Chapter 6

 

Yami felt it as soon as Akunadin brought him into the Palace, with an oily smile and a glittering eye and proclaimed that he had brought the great Pharaoh a gift. This young one was soft, all pale violet and pale skin. How pretty!

Mahaado did not think so. He could see the currents moving, and he sighed. Yami was going to get burned, badly too, but he had to learn sometime, and afterwards, well, he'd patch him up and cuddle him.

He closed his eyes and settled down to sleep.

Yami didn't bother to call him.

 

Yuugi was adorable. He blushed at all the right times and he was soft and snuggly. That was probably why it hurt so much when Yuugi smiled at him and slammed the dagger up to its hilt in his gut.

He screamed for his Mother as he waited for death.

 

Mahaado gave Yuugi a smile even sweeter than his as he drove his staff through the boy's chest. Excellent…

Then, he turned to his darling Yami and placed his hands on his body, letting Yami take his life to heal his own. He had plenty of life to spare, after all.

He yanked out the dagger, and watched as the last of the bloody flesh closed up.

Yami gave a gasp of air as he opened his eyes. “M-Mother…”

“That was foolish of you.” Mahaado chided. “Did you not sense it?”

Yami flushed in shame. Mother almost never scolded him, but when she did, it hurt. He looked down.

“And you sent me away, too. Did you really want me to leave, Yami? I will go and leave you alone if that is what you really want.”

“No!” Yami pushed himself up, ignoring the pain in his body. “No!”

Mahaado smiled as he began chanting in hieratic. Yami's eyes widened and he pounced, pinning Mahaado to the ground underneath him and covering his lips in a desperate kiss.

No! He didn't want Mother to leave! If Mother left he would be alone and then the bad people would come and hurt him!

He didn't want Mother to leave! Ever!

 

Mahaado managed to push Yami off after a few moments passed. He crossed his arms as he sat up. Yami looked almost, frightened. That would not do.

“Are you afraid of me, Yami?”

Yami shook his head, but continued to cling to Mahaado like a limpet. The Magician sighed inwardly.

“Do you truly not wish me to leave, Yami?”

“Yes.” Was he crying? Mahaado looked closer and saw that yes, tears were beginning to glitter in crimson eyes. Fascinating.

“I must have the truth, Yami.”

“I never want you to leave me, Mother. Never!”

“I will never leave you, Yami. But will you leave me?”

Yami paled at the accusation as he flushed. “I…”

“I am bound to you for eternity, Yami, but will you do the same? Or will you chase the wind where your desires ride?”

“Mother, I didn't mean!”

“You may not have meant to sleep with that bed-slave, but you did.” Mahaado said curtly.

Yami frowned. “Mother….”

“I have nothing more to say.”

 

Mahaado knew when he had the advantage, and he took it. He faded back into mist as Yami reached for him. The anguished expression on his Prince - now Pharaoh's face tore at his heart, but it had to be done.

“MOTHER!”

 

Mahaado carefully closed his eyes. It would only be separation for two days, three at the longest, but it was time to test his Prince - Pharaoh's loyalty.

I am loyal to you, but you are not loyal to me…

He did not like that double standard.

 

Yami was catatonic for the rest of the day. No one could coax him to do anything, but when Akunadin decided that this was as good a time as any to finish the brat off once and for all so Seto could rule Egypt, he hit a force field.

Mirror Force, Yami recognized vaguely. Mother would have cast it to protect him if she were here.

Mother…

He cried.

He couldn't hear her voice or feel her presence. He had never felt so alone in all his life.

Mother, come back to me…

 

The servant girls tried to help, but he didn't let them near him. He bathed himself and created peaches and wished Mother was here.

Mother had always taken care of him…

Now, without Mother, he felt lonely and unloved.

He wanted Mother back…

I want Mewet back…

 

Mahaado shimmered into being at sunset on the third day. Yami threw his arms around her, and let him self fall apart.

He really was nothing without Mother…

“Do you understand now, that we cannot be apart?” Mahaado asked, as he ran his fingers through blonde spikes.

Yami nodded. “Yes, Mother. I will never leave you again.” His fingers gripped into Mahaado's shoulders convulsively, drawing blood.

Mahaado ignored the pain as he bent down and captured Yami's lips in a kiss. Yami mewed, happy that things were finally where they belonged.

He would never leave Mother again. Never.

 

“Do you love me?”

“Of course I do.” Yami said, willing to say anything as long as he was here and safe and Mother protected him. He never ever wanted her to leave him again. He would do anything to keep her here. It was no longer a childish oath… it was truth.

“I love you too, my precious Yami.” Mahaado whispered, and their lips met again. Yami clung to his Mother greedily; almost afraid she would vanish if he took his eyes off her for a moment.

Somewhere in the distance, bells rang.

Mahaado fights dirty. ^^ But he does have a point. I don't like double standards either! I'm sorry, but even if Yami is Pharaoh, I think he should be faithful…
