The third time I changed the title. I hope you guys like it so far.

Mana had been dragging Atemu all over the place, showing every inch of the place. She had kept her cheery smile the whole time, which caused him the smile as well. It had been a long time since he had seen her.

"Mana, please, you have to slow down!" Atemu pleaded, panting from all the running. Mana bit her lip but still kept her smile.

"Sorry. I…I've just never felt this happy for a long time. I remember that we used to run away from out teachers when we were kids, and both of us running then and now is just so…well, I don't have the word to describe it!" Mana giggled. Atemu smirked, while Mana finally relaxed before pulling her friend to another place.

Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan had been looking around the place. It was amazing, the place was beautiful, something that you would think of only in imagination. Joey whistled, seeming impressed.

"This place is amazing!" he cried, smiling widely. Tristan sighed.

"Yeah, but how do we get back? How did we even get back?" He asked. Yugi frowned. He was right, and because of him mentioning this, he just realized it.

"I don't know. But I bet the pharaoh knows. So just relax. He might explain later…when he and Mana gets back…"

"When's that?" Tea giggled, knowing that Mana would keep Atemu forever if she could.

Joey chuckled, and saw his two favourite cards, the Flame Swordsman and Red Eyes Black Dragon at the distance.

"Oh my god, this is heaven! Both of my favourite cards are alive!" Joey screamed, running towards them Tea sighed.

"Yeah…it's been only two hours and he's already in trouble."

Mana had walked this time, this time slowly. She had finally reached to a beach, and smiled widely once again. (Weird how this place is like Earth, hm?)

Atemu was just right behind her and finally saw the final place she was going to show him. His eyes widened, amazed by the amazing view and orange and part red setting sun.

"Mana…this…this is beautiful!" Atemu exclaimed, looking at her now. She looked like she was in a trance, almost dazed, but hypnotized. She looked as if she was being drawn into its view.

Atemu had smiled. It was the first time today she was quiet and showing that semi-smile that showed her innocence. He sighed, feeling absolutely relaxed. He slowly became drawn into his thoughts, first off thinking about Mana.

Her smile, her expression, just the way she was looking of was amazing. He didn't know why, or how, but it just seems amazing…beautiful even. But he knew, deep in his heart, that her smile would always be more beautiful than anything he would see.

"Atemu…are you okay?" Mana said, giving a tired look in her ocean blue eyes. Atemu grinned, having a hint of excitement in his stomach. Just hearing her voice was…unbelievable.

"Um…Mana…I know, this sounds a bit nosy, but I was wondering…did you miss me when we were apart," Atemu asked, avoiding eye contact.

Mana sighed, acting like a mature lady. "Of course. Why wouldn't I? Atemu, you were the dearest friend I've ever had and…with all this time while we were apart…I…" Mana said, not knowing what to say next. So she decided to act like…Mana.

"While we were apart, I was going crazy! You have no idea what it's like without you and not having any good ideas to hide from magic lessons! Atemu, you're the one who actually made meaning in my life and -" Mana gasped, realizing what she had just blurted out.

Great, just great. Just when she decided to act like herself, she blurts out something that she promised not to tell him in a gazillion years. But when she looked at him once again, his rare smile – the kind you could barely see and only Mana, I repeat, ONLY Mana could make him smile – had shown up.

"Mana, I feel the same way. It's been different without you and…" Atemu couldn't finish his sentence either.

Mana had smiled childishly again and plopped herself on the soft sand. She giggled like a little kid leaned back by her arms. Atemu had sat down beside her, quiet differently and more maturely and something you would see from a pharaoh.

They were so different, yet they completed each other.

"Mana…do you think that we were given a second chance to see each other again?" Atemu asked, looking out to the sky. Mana nodded slowly.

"Yeah, but something tells me that it has more meaning. Like…we have to do something," Mana said, completely out of focus. Atemu chuckled, making that the last sound before an awkward silence.

"A-Atemu, d-do you remember t-that time back in E-Egypt?" Mana asked nervously. Atemu was taken aback for a second, and then knew what she was talking about.

Atemu and Mana were once again running away from their lessons, this time for a major reason; it was raining, heavily. Mana, the excited, enthusiastic person she was, dashed outside to catch the first drops of rain. Atemu had closely followed her, amazed by the rare weather.

