WOW I'm on chapter five already! Cool…. I know where this story is going and just to let you guys know I think I'm going to make a sequel (I know already planning the future) I might do that or this story might be really long…. lol

Thanks once again to my loyal reviewers! And my new ones! I love reading your reviews! I'm glad you guys liked the last chapter. I'm planning on making this chapter longer than the previous ones because I kind of noticed I'm getting in the bad habit of they get up then they eat breakfast go to the courtyard then eat dinner go to bed. So not wanting to stay in the loop I'm going to go out of the box I was going to bed when I came up with the idea so hope you guys like.

In case you guys were confused Yugi is from Lower Egypt while Atemu is from Upper Egypt.

By the way one reviewer suggested a lemon. I'm wondering who is interested cuz if enough people are I will write one. It won't be for a while I think…. But if you want me to write one simply say so in your review! One other thing is anyone interested in having Set and Jou in the story together? I think that coupling is kind of cute. I have a plot and I think I could use them but I want to know what you guys think. Here you are:

I still don't own Yu-gi-oh or any of its characters. Cuz if I did I'd be rich and thinking "Wow I made a good decision in making that show…."

Me a thief?

Two days had passed and every morning Atemu kept finding Yugi pressed to his chest. It had become a sort of routine that neither minded but wouldn't admit enjoying it. Every morning Yugi would give Atemu some sort of sarcastic comment but Atemu found them more amusing then embarrassing. Both had reached a silent understanding of the other and now Atemu found himself getting Yugi back.

"Comfortable Atemu? I know I was." Yugi got up from the bed and went into the bathroom while Atemu called back.

"Extremely comfortable my love I imagine we will both be more than comfortable after the wedding."

Atemu had come to terms with this unusual arranged marriage. He was now appreciating who Yugi was. Every day he spent with Yugi he learned something else about him. He notice so many appealing features that he had failed to see before. To Atemu, Yugi had the brightest eyes of any person in Egypt. Yugi had a large heart that he did not hide for anyone, and Atemu was no exception.

Yugi and Atemu were bored. They had walked to the courtyard as they usually did but there was nothing to do today at all. A woman stood in the doorway that Atemu did not recognize, though Yugi did. Yugi ran forward and hugged the woman fiercely.

"I missed you so much," he murmured. Yugi noticed Atemu's perplexed expression and

"Atemu, this is Mana. I told you about here, remember?"

"Yes, good to meet you Mana."

Mana smiled down at them both, "And you, would you look at this place? You palace is amazing!"

Yugi looked up at Mana with a questioning expression, "Where have you been? I've missed you."

Mana hugged Yugi tightly and said "Your father thought it wise to send me back to the palace to send word to the rest of the guard to watch out for the return of the raiders."

"I thought they were all killed Mana."

"Sadly enough Yugi they weren't. I expect there are more of them then what came to attack us. Getting on to happier business how are you two?"

Yugi and Atemu smiled. "We are just fine Mana, however we are bored out of our minds, right Yugi?"

Yugi gave a small chuckle and nodded. "Have any ideas Mana?"

"Well not that I'm the one telling you this but what if you went out into the city?"

Yugi stared incredulously at Mana, "The city? You of all people are suggesting this? Why would you…?"

"Let's go." Came the blunt reply form Atemu.

"You want to go Atemu?" Yugi looked up at Atemu almost excitedly.

"We always stay in the palace and you haven't been in the city at all. Come on it will be fun trust me."

"I trust you but what about our parents? They aren't going to let us go, you know that."

"Then we'll add some more fun to it."

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked skeptically.

"Sneak out, we can out through the courtyard the window is only about a 6 foot drop to the ground. This is the lowest window in the whole palace."

"I guess we could we just have to be back before dinner right?"

"Right Yugi. So you want to go?" Atemu smiled brightly when he saw Yugi's nod. Yugi gave Mana one last parting hug before going over to the window and jumping down. Atemu went over to the window then said his good bye to Mana.

