Last Time:

A long, awkward silence followed. Until Atemu got enough of it, grabbed Yuugi be his shoulders and dragged the other boy out of the deserted place. "What is this test about, anyway?"

The smile on Yuugis face saddened even more.

"It's a secret..."

Yuugi's POV

The incident of Atemu dragging me through the passages in the palace was about fifteen minutes away as I found myself in front of a huge mirror which showed my complete appearance.

I sweatdropped slightly at the dark brown cloak I was wearing and the HUGE hood Atemu was just about to pull deep into my face.

"Err... Prince...? Why do I wear these things again...?" I asked unsure and shoved him off of me, because he would still not let go of the hood and pull it even deeper. "I still want to be able to see, thank you!"

The Prince grinned widely as if absolutely NOTHING could destroy his good mood – something which could be happen in one second...

"I just decided we would sneak out of the palace and go to the city" That wasn't good: he was excited! "There is a bazaar on the market!"

... Okay ... NOW I was doomed!

I had to collect and use all of my self-control to suppress a groan that was about to leave my lips as I saw Atemus eyebrow twitching slightly. So he noticed my ... excitement to his statement. Now THAT wasn't good, that's for sure... So I quickly tried to explain myself, before the outburst of the demon. (1)

"Prince, you KNOW what happened the last time, we got on a bazaar! You were haggling about an hour to lower the price of just ONE apple you didn't even WANT to eat, but give a horse standing at the side of the shop!"

The prince pouted at this. "It was TWO SILVER COINS the shop-owner wanted! TWO!"

Again I sweatdropped. "But that was NOT a reason to threat him with DEATH!"

The boy I was looking into the eye snorted before he answered. "If you wouldn't have come right then, it wouldn't have been only a THREAT!"

At this I could only shake my head. Again this was a conversation we had about one time a day, when the prince felt like going into town. And he wanted it almost every second day.

I turned to face him again. "If you promise me that you will not lose your temper this time, I promise to come with you and will not complain if you stop at almost every single shop to look at the things for sell."

I was relieved to see Atemus smile. "Deal!"

But I should have known, that his answer was way too fast to be comforting.

After the guards found us on our way up the wall, the palace was surrounded with, we had no choice but to run.

And that is, what we were doing at this very same moment.

"Whose stupid idea was it to climb over the south wall with the main gate?" Atemu shouted while he was running.

"Guess it was yours again, Prince." I rounded a corner and the Prince followed.

"Oh, shut up!"

It seemed like everybody was at the marketplace, because all the streets were deserted and not one single man could be seen.

I heard the guards scream some orders to their fellows as I was leading Atemu through the maze of alleys, the city was built with. In one of these alleys I stopped abruptly. It seemed a good place for a little trick.

I was just about to bit into my thumb, when something collided with me and with an 'umph' I fell to the ground face first.

"Now that really wasn't graceful..." I heard Atemus voice behind me and felt like he was lying on top of me – which he actually was. "Why did you stop all of a sudden? As you might not have NOTICED, I don't want to be caught by those stupid guards with the brain of a fly, and even that would be insulting the fly!"

Quietly I groaned. "And as YOU might not have noticed, I was about to make SURE that we would not be caught by these guards! So would you be so kind and leave the warmth of MY body? You might be quite comfortable up there, but I'M not!"

If I would have been able to see his face, I would have been very surprised to see a light blush on his cheek. But I think I would have dropped this topic immediately. We were running for almost half an hour after all...

He quickly climbed down from my body and in the same pace I stood again. Finally biting into my thumb so it was bleeding and went to one of the house walls to scribble some signs onto it.

Atemu had already been seen it before, but I could feel his amazed glances in my back as I muttered a spell in a language unknown to him.

Out of these signs I made came a gleaming girl with long, white hair and a round mirror in her hands. She didn't wear any clothes and her skin looked, like it was made of glass.

"What will she do?" curiosity got the best of the Prince again and I silenced him with a soft wave with one of my hands.

"You will see..."

I spoke to her in the very same language the spell was in and she nodded short as she duplicated herself – only that one of them now looked exactly like me and the other like Atemu.

"Now I get it! That will be the perfect distraction!"

The two copies of ourselves left just before I was able to hear. That the guards were nearer than I thought and I grabbed Atemus arm just in time and dragged him behind a well that I didn't notice before in this alley.

Both of us were looking just in the direction our copies left and after a few minutes the guards followed them.

We waited just another minute before we left our hideout.

"Whew... that was kind of close..."

I nodded. "They will not track them down forever. If we want to look around the bazaar, we should get a going!"

Without waiting for an answer I turned towards the mainstreet again. I was sure all the guards would follow my Faith instead of leaving some behind just to be safe. I was right.

Chuckling slightly at the thought that Atemu was quite right about what he was babbling about guard-brains, the bazaar came into view finally.

