Chapter 7

�� The next
day, Yami woke up feeling warm and for once, managed not to sigh as he looked
at the sun. The warm afterglow of their lovemaking still permeated his being
and it was shining in his mind, as he got ready for his day. Mahaado was
already dressed and waiting for him quietly with wine and fruit and spiced
rolls. Yami smiled as he sat next to his Priest at the table and they broke
their fast together.
�� They were
finished, and Yami was navigating a particularly difficult scroll of spell
theory when the door burst open and a� giant snake at first glance, Yami
decided, burst inside, spitting sparks.
�� It was in
no way a good situation to be in�
�� Just then,
a small boy with messy black hair ran in, following it. �Bad Ka!�
�� Yami
blinked. Who was this? It was certainly not someone he had seen at the palace
before... intriguing� was he a servant? No, his clothes were finer than that�
�� Mokuba!� A
voice said in exasperation. �Where did you run off to?�
�� Mahaado and
Yami narrowed their eyes as one. The High Priest candidate who had failed,
Seto, walked in and scooped up the squirming bundle and exited, the snake
following. It was a severe breach of protocol, but Seto did not care.
�� Yami did
not bother to call him on it, but filed the incident away. There was a long
list in his mind, of Seto-crimes and one day, he would collect�

�� Mahaado,
did you notice something odd about that boy?� Yami asked carefully. Mahaado
nodded silently.
�� That
electric snake was not his Ka.�
�� No, I
didn�t think so. It didn�t fit.�
�� I would
need the Ankh to see his true Ka, however� it seems to be related in some way
to Seto�s favored Blue-Eyes White Dragon...�
�� Ah� that
explains it�� For Seto had no other family, so if he were interested in
anyone, it would be his dragons.
�� Fascinating.
��
�� Well, now
he had a weakness he could possibly exploit. He could look into it later� Yami
sighed as he snuggled closer to Mahaado, ignoring the other Priest�s
scandalized look. Mahaado was such a masterful actor�.
�� Not that
there had been any acting last night in bed, at least he hoped not. They�d both
been inexperienced, but instinct guides well�
�� Mahaado�.
Is this love?
�� It�s odd.
I�m not even sure what love is. I know I love my father, but this is completely
different. It�s a sort of strange wanting, a yearning that can only be
satisfied by you. And I do not mean more play between the sheets, I mean your
presence, your devotion, your entire being, here with me, is more than I can
hope for�
�� I sound
like some besotted woman!
�� It�s odd,
this half-life, of being here and yet � I�m not sure I�d like to live without
you, and that�s frightening.
�� No matter
how powerful these Items may make us, we cannot stop death�
�� Help me,
please, Mahaado. I�m afraid to be without you now, and I wish I knew what was
happening�.
��
�� Mahaado was
not having a much easier time of it. There had always been a vague instinct in
his body that told him to protect Yami � his Prince, but� now it seemed to be
intensified a thousand-fold�
�� It was odd.
Even earlier, it hadn�t been this bad until they had consummated their
relationship. Was that why he now felt as if he could not stray from his
Prince�s side? Not that he would want to, but now there was a pressure, a
slight tug�
�� It was as
if they were joined by soul�
�� Impossible!
There was no magic of that sort that he�d studied, finding the information �
well, when one spoke to the magic itself, it told one things most other people
could not know.
�� It was
nice, having it there to guide him for the past seven years. But the first
three years had been utter hell, and he�d rather not Yami know of them�
�� Fate
doesn�t look kindly on abandoned children�
�� Besides, he
had to protect his Prince, did he not?

�� I love you
more than the stars and the sun and the moon, and perhaps even � no, that would
be blasphemy. I cannot love you over my country. I�m sorry, Mahaado. This
secondhand love you don�t deserve.
�� But my
Prince, I understand only too well� why do you think I choose to be your
guardian, your guide?
�� Mahaado�
�� Shh� we are
as fate made us to be. But we shall spin our own tale within her dictates,
shall we not, my Prince?
�� This is a
love that will harm no one�
��
�� Beautiful,
Yami thought heatedly, beautiful, beautiful Dark Magician of his� he envisioned
Mahaado in the armor of his Ka and smiled wistfully.
�� Beautiful.
�� I do not
mind loving you.
�� I know, my
Prince.
�� Why do you allow
me this love?
�� What harm
could it do? You are strong and valiant and powerful my prince, and Egypt shall
be yours�
�� Mahaado,
why do you trust me so?
�� Tis simply
my nature, my Prince� and I love you. I will never stop loving you�. But are
you prepared for this?
�� I am,
Mahaado� I love you�

�� I love you
too, my Prince. Let me show you.
�� Mahaado!
�� Shh� I will
never, ever hurt you.
�� I know, I
know� I�m not angry�.
��
�� Yami has
been happier lately. I wonder if some young woman has caught his eye? It might
be well for Egypt were she a noble�s daughter.�
�� Akunumkanon
coughed and took another sip of his tea, cursing his lack of strength, wishing
he understood why he was ill. Was this a divine punishment?� �I have noticed his slight inattention as
well. I wonder who the lucky woman is.�
�� He is of
marriageable age� my Pharaoh.�
�� Yes, I
understand, Shimon.�
�� The vizier
nodded as he coughed behind his veil. �Shall I make some inquiries?�
�� Please do.
It will put our mind at ease��

*Slaps forehead* that�s the problem with writing with long
pauses in between. You forget what happened earlier. I had to rewrite this
chapter because I forgot I already killed off Akunadin. *Sweatdrop*
