sorry but I am not use to it! You don't get your life threatened everyday in the future." She said flatly. He glared at her.

"What did you tell him?"

"Nothing."

"Lies!"

"No! I told him nothing! I promise." he eyed her suspiciously. She had to make him believe her. "I swear on Ra and the Pharaoh!" He thought on this for a while and then nodded.

"Fine, I believe you but I still do not understand. How is it you came to us from the future?"

"I don't really know myself. I was dueling and I-" She was cut of by harsh laughter.

"A woman Dueling! It is ridiculous! Even if it was in the future!" Seth mocked her.

"Well I was dueling! Against this guy... Jake..John or Joe something like that. I can't really remember anymore because it was so long ago."

"A likely tale."

"Grrrr! I was dueling and if I had my backpack I would show you my dueling

monsters! But it just so happens that YOUR pharaoh took them from me!"

"The Pharaoh owns all, including you!" Seth yelled at her. "But your story interests me. We will see about these monsters tomorrow but for now continue with you story."

"Like I said, I was dueling against this guy and he was beating me really-"

"Typical."

"Are you going to let me finish?"

"You may continue." He walked back to one of the golden chairs and sat in it, tall and with power. Ellie lifted herself to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Anyways he was beating me and I finally realized I had a way to beat him. And I did. And right after that I felt like I was being pulled through water very quickly and the first thing that I saw was a donkey."

"Thats it? Thats all that happened? Nothing else?"

"Well there was this light shining at me in a pyramid form..."

"Tell me more about this!" he ordered.

"I don't remember anything else!"

"You have to remember!"

"I can't! It was to long ago. It is all just a blur."

"Who was holding the Pyramid? Who?"

"I.. I don't know. I am sorry."

"Why would I expect an idiot like you to remember? No bother I will take care of this myself!"He stood and walked toward her. He lifted her up and pushed her to the door. "You will always be watched. I can't trust you on your own. I will call on you from time to time, so be ready. Your personal life as you knew it ends now."

"But you can't do that!"

"Excuse me? But I can do anything I want to!" He pushed her out of his room and yelled to a guard that was running by. "Guard, take you to her quarters and do not let her leave!"

"Yes High Priest." The guard spoke a deep tone. He the put his massive hand over Elie's tiny shoulder and steered her towards the servants quarters. "Where is it you sleep?"

"Next to the kitchens." She answered in a small voice. He continued to push her and when they finally reached her room he shoved her inside and the slammed the door shut. The room was dark and Ellie tripped over the tiny chair that was in her room. She fell to the floor with a loud 'humph. She felt her way around the room slowly and carefully after that incident until she came across her candle. She reached outside her small window and reached to the torch that hung out in the hallway. She stood on her toes and was able to reach it. When she brought the candle back in she screamed.

"Must you always react that way?" Bakura said as he put his hand over her mouth.

"Must you always bother me?"

"I see you have company tonight." he said ignoring her question. "They finally caught on to us."

"There is no us! You need to just leave me alone! It is bad enough with the Priest breathing down my neck! Just go away!"

"How can you be so harsh after all we have been though together. Come now, our friendship must mean something to you."

"Friendship? FRIENDSHIP?" He placed his hand over her mouth again.

"Do you want us to get caught?"

"If it would get rid of you, sure!"

"Ah, but you forget they would kill you too." This shut Elie right up.

"The priest is going to have a guard on me at all times, he told me I wouldn't have a personal life anymore. And! It is all your fault!"

"I wouldn't say such things if I were you." He said threateningly. " It was your stupid priest and his guards that should have-"

"Mahaado."

"What?"

"Mahaado, I have to get back to him, he is hurt." She raced to the door.

"He is most likely dead. My men leave no one alive."

Elvis would not listen she pounded on the door with her fists until they bled. Bakura yelled at her to stop this foolishness but she would not. Finally she caught the guards attention and he pulled the door open. Elvis did not care for the safety of Bakura at the moment. She hurried to try and wiggle herself out of her room but the guard pushed the door against her making the space to small for her to get out.

"You must let me out, I have to see if Mahaado is better." Ellie pleaded.

"You are not to leave! These are my orders!" Yet Elvis could tell that the man was sympathetic. He must be one of the guards under Mahaado's command.

"Please I have to know if he is okay or not."

"I have my orders." He then slowly closed the door and all of Elie's hopes were ruined.

"Shame really, you know that you can't leave. You could always come with me."

Silence.

"You really are no fun when you are sad. Come now, he wasn't that important. Just a simple guard. They have tons of men that could take his place."

Silence.

"I am leaving! You are getting annoying." Elvis didn't even bother to turn around to see how he would leave. She pulled herself to her bed and curled up on top of it. Mahaado could be dead and it was her fault. The High Priest was right, it was all her fault. She would have to tell him tomorrow all about her encounter with the Thief King. It wasn't long before she exhausted herself from crying and fell asleep.

