:Hello everyone,god this was hard to write due to the environment not being right, but here it is. I want to thank everyone for the positive feedback and support, it helps me a lot, now I am sorry to keep you waiting, so here is the chapter; please review and enjoy!:
Atemu smiled happily as he walked, his eyes closed and feeling completely at peace as he thought of the lovely student he had encountered. Such a beautiful girl, truly a princess made from a fairy tale. Who could compete with that face, that voice, those eyes? Nothing could, absolutely nothing in the world could even think to rival her fantastic features.
"Can someone snap him out of it?" Malik asked, pointing at Atemu's face as they stopped walking. They had finished walking down the road, and were required to go to the headmaster's building, which happened to be the least extravagant building in the area. It was a simple, wooden cottage, it was hard to believe that this could be their place, but in front of it stood a small sign that read; Headmaster's House. They were standing in front it, and Mana, Malik, and Seto were circled around Atemu, who looked as if he had died and went to heaven. His eyes were closed, his cheeks were a bright red, and he had a dreamlike smile on his face.
"Anyone have a bucket of water?" Mana grumbled, feeling embarrassed for her brother's behavior. First he mistook a guy for a girl, and now he's being a lovestruck schoolgirl...Seto started snapping in front of Atemu's face, successfully gaining the dreaming teen's attention. Atemu opened his eyes, blinked, and then turned his gaze to Seto.
"What?" Atemu questioned, noticing how they were staring at him. "Is something wrong?" Seto let out a deep sigh and put a palm on his forehead.
"No, No." He grumbled. "Nothing's wrong..." He straightened his jacket, cleared his throat and knocked on the door. The four of them heard footsteps walk up to the closed door, and opened it to reveal a man with short, shoulder length, silver hair that covered one of his chocolate brown eyes, he wore a golden suit with a white shirt and a matching golden tie and shoes, the man smiled.
"Ah, if it isn't the royals!" The man's voice giggled, taking a step to the side, holding out his hand in a welcoming gesture. "Do come in." Seto nodded in thanks and entered the building first, he felt an instant discomfort, but it was most likely temporarily and due to the man's voice, it sounded strange.
The inside of the building was very, in a word, homey. It looked like your average country house on the inside, there was a couch, a television, a rug, some bookshelves, a set of stairs, some doors and paintings along the walls, it was as simple as you could get. The man smiled and gestured for them to follow him to a room. The four followed obediently, looking around to view the pictures on the walls as they walked. The room they entered was as simple as the living room, it looked like your standard office. Desk, bookshelves, file cabinets, a chair behind the desk, some decorations and papers on the desk, and more chairs in the front of it. Atemu and Mana were surprised when they found that they liked the place, they were used to very extravagant rooms, but they welcomed this change, it was very refreshing.
"Now then," The man took a seat behind the desk and placed his elbows onto the desk, folding his hands together. "Let us get introductions out of the way first, shall we?" Seto took a step forward.
"I am-"
"Seto Kaiba, the royal's adviser." The man interrupted, he turned his eyes to the other three, saying their names as he looked at them. "Prince Atemu, Princess Mana, and the chosen friend to accompany them; Malik Ishtar." Atemu rose an eyebrow, if he knew our names, why did he ask for introductions in the first place?
"I am Maximillion Pegasus, the school's headmaster." He smiled happily at them. "It is an honor to be in your presence, your highness's." He spoke, gesturing to Atemu and Mana. The siblings bowed politely.
"And it is an honor to be in yours, Mr. Pegasus." The two siblings spoke in a formal, polite way. Malik blinked in surprise at them, to him it looked as if it had been rehearsed! How is royalty like this, he looked to a picture in the room, trying not to think too hard about it. Pegasus nodded, his smile still on his face, he rose from his seat.
"Now, I believe you have read the papers I've sent you, correct?" Pegasus questioned, the siblings nodded at him. "Good, then you know that you have free roam of the school for a whole month, you may participate in classes, or just simply watch them. Due to the reason of you being here, you are allowed to choose a student, and take them out of class at any time to spend time with them." Atemu's face brightened at this, he could take a student out of class whenever he wanted?! Oh, he would use that to his advantage, a lot.
