Chapter 46
Yugi sat on the back a horse at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. He was next to Ryou with Marik, Bakura and Malik beside Ryou. They were watching from a sand dune as the boat that Atemu was on docked at the village of Thebes. They started their way down the back of the sand dune out of sight of the group making their way from Thebes to the Tomb where the Pharaoh would be placed for his eternal rest. The group didn’t notice 5 figures on horseback make their way behind them as they headed to the Tomb.
Atemu was in tears as he walked towards the Tomb. There were professional female mourners in pale sky blue clothing. They were crying, scream, beating their chest, the ground, pulling at their hair and throwing dirt over themselves. Though it didn’t surprise Atemu it did surprise Yugi’s brothers. Once they made it to the entrance to the Tomb the guards drew their swords and stood between Atemu and who was coming. There were 5 figures coming forth on horseback.
Once they were close enough they all jumped down and Malik and Ryou walked on either side of Yugi. Marik walked behind the group and Bakura in front. They walked over towards the group. The guards had already drawn their swords and were making their way to surround the group.
“Release the Prince.” The Head Guard said.
“No you all back off. They are here to talk, not to kill anyone.” Yugi said and was actually crying now.
“Yugi?” Atemu said walking closer till a guard stopped him.
“No my Prince you can’t. They will kill you.” Meaning Bakura and Marik who were both standing there with smirks on their faces and arms crossed.
“No he’s not. All of you stand down and get back behind me. That’s an order.” The council was to say shocked at what Atemu was doing. “Hello Bakura. I’m surprised you would risk coming to even try to talk to me.”
Bakura smirked and walked forward, uncrossing his arms. “Yes well, I have a present for you.”
Atemu raised an eyebrow but before he could do anything Bakura drew back his arms and punched him right in the face. Atemu cried out and fell to the ground. Solomon and Seth quickly walked over and knelt beside him. The guards surrounded the group again. Atemu shooed them off and stood up, rubbing his cheek. He could see the shocked look on everyone’s face apart from Bakura and Marik. Yugi was especially surprised.
“Bakura what are you doing?” Yugi cried out but he said nothing.
“I didn’t tell you to do anything.” Atemu said. “Let them be.” The guards hesitated but moved back behind him.
“You are a prick!” Bakura growled at him and stalked up to him before grabbing the front of his tunic and raised him off the ground. “You have told Yugi heaps of times he can drink from you, even if you’d been asleep but then one day he decides to and you get angry with him. You know he wouldn’t do anything to harm you but you still don’t trust him one bit do you. You need to be careful about what you saw and think before you say it. I already learnt that and I nearly lost the one I love. Don’t you dare make the same mistake because otherwise you mightn’t be as lucky.”
Bakura put him down to his feet and Atemu stood there for a minute before bowing his head. “You are right. I won’t make that mistake again Bakura.”
“You bet you won’t because if I find out you did you won’t just get a punch in the face. I will beat you.”
Atemu chuckled before looking towards Yugi and walked forward a bit towards him. He watched as Yugi took a step back. Atemu was standing next to Bakura when he stopped. Bakura could see the guard ready to act in case something happened. Atemu sighed and placed his hand on Bakura’s shoulder.
“If he doesn’t want to come back will you 4 look after till he is ready to?”
“Yes.” Bakura nodded before putting his hand on his shoulder and smirking as the guards took a step forward and he leaned down to Atemu’s ear. “But maybe you should try to apologise first.”
He stood up right and Atemu nodded and removed his hand and so did Bakura before he crossed his arms. Atemu looked to Yugi again.
“Yugi I’m sorry about that night. You scared me because of what happened the day before. Please forgive me?”
Yugi looked up at him and Atemu saw tears running down his face. Atemu looked sadly at him. Yugi pounced and latched onto Atemu and knocking them both to the ground. Atemu let out a surprise cry as he fell before shaking his head and looked at Yugi. He had his head buried in his chest and was sobbing. Atemu wrapped his arms around him and tried to sooth him. He saw Bakura take a step back before holding out his hand to him. Atemu removed one of his arms from Yugi and took hold of the hand and Bakura pulled him to his feet with Yugi in his chest.
Bakura turned and walked over to Marik, Malik and Ryou who were watching. Ryou and Malik had smiles on their faces. Bakura wrapped his arms around the two before looking back.
“I guess we’ll see you another time then?”
“I don’t doubt that Bakura. Thankyou for looking after Yugi.”
“Well if his husband won’t then who will?”
Atemu growled angrily at him while Ryou and Malik removed themselves from Bakura and hit him on the back of the head. Marik burst out laughing while the guards stood shocked that someone would hit the Thief King.
“Hey!”
“That’s not nice.”
Ryou and Malik walked over to Yugi and tapped him on the shoulder. Yugi looked around and saw Ryou and Malik and they hugged him tightly. Yugi smiled and hugged them back as well.
“Ryou, Malik time to go.” Bakura said.
Bakura and Marik were already on their horses. The one Yugi had used was already gone back to the oasis. Yugi quickly ran over to the two of them and jumped up onto Malik’s was standing in front of theirs.
“Thankyou for everything.”
“It’s fine Yugi.” Marik said.
Yugi smiled and hugged them both briefly before jumping back off Malik’s horse and back over to Atemu. Atemu wrapped his arms around him tightly before looking to Bakura, Marik, Malik and Ryou.
