The Pharaoh and the Prince

Previously:

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."

Chapter 5: Yuugi's Story

They stared at each other for what seemed like eternity. Neither daring to make a move in fear that the other would soon disappear. Tears were gathered in both of their eyes. Neither spoke. Cautiously the Emperor took a step forward, ever so slightly, but that was all it took.

"DAAADDD!" Yuugi screamed as he raced down the steps away from the throne. He ran to his father as fast as his father started running towards him.

They crashed into each other and the Emperor sank to the ground on his knees. He couldn't believe he found his son, his little Yuugi. The people who came with the Emperor were just as surprised. They had all been Yuugi's friends and now they found him here. They had tears in their eyes from the touching scene while the Egyptian court was another story. They wore confused faces. How could someone who had been a slave in the palace for so long be the lost Roman Prince?

"Excuse me." Amethyst said bringing attention to the Emperor "But I think you should let go of Yuugi now. In about ten seconds all his friends are going to just about trample you to get a little bit of him."

The Emperor looked around at the faces of Yuugi's friends. It was clear that it was getting hard for them to just watch and they really wanted a hug from their friend. So he gave Yuugi one last squeeze before he moved away with Amethyst. As soon as he was away everyone else was right on top of him giving him the biggest group hug ever. Directly in the middle of all of this was Joey, Tea, Ryou, Malik, and Tristan.

The group hug started to break up after about 5 minutes after it started. People had tears in their eyes until realization dawned on everyone including to the Emperor. Yuugi, their Prince, was kneeing, like a slave, next to the Pharaoh. He had never mentioned that he was here and so that had to mean one thing. The Pharaoh was the one that kidnaped Yuugi.

"You!" The Emperor turned to the Pharaoh with a hateful glare "You had him here all this time. You who dare to call yourself our friend and ally. You took my son."

"What are you talking about?" Said the Pharaoh standing up "I did not know that Yuugi was a Prince. If I had do you think I would have kept him as my slave and not returned him."

"You lying bastard. I will have your head and the heads of all your Priests. Guards seize the Pharaoh."

They all rushed forward each with their own mind full of deadly intent. The Pharaoh's guards also jumped forward in an attempt to protect the Pharaoh and his Priests. Swords met swords and blood began to spill. Amethyst had pulled Yuugi out of the way before the fighting started. Amethyst could tell he wanted to go to the Pharaoh but she had to make sure he didn't get hurt.

"Master let me go." Yuugi said as he struggled in her arms "I have to help the Pharaoh."

"I know you do but I can't let you go." She said turning him around so she could look in his eyes "It's my job to make sure you are safe and if you go out there you will get hurt."

"How do you know I will get hurt?"

"Because you are untrained and an easy target."

"Fine then. Reunite me with my dark side." He said with a princely authority.

"Yuugi…" She stared at him not sure if she heard him correctly.

"I may not know how to fight but he does. So come on! Reunite us."

"I don't think I can. He is sealed in your black crown."

"Then give me the crown." He said but he could tell she was still reluctant "That's an order."

"As you wish." She said with a sigh.

Anyone who knew Yuugi knew that he hated ordering people around even as a young boy. If he did order you to do something you had better do it. So she summoned her dark magic and brought forth a black, silver, and amethyst box. Yuugi walked over to her and opened the box. Lying in there was a beautiful crown, the same colors as the box. He handed the crown back to Amethyst and knelt on the ground in front of her.

She placed the crown on his head and a jolt seemed to have gone through him. His appearance began to change. He grew slightly taller, enough that it was visible, and lightning bolt bangs appeared in his hair which was now tipped with a crimson amethyst mix, the same color as his eyes. He stood and bowed to Amethyst.

"Thank you Master." He turned to run off when she grabbed him by the upper arm. He spun to face her.

"Do not get to comfortable." She said with a stern look "You are here to help save this alliance not to reunite with you hikari. Protect the Pharaoh and when you are finished take off the crown. Understood?"

"Understood."

"Good. Now go."

While this was transpiring all around them a battle had started to rage. The Egyptian guards had more numbers but the Romans had the Mage Guard. Although it was less in numbers and made up of teenagers each had their own dark side, someone stronger that could help them when they needed it. Most of them were just there to help, a minor dark, but he, he was a true dark. When you are a true dark you have your own name, mind, and emotions. There were only two other true darks in existence besides him. Bakura, Ryou's dark side, and Marik, Malik's dark side. His name was Yami meaning dark, which is what he was.

