mangaamine=huge fan
blushes Thanx! I really like hearing so well, here is your next chapter, I'll work on the next as soon as I can (which, come to think, is what I do with every chapter)
Pharaoh Chrispy
Dun kill Yami just yet, alright? He's way to good-looking to be quartered and burned or anything the like. Owh... a non graphic lemon eh? Hmm, I think you'll have to debate with the other readers on that... hmm, I'm not really down to a graphic lemon yet, just lots of fluffyness (which lunges towards lemon though), I really think there will be a few down the end or so... let me get back to you on this...
Strega
Yep, I have read the other stories, and to be honest, I sometimes find it boring, I mean, in real live, people don't match that easily.
sakurablossom
Hmm, I think you're actually right, he hasn't arrived yet scratches head owh, there's really no need to worry, almost everyone of the main characterline will get their appearance... I'm just unsure about what to do with Joey, uhm... read the author note on the end of this chapter, okay?
TJ
thanx! That's the purpose, isn't it? To have people like it... good it's working with you!
The lady winged Knight
grins didn't get your review a bit, but now I do. I was already afraid I had missed a connection in the story or something (I hate that; to write a cliffhanger and the next chapter doesn't synchronise on that, growl!)
Dun worry, I'm not telling what the future will be bringing...
Again, my humble thanks for all the readers who have taken up the unnoticeable 2 minutes of their time to place a review! awards plushie yugi-dolls to faithful reviewers
Uhm, I am going to pronounce a warning here... heads up!:
CURIOUSITY KILLED THE YUGI (sort of).... Violence in this chapter.
[The forbidden room]
Yugi slowly awoke from his sleep, his breath stopped as he checked for anything, or anyone, holding him, but nothing was there except for the blankets that were covering his body.
---
"Mighty Pharaoh, my apologies for waking you... but I have important messages from the almighty gods" Atemu lazily opened one eye and glanced at the man standing in the room, "Seth..." he slowly raised himself from the bed and looked at the high priest, "what is it?" he muttered and Seth shook his head, "I'm afraid we must go to the temple, oh mighty one" he watched as Atemu began to dress himself and his eyes wandered towards the bed, and the little heap that was hidden underneath the sheets.
"damn it's early" Atemu whispered softly to himself as he looked outside, the sun had just begun to rise, rising early wasn't really something Atemu could be cheered with, and if it wasn't for the fact that the gods had spoken, perhaps, he would be strongly tempted to let the priest be dragged off towards somewhere deep and barren.
"Se.." he turned around and immediately noticed the sneer on the high priest's face as his eyes were resting on Yugi's sleeping form. Atemu shifted his glance towards his life image as well (who had purposely pulled the blankets over himself) and he smirked softly, he could tease Seth a little bit "Yugi is a very sweet boy, so obedient, so helpful" he noticed how Seth looked at him bewildered, "he's everything I could want in a servant" with that, Atemu walked towards the door and grinned, 'or, he will be the servant I want him to be very soon' he thought and leaded Seth out, the high priest often had experienced the pharaoh's former servants, and he knew that they had never obeyed him... which was always an amusement to the ruler of Egypt.
"So I guess it's very important news that you yourself take the time to wake me instead of a slave?" Atemu asked and Seth nodded, "it seemed better that way... owh, I forgot, we have need of the mirror..." Atemu froze and sighed, "must we?" he hissed and Seth nodded carefully, "said that sooner, you fool!" with that, Atemu turned and paced back to his room, growling softly.
---
Yugi yawned and stretched, rubbing his chest as he shook the sheets off of his body and he smiled, "good plan to fake sleeping till they were gone" he grinned and looked around the room, deciding what to do next, "Atemu hasn't given me any orders, so I'm free to do as I want" he grinned widely and was just about to move off of the bed when Atemu re-entered the room, and Yugi froze as the pharaoh walked past.
"Stupid Priest" Atemu muttered and opened the large door, opening a chamber and he quickly snatched a golden mirror from its place, he knew the place of every item in the chamber blindfolded and he was back out in a second. He strode over to the door and left the room, not having even noticed Yugi at all.
"Hmm, am I invisible?" Yugi muttered and shrugged, bouncing off of the bed and he landed steadily on the ground, "I don't look invisible" he walked around the room a bit, watching the map of Egypt with awe, who had ever thought the land he lived in to be that big... but he soon got bored with the map and went to the bathroom to wash himself, "now the pharaoh isn't around, I don't need to be so alerted" he whispered and quickly cleaned himself.
When he left the pool to wash he froze as he looked at the door, the open door to the forbidden room...
-Atemu and Seth-
"Amun-ra, powerful creator of worlds, Please hear my call" Atemu watched how Seth attempted to call upon the god, "show the future clear and swift" at once, the mirror Atemu was holding began to glow and it then showed an empty temple room, but what shocked Atemu the most was that the building was ruined, destroyed by hands of man.
He gritted his teeth and stood up, the mirror landed on the floor and broke in glass shatters, reflecting his furious face in million versions, "I will not tolerate this untruthfulness!!!" servants to the temple outside on the grounds startled at the shouting and some of them dared a look through the windows, watching the High Priest and the Pharaoh in silence, waiting for the imminent calling of the executioner.
"My Pharaoh!!" Seth slowly kneeled on the ground as he looked up at the ruler of Egypt, "the mirror showed the future... please! ...you... my Pharaoh... you will see your cities crumble to dust lest you... lest you..." the high priest stammered, the eyes of Atemu had never intimidated them, up until now... the crimson orbs narrowed and Atemu growled, "Hold your tongue Priest!!" his voice thundered through the temple, "This land was built upon by my ancestors! My parents fought to keep it in one piece from barbarian outlanders... I WILL NOT LOOSE THAT WHAT IS MINE!! Egypt and its followers are MINE!!" With that, Atemu turned around and left the religious grounds, "Everyone who refuses to obey my command, will be severely punished!" he yelled, knowing that soon, the entire country would know, a fact he often used to its very expense.
