A/N: Wow, I�m on chapter 9 already and I�ve only been
working on this for a short amount of time!
Please review people! I�m going
to torment you with this chapter, promise and so you�ll have to review if you want
to read more! (Offers up popcorn to everyone who doesn�t like
marshmallows) Yeah, last chapter was a
little fast paced, but I kinda meant it to be like that, because stuff is
happening now�things are being set into motion�

Duel of Love

Chapter 9: Enemy

Unknown

I knew his weakness
now; I knew how I could permanently damage the Pharaoh. And all I had to do was target Priestess
Katiana�

Katiana

It had rained
last night but already it looked like it had never happened, the Egyptian heat
scorching across the city already and drying everything up. The Pharaoh wasn�t at the palace today; he
was instead overseeing the construction of a pyramid, which would later become
his tomb for when he passed on to the underworld. The construction of the pyramid had actually
begun at his birth, even a little before if what I had heard was correct. And after the Pharaoh died he�d be preserved
for eternity there. It was sad really,
the fact that he was building this pyramid as his tomb. I guess that was something every Pharaoh had
to go through, planning their death as they still lived. My leg was hurting a little so I was
basically just stayed in my room today.
�Miss Katiana,
there�s a woman here to see you, she was inquiring about you very loudly in the
main entryway�� a female servant said, peeking her head in.
�Oh, s�send her
in,� I said, not exactly knowing who it was, but when the servant mentioned
that the woman was speaking loudly, I had a little suspicion as to who it was.
�As you wish,�
she replied and I was greeted by the door forcing its way open and a woman
coming up to hug me tightly.
�It�s so good to
see you Katiana!� a familiar voice explained.
�M�Madera?�
I asked in surprise and she pulled away from me laughing.
�You bet it is,� she said, �I hope you�re
ready for my surprise�� As soon as she
trailed off she reached inside her pack and pulled out a clay bowl, fully fired
and sturdy.
�Is that the one
t�that I made?� I asked and she nodded.
�It came out great
from the fire and well�to be honest I kinda lost track of time so I didn�t fire
it until recently�� she said, �And then in a lot of ways I kinda didn�t exactly
want to deliver it to you when you were with the Pharaoh, but since I heard
that he was away today I thought it�d be okay��
�It w�would be
okay anytime,� I said, looking down at the floor, �He isn�t allowed to s�see
me��
�What do you mean
hon?� she asked, sitting down on the bed and placing the clay bowl beside her,
�What happened?�
�He� well, the rumor you t�told me was
partially r�right,� I said, �He tried to r�rape me but it didn�t work�and then
after that� he s�saved me from some crumbling r�ruins��
�He tried to rape
you? Oh you poor dear,� she said, �And
then he saved you? He sounds like a
contradiction Katiana. And your
leg! Did you get that hurt as he was
trying to save you? Actually, from the
entire hubbub I�ve been hearing about him lately, he�s taken quite an interest
in you, servants do talk and word gets around��
�W�What have you
heard?� I asked cautiously, �Is it bad?�
�Nothing bad,�
she said, �In fact from what I heard he�s in love with you!�
�� I think my
face said enough of the embarrassment I was feeling as soon as she said that, I
think I turned a deep red as the blood rushed to my face.
�Do you like him
too?� she asked, looking at me and she was smiling broadly at my embarrassed
face. Come to think of it, she was
really the closest thing I guess I had to a best friend. At the temple no one wanted to be my friend
and I couldn�t really confide in Seto.
�C�Can you keep a
secret?� I asked and she laughed at me and I blushed deeper than before.
�I�m sorry,� she
said after a moment, �But this means� is there something going on between you
two or is it still just a crush or something like that? Don�t worry, I won�t be telling anyone��
�It�s not l�like
that!� I exclaimed.
�Sure it is, you
like him, don�t you?� she asked, �Why don�t you tell him, I mean it�s quite
apparent from all I�ve been hearing he really loves you��
�He can�t, I�m
j�just a priestess�� I said, �He has to m�marry nobility��
�You�d be
surprised at what he could do. He could
marry you if you chose too,� she said with a grin, �But why talk about marriage
already? I still just want to know what
you think of him��
�Will you k�keep
it a secret?� I asked.
�Sure hon, I
promise�� she said, �Tell, please tell!�
�Alright� I think
I l�like him�� I muttered under my breath which sent Madera
into a fit of laughter.
�Katiana, that�s
wonderful!� she exclaimed, �And he likes you� so tell him how you feel!�
�NO!� I exclaimed
shocked at what she had just suggested.
�Alright,
alright,� she said and then hugged me, �And here I thought your first crush
would be suck a long ways a way!�
�� I didn�t
exactly know what to say to that.
�I wish I could
stay longer but I have to make a few deliveries before midday so I�ll see you later Katiana, alright?� she said
and stood up and took the bowl, placing it in my lap, �I�m still happy you
discovered what a crush is, does it feel nice?�
I didn�t know if she was teasing me or not but I didn�t need to know
what she meant.
�I guess so�� I
said softly.
�See you later!�
she said and exited the room. I held
onto the bowl in my lap, running my hands over the edges slowly.
�I think Madera,
t�that this could be love,� I whispered to myself, �But is it? How d�do I know it is?�

Yami

I returned back
from working earlier than I expected, and I was a little tired.
�My Pharaoh how
was the construction?� a voice asked and I was greeted by none other than High
Priest Seto.
�It was good, I
am a little exhausted though,� I replied, �Is something the matter?�
�I just finished
talking with Katiana. Apparently Madera
paid her a visit today to drop off a bowl she had made. I don�t know why Katiana�s so proud of it, it
is just a bowl�� he said with a sigh. I
carefully neglected to mention it was probably the bowl she made when we went
out that day.
�Anything else?�
I asked, trying to stifle a half yawn.
�No, not at the
moment�� he said, �I should be heading back to the temple��
�Then I shall see
you later,� I replied and he bowed and strode past me. I sighed, I felt like seeing Miss Katiana
right now� I was a little scared though, after what had transpired
yesterday� She had kissed me, not one on
the lips but on the hair, and just that had sent my emotions into chaos. What if she cared about me back? I knew she was only a Priestess probably
wasn�t a princess of any kind or even nobility but I loved her, and I didn�t
know why I loved her all the time. I
just did, and I wanted to tell her, I really did, but I was afraid of how she
would react, and to that matter, how High Priest Seto would react. I didn�t want anyone else though, I wanted
only her�

Katiana

I stood on the
balcony, looking over the city, a light breeze blew past me and I enjoyed
it. I came out here every so often to
watch the sunset; it still amazed me every time I saw it and I enjoyed watching
it. Seto had once again come to visit
me, taking little interest though in the bowl I had made. He never did understand why I took pride in
things such as making a bowl. I didn�t
mention that it was the day that the Pharaoh had gone with me into town,
because he�d probably get mad at me or go to the Pharaoh and do something he
shouldn�t. I sighed, what were these
emotions that kept running through me? I
couldn�t put my finger on what they really were, but after talking with Madera,
I thought it could be love, it really could be.
�Miss Katiana,
what are you doing out here?� a voice asked and I turned around slowly and
found myself staring up at the Pharaoh!
�W�Watching the
sunset,� I said, lowering my head slightly.
I hoped he couldn�t read minds, because what was running through my head
definitely wasn�t proper! Things had
happened yesterday, and now I felt like my life moved in double-time, trying to
sort out what had happened and to deal with what I did.
�It�s beautiful,
isn�t it?� he asked, coming out onto the balcony with me and looking out over
the city as well, �I find it peaceful right here sometimes��
�Yeah,� I agreed
and continued to look out at the city, trying to ignore his overwhelming
presence.
�Listen, about
yesterday,� he said, �I didn�t think I thanked you properly for giving me the
stone��
�It w�was
nothing!� I exclaimed, wondering why he was thanking me, I mean at first he
said he didn�t want it or need it and then he broke down crying.
�No, it wasn�t,
and I just didn�t see that�� he said, �Thank you.�
�Okay,� I said,
finally deciding to turn his way, �You are w�welcome��
�You really are
something Miss Katiana,� he said, �Truly unique��
�I�m sorry!� I
exclaimed and he looked over to meet my gaze, a puzzled expression upon his
face.
�I meant that in
a good way Miss Katiana,� he said, �You are lucky.�
�No I�m n�not!� I
said, turning slightly red, �I�m not lucky at all!�
�Yes you are, and
beautiful, smart, witty�� he listed off and I lowered my head down towards the
floor.
�� I didn�t know
what to say about his compliments, �But everyone�s always t�told me that I�m
plain��
�You�re not like
that at all,� he said, �Anyone who calls you plain is a fool.�
�� I really
didn�t know where this line of conversation was going, and I didn�t know to
respond to it.
�Yesterday, as
you were holding me Miss Katiana, I seem to remember you placing a kiss on my
hair�� he said, trailing off a little.