He franticly looked around for his Pharaoh. Wait. What? Atemu wasn't his Pharaoh he was Yuugi's Pharaoh. Shaking that off he spotted Ryou, well Bakura, fighting with a guard that look somewhat like him. As he continued to move he spotted Marik again fighting someone who looked like him. Finally he found Atemu. He was standing by his throne with a sword in his hand, the priest surrounding him on every side. But what he really noticed was the Roman guard that had snuck by their defenses and was moving up towards Atemu's back.

He started running. He ran through a group of guards, not harming them, and towards the steps to the throne. He summoned a sword of black magic and continued running. He could see the Roman getting closer, a sword aimed to cut Atemu's head off his shoulders. Yami gave it one last push and just barely made it there before the guard.

"NOOO!" He yelled as he blocked the sword.

Everyone stopped and looked up at them. What happened next shocked everyone. With a wild grin on his face, Yami summoned a dagger of black magic and shoved it into the Roman's throat. Everyone then watched as the man burst into flames and died leaving nothing but ash. Amethyst then approached Yami giving him a stern look the closer she got.

"I know. I know." He said "I'm taking it off."

He removed the crown and handed it back to her. As he did this he lost some height and his hair and eyes changed back to their normal amethyst color. Atemu just stared at him while this was happening wondering what had just transpired. Yuugi turned around and hugged Atemu, tears running down his face.

"I was s-so w-worried about you." He said "I couldn't l-let the guard h-hurt you. It w-would have been m-my fault."

"Yuugi it's okay." He said after he had gotten over his shock and started to hug him bag "Everything is okay. Nothing is going to happen to me or you. Okay. Look at me love."

Yuugi looked up at him and when he did Atemu smiled. He kissed away the tears running down his face and then kissed him fully on the lips. The kiss was slow but passionate. It made both of them forget, if only for a minute, that they were no alone. Someone cleared their throat bringing the two away from each other. They looked up to see the Emperor and the Pharaoh' priests standing around them.

"It would seem we have much to discuss." The Emperor said looking at the Pharaoh and his son. Atemu released Yuugi and turned to fully face him.

"Yes." He said "I guess we do."

ΔΩβΑΣ ─────────────────────────Three Hours Later─────────────────────────ΣΑβΩΔ

"Let me get this straight." Started Seto. He had been listening this whole time and was pretty sure he understood what was going on. "Yuugi is the lost prince of Rome. When he was born he received a true darkness who is, basically, his other half. But when he was five you, his father, had his other half and best friend sealed into a crown only to be used in times of emergencies."

"Then," continued Isis "A year later, he had mainly recovered from the separation when he and his mother were cruelly taken from the palace by masters of magic. He and his mother were then sold into slavery in Egypt in hopes it was far enough away from Rome that they wouldn't be found."

"However," Mahado continued "Amethyst had taught every royal to ever rule Rome and their families everything they would need to know about being a slave or servant. So, when they were taken and sold they just went by Yuugi's mother's maiden name when asked who they were. They spent years moving from place to place and although they were royalty they continued to keep up the farce that they were nothing more than slaves."

"Finally," finished Atemu "Your mother died of an unknown illness and your previous master sold you into slavery to work at the palace. That is when you met me and we fell in love and completely forgot about your title until Tristan showed up. That's when you talked to him and told him what happened to you. Then your father came without knowing you were here. Thought I was the one that took you. Your darkness saved me and ended the battle."

"Yep. That pretty much sums it up." Said Yuugi. He was surprised when the Master told him that she had given herself a name so that she would never forget the color she was looking for.

"So…what now?" Asked Atemu.

Truth is no one really knew what to do next. It was obvious that Yuugi and Atemu were in love by the way Yuugi sat in Atemu's lap through the entire explanation. The Emperor had sat next to them holding Yuugi's hand and not letting go the entire time. He wasn't letting his son out of his sight, not after how long it took him to get him back. He didn't know what to do but he knew what he had to do.

He turned his head to look at Yuugi as Yuugi turned to look at him. He stared into his son's eyes and could in his son's eyes was the look of knowing. He knew what his father was going to say and he knew he was going to dread every moment of it. He sighed.

"I know what we are going to do." He said as he stood and moved to stand in front of the Pharaoh and his son. He could see the tears in his son's eyes but he steeled himself against their effect and focused on the Pharaoh.

"Yuugi will be coming back to Rome. With me."
