"Welcome." The pub's keeper greeted as the three young men stepped into the house he kept his bar in. They sat on the desk, and ordered some bread and water, which Yuugi paid. While sipping his drink, Ed noticed a "Wanted"-sign hanging next the desk on the wall. It had two pictures(they were drawn, though in a very well quality). The both men in the pictures had sharp-looking hair and narrowed eyes. The other's were narrowed even in a creepy twisted sort of way. Only looking at his picture gave you goose-pimples.
"Who are those guys?" He asked the pub owner, who turned around and looked more than slightly confused.
"Who are th…Who are…Dear customer, where in the world have you been? I'd think everyone knew about the Pharaoh's greatest enemies!"
"I'm a foreigner, thank you very much. So would you please explain?"
"They are the leaders of The Demon Robbers" came Yuugi's voice.
"The Demon Robbers?" asked Al.
"It's a big and dangerous organisation group of thieves and other lowlifes. No one really knows what they want, but they sure don't hesitate not to do anything the get it. They've already killed hundreds of people that have tried to stop them, along with our latest Pharaoh. The organisation has at least two hundred people, but those two are the leaders, since they put the start to it. The one with pointy hair is called Marik, the other goes by the name Bakura."
"Why the name 'The Demon Robbers'?" Ed asked.
"It's because they have the mysterious way of disappearing after doing something. There has been only a few times they have been able to be stopped in time. They are after our Pharaoh's blood." Yuugi's voice hardened with hate as he said this. "They already almost killed one of his royal court. They managed to rob him, and wound him, but thanks to the palace's healer, he was able to be saved."
"You sure know a lot about this." Ed said, blinking.
"Yeah, well…I hear things." Yuugi answered, scratching the back of his head a little embarrassed.
"You sure do, because you live around the centre of these happenings…Prince.", came a new voice from behind the two boys and one armour. When they turned, to be horrified, they saw that a group of men, dressed like guards and who had pikes in their hands, had surrounded them. One of them grabbed Yuugi's arm and took his hood down.
"It's forbidden to go out like that, little Prince…" he said the last word with annoyingly fake-sweet voice. "The Pharaoh will punish you now…" he sounded awfully pleased saying this.
Yuugi's eyes narrowed in a way Ed or Al couldn't have imagined was possible for a nice boy like him.
"We'll see about that. Let's just go back." he said, walking out with the other guard-men following. Except for a few, who now grabbed Ed and Al from their arms.
"O-oi! Let go of us!" Ed said.
"You're coming with us. You've hurt the Prince! You'll lose your heads soon!"
"Wh-what? We haven't done anything! And who here is a prince?"
"I am." Yuugi spoke softly from the doorway. "I'm Prince Yuugi of Egypt, pleasured to meet you. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. I couldn't take any risks." He then spoke to the men: "Let them go, they haven't done anything wrong!"
"They've lied their hands on you, your highness!"
"So what! They saved me!"
"The law does not look it any other way, no matter what."
"…Ed, Al, you need to come with us. This needs the be sorted by the Pharaoh. I'm sorry for this trouble." Yuugi said, and spoke to the men again "Don't do anything harsh. They are innocent until proved guilty."
The man who had first grabbed him looked rather displeased, but told his men to let go of the two brothers anyway.
The group headed through the town towards the palace.
This was not originally supposed to end here, but the next chapter is not ready yet, so I decided to cut it here.
