Chapter 4: Memories of love and pain

We flash back to ancient Egypt and into Pharaoh Yami's kingdom. Sixteen year old Yami is sitting on his throne with his elbow resting on the arm of his chair and his head resting against his hand.

Right now he is utterly bored since he has an hour of free time before his Counsel takes him away for another dull business discussion. His Royal Counsel had summoned entertainers to come and please the bored Pharaoh King. The room is also filled with an audience, including the Royal Counsel, so that they could enjoy the entertainment with the young Pharaoh King. Everyone seems to be having a good time, but Yami doesn't seem the least bit entertained.

"Counselor Marlic....." he whispered in a harsh tone and turned his head to Marlic.

Marlic gulped. "Yes, your highness?"

He gave him a rather annoyed look and Marlic cowered. "Please send them away immediately, I'm bored to death already and I don't need this to add on to it."

"Bu-But your highness," said Marlic with a pleading look as he bowed his head for forgiveness. "They haven't gotten to the best part yet........The guests seem to be enjoying the performance......."

Yami turned his attentions away from him when he heard the sounds of giggling women. Five women dressed in what looked to be whore dresses in Yami's opinion, walked out from a curtained room and started to dance a strange gypsy style dance.

Some of the women were giving him seductive looks, swinging their hips or pressing their breasts together to show off their cleavage. This caused Yami to look absolutely disgusted since he has no taste for women.

Frustrated, Yami got to his feet and glared at Marlic.

"This is your idea of a best part?" he growled.

He folded his arms across his bare chest. "I have had enough Counselor, make them le-"

But he couldn't finish his sentence because his voice was canceled out by the sound of a flute filling the room. The entire audience fell silent as Yami turned his head and gasped at the sight he saw.

The women have left the dance floor and disappeared into the curtained room. Standing in their place was a young, handsome, man about fifteen years of age, playing a well-carved flute.

Yami swallowed hard as he stared at the young flute player and his mouth opened slightly. His wasn't the only one amazed with the man's musical talent, the room was utterly silent because the audience was also staring at the young man with their mouths hanging open.

The flute player's hair is a beautiful shade of brown and it is nicely cut short; his hair looked like silk to Yami. He wished he could see the color of the young man's eyes but couldn't because they were closed as he concentrated on his playing his hypnotic melody.

Yami's hungry eyes started wondering over the young man's body, admiring his lightly tanned skin, his well-built body, and the graceful movements of his legs as he slowly danced to the rhythm of his song.

The man was about an inch smaller then Yami, but Yami couldn't care less because this creature was exquisite. He could feel his mouth starting to water slightly as he watched the man dance. He sat back down in his seat as he fell under the spell of the young man's beautiful melody; the man's graceful movements were hypnotizing him.

A smile stretched over Yami's soft lips; he wanted to just watch the man play the flute and dance just for him. Hell, even if his castle was under attack and arrows were flying right at him to penetrate his body he wouldn't give a damn. He was too captivated by the young man's music, and too captivated by the man himself to care if death were approaching him; at least he would die a happy man.

Counselor Marlic noticed the instant change in the young prince when the young musician entered. He smiled to himself, pleased that for once in his entire sixty years of serving the Royal family he has finally pleased the young King of Egypt.

The melody ended and the young man stopped his dance. He stood straight up and opened his eyes to gaze at the Pharaoh. Yami suddenly gasped when their eyes came in contact.

The young man's eyes were such a beautiful deep blue; blue like the Nile River on a hot summer day. Yami just couldn't stop staring at the young man who was waiting patiently to see if the young King was pleased.

Finally, Yami slowly stood from his chair, moved his hands up and he started to clap. The entire audience, including the Counsel, clapped along with the Pharaoh and softly cheered at the handsome musician. The man smiled and bowed his head to his Pharaoh as flowers were thrown to him, then he turned and bowed towards the audience.

Yami then leaned close to Counselor Marlic, whispering in his ear as they clapped. "Counselor Marlic, who is that gorgeous creature?"

Yami's eyes were darting from the flute player who was waving his hand and blowing kisses to the audience, then back to Marlic to show him the one he was referring to.

"The flute player?' replied Marlic who blinked in slight confusion. "His name is Eden Martashi, your majesty."

"Eden.......Martashi........" sighed Yami, suddenly looking like he would just melt to the floor whenever he heard the sound of Eden's name. "Beautiful name."