"Prince – I mean Pharaoh, it is raining!" Mana exclaimed spinning around causing her clothes to be immediately wet. Atemu's nose had caught a raindrop. It felt so awkward; they hadn't felt it in such a long time that he had forgotten what it had felt like, just dropping randomly on the ground. It was pure, just like the young girl dancing around.

"Mana…" Atemu whispered, finally letting his whole body wet. It felt so different than the water he had felt before. Rain came from the sky. The water he always touched was from the river.

"Please, Pharaoh, join me!" Mana said through laughter, holding his hands while both of them span for a while. Atemu had started to smile, then had transformed beautifully into laughter, something that you wouldn't see everyday in a pharaoh.

Both of them had stopped, falling on the muddy ground, getting their clothes completely dirty. Mana had laughed once again. Atemu was exhausted but he knew Mana wasn't done playing. She never was. If it involved fun, she would do it, dragging Atemu with her.

This time, we was going to drag her around. He lifted himself from the ground and ran towards Mana. Her back was in front of him, so she didn't see him.

Atemu had wrapped his arms around her petite waist, making her burst out in shrieking giggles. He twirled her around, keeping his arms strong so she wouldn't get away. She pleaded for him to put her down, but still screaming in laughter.

"Pharaoh, please, put me down!" she giggled. Atemu had done what she asked, but did not let go.

"Mana, I will do as you say, but you have to follow one rule," Atemu whispered in her ear. She nodded, blushing harshly because of their close contact.

"You shouldn't call me 'pharaoh'. Today, I am simply Atemu," he said, making Mana smile.

"Okay, Atemu, but that doesn't mean that I'm following every rule," she giggled, finally escaping his arms. But as she ran, she screamed inside her head that she shouldn't have run away. Her skin had missed the touch of his arms and she wanted it back.

Atemu had begun chasing her, heading far from the place. Atemu was close behind, just a few more steps and he would be right beside her. Atemu did catch up while Mana gave up. She didn't even know why she was running when she wanted him near her.

But even as she slowed down, her foot slipped on a puddle of mud and caused her to fall. She closed her eyes while giving a shout for help. She prepared herself for the hard impact on her head and back, but it never came. Instead, two strong arms were once again around her, stopping her fall.

"T-thank you," she stammered, trying to give a friendly smile. But she couldn't. She was lost in his eyes.

Mana barely could feel the raindrops on her cheek anymore. She didn't feel the coldness take over her body, but warmth. Her fingers shook, making Atemu chuckled.

"I'm glad I spent this day with you. I can't think of any other way. Thank you, Mana," he said. She closed her eyes, loving the sound of voice, saying her name, knowing that he knew her.

"My pleasure," she giggled, putting both arms around his neck. Mana suddenly felt weird; she had hugged the pharaoh millions of times, but somehow it felt as if she had never been this close to him. Maybe because she hasn't. She started to be able to feel his soft breathe against her cheek. Defiantly, she had NEVER been this close to him.

Mana was about to become lost in her thoughts when Atemu suddenly placed his lips right on top of hers, being so gentle with her as her soul was to him. She tried to move in closer, only if it was possible, but instead she had deepened the kiss, making Mana forget everything instantly, even though it was momentarily.

Atemu had touched her cheek, sending shockwaves throughout her whole body. She had never felt so nervous in her life. He was the only one who could do that to her.

Mana had unwillingly stopped the kiss, but bit her lip and tasting a different taste in her lip. Atemu had smiled, kissed her on the cheek and held her hand. They knew if they stayed out any longer they would get sick, so they went back into the palace, having a moment to remember.

"Of course, Mana, of course I remember. Why wouldn't I? The whole kingdom found out and kept reminding me everyday. And I want to thank them because I never forgot about it; that day I had spent with my best friend," he said, giving off the rare smile. Mana felt her heart race, biting her lip just like that same day.

"Mana, I'll never forget about that or you," he said, kissing her on the cheek. She grew speechless, exactly like how she was so many years ago.

"Atemu...I'm still following your rule," she giggled, lying in Atemu's arms just like last time.

Long chapter! How did you like that? I loved typing the Egypt stuff, so much fluff. :D well, please review and I'll update sooner!
