Previously...

"And your parents?" He inquired.

"It was arranged. But it did not matter in the end, they fell in love."

The couple was silent for a moment.

"Do you think that could happen to us?" Atem whispered moving in closer. Suddenly the whole mood of the conversation changed...

Teana did not know how to respond. Teana stared into his eyes. Those sharp... crimson-amethyst eyes. Atem stared back perhaps even more emotion and focus into Teana's own two cerulean-blue eyes.

Teana tried to answer and opened her mouth to do so, but she did not catch the fact that Atem had moved closer and was leaning more and more into her, closing the gap between their two faces.

Teana opened her eyes wide in a bit of shock, but Atem didn't notice. All he noticed was Teana's soft pink lips and how inviting they looked. His opportunity was interrupted last time and he wasn't about to let it escape this time.

And then a voice was heard. "Princess!"

"There you are Princess!"

Teana took in a sharp intake of breath as Atem stepped back.

"Seto." She stated.

Seto oblivious to what was occurring before he rudely interrupted, smiled. Atem gave him an angry glare, which surprised Seto. He ignored the glare and focused his attention on Teana.

"Teana." He gave another smile. "I believe that you promised me a dance?"

"Oh!" Teana gave a genuine, although uneasy smile that showed off her teeth. "I believe I did!"

"You do not mind do you Atem?" Seto asked politely.

"No, not at all." Atem gruffly said.

Teana gave him a look and was about to question him about his response, but Seto eagerly whisked her away. Atem clenched his fists as watched as Seto placed his hand around Teana's waist and danced with her a good distance away. Seto was very good dancer too. Atem could feel the jealousy creeping back into him.

"Your highness." A figure appeared beside him.

"Isis!"

"My Prince, my necklace has told me that something is troubling you."

Atem merely shrugged and his eyes continued to follow Seto and Teana dancing around the room.

"It is the Princess, is it not?"

Atem turned to Isis with his eyes opened wide. Then he relaxed. "Did your necklace tell you that?" He asked.

"No. It is merely woman's intuition... and perhaps some close observance."

Atem mumbled something inaudible. "Look I already spoke with Mahad...he says that I need to learn to control my jealousy. I already tried counting and taking deep breaths. It does not help as much as I would like."

"Tell me Atem. What is it about Seto, or these other men that makes you jealous so?"

"Well, I...uh..."

"Is it because they are so well acquainted with Teana and you desire that as well? Or is that you are afraid that she will like them better? Or perhaps is it because you want your marriage to be as happy and loving as your parents' marriage had been, but are afraid it will not be? Perhaps you have stronger feelings for Teana than you thought and you do not know how to act on them? Maybe it is somewhat of all of these things?"

Atem remained silence. He was overwhelmed by these questions.

"My prince, I think you must remember that she is your betrothed. Not Seto's or anyone else's for the matter. She has a good heart and she seems very loyal. I dare not think her of being unfaithful to you, do you?"

"No..."

"Well than be understanding. The date of your union is coming closer. Only two more weeks."

"Two more weeks?" He repeated.

"Yes, not all the preparation you witnessed was for today's celebration only, but much of it also for your wedding."

"I suppose I lost track of how long the Princess has been with us." Atem responded.

Isis nodded. "I shall bid you farewell now my Prince. Teana will approach you now. She is about to finish her dance with High Priest Seto." Isis put her hand on her Millennium Necklace, as a barely visible glow radiated from it. She smiled. "You should ask her to dance again. I believe she would like that." With that she walked away.

Lol it was Seto who interrupted. I didn't think that was too hard to figure out was it? Small chapter, but I did update very quickly didn't I? The next couple of chapters will be a bit short (not as short as this chapter, but still short) because it's only short little moments leading up to the LONG AWAITED WEDDING. Yup, don't think the story ends at the wedding though people. I have a lot more in store for you!

You'll also be happy to know I will be updating a bit quicker with these short chapters until the wedding scene. I am unsure about my updating schedule after that I'm afraid...