He plopped back down into his chair with one of his rare smiles planted on his face as his gaze wondered back to the flute player.

After a few minutes, Yami finally spoke. "Oh Counselor Marlic, I must have him. Tell him to come to my room this evening for a private concert at eight o'clock, sharp."

Yami got to his feet.

"Yes your majesty." said Counselor Marlic, bowing his head over and over while backing away from the Pharaoh and quickly jogging over to the group of gypsies surrounding Eden.

Marlic gently reached out and grasped Eden's arm. He gently pulled a startled Eden away from the crowd, cupped a hand over his ear and whispered softly.

"My lord, Eden," whispered Marlic. "His majesty requests for you to come to his room this evening for a private concert at eight o'clock sharp."

Eden's eyes widened.

"A bath will be prepared for you and a gown will be left out for you in the bathing Chamber." The Counselor continued as he backed away. "Don't be late."

Before Eden could protest, or say a word, Marlic hurried back to the Pharaoh's side and walked beside him as they exited the throne room with the rest of the Royal Counsel.

Eden watched the Pharaoh and his counsel disappear. His fist clenched slightly and his body shaking.

"Oh no," he thought, a drop of sweat slid down his cheek as he looked to the floor; his flute was on the floor because he dropped it after hearing what the Counselor.

He has heard rumors about how the handsome Pharaoh would invite young men into his room for a private party and then turn it into a night of ecstasy. Then when the night was over, the Pharaoh would dispose of them without thinking twice.

With a sad sigh, Eden bent down and picked his flute up. Swiftly turning he made his way to his gypsy family. He spotted his mother and walked over to her. With a smile his mother reached her hands out and took hold of his own.

"My son, you played wonderfully tonight," she said, gently squeezing Eden's hands. "The Pharaoh was so pleased with you that-"

"He invited me to have a private concert for him........in his room." he said, flatly.

Her eyes widened when she saw the look of refusal in her son's eyes.

"Oh.....son......you can't refuse," she said sadly. "If you do, he will punish you......worse......he will kill you."

"I rather die then have his dirty hands on me," he spat out. "It does bring me joy that he enjoys my music but to go as far as being invited into his room to have him ravish me, I rather welcome death itself with open arms."

He heard his mother wince from when he mentioned death to her.

"Son.........you may prefer death instead a night with the Pharaoh, but I rather not have a dead son. Please Eden..........your all I have left in this world........your father is no longer among us.......don't join him and your ancestors just yet."

Eden stared into his mother's eyes for a moment, hating it when his mother was sad. After his father death his mother became very unstable since she was deeply in love with her husband.

Eden swore he would do anything in his power to make his mother happy.

"I think you are wrong about him wanting to ravish you," said his mother. "It seems that all he wants is just to listen to your music since he seem so captivated by it."

She stared pleadingly at Eden, waiting for his answer. With a sigh he turned his head away from her, his jaw clenching.

".......I'll do it," he whispered, his eyes closing. "For you, mother."

With a smile she wrapped her arms around her son and hugged him gently.

"I am sure that his majesty only wants to hear your music, my son," she said, giving Eden a confident look.

Eden wrapped his arms around his mother and held her close, his eyes closing as a sigh escaped his lips.

"I hope your right, mother," whispered Eden as he tightened his grip on his mother. "I hope you are right........"

***

It is now one minute to eight. Freshly bathed and dressed, Eden slowly made his way towards the Pharaoh's royal chambers, his flute in his hand as he slowly walked.

"I hope that mother is right about the Pharaoh," he thought to himself as he stood in front of the Pharaoh's Chambers and stared at the door knob. "But I have my doubts since I've heard that the Pharaoh has a taste for young men."

He stood there for a few seconds in front of the Pharaoh's chambers and sighed, then he lifted his chin up bravely.

"Well, here goes nothing........." he said as he balled up his hand. He reached out to gently knock on the door but before he could knock on the door he heard the Pharaoh's voice say 'Enter'.

Taking a deep breath, Eden turned the knob and pushed the doors open. His eyes widened when the first thing he saw was a long table with large platters of fruit and meat.

His eyes shifted to Yami, who was freshly bathed and clothed as well, sitting on well-crafted chair with his legs crossed and his arms folded. Yami flashed Eden a rare grin and stood from his chair, his arms unfolding. Eden felt his heart starting to beat fast when the handsome Pharaoh smiled at him.

