An Egyptian Love Story
By: AutumnRose
Pairing: Atemu/Yugi (for now anyway)
Warning: Their will be Atemu/Yugi LEMONS in the
near future!! If you don't like this pairing or YAOI (male/male
sex) then don't read it!! You've been warned. Everyone
else read, enjoy, and for the love of Ra review. ^_^
A/N: Okay, I am going to try my hand at a fic taking place
in Ancient Egypt. This is an AU (Alternate Universe) type fic.
The pairing is mainly Atemu and Yugi, though I might, and this is a big
maybe, add other pairings (i.e. Bakura/Ryou, Marik/Malik, and Priest Seth/Jono
(Jounouchi i.e. Joey for those of you who've only seen the dub.),
but I'm not entirely sure. So for the most part this is Atemu/Yugi
centric. On another note this fic is inspired by my other fic Sacred
Dance which is the sequel to The Dance of Seduction. You don't have
to have read either of those to get this, but it would be nice if you did
anyway, but it's up to you.
A/N2: Though most of the chapter titles are titles of Dead
Can Dance songs, this is not a songfic. My obsession with
this group is probably considered unhealthy, but who cares lol. Inspiration
is inspiration, right? I'll let you know which ch. titles are DCD
songs in the disclaimer.
READ THIS OR BE CONFUSED: Okay like
I said this is AU, that said while the Sennen Items do exist they do not
play a vital role in this fic. Also I am making Atemu 18
and Yugi 16. Yugi is Romani i.e. the politically correct
term for Gypsies. Variations of this are Roma and/or Rom, just so
your not confused when I use these terms. Some of the words I will
be using in here are Romanes (the Romani
language), I will put their meanings at the beginning of each chapter.
Summary - Atemu/Yugi pairing. A story that must be told.
That of a Pharaoh and a Roma, and the love they had for each other.
A love that was unmatched by any. Their meeting foretold in flames,
their future written in the stars for all to see. Fate will bring
them together. Their hearts will keep them together, even when life
threatens to tear them apart. This is their story...

Ch. 2) Persian Teardrop
My life has been awaiting you,

Your footfall was my own heart's beat.