“We have nothing against you Atemu. Even though we did against your father for what he did to my village to create those Items I have nothing against you, seeing we got to know you.”
“What do you mean to create the Items?”
“That is for another time. I will come and tell you when you are ready to hear.”
Bakura and Marik turned and headed out of the Valley of the Kings, Ryou and Malik following behind.
“Bye Yugi, Atemu.” Ryou and Malik called as they rode away.
“Bye.” Both said.
“My Prince you wish for us to go after them.”
“No. Not for today.”
“But my Prince he attacked you.”
“For good reason. I am letting it go for the day. Leave them be.”
The guards nodded and went back into formation. Atemu moved back to the group with Yugi in his arms.
“I’m sorry Atemu.”
“Why? What for?”
“I shouldn’t have left. I should’ve stayed to comfort you through everything. I’m sorry.”
“No I was in the wrong Yugi. I should be sorry. You don’t know who guilty I felt after you left... Um...my father has...something he wished...for me to tell you.” Atemu said as he stopped to control himself.
“You can tell me later if you want.”
Atemu shook his head. “He said... you’re a lovely son...in-law... He’s just sorry...he never got to...to tell you.” Atemu said as he buried his face in Yugi’s hair as tears came from his face.
“Oh Atemu, shh, it’s alright. Come on; let’s go on with the funeral.”
Atemu nodded and they proceeded on with the funeral with the mourners continued with the crying, wailing, etc. Yugi frowned and tugged on Atemu’s arm before pointed at the women.
“They are professional mourners. Do me a favour. Don’t hire any for my funeral. I don’t want it.” Yugi nodded and held him gently as they entered the tomb.
It was dark but there were some torches being held by priests and guards. Yugi just acted as a guide for Atemu as he could see the best in the dark just like it was daylight. Yugi noticed all the hieroglyphics on the wall.
“Atemu what on the walls?”
“It’s the story of my father’s life.”
“Oh.”
“I will have one in my Pyramid once it’s built. I plan on having you in there with me in the same chamber. But only once you die.”
Yugi smiled and kissed his cheek still keeping his arms around his waist. As they started heading down Atemu nearly slipped on something had it not been for Yugi holding him. Yugi smiled and continued to hold him gently. After another 5mins of walking down they came to a large chamber filled with gold and personal affects. Yugi followed Atemu to the back corner of the chamber where more hieroglyphics were.
“Atemu shouldn’t you be up the front of everyone one.”
“I...I don’t want to be.”
“I’ll be there with you. Your father would want you to be there.” Yugi said as he started to walk in between the council to the front.
Atemu didn’t say anything and just let Yugi guide him through. They were standing up the front next with Seth next to Yugi and Solomon next to Atemu. Solomon wrapped his arm around Atemu’s shoulder to comfort him. The priests started chanting as the sarcophagus was placed in the middle of the room. Atemu’s shoulders shook as tears spilled from his eyes and soft sobs forced their way from his throat. Yugi held him tightly around the waist.
As the chanting got louder so did the female mourners. The beating and throwing of the dirt continued. Atemu’s sobs got worse before the chanting stopped and the mourners quietened down slightly but didn’t stop. Yugi had a few tears running down his face as he started to hold Atemu up.
The priests started leaving and the council started up to the sarcophagus and prayed before leaving. Solomon went up and then walked out with Yugi’s brothers, the mourners were next before Yugi and Atemu were left. Yugi walked forward after he was sure Atemu wouldn’t fall and towards the sarcophagus. Yugi spoke softly, saying a small pray and apologising for not being there in his last days. Yugi walked back towards Atemu and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Do you want me to wait outside the chamber?” Atemu nodded. “Ok. I’ll wait there before we leave.”
Yugi leaned up and kissed his cheek softly before walking out of the chamber and waited in the darkness. Atemu walked forward towards the sarcophagus. He ran his hand lightly over the surface as tears fell even more. He didn’t know how long he stood there before he numbly walked back to the entrance to the chamber. He walked out and felt someone hold his hand. He looked down and could just see Yugi.
“Atemu hold my shoulder.”
Atemu just numbly did as he was told and held Yugi’s shoulder. Yugi’s hands came out in front and a pale blue ball of energy came from between his hands giving light around them. Atemu recognised it but didn’t say anything. Yugi slowly started moving forward hoping Atemu would understand and follow, which he did. Yugi led him back out of the Tomb and to the surface. Once seeing the light at the end Yugi slowly let the ball disappear before going out completely. Once they were out a couple of slave workers came up with a lard stone and dragged it into the Tomb and down to the entrance to the chamber before sealing it and came out and another was put over the front of entrance to the Tomb.
The group turn to leave and Yugi walked along beside Atemu trying his best to comfort him. Yugi sighed and looked around the valley again and saw up on one of the high hills there was 4 figures on horseback. Yugi recognised the hair and waved. The waving caught Atemu’s attention and he looked to where Yugi was waving and saw the four lovers watching.
They noticed that 2 of the riders looked behind them before telling something to the other 2. Suddenly 2 of the riders took off on their horses and came down towards them. The guards had seen them and took a defensive stance in front of the group. The horses stopped a distance from the group and they saw it was Ryou and Malik the guards stood down.
“Yugi, Atemu you need to get out of here and back to the boats. Bakura and Marik noticed raiders coming. Atemu get on with me. We’ll take you to the boat. Solomon on with Ryou.”
