Important: Hey guys thank you so much for the reviews! But I want to make a correction, in the first chapter I put "YamixSeto" but it's "SetoxYami" I'm sorry if you got it the wrong way.
Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 2
Fresh air swung through the calm nature. It seemed to wake up with the sun rays that were starting to embrace every single space of anything that may be in its way. The silence was broke as a series of little animals began to appear from everywhere. Peace and calm was made in the whole nature but it may not be that way forever. It may not exist in a future; it may disappear without anyone to remember it.
Weak sunrays spread toward two warm bodies, touching them gently but not preventing of disturbing one of the two young men's dream. Coming back to reality, soft eyelids revealed crimson eyes with beautiful depths that anyone could be captivated with. While sleepy eyes tried to realize where he was, confusion began to appear in the tri-colored hair boy's head. Nothing seemed to be familiar but the figure of a gorgeous man that had his arms around the young prince's body.
Just as his head began to realize what was happening the teen could only react in one way.
"What the hell!" he jumped out of the others lap, waking him with abruptness and getting away as much as he could (crawling as he wasn't able to lift his body by the impression and confusion he just got in the moment).
"Who are you and where I am! What have you done to me! You kidnapped me, didn't you! You'll pay for that, I'll make you beg an instant murder while you are kissing my feet and suffering the unimaginable punishment that I decide to impose you!" He said before leaving a disturbing silence between the two of them.
Seto stood up and started to walk slowly toward Yami. "What are you doing? Stop! I'm not tolerating that a sick person as you is worth of even being with me!"
"Look this is not what you think…"
"Oh, so you are saying that there is more? You will be screaming yourself to death just for having those things in your head, idiot." He interrupted the brunet. This was pretty infuriating.
"No! You brought yourself here. I have anything to do with your little trip from anywhere that you came from!" he let himself stare at the other's angry eyes. Yami stood proudly, not letting anyone get a worth to take control over him. They stare fiercely at each others eyes, neither of the two wanting to loose the battle.
"Who are you?" Yami finally asked, breaking the silence but not interrupting the battle.
"Like if I am willing to tell you."
"You know you have to, is not anything of your will you know…is mine."
"Yeah like if a baka like you is worth of my presence."
"You fool! For your own good I would tell you that I'm prince of Egypt, Horus in the nest, Ra's beloved son and I have to be the one telling that you can't be in my presence. "
"Yeah sure and I established the union between upper and lower Egypt. I don't know who you are and I don't care, but for sure that you are staying here because I'm not getting your slave ass, shame of Egypt, with me!"
"Oh you miserable man, how would I be pleasure when you-…Hey! Come back here! Don't ignore me you bastard!" Yami shouted with hate as Seto was now walking in other direction having the idea of leaving the stubborn and insolent child alone.
'What a kid! Stupid and arrogant brat; Punish me! Ha! A mere slave isn't considered well enough of even a glare from me.' Seto irritably thought.
He was just going down a hill when he felt a pair of arms and legs around him, lost balance and rolled abruptly down. He figured that it was the little slut that threw him and was now trying to hurt him in their way down.
"You fucking bastard! Ra will punish you for kidnapping and insulting his beloved son!"
"Don't insult the prince that way, mere slave! You have no right of calling yourself royal! The prince is an honored person, don't you, a little slut of a thief, dare of declaring yourself Horus in the nest!"
"You are not worth of talking to me hemt!
"Yah himar!"
"Inu!"
"Shoujo!"
They finally ended their little insulting trip down; Yami left on top of Seto. Breathing heavily, the two of them glare deadly into each other's eyes, not letting anything to interrupt the new battle.
Their chests were now slowing down their previous rhythm of breaths, and the muscles were beginning to soften their rage but their eyes were always burning with hate. There were no words, no sounds just deadly and silent glares.
It was like nothing they have ever seen before. The secrets, the sadness, the wrath, the hate, the love, the concern, every emotion that can be registered in a human being but their reflection seem to hide something more, something mysterious, and something that a mortal won't be born with. Their eyes weren't normal portals to a human's soul. Such rareness can be considered beautiful, but they weren't; now that that beauty was the thing that will guide them to an unexpected and painful future.
"Who are you…?" Yami finally asked breaking the silence. His intentions were with less rage this time. The brunet's eyes seemed to hide a lot of what have been his life, but also the showed the determined and honored person that he is, making Yami want to know him better and in a more personal way.
Seto stare a little bit more into the other's ruby eyes, knowing that all what he saw from the beginning was true.
"I'm Seto, ex leader of the pharaoh's army, in charge of the royal manuscript and future high priest of the young prince." He said not distracting his attention out of the other's crimson depths. "Now tell me, who are you?" he say in a soft but demanding tone.
"I alread-… um… I'm a future high priest of the prince too." He suddenly thought of changing his true identity, it was not so convenient to reveal it, figuring that if he did so he may end hurt or something like that.
