Hello all! This is my chapter series for now so YAY! lol! I hope you like it. This is my first try so please, be kind. Flames are excepted, I've gotten enough to be used to it. Oh, and even though this says it's a romance, I'm not that good at it. Also, a warning. Ryou will be in this along with Bakura. THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE! (Malik is the holder of the Millenium Rod... for the moment. (grins michiviously.))

DISCLAIMER: Do I even have to say it?

Malik: Yeah, yah do.

Me: Did anyone ask you?

Me: ...Damn you...>

Anyways, on with the fic!

Caught in the Sandstorm

Chapter One! The Meeting

Some day I'll be there. Aya thought as she aimlessly trudged down the marketplace roads, looking towards the palace gates. Tomorrow maybe!she thought excitedly, pushing dreams to the max. But, as the song goes, tomarrow is always a day away so it never comes.

Turning a corner towards her home, or, at least, that's what she thought it was, she caught the glimpse of a movment in her peripheral vison. "Wh-Who's there?" she stuttered tentivly. A stone came hutling towards her. "EEP!" Aya yelped as she dove to the ground in a desperate attempt to evade the 'enchanted' rock.

The crusade continued for a few more minuetes and she got numerous bumps and bruises, until finnaly it was too much for her attacker. He fell to the ground, clutching his sides and howling with laughter.

Upon realizing the fireing had siesed, she carefully crawled over to the boy. He looked oddly familiar, what with his tri-colored hair, tan complection, expensive clothes...

"MY RA!" she gasped. "You're the Prince!" Aya sat and gaped for a moment while he recuperated. "Yeah, and your hilarious!" he inquired in a smug tone, yet again, laughing at her idiocy. "Okay then... whatever. I'm Aya!" she stated simply, fighting it within herself to kill the boy. "Cool. I'm..."

"PRINCE ATEMU! WHERE ARE YOU?" someone called. "Prince Atemu." he finished dully.

"Oh, Ra! I gotta go! Hmm, you know, you're a good sport, you wanna come with?" he questioned, his hand outstreched from his standing position to Aya's sitting figure. That was random…she thought, though she couldn't pass up this chance!

"M-M-me? S-sure!" she conquered, excitedly. "Cool , follow me!" Atemu cheered. They crept through boundless alleys and past desserted places she'd never seen before this day, on more than one occasion getting her brunet hair caught on one thing or another. "Where are we?" she questioned, golden eyes looking into Atemu's crimson ones. "We're on our way to the palace! DUH!" he stated, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. But only because it was.

Upon arriving at the Palace...

"WHO ARE YOU!" a boy, Aya guessed was about 10 or 12, boomed, pointing at her as if she were the lowest of low scum. "HER name is Aya and i met her in the village FYI!" Atemu screeched back.

Upon hearing the noise, the current Pharoh barged in. "What's all the ruckus, kids?" he inquired. "HE STARTED IT!" they both yelled.

She couldn't stifle your giggles. THEY LOOKED JUST LIKE LITTLE SCHOOL GIRLS!

"Excuse me but, please state your name?" the Pharoh questioned, raising an eyebrow. "My name is Aya, my Pharoh." she said, bowing.

"Are you a friend of my son or an intruder?" he continued. She was about to answer when Atemu interrupted.

"MUST YOU SCARE EVERYONE THAT I MEET! OF COURSE SHE'S MY FRIEND!" After that outburst, everyone left looking somewhat fearful, like looks could kill because the look Atemu was giveing his dad was lethal.

"Um.. why were they scared?" she questioned quietly. "Huh? oh they werent! He! They're all just joking!" he giggled with a sly grin, but the smile seemed fourced.

Okay! That was the first chapter of many! I'm still editing it so I hope that you enjoyed.

Atemu: This is not a fic about me, or it may be... It's yet to be decided...

Bakura: Yeah, it might be about me. sly grin
