Chapter Three
Mahado was amazed he finally managed to get the three cursed men to the meeting room without one of them killing the other.
Surprisingly it was Osiris who was the instigator this time. Obviously still annoyed with Bakura, the Sky Dragon strategically wrapped itself around Pharaoh’s waist as they headed for the meeting room and was able to tangle its tail in the Thief King’s legs, sending the man staggering into Seth. Not reacting well to losing his balance while holding his precious Blue Eyes, Seth turned with a murderous look that only seemed to goad the thief on.
With a smirk the thief reached out and started poking Seth in the shoulder, causing a growl to issue from the Priest.
Realizing things were about to go from bad to worse, Mahado made a grab for the two antagonists only to have them scatter out of the group of startled Priests surrounding them. Turning toward Pharaoh, he found the god monster looking back at him with a smug expression on its face where it rested innocently on Pharaoh’s shoulder.
“Don’t think you can fool me with that look.” Mahado snapped at the Sky Dragon, getting an odd look from his Pharaoh.
“What was that Mahado?” Atemu asked curiously.
Before he could answer, Mahado heard Bakura shout insanely, “Tag, you’re it!”
Turning to Karim, who had joined the group as they had left the Royal Bedchambers, Mahado instructed, “Please escort Pharaoh to the Temple, I will take care of those two.”
As Karim nodded, both Mana and Atemu shouted in unison, “I can help!” Turning toward each other in surprise, they both began to snicker in amusement.
Shaking his head, Mahado responded, “I need you both together and at the Temple.” That way I know where you are, Mahado added silently. Seeing Mana ready to protest he pointed a finger at his student. “No arguments, Mana. You’re still in trouble for setting Seth off earlier.”
Pouting, Mana pleaded, “But I was only trying to help.” Smiling brightly she added, “I made sure he didn‘t get far, didn‘t I?”
Atemu looked up at her curiously “How did you manage that, Mana?”
As Mana leaned down to whisper her answer, Mahado edged over to Karim and muttered in a low undertone, “Just get them to Akunadin. I don’t care how you do it, just don‘t use any magic on Pharaoh.” Glancing at the now giggling pair he added, “Feel free to use magic on Mana however.”
“I will.” Karim assured him.
Heading down the hall he had heard the shout come from, Mahado found Seth’s Blue Eyes sitting on a bench around the corner, head cocked to the side watching him as he approached. Mahado sighed. He had a suspision Seth had decided he needed both hands free so he could strangle the thief and had told the dragon to stay put.
Reaching down, Mahado lifted the dragon up, letting it settle on his shoulder as he looked down the hallway that
intersected the one he stood in. Turning to the Blue Eyes, Mahado asked, “You wouldn’t happen to know where they went, would you?”
The dragon seemed to think about it a moment before stretching its head out under Mahado’s chin to let out a happy warbling sound. Pushing the dragon’s head out of the way so he could turn his own head, Mahado headed down the hall to his left.
Eventually they came to a small room. Leaning in, Mahado heard a noise inside an urn set along the wall. Stepping up to it to look down, he found the Thief King sprawled at the bottom, looking annoyed.
“Hey! Go away.” A hungry grin suddenly flashed across his face. “Unless you’re planning on joining me, priest.” he added in a low, surprisingly sexy voice.
Mahado just started at the thief a moment. A look like that has no place on someone who looks like you do right now, Bakura, he thought.
“What are you doing?” Mahado finally asked, though he really didn’t want to know.
“Oh, I don‘t know, making a beaded collar for Pharaoh?” The Thief shook his head, brown eyes rolling in irritation. “Idiot.” he muttered under his breath as he crossed his arms.
Mahado pinched the bridge of his nose as his head began to pound. Deciding the best thing was just to leave the thief where he was, Mahado tapped the rim of the urn and stated firmly, “Blue- Eyes White Dragon.”
The dragon pulled its head back slightly to look at him curiously before climbing carefully down his arm to perch itself on the rim. Mahado could just see Bakura’s eyes widen in surprise as the dragon stuck its head into the urn for a closer look at the thief.
