Author's notes:I'm back with chapter 2. One of my reviewers thought that it would be Hashira x Atemu, well I am adding Toshiro from Bleach later on in the story so there be Hashira x Toshiro= Fantasyshipping. No Hashira x Atemu, she will only think of him and Yugi in a sibling way, Atemu=big brother, Hashira=middle child, Yugi=little brother. That will be the relationship that Hashira has for them, even though they aren't related. I own nothing but Hashira. Also I got some ideas and quotes from Magi Magi Magician Gal, so please don't hate me for some of that stuff.
The carriage finally stops in front of the palace the next day, as I hop off with the Pharaoh, only to be greeted by five men and a woman, each of them bearing a gold item similar to what the Pharaoh has hanging from his neck, a tall brunette with a rod in his sash/belt, a tall bald guy with a key, a tall guy with black shoulder length hair and a scale, a young woman with a head cover over her long black hair and a necklace, an old man, the younger brother of the Pharaoh, who in my opinion looks a lot older than his brother, with a gold eyeball, a young man with long brown hair hidden via his head cover and a ring with spikes hanging from it, the Pharaoh wearing a rope attached to an upside down pyramid, all of these items with the eye of Horus on them, they must be the rumored millennium items.
I look at the Pharaoh asking what is going on with my face and he says, "Hashira, these are my six priests, the bearers of the millennium items, Seto, my nephew, Shada, Karim, Isis, the palace healer, my younger brother, Aknaudin, and our head magician and husband to Isis, Mahad. Everyone, this is Hashira, she is the early birthday gift to my son, she is not a harem girl, nor is she a servant, she is going to be his pet/bodyguard and a new friend."
The one called Seto steps forward and says, "She may be able to keep the, not as determined women, away from the prince, but it will only push Lady Tea and Lady Vivian to want to get in his bed more and if they think she is a threat, they might attack her." The Pharaoh then says, "I can see where you are coming from, but do not forget this, she is the child of a shadow creature and a horse, her magic allows her to take on the form of a human, the form of her birth, a beautiful young horse, and the form of a shadow creature slightly different from her father, a FireWing Pegasus. Also, you should know that, the moment a half shadow creature's life is in danger, the father which is always a shadow creature, will attack that threat, and then make sure, that it's child is safe. Plus, she looks like the kind of girl, who doesn't back down from a fight, and when she does fight, I was told she fights with the fire in her heart."
Shada then steps forward, the key hanging from his neck glowing briefly, then he says, "My Pharaoh, I have just seen into this girl's soul room, there are a few things that are probably what horses think of toys that account for her innocence, the corners of her room look a little on the burnt side and there is a huge fireplace in the center of the room, confirming the fire in her heart, but I also saw loneliness along with hope, all in one, it was a testimony to legends that when one is born, another is born at the exact same time, and the two become soul mates for life, she has yet to meet her soul mate, which goes with the loneliness and hope. I have seen what this girl is like, and she can certainly protect the prince, my Pharaoh."
The Pharaoh says, "Alright, Hashira, come with me, Seto, you too, we have to show my son his early birthday present, and get her acquainted with the pranksters. Those two lords better learn that they can't prank her." Seto says, "Yeah, I just hope they aren't goofing off somewhere. Hey Hashira, do you have experience with pranksters, because they can make anyone insane if they want to." "Yes, dealing with young colts, who are starting to become full of testosterone, are always fighting for first pick on the girls, and they are always pranking me because, I'm different from the others, and/or they know they can't have me. Since I could fight off young male horses, I can cope with pranksters and I could easily fend off two crazy, money obsessed, spoiled brats like the women you were talking about. Just so you know horses are pretty powerful creatures, one kick, square in a human's chest from a horse, can kill that person," I reply. Seto says, "I like her, I think she was a wise choice."
We come upon a door, and Seto knocks. As soon as he knocks, I hear a deep baritone voice say, "Come in." We open the door and find ourselves in a huge room, connecting to other rooms along with a bed big enough to have ten people sleep on it and still have room to stretch in the morning, the bed surrounded by crimson curtains, and on the bed sat a young man with gravity defying, star-shaped, tri-color hair that was black, blonde, and tipped in crimson, along with lightning bolts streaks that went up his hair. His skin was tanned from the light Ra gave every single day. His tunic was elaborately decorated, gold cuffs lay on his wrist and arms, and gold earrings hung from his ears. His eyes, the most stunning shade of crimson, I have ever seen. He was clearly the Egyptian Prince that I was to serve.
I glance around and notice two other people, one with spiky, wild, platinum blond with lavender eyes, he wore a simple tan tunic whose sleeves came to his elbows and dropped down to his ankles, being held in place by a black belt that encircled his waist. On top of these, he wore a decorated dark purple robe, so dark it was almost black. It was sleeveless and fell to mid-calf. Elaborate sandals decked his feet. Simple gold cuffs were on his wrist. The other had stalk white, semi-spiky hair, and dark brown, almost black, eyes. He was wearing a black tunic that dropped to his mid-calf, and whose sleeves reached his mid-upper arm. The tunic was held in place by a dark grey belt that looped around his waist. A sleeveless blood red robe was trimmed with black trimming, and stopped above his knees. He wore sandals with no jewelry.
The Prince then asks, "Who is this, father?" The Pharaoh replies, "This son, is Hashira, don't worry, she is definitely not like Lady Tea and Lady Vivian. She isn't even human. Son, do you remember those legends about half shadow creatures?" The Prince raises an eyebrow and asks, "Yes, what about them?" The Pharaoh then says, "Well, she is one of them, and if you recall the legends, each one has a soul mate who is another half shadow creature, that creature is the only one they can fall in love with. Also I have brought her as an early birthday present, she will be your pet/personal bodyguard, and maybe you can become friends with her and teach her some of our ways seeing how she was born to a horse mother and raised by horses. Hashira, can you show my son, along with the two prankster lords and high priest Seto, the form of your birth?"
