The Pharaoh and the Prince

Chapter 4: Two Months Later; Reunited

Two months had passed since Tristan had come to Egypt with the news of the Roman Emperor coming for a visit. He and his court were arriving tomorrow and preparations were just about done. The pharaoh was still in the throne room working with his priest while Yuugi was is his chambers. He was alone with his thoughts and couldn't help but feel excited and sad.

'I can't wait to see my friends and dad but I might not want to go back with them.' He thought as he walked out onto the balcony 'I loved my home and miss them but I don't want to leave my life here. I've made new friends and I fell in love.'

Meanwhile in the Throne Room:

"Pharaoh preparations are just about done." Said Seto "We can finish up if you wish to go and rest before they arrive."

"Thank you Seto I think I will." Replied the Atemu with a smile.

Atemu was walking to his chambers when he heard yelling down the hall. He could guess who it was but he didn't need to. He rounded the corner to find Bakura and Marik both back in the palace and back at it. It sounded as if they were having the same argument they always have when they get back from a job. Who did it better and who was the best. He cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Hey pharaoh." Said Mariku "How was the palace while we were gone?"

"Yeah. Did you miss us?" Said Akeifa with a smirk.

"As much as you missed me Thief." Atemu replied with a smirk of his own.

"You persist in calling him that. You know he hates being reminded of his past." Said Mariku with a slight chuckle.

"Shut-up, Tomb Robber." Akeifa said with a glare.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"Hehehe. As much fun as it is to watch you guys yell at each other I have to go and get my rest." Said Atemu as he started to leave "The Emperor of Rome is coming tomorrow and I need to be at my best."

"Alright. See you later Pharaoh." Mariku said with a wave as Atemu headed down the hall.

He finally reached the door to his chambers and nodded to the guards. He entered his chambers and immediately looked for Yuugi but he didn't see him. He frowned and shut the door. Walking further into the room he found the doors to the balcony open and his little one was sitting on the railing looking at the Nile. Atemu was caught staring at him with a tender smile.

'How can anyone be so lucky?' Atemu thought 'I have everything in Yuugi. He is so beautiful.'

In truth, Yuugi really did look amazing in this setting. The moon was making his white skin look like the purest porcelain. The pharaoh knew that he was so lucky in what he had here but a slight shiver from the boy made him realize how cold it really was. He didn't want to disturb Yuugi when he was in such deep thought but he had to get him out of the cold.

"It is getting rather cold, little one." Atemu said as he walked out onto the balcony and to Yuugi's side "I believe it is time to come inside."

"Sorry Atemu." Yuugi said as he walked into the tender arms of his lover "I was just…thinking."

"About what?"

"Nothing you need to worry about."

Atemu was going to ask many follow up questions but suddenly his stomach growled. Yuugi looked at his lover's stomach before giggling. Atemu blushed slightly.

"Well it seems as if someone's hungry." Yuugi said, still giggling "Maybe, I should go get the pharaoh his dinner before he starves."

"You don't have to little one." Atemu said looking down "I can have any other servant go and get it."

"No. I want to. You always have other servants do things that are meant for me to do."

"But that is because you are my little one and I don't want you to do more than you have to."

"But this is something I have to and want to do." Then he pulled out the puppy dog eyes "Please Atemu."

"Okay fine." Atemu said after giving in to Yuugi's eyes.

"Yeah!" Yuugi exclaimed before kissing Atemu on the lips and running out the doors.

'I swear if Yuugi wanted to, he could take over all of Egypt just by giving me that one look.' Atemu thought as he walked to lay on his bed. He could take a quick nap before Yuugi came back with his dinner.

Meanwhile, Yuugi was on his way down to the kitchens when he noticed a pair of guards following him around. He didn't know them and he could see that they would be trouble and that he would have to stay away from them. He continued down to the kitchens and got Atemu's meal. He didn't bother for his own dinner because he knew that Atemu would make allow him to have some of his dinner. Servants and slaves got barely anything so Atemu usually ordered food for both of them or gave him some of his.