Seto gave the young prince a confuse look, he didn't seemed like a priest at all.
"Really? How come I've never met you in any occasion?" He lifted his well-lined eyebrow, asking for an answer.
"ahh… you see… I… never met you because I was educated and trained properly in other temples far away from the one of Ra." Yami was able to improvised his answer, trying hard to make it sound convincing for the other one.
Jeez… it seemed like if the formidable priest didn't believe a word of it.
"You'll have to prove it, but if you don't convince me then I'll take you as an untouchable slave." He threw, intentions truthly declared. Yami resist the unmistakable feeling of putting the priest in his right place - in other words to fuck him verbally (insulting).
"Sure. I don't have any inconvenience in taking the best of you."
"Uh-huh…care to prove yourself without being on top of me?"
The future pharaoh realize that it's been quite a while that their remaining position was a little bit disturbing, but lying about being comfortable on top of Seto's body, never.
He lifted his weight of the priest as fast as his movements permit him to. Now his standing position left him with liberty enough to stupidly unfold some of the creases that were made in his silk tail. His style was staying, no matter what.
When Yami finished getting of every particle that would make his style to ruin he found a confused Seto starring back at him in disbelief sitting down just a few steps away from him. He wondered what was so unbelievable to make someone like the brunet to see in that way.
"…What?" he asked, not helping himself in any way.
"Never mind… I guess. Are you going to show me or not?" he finally ignored the other's incomprehensive actions.
"Hmph. Just watch." As the taller of the two stood up the ruby eyed one was in search of something for a target, something perfect to show the sapphire eyed man that his skills were one of the bests.
"You'll see that I'm better then I appear to." There it was. He lifted his arm, clenched his hand in a way that his thumb was up and his index finger to point the blank area in front of him. His other arm was also lifted but soon was retracted until his hand was able to touch his shoulder. It appear as if he was holding an imaginary arc with a charged arrow, but it soon changed as in the arm that held the unreal arrow was now holding a straight line of energy and pure crimson color that ended in a undetermined holder and begin with a fine pointer. It was magic.
Seto notice the color of magic that the teen created. The power of magic showed a specify color for your strength, but in the 20 Nile floods of Seto he had never seen such a pure and pleasant color. It was beautiful but it also showed a great power. It was maybe a mighty ka, but it wasn't just for the color. His blood froze as he felt the immense power that the petite boy held. It was breathtaking.
Seto also held an impressive power, he was the best. Always defeating anyone with a big difference in their power, but this was not natural. The interest in the crimson eyed boy grew as he wanted more and more to reach completely the others soul and to know who he really was.
"Norxt fage!" Yami shouted, as he released the energy-made arrow. In less than a second its point was cutting a monarch butterfly, exactly in the middle of the body, with a dizzying speed. The deep red colored arrow soon faded in the distance, leaving a calming silence. The little animal was not in an easy distance. Yami's skills were impressive; Seto had to give the boy all the credits for that.
"And what do you think?"
'Amazing'
"Ah…yeah it was good." He tried to hide is amusement. "Now tell me how did you get here?"
"Oh yeah I was…wait, why do I have to tell you? And besides I'll have to ask you the same question but don't worry I think I know: You kidnapped me, planed to rape me and leave me here abandoned. I'll tell you something, if you touch me you'll be sorry for the rest of your life and afterlife! Besides, how can I trust you?"
"Because when I got here you were standing there like a freak, then you fainted and guess that I had to take care of you for the rest of the night."
"Uh-huh; 'Sweet'."
"Hmph. I have no time for dealing with a kid."
"Ok I'll believe you and I'm going to tell you what happened if you do so."
"Hn…" Seto narrowed.
"I…" he then remembered of the party, but didn't want the priest to know his identity…not yet. "I was with my father and he gave me a cartouche made of ruby. He said strange stupidities and I guess that he managed a spell on me, the reason I got here without remembering."
"Your father gave you what?" he wondered as he remembered the sapphire-made cartouche that his 'father' gave him before his run-away without reason.
"This…" he took of the necklace and hand it to Seto for him to inspect it more thoroughly.
The well-proportioned priest took it with care. The stone darkened. He didn't understand the strange similarities between the stones, but they surely weren't anything normal. He began to rub his index finger in the soft ruby but suddenly a pain burned his hand and finger. "Ouch." He faintly exclaimed as he left the stone fall to the fresh grass. The little necklace returned to normal.
"What?" Yami questioned as he lifted the delicate necklace and place it in his pocket, then examined the priest eyes. They were absent and glassed but they soon faded to normal as yami began to trace circles in the other burned hand.
"What are you doing?" Seto snorted as he took his hand from the other's touch.
"Your hand is burned. Sorry for helping." Yami rolled his eyes at Seto's stubbornness and let his gaze out of the other's presence.
