Chapter 6
"Oh Atem is so handsome," Anzu said daydreaming about Atem as they walked.
"Does she know it's disrespectful to call him by his first name without his permission," Jou said to Yugi snapping him out of his own Day dream state.
"She probably does but she has the dream of becoming queen of Egypt," Yugi said feeling a bit crushed.
"Good luck with that," Jou mumbled softly.
"Anyways how old are you Prince Yugi," Jou asked.
"You can call me Yugi and I'm 20 summers old," Yugi said.
"What I thought you were 15 summers old," Jou said in shock.
"It's because of how short I am and how wide my eyes are makes me seem way younger than I am," Yugi said rubbing the back of his head.
"Do people treat you like a child," Jou asked making Yugi groan.
"So many people do you don't even realize," Yugi said and Jou bursted our laughing.
Solomon watched how the two reacted and smiled. He knew back home Yugi never really tried to open up to people. Of course he had his friend Ryou but that was pretty much it. Ryou would be arriving soon since he was in an arranged marriage with one of Egypt's finest soldier.
"Here are your rooms," Jou said bowing.
"I need the biggest room," Anzu said taking the first one.
"Pack away your things Yugi we have dinner with the Pharaoh in a couple of hours," Solomon said taking the second room.
"Thank you for taking us to our rooms Jou," Yugi said bowing.
"It's no problem Yugi. I'll see you around," Jou said going off his own way.
Yugi went to his room and seeing that his bags were already inside. Deciding to put away his clothes he placed them neatly on the rack that was provided in the room.
"Yugi what did I say about doing the help's work," Anzu said when she came inside his room.
"I just want to make things easier for them. Plus there is nothing to do from now until we have dinner with the Pharaoh," Yugi said finishing up.
"There are other princess we could talk to. Maybe we can find one for you since they obviously don't stand a chance against me," Anzu said grabbing Yugi by the hand and dragging him.
"A-Anzu," Yugi stuttered trying to get out of her grip.
"Come on Yugi don't be boring," Anzu said when she had suddenly let go of Yugi's wrist.
Yugi took the opportunity to go in the opposite direction in hopes of losing Anzu. Wounding up in a garden Yugi smiles wildly at all the different types of plants that were growing. He recognized some cherry blossoms and was amazed at how well they were doing.
"I didn't think you could even grow cherry blossoms here," Yugi said to himself.
"You can't really but magic does wonder doesn't it," a deep voice said.
Yugi gasped recognizing the voice. He turned around and was met with an amused Atem.
"Pharaoh Atem What are you doing here," Yugi asked curiously.
"When we're alone you are allowed to call me Atem and to why I'm here? Well it is my private gardens after all," Atem said making Yugi blush.
"I'm sorry I was just trying to get away from my sister if I knew this was your private garden I wouldn't have entered here," Yugi said looking down towards the ground.
"No harm done Yugi," Atem said and Yugi felt like shivering at how smooth Atem's voice was.
"It's very beautiful here," Yugi said looking around once again.
"My mother made sure this place looks beautiful," Atem said and Yugi nodded his head.
"If you like you can come back here any time you want," Atem said.
"Really," Yugi said excitedly.
"Of course but you need this," Atem said taking out a gold bracelet.
"What's this for," Yugi asked.
"It's to let the guards know that you have permission to be in here," Atem said.
"Alright thank you Atem," Yugi said taking the bracelet from him and sliding it on his wrist.
"Até it's almost time for dinner and you need to freshen up," Dially said as she came up to the two.
"I wouldn't have forgotten Dially," Atem said.
"That's what you said about a meeting," Dially said making Atem blush.
"That was 2 summers ago," Atem said.
"And I will always hold it over your head," Dially said.
"You should get ready to Prince Yugi," Dially said turning to him.
"I'd prefer you call me Yugi we are all people are we not what makes me higher than you," Yugi said.
'Said like a wise ruler,' Dially thought as she nods her head.
"See you too later," Dially said leaving the two alone.
"I'll see you at dinner," Atem said and Yugi nods his head.
"Thank you for the bracelet Atem," Yugi said.
"No problem Yugi," Atem said as they both made their way to their respected room.
Atem smiled widely as he got ready. It was tradition that Egyptians would gift a golden bracelet to someone they wanted to court. If the person rejected the bracelet then it wasn't meant to be. But if the person did accept the bracelet then they accepted to be courted. He couldn't wait to see Yugi once again.
I always find it strange how writers always asked for their stories to be reviewed. I never expect the reviews and yet you guys do. I just want to write what I want and however I want it. I'm not saying it's wrong to ask for reviews but for me it's weird wanting something when it should be earned.
Atarya QueenOfEgypt: Thank you for liking the chapter. I'll try to update whenever I have the time. As to adding your OC the way you put it makes it seem like you want them to be with Atem. I'm sorry to deny your request and if I were to put them in they would most likely be a spoiled princess. I am mostly a Yaoi shipper and I don't really like oc's with main characters. I can't review your work at this time since I'm very busy.
PureDarkWolf: Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying my story. I prefer non romantic with my OC's since I like to focus on the main pairing.
I do not own YuGiOh.