A/N: should I leave here...? nah! I wanted to make it longer then the last so on with the next scene xD

After fifteen minutes on the bazaar I was regretting to ever promise to the prince for not complaining at his shopping-trip.

He REALLY stopped at EVERY damn shop that came to his view! And I was about to think he was doing it on purpose just to annoy me.

He smirked slightly at me as he just spotted ANOTHER shop, he hadn't seen before! 'Now I KNOW he is doing it on purpose just to annoy me!'

I groaned as Atemu was yet again dragging me to the shop he spotted just before. I couldn't see it, but I SWEAR I could FEEL the smirk on his face!

As every time, I was in the city with him, I asked myself, why – by RA! – he didn't ask a girl to come along shopping with him! Teana, his cousin, seemed to be QUITE interested in coming with him.

I didn't blame her for it... she didn't know what HELL it could be to go on a shopping trip with the shopping-devil himself and in colour!

We reached the shop and one second later Atemu spotted something, he wanted to buy and – as I wouldn't have known – was haggling again. And again it was my turn to groan.

He was in his element again. Nothing would stop him from getting HIS price out of the item what looked like a very beautiful decorated spoon. I doubted, the prince actually KNEW what a spoon was as they didn't have any in Kemet, but my Master and I where quite knowledgeable about these things, because we travelled around the world A LOT!

The voices of Atemu and the shop-owner grew louder and brook me from the trance my thoughts were in.

"You must be kidding, old man! This thing is never over ONE gold coin worth! Yet you want to have six!" (2)

A sigh escaped my lips as I shook my head at his antics. 'Here he goes again...'

"Look kid, I'm trying to run a shop, so if you wouldn't mind to leave...! You're scaring my other customers!" Everyone could hear the outbreak of this man will come – soon!

"WHAT! SAY THAT AGAIN YOU STUPID THING THAT IS INSULTING ALL OTHER HUMANS FOR JUST BEING ONE OF THEM! DON'T YOU KNOW, WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO? I WILL-" (3)

That was my signal to interfere. Quickly I put my hand over Atemus mouth to keep him quiet bowed to the owner and smiled at him in apologize.

"I'm sorry for his behaviour, mister! We will leave your shop shortly. I hope you can forgive him." With that I dragged Atemu outside of the bazaar – never leaving my hand from his mouth to keep him quiet until we couldn't be overheard anymore. In an alley that looked quite like it lay in a slum was the first time I removed my hand again.

Atemu was heavily panting by my side. "Didn't you REALIZE I needed to breath!"

Angry I looked at him. "Of course I realized! But did YOU realize you just broke your promise?"

Silence followed. It looked like he was thinking it over – until it clicked in his head and he murmured something that sounded like an apologize.

MAN! He REALLY needed to control his temper!

I just opened my mouth to say something again, as I noticed a fire-red bird sitting on the roof of one of the houses with golden eyes and a fire-coloured, long tail that looked like it was from a peacock.

It sang softly, just before it unfurled its wings and aimed at us in a dive.

"Shit!" was the last I murmured before I was able to form a barrier to parry the attack.

Unlike I thought the phoenix didn't attack again but just flew towards the palace with his sing-sang.

For a minute I followed it with my eyes until it finally hit me.

"Shit!" I said again and turned to the prince. "Atemu, we must leave immediately! That was one of my Masters Faith' he uses to spy!" I grabbed Atemu by his arm and dragged him as fast as I could back to the palace.

I was so lost in my own thoughts, that I didn't realize the Princes eyes starting do grow in surprise.

And I didn't realize how I had called him.

To be continued

A/N: W00H00! I LOVE you, guys! Didn't thought some of even LIKED this craziness xD" – places hugs and kisses all over the place – You guys are SOOOO ruling xD pretty fast update, huh? I couldn't wait to tell u my joy about the reviews – kisses again –

(1)he doesn't see Atemu as a real demon, but Yuugi pretty much thinks it is easy for Atemu to count as one, when he's angry xD (who doesn't think that? -.-""")

(2)six GOLD coins for a SPOON? I completely understand Atemu in that! xD

(3)dunno if Atemus outburst is a little too harsh ... if its under M-rating I'm terribly sorry TT – shoves it to his proud ness –

Currency – MY currency for this story is: 10 Bronze Coins1 Silver Coin; 15 Silver Coins1 Gold Coin; you see the merchants are really greedy in my story xD

The Girl – actually is a guarding-Faith of normal strength. Although she can be used as a spy too because of her powers to change into everything her master wishes, she is not used into this very often because she can't speak "

The bird – a phoenix! –drools- I LOVE these birds! It is the main-spy for Yuugis Master because it can fly and fight for its own. Not much power is needed to call one of these, but the spell to summon one is VERY complicated and you need a special item.

I totally forgot in the prologue, to say, that I'm not native-english! Actually I'm german xD and this is my very FIRST English FF EVA! So I'm sorry, if the grammar sometimes is not right or I mistake some words ... n.n but I'm trying OO"
