(THANKS LUNA FOR THE POINT OUT :) )

===Atemu pov===

I watched as the flames swirled around Yugi then went for my guards, Yugi took his chance and ran away from the palace, and he ran away from me. I fell to my knees as my guards quickly put out the fire, water seemed to have no affect on the flames. The guards tried to pull me away but, I didn't move I felt to numb to move. Someone grabbed me and threw me over their shoulder, I didn't fight whoever it was. I didn't care. The person went to my room and placed me on my feet, I looked at the person and it was Mahad.

"Pharaoh, what is the matter with you" he asked

"He is gone" I said

"Yugi" he said

"I can't believe, I did those things to him" I said

"Pharaoh, what are you talking about" he said

"I…forced myself upon him when he didn't want me" I said

Mahad's eyes widen in shock, I turned my head. A few moments passed, Mahad placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and he looked back at me with sadden eyes.

"Forgive me Atemu" he said

Next thing I knew, I was on the floor and there was a huge pain coming from my cheek. I looked at Mahad who had his had raised, he looked at me and lowered his hand. He hit me, Mahad had hit me well more like slapped me.

"Why in Ra's name did you force yourself upon the boy, you of all people should know better" he hissed

"I didn't know, Yugi said some things and I just…snapped" I said

"Atemu…I don't know what else to say" he said

"He ran away and he is never going to come back, he is never going to trust me again" I said

"I will go out into the city and look for him, he couldn't have gone far" he said

"Mahad, when you find Yugi please tell him I am sorry and I didn't mean to do what I did" I said

"I will tell him that" he said

Then my uncle Aknadin walked into the room, he saw me on the floor and rushed to my aid. He helped me up and started glaring at Mahad.

"Mahad, what is the meaning of this" he asked

"Forgive, I have laid a hand to our pharaoh" Mahad answered

"What, are you insane Mahad you know the punishment for harming the pharaoh" he said

"Uncle, I am fine. I dissevered it anyways" I said

"I will let this go, we have more important matters on hand" he said

"What happen" I said

"I have received word from pharaoh Akil" he said

"Akil, what does he want" Mahad said

"He is going to declare war" he said

My eyes widen in shock, war. Akil was going to declare war on me. Aknadin explained the situation to us. My parents and rightfully promised Akil the marriage of me and Serenity years ago, even though I had a right to decline the marriage to princess I could not break that promise without causing conflict. And right now, my country could not go to war. My men are stronger but, I wouldn't have the same numbers as Akil has in such short time.

I sighed and walked over to the balcony, Aknadin and Mahad waited in my room for an answer. I stared down at the city. Many homes were dark, the families inside were mostly likely asleep together and happy. How many would die in this war? How many families would be broken and lost? I sighed heavily and looked up at the sky. The moon was partly out, while the stars danced in the black night sky.

I looked back at the city and saw it burning with great fire, I could hear my people screams for their loved ones. Solider are fighting against one another, the scent of blood and death was heavy in the air. I closed my eyes then I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned my head to see Mahad. I looked back at my city, it was peaceful and quite. The vision of death was gone.

"Pharaoh" he said

"I don't want to go to war with Akil but…" I said

"Atemu as one of your six priest and closest friends, I must say you shouldn't do this. You shouldn't forced to marry someone you don't love for only to keep peace in the land" he said

"What else am I suppose to do Mahad" I said

"…do what you have to do" he said

"I know, uncle" I called

"Yes pharaoh" he answered

"Send word to Akil…" I said

===Yugi pov===

I felt someone tugging one of my bangs, I tried to get them to stop but they wouldn't stop. I cracked one of my eyes open, I could see someone next to me pulling my hair. It was a small boy maybe about four or five, he had huge brown eyes and the whitest hair I have ever seen, and it was able to touch his shoulders. The boy wore a small tunic and old sandals, the boy smiled at me and continued to tug at me hair.

"Ryou, stop that" a woman said

I sat up and saw a woman maybe in her early twenties, she had long get black hair that went all the way down to her thighs. Her eyes were shining ruby red, they looked very protective. She wore a black dressed that covered her from neck to toe. She walked over to the child and picked him up.

"I am sorry about that, Ryou is very curious sometimes" she said

"It's alright…did you save me last night" I said

"Yes" she said

"Thank you um…" I said

"Katara" she said

"Thank you Katara" I said

"You are welcome, you are from the palace" she said

"…no, I am from a far away land my name is Yugi" I said

"Nice too meet you Yugi, I am also from a far away land" she said

I smiled and rubbed the back of my head, my eyes widen in shock. I looked at my hand and saw the ring missing. Katara grabbed my hand gently and rubbed it.

"I got rid of the ring for you" she said

"What, why would you do that" I said

"I did it so you could be free" she said

"I am not a slave" I said

She touched the bruise on my face, I let out a hiss and looked away.

"That mark says otherwise" she said

"Give me back my ring" I said

"I can't" she said

"Please, that ring is very important to me" I said

"I burned the ring" she said

I looked at her fearfully, the ring….my gift from Atemu was gone. Tears started to leave my eyes, Katara sighed heavily and panted my back. Ryou also tried to do the same but he couldn't reach.

"You are going to thank me some day Yugi" she said
