Chapter 6: The Guest Arrives

"Who is?" Seth asked.

"The one that my council decided to marry me to..." Yami said, still deep in thought.

"Marry? Have you seen her?" Seth questioned.

"No, I haven't. They picked her from a faraway land. They said she was of noble blood and very beautiful. Thats all I know," Yami answered.

"Do you want to marry?" the High Priest asked.

"No. I want to rule Egypt alone. I want to have absolute power. But the council says that the royal line needs to keep going. No matter what. Or we'll have to fight for Egypt because other Lords would want it," Yami said dejected.

"I see..." Seth muttered.

"Now to tell the slaves that she's coming. I want the Palace to be spotless for her arrival," the Pharaoh said and walked away from Seth.

*A Queen eh?* Seth thought with a strange glint in his eyes. Soon...very soon...

*************

"Listen up! All of you!" the Pharaoh barked.

All of the servants turned to their rulers with dark eyes except for Lelani and Yugi. Their eyes were bright in color.

"A new guest will arrive soon. I want this Palace cleaned. If it isn't, you will all be punished harshly. Do you understand?" he said.

They nodded. The Pharaoh's red eyes shifted to Yugi. "You will escort our guest and help with whatever is needed, understand?"

Yugi's violet eyes closed slightly, but made no other gesture.

"Answer me when I address you!" Yami shouted as his eyes glowed eerily.

"Yes, "my" Pharaoh," Yugi mocked.

Lelani's head turned the petite boy in shock. Yugi's violet eyes had changed into a dark purple. The Pharaoh growled and walked over to Yugi in seeting anger.

"Listen, you incompetate fool. I am your Pharaoh and you will obey me!" he hissed as he slapped the tri haired boy.

"Yes," Yugi said with a slight smile as blood trickled down his chin. The Pharaoh's eyes narrowed, but he stalked off.

"Yugi! What is the matter with you?" Jou asked as he looked at his friend.

Yugi's eyes became their natural soft violet. "I'm tired of the Pharaoh's arrogant nature," he answered.

"We all are, but you don't need to get yourself killed," Lelani protested. Yugi looked at her and nodded.

"Now to get this place cleaned..." Lelani muttered as everyone began to leave. Yugi stayed behind as they parted.

*A guest....I wonder who it is?* he thought momentarily and also went off.

***************

A month had passed since Yami's announcement and everyone was thinking about this mysterious guest. Yugi payed no mind to their talk because he was constantly being pushed around by the Pharaoh.

"Ugh, one more order and I'll die..." Yugi groaned as he sat down in a chair. Jou smiled at him.

"Aww, is little Yugi tired?" he teased. he recieved a glare from Yugi.

"I have heard nothing but the talking of the guest," Yugi commented.

"I know. Its all over Egypt. I wonder who it is..." Jou said.

Then they heard a loud noise, calling all of them. Yugi and Jou ran to the throne room without saying a word. The High Priest was there with a cold look.

"The guest has arrived. All of the servants are to go their posts except for you two, " Seth ordered, pointing at Lelani and Yugi.

"You two are to follow me," Seth said as he walked away. Yugi and Lelani exchanged puzzled looks. but followed the chestnut haired man outside.

Outside there was a crowd, guards, and elegant decorations. It was hard to walk and not get bumped into or fall on the ground. Yugi looked around. Everywhere he looked he saw Egyptians with dark features and dark skin. Once in a while he saw ones with lighter skin, eyes or hair, but for now he and Lelani stood out. Seth extended his arm to signal them to stop walking.

Yugi stood on tiptoe to see what was coming and got some idea. Men were marching in front of three camels with swords, darts and other weapons. Lovely women in revealing outfits walked gracefully in front of them throwing rose petals. There was one camel that had a petite figure hidden in a wrap. They stopped in front of the Pharaoh and bowed.

"Good morning, Great Pharaoh, Son of Ra," they greeted. A beautiful woman with wavy blond hair that fell down her back and violet eyes stepped forwards. She was not tanned like all the others, instead she had pale skin. The blond was dressed in a dark purple silk gown that showed off her slim figure. Bells dangled from her ankles and thins bands were on her arms.

"We have brought you your guest," she said and waved a hand. A man walked towards the camel that carried the figure and helped the person down.

The figure took off the white wrap and it fell to the ground with a soft swoosh. The person was a young girl with brown hair that brushed her chin, big blue eyes and pale skin. She was dressed in a deep blue gown with designs embroided on the hem and in the chest area. A pale pink jewel was on her forehead which was held by a thin gold chain. Her small feet were incased in sandles. A gold necklace hung around her delicate neck and her slim figures carried small rings. She wasn't as beautiful as the blond, but still lovely with her soft features.

"Pharaoh Yami, meet your bride-to-be," the blond announced, "Princess Anzu....."

^^ Hello, all of you. The plot will roll out after the chapter...err...I hope. I think you can all guess who the two ladies are. Thank you to all of my lovely reviewers! I will answer some question right now...

dark fairy7: ......No fluff as of yet. *sniff* I got an idea concerning Jou and Seto though....

pikazoom: Well, it is a Yugi/ Yami, but two people are after their hearts. And yes, Lelani is a Hawaiian name.

People are asking for fluff, but the fluff closet is empty. ^^; At least for now...I warn you. I stink at fluff. Hehe

Disclaimers: Yu-Gi-Oh! does not belong to me...
