Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ I Only Have Eyes, For You ❯ The First One ( Chapter 2 )

Thanks for the reviews!!! OMG!!! SORRY this took SOOOO friggin long!!! My mom caught me on the Internet and since we have dial-up, she calls me a lot. This chapter mainly tells about the "bride". The names used should cause offense to absolutely nobody; they are just a bunch of Egyptian names I found on the internet.

Remember that Yami is not pharaoh yet! And…*giggles* I'm just going to pretend that Yami's last name is Yuugi. *Rolls on floor laughing* I don't know ANYTHING!!! And I'll just say that the men in THIS story only have one wife, back then, they had…a lot.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh

~Chapter 2: The First One~

Yami was awoken much earlier than usual the next day. He yawned and glanced at his oldest servant, "Halima, why the rush? The sky is still dark!"

She smiled and said, "Your father sent us to clean you up, remember? We are picking your brides up to take to the palace today."

"I thought they were coming on their own."

"Well, the pharaoh said that the long ride there and back again would allow you to get to know them a little better, now come, get off of the bed." She held out her arm.

Yami stared at it.

"Oh, come on, I've known you ever since you where a tiny bundle and you were never the one to be tired. Where's your squirrelliness?" She took him by his elbow and dragged him to the bathing room. "I'll be back soon!" she headed toward his father's court.

A couple of servants were there to bathe him. As soon as he was in the tub, they started to scrub him with fragrant oils and one brought Yami, his clothes, when they were done.

Then Yami was escorted to the dinning hall, where he ate his morning meal. The queen came in.

"Hurry, Yami! We want to get to Kumuza Siamen's house by dinnertime!" She then took Yami to a HUGE waiting caravan of camels, outside.

The seater put Yami in a carriage, all by himself, across him were three seating spaces, no doubt for the girls.

Then his obnoxious younger sister came in, "Yami's getting married, Yami's getting married!" She sang and giggled. Then queen came in.

"Urbi! Get out! We are supposed to sit in the front compartment!"

It took some time for everyone to get in his or her places, but Yami finally felt the caravan travel slowly forward.

He stared out of his flap when to servants said it would be safe. He saw nothing but sand for a long time.

Usually on caravan rides, he would be with his family, getting fanned by many servants, telling Urbi to shut-up, and eating grapes. Today he wondered why there where no servants, he sighed and fell asleep.

He was walking through a bunch of stands and crowds, in the middle of a crowd was a particularly good dancer, she winked at Yami. Then a huge gapping hole appeared in the sky, swallowing them forever. Then the caravan lurched to a stop. He woke up and kept himself from falling forward.

A servant came into the compartment, "Sire! We are at the Benerib lands!" he escorted Yami out into the blazing sun. Kosey Benerib was the pharaoh's merchant, and Yami has seen him many times and once he got to sail in a felucca with him. He was good-natured and talked about his family a lot, he mentions his eldest daughter the most, he would say, "She is really the classical Egyptian beauty! And she plays the 'Ud most excellently!" (I think an `Ud was an instrument used back then. I think people still use it. I know this because I saw it in the Return of the Mummy.) Then he would joke on and on how she was the right age for Yami to marry her. Now it might be true.

He, his family, and some servants advanced the steps to their house and pounded the door.

One of the male servants answered it and after he welcomed them, he and all of the other servants in the room immediately dropped down on the floor, bowing and reciting all of the kings from the Yuugi dynasty.

His father went about the room, giving the servants permission to get up.

Then Kosey came in, he and the pharaoh greeted each other, his family followed. Mistress Benerib burst forth and threw her arms around Yami's mother. And girlish sequels erupted from them.

"I haven't seen you in like, forever!"

"Oh Ra! That is the cutest dress!"

"You think so?"

Master Benerib gave a small cough. "This is my wife, Zahra."

"Greetings, your highness." She bowed. (I don't know if people curtsied of what, back then.)

"This is my son, Teremun."

"Hello! I turned twelve yesterday!"

He seemed to resemble his father a lot. (think Kosey as Odion and Teremun as little Odion.)

"Our little one, Nathifa." There was a small girl hidden behind Zahra, her tanned face was very pale and she was staring at the royal family, with a look that could have conveyed fright or shock.

The pharaoh advanced forward. "Hello, little one. How old are you?"

She shrunk back, "N-nine."

"So is Urbi."

Then Nathifa fainted. Her mother apologized. "Please forgive us, your royal highness, she was so excited to go live at the palace."

"Who wouldn't be?" The queen laughed.

"And competing for the prince's hand will be, Talibah!"

Out from the side stepped a beautiful girl, in her mid-teens. Her silky black hair flowed down past her waist and her features seemed delicate and graceful. (Just…think Isis.) Kosey Benerib had absolutely not lied about his daughter. Her deep blue eyes seemed serene and gentle, yet it was clouded by such a want, a want that Yami knew no one else in this room had. She walked forward.

The pharaoh asked, "My son is very lucky, how old are you?"

"Sixteen, sire."

"Hmm…You're one year younger than Yami."

Urbi's stomach growled, loudly.

Kosey chuckled, "come," he said, "lunch is waiting!" He lead them into the dinning hall, where they where seated.

Lunch was very loud and the pharaoh asked Talibah many questions. All of which she replied to politely.

One of the servants rushed in, "Sir, we really must be going now!"

"Right then." Kosey then started commanding the servants about, packing and gathering necessities.

The seaters then began seating everyone, Talibah sitting in Yami's compartment, Yami's family in the front, and the Beneribs in the back.

It took them a bit longer than this morning, but soon the caravan started moving again. Yami studied Talibah, head to toe, who was gazing placidly out of the compartment. Then he started, "So…um…how are you?"

She turned to Yami, the want still clouding her eyes. "I'm fine. How are you feeling?" Her voice was thin and cheery.

"I'm fine too. What was my father asking you at lunch?"

"Oh, stuff like, what honors have you received, what do you do in your spare time, nothing personal."

"Do you what to tell me a little about yourself?"

"Sure, ask me something."

Yami asked a few questions and Talibah answered all of them, for some reason it really seemed as if she rehearsed them.

She said that she liked to stroll in the family garden and watch animals.

"What do you want the most in the world?"

She was silent, "Well, I never really thought of that, I guess right now it would be winning your love and becoming a good queen." She was one of the few whose eyes revealed way too much. Yami stared into them, her mind seemed elsewhere, and she didn't want to marry Yami.

"Really? Because your eyes tell me otherwise."

She turned away, breaking the eye contact she had with Yami. "No, I really do! It would bring much honor to our family's name and I want to do my share for Egypt."

Yami opened his mouth to speak, but for the first time ever, Talibah cut him off. "Let's drop this." She said. She then started staring out the slit again. "Yami?" her voice became smooth and pleasant again. "Does your mother usually leave the palace?"

"Well, I guess not. She doesn't really have too, and she isn't allowed to anyways, these two days are special."

She sighed and leaned against the cloth wall. "Would you enforce that law too?"

"Well, it's isn't up to me."

She suddenly seemed sad and mournful, then she gazed out of the slit again.

She didn't want to become queen, something inside told that to Yami. (a/n: It's the heartof the cards!…no, it's not.)

Yami knew what the wanting clouding her eyes were, it was freedom, something that almost every one that Yami knew didn't have.