    -- Paul Cavafy
    They had been traveling three days non-stop, before
finally entering a village. The slave traders had let the few Roma
who remained know that they were all to be sold, except for Yugi and Mokuba.
Yugi was to be a gift for the Pharaoh, from their Persian Lord, whom the
Roma had yet to meet. Not that they really wanted to meet him.
They hated him. He was the one who 'owned' the slave traders.
It was under his orders that all but five of Yugi's kumpania
were dead.
    Yugi still couldn't understand how another human
being could give a fellow person as a gift. What was worse, giving
the 'living gift', or accepting it? He supposed at this point it
really didn't matter. They had all been stripped of their slobuzenja,
mere days ago. Yugi's spirit felt as if it had been wrapped in unbreakable
chains.
    The captured Roma
were all led into an elaborate Inn. It was here that Yugi and Mokuba
were separated from the three other Roma, never to see any of them again.
The two Roma boys were lead upstairs to a room fit for a king, or lord
as it were. The burly man who had brought them there, removed their
irons and looked them both over critically. Just his eyes on them
made the two boys feel dirty, violated.
    "Remove your clothes
Roma." The slave trader barked. The two Roma made no move to
comply to his demand, which only served to annoy him further. "If
I have to remove your clothes for you, I will do far more than just look
at your bodies." His voice was low and serious, letting the boys
know his words were no idle threat.
    The two Roma boys
hesitantly began removing their clothes, until they stood naked and vulnerable
before this doshman. The man once again looked them over, walking
in a slow circle around them, taking in every detail. Both were lithe,
and small in stature. He paid extra close attention to the oldest
of the two. His wild red, black, and light golden hair looked as
if it would be soft to the touch, which it was he noticed as he ran one
of his large hands through it. The texture like that of the softest
feathers. Running his hand over the boys shoulder and back he noticed
that his flawless skin felt like warm silk. His tan so light it was
almost nonexistent. Coming to stand in front of the desert angel
once more, he noticed with a smirk that the the little Roma wasn't so little
in all places. Even unaroused his length was quite impressive.
Though his features were almost feminine, childlike even, their was no
mistaking him for anything other than a male. His lord would be pleased
with his selection.
    "Have either of
you taken or been taken?" The man asked. Both Roma shook their
head's in a negative. "Good." He responded pleased. It
was so hard to find such beautiful slaves, who still had their innocence.
His lord would be very pleased. "You are both to bathe, and dress
in the clothes that will be laid out for you. Then you will wait
in this room until further notice. Do you understand?" At both
boy's nods he turned to leave the room. "If either of you try to
escape I will personally cut off your feet." With the threat hanging
in the air, the slave trader left the boys to their task.
    After the man
left the two began to converse in their native tongue (It's still written
in English with the exception of a word here and there, but just pretend
it's all Romanes).
"I'm scared Plal Yugi." Mokuba
said his eyes shining with unshed tears.
"I know Mokuba. So am I."
Yugi relied, gently laying a hand on the boy's exposed shoulder.
"What do we do now?" Mokuba
asked softly.
"We have no choice but to do what
we are told, but don't worry, I'll think of some way to get us out of this."
Yugi replied.
"Where will we go? All our friends and loved ones are gone."
Mokuba responded forlornly.
    "I don't know, but at least we still have each other.
Besides anything is better than what will happen to us if we stay."
Yugi said trying to at the very least reassure his friend. There
was a brief pause before Mokuba spoke again, his voice shaky. "Plal
Shon... If you are to be a 'gift' for the Pharaoh, who am I being given
too?" The very thought of being separated from the only 'family'
he had left terrified him. "I don't know, but we will both be within
the palace walls, so I won't be far from you." Yugi said trying his
best to comfort his friend. He knew exactly to whom the boy was being
given to, having overheard the slave traders talking. He remembered
them saying that 'the little blue eyed Rom' was going to be a gift for
the High Priest Seth (there will be no romance and such between Seth and
Mokuba, just wanted to clear that up). One did not have to be a native
of Egypt to have heard of that man. In all truth Yugi feared for
Mokuba's life, but he didn't have the heart to tell him who his 'master'
would be. He silently prayed to any God that would listen that he
had misheard those men, and Mokuba would be in the care of someone else.
Anyone else, and treated good. Of course realistically very few slaves
were treated good by their masters, but still.
    After that silence
fell on them, as they both slowly walked to the bathing area that was attached
to the room. The large tub was filled with comfortably hot water,
rose petals and other flowers scattered throughout the water giving it
a pleasant scent. They both climbed in and began cleaning themselves
off. The sweat and sand from all their travels, both with there kumpania
and the slave traders, clouding the water. They remained silent as
there was really nothing more that could be said in this situation.
    Yugi tried desperately
to think of a way to get them out of there, but no matter what, nothing
he could think of seemed plausible. No matter what scenario came
to mind, if they were caught, and they undoubtedly would be, they would
either be killed or lose body parts. If it were only himself Yugi
would have gladly risked death to escape, but he wouldn't be responsible
for Mokuba's death. It just wasn't right to put someone else life
on the line. Maybe when we get to the palace, after the slave
traders have gone, we'll be able to make our escape. Until then we
have no choice but to do what ever they say. Yugi thought sadly
to himself. One minute they were all happy and free, but now... life
had become a living nightmare.
    After they finished
bathing, they climbed out of the tub and dried off. Reentering the
room they had been in with the burly man earlier, the two Roma boys saw
the close that had been laid out for them, no doubt by another slave.
Yugi stared disbelieving at the clothes left for him. These
weren't the clothes of a slave, they were the garments of 'harem boy'.
    Letting out a sigh that bordered on a sob Yugi began
to dress. The nearly transparent white material of the 4-panel skirt
with galbi (gold coins, often worn as
decoration) and golden bead trim, falling to his ankles. The
belt was completely covered in iridescent white sequins and beads with
sparkling gold sequin and beads hand stitched into elaborate designs (lol
sound familiar). After dressing he added the matching golden bracelets,
and the golden collar adorned with sparkling diamonds. Lastly
he put on the gold dangly anklets. Though he admitted, to himself
at least, that the 'clothes' were very beautiful, what they symbolized
however took away from there beauty. He was to be a concubine to
the Pharaoh. I'd rather be a slave. He thought bitterly,
turning to see what Mokuba's fate was to be.
    Yugi's eyes widened in horror as he noticed the other
