This is going to be my last update for this story until I get The Yami in his corner finished. Since I'm almost done with it, you guys shouldn't have that long to wait. I just need to do Yugi's part, mystery story part, and the finale and I'm done. So I shall see ya'll in seven chapters. I do not own Yugioh, enjoy! [JAPANESE]
Chapter 5
Walking into the dining hall, Yugi winked at his two servants, and being in front of Prince Yami, he never saw the exchange. Yami only saw Yugi's personal servants look at one another and grin in a knowing way. Prince Yami pulled back Prince Yugi's chair, for the young Prince to sit down in, over his head however he winked at his friends. Looking up Prince Yugi found Yami's companions smirking in his direction. He just nodded his head at them before looking to his Grandpa and nodding once. Emperor Solomon grinned, Prince Yami had proposed.
Yugi couldn't have asked for a quicker proposal than if the Gods of both Japan and Egypt were looking down upon them in favor. Whatever the cause he couldn't be more thankful, now he didn't have to worry about anymore Princesses, Ladies, or Duchesses trying to seduce him. The only one whom had never tried was Lady Rebecca, and that was because she had never been interested in him in the first place. She had always liked Crown Prince Otogi, and he her.
Yami looked toward his Father and smirked, a sure sign for the Pharaoh that his son had acquired the young Prince. Though from Prince Yugi's swollen lips, he had acquired more than just his hand in marriage. It seemed his son had stolen a kiss too.
Dinner continued in silence with knowing smiles and looks passing at the table in the only form of conversation. When it was over, Yugi volunteered to escort the elder Prince back to his quarters, so he wouldn't get lost. Yami thought it couldn't be too perfect; the young Prince was making it too easy for him. If only Yami knew why Yugi really wanted to escort him back, he wouldn't be thinking Yugi was an easy catch.
"It's a beautiful night out isn't it Prince Yugi?" Yami questioned as they passed a window.
"Okay you can cut that out right now, Yami," Yugi said turning to him and coming to an abrupt halt outside his chambers.
Yami looked down at the young Prince in shock. Wasn't he just saying before that it was disrespectful of them to address one another without titles? What was he playing at?
"What?" Yami asked in confusion.
"You heard me; you can stop trying to seduce me right now," Yugi said back with a small smirk of his own playing at his lips. Yami's jaw dropped, how by the sands of Egypt did he know Yami was trying to seduce him?
"Anyway, I wanted a quick engagement, same as you, but don't think it's going to be so simple here on out. Oh, and my personal servants they are coming with us, or I don't come at all," Yugi said still smirking before he pointed behind Yami and his smirk turned into a grin.
Yami turned to look behind him to see two figures lurking in the shadows. They waved at him, and he could almost see them smiling at him too. Yami turned back to Yugi, his own plan formulating in his mind. Sure he'd allow them to come, but he wanted something from Yugi in return first.
"Alright, they may come, Yugi, but first you must give me a kiss, one for each of them," Yami said back his on devious smirk on his face.
"Oh, no I don't think so. You're used to getting your way, and so am I, but let me show you how I do it," Yugi said his voice getting soft while lowering his head.
Yami wondered what Yugi was going on about. Looking defeated was how he got his way? Well that wouldn't do much good on Yami. He liked his enemies to look defea-. His thoughts froze in their tracks when Yugi's head snapped back up. Staring at him were those gorgeous big amethyst gems, only they appeared even larger than normal. They almost seemed to be shaking at him too, as crystalline tears formed at the corners of those eyes. And that bottom lip, oh how it quivered. The face he was presented with broke Yami's heart he just wanted to agree with anything that the young Prince said if only to see a smile back on that face.
"Please let them come, Yami? Please let my personal servants come with me to Egypt?" Yugi's voice penetrated his thought in a soft almost crying whisper. Yami found himself nodding enthusiastically.
"Excellent!" Yugi said suddenly all cheer as he snapped his fingers and began to walk away.
"Master can be quite the actor sometimes," A male's voice spoke up as it passed him on his left.
"A little too good if you ask me, Malik," A female's voice said in reply walking passed him on his right.
"Yes, but things do tend to be better for us that way, Mira," Malik responded back.
"Indeed," Mira giggled in response.
Yami watched as Yugi paused at the corner and waited for the two to catch up, looking behind him straight at Yami himself. Once the two had caught up and were exactly one step behind him, Yugi raised his hand at Yami and then turned the corner out of sight, his servants trailing behind. Yami couldn't have felt more played, than he did just then.
;p;p;p;p
"Well that was fun," Yugi commented to Malik and Mira as soon as they turned the corner.
"He didn't even last a second, Yug'," Malik said in disappointment.
"That's only because he hasn't tried to build up a resistance yet," Mira said back.
"Plus he was unprepared. Oh you should have seen the way he just froze, like a deer caught in a trap. Of course, I will not use this on him too often whilst he is here, we wouldn't want him to build up a resistance so early in the engagement," Yugi said with amusement in his voice.
"Yes, what fun would that be?" Malik asked rhetorically.
"No fun at all," Mira answered anyway.
The three friends burst out in laughter. Yes, even though Yugi was Master to these two servants he treated them as his best friends. Mira had been proclaimed his servant when her Mother died in the slaves' quarters and five months old Yugi had taken an interest in the two year old. Malik had come to be his servant when Yugi took pity on him when he saw how horribly he was being treated by a council member. That was the day that Emperor Solomon found Yugi's puppy dog eyes of doom to be ten times worse than his late daughter-in-law's. So at age three Malik was put in the care of a five year old Prince and seven year old servant. Despite the two year age difference between Yugi and his two servants, they still ended up as his closest friends.
Yugi and his servants made it back to Yugi's chambers where both immediately fell into their normal duties. Mira picked up the clothing off the floor, and tidied up the room. Malik helped Yugi to get undressed and handed the used clothes to Mira before preparing the Prince's bath. Yugi washed his own body and dried himself off, before Malik helped him into his night clothes. Yugi's night clothes consisted of a simple white night gown that slipped over his head.
After tucking the Prince into his bed, the two bade him good night and headed to their own separate rooms that were adjoined to Yugi's. Yugi stared out his open balcony doors and waited until he heard Malik's soft snoring, and Mira's gentle sleep talking. Once those to noises filled his chambers, Yugi shook off the covers and dressed into some tight fitting black pants and a loose fitting long sleeved black button down shirt, with the top three buttons undone. Yugi put on a pair of black gloves, and boots, and made his way out onto his balcony.
From there Yugi climbed over the railing and climbed down three vines on the side of the palace. Once he was down on the ground he made his way quickly to the stables, where Otogi, Mai, Jou, and Honda were already waiting for him, already mounted on their own horses. Otogi had a white stallion, Mai a blonde mare, Jou a black stallion, Honda too had a black stallion and Yugi mounted his chestnut stallion.
Otogi had on form fitting black pants, a black pull over shirt with no sleeves, and black boots as well. Mai had on a long simple black dress, with long sleeves. She had on heeled black boots, and her hair was tied back in a black hair tie. Jou and Honda had on matching slightly loose black pants, and a short sleeve black shirt. They too had black boots on. All of them were wearing the exact same black gloves as Yugi.
Yugi smiled at his siblings as he made his way over to them. Once he was in position between Jou and Honda, the siblings took off, galloping towards their secret spot. They all ran their horses in a perfect line straight into the dark of the night.
