Chapter Four
Atemu ran to his chambers. He slammed the door shut and sank to the floor with his back to the door. He could not believe he just did that. Atemu heard a knock at his door. Atemu answered the door to find his cousin Seth the High Priest standing there. "Seth what are you doing here?" Seth gives his cousin a small of a smile. "I am here because Isis said that you might be in some need of comfort." Atemu nodded softly. "I meet my betrothed today, Seth." Seth responded, "And?" Atemu looked at his cousin, "And I feel like I am already fall in love with him and we only met a few hours ago." Seth looked at his cousin, "What happened, Atemu?" Atemu sighed, "We went for a walk in the garden and then I kissed him. After that I ran away like some crazy person." Atemu held his head in his hands sitting down on his bed. Seth goes over and sits down next to Atemu. "And did your betroth respond to the kiss?" Atemu looked up with a shocked face. "To be honest, cousin I have no idea. I think so. By the gods I feel so stupid. He must be so disgusted with me." Seth grabs his cousin by his shoulders his icy-blue eyes staring into red, "Don't you ever say that." Atemu just stared at his cousin blue gaze. "How do I know? I do not even know if Yugi feels the same way about me that I do for him and it is too early to tell." Atemu slumps forward with defeat. Seth looks at his cousin's body with a sadden gaze. Seth remembers how he was when he first fell in love with Jou for the very first time. It was the same defeated gaze that he was seeing in his cousin's eyes and body. "Atemu, you never know unless you actually tell him that you love him. I would not let fall through your fingers." Seth places a hand on Atemu's shoulder in a comforting gesture. Atemu turns his gaze to his cousin's. "Thank you Seth." Seth smiles now. "Well, I will leave you to get ready for bed. You have a big day tomorrow." Atemu nods getting up off his bed to walk his cousin to the door. "Okay Seth I will see you tomorrow." Atemu waves Seth off and then turns around walking back toward his bed. Atemu removes his golden belt and shoes. Next, to be removed were his arm, wrist, and ankle bands. Follow by his cape which is a rich purple color. After, that he removed his necklaces and other jewelry. He slipped into his bed which had crimson and black silk sheets and fell fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Prince Yugi was wandering the palace back to his chambers that Pharaoh Atemu gave him. He was still in a slight daze from the kiss that the two had shared in the garden not too long ago. The same kiss that set Atemu running away from him. Yugi was still wondering what he did that sent Atemu running. Yugi walked into his bedchamber and promptly got undress in record time. He quickly jumped into his bed and fell fast asleep.
The next morning found both the Pharaoh and Prince Yugi up at the crack of dawn with there own respectful servants getting them ready for the day. Pharaoh Atemu had to get ready for a meeting with his advisors as to what to do with the Thief King Bakura who keeps stealing out of the royal tombs and temples. Prince Yugi was getting ready because he was to be shown to the royal court after the meeting had concluded. Atemu was very nervous because of what happened the previous night, but hoped that Yugi did not think that he did not like him.
Pharaoh Atemu walked down the corridor toward the throne room to hear what his advisors had to say about this problem of Egypt's. Atemu walked into the throne room and sat himself down on his throne. As soon as he did all his advisors swarmed him with this and that. Atemu was started to get a headache after a while. "Alright, enough. One at a time." Pharaoh Atemu roared. Everyone in the throne room shut their mouths. "Alright Seth what is the status of our troops in the northeast of the kingdom?" Seth who was standing to the Pharaoh's right answered. "Well my Pharaoh. We have not seen anything out of the ordinary out there but we are still keeping an eye out. We do not even know where this thief hides." Pharaoh Atemu nodded his head in approval. "Good…."
Before he could continue with his statement there was a loud commotion outside the throne room doors. Two guards who were posted outside where thrown into the throne room onto the floor in front of the Pharaoh and the six priests. Who came in after the guards were thrown in was none other than the Thief King Bakura himself. "Well if it isn't the almighty Pharaoh and his six high priest bodyguards." Bakura said with a sneer. Atemu stood up from his throne. "What is it that you want Bakura?" Bakura looked at the Pharaoh for a moment and proclaimed, "What I want, Pharaoh is for you to pay for what you did to my village and family. I also want your millennium items."