Atemu landed on his feet initially, but all too soon he fell back. He looked up at Yugi's cry of laughter. Atemu pulled Yugi down next to him and put a hand over his mouth.

"SHH! We don't want to get caught now! We haven't gone into the city."

"I'm sorry Atemu, but I didn't know my lover was so clumsy!"

"Why you…!" Yugi ran off in the direction of the city with Atemu on his tail.

Yugi and Atemu had spent hours looking and laughing at all the things for sale in town. They were currently looking at a man's collection of wesekhs (1), necklaces, and pendants. Yugi was looking at some that seemed very familiar he whispered to Atemu,

"You know I would be willing to bet he some sort of Tomb Robber. These are very well crafted and look to belong to royalty or at least a noble. He might even be a thief, I guess he doesn't expect us to come out in the market, because he certainly isn't afraid of showing people he has them."

"Well we aren't really supposed to be out here but no one specifically said not to…"

Yugi laughed as they both started off away from the shop. They were about halfway down the street when a loud shout was heard.

"THEIF! He stole one of my necklaces! Catch him!"

Atemu and Yugi sped around and realized the guards were chasing after them. Atemu grabbed Yugi's hand and pulled him along the many streets of Egypt. It was quite some time before they lost the guards but once they did they sat on the ground catching their breath.

"Why did you pull me away Atemu? We could have explained to them who we are and they would have-."

"Taken us back to the palace to our parents. Make sense to you know Yugi? If they had caught us our parents would have been furious knowing we got out. Then we would never get another opportunity to. I don't know about you but this is the most fun I've had with anyone in a long time. Wouldn't you want to do this again?"

"Yeah I like being out here, with…you."

Atemu looked up at Yugi and smiled. "Then I take it we will be doing this more often?"

"I would hope so." Unconsciously Atemu and Yugi had moved closer to each other and were extremely close. Atemu looked at Yugi and couldn't help but think, he has such beautiful eyes. Before Atemu could stop himself, he had leaned in those final few inches and captured Yugi's lips with his own.

Yugi was anything but surprised, in fact he was happy. Yugi eagerly added more passion to their sudden kiss. When Atemu and Yugi finally broke away they both were sporting bright blushes. Yugi pulled Atemu up and they started to walk toward the palace. Yugi was watching Atemu and was pleased to see a smile on his face. A pair of hands suddenly pulled Yugi violently back. When Yugi cried out Atemu immediately turned around and observed the situation.

A man of tall stature wearing shabby robes had Yugi with a knife to his throat. Yugi looked shocked but unafraid he was struggling violently in the man's grasp but he stopped when the blade grazed his skin. The cut wasn't as shallow as Atemu could have hoped but it wouldn't kill Yugi.

"Now what do we have here? A bener hem-netjer? (2) Or maybe someone of a higher rank. I suggest you give me what I want before I end your little lover's life. If you try to stop me then you will have this knife through his ib (3)"

Atemu growled viciously but made no move toward the man.

"Name your terms iew. (4). If you harm him you will be my eternal kheftey (5)"

"I would chose your words carefully Prince, or I will kill him. You don't want that do you? I am a vulgar man in your eyes, only because I was not as blessed by Ra as you. I live my life on the streets in poverty. I am not a greedy man, I only want a small sum that will keep me living a healthy life."

Atemu was infuriated, he didn't' know what to do with this vulgar abomination. He had to do something he couldn't just stand here and let Yugi die not while he could help it. He had come to no conclusion as to what he could do when a voice suddenly called out.

"You will get no sum and you will promptly let go of the Prince Yugi or it will be your head!"

The man swiftly turned himself around with Yugi still writhing in his grasp. Mahado was holding his sword and was looking quite menacing. This man knew when he was dealing with trouble and Mahado was no exception. He promptly threw Yugi into a nearby wall while releasing his knife with an audible thud to the ground.

