Hello I've come to bring you the gift of YAOI!

Daybreak. Great. Just great. Seto had slept in for two whole hours! It's not easy being the High Priest of an entire empire. Sometimes he would like to walk up to his boss and say, "Screw you!"

But that would be sort of difficult to do seeing as how he has been screwing his boss, leader, living god (whatever you want to call him) for a little over a year. Proven true tonight as well for his sweet angel was sleeping in his bed, curled under the heavy blankets. Desert nights can get to be so cold, in which case human body warmth would be the best solution. Seto got dressed and washed up. He walked over to his lover and gently poked him until he began to stir. A small groan came from below the blankets.

"Ugh. What time is it, Seto?"

"Daybreak."

"Why must you wake me up? Can't I sleep? Whyyyyyyyy?" Yami whined. He only whined around Seto because whining is not very becoming of a Pharaoh.

"Because I was told you have a meeting today. And so do I. so get up, we have a long day ahead of us. I know you like to forget everything when we have one of these precious moments, but as you may remember now, there is a war going on between us and the Atlanteans. I must help Shada and Mahado prepare our armies. You have to see Rashid, Duke, and the remainder of the council today. Don't ask me why." Seto was talking while putting on his robes.

"OK. But the meeting better be good." Yami got his clothes back on and walked out of the door.

During Seto's briefing, he felt a little out of whack. What was that meeting about?

And why wasn't he invited? He thought about this for the longest time until he felt a cold SLAP to the back of the head…

"Are you even paying attention, Seto?" Mahado snapped.

"I'm sorry. My mind is on a different subject….. please forgive me." Seto replied.

"You are forgiven. But I'm sure you would like to hear this bit of information." Shada stated.

"Yes?"

Mahado pointed to the board. "The reason why you should be interested is that we got word from your top spy before he met his end, may his soul rest, that the Atlanteans plan to move from the South to catch us off guard when the time is right."

"And?" Seto didn't understand. He wasn't interested.

"They plan to destroy every city including the young Lord Mokuba, your younger brother." Shada spoke up to catch his attention quicker.

"Mokuba!" Seto breathed his little brother's name so it was nearly inaudible. His chest began to hurt. He felt dizzy. He regained control to ask when the time would be right.

"He couldn't tell us. He had no time." Mahado replied to his question. He knew how much Seto cared for his brother. He'd die for him. But this was business. The war had to be resolved. Otherwise, the Empire would be doomed.

On the opposite wing of the Palace, Yami stared into the polished marble table. Where were they? And why did they spring this meeting on him? Not very good to their health…

Rashid, the captain of the guard, walked in, along with Duke, his apprentice, and the rest of the Millennium Item council. They sat down in their respective seats and began the meeting.

"My Pharaoh, you are probably wondering why we called you here?" Rashid asked.

"Yes. And it had better be good." Yami had an agitated look on his face, telling them to be quick.

"Well, you see, we know of your relations with the High Priest-"

"If this is about the time you told me that-" Yami was about to say something stupid when Rashid spoke up.

"Please let me finish…. Your father wanted you to carry on a legacy so he had arranged a marriage and you would get to know this woman in time?" Akhenaden said.

"OH, GODS! Please say you are kidding. My wife is going to be addressed to me TODAY!" Yami practically screamed so loud the palace shook.

"Yes. And here I am." The beautiful figure came forward. She was familiar to him. It was the chosen priestess Isis, whom Yami had known since childhood. "I was coincidentally the chosen holder for the Millennium Tauk, but your father wanted me to marry you. I hope I will be an adequate wife." She bowed down to show her respect. "I wish to give you this as a token of our new relationship."

Not wanting to be rude, Yami took the object. It was a necklace with a beautifully carved flower for the pendant. He nodded curtly and walked off. He strutted out of the room, almost as if he was floating. And he didn't know why.

Seto got out of his meeting when he realized that today was the day Yami was getting engaged to his mystery fiancée. Oh boy. He'd have quite a headache today and for the next few weeks. Well, it had to happen sometime. /Uh oh. Yami is strutting down the hall. Look sharp. Act like you know nothing! / Seto thought to himself. "Uhhh, Yami? What's wrong? You look different…"

He replied in a soft tone, holding the pendant that Isis had given him, "I'm engaged…"

Well? How u lik it? Hmm?

Luv all of ma peeps

Keeping it real . MEW!
