Chapter 7: rise and shine sleeping beauty!!

Mitzumi: I'm not dead!! Wooot!! Sorry for the delay, I had been writer's blocked and not able to get to my computer due to cold -both the virus and the weather. I mean really, is Georgia USA supposed to get this cold?! Jeez! But the only thing I got out of it is that absence truly does make the heart grow fonder. While I was away I had been using the school computer to check out other fanficts and I must say guys I am impressed! But enough of my rambling, onward with the fict!

the guards brought the beautiful girl in, unbeknownst to Atemu who had his own issues. The knew not to bother their god-King at such trying times so they only told priest Seth and begged him to allow her to stay.

“I am not sure about this. Atemu is the one who is to approve who stays in here, after all, it is his home,” Seth drawled, boredly watching the guards beg at his feet.

“but lord priest, she is a beauty and maybe when she wakes up, she could be a slave to the Pharaoh.”

“and allow him to incur the wrath of Lady Yamira? Are you attempting to send him to his death?” Seth asked with a bemused eyebrow raised.

“NO! I mean, no, lord priest,” the guard fumbled.

“maybe you might keep her for yourself lord priest. At worst, you could always use her as a pleasure slave.” His comrade smoothly intervened. Seth's eyebrow was in danger of disappearing into his hairline. Who was this guard? Usually, the men for the job had little education, especially at this level. All they were trained to do was fight and follow orders.

“the way you two are pleding leaves me to believe that she is one with beauty that rivals the goddess Isis. “Seth stated.

“that she does. Do you wish to see her?”

Seth sighed. “I as well should. But if you have wasted my time, it is as the Pharaoh says- execution.” Seth chucked as he strolled past the the still kneeling guards. They paled.

Seth's POV

I walked into the room, not exactly sure as top what to expect. Not that I really cared to see this girl. I prefer men so what point is her beauty to me? But still, Atemu's birthday is coming and I have to find something for it…

And there she laid on the bed. The guards did not lie. She was pale, skin that was like that of alabaster which was almost as pale as her silver hair. Strange to see such a color on such an obviously young woman. He features somewhat reminded me of Atemu's: the same high cheekbones and small mouth.

She was garbed in a simple linen gown but from what I could see, she had a boyish frame: almost no breasts and narrow hips. A peek into her gown confirmerd her gender.

I was going to turn to to tell the guards to take her to the servents quarters and tell them to tend to her, a peculiar aura spiked suddenly.

I turned back and came to the realization that the girl was producing this aura. Amazing! It rivaled and possibly surpassed that of the God creatures themselves. Who or what was this girl?

Having made my decision, I left to tell the guards.

Normal Pov

“What in the name of Ra is going on Seth?”

“shh, dearest cousin, all will be revealed soon. Just think of it as an early birthday gift.”

Atemu scowled. “ this better not be another stripper…”

“oh nooo, that”s next year's gift,” Seth grinned.

“well, gee, let's see if I can find container for my joy.”

“believe me, Atemu, you'll like her and-“

“her?! You gave me a woman?! Are you plotting my DEATH??” Atemu near shrieked before Seth slapped a hand over his mouth.

“shh!! No! This girl, was found outside the gates of the kingdom. The guards brought her in.” her hissed before yanking his hand away before Atemu bit it.

“then why are you showing her to me?”

“two reasons: 1, she is beautiful and 2, she is in a coma.”

Now, when Seth had said that the girl was beautiul, his mouth was all set to tell him to take her to the servant's quarters but the statement that she was in a coma stopped him. No matter how tough he pretended to be, he could never be cruel to those who are weak or defenseless. So with that, Atemu agreed to see the girl.

Atemu's POV

I could feel my face redden as I gazed at her. Her paleness seemed to bring out her beauty even more. A goddess nearly. How could someone so mysterious, innocent, and powerful all at once stay so… I can't think of any words to sum her up.

