Chapter 14: The Princes True Princess.
"Anzu… Are you ready to go back to the palace now?" he asked in a soft tone as he continued to rest his chin upon my head. I had been crying for so long Yami's shoulder had a darkened wet stain from all my tears that I had shed that day. I turned my gaze up at him his Maroon eyes gazing back at me almost if seeing right though me. I couldn't find the words to speak all I could do was nod my head in an up and down motion symbolizing that yes. I was finally ready to go back to that palace with my Egyptian prince.
Meanwhile back in the sandstone palace walls, Isis paced back and forth as a bandit came running into the vast room. Hearing his sandals flap against the stone, Isis turned around. Glaring at the young man with her emerald eyes she left out an aggravated sigh.
"What is it this time?" she asked to the terrified bandit who wasn't sure if it was better to have been killed by the young prince or to stand before Princess Isis as he told her the news of her plan. Grasping whatever was left of his pride he managed to mumble out his information.
"My…my… lady. The prince… the mission failed."
"What do you mean it failed?" she questioned in a harsh and icy tone as her eyes narrowed on the fragile bandit before her.
"Master Bakura… He saved the girl. However in the process he lost his own life. I didn't see what happened after I just thought I should came back here to inform you." The young bandit managed to meekly state as he watched the princesses, rage grew more and more.
"Are you telling me that there is a chance that the prince at that foul commoner are with each other again and maybe on their way back to this palace?" she questioned her eyes narrowing even more as she glared at the bandit. The bandit fidgeted under her intense gaze before he looked her in the ye and replied. "Yes."
Before the poor dirty bandit has time to think, he was pinned to the ground by some of the palace guards. Isis stood erect, as she looked down at the man on the floor.
"Take him away." she ordered in a harsh raspy tone as she turned her attention back to her stone desk. 'My plan is falling apart. It looks like I'm going to have to rid myself of the peasant girl myself.' she thought silently to herself as she began to plot ways of getting rid of her one rival that stood between her and an empire.
Meanwhile back to the desert, the night sky was just beginning to show. Tiny glistening stars began to spread themselves into the black velvet above the two lovers head. I felt so awkward around Yami now that everything had happened with Bakura. But then again how could I not? From his point of view he must have seen it as a betrayal after all he came to save me and what did he find. Me in the arms of another guy! How was I going to explain this to him? Would he truly believe me when I said that I didn't know any better? That I had taken a bad blow to the head that made me forget everything about my life before that instant on the battle field as I watched the two men fighting. Ever since the battle he really hasn't said anything!
Averting my gaze over in his direction, I almost shivered. The look on his face was that poker face of his as he was trying his best to start a fire. Which I guess was one of the first times for him. Seeing how it took him a few tries but he never let his frustration show. Suddenly his maroon eyes gazed up at me. I almost jumped out of my seat on the desert sand as my head fly the opposite direction from his. My heart pounded ferociously in my chest. What could I do? Should I break our silence or should I just let if go until we got back to the palace where we would hardly ever be alone.
However during my freaking out period of what to do, I was surprised when Yami's arms wrapped out me with a small blanket. His hold was almost as surprising. I mean yeah I knew guys were said to be stronger then women, but I never really saw Yami as the strong hero of my life. However for in instant in his arms cuddled under the baby soft yellow blanket, I realized that for that one instant I felt perfectly safe from everything. Nothing was ever going to tear me away from him.
"Anzu…we have a long journey tomorrow. Try to get some sleep." he whispered into my left ear. I felt my face heat up this was going to be the first night that we ever shared together. My head was traveling though all the events of the day. I had to tell him. Even if he didn't believe me he needs to know my reasons for being with Bakura. Just thinking of Bakura's name made me shiver. Had he really been that bad of a guy? He killed my mother and the entire village of Phar? Had the man that gave up his life for me truly that bad of a person? Or was there a reason for everything he did? I guess I'll never know. Yami's arms tightened around me. I looked up at his face. His maroon eyes we're taking in all of me intently. I felt my face go red beneath his gaze. It was then that all the worries I had been thinking about began to come flooding out.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for running away. I'm sorry for Bakura. I'm sorry about everything!" I blurted out as my arms embraced him tightly. I never wanted to let him go. All I could do was hope that he would forgive me. Yami's arms continued to hold me.
"Anzu. It's alright. Your back now and your safe. However. I have had one question that's been in my mind for days now." he began I looked up at him quickly. What did he want to know? His maroon eyes took on a new look in them something that Yami rarely ever showed it was almost a hurt expression on his face as his words came tumbling out of his mouth.
"Why did you leave?" he asked. My head went flying back though all those terrible memories I had seen of him and Isis in the gardens. Her constant complains to Yami about their wedding postponements' and her harsh tone she had used to describe me. The little brown haired girl that she obviously couldn't stand. I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. How could I have been so stupid? I jumped to my own conclusion to Yami's Feelings about me and about him and Isis.
"I left because… I over heard you and Isis in the gardens my last night." I managed to whimper out as I raised my hands up to my eyes to wipe some of the forming tears away.
"I heard you two arguing about some wedding postponements and I couldn't help think that you… maybe… didn't have those types of feelings for me. But for Isis." I managed to blurt out my upset expression truly sowing on my red face. Yami looked at me and almost smiled as he took his index finger to the top of my forehead and flicked it lightly.
"You silly goose. How could you possibly think that? Do you know what it means when a prince takes a young lady to his room?" he asked with a small chuckle as my dumb founded face told him my answer. I tried to think about what it could mean but I couldn't. I shook my head quickly and he took hold of my right hand and placed a kiss on it.
"It means I've chosen you, as my princess. And as long as I wish it you will be treated just like you were born of royal blood. I came out all this way just for you. Because I don't think I could go on living if something bad had happened to my princess." he stated the words flowing out of his mouth calmly as he gazed into my eyes. I felt my heart melt at his words and soon enough I had fallen asleep in his arms. His strong and protective grasp held me all night long. This crown prince of Egypt was mine.
