Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ I Only Have Eyes, For You ❯ Marriage ( Chapter 1 )
The plot is sort of my own, but it is also a lot of stories that I know, mixed together. The prose used in my story is VERY similar to Ella Enchanted, the ending is The Giver-ish, and sort of Romeo and Juliet like, but not a lot. I was "inspired" after another "gathering" we had with the families of my mom's friends. On occasion, they would either come to our house, or go to one of my mom's friend's houses. Sometime around Chinese New Year, we went to one of her friend's house, they have this HUGE-ass house and these COOL things. I'll explain WHY this influences the story in the next chapter.
Cosmobunny: I think I did very well on the Industrial Revolution test!!!
Yamibunny: *no comment*
Cosmobunny: SEE!?
Yamibunny: You did HORRIDLY on the Anne Frank test YESTERDAY.
Cosmobunny: -__-
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, Ella enchanted, The Giver, or Romeo and Juliet. It shall always remain a distant dream… *reaches forward*
Yamibunny: Are you…ok?
Oh, yeah, and this story takes place in Ancient times. Since I don't know a lot of the YGO cast's Egyptian names, I'll just refer to them by their regular names.
~chapter one: Marriage~
Yami threw the stick, his dog swifty ran after it, and brought it back to him. "Good dog!" He threw it again and again; each time the dog went to go retrieve it. Suddenly he heard wings flapping overhead, he looked up and saw a hawk, diving toward his small dog, he scooped it up and brought it close to his body.
Then he felt a burning sensation and looked down at his arm, it had a huge gash in it, and the bird flew away, looking for another victim.
Yami studied him cut and sighed, it was to big to go unnoticed, he would have to get his father's doctor to treat it. His father was pharaoh of all of Egypt, and one day, Yami knew that he would inherit all of the land and become the most powerful being in the world's most powerful empire.
But it came at a cost, his father would not allow him leave the palace walls, for safety reasons. He would sneak out everyday to play with his dog and get away from all the servants that haunt him, constantly. Today, unfortunately, he cut himself, he started heading slowly back to the palace, thinking of a reasonable excuse that would not rat him out.
He hurried to the doctor's chamber, but he was nowhere to be seen. (a/n: I'm going to pretend that "healers" where called doctors back then.)
"Doctor Siamen?" He looked everywhere that the doctor might be. No luck. He decided to go see his father at his court. "Father, have you seen Dr. Siamen?"
The pharaoh waved his arm to indicate that he did not want any more grapes. "He went to gather his family. RA, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?!" he motioned one of his servants to bring Yami up to him, then he examined his son's arm. Not that it would have done any good. "The High Priest will treat it." He paused. "I thought you knew about the rounding of his family, didn't one of my scribes tell you?"
Yami remembered that night. "Well, you see, I wasn't really listening to what the scribe had to say."
His father breathed in deeply. "Young people!" He sighed. "I'll tell you about the document then. As you know, one day you will become pharaoh, and you will need a queen. Since Dr. Kamuza Siamen, and my nobles Sabola Imhotep, and Kosey Benerib are all men of high blood, wealth, great reputation, and have daughters around your age, I have arranged for them to round up their families. Their oldest daughters are unmarried, and one of them will become your future queen. They will come live in the palace until you've made your decision." He then added, "You will choose between one of THEM and no one else."
"Oh."
"Now go get your cut cleaned up."
Yami headed toward the shrine. Thinking about his father's arrangement. Oh, well, he thought. Who my queen is won't really matter, after all, my parents don't love each other, and aside from not being able to leave palace grounds, your father also dictates your life.
"Seth?" (a/n: I think that was Seto's Egyptian name)
Seth bowed and Yami walked forward, "Greetings, prince, what brings you here?"
"The doctor went to go round up his family, so…"
But Seth was already getting the cloth out of his cabinet, "Hold still." He applied stinging liquid to Yami's arm.
Yami gasped in pain. Then as the high priest was wrapping his gash, he asked, "Are you going to marry us, Seth?"
The moment of confusion in Seth's eyes soon passed. "Oh, I think that it would be very likely."
"I wonder what they would be like."
"It wouldn't matter anyways."