"I didn't ask for it."
"Yeah, whatever, but that doesn't explain why and how did you get here." The false priest demanded for an answer as he ignored the others bad temper. But as he refreshed Seto the events of the night before (the sudden pain and the receive images about the same person he was sitting with.) he searched for something that won't be the bullshit about destiny; But apparently without any solution.
"You know," he prefer just to ignore the other, "I'm going to find food and if is possible someone that would tell us were we have arrived." He lifted his own weight and started walking slowly, giving his back to the crimson eyed man.
"Wait," he laughed nervously, "you mean that you don't know were we are?" Yami desperately said. "Okay, then explain and don't ignore me, how the fuck did you get here?" he also stood and followed the other.
"Hmm, I guess that it was a simple, how do you credulous people call it? Oh yeah, 'hunch'." He threw, not giving his sight to his smaller companion.
"You know, I really need to go back."
"So what? I'm not going to be your personal slave, just to have you satisfy with everything."
"But you are a priest, and I was wondering if should know something to find were we are…because I, being also a priest, don't know any cast like that and figured that you maybe-"
"There is nothing that can help us in that matter and I had for sure that the same magic was taught to other priests as well."
"Ah, yeah but as I said I was just …hem… wondering." Idiot, he will catch you! Don't ever ask something so stupid, stupid!
"Guess what, I don't know anything that can help us in our location but I do know that we are far from Egypt or, how many times did you saw this vast nature?" Stopping his track, Seto signaled all the green scenery with the shades of tall and life-full trees covering them and more that was stepping in all their surrounds, and then started walking again.
"Then, what are we suppose to do?"
"I'm sorry, did you say 'we'? I'm only guiding you for someone that would locate us but that's all; you are all by your own."
"At least we can work together. You know as well as me that magic frustrate us and we are not going to drain our selves to death by surviving for who knows how many time."
"Hmph, whatever." The blue-eyed priest snorted.
Yami rolled his eyes once again. He knew that the good-looking priest was just being that stubborn for not having control of the situation, anyone could see that, but he also knew that his nice side was brought…sometimes and for sure not for anyone but maybe Yami could be the exception.
With a bright smile on his face, as he broke out of his trance and ran to catch up with the fast pace the priest was giving. This was going to be interesting.

"Vaelgth nuska cik hintavdu cik wyrda qoexlt cik hierd gath." 'Bring within the darkness the destiny of the chosen ones.'
A tall intimidating form emanated a black aura full of evil as his hand stand before a well surrounded by candlelight. His black tunic began to move slowly with the deadly wind that began to brush against the candle's light from nowhere.
The well's water began to wave – calmly - the perfect image of two young men appeared in the water. They were walking in silence but they seemed pretty pleased with each other's - still foreign - presence.
The pale and ghostly face of the man revealed his evilness and couldn't hide the smirk that all the living feared.
"At last…" his deep voice sounded in the gloomy room, as his eyes didn't left the image that was now playing in the cold water.
'So long I have waited for their meeting and for the beginning of destruction. I still hadn't forgotten how my intent to ruin the god's will failed… I will taste power in a better way now and with more hurting. I can't wait for the pain to begin, but I have to; for everything to go as planed.'
"Dyrgoth vristeg hunhg zat she." The room echoed as the image disappeared and every candle went off, leaving the man laughing dreadfully and surrounded with pure darkness.

"Ziarda!" A light flung out from the hand of a spiky-haired person and hit a pile of dry branches, now burning with the magically started fire.
The crimson-eyed boy seemed satisfy with his no-effort-put-on work. He may not be truthfully a priest but the royal family was also taught in the art of magic. Guess that the priests receive a more deepened and intense practice with all kinds of magic. But, if a priest wasn't enough help, what is the thing that they needed to return – safe – home?
He sighed staring at the sky that was by now darkened with its blue essence. They seek all the day for any kind of civilization but found themselves only in a large forest with no one that could help them. But, if they searched all the say and found nothing that only meant that they won't find Egypt as fast as they supposed. Great, if they weren't in Egypt and weren't in a place near any Townsville, who would send them that far and why, if they didn't bother to steal anything from them? This for sure, was not a normal thing.
'What's happening?' Yami thought as he sat in the base of a nearby tree and buried his face in his hands. Was he beginning to consider the words of the one that called himself his father? Maybe, but he knew for sure that Seto wouldn't believe him even if their lives depended on it.
He brought his thoughts to the little cartouche. Did the ruby stone have that power that his so-called father seemed to fear? It was just a little, beautiful stone made of ruby, what danger or what power can be within a… precious stone? A beautiful gift for his birthday indeed, but being that stupid for even thinking that a simple and unanimated thing could risk their lives…
"Hey, are you ok?" Yami whimper as he heard the well-toned voice of the brunet that woke him from his thoughts. It seemed that he found nothing as Yami did.
