Noah stared out the window of his apartment his mind racing with thoughts of the female that Seto had hired to take care of Mokuba. He frowned remembering when he had first meet the female all those years ago. She had been next in line to be the High Priestess of Mut. He had arranged for her mother to die "Mysteriously" so that she could be the High Priestess. He had hoped that such a thing would have made her grateful but it hadn't instead it seemed to have saddened her and driven her into the arms of Seto the High Priest of Ra.
"Stupid bitch," he snarled. "I can't believe she willing went to him after all I did for her. If it wasn't for me she would have never become the youngest High Priestess."
Noah closed his eyes remembering that day long ago, when he had first meet Pernia back in the land of endless sand.
Flashback*****************************************************
Noah walked up the steps to the Temple of Mut to speak with the High Priestess. In the inner sanctuary he saw the woman her long black hair held out of her face by a red ribbon, and her clothing a clean white. Beside the woman stood another female whose long brown hair was held back by a dark green ribbon.
"Priestess Narfia," he said.
Both females turned around the younger one was curious by the male that had entered the room the other one was annoyed by the interruption. Noah didn't spare the older woman in attention since he was so busy looking at the younger female with the wide blue eyes. She noticed him staring at her in a way that made in uneasy and stepped back slightly
"What is it Priest Noah?" asked Narfia noticing her daughters uneasiness.
"I have something I wish to discuss with you," he said. "In private."
"Very well," said Narfia handing her daughter the small bowl she had been holding. "Continue the offering without me Pernia I will be back momentarily."
"Yes mother," said the younger female turning back to the statue.
Narfia and Noah walked out to the gardens.

Noah grinned the other priestess had been surprised when he had killed her. Almost has if she hadn't expected him to kill her, she should have though since she had known from the start his desire for the woman. She had attempted to keep her from his viewing range but has everyone knows it is impossible to keep his attention from any woman that he wanted.
He frowned he should have killed Seto back then when he first saw them together in the park but he had not been aware of his attraction for the woman. Had he known the High Priest of Ra had fallen for the woman has well he would have killed him that night. Though he had never suspected the stern male from falling in love with anyone especially not the easy going priestess.
He scowled now he ran the risk of same thing happening, he would have to put an end to this little arrangement before it began some how.

Noah grinned and remembered what it was the woman had said to him when he had appeared the morning after she found her mother stabbed, she had been far too innocent to suspect him of it.
Flashback*****************************************************
Noah walked into the temple and pretended to be shocked to see more then the normal amount of guards. He walked up to one of the junior priestesses.
"What is going on woman?" he asked gruffly.
"The High Priestess Narfia has been murdered," said the woman. "Now if you will excuse me I have business to attend to."
Noah nodded, signaling to the woman to go back to her business. He walked into the High Priestess private chambers to see Malik the Captain of the Guards questioning her daughter.
"Have you seen anyone suspicious wondering around her lately?" he asked calmly.
"No," said the woman gently. "I haven't seen anyone that has been like that. The only one I have seen other then the servants, guards, and other priestesses was the High Priest of Set."
Malik turned to stir at the other male for several seconds sensing he was there.
"High Priest did you see anyone that could have been the murder recently?"
Noah pretended to look thoughtful for several minutes before shaking his head, "No I am sorry I can't remember seeing anyone that could have done this horrid deed (A/N: Gag me!)."
Malik stared at him for several seconds and for a brief moment Noah feared that he saw right through him; but after a moment the other male nodded.
"Alright then," said Malik softly. "I am sorry for your loss Pernia."
"Thank you," said Pernia softly.
Malik left the room leaving the two of them alone in room.

The woman's trust had dropped even more after that incident almost has if she had known it had been him but couldn't ring up any evidence of her belief. He grinned the woman hadn't even seen the clearest evidence right in front of her face at the time. Perhaps however that had been a good thing since he was sure she would have not allowed him to come near her after that.
He had been in love with her and had been willing to do anything for her to prove it, that had been the greatest evidence to the fact that she had been the one to kill her mother Narfia.
Flashback***************************************************
"Woman," said Noah walking into the garden a week after Narfia's death. "How are you fairing?"
"Has good as I could be expected," said Pernia softly looking up at him from her spot on the fountain.
"That is good to know," said Noah smirking to himself.
He walked up to her and began to run his hands through her hair, the reaction had been instant she had surged to her feet and stared at him in shock.
"High priest such things are not allowed between us and you well know it," she said backing away from him slightly.
"Who said anyone had to know about what we do?" asked Noah walking towards her.
"High Priest," began Pernia again before another priestess came out to get Pernia to begin the afternoon prayers.
Noah smirked has the young woman made a hasty retreat into the temple.
End of Flashback**********************************************
Am I the man that I appear to be?
Or am I someone I don't know?

Noah began to laugh the woman had been to naïve to listen to her gut instinct and that had gotten her killed. Well, that and her love for the High Priest of Ra. He could have treated her much better then that other male ever could have. All he needed to do was think of a plan to break them up.
"Noah-san," said a female voice entering the room.
"Hai," he said not turning around. "You have an invitation to a party at the end of the week shall I decline for you?"
"Will my brother be there?"
"I do so believe he will be there if only to up his social status in the business world."
"Then I will go has well."
"Very good sir," said the female leaving the room.
"Soon Kaiba I will see what you have been up to these past few years."

Author's Notes: It has occurred to me that some of u readers might be confused about the Yami/Arora thing mentioned in an earlier chapter. See Arora was Yami's lover 5,000 years ago in Egypt but she was murdered and had been pregnant at the time, so now that she and Yami have gotten married in this life Seto is wondering if he got her pregnant again. Still confused about that then you might wanna go read The Flower of Egypt and The Flower of Egypt II which will go more into Yami and his beloved Arora.
