I sighed
"Alright we can safely say that she will be leaving in two days….can you lot handle that?"
"Can we pull pranks on her?" Marik asked. I sighed
"Nothing hurtful to her or me."
"Why would you include yourself in that?" Yami asked
"Because she`ll come to me about it and if I`m holding Yugi his claws my do some damage… so might hers."
"I thought you weren't judgemental about people." Seth said
"Yes but I know a gold digger when I see one."
"I think we all can." Bakura stated
"Papa, why that lady here?" Yugi asked, I sighed
"Because some of the people I work with are idiots."
"Hey." Marik complained
"You moron he didn`t mean us." Bakura said
"Oh." I sighed and stood up before walking over to Jono and taking Yugi from him and walking out of the room. I walked to the stables and set Yugi on my horse before climbing on myself; Yugi lent against me as I directed the horse to leave the stables
"Papa, where are we going?" I smiled
"You remember the place where we first met Akefia?"
"Me do."
"Well we are going there."
"Why?"
"Because I needed to get away for a while but I didn`t want to leave you at the palace."
"Why?" I chuckled
"You tend run off from your brother and uncles if you`re away from me for too long." He smiled innocently at me
"What do you mean papa?" I chuckled
"Don`t go giving me that look, cause I can see right through it." I tickled him and he laughed
We`d stopped using tickling as a punishment to Yugi cause he started to enjoy it too much, but none of us have figured out a new punishment for him yet. I stopped tickling him and he giggled. I smiled and looked up at the sky
(If only you could be here now father, you would have loved Yugi...just like I do)
"Papa, papa look." I looked down at Yugi to see him pointing a head, I looked to see butterflies flying across the village and children playing
"Oh yes, I forgot today is the celebration of the Gods."
"You mean like God Ra?" I smiled
"Yes Yugi, he is one of the Gods who protect Egypt." Just then a butterfly landed on Yugi`s nose, I chuckled
"Papa shh." I smiled as two more butterflies landed in each on his hands
"They seem to really like you Yugi."
"They like you too Papa, look." He pointed up at my crown and I looked to see three butterflies settled there, opening and closing their wings
"Hm, I guess you`re right Yugi." Then all the butterflies flew away from us and we watched them go
"Pretty."
"Yes it is."
We rode for a while longer before we arrive at the oasis. Yugi climbed up onto my shoulders and I climbed of Heba and led him over to the water
"There you go Heba you, you deserve it." He nuzzled the side of my face before drinking the water
"Papa, orse understand?" I smiled and stroked Heba`s mane
"I guess he does."
"Papa, what was your daddy like?" I smiled and walked over to the tree before sitting down. Yugi climbed into my lap and looked up at me
"Well, my father was a kind man... he loved the people in the kingdom and he was respected my most people-"
"Did papa`s daddy love him? Like I do papa?" I chuckled
"Yes Yugi, he did love me, like you love me."
"Where he now?" I sighed
"He`s...He`s gone Yugi."
"He with Ra?" I smiled and looked to the sky
"I believe he is."
-Elsewhere-
"Your son has taken a lot after you."
"Yes, I know...and from what I`ve seen I would love Yugi, like Atem does."
"Your son has show great respect to the Neko race by protecting them all he can."
"Indeed but I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."