“You’re not serious, are you?” Bakura asked furiously, his voice echoing slightly in the urn. “There is no way I am staying in here with that thing watching me!”
Mahado turned to the dragon as it popped its head back up at the thief’s outburst. The dragon gave him the same annoyed look the thief had as he ordered the dragon, “Don’t let him out of there, understand?”
“Oh, you have definitely lost it priest.” Bakura said with a snort of amusement. The Blue Eyes shot him a glare then turned back to Mahado, giving the priest a sharp yip in acknowledgement.
At least, Mahado assumed it was a yip of acknowledgement.
“Forget this.” Bakura muttered as he began to gather himself to stand. The Blue Eyes growled, causing Bakura to growl back, “As if you’ll be able to stop me.”
In response the dragon opened it’s mouth and hit the thief with a lightening attack. Mahado heard Bakura drop to the bottom of the urn as he let out a string of curses. Settling back on its haunches, the dragon gave Mahado a satisfied look.
Patting the dragon on the head, Mahado said to the thief, “Are you going to stay put now, Bakura?”
A surly “Yes” was his response.
Quickly exiting the room, ignoring the sounds of Bakura and the dragon muttering at each other behind him, Mahado headed back the way he had come. Figuring Seth had gone down the opposite hall from the one he was now in, Mahado hoped he would not be spending the day trying to track down the crafty High Priest. He was almost tempted to cast a find spell but decided that might be too dangerous. There was no way to tell what would happen to the three transformed men if another spell was added into the mix.
Until he knew what spell had been used on them, he was left having to deal with things the old fashion way.
Realizing he was in the hall the Palace’s magical library was attached to, Mahado had a sinking feeling he knew where Seth had gone. Cautiously approaching the entrance to the library Mahado could just hear the High Priest’s altered voice stumbling over the words to a binding spell.
Ra damn it!
Deciding he had enough, Mahado moved quickly to shout, “Seth!” startling the Priest into silence as he grabbed the spell book off the table. Tossing the book onto another table, Mahado, in one decisive motion, grabbed Seth around the waist with one arm, covered the Priest’s mouth with his free hand, and marched out of the room.
Carrying the trashing Priest back to the room Bakura was in, Mahado stuck his head in to yelled, “Blue Eyes, get him moving!” Not waiting to see how the dragon was going to do that, but able to hear the Blue Eyes was getting the job done by Bakura’s profuse swearing, Mahado knew he was going to have to fix this before the end of the day if he wanted to stay sane. Marching down the hall, he was not surprised to find himself being passed by the Thief King, who was running full out as the dragon herded him along with precisely placed lightening attacks.
Hearing Seth’s muffled giggles at the sight, Mahado found himself rolling his eyes. Maybe it was already too late to save his sanity.
Entering the meeting room, Mahado found Bakura scrambling onto a chair set against the wall, the Blue Eyes landing on the floor in front of it, its tail whipping back and forth as it grumbled at the thief. Bakura turned and started yelling at the dragon while Pharaoh, in the chair next to the thief, watched the scene with a grin on his face as he sat cross-legged on his seat.
Dropping Seto down next to his dragon, Mahado turned to Akunadin, but was surprised by the angry look he found on the elder Priest’s face as he stared at the thief.
“What is he doing here?” Akunadin said with disgust.
Caught off guard by the question, Mahado answered plainly. “I need to keep the three of them together until I know more about this spell.”
“That is not your decision to make. He belongs in the dungeons, not in Pharaoh’s divine company. That is a standing order where he is concerned.” Akunadin stated harshly as he stepped up to Mahado. “And you have no right dropping the High Priest on the floor like that, Mahado!”
Mahado frowned and found himself reigning in a rising temper. “The Pharaoh’s safety is my responsibility.” he managed to say through clenched teeth.
Before he could continue, Akunadin snapped, “Not any longer. Karim!” Surprised, the holder of the Millennium Scales stepped forward as Mana jumped to Mahado’s defense.
“You can’t do this! My teacher…”
“Mana!” Mahado shouted, effectively silencing her.
