Aaries: Okay, as you know this story was our crowning achievement;
our greatest Fic yet, until the Fanfiction.net employ got a stick (yes,
just the one) up their collective arses and deleted it, without – naturally,because they’re EVIL – giving us a chance to save the other ones first.
Chaos: and for that we curse them and theirs eternally.... *glowers*
Aaries: too bad we’re still posting here... Oh well, this is going to
be the new, Improved Version. We plan on making it better than it was before and all that other jazz.
Angel: that and we have a Beta, Chronicles Bailey, a.k.a. Chroni.
This chapter and all subsequent chapters are dedicated to her! (Beta’s
note: YAY!)

On with the Story!!!!
**~~~~~**********~~~~~**
Yami lounged comfortably on his throne, waiting for his advisor to
finish rambling on about whatever he was talking about. Yami tried to stifle his yawn, and that seemed to upset the poor little advisor even more, as Yami was known to execute those who bored him too much. He also enjoyed torturing annoying morons when he could get away with it, giving him quite a reputation as a tyrant. In truth he was really very mild about his pleasures compared to his father King Kage Heilorch, but people tended to forget about the sins of former monarchs after only a few short years after they passed when they wanted to. High Prince Yami was fairly certain that future historians would look back and when comparing his reign to his fathers, point out that Yami was the lesser of two evils, but for now: Yami = tyrant.
Yami, for his part, didn’t care what his advisors, or for that matter
anyone else, thought of him. He was the sole Ruler of this blessed country,and as such held absolute power over almost everyone and everything. As was his duty, he had implemented Laws to kill thieves, murderers, assassins, and rapists on the first offense, and any other, milder law breakers on the second offense, resulting in a satisfying yet boring decline in crime. The first offense earned a few weeks in the local dungeons with professional torturers. A few of his advisors had claimed he was far too harsh, so Yami executed them. Monarchy’s a beautiful thing.
The advisor (finally) finished with his report and Yami motioned for the next one in line to step forward as the weasely little man backed hastily away. Yami's interest perked when the next advisor was announced, as this one always had something intresting to say. Shadi had been one of Kage's advisors, and had survived the latter half of the king’s reign and all of the dark prince's reign thus far, making him an interesting enigma. Shadi also seemed to always know exactly what would interest Yami on any given day, continually giving him intriguing, though not always pleasant, news.
As Shadi stepped forward, Yami once again examined the man, noting his immaculate crème robes and the turban he always wore his long black hair trapped in. This advisor took great pains to assure his appearance was acceptable for court, though he never dressed up more than was absolutely necessary, reflecting his practical and well centered nature. That was one of the things Yami liked about the man; he wasn’t another peacock fishing for praise and recognition, and he never had been. He was also honest, unlike many of his peers.
"The price of slaves has gone up by thirty percent in the last
month, High Lord, and many of the nobles are greatly put out because of it. It appears as if the House Mintaren is trying to corner the slave market and no one knows why. The other noble houses are becoming edgy." Shadi stated glibly, and Yami's eyebrow arched almost of its own accord. House Mintarenhad made its fortune by training slaves, and normally they only purchased the highest quality slaves to start off with.
"Does anyone know why they’re cornering the
market?" Yami asked, now fully interested.
"No Sire; and the Mintarens have been more secluded than usual
lately." Shadi said, bowing low.
"I see..." Yami replied; a smirk coming to his lips. This would be the
perfect opportunity to visit the powerful house and make sure that
they were not planning anything dastardly. Yes, it would be fun indeed...

Aaries: Okay.... wasn’t there supposed to be something before this,
an introduction to Yugi or something?
Chaos: Yea, in the last typed version but we lost that when the CPU
crashed a few months ago and it was not in the original written version.
Aaries: ah.... I see... why didn’t we re-do that?
Angel: didn’t see much point in it. We’re going to try to cut back on
how long this is going to be, after all, and adding that would make it
longer and not add much to the plot.
Aaries: so . . . we’re being lazy.
Angel: it’s your fingers; if you really want to type that badly....
Aaries: I think I'll pass, thank you, my hands hurt already.
Jef: please review and let us know what you think! Thanks.
