You two are the best! Thanks, the setting just came to me when I was watching Yugioh one day, weird huh?
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh.
"We'll Meet Again""So Hotano, how has Pharaoh Senusret been doing in South Egypt?" the pharaoh asked while reaching over to pick a chicken wing.
"He is still very strict and cunning, much like his son." Hotano replied, accepting a drink bought on a golden platter by a servant.
"He has a son?" the queen asked.
"Yes, Prince Seto. But he seems to have taken a liking to Anzu."
"Who did father," a gentle voice questioned. They all turned around and saw a magnificent sight. There stood Anzu, dressed in a blue dress with golden strips going across her chest and across the bottom of her dress. The top wrapped around her neck and went down her arms. Her silky brown hair was tied up in a bun with a few loose strands hanging down in curls. She had no makeup on, but she showed rare natural beauty on her perfect face.
"A-Anzu?" her father said. "You look, absolutely perfect!" Anzu blushed.
"Thank you father," she said as she sat down next to Hotano. "But no, Seto does not like me. Just because he chose me as his personal dancer, servant, healer and cook, does not mean that I have grown favor in his eyes."
Hotano sweatdropped. " Anzu, you just gave enough evidence that he does."
"Besides," the queen piped in, "He is handsome and powerful! You should be proud!"
Anzu sighed. 'I had to bring up the subject.'
After about 15 min. of eating and talking, Hotano asked, "Who was that handsome young man that was injured?" Anzu perked her head up, listening attentively.
"Oh, that was our older son, Yami," the pharaoh replied. "A long time ago, 3 soldiers from the south bought us a letter, threatening a war against our kingdom. Yami was only 6 and Yugi was 2. When Yami bravely stood up to them and said that they will never triumph, the 3 grabbed him and stuffed him into a bag. We tried to get him back but they overpowered us and took him away. We spent 3 years looking for him, but not one trace was found."
"But now, somehow he managed to get away from them, but nearly killed himself in doing so," the king finished with a sad look in his eyes.
"We thought that we would never see him again," the queen smiled sadly. "We raised his brother, Yugi, who resembles him so much as though he was him but it was not the same."
Anzu looked down. 'Poor pharaoh and queen. It must be awful to not see your son for so long.'
"Anzu?" Anzu looked up at the sound of her name. "Anzu dear, can you go check on Yugi for us please? I'm sure he misses you very much," the queen smiled.
Anzu smiled back. A long time ago, she had meet Yugi at the village when they came to southern Egypt to discuss he water crisis with the pharaoh of the south. They were both 5. They played together but both were very sad when Yugi had to leave.
She stood up from her seat and kissed her father on the cheek. The pharaoh clapped his hands and a servant came to lead Anzu to Yugi's room.
"Thank you," Anzu said to the servant as he bowed and left her. Anzu looked around the room and saw Yugi laying on a bed. She walked over to him and gently sat on the bed, looking at him. Yugi slowly stirred and turned to see Anzu, smiling at him.
"Hi Yugi, miss me?" Anzu asked.
Yugi nodded, "Of coarse, wow, you look great!" Anzu blushed.
"Thanks."
Yugi nodded. "Hey, did I hear that my brother came back?"
Anzu smiled. "Yep, but he's injured badly."
Yugi suddenly smiled and looked beyond her shoulder. "Oh really. Look behind you."
Anzu raised an eyebrow and looked behind her. She gasped. Standing there was Yami!
Yami walked over to her and took her hand.
Anzu watched his movements with her shiny blue eyes wide.
Yami raised her hand up to his lips and kissed it. He felt Anzu's hand quiver under his touch. He smiled gently.
"Thank you for taking care of me."
Anzu slowly nodded her head.
Yugi watched this scene with a big smile on his face. They looked so cute together and Yami looked like he was proposing to her.
Yami looked at Yugi and slowly let go of Anzu's hand.
"Yugi," he said, sitting on the bed.
"Big brother," Yugi smiled.
"How are things?" he asked.
"Just fine, but I'm glad that you came back. It was lucky that I was sick so Anzu was here to help you."
At this, Anzu blushed.
"Lady Anzu?"
All 3 of them turned toward the door to see a servant.
"Lady Anzu, Lord Hotano has asked to see you. He said that you and him have to leave before Ra makes his disappearance into the underworld.."
Anzu nodded and stood up. As she walked over to the door, Yugi stopped her.
"Anzu," he called. She spun around.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Will we ever see you again?"
Anzu smiled. "Of coarse we will." She walked along with the servant to her father.
*Outside
Anzu and Hotano was packing their bags onto their horses while the pharaoh stood with the queen, waiting.
"Hotano, if Pharaoh Senusret causes you any pain or misery, you know that you and Anzu are more than welcome to come and stay in northern Egypt," the pharaoh suggested
Hotano smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for the offer. We'll keep that in mind." He said as he helped Anzu climb onto her horse. He then got onto his.
"Farewell my pharaoh." He said as he and Anzu rode away into the sunset.