Yami eyed him suspiciously, "Since when are you that concerning?"
"Since we are stuck together in a place with no civilization, with no food and with no useful cast that could get us out of here; but mostly since you started to freak me out." Seto grumbled, sitting down across Yami, the fire just dancing with the lithe breeze of the night that was now falling.
Yami rolled his eyes, "You know… it would be very helpful if we keep our moral in a high path, but with you helping in that way to hell for sure that we will live happily ever after."
"Yeah, like if talking of our lives would help us in any useful way."
"… That isn't a bad idea, and to be honest, from you, I would never have expected that."
"Don't act as if you know me."
"Well, you can start then."
"And what makes you think that I would tell you my story?"
The fake of a priest shrugged, "Have any other thing to do?" a smirk was form on the prince's lips. Seto opened his mouth to answer but no sound came from it as he only gaped.
"Think so. Well, tell me about your childhood, if you ever had one." Yami chuckled.
"Hn. This is stupid."
"I'm listening."
Seto sighed as he began his story. First there was no emotion on his words but it soon as replace with a profound feeling, like if he was living it again. Yami found himself interested on the high priest life. How he described his memories of his true parents, how they seemed too worried about his son, their paternal care and their undying love to him. Time passed and Yami listened carefully, paying every single drop of his attention.
"…and then I discovered that he was just my adoptive father. My parents die when I was a mere baby. But I still remember them perfectly."
"Yeah, I noticed it." Yami smiled indulgently, as he brought his legs toward his chest resting his arms in them.
Seto sighed, "I don't know why I told you this," He laughed pitifully, "there was no one interested in hearing me, besides, I wouldn't tell this to anyone… I didn't trust people that much, but you are… different."
The smaller one lift a delicate brow, "Oh, so are you saying that I have special threat?" Yami's smile turned to a smirk.
"Yeah, you wish!" Seto laughed sarcastically.
"Suuuure; It's late so I'm getting some sleep." The royal teen shifted his position to another more conventional for his dreams. "You know…"
"What?" The blue-eyed priest asked, as his sight was only left in the darkened sky.
"I like to be 'special' for you." He whispered softly with the other one hearing him clearly.
"Hn…"
"Goodnight, Seto." He closed his eyes, falling into a peaceful sleep.
"Goodnight…" He wondered why was he able to tell Yami his story, when he didn't want other's to know. He just didn't understand.
"Desfiarn." His lips breathe out as the fire went down and the darkness was now upon the two, leaving them with just the sound of the night breeze.
---
"I'm hungry." The tri-colored hair said weakly as his stomach made the statement more evident.
"Stop complaining, my hunger is also consuming me." The tall brunet said as they kept walking in search of food and people.
Yami close his eyes as he felt the sudden dizziness. "Seto… I'm not feeling-"
"Can you keep you mouth shut just for-" a simple thud was heard behind Seto. He didn't want to stop walking but his curiosity made him turned. His eyes widened when the lithe figure of the small frame that was walking with him was left on the floor.
Seto quickly went for him but when he touched the other's body something didn't felt good. Seto felt the urge to gag but it was suddenly replace by wrath. He felt hate, he was angry for some reason; Maybe, for someone.
Yami opened his eyes and tried to lift but he suddenly noticed the priest trying to help him. He was just a hypocrite. Yami's anger surge as he knew that the other man was just a fake of person.
"What are you doing you asshole?" Yami snorted as his eyes were fired with a defiant glare. Oh, he just felt the urge to kill the other.
"Trying to get the shit out of my sight." Seto narrowed his eyes; trying to intimidate the smaller frame in the floor.
"You'll be sorry jerk. I'm tired of your incompetence; guess that you're scared because you keep running away." Yami lifted weakly but he somehow started walking away from the other.
"I'm tired of your girly stubbornness. Get a life and don't bother mine." Seto also started walking, more anger surging with no reason. He suddenly felt dizzy, but it wasn't because of hunger. He suddenly fall to the grass fainting but he made someone's figure before all blacked away.
---
Yami opened his eyes trying to remember what had happened. He just remembered his no-reason fight with the priest, before he walked away and suddenly fainted. He had a strange and confusing dream, like if he wasn't in his body, like if he was in other's person eyes. It was confusing but his sudden black-out was strange because it wasn't his hunger the cause of his fainting. He didn't remember much, but he was still angry with Seto.
As his vision caught someone else with him, he tried to figure who he was. He had a wild blonde hair and a bronze and shinny skin. His eyes were violet and showed kindness. He was smiling as he seemed to notice Yami's awake.
"Thanks Ra that you're awake!" He moved closer to Yami and place a hand on his shoulder, "My name is Malik."

Some of the words that Yami and Seto used to insult each other are Japanese and Egyptian.
