--------------------
Prince Yami awoke within his room some unknown amount of time later. His nose was buried into the pillow that Yugi's head had laid on when they were making love. Prince Yami could smell the roses that stuck to his hair during the bath. He could still feel a dampness to it as well. Oh, how he wished he had done something. But it was too late. Yugi was dead now. Prince Yami curled into a fetus position. The crowd...it came straight at his little Yugi. And Yugi, his angel, he couldn't do anything. Blinded and chained, the boy couldn't run anywhere. Now he was most likely crushed. Pounded into the ground by the feet of the people Yugi was leaving Prince Yami for. So the Prince could protect them from the monarchy of a corrupt and selfish family. A family that would've gotten control if Lady Anzu and Prince Yami had married.
"Why?" Prince Yami asked the pillow. "Why Yugi? He was so young, and I...I..."
"Yami?"
The Prince faced the doorway. "Mai" he whispered feebly. The Queen strided over to her brother. She sat on the edge of his bed so that his back was to her. "Mai..." Prince Yami dared to ask, "is...is Yugi--"
"He's alive" Queen Mai said simply. "A gaurd was able to reach him before the crowd could. Yugi's got a nice cut on his forehead, but he'll survive."
Prince Yami gave a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness" he whispered out.
"Why should it be good?" Queen Mai asked. Prince Yami rolled over to the other side of his body. He gave his sister a quzzical look. Did she expect him to answer her, or was this a rhetorical question made to test her brother? Queen Mai wasn't expecting an answer, so she continued. "After all, he is your rapist. Shouldn't you be glad he isn't dead?" Queen Mai gave her brother an odd look. "You aren't that nice of a person."
"You know, don't you?"
Queen Mai smirked. "What do I know?"
She wanted Prince Yami to admit it. She wanted her brother to go through the agony and embarrassment of saying to his only living family that he chose to fullfill the forbidden unspoken pleasure and disturb two of the most sacred Laws. "You know that," this was it, he had to say it or loose everything, "that Yugi didn't drug and rape me. You know that I chose to, and that Yugi and I were lovers."
Queen Mai looked away. Maybe she didn't know. Maybe she was suspecting Prince Yami to admit to another crime. That maybe he had raped Yugi, not the other way around. But, when Queen Mai looked back at her brother, she had a smile on her face. "Yes, that is what I know."
Prince Yami's eyes went wide. "How...why...when did you--"
"My dear brother" Queen Mai said as she stood up and walked over to the other side of Prince Yami's bed. Prince Yami rolled over again to face his sister. "My dear, naive little brother." She turned and smiled at him again. "I have spies everywhere. All royal women do. It's a law amongst us."
"So...why didn't you tell me you knew?" Prince Yami asked.
"Becuase you would have denied it" Queen Mai said. She was right, Prince Yami would have denied any and all realtionships between him and Yugi except for one of friendship. "I also wanted you to admit it to me. I wanted to know that you could trust me as I do you."
"But, how could you trust me if you knew I was being adultrous?" Prince Yami asked.
"You're not married, are you?" Queen Mai asked.
Prince Yami couldn't beleive what his sister had just said. Even before marriage, being with another was adultrous. "But...but the Moral Laws state--"
"The Moral Laws," Queen Mai said, "are not meant to be taken as seriously as they are. Most were not even made until five hundred years after the original ones." The blonde woman looked at her brother seriously. "Unspoken pleasure is a concept, dear brother. One of the few original Moral Laws. All it stated, when first mentioned, was that it should only be practiced by 'those with the capacity to truly understand the responsibility of love and it's concequences.' "
Prince Yami didn't understand, and stated so. Queen Mai giggled for a second. "All that means is that one should only create unspoken pleasure only if they are able to commit to the other person. Now tell me," Queen Mai stared at her brother, "are you able to commit to Yugi?"
Prince Yami nodded. "Yes. For Yugi, I would go beyond the end of the world if it would prove to him my love. I would give up my life for him. I would," Prince Yami sighed, "I am willing to give up my birthright for him. But, they Laws also state that 'men can not love men as men should love women.' "
"Those silly ammendments" Queen Mai said. "They do nothing but cause trouble for all those who want to do right." The blonde turned to her brother. "Don't you think that some silly person would make up something like that, along with the idea that all killing, even in self-defense, is one of the most horrendous things a person could do?"
Prince Yami nodded. "I beleive so."
Queen Mai smiled and stood up. "That is what I wanted to hear! Now, pack your bags!"
Prince Yami sat up and followed his sister over to the door. "But...pack my bags? Where am I going?"
Queen Mai smirked at her naive brother. "You're going to where you believe you should go." And with that, Queen Mai half-walked, half-skipped off. Prince Yami sat on his bed, thinking about what his sister meant. A smile came over his lips when he realized what she meant.

"Mai! Mai!"
The aforementioned blonde woke up. It was so dark out. The moon still reigned and her starry subjects still danced around her. Queen Mai stood up and stretched before walking out to the person in her doorway. "Yes?" she asked. She was too tired to use formalities.
"Mai, something's happened!" It was Anzu. Boy, was this night getting better.
"What?" Queen Mai asked in a whine.
"The gaurds reported that Yugi, that wretched little slave, has escaped!" Lazy Anzu said in a shrill voice. "And," the brunette continued, "your brother, Prince Yami, has gone missing as well!"
Queen Mai felt joy and pride rise in her heart, but before she could truly celebrate, she needed to tell this pompous girl some things. "Anzu," the Queen began, "for one, I know who my brother is. Two, I would have rather you not have gone to my brother's before you have come to me. Three, why should you know in the first place? The gaurds know that they should come to me before reporting to anyone other than their captain. In fact, since the gaurds have told you, how do I know that you haven't been trying to turn them against me?"
Lady Anzu looked sick. "I...I...but...well, I...uh..."
"Therefore, tomorrow, I want you out of my castle. By the time the sun is high, I shall like it very much if you and your servants and your belongings were back at your family's mansion or on their way to said mansion. Are we clear?"
Lady Anzu seemed to regain her voice, though it was shaky and unsure. "B-But your brother--"
"Is better off without you!" Queen Mai bid goodnight to the Lady and returned to bed. Queen Mai smiled as she laid down. "I wish you luck and happiness, dear brother."

"What are you talking about?" Yugi asked as he backed away from the blonde man who stood in front of him. "You must be mistaken. I'm just a servant."
"No," the stranger persisted, "all the monarchs have purple eyes. Eyes like yours. Eyes like your mother's."
"But..." Yugi started. He looked over to Yami, who was coming over to his husband's side. "But, my mother didn't have purple eyes."
"That's because the woman you claim as your mother is really the woman who kidnapped you."