He started back up to Atemu's chambers when he again noticed the two guards and that they were in his path. He clutched the tray in his hands and tried to move by them as fast as he could but they moved in front of him.

"Well, well, well. What have we here?" Said the guard on the left.

"It looks like the pharaoh's pet is out." Said the guard on the right.

"L-let me p-pass." Yuugi said trying to be brave "The p-pharaoh is a-awaiting his d-dinner."

"I don't think he will mind if we try you out. Do you Pegasus?" Said the man on the right.

"No. I don't think he will Dartz." Said the one known as Pegasus.

They both gave him an evil smirk. Just then Pegasus grabbed him by the throat causing him to drop the tray. He was pinned against the wall as he felt Pegasus' hand slide over his member. He gasped allowing for Pegasus to slip a gag in. Yuugi continued to struggle and elbowed Pegasus in the stomach. He was dropped and he pulled the gag out of his mouth only to have Dartz slip his throbbing member into his mouth. Yuugi tried to push the offender away and he tried to scream but he couldn't. He could hear Dartz moaning, as if he was giving him pleasure on purpose.

Dartz was enjoying the little slave. Even if he was doing this to him by force it by force it was still the greatest feeling in the world. Beside him, Pegasus was growing hard at the sight of his lover's cock inside the slave's mouth. Yuugi wasn't getting any pleasure and was starting to cry. Until, suddenly, the offender's member was removed from his mouth by, what seemed like, force. He looked up in front of him to see none other than the Master. She was really there glaring down at his enemies like she always had. At that moment, he couldn't have been happier.

"What do you think you are doing?" She said her voice filled with anger and a glare aimed to kill.

"What are we doing?" Said Pegasus standing up from where she had knocked him down "What are you doing?"

"I am here to save my Prince from your attempt at raping him."

"Prince!" Dartz said with a smile barely holding in his laughter "Ha! That kid is nothing more than a slave."

"Where I am from he is a Prince." She said her voice even but still filled with evil intent "But since he must remain a slave until his father is here I have one thing to say to you."

They both stepped towards her ready to hear the lie or comment she would say. Then they planned to attack her and capture her. Then bring her to the Pharaoh to get credit. She leaned in real close and whispered one word filled with magic and power.

"Sleep."

And with that they fell to the ground. They were fast asleep. She then proceeded to get lower bending over their heads to get close to their ears. She whispered another spell into their ears this one to make them forget and return to chambers.

"Tonight you shall forget but later you will regret. Now I return thee to thy beds. Sleep soundly while thy have thy heads."

With that they were whisked off to their chambers with no memory of what happened and the mysterious woman. The Master turned around to face her young prince. She walked over and knelt in front of him. She cupped the side of his face and smiled at him.

"Yuugi…" She said in a voice so soft and sweet in direct contrast to the voice she had used before.

"M-Master i-is that r-really y-you?" Yuugi asked through teary eyes still trying to grasp at reality.

"Yes Yuugi it is. But shouldn't it be I who asks if it really you?"

"I guess that would make sense. But how did you find me?"

"My Prince did you really believe I would come to Egypt, with the knowledge you were in the palace, and not come straight here to check on you?" She said as she stood the Yuugi up and looked him over "Honestly. Do you not know me at all?"

"I'm sorry. I guess you're right." He said with a little blush which quickly faded "But why are you here now? My father isn't arriving until tomorrow."

"I used my instant movement to get here faster. As for your father, he doesn't know you are here."

"What!? Why not!?"

"We wanted it to be a surprise."

"If he sees me dressed as a slave kneeling next to the Pharaoh he will think he kidnaped me. He will want a war. Do you know what that would mean?"

"Yuugi. Your worries will never come true. Your father will listen to me when I say that the Pharaoh didn't know you were a Prince. I am sure the Pharaoh and Priest's reactions will be more than convincing."