In the morning Elvis woke shivering against the cold air. Her back was stiff and her hair matted. She pushed herself up onto one elbow and looked around her. Slowly the advents of last night came flooding back and she groaned. She then got out of her straw bed and moved to the small chest that held all her clothing. She pulled out her cooking set and changed. When she was done she attacked the mess of hair. It took nearly fifteen minutes before she could run her hand through her hair without hitting any knots. She would have to have Nara cut it again, it was becoming to long.

There was no point in stalling anymore, she had run out of excuses to do so. She walked slowly to the door, took a huge breath and then opened the door. In doing so, she hit the back of the guard that was standing watch over her. This was not the same guard from last night. No where close.

"Eh! Whacha thin' you a doin'? Stupad mut!Oh My Ra!" He belted out. He was tall and big.

"Oh sorry about that." Elvis whispered. She continued down the hall until the burly guard called after her.

"Where you thin' your a goin' missy?" He said in his dog like voice. He took a giant step closer to her giving Elvis a good sniff of what seemed to be a very strong alcohol.

"I am going to the kitchens to work." She said flatly.

"Oh... Yeah i guess that woo' be okay.."

"Oh thank you so much." Irritation shot through her like wild fire. She moved quickly while cursing Bakura, Seth, and Atem in her mind.

"The kitchens were busy as always. Now it held even more people because of all the new slaves that the Pharoah had pushed onto Nara. She was busy training the new recruits when Elvis walked in. It was hotter than ever and none of the other cooks seemed to care for the company that Elvis had brought with her.

Elvis walked over to the nearest pit and started to baste the roast. It wasn't long before Nara had spotted her.

"Oh thank Ra! Oh Elie we have so many people in here that just don't know what to do. The Pharaoh is being to kind with all these slaves he has given to the kitchens." Nara's voice was heavy with sarcasm's, although she would never admit to it.

"Sure, where do you need me right now? I mean I could just continue to work on the roast- Nara, hello, Nara? What are you looking at?" But it was clear at what the old woman was looking at. Not to far away, Elie's chaperon was torturing the female cooks with what he thought was his charm. The women were holding heavy plates of the Pharaohs breakfast and her new friend was blocking their way. The guard thought he was being funny, but it was clear to Nara that he was annoying everyone including Nara.

"Must he stay with you everywhere?" Nara asked.

"High Priests orders."

"I see." There was a pause. "You know, I really need your help with the um... the uh... the dishes." Elvis wasn't surprised. There was no way Nara could last all day with a guard in her kitchen that would be terrorizing the female cooks and picking at the food. Elie took a deep breath.

"May I at least take a plate of food to shut him up?" This brought a smile to Nara's face.

"Of course. I don't expect you to suffer. Hopefully this isn't permanent."

"Hopefully." Elvis said. She picked up a plate and loaded it with food.

"See you soon." Nara called after her.

"If I don't die of boredom first." Elvis called back. She then tugged at the guards shirt and he fallowed her out of the kitchen and to the other side of the courtyard.

"That girl needs to learn how to stay away from trouble." Nara said. She smiled, shook her head and then barked out more orders for the new cooks.

Elvis spent the rest of the day attending to the dirty dishes of those who lived in the castle. But that wasn't the worst part. Hour after hour she had to listen to the endless drone of the guard that accompanied her. She had learned so much about this man that she could have written a novel.

"... Then when I was 15 I first fought a man that was twice my size. I beat him easily enough and thats when I-" He rambled on until Elvis had finally had enough.

"ENOUGH! I can't take it anymore. I need you to just SHUT UP!" Elvis breathing was quick and deep, like she had just run across the palace.

"There is no way you a goin' to talk to me like tha'! I will put you in ur place!" He raised a hand into the air and was about to pull it down when a sharp voice cut threw the air.

"Stop!" It was Nara, saving Elvis once again. "Leave her be."

"And what makes you thin' ya can order meh aroun'?" He sneered at her.

"Lady Elvis has a guest." With that Nara stepped to the side and swept her hands up into the air and lowered them slowly for an introduction. "High Priest Seth wants to see her."

He stood up tall and proud playing his part in front of the bystanders. He wore blue today, like he did everyday. But the hat was absent once again. His hair was in place and he was well manicured. He looked magnificent. It made Elvis feel small. She stood there with her dirty rags that now had last night's dinner splattered across it. He hair was messy and her face dirty.

"I am sorry meh lord. I didn' know she was yours." He bowed deeply and then retreated back. Seth looked disgusted and Elie felt disgusting. The Priest did not answer though. He ignored the man and turned to Elvis.

"Out! Everyone." He barked. Everyone hurried to comply except for the dull guard who still stood at Elie's shoulder. "You too." Seth said coldly.

"But I must stay with the gir-"

"OUT!" The man didn't waste any time, he was out of the room as quick as wild horses. The High Priest looked annoyed. Like always. What more could this man won't from her. He stared at her and it made her shiver. She pulled her sight away from his and wrapped her arms around herself. She didn't like him seeing her like this, it gave him reason to mock her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

What the Hell? What was he up to, being so nice to her. She raised an eyebrow to him. "Yes, I am better now that the guard is gone." What was he thinking in that head of his.

