Chapter 45
Yugi whimpered and shrunk back into his friend’s arms. He was scared. He didn’t mean to lie to Bakura and Marik but he didn’t want to tell them at the time. He wanted to tell Ryou and Malik first.
“You fucken lied to my face.” Bakura growled walking forward.
Marik was behind him with his arms crossed across his chest. Ryou quickly stood and walked in front of Bakura who was advancing on Yugi. Ryou pushed his hands against Bakura’s chest and he stopped and looked down at him. Yugi was sobbing in Malik’s arms trying to hide.
“Yugi didn’t tell you because he didn’t want you to know. We knew he was lying from the start. Please don’t be angry Bakura. It’s hard enough for Yugi that Atemu didn’t trust him he doesn’t need to be hurt anymore.”
Bakura looked at the sobbing form of Yugi in Malik’s arms and sighed. Ryou looked at Marik who was staring at Yugi as well. He could see he understood as well. Bakura looked down at Ryou and nodded. He walked over and sat behind Malik and Yugi started to sob even more in fear. Bakura looked at Malik before he wrapped his arms around Yugi and pulled him close. Yugi froze, scared before sobbing in his arms. Ryou and Marik went over and sat next to Yugi.
“I’m sorry I scared you Yugi.” Bakura said after a while.
Yugi sniffed and nodded. “I’m sorry I lied to you. I just don’t trust you as much as Ryou and Malik, it’s just I don’t know you as well.”
“Understandable. When does the Pharaoh die?”
“In about 4 days. So in about a week I’m heading off to go to the tomb that is near Thebes but I don’t know where it is.”
“We’ll come with you. I know where they are building the tomb for the Pharaoh’s. I scout out the tombs that are being made to rob but I won’t rob the Atemu’s when his time comes.”
Yugi smiled and rubbed his eyes to remove any tears that were there. “Thankyou.”
Ryou and Malik smiled and hugged Yugi tightly. “Come, let’s go swimming.” Ryou said and pulled Yugi up and out of the cave with Malik following quickly behind.
Bakura and Marik chuckled before arranging for a couple of groups to go out scavenging.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
It was 4days since Yugi left and Atemu was in the healing chamber with his father. He was now feeling sleepier and was having trouble breathing. Atemu wasn’t sleeping well with having Yugi gone and his father dying. He sat with him now. He was breathing heavily and was looking tired. Atemu was trying not to cry and it wasn’t working well.
“Atemu...why haven’t... I seen...Yugi lately?” He said having to stop to breath in between every second word.
“He flew off for a while. We sort of got into a fight. He left a note telling me when he was coming back and where he went.”
“You need to be...kind and gently with him... He is a highly...traumatised...and emotionally...distraught child... He maybe a...vampire but that...doesn’t mean...he won’t break...if not handled...the right way.”
“I know I feel guilty enough. He won’t be gone long though.”
“Tell him for me...when you see...him again...that he is a...lovely son...in-law. I’m just....sorry I never...got to tell...him that.”
“I’ll let him know father.”
“Thankyou...my son.” Aknamkanon gasped and gripped his chest.
“Father!” Atemu said alarmed. “Isis!”
“It’s...time...for me...to go...my son.”
“Father no!”
“Atemu...you will...be Pharaoh...You will make...a great Pharaoh... Good luck...my son...I love you.”
Aknamkanon soon stopped breathing after that. Atemu just cried, his face buried in his father’s chest. Isis had come over during Aknamkanon’s last words and bowed her head in sorrow as he passed on.
“Prince Atemu we must prepare for his burial.” She said softly putting her hand on his shoulder.
Atemu just shook her off as he cried. Isis sighed internally and left the chambers to tell the rest of the council and Yugi’s family. Atemu just continued to cry out in sorrow. The words of ‘it’s not fair’ were running through his head.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Isis walked into the throne room where the rest of the council was. They turned to her.
“Isis what is the matter?” Seth asked.
“The Pharaoh has passed on. Prince Atemu will not let his body be prepared for burial.”
The council froze as the words passed by them. Their Pharaoh was dead. They would have to have Atemu prepare for the coronation to become the Pharaoh. They also had to announce to the whole of Egypt that Pharaoh Aknamkanon has passed onto the afterlife.
“Give him time Isis he has just lost his father.” Seth said.
Isis nodded. The council went about preparing for the coronation, the message to Egypt and preparation for the burial.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
It had been two days since the Pharaoh had passed on and Yugi was sitting on the top of the cave watching the sun rise. He was wondering if the Pharaoh had passed on and if Atemu was alright. He was starting to feel guilty about running off. He felt bad about not being there to help him with it but he would be after the funeral.
Yugi heard the galloping of hooves coming through the oasis and looked towards the sound. He saw a group of 4 thieves come through the trees.
“Bakura! Marik! Bakura!” They cried.
Yugi then heard cursing as he watched them wait outside the cave and then back up in fear. Yugi saw Bakura and Marik come out. Their clothing crinkled and hair messed up and a pissed off look their faces.
“What?” Bakura growled.
“It’s the Pharaoh, Bakura.”
Yugi jumped down landing next to Bakura and Marik who weren’t surprised but the 4 thieves were and weren’t going to say anything with Yugi there.
“Speak!”
“He has passed onto the afterlife 2 days ago. Prince Atemu is now up for Pharaoh.”
Yugi just froze. The Pharaoh had passed on. He now felt even guiltier. He felt someone push him towards the cave entrance and saw Marik guiding him back in. When they were in Yugi burst out in tears and Marik tried to comfort him. He felt so bad to not be there for Atemu.
Ryou and Malik came over and hugged him trying their best to calm him seeing as Marik wasn’t getting anywhere. Yugi just buried his face in Malik’s shoulder and cried. There was a bit of jealousy coming from Marik and Bakura who had just entered after sending off the thieves, but they ignored it for Yugi was upset.
“I shouldn’t have left him.” Yugi said in Malik’s chest.
“Why?”
“He needs me. I shouldn’t have gone. I feel so bad.” Yugi cried.
“Shh, you’ll see him soon remember. You’re going to see him in a couple of days. You can comfort each other then.”
Yugi nodded and sniffed. “I know.”
“Hey Yugi?”
Yugi looked over to Bakura. “Yeah?”
“Do you think you could get me to Atemu without the guards killing me? I promise I won’t kill him you know that.”
“I can.”
“Good I want to have a nice chat to the soon to be Pharaoh about something. I won’t kill anyone I promise.”
Yugi nodded. “I can get you to him without the guards arresting you.”
“Good.”
~~Ω∞Ω~~
It was coming to the end of the week. Solomon and Yugi’s brothers had been comforting Atemu over the loss of his father’s death. All of his father’s possessions had been sent down by boat to Thebes, all apart from the Millennium Puzzle. That was for Atemu when he was Pharaoh. The Puzzle was kept with one of the other Millennium Item holders, which was Seth, till he was crowned Pharaoh.
It was the day they sailed down to Thebes. Atemu was now waiting down at the docks to get on. The guards were all around him while the boat was coming to a stop in front of them. Once it did a couple of guards walked on first followed by Atemu and the rest of the guards. There was a throne for him to sit on while they sailed. The council was next to board after Yugi’s grandfather and brothers boarded before they sailed down to Thebes. The sarcophagus had already been boarded before the boat collected them. The boat left the dock they sailed towards Thebes.
Atemu sat on the boat wondering when he would see Yugi or if he would even come.
