During Dinner with the Pharaoh Britt was quiet as she ate while knowing her sister was watching. Mentally she pleaded that her sister would not tell Bakura of this as she knew the worst would come if Bakura were to find out that the Pharaoh was letting her stay here. Once dinner was done she was about to dismiss herself when she felt him touch her arm. "Stay please." The Pharaoh said to her and she was quiet but sat back down. Soon everyone else left the dining hall leaving Atem and Britt in the same room.
Zoey watched them wondering what possibly could the Pharaoh want with her sister. Watching though she seen the Pharoah make Britt look at him and still she stayed quiet. "I know your brother is the thief king but still you must eventually open up and tell me where he is. He has caused harm and loss for people in the village and you are putting yourself through this work to fix his mess." Atem said to her and Britt was trying to fight it. How was this possible that her barriers were starting to break even through her resistance.
After that they left the dinning hall and Britt walked back to her room. Zoey followed in wanting to know what her sister thought of the Pharaoh. "well what do you think of him?" She asked her sister. Britt sighed as she walked to the window "I do not want to be in the middle of a war. But I must choose a side it seems." She told Zoey. Zoey knew that this was hard for her since no one could normally break through Britt's barrier she had so hard tried to build over the years to keep out feelings like love.
When she went to sleep her sister left in fear of getting caught but she stayed close by as Bakura had told her to find Britt and bring her home. When morning came Britt got a rude awakening from the priests bringing her out of the room and all wanting her to be judged by the items. Atem stood up from his throne and walked to them "I did not give any permission for this to happen." He told them and they bowed to him in respect. Looking down Britt knew it was to be expected anyway and she said "Just go ahead and check." She told them and this put all eyes on her. Atem wasn't for it but he looked over at Shada "only you may look and see." He told him.
Shada understood the Pharaohs way of thinking as the girl was their way to find Bakura and if something happened to her then they would lose an advantage. Looking in her soul Shada was shocked to see a creature of light as he had been prepared to see a creature of Dark and light. After that he put a hand to his head. "Shada, what did you see?" The Pharaoh asked him and Shada looked at his item then at Britt. "This girl carries with her a creature of light, your majesty." Shada said to him and this intrigued the Pharaoh. The other priests wanted to see her soul creature take form but knew that would have to wait for later.
The Pharaoh walked over to her and offered her his hand which she took as he led her to the dinning hall. Once again they were served breakfast and she wasn't much hungry but she had some of the food anyway to be nice. Everything was quiet and peaceful as could be which threw off Britt since last time it was quiet but things had been weird. Just like before she left afterwords to do the work in the village and this time her sister helped out too so they made double the earnings and when it came time for being payed for the day they were able to get double the food for the orphans. Zoey was surprised at how good this felt to actually help people in their time of need but then she knew her sister would do anything if possible.
The guard saw that she was walking and talking with someone. When she came close by the guard walked to her "miss who is this?" He asked and she sighed "My sister." She told the guard. The guard looked at her sister wondering what intensions her sister had but didn't see anything and then looked at her. "if you are done then I suggest heading back." He told her and she nodded. The two sisters hugged and then Britt left for the palace. Just like before she took a detour and then walked in. When she tried to go to her room like last time she was stopped by the Pharaoh. "Sorry, I'd like it if we could talk." He said to her. This worried her on what he wanted to talk about.
As they walked Atem was trying to get close to her, some had even suggested trying to win her over to get the answers he desired. The only question was did he want to win her over. She was a theifs sister and he was the Pharaoh. Knowing this made it difficult but as he looked at her he noticed she was pretty. It seemed like forever as they walked before he finally spoke "so I was wondering how you are enjoying your stay in the palace?" He asked her and she had her doubts. "well I am greatful that you have been so kind Pharaoh." She told him.
They talked for awhile trying to figure out what the other may want but neither of them could come up with that answer. As they sat down in the courtyard Britt looked up at the sky in thought. Atem was trying to find something else to say but as he put his hand down it touched Britts. Both of them looked at eachother and for many seconds neither of them knew what they were doing as they were leaning to kiss eachother. Before they did kiss though Britt's eyes widened and she pulled away "I'm sorry.. I have to go." She said and left the courtyard to go to her room. Once inside the room she layed on the bed "oh man that was so close. I almost had my first kiss but I don't think I'm ready." She said softly.
What will happen? Is something there and she doesn't know it?
