Chapter 15: Face to Face

"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.

When I woke up I realized that those arms that had held me last night were no longer there. Slowly I opened my eyes to crisp and dry desert morning. As my eyes adjusted I looked around hoping to see where Yami had gone off too. Once my eyes fully adjusted I saw him sitting over by the fire he had made last night. I listened softly she see if I could hear if he had a fire going or not seeing how his body was blocking my view of it. I listened for anything a small crackle here and there however there was nothing but silence. Suddenly his head turned toward me and gave me that twisted smile of his.

"Geez. I thought you were dead the way you were sleeping." he called over to me giving me a smirk. I felt some anger build up in me. Why did he always have to tease me? But then again. How long was I even out? However who in their right mind would be counting the hours in the desert? It goes on for miles and miles of nothing but sand. The sound of sand crunching slowly forced me to snap out of my thoughts as I looked up just in time to see Yami's face come down to my eye level.

"We have to leave in a few minutes. I want to try to make it back to the palace by the next two days Anzu. If you don't mind." He stated as he took my face in his hands and continued to stare deep into my blue eyes. I felt my face grow redder by the second suddenly Yami's face was a lot closer to mine. What the heck is he doing?! I didn't even wake up yet and here he was holding my face not letting me move. All of it was making me angry but at the same time my body was practically jumping for joy. Had I really missed him this much during my days of amnesia that I was just dying for him to be around me and only me? Realizing what was going to happen next according to Yami, I braced myself for a kiss. I was braced for awhile. Suddenly the silence was broken by raspy chuckle.

My eyes darted open only quickly to see what was so funny.

"Whoa?!... What's so funny?" I demanded as I gave a look of annoyance to him. He looked up at me with that crooked smile of his.

"Sorry… no… kiss… for…you." He gasped in-between his bought of laughter. I looked at him completely shocked. I mean if he wasn't going to kiss me what was he doing holding my face and placing his face that close to me for? Why did it always seem that Yami was always playing with my head? It's almost as if he wants me to have a nervous melt down.

"Fine" I managed to pout out the words not wanting to start a fight with the only person around for miles. I broke free of his hands and sat up shaking some of the sand off of me. Yami sat up smiling as well as he looked at me with those maroon eyes of his. It didn't take us long to set out. After all we only had a few belongings to take with us. The yellow blanket and of course Yami's camel. After everything was well loaded onto the camels back Yami turned to me and took my hand in his slowly.

"Ready for a boost?" he asked wit that strange smile once more. Strange as it was though it always melted my heart. Grasping his hand firmly ready for the boost he suddenly picked me up bridal style.



"Yami!?" I called out in confusion. He looked down at me in his arms. I was trying my best to get him to put me down. Although all I could really do was through my one arm around; the one he didn't have a death grip on. Honestly Why did he always have to get me off guard?

"About this morning… I'm sorry." He stated firmly as he continued to look down at my face his expression completely sympathetic. However that look soon changed into a look most foul.

"It's just that the thought of that man that close to you makes me angry. Even now that he's gone you still smell of him and his bandits." He stated coldly. I felt my heart practically freeze over at how his words were coming out of his mouth. Was that the reason why he had acted the way he had? Could it be that this prince of Egypt was actually jealous of a mere bandit? I couldn't help but smirk a little at the thought. Yami's face dropped as he saw my face.

"Don't get me wrong it's just the thought of the great Prince of Egypt being jealous is all. I mean you have pretty much everything you could ever want the thought that you got jealous over something like that just makes me laugh a little." I explained hoping his eyes would stop looking into mine like that. Suddenly that twisted smile crossed his face. That smile of his always made me feel a little uneasy; however it also made me happy because I knew that he always made it when he was around me. Suddenly Yami came to a dead holt. My head jerked forward and then banged back against his chest as he continued to hold me bridal style. My eyes darted quickly in front of us. I felt my eyes begin to heat up there in front of us stood that dreaded princess Isis.
