[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Chroni: Hope you’re ready for this. *Covers ears in anticipation of screaming joygasms*

Aaries: Yaaay!! Here’s the second chapter!!! We really hope you like it!!! But first, a few very important things...Review Replies!!!! ^_____________^


To kenshinfan21: When this was deleted before, it was under the same exact name, Dark Legacy, and it was pretty much the same story. Thank you for the compliment! We’re still a little bit sore that it was deleted in the first place, though the revision is better in our opinion. We haven’t really started college yet, we just graduated high school!!! ^________^


To I Forget: Nice name!!! Aww... *huggles* its ok to be addicted to well written fan fics; I know we are.
May we suggest Small of Two Pieces by ssj sky? That is one of the best fics ever, and if sky gets enough reviews she may post faster. Anyways, here is our update!! ^__^

To Pharaoh Atemu's Angel: Well...they don’t meet yet but we do introduce Yugi to the fic in this chappie.
Here's that update you requested!

To Osiris-Lee: ^____________________^ We love you!!! You get a prize for giving us the most inspiring review yet!!! *gives you a Yami plushie and a Yugi plushie, both dressed in Arabian pants and robes* Yea the first chapter was a little bit short, we didn’t realize it till we posted it and then went
to re-read it to make sure nothing was wrong, but hopefully this chapter is better. Sorry about the OC's, but there’s not much we can do about them. We don’t use that many of the original YGO charries in this fic, but Legacy is going to be a four story Arc, one story for each of our favorite couples and eventually all of the YGO charries we know get used. If you have a good idea for the bad guys let us know, and if they aren’t already taken we’ll use them, k? Thank you soooooo much for finding this again - somehow - and
remembering the original version. *Gives you pixi stix and pop rocks too*


To Yami's Tenshi: ^______^ thankies!! We’re glad you liked the last chapter and hope you enjoy this one too!!


Angel: I really wish we owned Yugioh, but we don’t...*sigh*....

Yami: For which I am eternally grateful!!

Chaos: Why, if we owned Yugioh, you and the other spirits would get a whole lot more air time!

Yami: Which I can live just fine without thank you very much!!!

Jef: Whatever, now get back to your place. *Yami get sucked up by a Plot Hole of Doom (TM)*

Aaries: And Profuse thanks to Chroni for Betaing!! We Love her Lots and Lots!! ^______^

Yugi was awake and ready for his day well before dawn, as were all of the other dance students who knew the routine. Yugi was one in a class of about forty, so he was easily overlooked by both the other dance students and the slave masters. Not that anything would have happened to Yugi anyway, House Mintaren took care of the slaves it trained as a matter of reputation. As the slaves filed to the kitchen for breakfast, Yugi followed behind so he could allow himself a moment of leisure to admire the stars in the
clear pre-dawn sky. Slaves usually spent the day in a very large room practicing so that they would please their potential masters.

"Good morning Yugi." A kind melodic voice said, and Yugi looked over to see Lady Kina, the woman who had brought him to House Mintaren. Yugi couldn’t reply to her because he had no voice of his own, so he bowed
respectfully and smiled at her. "Hurry and eat your morning meal Yugi, you will need your strength today." she said cryptically, before going to another building in the compound.


Yugi watched her for a moment, and then hurried to eat - though he did not understand her message.

Kina watched Yugi follow the others to the kitchen from the shadows of the doorway where she had turned, wondering what fate the gods had in store for him. Kina was a priestess of the god of light and love, Mer, and as such was often given instructions she didn’t understand. That was how it had
been when she first found Yugi, beaten and abused by cruel masters, and taken him in as a dancer. The small boy had the right build for it, and he was beautiful and un-marred despite abusive masters in the past, but Kina didn’t know if that and the training he had received would be enough to help him when she carried out her gods next command.

The morning class had just started when Yugi saw Lady Kina again, much to the small boy’s surprise. Lady Kina usually came for him after noon rest and gave him advanced dance instructions, so for her to arrive shortly after morning classes began was very strange. Yugi had been behind the bigger students when she came in, so he didn’t see her until the slave trainer called out for the slaves to stop their warm ups and for Yugi to come to the front of the large room.

