Una1, thanx for letting me use some of your oc's and some of your ideas. You're the best author and I'm looking forward to your updates. Especially the YLP arc.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! and Una1 owns most of the characters and their personalities except for the past life of Mai which is sort of mine and the child which will be later named as to not give away the story line. That is all.

Ok, I don't know if my other story is still being read or what but I came up with a couple of new ideas that I wanted to put on the page. Thanx to all my readers!

Please note that this is not a historically accurate fiction. It is fiction.

Chapter 1

16 year old Atem and 11 year old Yugi stood in front of their father the Pharaoh. He had summoned them for a brief meeting, neither of them knew what the conference was about. Poor Yugi was about to find out.

"Atem, Yugi, I've been thinking about your futures. Especially yours, Yugi. One day your brother will become Pharaoh but where will that leave you?"

Atem looked at Yugi who looked like he had no idea what was going on.

"Yugi, I want you to meet someone. Come out, my dear."

That was when she came out from behind the Pharaoh. She had blond hair that went to about half way down her back braided and grey-blue eyes. She wore a long forest green dress made out of what looked like velvet. She had a face full of freckles and she was pale as a ghost, as least compared to them.

"Yugi, this is Princess Rebekka of Ireland. She is the soon to be queen of Ireland because her father the King is fading terribly fast from a war wound. Unfortunately he doesn't have time to search for a suitable husband in Europe. But because we are good friends we have decided that you, Yugi, will become the King along side Rebekka."

Yugi and Atem were dumbstruck until finally Yugi spoke.

"Ewww, are you joking? She's a girl. I am still too young for icky girls."

"Hey, I am not just some icky girl. I am the first princess and heir to the Irish throne. If anything you are just a gross boy."

"You have no idea what you're talking about? I am not gross."

"Princes, Princess, you are dismissed." The Pharaoh said getting irritated.

Yugi and Rebekka walked out of the room silently. Yugi trying to think of a way to escape Rebekka and Rebekka thinking the same about him. Atem stayed where he was and spoke up to his father.

"Do you really think this is a wise arrangement? I mean they are both still young and especially Yugi. He's not ready to rule a country… or leave this one."

"Atem, I know you fear for your brother but just remember he has Rebekka and you two will keep contact. I promise. I would spend as much time with Yugi as possible if I were you because after their marriage they'll be leaving for Ireland."

"When is the marriage, Father?"

"After Ra sets eight times."

"Don't you think that's too soon?"

"Atem, my dear friend, King Arthur, does not have as much time as everyone around him thinks he does. The sooner, the better. Please do not worry for him. I believe there are great things to expect from him. You are dismissed."

"Alright, Father."

Atem departed the throne room and walked to try to find Yugi. He walked into Yugi's room but he wasn't there. So he instead asked the servants on the floor if they had seen him.

"Prince?" came a shy, quiet voice from behind him.

"Yes?"

"I know where Yugi is. He went to Shukura's (1) about 10 minutes ago."

"Thank you, Ryou."

"Your welcome, my Prince."

"Ryou, we are in private and in private call me Yami. You are my friend. I treat you as such and you should treat me the same."

"I will, Yami. Thank you."

"See you around."

Yami ran back to his room, dressed up in his servant's clothes, and ran down the halls to the door to meet Yugi. Not long after he left he caught up with Yugi. Yugi looked sad but kept his head held high while he walked down the dirt roads to the gambling tavern that Shukura had shown to them.

"Yugi, what is wrong?" Yugi turned around startled.

"Oh, Honored Brother, its you. Nothing's wrong… I'm just worried about you and Father. What is something happens to you when I'm gone? I won't be here. Father is giving me the shen (2) so how are you going heal yourselves with it gone?"

"Yugi, nothing will happen to us. Worry about yourself for once. I caught up with you so we spend a little time together with you going away."

"It's ok really. I'm just nervous too. I hardly know Rebekka. What if we have nothing in common? I don't want to marry just because I must. Although I would for Honored Father."

"Everything will be fine you'll see."

"I hope so." Yugi whispered to himself.

1-Shukura is one of the characters in Una1's YLP trilogy. You can find a description of her in any one of Una's stories or on her profile. Shukura also will be given a millennium item. You'll just have to read to find out what it is.

2-The shen is another item that is from the YLP trilogy. Unfortunately I'm not too creative with that kind of stuff.