boy's outfit was similar to his own. And Mokuba, though still just
a boy, knew very well what his garments meant. Crystalline tears
streaming down his cheeks as he finished dressing. Mokuba's ensemble
nearly mirrored his own except for the colors. Where Yugi's was iridescent
white and sparkling gold, the others was a brilliant dark blue and sparkling
gold, he too had the golden bracelets and anklets, though his golden collar
was encrusted with blue diamonds (yes natural blue diamonds are real and
very beautiful).
    They didn't know how much time they had before the
slave trader returned to take them to the palace, nor did they care.
Yugi wrapped his arms around his friend, and together they cried.
They knew how the world was, but even so, how could anyone take someone
so young into their bed? Sure they were both young, but Mokuba was
only ten! They should never have come to Egypt. If only they
had gone somewhere else, there kumpania
would still be alive, and they would still be free. Free and
happy. If only things could have been different. If only.
~*~*~*~
    Atemu paced infront of his throne. In another
hour the Persian Lord would be there, and he was not looking forward to
it. He may be Pharaoh, but he was still young, and there were other
things he would rather be doing then having to argue with another about
why he wasn't interested in marrying said persons daughter.
    High Priest Seth watched on in amusement at his Pharaoh's
antics. Much to Atemu's dismay, he rather enjoyed watching how his
friend would get out of unwanted marriage proposals (in this fic Atemu
and Seth are friends, and Seth will not be betraying him). "What
are you smirking at?" Atemu asked stopping to face his most trusted
(ah the power of creative license) friend.
"Why do you let these things get to you?" Seth responded with
a question of his own.
"All of Egypt knows I prefer the company of other men, so then why can't
the rest of the world accept it." Atemu said frustrated.
"Would you rather they try and marry off their sons to you?" Seth
replied, suppressing a chuckle.
"That's not even funny." Atemu deadpanned.
"Is it not?"
"No. Besides, if I ever do decide to marry, I will be the to pick
to whom it will be with."
    Seth nodded and the two engaged in conversation for
the better part of an hour before they were interrupted by a guard.
"Pharaoh, the Persian Lord and his company have arrived."   He
announced after bowing, awaiting further instruction. Atemu sighed
before giving his orders to the guard. "Very well, bring them in
here." The guard bowed once more before going to do as he was told.
~*~*~
    Yugi and Mokuba
had silently cried together until the burly slave trader came back to retrieve
them. They were now on their way to the palace of the Pharaoh, and
once they stepped within the palace walls they would officially be nothing
more than property. Objects to be used however their masters chose.
Their tears had long since stopped falling, as they braced themselves for
whatever fate awaited them.
    They all stood
outside awaiting permission for entry. The strangest thing was, Yugi's
spirit seemed eager to enter the palace, as if what it had been crying
out for would be found inside. This confused him to know end, and
then he heard Nadja's words echo once more in his head, "In their loss,
they will find comfort ...but in the end everything that has been lost
will not have been in vain..." Would he find his 'golden sun'
in his soon to be prison? He did not have long to ponder this however
as a palace guard had come back out to escort them in.
    The tricolor haired
Roma took in his surprisingly beautiful surroundings as they were led to
the throne room. The small group finally coming to a stop infont
of a pair of large gold plated doors. As they were opened, they slowly
walked inside, Mokuba holding on tightly to Yugi's hand like a lifeline.
    There sitting
on the golden throne was the Pharaoh, his soon to be master. Yugi's
breath caught as his eyes took in the sight of him. He looked almost
like himself; only older, taller, and with sharper features. Not
to mention his skin was darker. It's him! My golden sun!
The cool wind voice of his spirit cried out. To say Yugi was shocked
by this revelation was an understatement. He was torn between running
up to the Pharaoh or running away to hide. The Persian Lord however
saved him the trouble of either when he spoke up.
    "Pharaoh Atemu,
I come bearing gifts." The lord announced. He clapped his hands
a few times, and his servants stepped forward with various imported silks,
jewels, and foods of the finest quality, which they set infront of him.
Atemu looked over that which had been given, nodding his approval.
"Ah, but that is not all, I bring you a new concubine. One of the
most beautiful Roma I have ever laid my eyes upon, and I think you will
agree." The lord boasted as he motioned for one of his men to bring
the boy, who was currently cowering behind one of his servants, before
the Pharaoh.
    Atemu's eyes widened
as he was met with the boy. Indeed this Roma was a beauty to beheld.
He too noticed the similarities of the boy to himself. He stood,
walking to stand before the Roma boy, his hand almost of its own accord
reaching out to touch the soft flawless skin of the boy's face. Atemu
was in awe of the Roma boy before him, and though cool, calm, and collected
on the outside, on the inside his spirit wept with joy. This boy
is what he had been waiting for, that which he needed.
    The Pharaoh turned
to face the lord, and spoke. "I accept this gift with much gratitude,
and you are right, he is beautiful." Yugi blushed at the compliment,
which gained a smirk from Atemu. The Persian Lord on the other hand
had a look on his face that clearly showed that he was very pleased with
how things were going. He turned to The High Priest who was still
standing beside the golden throne, regarding everything with disinterest.
"I did not forget you High Priest Seth." The lord said as another
one of his men brought forth the other Roma boy. "A gift for you."
As Seth looked over at the blue eyed Roma boy, his own icy blue eyes widened
in recognition before narrowing into dangerous slits. He nodded curtly
and then pulled the boy to stand behind him.
    This action did
not go unnoticed by Atemu, he would inquire about that later, but now the
lord was speaking again. "You will both be pleased to know that these
two Roma are still pure." Once again both Pharaoh and High Priest
nodded, both pleased with this bit of information, each for entirely different
reasons.
    After the gifts
were received the Persian Lord got back to the reason why he had traveled
all the way to Egypt from his homeland. Just as Atemu had expected,
it was to offer him his daughter. Though it was getting late, and
he wanted to spend some time with his new 'gift'. He politely but
firmly informed the lord that he was going to be retiring to his room,
and that they would finish this discussion tomorrow.
    Atemu ordered
his servants to escort his guests to their respective rooms before bidding
them all a goodnight. Turning toward the way to his royal bedchamber
he motioned for Yugi to follow. Seth had long taken his 'gift' to
his own room. Atemu couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he was
sure their was a connection between his friend the the youngest Roma boy.
He would definitely ask him about it later, but for now there were more
important things he wished to attend to.