Afraid that he may have done something wrong, Yugi made his way to where the slave trainer waited with Lady Kina. "Come with me Yugi," was all she said before leading him out. The small slave followed hesitantly. Kina led him to a private garden patio on the top of one of the roofs that faced east, looking out over the vast, empty desert. Yugi knew the view well because this was where Lady Kina trained him
in the afternoons, though the desert was now in subdued hues of blue and lavender rather than bright and glaring gold.

"Do you know who I am and what my duties are?" Kina asked, after looking over the desert for a moment.
Yugi shook his head. "I am Kina Ner Mintaren, High Priestess of the god Mer and Seer of my family’s house." She let him absorb that information as she looked up at the stars. "Yugi, do you know why I bought you, why I led you here, to this training complex?" Kina asked after several moments.

Now Yugi shook his head fearfully, terrified that he had somehow done something wrong to offend her.
"Don’t be afraid, you have done nothing wrong," Kina smiled, as if she knew what was in his heart. "I brought you here because my god told me to, and told me to have you trained as a dancer. I am telling you this in hope that you will understand what I must do next." Kina turned to look at him now. "Today his highness, High Lord Prince Yami Heilorch is going to visit House Mintaren and we must present him with a suitable gift in exchange for this honor."


Yugi was confused as to why she was telling him this, until the implacations of the weighty statement sunk in, and he began to tremble. The High Prince was a terrifying figure to Yugi, who had never been around anyone of any such great importance before. Yugi shook his head slightly to clear his mind and looked up to Lady Kina, the first to ever show him kindness, hoping that he had misunderstood. The sad look in her eyes told him that he had not. "Yugi, it would shame our house if we were to offer him any other than our
very best." Kina said quietly, and Yugi wanted to yell at her - Choose someone else! - but the moment passed quickly. The trembling in Yugi's hands increased; and he felt tears well up in his eyes at the thought of leaving the only home he had ever known. As if she sensed his fear and uncertainty, Lady Kina stepped forward and embraced him in a gentle hug, and Yugi let loose his tears and sobbed into the front of her dress.

"Shh.... all will be well little one, I promise. It is a long and harsh road ahead of you, but all will be well in the end." When Yugi began to calm down, Lady Kina stepped away from him so that he could re-gain his
composure. "Come now, He will be here soon and I must prepare you for what lies ahead." Yugi nodded and followed Kina back into the compound.

Yami arrived just as dawn touched the sky, to find the Mintaren complex abuzz with the normal morning routines. It had been two days ago that Yami first heard of the slave problem, and he had received a few
well-worded complaints since then, making him decide to nip this in the bud early. If the nobles were too discontent, they might try something that Yami wouldn’t approve of, and then Yami would have to go through the trouble of exterminating them and finding new petty nobles to take their places and that was simply tedious.

As they approached the front gate, some worthless herald or another announced his presence, and the gates opened to admit the Dark Prince. As soon as his sedan chair (* think the chair on in a litter thingie
from History of the World Part one*) was in the centre of the courtyard, Yami commanded the slaves carrying it to set him down, and stood up.

Yami was out to make an impression today, and so he wore his finest black silk robes. He knew without any kind of a doubt that the traditional robes looked ridiculous on his small slender frame, so the robes he wore was open in the front to reveal his well sculpted chest that was bedecked with many gold chains, inlaid with precious black gems and rubies. He wore loose black pants with a gold belt gold ankle cuffs that held the fluttering, whimsical cloth to his legs, though his sandals seemed sadly out of place, being only common, peasant-style lace-ups, simply dyed black to match his wardrobe. All in all, the stature impaired monarch made an impressive sight, his deeply tanned skin and piercing ruby eyes accented well by the dark cloths he wore, and his gravity and color defying hair gave him an almost unearthly look. (((AN: oooohh... *collectively drools* fanart would SOOOOOOO be appreciated. Chroni: this was MURDER to edit.)))


Stepping forward from inside the sedan, Yami waited for one of the nobles of House Mintaren to approach him with an offer of hospitality. He didn’t have to wait nearly as long as he thought he would for them to organize enough to come to him.

"M-my Lord... W-welcome. Lord Mejiah b-begs that y-you please a-accept our f-feeble Hospitality" one of the lesser nobles of the house said, bowing deeply to him. Yami signaled for him to lead the way, and the man hurriedly led the Dark Prince toward the main compound. Yami smirked and followed this pathetic youth.
