Because this chapter is so late I threw in a little something extra at the end for you. I guarantee you're going to enjoy it. Oh, and I have a poll up on my Profile. I'll put more information about that down at the bottom. I do not own Yugioh, enjoy! [JAPANESE]

Chapter 6

Soon Otogi took the lead with Mai and Jou falling into his left and right flank, and Yugi and Honda falling behind them. They galloped into the dark of the night, until yanking on the reins to still the horses, right outside the cemetery. All dismounted and made their way to their respective Mother's grave markers.

Yugi couldn't help but think that this might be the last time he ever saw his Mother's grave. He knelt down to tell her about his month, but most importantly about his day. He was sure his Mother would understand, and he would ask the others if they could tend to her grave, as he wouldn't be able to anymore.

"Hey, Momma, I got engaged today. His name is Crown Prince Yami, of Egypt, so I'm going to be moving soon. I'm told Egypt is hot and you can see sand as far as the eye can see. I don't know what sand is, but I hope it's nice. Yami also mentioned something about a Nile River, so there is water. I was able to use my puppy dog eyes on him today after dinner. You should have seen him Momma, like a deer caught in a trap he was. I expect that I shall be leaving tomorrow or the next day, at the very latest. Don't worry, I intend to make him work for me, we won't be married overnight, my pride won't allow it. Rebecca and Otogi are getting married, finally. I hope I'll be happy, it's too soon to tell really. I'll send letters, so you know how I'm doing, and hopefully one of my siblings will read them to you. I love and miss you Momma, how I wish you could be here with us. Tell, Father I love him too. Not that he's lonely or anything, he's surrounded by all his wives, but I do miss him. It's hard to believe that it's only been a year since he died." Yugi said all of this in a rush not knowing how much time he had to get the words out. Mai whistled behind him. She was calling everyone back; the guards had probably noticed that the horses were missing. Again.

"Bye Momma, I love you very much. I'll write I promise, every month, I'll write," Yugi said bowing and kissing his Mother's grave, before standing up and walking away.

"Come on Yugi! The guards are coming this way!" Otogi said urgently.

Yugi ran to his horse, mounting it and hiding with his siblings under the Willow tree's sweeping branches that stood near the cemetery. Yugi had just hidden when the guards came up and halted their horses right where Yugi's had been moments before. All of the royal children held their breath, willing the guards to move on, so they could get to the river. The guards never went that far, they didn't even know where it was.

"Baka kids, making us chase after them," guard one complained.

"Just stop your grumbling and help me find them Kyle!" Guard two told guard one.

"They're probably in the cemetery where their Mothers' are buried," Kyle said motioning in the opposite direction that the kids were in.

"The sooner we find them, the sooner we can get home," Guard two said making off in the direction that Kyle had pointed.

Kyle turned to look behind himself, and tilted his hat in their direction. The kids took that as sign of all clear, and took off quietly into the night. Out of all the Guards, Kyle was one of the best. He didn't care if they ran off at night, just as long as they didn't get hurt. If any of them came back injured they knew it would be game over for them.

Splashing through the river, the water flew up splashing their legs and drenching them in the sweet water. When they got over to the side, they dismounted and started to set up their midnight picnic. This would be the last time they probably all did this together. They all knew Yugi would be leaving soon, so they were going to make the most of this night.

"So, do you think you can handle being a Royal Wife Yugi?" Jou asked.

"Do you think you can handle getting wet?" Yugi asked edging towards the bank of the river.

"Wet? I'm not we-," Jou started to say.

SPLASH!

"Yugi!" Mai exclaimed as she was drenched in water. Yugi had bad aim.

"Sorry, Mai, I was aiming for Jou! AH!" Yugi tried explaining before Mai splashed him with water.

This started an all-out water war, leaving the kids soaked by the end of it. Otogi had even gotten a little muddy when he had slipped on the bank and fallen. Thus he was dubbed as the clumsy Prince for the rest of the night. The kids fell over each other laughing as they lay on the blanket and looked at the stars above them.

"Do you think the stars will look the same in Egypt?" Yugi asked out loud.

"I don't think it matter where you go Yugi, the starts look the same everywhere. What are you going to tell Ryou?" Jou responded back before asking a question.

"I'll tell my friend the truth, and then invite him to be my support for the wedding." Yugi said back simply.

"He'll do anything to get away from his over protective big brother, Noah," Mai sighed.

It was silent after that, as they all reminisced their best times with their brother. They were going to miss his company when he was gone. Otogi suggested that they get back, before Sir Seto came looking for them again.