"Your dorms are right beside mine, you'll be able to tell it's yours, trust me on this." Pegasus chuckled before he continued. "You are allowed to leave your dorms at anytime, but I would be happy if you did not kidnap students out of their beds at night for...special...time." Atemu and Mana blushed at this, did he think that they wanted to do that right away? What kind of royals did this guy have in the past?!
"I am sure you know that every Wednesday this month, there will be an event to celebrate you being here." Pegasus smiled. "But you will have to choose the event tomorrow by spinning a wheel in the auditorium, every event will be random." Malik brightened up at this, events sound fun! He looked at Pegasus and thought of how he acted so far, or maybe not...He shivered at the thought of weird events.
"Are there any questions?" Pegasus asked, he waited for a few seconds, seeing if anyone would speak up. He smiled. "Alright, now I know it's been a long day for you four, and since it is the end of the school day for the students." He gestured to the door.
"I would recommend you find your dorm rooms and rest until tomorrow."

"Oh, that Pegasus guy was not kidding." Malik spoke, his eyes widening as he saw a large building come into view. The building was in the form of a large, but mini, stone castle with red carpeted stairs leading up to a pair of ginormous wooden doors. It looked like a castle straight out of a fairy tale.
"Beauty and The Beast, anyone?" Malik said, humor in his voice as he and the others walked up to it.
"I was thinking more of Rapunzel." Mana mumbled under her breath, stepping up to the large door at the same time as everyone else.
"The Sleeping Beauty fairy tale comes to mind." Atemu chuckled as he pushed on the doors, opening them with ease, he was surprised, they looked heavy, but they were as light as Styrofoam. Seto pinched the door with two fingers, pulling and rubbing some kind of material between them.
"It's some kind of soft wood..." Seto whispered, dusting his fingers off as he looked around. The inside was like a fairy tale as well, the walls and floors were stone and marble, a red carpet was spread out in the middle leading up to a grand staircase, open doors were at each side and at the top was a large door and two other staircases leading up to different hallways.
"Okay, this is totally Beauty and The Beast." Malik commented, looking around. Seto cleared his throat and stepped out of their line they had formed absentmindedly, standing in front of them.
"Now," Seto began. "The workers here have said that they have moved our luggage to our rooms, however they didn't give us any numbers to indicate which room was whose, but they did say that Mana's room was next to Atemu's room..." Seto sighed and looked to Malik.
"But they mentioned nothing about ours." He said, irritated at the workers. Just because they weren't royalty, didn't mean they didn't have the right to know where the hell their room was! Malik pumped his fist in the air.
"Room hunt!" Malik yelled, his voice bouncing off the stone walls. He dashed up the stairs, not hearing Seto's yelling to come back or his frantic running to catch up with him. Atemu and Mana watched this, amused until they disappeared from sight. Mana turned to her brother and smiled.
"Shall we go look too?" She suggested, Atemu smiled back at her and nodded, beginning to walk to the stairs, side by side with his sister.
They walked around the castle, taking in the scenery of it and at the craftsmanship of the building, it was truly a lovely place to explore. Atemu and Mana were used to castles, but this was such a unique area that they couldn't help but be impressed. Atemu smiled as he thought of fairy tales, it reminded him of his Princess, yes, his princess. She was beautiful in every way, but he had only one question about her.
"Mana, do you remember the girl I talked to as we walked?" Atemu questioned, Mana turned her eyes to him and struggled as she tried not to roll her eyes at him. Oh yes, she saw her very well.
"Yes, I do." She answered, thinking her brother was as blind as a bat. "Why, is something wrong?" Atemu sighed and looked at the doors, hoping for a sign to notice which one was his or Mana's.
"It's just..." He looked back to Mana. "She was wearing the boy's uniform, wasn't she?" Mana almost tripped over nothing as she heard this, so he did notice that! Perhaps her brother wasn't so blind after all!
"Yes, yes she was." She responded, trying to hide her happiness, perhaps now he would realize that she was a he? Atemu looked at the ceiling in thought.
"Do you think she's a cross dresser?" Mana tripped over nothing, but was caught by her brother before she fell completely to the ground. She stood up straight with his help, thanking him quietly and sighing.
"No, I don't think she's a cross dresser." She said, hinting the truth behind her words. Atemu tilted his head at his sister, letting her go and walking side by side with her once more.
