I'm so stuck on The Yami in his corner, it's freaking crazy! What am I gonna do? [shakes head] Doesn't matter, I'll figure something out. Right, I do not own Yugioh, enjoy! [JAPANESE]

Chapter 2

Yami looked up at the many amazing carvings of animals that led up to the doorway of the Japanese palace. Each one was so intricate in its' own way that you couldn't help but be astounded by it. Like the tiger they were passing, it must have taken the artist half his life time to carve every piece of fur along its body. And the rest of his life to make the scrunched up nose of the tiger roaring, its sharp teeth and tongue, as well as those claws that looked as if they would strike at you at any given moment. The eyes of the tiger almost seemed to be darting you to touch it, just one stroke, so you could be within reach for it to take a swipe at you.

Yami was so captivated with the tiger he failed to notice that he had stopped walking. Well, at least until he heard a cough from behind him. Turning Yami saw that his Father, cousin, and two friends were a good 20 steps ahead of him. Taking one last look at the tiger, Yami ran to catch up.

;p;p;p;p

Yugi couldn't believe it, they were expecting visitors from Egypt, and his Grandpa had set up a date with Lady Rebecca. Yugi shudder, he wished his Grandpa would just accept that he didn't like girls or women. He was happier with men, and no amount of dating was going to change that.

Though, he had finally found a solution to the problem in the Royal Library. It fit his situation perfectly, and if it worked, Lady Rebecca and Crown Prince Otogi could get married without a single complaint.

Yugi couldn't help laughing to himself as he made his way to the throne room. The Egyptian visitors weren't meant to arrive for another sun movement, so he figured he still had time to make his case. Little did Yugi know, the visitors had arrived two sun movements early, and a meeting was in full swing in the throne room.

;p;p;p;p

"My son was insulted by your gift, Emperor Solomon, and unless you, somehow miraculously, produce a better one, we shall have a war on our hands," Pharaoh Akunumkanon said.

"I'm sorry Pharaoh Akunumkanon, but all of my grandchildren are either married or engaged. The only one who isn't is Crown Prince Otogi, and simply because he hasn't found a maiden suitable to his tastes yet." Solomon reasoned.

"Surely you must have one heir that isn't bound?" Akunumkanon questioned.

"I am sorry but there are none that-" Solomon started to say before two doors burst open from behind the throne. Solomon cringed when he heard the voice he least wanted to hear at that particular moment.

"Grandpa! I've found the solution to my problem with Lady Rebecca," Yugi said confidently striding into the room, failing to notice the hungry eyes of the Egyptians upon him.

Yami had never seen such a beautiful face before. Two large amethyst gems were captured in a small porcelain dolls face. The skin looked as if it was made from the finest cream any kingdom had to offer. The lips seemed to come from the palest of pink roses. The boy was beautiful, and Yami was completely his captured servant.

"Yugi, I don't think now is the-" Solomon started nervously looking from his Grandson to Prince Yami.

"Right, but just listen. It says here in 'in the declarations of war and marriage; that a son of the throne may back out of an arranged marriage, if it doesn't cause a war between the two countries.' So you see it works to help me out. Lady Rebecca is from Japan, so to back out of my marriage from her wouldn't lead to war. I win, and two weeks before marriage too," Yugi said proudly snapping the book shut and grinning at his Grandpa in a very smug way.

The translator that was in the room translated all of this into Khemet with a tired ease. Then he actually thought about what he just said. He was out of the room faster than anyone could stop him. The Emperor wasn't even paying attention though, Solomon was looking flabbergasted at his Grandson.

He couldn't believe he had beaten his test, and signed himself a one way ticket to Egypt. Yami moved towards the front to stand by his Father, a predatory and leering grin on his face. This boy was going to regret not listening to his Grandpa, that Yami was sure of.

"So basically what you're saying young Prince, is that you're no longer bound anymore?" Yami asked out loud, his hands clasped behind his back.

Yugi started and turned towards the voice. A blush erupted across his cheeks at the sight of the man. Crimson eyes, outlined in kohl, were gazing at him in pure amusement and want. The eyes were set in a perfectly tanned face, and two plush baby pink lips were smirking at him.

"Um, uh, no?" Yugi more asked than said.

Yami figured his Khemet was very poor, so he felt no restrictions in his next words, "then you should have no problem accompanying me back to Egypt, as a gift. Unless of course you would rather there be a war."

Yugi couldn't disagree more as he straightened to his full height of five feet. Who did this man think he was? Some average Royal who only knew his native tongue? Well, he was about to show him how much trouble assumptions could get you in.

"A gift?" Yugi sneered. Yami jumped, realizing with that one question he had understood him perfectly. "Crown Prince Yami Sennen, I am the third Prince in line for the throne, and you will address me in a more formal manner than what you have just shown. I am not a gift nor am I a prize to be won. My hand is open for marriage and I will accept nothing less than that right. If you will excuse me, I shall take my leave now, for I have been greatly insulted," Yugi stated in a stiff and affronted tone, walking back out the way he came in.

And could speak Khemet so well. Oh, well…at least there wouldn't be a language barrier.

As soon as the doors closed the Pharaoh smacked his son upside the back of his head for his insolence. Yami cringed as he still stared at the spot where the boy had been. No had ever had the nerve to deny him anything. This was a new feeling the Prince was unfamiliar with.

"That wasn't a slave or a servant son, that was a Prince of Japan. The way you just spoke to him was very disrespectful, and I expect you to apologize," Akunumkanon said looking extremely angry.

"Yes Father," Yami responded instantly.

"I will have a servant show you to your rooms. I have a feeling you will be staying more than a few sun movements here," Solomon said motioning to one of the many servants lining the hall.

"If you will follow me your highnesses," A small voice said bowing in front of them before walking off to the left double doors out of the throne room.

They just stood there, staring. Solomon let out a small chuckle and translated, after looking around and finding his original translator missing. The servant stuck their head back in through the doors, and motioned with a hand, to which they now followed, having knowing what it was they said now.

As soon as they were gone, Solomon let out a tired sigh. It was going to be an exhausting couple of days that he was sure of. Grunting, Solomon heaved himself out of the throne, and went to find his fourth Grandchild. Out of his five Grandchildren, Yugi was the favored one, not just by him, but by all of the family. Solomon wasn't sure how he was going to explain this new turn of events to his brothers and one sister, but he knew it wouldn't be easy.