I nod, then my choker glows, and I take on my horse form. The four mentioned, stare at me, star struck, as they look at; my glistening black coat, my thick red mane, my long flowing red tail, my big black hooves, and the gleaming gold-blond eye shaped patch of hair on my forehead. The platinum blond haired teen then says, "That's cool, hey Bakura, what do you think?" The white haired teen says, "Yeah, Marik, that is cool. Hey Atemu, can I ride her sometime? I want to know how well she rides in a fight." At those words I immediately start yelling telepathically at the one called Bakura, /I am not just something to ride! Besides, only humans, who have earned my complete trust can ride me. Ra, you are just like these really mean colts that used to torment me. I am definitely not a dumb creature you can just play with so leave me the hell alone!/ Everyone looks at me jaw dropped and stunned, while I start blushing realizing, it must have slipped through to everyone in this room, not just Bakura.
The prince, now named Atemu says, "Did anyone else hear her yell at Bakura in their head?" Everyone nods, and he then says, "How in the name of Ra did you just talk in our heads?!" I telepathically say to everyone, /Since horses can't actually speak, I can telepathically talk to humans without having to go into my human form to speak verbally. I didn't mean for that last message to go to everyone. I'm just surprised you all don't have major headaches from me yelling./ Bakura says, "I actually have a headache." as he grabs his head. Marik says, "Cool, if there was a war or if there was a prank that we want to do, that requires messages being sent back and forth or requiring us to be in sync, you can deliver, messages to us, no problem." Seto says, "Now I'm starting get a headache." The Pharaoh laughs and says, "Think you can handle her, son?" Atemu nods and says, "Yes father, the only challenge would be getting the pranksters and the bitches to leave her alone." /I can handle jealous women no problem, besides a part of my duty as your bodyguard means that I'll be making sure women don't come on to you. Also if I could deal with colts that act a lot like these pranksters, I'll be just fine./ It is then that the young prince's eyes light up and a pleased smirk appears on his face.
The Pharaoh smiles and leaves us to get to know each other. I transform back to my human form, and Bakura stands up and says, "Now lets get the introduction over with, I am Lord Bakura, when we are with the court, you will have to call me by my title, but when we're alone, help me keep my sanity and call me by name." Marik also stands up and says, "Same here, my title is Lord, but you may call me, Marik." Seto sits down in a chair and says, "My name is Seto, my title is High Priest, and you are to call me that whether we are in public or not." Atemu groans and says, "I hate having to tell people this, but I'm Prince Atemu. Please call me by name, I really don't want to end up as an insane psychopath like Bakura and Marik." The two mentioned yell, "Oi!" I sit down and say, "I'm Hashira, I don't tolerate pranks pulled on me. I already know that we'll be good friends since, using my third eye, which is placed on my choker when in human form, I can see into your heart enough to tell if you are a good or bad person, since you guys are good, I can relax around you."
Atemu smiles, and heads out on the balcony. We follow him and hear him let out a sigh. I ask, "Is there something wrong, Atemu?" "I'm just thinking about my birthday." Seto and I get confused looks on our faces, and Seto says, "I thought you loved your birthday." Marik shakes his head and says, "You haven't been paying much attention on his birth for the past four years, haven't you, Seto?" Seto replies, "What's that supposed to mean, Marik?" Bakura sighs and says, "The bitches have been hell bent on getting him in bed since his 13th birthday, remember?" Seto says, "Oh, right." Atemu says, "I wish I didn't remember." I speak up and ask, "I'm a little confused, what are we talking about?" Atemu sighs and starts to explain everything.
Ten minutes later, "That's how the horses got in there?" Seto asks, shocked. "Yep." Marik replies, grinning. "And we didn't get into any trouble." "Well that explains why they are bitches, but what about the last three parties?" I ask. "Every year, they try and get me into bed again, the party itself is already ruined." Atemu groans. "Cheer up mate." Marik says. "It just gives us an excuse to pull some pranks." I ask, "Is there any way to get those girls to leave him alone, apart from me?" Bakura says, "Atemu can get a personal servant, they have to be with their masters at all times." They others look at him and he says, "What?" "You said something that makes sense, that's what." Seto replies. Bakura just glares. "I've tried that remember?" Atemu says. "Just another person that wanted me in their bed." "So, just go to the dungeons and pick someone in the slaves waiting area at random." Marik says. "We don't have any slaves waiting." Seto remarks. Marik asks, "Says who?" "The dungeon warden, that's who idiot." Seto hisses. "If you had paid attention at the council meeting today, you would know that." Bakura shakes his head. "And here I thought you knew that warden was a liar. He probably does have someone down there. He just wants to have some, "fun", first." Finger quotes on the fun part.
"I suppose I could go look." Atemu says. "In fact, I'll go tonight. That way if I do find someone they can start tomorrow morning." "We'll come with you." Marik says. "We will?" Seto looks annoyed that he is getting dragged into this as well. "Sure." Bakura says, catching on to Marik's train of thought. "If we get personal servants, girls will get off our backs about getting into bed with them to." Seto says, "It does sound like a good idea, because I also hate when a random stranger comes on to me." I join in and say, "I could care less about getting personal servant, I'm just going, so that I can meet whoever you pick, and so that no tries to mess with you, Atemu." "Alright. Let's go." Atemu says smirking.
Author's notes: Yeah, Hashira just told Bakura. She will defiantly fit in with the Yamis. Next chapter you will meet the Hikaris. Please review.
