Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for Amen and the plot

Mysterious past, unknown future chapter 5

Amen sighed as she walked together with her husband to the throne room. It was only a few minutes ago that Atemu ran to his room, but neither of them followed him, knowing he needed some time alone. Aknamkanon sighed as he sank in his throne, rubbing his temple.

"We can't allow some young criminal to walk free through the palace with my son!" He exclaimed.

"Honey think about it. Maybe Atemu feels more like home when… what was his name again?" Amen asked.

"Bakura I believe." The pharaoh said. Amen nodded.

"I have no other choice, that boy has to be executed. Tomorrow at dawn…" He said. Amen gasped.

"Aknamkanon he's just a child, you can't do that. What about your son, he'll be heartbroken when he comes behind it." She tried to reason with him. He just shook his head. Only when they heard a sob they turned around. Atemu stood there, his legs shaking and tears coming down his face. He apparently had heard what they said.

"Atemu…" Amen said softly. He just shook his head and ran out of the room. She gave her husband one last stern look, before going after her son. Aknamkanon sighed as he again rubbed his temple. This needed to be done. He turned towards a guard.

"Make the stage ready and bring the bull here. Tomorrow at dawn is the time…" He sighed.

Amen knocked on the door of Atemu's room, but didn't get a response. She frowned and tried to open the door, only to find it locked.

"Atemu please open the door, it's time for dinner." She said. There was no response. She got panicked and asked for the key. The guards gave her a key and she turned the lock. She slowly opened the door, but she gasped when she found the room empty, with a robe tied to the balcony.

Atemu slowly walked through the shadows towards the dungeon. When the guard didn't suspect anything, he quickly did the sleeping hold. He grabbed the keys from him and ran down the dungeon. He heard coughing and quickly ran towards his brother's cell. He quickly unlocked it and ran inside. Bakura lay on the little bed which was in the cell, coughing rather loud. He kneeled before him and felt his forehead, cringing at how cold it was. Bakura opened his dull eyes, blinking a few times. His eyes widened slightly when he saw his little brother there.

"Yami?" He whispered, shivering slightly. Atemu nodded as he quickly took off his cape and wrapped it around his brother's body. He looked around, trying to find a blanket or something, only to find nothing. He nibbled his lip.

"I'll be right back." He whispered as he walked to a closet. He opened it and found some more blankets. He took a few of them and walked back to his brother's cell. He quickly wrapped them around Bakura's body.

"Bakura they want to execute you tomorrow, but that won't happen." Atemu whispered as he locked the cell. He lay down beside his brother, slowly falling asleep.

Aknamkanon ordered his guards to search every corner of the palace to find his son. When his wife came crying to him, he knew something was wrong. It was now late at night and Atemu still wasn't found. They both couldn't sleep at night and he also had to make things ready for the execution. He sighed deeply, rubbing his temple. This was so stressful. Ra would make his rise in only a few minutes. He ordered the guards to get the prisoner, only for them to come back empty handed.

"Where's the prisoner?" The pharaoh asked. They swallowed.

"My lord, your son is with the prisoner and refuses to open the door." The guard said. Aknamkanon's eyes widened at this. He quickly followed them. Once by the cell he saw his son and the prisoner. One of them was shivering, though it wasn't his son.

"Atemu?" He whispered. The spikey haired one looked up.

"I'm not going to let you kill him!" He shouted before turning away again.

"Atemu please understand-" He began again.

"No! My brother is sick and you want to kill him!" Atemu shouted. He stood up and spread his arms in front of Bakura.

"Atemu he came into the palace at night, I can't trust him." His father told him.

"Bakura is my brother! He practically raised me, giving me brotherly love and I could go to him everytime when I was sad or scared! He always was there for me when I was raped!" His voice echoed through the entire dungeon. When he realized what he said, he quickly placed a hand over his mouth. Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw every ones look on their face. He was hugged from behind. He turned around and buried his face into Bakura's shirt, arms wrapping tightly around the other's waist. Bakura shushed him softly, whispering comforting words to him. The pharaoh stared in disbelieve. His son, the prince of Egypt, was raped.

"How old were you?" He asked softly, a single tear sliding down his face. He was happy that his wife wasn't here, or she'd be crying right now.

"He was around three summers old." Bakura murmured, still stroking his little brother's hair. The other still had his face buried in his brother's shirt, clinging to him.

"I don't want you death." Atemu whispered. Aknamkanon watched all of this, taking the situation in. This boy cared for his son while he couldn't.

"Alright…" He whispered.

"What is it father?" Atemu asked softly.

"I'm letting him stay in the palace." Everyone, even the prisoners, looked in shock at the pharaoh.

"Atemu please open the door so you can take your brother to his room." He said. But Atemu shook his head.

"I wanted to share a room with him." He said quietly. The pharaoh nodded softly as Atemu opened the door. He helped his brother up and they slowly made their way to the stairs. They were greeted by Amen when they got up, her eyes widening at the sight of her son helped the boy. They walked towards the courtyard slowly. Bakura had to shield his eyes because of the sunlight.

"Welcome home." Atemu whispered.
