Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yami groaned and put his head into his hands in frustration. The tailor was getting awfully annoying at this point, chucking wedding garbs at him left and right. The tailor wouldn't stop ranting on and on of what Yami had already heard from Shimon. And the tailor seemed to be getting irritated more and more at the prince's actions.

The tailor knew very well that the prince didn't want to be here in the first place. He also realized that the prince wasn't too excited about his wedding arrangements. Plus, the wedding was to be in less than a week, and that was starting to stress the prince out too.

"Please my prince, just try on this last one. If it doesn't work, you can just come back tomorrow," the tailor pleaded, offering one last outfit to the prince.

Yami looked up at the middle-aged tailor, who was offering him yet another wedding garb. "Fine," he gruffly stated, grabbing at the articles of clothing.

Quickly changing behind a curtain on the other side of the room, Yami tied all of the laces together and stepped out so that the tailor could look him over.

"Hm…it looks like it fits you…does it feel okay?" the tailor asked, fixing a couple of stitches.

"It's fine…" Yami said, he attention going elsewhere.

Finishing up a couple more stitches, the tailor stepped back and admired his work. "What do you say…?"

'I say that it itches, is extremely tight, and I just want to get the hell out of here!' Yami shouted in his mind, slightly amused. "This will do, I'll be off now."

Going back and changing into his other clothes, and throwing the wedding garbs back at the tailor, Yami rushed out of the room. How he wished that the palace didn't have a personal tailor sometimes…

When Yami just passed the throne room, he heard a loud yell from around the corner. Curious of what Teana was screaming about this time, Yami crept up and peered around the corner to see what was going on.

"Get up you servants! What do you think you are doing, carelessly dropping those pots on the ground!" he heard Teana yell. "You both deserver at least thirty lashes for committing such a crime!"

'You're going too far Teana…' Yami thought as he stepped around the corner.

"You two stay here, while I get a guard so that you can serve your punishment. And if you dare move while I'm gone, you'll regret it, you two pieces of shi-ah! Yami! What a pleasant surprise!" Teana turned around to be face to face with her fiancé.

Yami's eyes narrowed, and Teana held back a flinch. "What did these two do to deserve such punishment?"

"T-they broke at least four priceless pots Yami! They should be punished!" Teana begged, going into innocent mode.

Yami stepped forward, causing Teana to step back. "That Teana is an unnecessary punishment. And I herby order all whippings to not go forward unless I allow it."

Yami looked over Teana's shoulder to see the two servants bowing with all their thanks to him. "You two. Just clean up this mess and get on with your other chores." The two servants bowed again and scooped up all of the pieces of pottery into their hand and quickly left.

Seeing that Teana didn't have anything more to say, Yami started to take his leave. "Wait!" he heard Teana cry out as he felt her grasp his arm.

"What Teana?" Yami tried not to growl.

"About that new order…when we become married, does that order go to me too?" Teana asked hopefully.

Yami's eyes narrowed yet again. He just couldn't take it anymore. "You know what Teana? I just can't bare your presence anymore. You will not be sharing the crown, you will not have any power, and you will not be married to me!" he burst out. "You've been the biggest pain in my whole life! You are the most idiotic person I've ever met! Now, if you'll be so kind as to, get. Out. Of. My. Palace," Yami stated, his voice reaching dangerous levels.

"But-"

"No. I won't take any of your pathetic excuses anymore. Go on, tell the priests what I have said, I'll have to rule this country sooner or later. You've been a pain in the ass to some, namely me. I want you gone. Now, get out!" Yami yelled.

Teana's eyes seemed to well up with tears that were threatening to fall, and while covering her face with one hand, she pushed Yami aside as she ran down the hall.

"Good riddance," Yami muttered under his breath.

Making sure that Yami was out of sight, Teana stopped and wiped her fake tears away and smiled. "You will marry me Yami dear, I will share the crown, and I will have all of your power over this country…"

Yami slammed the door of his room and groaned as he walked in and flopped onto his bed, eyeing Yugi every once and a while who was yet again looking out over the village.

"Is everything alright?" he heard Yugi ask in a small voice.

"Sort of…" Yami replied. "The tailor's annoying, Teana doesn't know what punishment is necessary, and I'm not getting married anymore!"

Yugi turned around. "You must be relieved!" he exclaimed.

"Thank the Gods," Yami half moaned.

Feeling the prince's depression, Yugi hopped off the balcony's railing and grabbed his ney. Making his way over to the miserable prince, Yugi sat down and started to play Yami's favorite tune.

Halfway through the tune, Yami's head lifted up, and scooted over to where Yugi was sitting. Yami then gave Yugi a small kiss on the cheek, and Yugi didn't seem fazed by it, and nonetheless still played the tune.

"You bring light to me everyday Yugi…even when I'm not in the best of moods…thank you," Yami whispered into Yugi's ear.

"Alright, you two take the little runt, and you need to come with me. You two, when you get the runt, bring him here and lock him up. The soldiers shouldn't wake up until tomorrow evening with the spell I hit them with earlier," Teana explained. "Does everyone know their posts?" she asked.

The three prisoners nodded and then the group was soon walking out of the dungeon. The smaller of the three prisoners stayed with Teana as instructed, while the other two went off in another direction, somewhat disappearing into the darkness.

With the prisoner from cell 67 following close behind. Suddenly stopping at a corner, Teana looked left to right, to see if any of the guards or priests were in sight. Seeing that it was clear, she then took a right turn and into the weaponry room.

Shuffling around the room, looking for the weapon that she desired, Teana found the items that she was looking for. "Here, take these knives and swords. They should be enough for you to do your thing," she smiled evilly.

"What quality are these? I want to make sure that I can do my job thoroughly, and without any difficulties," the prisoner asked, eyeing the weapons.

"The best quality that you'd ever find in this country," Teana expounded as she wrapped up some other items so that the two other prisoners could do what they were told.

Making sure that the weapons where wrapped up so that no one would suspect something was going on, Teana instructed, "you stay here until I come back, I need to give these to the other two."

The prisoner nodded, fully understanding.

-Four days Later-

Yugi packed all of the belongings that he had into a small bag. All that he really had was some pocket change, some clothes, and his instrument. In three days he would be leaving the palace and rejoining his musical group. He was happy that he was leaving, and yet he was sad that he would be leaving the palace. He would be able to see his friends, Ryou, Jonouchi, and Honda. But he would be leaving Yami also…he didn't know what to do.

Maybe he could ask to stay an extra day or two, but then that would probably throw off the whole orchestra schedule. And he couldn't possibly ask Yami to come travel with him; he would have a country to rule.

Putting his ney into the small bag, Yugi tied the bag up and placed it down on the floor.

Throughout the day, Yami had been doing various things involving the country's government and going into the village to see what the people really needed and such. So that meant that Yugi had been wandering the palace the whole day.

By the time the Ra had started to set, Yugi walked back into Yami's room and sat on the balcony's rail. He found himself here quite often, although he wasn't living in the palace that long. Seeing some of the troops had started going through the palace's gates, Yugi guessed that Yami was coming back now. Happiness exploding in him, Yugi jumped off the railing and started to walk to the main entrance to greet the prince.

Although he didn't get too far when two pairs of hands grabbed him and knocked him out.