"I suggest you get on your way before I take you to the palace." The man scampered off, showing that he was a man who valued his own skin highly. (6) " Now I suggest you two hurry to the palace before your disappearance is noticed."

"Your letting us go?" Atemu asked while helping Yugi from the ground.

"Yes, but don't plan on me doing it again. Now Yugi is that cut bad?"

Yugi shook his head but he immediately wished he hadn't. His head hurt horribly from the impact into the wall.

Yugi and Atemu got into the palace without any trouble and were both sitting out on the balcony enjoying one another's company. Yugi was rubbing the side of his head ruefully while Atemu watched him with concern.

"Are you sure you're alright Yugi?"

"Yes Atemu I'll just have a headache for the rest of the day. I just hope our parents won't notice the cut on my neck."

The cut that Yugi had suffered wasn't serious but it very easy to notice. Atemu had come to the idea that Yugi could borrow one of his wesekhs and wear it for dinner. It was a simple solution and would make dinner an easy affair or so they thought.

Dinner was a formal affair tonight since tomorrow was the wedding. The parents were the worst yet for Yugi and Atemu.

"Oh the wedding is tomorrow! My son is to be married I am so happy. I'm sure you share my joy my husband."

"Yes I heartily do. Yugi will have everything he needs here. I know we will miss him but it is for the good of our country."

"Do not be worried my friend my son will take excellent care of Yugi. Do not feel that you are unwelcome in my house to visit. My kingdom will always be welcome for you."

"It sets my heart at ease knowing we can still see him."

Yugi and Atemu were trying to stifle their laughs. Atemu whispered to Yugi, "Miss you? They hardly know you!" Yugi had to cover his mouth and cough just to stop himself from laughing out loud. Atemu and Yugi were so busy preventing their laughs that they didn't notice that the conversation had turned towards them.

"Oh look at them dear! I wish that I were young again."

"They are blushing! So sweet, I can't imagine what will happen at the wedding."

Yugi and Atemu finally stopped sniggering enough to actually notice they were being talked about.

"So Yugi did Atemu give you that wesekh? That was one of his favorites if I recall…"

"You gave him a gift Atemu? How endearing!"

Yugi was blushing crimson but he replied in a happy voice, "Atemu thought I should wear something of his and I couldn't help but agree. I'm truly happy the wedding is tomorrow, then I will know everything is final."

"Atemu how sweet of you dear, well you two should get to bed for tomorrow will be an eventful day and night."

"Mother!" Atemu looked at his mother incredulously. Yugi however politely excused them both saying that they both should get to bed.

Back in their room Atemu and Yugi were laying in bed thinking of the next day. It was amazing how many days had passed. Yugi felt like he had known Atemu for years. They got along so well it was uncanny and Yugi couldn't help but think of their kiss in the city.

Atemu broke the silence with a chuckle, "They sounded so stupid! 'I'll miss him so much!' how sappy was that?"

"Very much so my merwet (7)." Atemu blinked and stared at Yugi.

"Did you just call me merwet Yugi?"

"Yes I did, you have a problem with that?"

"No I don't….Good night …beloved."

1. Wesekh: a beaded collar, for jewelry purposes or ceremonial depending on how tthey were decorated and what they were made of.

2. Bener means sweet in Egyptian and hem-netjer means Gods servant. He basically was calling Yugi a type of priest, he only knew that Yugi was of some royal figure. Hence why he grabbed him! I know a good amount of Egyptian and am planning on using it because it makes the story more realistic to Egypt plus you guys get to learn Egyptian!

More Egyptian! Ib is heart.

Iew is dog Ha ha he called him a dog cuz he is all ragged! Lol I know I'm stupid cuz I find that funny…

Kheftey is enemy useful word!

Have you ever heard the phrase where someone will kill another man just to stay alive because he doesn't want to die? This is a way of basically saying that.

Merwet mean love!

Okay well sorry this took longer then I expected but I worked really hard on this. I hope it meets your expectations!