"Okay. Alright. I guess you're right." He said looking down "But what do I do now?"

"Well I believe that you have a Pharaoh to feed."

"Oh Ra! I completely forgot." He said with his eyes wide like saucers "But the food is ruined and if go back to the kitchens they will ask what happened the original food. What do I do?"

With a wave of her arm the Master made the tray fly into Yuugi's hands. She then made the food return to the tray as if it was never on the floor. Yuugi looked at her in awe. He could never could get over the power she had.

"Take that back with you to his chambers and I will see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Goodbye."

Then she disappeared and Yuugi was alone in the hall. He walked back to the Pharaoh's chambers where he found the man asleep. He shook his head and giggled a little.

'Well it seems all that worrying about Atemu missing me seems to hold no means.' He thought as he walked to the bed side table and placed the tray down 'He must have fallen asleep when I left and he will believe me if I tell him that I didn't want to wake him.'

He then proceeded to shake Atemu on the shoulders but the man simply turned over and mumbled something about five more minutes.

"Atemu. You have to get up." Yuugi said "I brought your food and you need to eat before you go to back to sleep."

"Huh. Alright, alright. I'm up." He said sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"Good. Now eat and then you can go back to sleep."

"Yes sir." Atemu said giving him a mock salute.

Atemu ate quickly after handing Yuugi some of the food from the plate, which he happily took. Once he was finished Yuugi brought the tray to the door of the chambers and went back to the bed. He was pulled onto the bed by Atemu where he cuddled by his lover.

The next morning they heard a banging on the door. Atemu knew it was Seto coming to yell at them for not being up yet. Atemu walked to the door and opened it and sure enough there was his cranky cousin Seto ready to yell at him.

"You were supposed to be up half an hour ago." He said as he stormed into the room "Why aren't you getting ready?"

"Because I just woke and I it takes time to get ready and I will be before the Emperor gets here." He said walking over to his cousin after shutting the door "You need to calm down. None of the other priests are going crazy so neither should you."

"Okay. Alright. But you might want to wake Yuugi up to help you get ready. I know he doesn't like anyone but him touching you." Seto said, ending it with a smirk.

"Uh. Yes. Well." Atemu yammered with a slight blush "Don't you have somewhere else to be?"

"Yes I do. But remember to get ready."

Seto left, closing the door behind him. Atemu sighed and walked to his little one on the bed. He didn't want to wake him up but they had to get ready.

"Little one. It's time to wake up." He said as he shook the younger's shoulders.

"Mmm…Five more minutes." Yuugi said rolling over.

"No little one now. We must prepare ourselves for the Emperor's arrival."

"Okay. I'll *yawn* get up."

"Good. I love you, little one."

"And I love you Atemu."

After Yuugi had gotten out of bed he hurried Atemu into the bathing chambers and put him in the tub. He stripped himself and got in to clean Atemu's back and hair. After some attempts by Atemu to turn the bath into a round of lovemaking, they were finally clean and proceeded to get dressed. Once Yuugi was dressed he went over and helped Atemu put on his clothing, jewelry, and outlining his eyes in kohl.

They arrived at throne room just as the Emperor and his court arrived at the gates of the palace. The priests were in their positions, except for Seto for he was greeting his guests, as Atemu sat in his throne and Yuugi knelt next to him. He nodded to his priest and gave Yuugi's hand once last squeeze before the doors to the throne room opened.

They came in with Amethyst leading the way to make sure of no threats. She was followed by her apprentices and the Mage Guard. An elite group of mages she thought to be the best, next to herself, to protect the Emperor and fight his battles. Finally came in a man garbed in a green robe with gold enlace and white trims. This was Emperor Darkshadow and as he looked up at the Pharaoh what he say stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Yuugi?" He said but it was barely a whisper but it travelled to the young boy all the same. Yuugi stood up from his position kneeling nest to the Pharaoh, tears welling in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"Dad."
