Author's notes: Vivian is getting some bashing right off the bat, Hashira has another dream scene=finally some real Fantasyshipping going down, then some more Tea bashing-cheers from crowd of bashers and Fantasyshipping lovers- I own nothing but Hashira. There are some ideas I got from MMMG's story 'How did it come to this?' I tried to lay off with the quotes on this one, so please give her the credit where credit is due.

The next day, while the Pharaoh goes to ask the Yugi and his friends why they ended up in prison, I walk around the palace to get further accustomed to where everything is. As I head back to Atemu's chambers to get a nap, I hear a screechy voice say, "Where do you think you're going?" I look at the origin of the voice and see a black haired teenage girl with narrow brown eyes. I look at what she's wearing and in my opinion she is dressed like a slut, but too fancy to be a harem girl. I take a glance at her heart and it is as evil as 'Lady' Tea's, only more dangerous. "Slave girl answer me now, who are you and why are you heading to my Atemu's chambers?" I narrow my eyes, glaring at her and say, "One, I am not a slave, two, I am the prince's personal bodyguard, three, my name is Hashira, four, I am heading for the prince's chambers to take a nap and no I am not courting him, we share a room to stop him from getting killed via assassin." She immediately gets pissed off and yells, "I am Lady Vivian Wong and you will, stay away from my Atemu! Why are you a bodyguard anyway?" I chuckle and say, "I'm a half shadow creature, The Pharaoh assigned me as the prince's pet/bodyguard and I'm not into him, he is just a friend." I slap her in the face and continue walking to the prince's chambers, leaving a fuming Vivian behind.

Bakura and Marik come up to me and Bakura says, "We saw everything and you are the best, no one has ever told off both bitches like you have, you are definitely part of our group." Marik snickers and says, "Yeah, you're awesome." I yawn and say, "Yeah, I guess I am. I'm just heading to Atemu's chambers for a quick nap, I've been touring myself around the palace, I need some sleep." Bakura says, "Yeah, let's escort you back so you don't run into more trouble." I yawn again and say, "Okay."

We finally get to Atemu's chambers, only to find that Seto and Atemu are talking. I say, "Hey Atemu." Atemu smiles and says, "Hey, where have you been?" I say, "Oh just giving myself a tour of the palace so I know where everything is, but as I was coming back, I hit a snag." Seto asks, "What?" Bakura and Marik both say, "Vivian." Atemu's expression darkens a little and asks, "What did she do?" "Oh pretty much the same as Tea, only this time I slapped her." I reply with a smirk. Seto gets a surprised look on his face while Atemu, Bakura, and Marik start laughing their asses off. Atemu says, "I can't believe, I wasn't there to watch it." Bakura says, "Marik and me were walking by when we saw Vivian yelling at Hashira, and Hashira just looked like she was gonna fall asleep. When Hashira finally walked away, she told us what happened and that she was heading here for a nap." Seto and Atemu look at me with expressions that told me they were shocked. I finally say, "Hey, I was tired, and I wasn't gonna listen to her shrieking. Can I finally get some sleep now?" The others nod, and I go into my horse form. I lie down, and Atemu puts a blanket on me. As I close my eyes, I see the others leave the room to give me some peace and quiet.

Dream start: I open my eyes and find myself back at the valley and oasis. I head over to the oasis to get something to drink and hopefully see Toshiro again. After getting a drink, I look up and on the other side is Toshiro. We walk over to each other and I say, "Sorry, last time we were interrupted and I woke up." Toshiro chuckles and says, "It's okay." I look at his clothes and ask, "So where are you from?" Toshiro says, "Japan. You?" I say, "Egypt." Toshiro asks, "So do you wanna, resume where we left off last time?" I blush and say, "Yeah." Toshiro chuckles and says, "You know, you're cute when you blush." My blush darkens at that comment and I start to scold my brain at certain thoughts. Toshiro and I both start to lean in smelling each others scent, I notice that he smells like an oasis on a hot day with the Egyptian breeze running through my hair. At the moment right before our lips touch, time seems to stop and it's like we're the people in the world. Finally our lips touch, and I can feel like I'm flying through the air. We break away for air and I can see that Toshiro's eyes have a hint of lust in them and my own eyes starting to cloud up with lust. Toshiro grabs me and pulls me into another kiss, this time with a little extra gift, his tongue. As his tongue starts to explore the cavern that is my mouth, first I experience shivers of delight which evolve into moans of enjoyment. We break away for air, and I say, "Hey Toshiro, wanna run in the valley for a while, before waking up." Toshiro says, "Sure." We both decide to do in our shadow creature forms. I transform into what I call 'FireWing Unicorn'(that may or may not be a real duel monster, it's my story) and he transforms into fierce looking dragon with horns and a mane on the back of his head, the eye of Horus, the color silver on his blue scaly forehead, a long muzzle like me only more squared on the end with rows of sharp teeth and fangs. A long slender neck with blue spines running down from his neck to his tail. Sharp looking claws for hands, giant bird wings with ice on the ends of his feathers, a long slender body with talons for feet. His tail long and slender like the rest of him with the shape of crescent moon on the end. All in all a very handsome icy blue dragon. /You ready to fly, Toshiro?/ I ask. Toshiro nods and we start flying like we were dancing in the sky. Finally as the light that warns me that I'm waking up starts to appear I say, /See you later, Drago-Shiro./ He blushes a little says, /Yeah, see you around, Uni-Shira./ Dream end

I wake up panting a little and yawn, a horsey yawn. I look out the window and see that it's around midday. 'Hm, I didn't sleep that long.' I think to myself as Atemu comes in and says, "Hey you're awake Hashira, it's time for lunch. I nod before going back into my human form. On the way, Atemu starts smirking asks, "So did you dream of your soul mate, I saw you panting." I sigh, "You know that I'm not gonna tell you guys every time I have one of dreams, right, but if you keep pestering, since the dreams are still new, I tell you when we are all together." Atemu says, "Okay."

We finally reach the dining area, everyone is there. Mahad asks, "Hey Hashira, did you have one of those dreams again?" I nod and say, "Yes, and this time I was able to finish the dream without someone waking me up." Bakura asks, "So, what happened?" "Well, first I explained what happened last time to him, then we told each other where we're from, then he flirted with me, then we kissed twice, then we went into our shadow creature forms before flying into the air making us almost looking like we were dancing in the sky. Then I woke up." Marik then asks, "What's your lover's name?" I sigh and get a dreamy look in my face and say, "Toshiro, or my new nickname for him, Drago-Shiro." Bakura waves a hand in front of my face, but I don't care and then says, "Yep, she fell for him hard." Mahad says, "Well they are mates for life once they meet, then go through a mating ritual." Isis looks at me and says, "Hashira, if you have any questions, talk to me okay." I snap out of my dreamy look, nod, then start chewing on a date.

A week later, in the throne room, we are waiting for three of the personal servant to walk through the doors, while Bakura and Marik keep asking if they are here yet, and quite frankly, it was getting on Atemu, Seto, and my last nerves. Just as my nerves are about to snap, Isis comes in with Ryou, Joey, and Malik. Joey was wearing an icy blue shendyt, a cream color sash around his waist and a creamy gold colored upper tunic covering his upper body. Malik was wearing a dark purple shendyt with a tan sash, and a sandy colored upper tunic. Ryou was wearing a deep red shendyt held up with a black sash, a grey upper tunic covering his chest and arms, showing his stomach. I look at Seto, Marik and Bakura and I can obviously tell, they are in love, no matter how much they try to hide it. I look at Atemu and he looks sad, I'm guessing from him not getting his servant, yet. Isis explains that they already know their duties, and the three servants get behind their masters in order to help if need be.

We get into a meeting and after a while, I start to smell Tea, heading toward the healing chambers. The Pharaoh sees that I'm on edge so he lets me leave early from the meeting. I walk over to the healing chambers and see Tea ordering two guards to whip Yugi. I walk in and say, "What do you think you're doing, Lady Tea?" Tea sees me asks, "What do you think you're doing, freak?" I ignore her comment and say, "I could smell you heading here, so I came to protect, him, after all he is the prince's personal servant, so only the prince can punish him. Not you, bitch." "You should stay out of it, freak. He was talking back to me, you should get whipped too, freak." Tea snaps. "Guards take them both out of the dungeons to be whipped." One guard says, "No, I will not get in trouble of doing this deed." I look in his heart and know that he is good. As Lady Tea and two guards argue, I grab Yugi and we look for a place to hide. Sometimes, it's great to be short. As we are searching for a place to hide, I smell Vivian approach and she doesn't notice me right away, but she sees Yugi and and asks, "You, boy, have you seen the prince?" Right as I'm about to say something, Yugi says, "No, I haven't, my lady." Vivian walks away muttering, "Slaves these days, they're of no use." Yugi and I begin to search for a place to hide when I sense Atemu nearby.

He walks up and asks, "What are you doing out of the healing chambers, Yugi?" I say, "Atemu, I had sensed and smelt Tea heading toward the healing chambers so your father let me leave early. When I had gotten there, she was ordering two guards to take him down to the dungeons to be whipped. I stopped her and explained some things, she starts calling me a freak and the asks the guards to take both Yugi and me to the dungeons to be whipped, we escaped and were hiding from her." "What did she do before Hashira came, Yugi?" Atemu asks concerned. "She told me to stay away from you." Yugi replies. "When I told her I couldn't unless you told me to, she became angry and called for guards to take me to the dungeons. She wanted them to whip me. That was when Hashira came in." "She is getting on my last nerve." Atemu growls. "Come with me. I need to tell my father, and I don't want you, Yugi, to be alone where Tea or Vivian can get you." We nod and follow, hoping the pharaoh could help.

Author's notes: Next chapter, will be a chat with the Pharaoh, Seto arguing with Joey- what's new- and some more Tea bashing. Please review!
