Chapter ten- The wedding dress

Pharaoh knocked on Yume's door. He had gone by himself, for he wanted to apologize for if he had offended her in any way. A girl, not Yume opened the door. She immediately dropped the material that she had in her hand.

"Pharaoh! We weren't expecting you here!" She quickly turned around and clapped summoning about ten other girls. They all bowed, showing the Pharaoh his respect.

The Pharaoh held up his hand. "I just came to see Yume." He said, craning his neck over the girls to see if she was there.

The Woman holding two dresses spoke up, "She's over ther-"

"I'm not so sure if I want this one. He may not like the color-" Yume interrupted, coming out from behind a screen. She was wearing her undergarments holding up a formal wedding dress, made with expensive looking fabric. "Pharaoh! Oh my goodness, what are you doing here?" She asked, quickly covering herself up with the dress.

"I came to talk to you… What are you doing?" He asked, as the wedding dress people left the room.

"I'm trying on a wedding dress." Yume said, blushing, and covering herself up even more with the wedding dresses. She hated this revealing piece of cloth.

Pharaoh Yugi looked her over, "You're trying on a wedding dress? Does that mean you accept my proposal?" His face brightening up from his confusion. He smiled, and walked over to her. "This makes me so happy! I can't believe it… how many children do you want, I was thinking of starting off with ten boys, a couple of girls-"

Yume interrupted, "Pharaoh. We're not getting married."

"We aren't?" Pharaoh asked, his smile wilting off his face. "Then why are you trying on wedding dresses?"

Yume covered her mouth. "He didn't tell you? Oh my! No wonder you thought-…Seto and I are getting married."

Pharaoh glared at the blue eyes white dragon, who was yawning in the corner. "Explain."

Yume led the Pharaoh over to Seto's bed and sat down next to him. "Right after our meeting, I walked out… I have admit, being proposed to by one of the most powerful beings I've ever had the pleasure to meet… well I was a bit flustered. Seto interrogated me and, I told him that you asked for my… hand in marriage. But then I told him that I didn't want to marry you-Not that you aren't a wonderful man or anything. I told him I was in love with him, and he too told me that he was in love with me all these years… and then, well here we are." Yume frowned, "He was supposed to tell you about it. He said he would… He must be having a fit about you asking me, that he'd tell you right before the wedding." She looked at him, "Please don't punish him Pharaoh… he doesn't mean to be a grouch…he just is. I'll-"

Pharaoh put a finger to her lips, "I've been with Seto for a long time now. Don't worry… I understand completely what he's like. I give you Pharaoh's best wishes. And I apologize if I upset you in any way." His hand moved off her lips and onto her cheek. He frowned as tears formed in her eyes.

Yume smiled as she took his hand off her face, "Thank you." She said smiling. Yume hugged him tightly. "Thank you Pharaoh." She let go and wiped her eyes. "I need to know. Which do you like." She asked holding up a couple of dresses.

The Pharaoh smiled as he picked up a white one. "This one." He said smiling, he looked up at Yume, seriousness in his eyes. "Yume. Will you help me find a bride as well? Possibly someone from your tribe?"

Yume blushed, to be asked such a task was such an honor. She smiled quickly and grabbed Pharaoh's free hand, "Of course Pharaoh, you are one of my dearest friends…" Yume tried to remember if there were any girls would be suitable for the Pharaoh. Her mind quickly flew to Tea. Tea was the best girl for the job if Pharaoh wanted a sweet and kind bride. Yume wondered if she was all right, if those bandits had gotten herself, it was possible that they had taken Tea as well, "The only problem Pharaoh is, I have no idea where my village is… Bakura traveled there once. I could ask around, and see if I can find where it is."

Pharaoh shook his heads, "I will have my maidens ask around, they run many errands for me and have many friends." He stood up and thanked Yume before he left the room in a brisk walk. When he came to his room, Seto was standing outside the door waiting for him. "Seto? What is it you need?" Yugi asked hiding the humor in his voice, Seto looked so embarrassed.

Seto was blushing so furiously, 'I should have had Yume tell the Pharaoh this. This is so embarrassing…' "I want to invite you to my wedding."

Pharaoh raised an eyebrow, it was payback time. "Wedding? Who are you getting married to Seto?"

Seto stared at him, "Yume…"

"Ah… so, when is this wedding?" The Pharaoh asked, amusement playing in his voice.

Seto could tell he was playing with him, "Tonight, as soon as the sun sinks into the Nile. We will be married on a boat… in public."

"Perhaps then those fan women of yours will leave you alone." Yugi said with a small chuckle. "I'd be happy to attend Seto. I shall be there. Tell Yume I think she looks beautiful in the white dress, no matter what she says." Before he let that comment sink into Seto's brain, he disappeared into his room.

Seto blushed even deeper, 'He knew all along! I can't believe him!' He quickly walked into his room, and locked the door behind him. Turning around he froze when he saw Yume. She had on her wedding dress, white as a rare Nile flower. He walked up to her and gently tucked her hair behind her ear making her blush.

"I don't know if this dress looks good on me Seto…" Yume said, avoiding his lustful eyes.

Seto, who had his hand on her cheek, ran a finger along her jaw bone and lifted her face making her look into his eyes. "You look so beautiful… I don't know if I can wait until after the wedding to place you on that bed."

Yume blushed ever deeper, "Seto… We can't until after the wedding… It's not moral."

Seto smirked as he leaned over to kiss her, "Fine, but you wouldn't mind if I stole a couple of kisses before the wedding…"

Yume smiled, despite her face was growing redder by the second, "I don't think that would harm anyone…" She placed her hand on Seto's cheek as she felt his lips on hers.