"Oh good, well please sit down. Just be calm and this will go smoothly."What he was about to do, most people would freak out about because it caused pain, a lot of pain, if he wanted it to. Most people fought against it too, and that made it worse. He laid his rod on a table.

"Smoothly? What will go smoothly?" In truth he didn't care if she was hurt in the process or not but the information he wanted was videl and he would need to concentrate.

"Sit down." She didn't listen.

"What are you going to do to me?" she backed up further.

"Please sit down and this won't hurt a bit." She did as he asked and sat down on a barrel. He picked up the rod and moved in front of her. "Now don't move." She didn't.

His rod began to glow the colors of the setting sun. Elvis's eyes widened in fear but Seth willed her to calm. Slowly with the power of his rod he eased his way into her mind. Elvis fell into a stupor. There was no way she could lie to him now. He would get all of his answers.

"How do you know Bakura?"

"He visits me sometimes after dark before he robs the palace."

"Does he tell you his plans?"

"Never."

"Do you tell him about the palace, about the pharaohs riches."

"I only tell him of the meals."

Seth paused. He knew it wasn't a lie, but, wow, was the girl strange. He looked at her with a puzzled look and then continued his interrogation.

"Have you ever told him anything about the Pharaoh?"

"No."

"About me?"

"Yes."

"What?"

"That you hate me." Seth stopped. There was no doubt of this girls innocence now. But he wasn't through just yet.

"You said you are from the future. What year?"

"2002."

"These monsters you spoke of, are these them?" He held up her dueling deck. He had to talk with the pharaoh about using them. The pharaoh was reluctant to let them go but he did none the less.

"That is my deck."

"I have seen these creatures in battle. These ones are much smaller though. I will keep them for now. One last question. Are you and Bakura lovers?" He looked directly at her as he asked this.

"No."

"That is all." he placed his rod at his side and it stopped glowing. Elvis slowly came to. She shook the stupor from her eyes and then looked up at Seth.

"What did you do to me?" She ordered. "What did you do."

"Until we meet again." He said and then stood. He picked himself up and then walked through the doors. A swarm of servants entered and continued with their scrubbing. Nara was among them, luckily the guard was not. Nara made her way to Elie.

"What happened dear?"

"I don't know, he wouldn't tell me, but I don't think this is over yet."

Seth walked down the hall, he had something else to think about now. Another part to add to his plans. Elvis had turned into a greater help than he could imagine. All he needed was a little more time.

It had been a rough day, to rough. The encounter with Seth had left Elvis exhausted. Luckily the dishes weren't as bad this night and she was able to retire quickly. She dragged her feet against the cold stone until she reached her room. There standing in front of the door was yet another soldier. Why couldn't Seth just leave her alone. She sighed and pushed her way forward and then the young man stepped into the light.

"Mahaado! Your alive!" She jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Ouch, ah stop that Elie! It still hurts!"

"Oops sorry, I was just so excited." She let go of him and opened her door. "Come on in." He did. He entered the small room and sat in the lone chair.

"I heard you got in a bit of trouble."

"It's Seth! He just won't leave me alone!"

"High Priest."

"Seth is so annoying!"

"High Priest."

"Maybe if I wish really hard Seth will just dissa-"

"High Priest." He said louder.

"What is that your saying?"

"Call him the High Priest."

"Oh right sorry. Well today he did this weird mind thingy on me and now-"

"He used his rod on you? This is serious! Elie you need to lay low for awhile."

"I know. I know." She sighed. There was genuine concern on his face but she was doing all that she could. It was Bakura that wouldn't leave her alone. "Maybe you should stay tonight Mahaado. He might not come if you are here."

"Yeah I will stay." he said with a small smile. "I will sleep on the floor. I am use to it." He pulled off what armer he had and settled on the floor with his shirt bunched up on the floor underneath his head.

"Thank you Mahaado." Elie said as she slipped under the covers.

"What are friends for." Mahaado answered

Off in the distance sat Bakura watching the two of them. He didn't like not being able to get into the palace. This problem would have to be fixed. It was time he called on a old friend.

A/N: Okay that is the end, I hope is was long enough and not to confusing. Please review, it means so much to me!

Otaku22: Yep more Bakura, wait till next chapter though. More of the truth will come out. And yes Mahaado is Joey. I will try and get started on chapter twelve as soon as I can.

Starinthenight: Thank you so much. I am going as fast as I can I promise. Thank you so much for reading.

Purple-Dragon-123: Yeah I am not very good at all the spelling stuff and other things like that. I had made all the corrections before I posted it but I forgot to save it so it went up with all the mistakes. Hopefully this chapter was better. About all the gory stuff, I can't promise you there won't be more. Sorry. Mahaado is all good I am happy to report!

Vaporeon13204: I am so happy you finally read it. I was so happy when I got your reviews. It is a bummer we are never on at the same time any more. Maybe when the musical is over that will be fixed. As you can tell Mahaado is alive. I couldn't have him die, it would be to depressing!