�W�What! I d�didn�t� I m�means�I�m�B�but�� I said
quickly, trying to cover some part of my blush as I did so, I was so
embarrassed and he wasn�t going to just let it drop, was he?
�Miss Katiana, I
never said anything bad about it,� he said, �And I don�t see what there was to
be ashamed about�I didn�t mind.
Actually, at that moment, that little kiss was exactly what I
needed.� He gently pulled my arms down
from where I was trying to hide my face, holding my hands and I had to turn and
face him.
�I�well�I�� I
stammered and he smiled at me as I raised my head a little to see his
expression. His eyes shone with
something, something I had seen before, I had seen it the morning after he had
tried to rape me and apologized, his eyes shone with the same loneliness and
lust and desire�
�Miss Katiana,�
he murmured, looking into my eyes, searching for something. I didn�t know what he was searching for but
he seemed to find it because he smiled at me, a genuine smile.
�My P�Pharaoh,� I
stammered again, wanting to pull away but my hands weren�t moving. I didn�t really want to leave, in a lot of
ways, I wanted to know what he wanted from me, and I had to know. Did he really love me or was I just imagining
this whole thing.
�You are like a
princess you know�� he whispered, �A wonderful princess, one who is polite and
beautiful in every aspect��
�No I�m n�not!� I
protested and he laughed.
�You are, I guess
I�ll have to start calling you my princess now�� he said, smiling.
�Please don�t,� I
said, the blush I knew on my face turning an even deeper shade of red. He was really�different right now, not in a
bad way, but in a way, like he was going to admit his feelings for me or he was
trying to seduce me� The Pharaoh raised
his hand and brushed it gently against my cheek. I found myself leaning into his touch, his
hand was really warm. He took a step
closer to me, his hand still holding my cheek and his hand still holding my
cheek. He leaned closer to me, leaned
forwards as if he was going to kiss me.
Was he going to kiss me? My hands
felt sweaty, my breath quickened slightly.
Would I resist if he did kiss me?
Should I resist? How would I
respond if he did? Ra, what should I do?
His lips edged closer to me and all that ran through my head was, what should I do?
Should I say something? Should
I�what should I do? His lips came
forward and I closed my eyes, and then felt him press his lips to my forehead
and I took an unconscious step forward.
He pulled away, dropping his hand and he regarded me for a minute as I
opened my eyes to meet his gaze. His
eyes, I was unable to see what was in them now.
He walked away from me, leaving me shocked and stunned, his cape flowing
out behind him. What had just happened,
why? Why?

Yami

So she liked me,
maybe even loved me. She didn�t have to
say anything, the way she had responded had been enough for me. It took most of my courage to do that, to get
that close to her and hold her. She
could have pulled away at any time, I would have had to let her, and I didn�t
want her to think I would hurt her again.
I couldn�t� bear it if I hurt her again.
She could have pulled away, and yet she didn�t. She let me hold her and then let me gently
touch her cheek and even kiss her forehead.
Is this what love was? Is this
what it really felt like?

Unknown

And she loves him
back, this makes things interesting�now to set my plans into motion, dear
Pharaoh you�ll pay for all that you�ve done!

TBC

A/N: So, what do you
think? Did I introduce the new bad guy
alright? Trust me, he is evil and such,
but actually he�s taking a break next chapter because I feel like it. Next chapter, I want people to seriously heed
the warnings I�ll give at the beginning of the chapter, so DON�T go reading the
next chapter without reading the warnings, I have to be sure with this, because
the next chapter�well I won�t spoil it further than what I�ve already done.
Let me know what you
think in a review! I can�t wait to hear
from all of you�I hope I perked your interest about the next chapter!
