Chapter 3

Atemu was not having a good day. First he woke to find he'd slept in and his breakfast was cold, then the council had gone ahead and started the meeting without him, then he'd found out that his best cook had been sentenced to death and one of his best dancers had sprained her ankle. Great.

He was headed towards his garden when a guard came running to him. "My Pharaoh," he bowed, "We've just caught two thieves, and one of them is the 'King of Thieves'."

Ateum raised an eyebrow. 'Maybe the God's are in my favour.'

"Where is he?"

"Them, my Pharaoh, there's two."

"Really?"

"Their in the Throne Room, my Pharaoh." Atemu nodded and followed the guard into the Throne Room. When he entered he saw a group of guards circled around two people, who fought against them. The doors opened and Atemu turned to see his cousin and high prist Seth.

"I came to see if the guards did actually manage to capture the 'King of Thieves.'" He smirked, ice blue eyes shinning.

"Well then, move aside." Atemu commanded. The guards closest to The Pharaoh and High Priest, steeped aside to reveal the 'King of Thieves' in his white hair, brown eyes, scruffy glory.

"Ah, Pharaoh, we meet again." He smirked.

"Indeed thief. And it seems you have an assistant this time." Bakura smirked.

"Oh, you'll find my choice of assistants, very 'familiar.'"

"What are you on about?" Seth snapped.

"Take a look yourself."

Atemu steeped around Bakura to look at the other thief, he almost feel over in shock.

"A-Amber-Lee, is that you?" The girl, who kneeled before him in chains, wasn't the same small girl he'd grown up with. Her hair and eyes had stayed the same, but she'd developed into a young woman over ten years.

She sighed. "Yes brother, it is me."

What happened next shocked everyone. Atemu knelt down and embraced the female thief. "I thought you were dead." He whispered. Amber-Lee smirked.

"Please, I'm like father, you can't get rid of me."

"Pharaoh?" Atemu looked up at the guard.

"Yes?" he asked impatiently.

"These thieves tried to steal royal jewels." The guard reminded the him, throwing dirty looks at the two thieves.

Atemu stood up, dragging Amber-Lee with him. "Princess Amber-Lee, will not be punished, seeing as she is Royalty, but the other-"

"No! Brother if you love me, you will let Bakura become…my personal guard!" Atemu looked startled at Amber-Lee's request; Bakura raised an eyebrow and smirked.

Atemu sighed, annoyed, his sister was still stubborn after ten years. "Fine, fine." He called a servant over. "Clean my sister's room, get clothes and food, and prepare the servant chamber connected to it." The servant left and Atemu turned to Amber-Lee, he untied her and a guard did the same for Bakura. "But if he steals anything," Atemu whispered in Amber-Lee's ear, "I'm killing him on the spot." Amber-Lee rolled her eyes and followed her brother, with Seth and Bakura behind.

"Seth!" She called, just catching sight of her cousin. She glomped him, laughing.

"Hello, Al." he smirked.

"Are you High Priest yet?" She asked, climbing off of him.

"Of course."

"Are you two coming?" Atemu smiled, "Or do we have to carry you?" The two caught up with the two. They went to Atemu's chambers and sat down. "Al, what happened to you, where have you been? What are you wearing?"

"I've been a thief since I left, I've been everywhere, and I'm wearing my thief outfit."

Atemu opened his mouth but a knock at the door stoped him. "Enter." A messenger, dressed in olive green steeped in.

"My Pharaoh, I've come from King Sugoroku, bearing a message." He held out a scroll.

"Not another one! I would've thought they'd given up after we'd killed the last one!" Bakura complained. Amber-Lee sent him a death glare.

'Of if only looks could kill.' Atemu thought. "You killed a messenger?" He looked over at Al.

"No, Bakura killed a messenger." Amber-Lee smirked.

Seth got up and took the scroll scanning through it. "It says the King wants to give you his son, and heir, for the supplies you gave him."

Atemu raised an eyebrow, and then looked at his sister. "I take it you've seen him." She nodded. "Well…?"

"He's little, looks a lot like you, but more child like and innocent, his eyes are huge and the colour of amethyst, and he's smart." Amber-Lee explained, trying to remember the small prince that she and Bakura attempted to steal.

"Tell the King I except." Amber-Lee jumped up.

"WHAT! You're going to except!" She yelled, the other occupants in the room covered their ears.

"Well they do need to repay me, and he seems cute from the way you described him." He shrugged.

"I can't believe you!" She stormed out of the room, Bakura following.

"What did I do?" Atemu asked Seth.

"Perhaps you reminded her of your father." Seth replied.

Atemu's eyes narrowed. Seth Stood and edged out of the room.

Atemu let out a low growl.

Today was not a good day.