"But then, why would she wear the boy's uniform?"
"Maybe she's not really into skirts."
"So, she's wearing it because she's into pants?"
"Or maybe she can't wear skirts because it'd make her look funny."
"I think she'd look marvelous in a skirt." Mana wanted to die at that, how could her brother be so dense?! It was obvious that his princess was a boy! He had a feminine face, but the uniform and the way he wasn't drooling over him was proof enough! Mana felt sorry for the poor boy, he probably had his manliness shot down to the ground at her brother's comment. If only she could apologize for Atemu's blindness, well she had free roam, she could find the boy and apologize tomorrow. Atemu stopped suddenly, his head turned toward a set of doors.
"I found our rooms." Atemu spoke, pointing at the doors. Mana looked at them and smiled, on the rooms were labels that read 'Princess' and 'Prince'. She took a step away from her brother, only to turn back to him and give him a quick hug.
"I'm going to go unpack and rest, I'm tired." She said, smiling up at him. Atemu nodded and gave his sister a quick kiss on the forehead.
"Alright, may you have sweet dreams, Mana." He smiled softly at her. She smiled back, reaching up and placing a kiss on his cheek.
"And you as well, big brother." She detached herself from him and looked to her door, she bit her lip and looked back to her brother. "Atemu, can I give you some advice?" Atemu tilted his head in confusion.
"Yes, what is it?" He questioned, she smiled and poked the bridge of his nose, causing him to look at her finger and go cross eyed.
"Get some high quality glasses made for you." She said sweetly as she removed her finger and headed off to the inside of her room. Atemu stood there, confused, and scratched the back of his head.
"Why do I need glasses?" He whispered to himself, shaking his head, and grabbing the doorknob of his room, opening it. Atemu looked around the room, impressed by how it looked, there was a king sized cream colored canopy bed in the center of the room, light wooded bed stands, a mini fridge in a corner next to a small table and two chairs, a large flat screened television, a light wooded coffee table in front of it along with a large cream colored loveseat, a large body mirror in a different corner, a large dresser, and two doors that most likely led to a bathroom and closet. The walls were cream colored, just like the loveseat and bed, and the floors were a light brown carpeting.
He looked at the bed, seeing two large suitcases on top of it. He sighed and walked to the cases, grabbing one and opening it to see some clothes he had packed. They were simple clothes that Seto had recommended buying to make them fit in more nicely with the students, so he had his very own Millennium High uniform, a couple of jeans, and a couple of T-shirts with some boxers and socks. He had only three pairs of shoes, uniform shoes, dance shoes, and tennis shoes. Atemu looked to his feet, never mind he had four. He grabbed his clothes and shoes, putting his clothes in the dresser and his shoes at the side of it.
He reached for the other suitcase and opened it, inside was a toothbrush, toothpaste, a brush, some shampoo, and a picture of his family and friends. Atemu grabbed the picture, smiling at the golden frame, he rose a hand and touched the face of his father, who was standing in regal golden clothes that symbolized that he had power, that he was the Pharaoh. He set the picture on the bed stand, his face still smiling at it. Atemu began to take out the hygiene supplies, only to find a small golden crown that matched his own buried amongst it all, he narrowed his eyes as he took it out. It looked exactly like his, but it was smaller, more feminine then his own. He chuckled as he remembered why he had packed it, his mother had given it to him, so he may crown his spouse when he found the one. His smile grew as he thought this, oh, he had found the one, there was no mistake that the girl he had encountered was the one. Why else would his heart pound, and his face heat up at the sight of her? The only explanation to it all, was that the gods were telling him that he had found his princess, his Princess of The Sun.
He set the crown next to the picture, telling himself that he had to wait. He couldn't just walk up to her and crown her right away, no, he had to get to know her first. After all, you couldn't marry a person you just met...Atemu threw himself onto his back, landing on the soft, silken bedsheets. He placed an arm over his eyes, not expecting sleep to overcome him as he whispered out a simple comment to his statement. I can't marry a person I just met...
"But Ra, do I want to..."
:Okay, so Atemu fell hard, but Yugi sure the hell didn't XD. I hope you liked this chapter, please review!:
