Author's notes: I'm back, sorry everyone, I was really busy the past few days, and really sore and tired. Thank you for all the good reviews since last chapter. I have some ideas and quotes from MMMG and I don't own them or anything accept for Hashira. -pokes Raider who is sleeping on the corner of bed- Raider, do you want to say anything.
Raider:Growl, Meow!(Leave me alone and let me go back to sleep woman, enjoy the chapter.)
FireWing Pegasus:-sighs and shakes head- Ra, you are just like Bakura, Raider.
A few minutes later, the two blonds come out for breakfast. "Have a good morning." I ask with a smirk. "Huh." Marik looks at me with a blank look. I smirk even more and say, "How long did you think you could hide that you two are together from us. When I saw you weren't here, I smelt for you, and right now I hate my sense of smell." "Huh." Malik looks at me with a blank look. "You and Malik gave Ryou a scare when he went to see if you were coming." Bakura explains. "Oh." Marik shrugs while Malik turns a bright red color. "How long have you two been together?" Atemu questions. "Since a couple days after Vivian's execution." Marik replies. "So you guys only knew each other for a couple weeks before hooking up?" Seto gives a wary look.
I smirk and say, "Seto, as soon as I met my lover, we were together. You'll understand when you fall in love with your, 'puppy'." "Oi!" Joey glares over the table top. "Chances of that happening are less than zero." Seto growls. 'Yeah right, you just don't want to admit it to yourself.' I think smirking. "What's less than zero?" Mahad asks as he and Isis come into the room. "Of my cousin and Joey getting together." Atemu replies with an even tone. "Oh." Mahad shrugs. "If it happens, it happens. If not, it doesn't." Isis on the other hand, I can tell is holding back a smile. I think she know they would get together, it was probably just a matter of when. "By the way," Isis covers her smiling as she turns to Atemu, "why were you more on the late side of arriving for dinner yesterday and breakfast today?" "You two were late today as well." Atemu points out. "We have a reason." Mahad says with a small smile. "Moving on." Isis says as a small blush covering her cheeks. "Please answer the question."
"What question?" The pharaoh asks as he enters the room. "I'm simply waiting for your son to tell us why he was arriving close to late yesterday evening and this morning." Isis responds. "Well son," The pharaoh looks to Atemu, "you usually are here earlier. But the past two meals you have arrived later than usual. Care to explain." Atemu looks at his hands before looking at Yugi, who stopped eating the date he was munching on. I know what is going on and say, "Atemu, if you don't say it soon, I will be as blunt as Marik and Bakura and just say for you." Atemu looks at me shocked and replies, "I was delayed." "By what?" Marik asks. I look at Atemu and Yugi, then I sigh and say, "Atemu and Yugi fell in love and are together."
Everyone looks at me shocked and Atemu and Yugi stare at me jaw dropped. "Really?" Marik says with a glint in his eyes. "Any teasing," Atemu glares at me and Marik, "and I'll make sure the only way you get anything again is by being submissive." "Whoa." Bakura and Seto chuckle. 'Atemu must really care for Yugi's feelings to make that kind of threat.' I think with a smirk. "I'm not surprised." The pharaoh says with a nod. "I was actually wondering when you two were going to tell each other." I look at him and say, "Pharaoh, I was wondering the same thing ever since they laid eyes on each other. "What?" Atemu and Yugi stare at us. "I've seen the looks you've thrown each other when the other wasn't looking." The pharaoh chuckles. I also chuckle and say, "Talk about love sick."
Atemu and Yugi turn bright red. They obviously didn't know they had been obvious. "That's another reason why I made the announcement that you were to be engaged by the age of 17 ½." The pharaoh explains. "I was hoping to get you two to admit your feelings." "Well it worked." Yugi mutters. "Since people are confessing," Bakura turns the attention away from the blushing couple, "Ryou and I got together two weeks ago." I look at him and say, "I knew it two weeks ago, when I started smelling your scents on each other." "Really?" Malik and Joey slyly look over at Ryou, who turns 5 shades of red. "Seto," The pharaoh glances over, "anything we should know?" "Nothing is going on between me and my servant." Seto states evenly. I smell him and do not smell Joey on him so that means he's telling the truth. "Alright." The Pharaoh nods. "Atemu, I would like to see you and Yugi in my study after breakfast." "Yes father." Atemu replies. I just look at them while chewing on a date.
After breakfast, Atemu and Yugi leave for the pharaoh's chambers, while I hang out in the lounge talking to everyone. Seto asks, "Hey, Hashira, what do you like to eat other than dates?" I say, "Well I love plants and hate meat. There is only one kind of meat that I actually love to eat." Bakura asks, "What's that?" I say, "Scarab Beetles, they are juicy and provide me with the nutrients that meat would give me." Marik asks, "Why Scarab Beetles?" I sigh and say, "On my mother's side, I am half horse, and my mom is descended from a type of horses found in Arabia, Arabian horses. In order to survive, Arabian horses are pretty much the only horses in the world that eat insects. With plants hard to find in the desert, normal horses would die, so Arabians, eat the bugs for nutrients. I just love Scarab Beetles, and they are a delicacy here in Egypt." Bakura says, "I'll see if you can get some Scarab Beetles, Hashira." I say, "Thanks, I'm going back to Atemu's chambers to wait for them." Marik says, "See ya, Hashira."
I walk back to Atemu's chambers and see he isn't there yet, so I decide to relax on the bed waiting for him and Yugi. A few minutes later, Atemu and Yugi return. Atemu says, "Hashira can you go get the gold box with the bracelet in it?" I nod and enter the jewelry room. I spot the small gold box and grab it. I take the box back to the bedchambers and give it to Atemu. "Thank you, This is what my father was talking about." Atemu says as he opens the box, showing Yugi and me the content.
It is a bracelet. The band is made of gold and silver intertwined with one another, but it is a simple design. The only jewel is a silver inlaid opal with the Millennium Symbol carved onto it. "It beautiful." Yugi breathes. "Yes." Atemu agrees. "It has been passed down generation to generation. The jewel will change color every time a new wearer is found." "What is it for?" Yugi asks. "To tell everyone that you are my lover." Atemu says as he clasps the bracelet around Yugi's wrist. As he does so, the gem shimmers and changes to a beautiful amethyst. "It matches your eyes." "Thank you." Yugi smiles. "You're welcome." Atemu smiles back before leaning down the few inches in their height and gives Yugi a kiss. "As much as I want to taste you more thoroughly, we do need to get back to the day." "Fine with me." Yugi sighs. I finally say, "You guys can fill me in on everything as we meet up with the others."
Author's notes:Well that was a good chapter, folks one difference between me and Hashira, she likes bugs and is a vegan, I will never put a bug in my mouth and I hate vegetables. Anyway I kinda enjoyed making Hashira be blunt. -looks at Raider curling up in a ball sleeping and I think snoring and is definitely looking a lot cuter than normal.- Please review. (\(^_^)/)
