(Chapter 4) Not So Happy Surprises.

Aya awoke in an elegant chamber, each wall gleaming in the soft candellight that engulfed the room.

She sat up slowly, trying to get to a sitting positon without doubleing over in agony. After examining her surroundings... she gasped.

Her old room! She searched it's every inch, taking in all the warm memories, and soon discovered Atemu asleep in the corner.

Aww! How cute! Aya sighed. His eyes were squinted shut, like when someone shines a really bright light in your face at 3 o'clock in the morn, and he was mummbling something.

Curiosity overwhelmed her as she staggered to him, trying to hear what he had to say.

"No...shoo...leave us alone.." he murmered weakly, then he kicked his foot out, taking Aya's out from underneath her, causing her to collapse and fall backwards, hitting her head on the hard clay.

"Ouchi! Ouchi! Ouchi!" Aya said under her breath. Atemu's eyes shot open. "AYA!" he yelled. "I thought you were a goner!" he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Why ever did you run away?" he questioned, looking her in the eyes.

"Because of Bakura. He was gunna sell me or something and Ryou wasn't going to let him so he let me free. You didnt want me to escape my captors? The ones who kidnapped me 3 years ago?" she said hotly.

"What do you mean kidnapped? Malik told us you ran away?" Atemu exclamied. "Why that little- He was covering up for himself!" Aya growled.

"Oh, dear! You're awake!" a girl said from the door. "Uhhu." Aya said, unsure of who was at the door.

"Aya, you remember Ishizu, right?" Atemu said as he strolled over to her, standing on his toes so he could whisper something in her ear.

"I'll take care of it Prince. Thank you for notifying me." Ishizu replied, bowing, and leaving the room. "Well, are you as bored as i am?" Atemu sighed, turning back to Aya. "Cummon! Follow me! I'll show you around since I never got to!" he grinned.

With that, Atemu and Aya strolled about the giant castle, seeing various people that she recognized along the way. They were out in the garden, chatting lively, when Seth sprinted over to them.

"Atemu! You're needed in the main room." he stated, trying to sound as calm and collected as he normally was, even though there were crystillian tears on the verge of brimming over to his cheeks.

All of them rushed to the main room in the center of the palace, finding a man in the center of it that she still was in need of acutance with.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Atemu asked. So if this is Atemu's uncle, and Seth is his cousin, this must be Seth's dad! Haha! I feel so smart! Aya thought gleefully oblivious to the problem at hand, the sound of Seth's father's voice bringing her back to her senses.

"It's your father. I'm afraid there's been an accident. While he was riding to the next town to sort out a problem when the guards mistook him for a thief.(A/N I don't know how so please just bear with me kk?) I'm-I'm afraid he didnt make it...Syre." announced Seth's father.

Atemu flushed. Aya was positive he had no other family to take the throne for him, so that meant... "Your coronation is 3 days from today. I'm sorry for your loss." he said as soothing as possible.

Atemu whipped around and tore from the room, though everyone could clearly see he was crying. Seth followed close behind.
