I was going to make a chapter like this before but I forgot. GerardYuroshi reminded me in a weird sort of way, so here you go…

Chapter 5 – New Enemy

Seto just got done talking with Asile and was now walking down the golden hall.

He was in a very bad mood. No one seemed to be cooperating well with him. (oh poor Seto) If Atemu was there he would have strangled Seto because of that 'evil glint' he had in his eyes.

Suddenly a guard came running up the corridor and stopped in front of Seto.

"Sire, Asile and…the prisoner…got away…they left the palace." The guard was panting due to lack of oxygen.

"What!" Seto yelled, fists in a ball and you could almost see steam coming out of his ears.

"Get the horses ready, or we'll never catch them!"

The guard ran down the hall to alert the others. Seto ran the other way to get to the stables.

He ran hard through some of the many hallways in the palace. He knew that the so called 'Atair' was really the Prince Atemu, and nothing would stand in his way of killing him. And to make it worse, Asile left with him. She was suppose to be here working for Seto.

Upon turning a corner, someone slammed right into Seto making him fly backwards and fall on his butt. The same impact was brought to the other person, except them, being light in weight made them fly farther and hit the wall.

Seto looked up to see a pair of innocent violet eyes. Set's eyes grew wide, losing the 'evil glint.' The owner of the eyes looked almost identical to Atemu. Except this person was dressed more finely and had a full belly.

"You!" Seto yelled. The boy looked at him in fear. He immideatly sprang to his knees and put his face to the floor bowing.

"Oh, your Highness, I didn't mean to…I didn't know…"

'Innocent eyes for an innocent boy,' Seto thought. Seto cut him off.

"What's your name?"

"Yugi, sir."

"Are you related or happen to know someone named Atemu?"

They boy Yugi looked up. "The name sounds familiar, but I don't know anyone by the name."

Seto nodded, softening his eyes, that glistened with compassion.

"Yugi, would you like to go on a search with me and my men? We're hunting to kill Atemu."

Yugi's eyes widened. "Kill?"

'I've never seen anyone get killed, let alone kill someone.' He thought.

Seto noticed Yugi's fear and said.

"You don't have to watch the killing. I only asked because we need more men to help search."

Yugi let out a sigh of relazation. He always yearned for a little excitement in his life.

"Yeah. Sure way not?"

Seto smiled his evil smile and reached down to help Yugi on his feet.

"Follow me."

And he did.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Seto and Yugi stood outside I the hot sun watching the guards ready the horses.

It had been an hour since Seto heard of Atemu's escape and time was edging it's way to two.

"You there!" Seto yelled pointing at the nearest guard. "Go get us something to drink." The guard/soldier nodded. When Seto said 'us' he was meaning him and Yugi

Yugi sat on a chair next to Seto. He was very board.

The guard came rushing back outside with two glasses of wine. One he handed to Seto and the other to Yugi.

The two of them sat in silence sipping the wine and watching the slow working guards/soldiers.

'Why is this taking so long?' Seto wondered. 'You'd think that with a hundred men plus me and Yugi wouldn't take that long to establish a horse for each.

Seto turned his head ot the boy sitting next to him.

"So Yugi, what were you doing in my palace?"

Yugi turned his head to the older teen.

"My father sent me to look for my sister. She words here…I think."

Seto nodded his head even though he wasn't really listening.

The hours droned by, and soon both wine glasses were empty and bow sat tipped over on the sand.

Seto looked up at the sky. Ra had nearly set and a few stars shone brightly.

Seto had had it! They needed Atemu dead for him to continue to be King. And these slow moving workers and neared the edge of Seto's patience line.

"Are you through yet!" Seto yelled at the guards.

Yugi nearly jumped out of his seat at Seto's sudden out burst.

All the guards turned at Seto's direction.

"We are just about ready to move out sir." A guard said walking up to Seto. Seto grabbed him. "I wanted this done nearly five hours ago! I want it done right now!"

The guard nodded his head, afraid that he might not have it for much longer. He ran off to the rest of the group and told them Seto's order. But they had already heard it and were now getting on the horses.

Another man walked up to Seto and Yugi with two horse reigns in his hands.

"Your horses, my King." He said while bowing.

Seto grabbed the reigns and handed one to Yugi.

"Are you ready?" Seto asked.

Yugi didn't make eye contact, but slowly nodded. He knew what they were doing was wrong. But he couldn't refuse the King of Syria and Egypt.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

After the sun had set behind the horizon Seto and his men decided to set up camp.

They built a fire and cooked delicious meats and breads. The aroma filled the air making everyone delight in the smell.

"Seto, I'm tired I think I'll go to bed."

Seto turned his head to see Yugi looking up at him.

"You don't have to tell me." Seto muttered.

Yugi fell asleep instantly to the smell of the food, a smile placed on his face.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The morning sun awoke Seto. He jumped out of his bed and walked out his little tent that was set up the night before. The smell of last night's food still filled the air, and his men filled the ground before him, but something else caught his eye. In the distance he saw smoke. Someone else's smoke.

"Could it be?" Seto whispered to himself. "Everyone! Wake up!" Seto called out to the group.

The guards on the ground began to shift their positions, and soon everyone was looking wide eyed at Seto.

"We must move quickly! I know where they are."