"Not funny, Otogi," Jou said as the rest of the siblings roared with laughter.

"I can still see his face as he came back and found Jou's horse in the stable like it never left," Honda said laughing.

"And Jou, oh so innocently feeding it an apple," Yugi added laughing as well.

"The cherry on top being Jou pretending he had not a clue what his fiancé was talking about, when he declared that the horse was not there 20 minutes ago," Mai said laughing as well.

The five kids laughed all the way back to the stables as they remembered all the old stunts they had pulled at one time or another. Like when Mai had replaced the cherry tomatoes for the supper one night with cranberries. It would have been fine, if they hadn't been making a new dish called chili. Or when Yugi had somehow persuaded his Mother to let him go to town on his own, when he was three. It took the entire Royal Guard two days to find him. Yugi was under the delusion that the Guards ware playing hide and go seek with him. Then again that was how Jou met Sir Seto in the first place, as he had been the one to find Yugi. Or perhaps one of the more amusing exploits had been when Honda decided that he could fly. He had taken one of his sheets and attempted to jump off the balcony. His personal servants only just caught him, and then had to scream for help. It had nearly given his own Mother and their Father a heart attack to come home from a walk through town to find the baby of the family swinging upside down from one of the higher balconies. Though by far was when Otogi related back how he had once put jalapenos in the morning porridge. The people at the table had only discovered that trying to get rid of the heat in their mouths wasn't possible with water. It only made the hotness hotter. It had taken them a while but they had finally discovered milk to be the answer to the problem. Yugi even related back a prank that he had once seen Rebecca commit. Rebecca had switched all the signs in the servants quarters, of what places lead to where. The poor servants were lost for days in places they didn't even know existed. It had taken those same several days to round them up, as some had become hopelessly lost within the palace.

All the kids bid each other a good night, err, morning as they made their way back to their rooms. Yugi slipped back into his room from his balcony and paused for a moment to make sure that Malik and Mira were still sleeping. Hearing Mira's gentle sleep talking and Malik's quiet snoring, Yugi slipped out of his clothes and back into his night clothes before slipping into bed and falling asleep.

;p;p;p;p

"Today?" Yugi asked of the servant at his door.

"Yes, my Prince, today. Apparently the Pharaoh is anxious from being away from his country for so long, and wishes to return as soon as possible," The servant explained to the Prince.

"Ah, right, very well. Thank you," Yugi said distractedly before thanking the servant and sending him on his way.

Yugi closed the door, and turned to Malik and Mira who were coming out of their rooms with a grim expression. He nodded in acknowledgment towards them before making his way to his bathing chambers and shutting the door. A few seconds later Malik and Mira heard the water running, but because the door was closed, they knew that they were unneeded in helping him bathe.

"Mira, Malik, start packing mine and yours stuff, we leave today," Yugi said briefly poking his head out of the door before closing it again. A faint splash was heard, and then the gentle swish of water moving.

Mira and Malik looked at one another before going to the door and stopping a servant to tell them to send up one large and two small trunks up to the Prince Yugi's room. They had just shut the door when there was a knock upon its wooden surface. They hesitated before going to answer it and were surprised to find Prince Yami there.

"Hello Prince, may we help you?" Malik asked.

"Yes, I wish to talk with Yugi, is he here?" Yami asked making an attempt to get into the room.

"Yes, but he is bathing. You will have to return at a different time," Mira said blocking his attempt.

"Oh, I don't mind waiting in the main chambers until he gets out," Yami tried getting into the room again.

"Prince, you two will have the rest of your days together; don't you think it would be better spent starting on a sweet note, rather a sour one?" Mira tried to reason as Malik blocked the attempt this time.

"Mira, who's at the door?" Yami heard Yugi ask something Japanese from inside the chambers.

"Prince Yami, your Fiancé," Mira said back.

Yami heard an indignant noise, before the door was forcefully shoved closed. Yami could only assume that that was Yugi's doing, as the servants knew it was rude to shut the door in a royal's face. Pressing his ear against the door Yami could hear what sounded like someone throwing on some clothes, either that, or Yugi had decided that now was the best time to rearrange his furniture. Yami jumped back from the door as it was opened suddenly, revealing a flushed face Yugi.

"Prince Yami! Sorry, the door sometimes closes on its own like that. The wind from the balcony can be strong and forceful at times. Would you like to come in?" Yugi rambled before inviting him in.