I couldn't help but reach out a hand to brush against her face when Seth cleared his throat behind me. Startled, I pulled my hand back to my side.

“Atemu, what are you doing?”

“Nothing,” I reply.

Did he suspect? No, he was looking down the hallway. As always, I must keep a gurd or my own guard up while Yamira lurks. Especially with an unapproved female is in my vicinity.

Normal POV

“-? Hey, Atemu, get outta there!”

“Huh?”

“Yamira's coming!”

Atemu walked out of the room and closed the door with a quickness. He could hear Seth suck his breath in through his teeth. Atemu had a feeling that he was in deep trouble. When he turned around, Yamira was standing right behind.

“Aaahh! Yamira!”

“What's in the room?”

“Room? …Oh, this room! Ahem, there's nothing of interest within this room.”

“Oh? Then let me go in.”

She moved to push the door open, but Atemu stepped in the way.

“Yami, move.”

“Move where?”

“Why are you stopping me from going in there? Are you hiding something?”

“Hiding? What could I be hiding?”

“…You're sweating…”

“Oh, am I? Well, I just got back from a battle against Bakura and uh…um…”

“… … …”

Seth jumped in to help him out.

“It's as he says, Queen Yamira. He was merely in this room resting.”

“But why this room? He could have done the same in our room.”

“Uh, well, I didn't want to disturb you.”

“Hmph. All right. I'll believe you…this time.”

Yamira walked off. Everything going cold as she left. After she was gone, both Seth and Atemu let out shuddering breaths.

“Geez, is it me or is your sister getting scarier?”

“She's scarier.”

“Whew. Well, I'm glad I'm not married to her.”

“You're not exactly helping Seth.”

“Sorry.”

After that day, Atemu and Seth took turns looking after the girl. Few of the guards knew about her. They trusted them to keep her a secret from Yamira. If they failed, it'd literally be off with their heads. Still, it didn't stop neither one of them from worrying.

Yamira still held her suspicions about him. She questioned him every now and then. But he always found a way to bypass them. Even if it'd mean a violent treatment for him those nights. Unknown to him though, she had ways of finding out what was going on. Using her many…techniques, she was able to worm out

information on the girl. Unfortunately, they all said the same thing.

“This is girl is horribly ill, and we must keep an eye on her until she wakes.”

Frustrated, she'd steam for a couple of hours. Atemu and Seth were sure to avoid her. As for those who failed to…they were knocked into next week.

One day, she got an idea. Since Atemu and the other guards were so protective of her, why don't she get rid of her? Yamira made a bargain with the local Poison Master-incognito of course- for some rattlesnake blood. Later, when the guards were switching, she snuck in and slipped the poison into the girl's system with a tainted knife.

Now, normally, a person would die a painful, feavered death. Since this girl wasn't normal, it had the opposite effect.

She awoke.

Her eyes opened just as Yamira left the room. The gash where Yamira stabbed her healing up at a supernatural pace. Her pupils flashed crimson from the snake blood, before settiling back into its usual red and blue hues for the right and left eye, respectively. The venom racing through her veins, revitalizing her, the first thing she did was look around.

At the same time, a sense of anxiety aroused within her. An internal clock ticking in her head. Counting down to something…

something…

something she didn't know of.

A hidden danger, or perhaps, a hidden destiny?

Mitzumi: chappy 7 peoples!! Okay, much props to sokras. The end part of this chappy- from Atemu's POV and down- I had shamelessly cut, pasted and edited from the original EB. Before I posted this I DID ask permission, so DO NOT REPORT ME!!

Atemu: interestingly enough, Seth was not gay in the original. He liked Savira as well.

Seth: and there was a battle between Savira and Bakura. By the way, what happened to that?

Mitzumi: multiple sweatdrops er…hey look! There goes Yamira!!

Seth and Atemu: where?!

Mitzumi: sneaking away while they are distracted hehehehe…R&R&R!!
