Yami`s Pov
After Atem had left, I tidied the room up a bit when there was an urgent knock on the door. I frowned and opened the door to find three council members and two guards I hadn`t seen before
"Can I help you?"
"You can tell us where the Pharaoh is!" the first council member yelled
"He`s not here, he just left actually you might catch him, I think he said he was going to the stables."
"You think!" The second one yelled
"Where you not listening!?" The three one yelled, I flinched slightly
"I was too engrossed in my cleaning-"I was backhanded across the face
"You should always listen to the Pharaoh!" the first one yelled
"And you shouldn`t lay a hand on the Pharaoh personal Servant!" I heard Seth yell
"This doesn`t concern you, so go back to your cleaning job!" the second yelled but none of the looked towards Seth and I took a couple of step back
"I think you should check who you are speaking to!" Seth yelled and all turned to look at him before they paled as he was stood there with Jono, Honda and Otogi
"High Priest Seth we-"
"I don`t care what you were doing, what I do care about is you not only hitting the Pharaoh personal servant, but you have also broken the Neko rule."
"N-Neko rule?"
"The Neko Rule states that no Neko should come to harm if they do the culprit with be held and the Pharaoh will determine the charges."
"High priest we-"
"Like I said don`t care, nor will I ever but what I do care about is you assaulting The pharaoh`s personal servant who is also a Neko."
"How do you know he`s even a Neko?!" the second yelled
"I am-" I was backhanded across the face
"No-one asked you and no-one told you to speak."
"Jono contact Akefia and get Atem here now."I heard Seth whisper to Jono who nodded and let out a signal, just as the third council member grabbed my arm and pulled me from the room
"So how are you going to prove that this is a Neko."
"First you can let go of him." Seth said
"Not until you prove that it is a Neko."
"Yami!" I heard Yugi call. I looked up to see Atem and Akefia walking towards us not looking very happy and Yugi looking scared
"I`m alright Yugi."
"Yami lie, Yami been hit."
"I haven`t Yugi."
"Hand mark on face Yami." I sighed there was no point arguing with Yugi especially now that Atem looked even more angry than before
"Let go of my servant!" Atem yelled, the third council member flinched and threw me to the floor
"Yami!" Jono yelled
"I`m alright, nothing`s broken."
"Now would someone like to tell me what the hell is going on?!" Atem yelled. Jono helped me to my feet and walked me over to stand beside Seth before checking me over for anymore injuries
"Your Servant defied us." The first council member sneered
"Liar."
"Yami? Is that true?" Atem asked
"No I-"
"Why ask him? He`s nothing but a slave!" the second council member yelled
"Because I need both side of the story, now Yami tell me what happened from your point of view." I nodded

End flashback
"And then you arrived."
"Seth? Is that what happened?" Atem asked
"That is what I saw yes." Seth answered
"So you want proof that Yami is a Neko? Alright, any Neko here reveal themselves." All the Neko`s nodded and let out our tails and ears causing the council members to pale
"You hit my servant?! Twice?!" Atem yelled. I flinched, Yugi whimpered and ran over to Jono who scooped him into his arms
"P-Pharaoh, please-"
"Not only did you break the rule of punishing my servant for no reason you also attack a Neko, that is two broken laws... Honda, Otogi, Akefia you know what to do." The three said people nodded and did their jobs as Atem walked over to me before taking my face in his hands
"Atem, I`m fine."
"Those red marks on your face say otherwise." Jono snickered and I booted him in the shin causing Yugi to giggle
"They sting, that`s all." He kissed my forehead and pulled be into a hug
"I don`t want you alone for the rest of today, you`re coming with Yugi, Akefia and I to the oasis."
"But-"
"No buts, please Yami the more I leave you alone the more you get hurt, and I couldn`t deal with loosing you again...please let me look after you today." I sighed but nodded before burying my face into his neck
