"Pharaoh is there something we might do for you?" one of them asked as I reached them

"Yes I need a few of you to escort me into the kingdom."

"Of course Pharaoh." Six of them surrounded the horse and I nodded to the first one that called out to me when I first approached

"Move out!" he yelled and the guard started to walk and I followed. As we were approaching the kingdom I looked down at Yugi to see him looking down at the guards before looking up at me

"Papa."

"Yes Yugi?"

"They always like that?"

"Like what little one?" he pointed at them

"Like that, all stuck up." I chuckled

"Yugi they`re not stuck up, they are being alert just in case someone decides to attack us." He looked up at me with wide watery eyes

"But why would people do that papa?" I pulled him closer to me to sooth him a little to stop him from crying

"Because, not everyone likes me, and some people would rather someone else be in charge."

"But I like you papa." I smiled

"I know you do Yugi, and so do a lot of other people, but not others, so some people try to um take my crown."

"But Papa I don`t want you to go."

"Don`t worry Yugi I`m not going anywhere not for a while at least."

"Papa promise?" I smiled

"I promise." He smiled and snuggled into my stomach causing me to chuckle. We arrived in the kingdom and the people started to stop what they were doing and stared at us causing Yugi who was looking around in awe to whimper. I growled slightly and glared at them causing them to jump and hurry back to what they were doing

"Papa why they stare?"

"I don`t know Yugi, but it`s very rude." Yugi nodded and continued to look around

"I didn`t know the royal Family were Freaks." I heard someone say and a suddenly stopped Heba and turned back to glare at the person

"How dare you disrespect the Royal Family especially in my presence!"

"M-My P-Pharaoh! I-I`m so-"

"Save it, you shouldn`t have disrespected my family in the first place!" Yugi hissed at the man

"Bad man, you upset Papa."

"I-I`m so-"

"No Speak! You upset Papa more!" I chuckled slightly

"My Pharaoh, your orders?" One of the guards asked, I looked at the man to see him glaring at Yugi, causing him to cower slightly. I pulled Yugi close to me and glared at the man

"You know what to do when the Royal Family is disrespected." The guard nodded and I heard murmurs as the man was taken to the palace and I continued to ride through the kingdom

"That man deserves whatever the pharaoh chooses to do."

"No-one should disrespect the royal family."

"How can you dislike something as cute and adorable as the Neko with the Pharaoh."

"The pharaoh must really care for that Neko."

I smiled at all the comments and I looked down at Yugi to find him fast asleep. I chuckled and turned Heba around to head back to the palace. We arrived no long after and I climbed off Heba before picking Yugi up and leaving the stables and leaving one of the guards to dismount my horse. I walked through the hallways heading to my chambers when Marik approached me with Malik behind him

"Atem, I just wanted to thank you and Yugi for today." Marik stated and I nodded

"It was my pleasure to help Marik and you can thank Yugi later at the moment he`s asleep." Marik patted Yugi behind his ears causing him to purr in his sleep

"What did you do to the little guy? He looks worn out."

"We went into the kingdom, and met a man who dared to disrespect the royal family just because I had Yugi with me."

"What an asshole, can I torture him?" I chuckled

"Maybe, but I want to get Yugi back to my chambers first before I decide anything."

"Alright, we will leave you too it."

"Sleep well Yugi." Malik said and Yugi curled up in my arms and snuggling into my warmth

"I`m sure he will Malik."

"Ah, I-I forgot y-you can understand us." Malik nervously said causing Marik and I to chuckle

"I`ll have to have that spell put on me so I can understand the Neko language as well." Marik said while pulling Malik close causing him to blush and I chuckled

"Well, I`m sure Yami and Jono would be happy to place the spell o both you and Bakura, but right now I must get back to my chambers before either Yugi wakes up or Yami starts to get worried."

"Alright, we`ll leave you be, goodnight Atem." Marik said and began to pull Malik down the hall

"Goodnight Pharaoh." Malik called as he was pulled around the corner and out of sight, I chuckled and continued onto my chambers. When I got there I opened the door to see Yami pacing the room not even noticing that I had arrived until I had closed the door and tucked Yugi into my bed because the next thing I knew I had arms thrown around my neck and Yami was kissing me, which shocked me at first but I quickly returned it afterwards before we pulled apart for air

"Well hello to you too."

"I was worried where were you?"
