"I-What?"
"Don`t worry Jono, there is nothing you have to apologise for why don`t you take Yugi into the gardens?" I nodded and walked in the direction of the gardens but Yugi lent over my should to cll back to them
"Bye Papa!" I stopped walking and turned back to the others to see them smiling, I sighed and continued to walk to the gardens. Once there I sat down by the pond and set Yugi in my lap
"Yugi what did you call the Pharaoh?"
"Papa…he said me could call him anything me wanted, but ince daddy is in sky wiv Ra and we stay here now me thought it fit, was I wrong?" I smiled at him
"No Yugi you weren`t wrong it just shows you see Atem as a father figure."
"What me call Sef?"
"What?"
"Me call Pearoh Papa and Sef is Papa`s cuzion what me call him?"
"Hmm…how about Uncle Seth? I`m sure he`d like that." He smiled and nodded before looking sad
"Jono you mad at me?" I blinked in surprise
"What do you mean?"
"Me hit you estersday, you yelled at me you mad?"
"No Yugi I`m not mad, I didn`t mean to yell at you I was still mad at Bakura but when you hit me I was surprised and lashed out at you, I`m sorry." He snuggled into my chest
"It okay Jono, me forgive." I smiled and hugged him
"Thank you Yugi."
"Jono! Come on we have things to do!" I heard Seth yell for the entry way, Yugi jumped from my lap and ran towards him
"Uncle Sef!" I chuckled as I stood. I walked over and saw Seth holding Yugi in his arms, smiling
"Not that I don't like it but why did he call me uncle?" Seth asked
"He asked what he could call you, since he is calling Atem Papa and you are his cousin he wanted to know what he could call you, I suggested uncle cause I thought you`d like it." He chuckled and petted Yugi`s head before scratching in front of where my ears would be
"Come on you two, let`s go do something productive while Atem is in his meeting." I nodded and we walked down the hallway to Seth`s work chambers. When we arrived Seth opened the doors and walked inside with me following so I was the last one in so I closed the doors behind us
"Ow." I heard Yugi say
"Ow?"
"I think he means wow Jono, he`s staring around the room in awe." Seth explained
"Oh."
"You like it in here little one?" Seth asked Yugi
"Pretty." Yugi replied and Seth chuckled before setting Yugi on one of his work benches
"It`s not all that pretty Yugi." Seth said and turned away to pick up a few jars
"But uncle Sef all the colours!" I chuckled and sat down in one of the chairs that were n the room
"There may be colours around the room Yugi, but most of the things in this room are books and scrolls." Yugi `hmphed` na crossed his arms with a pout forming on his face
"It still pretty Uncle Sef." I chuckled at the exchange between the two
"Okay if you say it`s pretty then so be it." I let out a fake gasp and Seth turned to look at me
"Jono okay?" Yugi asked
"Jono is something wrong?" Seth asked
"You gave in so easily, I`m ashamed to call you my master." Seth stared at me with wide eyes where as Yugi just giggled and I smirked a bit
"Can you not give in to Yugi?" Seth asked, I shrugged
"Fair point but at least I can still put up more of an argument with him before I give in."
"Me still win though." Yugi proclaimed, I chuckled as Seth just smiled and shook his head
"That you do but you normally end up being tickled afterwards." Yugi frown and crossed his arms
"Me no like tickle."
"That`s why we use it as a punishment." Then someone knocked on the door, Seth walked over to Yugi and picked him up before kneeling down and hiding him in a cupboard
"Yugi stay here and stay quiet, don`t come out until I tell you to do so okay?" Seth asked
"Okay Uncle Sef." Seth nodded and closed the cupboards just as another knock sounded but this one sounded harsher than the one before. Seth stood up and walked over to me before taking my hand and pulling me behind a book shelf and pushed me gently to the ground
"Stay here, and be quiet no matter what happens okay?" I nodded and he walked around the book shelf, I heard the door open
"It`s about time!" I heard Princess Vivian say
"I`m sorry I was in the middle of reading up on something the pharaoh gave me to finish for by the next time we see each other, now I there something I can do for you?" Seth lied smoothly
"Yes, I know you have that little fur ball in here and I want it killed, I also what that slave of yours punished now."
"Not going to happen."
"Then I`ll have you punished or better yet killed." I gasped quietly; clamped my eyes closed and shook my head
"I highly doubt the Pharaoh would have his own Cousin killed."
"He will after I tell him you`ve committed treason."
"He`ll never believe you."
"We`ll see." Then I heard the door close
"Jono? Are you alright?" I heard Seth ask, I opened my eyes to see him knelt down in front of me
"Yeah, I`ll be okay." He nodded and pulled me to my feet
"Come on we need to get Yugi and go to Atem`s meeting, Cause I know Vivian will go straight there." I nodded and let him pull me out from behind the bookcase and made me wait by the door while he went to get yugi. He opened the cupboard and Yugi jumped out at him
"Uncle Sef! You okay!" Yugi yelled and Seth chuckled
"Of course I am, but we need to go find Papa now."
"Okay." Seth stood up and walked over to me
"Come on." He took my hand and pulled me out of the room and pulled me to the meeting room. When we got there the doors were already open so we went inside and saw Atem looking furious and Vivian looked like she had been crying
"How dare you accuse my cousin of such nonsense!"Atem roared
"It`s true! I heard him myself ask the little thing he has in his arms!" Vivian yelled, Atem sighed and looked at us
"Yugi? Is she telling the truth?"
"No Papa she lie, Uncle Sef good."
"There is no way to prove I`m lying."
"But there is no way to prove you are tell the truth either." Seth stated
"No true. Me can show you, me saw."
"You were watching?" Atem asked