In the hour of darkness

Our worlds collide...

...The light of hope

Shines in your eyes...

    -- from Advent by Dead Can Dance

TBC...

END NOTE: I think I have pretty much explained how I'm
going to do things in this fic, either at the beginning in the ANs or throughout
the chapter. If you have any questions feel free to ask them in your
review. Also I am trying very hard to keep out any grammatical errors
(it bugs the hell out of me when I find them in my own fics; English and
Creative Writing were my best subjects in school), so if you spot any that
I may have missed please let me know so that I can fix them.
ONE MORE THING: When I started this the only
characters I had in mind were Atemu and Yugi, but I also stated that other
(Yu-Gi-Oh) characters may or may not show up. This is and always
will be Atemu/Yugi centric so don't worry. Mokuba appeared out of
nowhere mainly because I needed another character to accompany Yugi, and
I generally cannot stand OCs (unless they are villains and will end up
dying sooner or later), plus I think Mokuba's name has a bit of a Roma
ring to it. Priest Seth (i.e. Seto) is here just because I wanted
him to be. And like I said there will be absolutely no romance or
anything sexual between him and Mokuba. Seth is also a good guy in
the sense that he will not be betraying Atemu (they are friends in this).
I don't know yet who else will be showing up, but I can darn well tell
you who won't be; Tea, Mai, any other female character with the
exception of Isis and Mana (but if those two do make an appearance they
will have very small roles). I don't really have anything against
the female cast of Yu-Gi-Oh, I just prefer not to add them in my fics.
Lastly about the Persian Lord and his daughter (she is not a Mary Sue)
they are fleeting guests, as in after the first half of the next chapter
they will neither be seen or heard from again. I just needed someway
to have Atemu and Yugi meet, and they just happened to be the way I'm going
to do it.
Please for the love of Ra and
Yaoi review!!! lol I'm shameless. Anywho I'll try and have
the next chappy up by Monday. Tuesday at the latest. Who knows
might be sooner.