Giving the startled girl a look, Akunadin said firmly, “With the High Priest and Pharaoh in the condition that they are in, I am now in charge.”
“No, you are not, Lord Akunadin.” Pharaoh said clearly. Slipping out of his chair by rolling over the edge of the seat on his stomach till his feet could reach the floor, Pharaoh stepped over to Akunadin and drew himself up to his full height, which was not very impressive since he now only came up to just above Akunadin’s knees. However, the change had not affected his ability to give a frightening glare since he had been practicing that look ever since he actually was a child as he stated in a low dangerous voice, “Mahado was chosen by the Ring and that cannot be changed, Lord Akunadin. My safety will remain in his care until I say otherwise, am I clear?” He stared at the senior Priest until Akunadin nodded and stepped back, his head bowed.
Pharaoh regarded him a few moments with narrowed eyes before turning his head to look up at Mahado. Atemu’s face was as stern as it could be under the circumstances though Mahado could just make out a glimmer of humor in the crimson eyes as Pharaoh said, “And Lord Akunadin was correct, Mahado. You should not have dropped Seth on his ass like that.”
Bowing his own head, unexpectedly amused by the phrasing of the rebuke, Mahado answered, “Forgive me, my Pharaoh.” Recognizing that he had indeed lost control, Mahado turned to apologize to Seth. He found the High Priest had picked up his Blue Eyes again and was watching the exchange with a self satisfied smirk. The tall blue headdress was gone- Mahado vaguely remembered it went flying when he had grabbed the Priest- and Seth’s brown hair was now sticking up in all directions; combined with the expression on his face he appeared to Mahado as if he was channeling the god of chaos he was named after.
He had no doubt Seth was going to get him back before the day was done.
“My apologies, Seth. My actions were inexcusable, forgive me.”
Seth’s response was a non- committal “Hn.”
Yes, Seth was definitely going to get him later.
Sighing, he shifted his attention back to Atemu, who had crossed his arms and was regarding Akunadin with a questioning look. “Do you have any insight into what has happened to us, Akunadin?”
The old Priest seemed startled by the question but quickly shook his head. “No, my Pharaoh. This is something beyond my experience.”
A cute frown scrunched Pharaoh face a moment before he asked, “Do you have a suggestion as to what we should do?”
“A few, though some research is necessary.” Akunadin regarded Mahado a moment before he continued thoughtfully, “It may simply be a prank spell designed to distract us from an attack from our enemies.” Turning back to Pharaoh, the Akunadin said firmly, “It may be wise for us to strengthen our defenses. Will you allow me to send some of your Priests to secure the kingdom?”
Atemu considered the suggestion. Nodding he said, “Your suggestion is a wise one. You have my permission.” Pharaoh looked up at Mahado as Akunadin began issuing his orders. “Do you have an idea of what might be done, Mahado?”
Mahado felt himself flush slightly. “I would like permission to go to the Magician’s Training Grounds to speak with the Magician of Black Chaos.” He shrugged. “This seems more like a spell he would enjoy casting.”
Atemu snickered. “Yes, it does.” He gave a sharp nod. “You have my permission. We will be safe here under Lord Akunadin’s protection. I assume that is the real reason you brought us here?”
Mahado nodded. “Yes, my Pharaoh.”
“Wait, you’re leaving us with him?” Bakura looked at him in astonishment. “You have lost it!”
Atemu managed to grin in a way that instantly worried Mahado. “Don’t worry Bakura, as long as you are here you are under my protection.”
Mahado could tell from the look on the thief’s face, the grin worried him as well.
Turning, Mahado came to the conclusion that it was best he not know how Atemu was planning to protect the Thief King from Akunadin.
Especially when he saw the matching grin that appeared on Seth’s face.
Heading for the Royal Stables, Mahado momentarily entertained the thought of just grabbing a horse, pointing it in a random direction, and riding as far away as he could.
He instantly tossed that idea. With the way his luck was going he’d probably end up with a possessed horse with an attitude.
Mahado sighed. He could do without that today.
