Chapter 8: The Pharaoh And the Amnesiac.

Mitzumi: I know I just post but since I am brain dead on my other ficts, I thought I'd update this one now. actually, the storyline for this one is pre-written-sort of- so all I really need to do is type it up and post it. Also, important! There is a special note from sokras, the co-writer of this story:

And, yes, people, it is as she said. I DID indeed give her permission to make an alternate version of my Egyptian Beginnings. However, I have given up on it since no one seems to give a damn about reading it.

This was in my reviews and you can view it now if you wish. Also, I would like to clear this up: the reason Seth and Yamira call Atemu `Yami' cuz it was his childhood nickname. Yamira doesn't know about Atemu's dark, Yami but Seth does. Anywhoo, ONWARD!!

“she's awake!”

“the girl is awake!”

“I thought she had died!”

“but what is the Pharaoh going to do with her now that she is awake?”

“who knows but if Queen Yamira finds out…”

“shh! Do not speak of such things. By the way, has anyone told the Pharaoh yet?”

“Yami!” Seth whisper shouted to the dozing ruler. Atemu snoozed on, oblivious to his summons. He had stayed up late, his mind fixated on the comatose beauty. He couldn't pinpoint what exactly transfixed him but…it was just something about her.

“Atemu?” Tearrah said softly, gently nudging him. After finding that she could not bare children, Tearrah's rank as Atemu's wife dropped, barely putting her above the palace concubines. But since Atemu loved her, he kept her close nonetheless.

“5 more minutes mommy…,” Atemu murmered in his sleep. Those around him sweatdropped. Well, atleast he wasn't bellowing “execution”…

“Atemu, wake up. It's about the girl.”

Terrifying the other priest and damn near giving Shimon a heart attack, Atemu pounced Seth pinning him to the ground.

“what about her?” he whispered.

“well lord pounce-a-priest, she is awake. And she has no memory whatsoever except for what her name is.” Seth drawled, pushing Atemu off of him.

“than I must go see he-“ a sharp tug on his cape and down he went.

“not now idiot. Yamira is already suspiscious and if she sees you abandoning her duties to see someone other than who she aproves of…well, then egypt is going to need an interim Pharaoh during your stay in the infirmary.” Seth intoned, letting go of Atemu's cape. He saw his cousin's shoulder's droop in disappointment and wondered just how much had this girl affected the diminuitive ruler.

“oh…kay…let me see if I understand. I am in egypt. Pharaoh Atemu is the current ruler. I was found a month ago outside of the kingdom's gates and now I must wait here so that the Pharaoh, upon meeting me, can decide where I must go.”

“very good. You are a fast learner Savira,” the maid chirped happily. She was so glad that the girl was not slow for if she was, it would only be a laborious life waiting for her.

“uhm..i'm missing something, aren't I?” Savira asked, thinking hard. The maid blinked then smiled.

“what about the Queen?”

“oh! That's right! I should avoid Queen Yamira at all costs lest I have a death wish but Queen Tearrah is okay to go to, right?”

“indeed.”

There was a knock at the door.

“come in.”

Atemu entered, checking his back for Yamira and surveying the hall once more for Yamira before walking fully in. the maid stod, motioning to Savira to do the same. The girl did, staring directly at the ruler. They were nearly the same height, her only half an inch taller than he , but it was kinda hard to tell with all that hair.

He looked at her then smiled. She grinned back. Something about this man was putting her at ease.

Little did she know, she was having the same affect on him.

Atemu's POV

I owe Seth a gift later, this girl is beautiful. True, she does not fit in the usual image of beauty- her figure is quite boyish- but her pale hair color and even paler skin makes her stand out. And her eyes, Sapphire on the right and crimson on the left are quite unusual yet exotic at the same time. The servents have her clothed in a simple linen robe yet..it looks better on her somehow.

She bows to me, graceful as a wheat stalk dancing in the wind. The servants have taught her well…I must reward them as well.

“I am honored to make your aquintence, Lord Atemu.”

Her voice is…how can I say it? Powerful. Not overtly so, but hidden as if trying to convey to me that not only she is a lady but one that could probably best me in masculine sport easily. Yamira needs lessons from her…

“rise.”

She straightens and stares at me boldly in the eye. I notice the maid start to fluster. To stare a Pharaoh in the eye is death. I don't know wether this girl is foolish of courageous but now she has caught my attention to say the least.

I take her hand and kiss it.

“the honor is all mine Miss.”

Savira's POV

He's shorter than I thought.

Wait…that's rude. He's very nice though. I don't know what I can compare it to but for some reason I feel like I can relax around him.

I allow him to kiss my hand but I wonder what to do next. That nice lady didn't tell me about this and judging by the way she is becoming anxious, I have gone outside her realm of knowledge. Oh well, I guess I am on my own for now…

“so tell me, what is it that you remember last?” he asks as we sit on the bed. We sit so close, one would think we are friends.

“all that I can recall is my name, which is Savira, and a bit of my schooling. My orgin and why I am here is still an enigma to my mind.”

“I see,” he responds, he face turning into a pondering look. Why does my problem concern him? Does he not have a country to run?

“so what is it you wish to do to me, lord Pharaoh?” I ask quietly.

“seeing as that you have no memories of your past life…I think it is best you remain here.”

“but would not my prescence cause suspision?”

“that it would. Therefore, if anyone asks of you your reason of staying here, tell tham that you are a student from distant lands who has come to study under priest Seth. Do you agree to this?”

“yes. Thank you, Pharaoh.” I said bowing once again. Mentally, I am puzzled. Why is he being so nice to me?

He smiles, rising to leave. He nods at the maid then exits quickly.

Normal POV

“you have a death wish?”

“shut up Seth.”

“I guess I'll be Pharaoh after all.”

“shut up Seth.”

“I always wanted to take your room. It's sooo much nicer than mine. Now, to deal with Yamira….”

“SHUT UP Seth!!”

Seth grinned as Atemu death glared him from where he was slumped on his throne. The palace was closed for the day so Atemu and Seth had some time to themselves before dinner. Mahado sat nearby quietly listening to the cousins argue.

“ I must agree with Seth, my lord-“

“not you too Mahado!” Atemu groaned.

“he has a point. Even under the cover of that she is a student to Seth, yamira would get fairly suspicious. If you did not fill me in on this situation I would be suspicious of this situation as well.”

“so baciacally you're saving I'm a dead man.”

“basically,” Mahado and Seth said in unison.

Atemu cringed.he didn't know what drove him to tell the girl that but he really wanted her near him. Not that he was attracted to her, no he wasn't that stupid, it was just that she was an enigma. A puzzle much like his own that he yearned to solve.

Little did he know, that to solve that puzzle would bring both the love of his life and chaos.

Mitzumi: there are only three more chapters to this fict then the epilouge. This is the first of a trilogy and I have a question to you dear readers, should I post the trilogy out of order or in chronological order and should I also post the yaoi version of this fict -which is shadowxatem-? Think about it and R&R&R!!