"Pharaoh..." Seth whispered as he watched the ruler of Egypt walk away.
"Let him..." a soft voice was heard from the dark and a cloaked figure stepped forward, "I find it easier not to believe it as well..." Seth turned and smiled, "but... you cannot change destiny... we are mere humans and unable to do so" he removed the rope around the figure's waist and the cloak slipped off, "Theana... my love" Seth weaved his fingers through brown hair as he admired the woman in front of him, before gently kissing the female tenderly.
"No... we humans cannot change destiny..." Theana whispered before returning the kiss, she was a servant to the Pharaoh, but Seth had always loved her more than anyone else.
-Yugi and the forbidden room-
Many voices in his mind were telling him not to go, but he slowly felt himself decreasing the distance to the room, just 3 three steps to go and he was at the threshold.
Two steps left; he was wondering so much what he would find in the room...
One step left, he was standing in front of the threshold; Atemu had told him he could never ever go into that room... 'because it was locked.. but it's not locked now..." Yugi contemplated and narrowed his eyes, 'perhaps I could... perhaps it wouldn't be so bad!' he took a deep breath and stepped into the room.
"Owh!" Yugi let out an astonished gasp and he walked further into the room, "the objects here... they..." he walked over to a table and he picked up a child's rattle and shook it a bit, "these are all baby-toys" he then walked over to a chest and opened it, finding that it was filled with boyprince clothings, "these are from Atemu!" he looked around the room again and suddenly he understood the reason why he wasn't allowed to enter this room; it held Atemu's entire past.
"But... But why keep it hidden?" he whispered sadly as he walked towards the other side of the room, remembering the stern eyes of the Pharaoh and he noticed a stack of papyrus scrolls.
"Please... answer me!" he pleaded as he opened one scroll, it was a message to the people to declare the birth of the new heir to the throne.
He laid the scroll aside and opened the next, it declared the death of the Pharaoh and his wife and Yugi gasped, he twitched and his elbow bumped against an object and he hastily placed the papyri back as something fell on the ground.
"A ball..." Yugi slowly kneeled on the ground and he reached out, it was a golden ball which shone mystically in the eyes of the servant.
Yugi smiled softly and began to feel light in his body as he began to play with the round object, humming softly to himself as he became absorbed by the golden shine.
"WHAT are you doing?!?" Yugi looked into the direction of the blazing voice and a strong hand locked around his wrist, yanking the boy from the ground and Yugi felt how a hand slapped across his face "I told you not to enter this room, it was FORBIDDEN!" crimson eyes watched how the boy struggled in the tight grasp.
"Atemu!" Yugi cried out, a second hand grasped the collar of his clothes and he felt his air being cut off, "I am the Pharaoh for you, slave!" Atemu let go of the collar and turned around, pulling Yugi roughly with him and he threw the boy down in the middle of the hall, where the boy slowly tried to get up.
"Guards! Take him to the yard, fifty whiplashes for disobedience!" Yugi felt how strong arms grabbed his wrists again, streaks of pain indicated that they were seriously being damaged, "Let me go! Please!" he yelled as he was being dragged away, shutting his eyes in pain as a few locks of his hair were grasped along and tears filled into his eyes.
"Get the whip!" he heard one of the guards yell as he was rudely being thrown onto the sand of the yard, but he had little moment to catch his breath as his shirt was cut open by the guard's sword and he was bound into a kneeling position, 'what are they going to do?! Why are they binding me?!' his heart was beating rapidly and suddenly a sharp pain ran over his back, "awh!" he rolled his head back and cried out as another sharp pain put his backside in flames, tears dripped from his eyes and through them, he could see how Atemu watched how he was being put in pain, his face clear of any emotions 'cept that of rage, 'did I do... so many wrong?' Yugi bit his lip as he tried not to cry out, a pain formed at the back of his mind but more than ever, Yugi tried to push it away, admitting in the punishment and his violet eyes never left the face of the Pharaoh in front him.
Atemu watched how Yugi received the lashes with only soft inward mews of pain, he didn't scream or yell or plead like other slaves had done, the boy merely looked at him with the same innocent and calm expression as ever on his face.
'He disobeyed the rules, that's why I'm punishing him' he thought, but his conscious kept telling him that he knew the real reason... Atemu knew the truth, but like anyone else, he choose to turn away from reality.
"Lock him up in the second small room when you're done" Atemu said as he turned away, leaving the yard silently.
Yugi felt his lips tremble as he watched the Pharaoh leave him in his pain, 'no... please don't go!' he silently pleaded, how much he wanted not to; seeing how Atemu witnessed his pain was soothing, as if the man was his only pillar to hang onto, 'Atemu... why can't you, why must you?' the boy hardly felt the pain anymore as his mind was completely taken up by confusion and sorrow...
sighs finally... that is over. looks at audience I'm not intending on hurting Yugi for quite a long time, I just needed to give him a bit of spark for upcoming chapters. And for all the warnings in the summary, don't people agree with me that I'm putting Yugi through much pain instead of fluff? frowns not the intention, lmao, I'll have to make it up.
Owh! And a little request from this authoress to the audience that support me so well, in accordance to sakurablossom (he/she, she?)... Subject: Joey (Jounouchi) and his role in the story winches argh, I have to spill a little bit, owh well; He's a soldier in the army... and I reaaally want him paired up with someone (is somewhat necessary)... so...