"Yes, that would be nice," Yami said smiling down at the smaller Prince and moving inside.

Walking in, Yami found the room to be of a size that would be a lot smaller than the one that Yugi would have in his palace. Malik and Mira were laughing quietly in a corner, a bunch of clothes as well as two wet towels in their arms. Yugi shut the door quietly as soon as the Prince was all the way in.

"What can I do for you, Yami?" Yugi asked leaning against the door.

"First off, you can tell me why you do that," Yami said turning to him. He couldn't help but notice at how vulnerable he had made himself by leaning against the door. Yami could easily trap him, and ravish him against that same door.

"Do what?" Yugi asked clueless as he waved his two servants from the room.

"Call me Yami in private, but Prince Yami when there are ears to hear," Yami demanded.

"Oh, I suppose that it's because of how I was raised," Yugi said pushing up from the door and walking towards him.

"Well, I would prefer if you called me Yami at all times from now on," Yami said as he watched Yugi walk right past him and onto the balcony.

"Alright Yami, but only if you call me, Yugi," Yugi responded leaning against the railing and looking out onto the garden.

"Oh, I don't believe that's going to be a problem," Yami said moving behind him and wrapping his arms around the younger Prince.

"No, but your touchy feely nature might be," Yugi said as he shrugged and moved out of the embrace.

"We're engaged Yugi, touchy feely comes with the territory," Yami said leaning towards him smirking.

"As does talking about our feelings," Yugi said grinning as the elder back away.

"I'm not big on that subject," Yami said grimacing.

"As I am not on the whole touchy feely thing," Yugi responded looking back out onto the garden. Yami looked out on the garden too.

"You have an amazing view," Yami commented quietly.

"Yes, I do," Yugi said looking at Yami, not the garden.

The trunks arrived shortly after breaking their comfortable silence in each other's company. Yugi went to answer the door and told the servants where to put them, and then invited Mira and Malik back into the room to pack. Yugi then returned back to the balcony and Yami.

"How long is the journey from here to Egypt Yami?" Yugi asked.

"About a month," Yami replied.

"I see, what is your home like, the palace in which you grew up?" Yugi asked next.

"Huge and majestic," Yami said.

"Aren't all palaces that way?" Yugi asked rolling his eyes. "Do you have any gardens in this huge and majestic palace of yours?"

"Only the private one for royals, and council members," Yami said back.

"What's it like?" Yugi asked with curiosity heavily lacing his tone.

"Beautiful, but its beauty cannot compare to the one I see in front of me," Yami responded back looking directly at Yugi.

"Please do not tell me you're a hopeless romantic type," Yugi said looking away as a blush was brushed across his face at the compliment he had just received.

"Of course not Yugi, I enjoy the passion of romance too," Yami said suddenly being much closer than Yugi remembered him being before.

"That's nice, I was afraid I'd have to deal with a mushy gooey fiancé," Yugi said trying to move around him only for his path to be blocked by a strong tan arm that was braced against the balcony railing.

"Would you like me to show you some of that passion Yugi?" Yami asked backing him up against the wall of the balcony by walking towards him.

"You're trying to seduce me again!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Oh, Yugi, anyone would be a fool not to try to seduce you," Yami said cupping his face and closing the distance between them.

Yugi again found his lips captured by Yami. Though he did enjoy the first kiss, he couldn't exactly deny that he wasn't enjoying this one either. Yami was moving his lips against Yugi's in a gentle manner, being tentative yet assertive at the same time. It was driving Yugi crazy at how talented Yami was at kissing. It also made Yugi wonder at what other things Yami would be talented at. His thoughts, as well as the kiss, was cut off when Malik waltzed onto the balcony to announce that they were all packed and ready to go.

"Ah, right, thank you Malik," Yugi said dodging out from under Yami's arm and breathing heavily with embarrassment.

Yami couldn't help but think that Yugi looked cute with that strawberry colored blush on his face. My, his fiancé sure blushed easily, and Yami was going to enjoy finding each trigger for such a look. Yami exited the balcony right behind Yugi, where he grabbed the smaller Prince making him cry out a little, pecking him on his cheek.

"I'll see you at the docks later this evening, Yugi," Yami said smiling and leaving the room.

"So, I take it he has serious kissing skills huh?" Malik asked smirking as Yugi's blush increased.

"Shove it Malik!" Yugi said throwing a pillow at him.

Malik and Mira just laughed at his expense as he buried his face in his hands to try to cover his ever growing blush.