"Welcome, Eden Martashi," greeted Yami in a soft, gentle, voice instead of his usual harsh tone. "I didn't know if you have eaten or not so I had some food prepared for us."

He gestured his hand towards the table covered with platters of food.

Eden, afraid to move, just stood there and stared at the Pharaoh, not blinking even once. Yami, thinking that this boy is scared of him, started chuckling softly, his well-built chest gently rumbling from his soft laughter.

"I am not going to chop your head off for eating," he said, giving Eden another one of his rare smiles. "Go ahead and eat. Once you have sastified your stomach you may begin your performance."

He sat back down in his chair, his eyes following Eden as he finally snapped out of his trance and made his way over to the food.

He sampled all of the fruits from berries to melons. Fruit was like a treat to Eden, his family rarely ate and when they did it would always be a certain kind of meat.

The sudden thought of his family made Eden drop a piece of melon to the floor. He wanted to kick himself for forgetting about how his family is starving while is he here eating as if it's his last meal. Yami, who was watching him eat the whole time, raised an eyebrow.

"Do you find the fruit distasteful?' he asked, slowly raising from his seat. "If so, I can dispose of it and request for different kinds."

"It's not that your majesty," replied Eden, looking shameful. "I just feel guilty because here I am eating this wonderful meal while my poor family is most likely starving."

Yami smiled yet again, liking how this wonderful creature thinks about others before himself; the other entertainers that he invited to his room would just scarf down all his food even when he didn't give them permission to.

"Don't not fret over them, Eden," he said as he stood behind Eden.

He leaned down and gently burying his face into the back of his neck. "I made sure that they were given a feast as their payment for their performance."

Eden shivered when he felt the Pharaoh's lips come in contact with his bare skin. Yami's arms slipped around his waist as he inhaled the sweet fragrance of Eden's hair and softly sighed. Eden closed his eyes and relaxed for a moment, surprised at the fact that he suddenly felt safe and warm from the Pharaoh's touch.

Yami move away after teasing Eden a bit. Eden to turn and look at him with a disappointed look.

"Its time for your performance," said Yami with a smile as he back up into his chair and took a seat.

Yami held back a chuckle from Eden's puppy face. "Begin, Eden."

Eden nodded to the Pharaoh.

Reaching out he took hold of his flute, which was resting on the table while he ate. He then faced Yami, and closed his eyes. He brought his flute close to his lips and started to play. Yami closed his eyes as he welcomed the warm feeling that Eden's melody brought to his heart.

Eden opened his eyes to look at Yami, feeling a strange joy inside him from the sight of the Pharaoh in pleasure. He closed his eyes once again, and started his graceful movements to the melody.

Yami opened his eyes and smiled in pleasure as he watched Eden dance.

"Such a talented creature with wonderful grace," he thought to himself. "How can anyone resist him......."

He suddenly stood, as if hypnotized, and walked towards Eden slowly.

Eden, having not seen Yami stand up since his eyes are closed, continued to play his flute, and dance. He suddenly felt two soft, warm, hands gently being placed on his moist chest. His eyes snapped open and a strange sound came from his flute when he tried to gasp.

He looked straight into the eyes of the Pharaoh, his flute moving away from his lips as his hands lowered to his sides. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, both captivated by each other.

Suddenly, Yami's head tilted, as well as Eden's, their eyes closed and they lips touched. Eden's flute slipped from his fingers and fell to the floor, gently rolling under the table with the platters of foods on top of it.

Eden clung to Yami's neck while Yami wrapped his arms around Eden's waist. Lips clung, mouths parted, tongues teased and entwined, and the sounds of fast breathing came from the aroused men. Yami loved the taste of Eden, and Eden loved the taste of Yami. They both had a sweet taste, but Eden's taste was sweeter because of the fruit he had just consumed.

Yami started walking forward and caused Eden to walk backwards until his calves gently bumped into the bed. Eden fell and Yami fell after him, both toppling onto the bed with their arms wrapped tightly around each other.

***

The dark Royal Chambers that were once quiet are now filled with the sounds of two men's moans, gasps, and groans of pleasure. Yami and Eden's clothes are scattered all over the floor. Yami is on top of Eden with his mouth fastened on Eden's right nipple. Eden is underneath Yami, his head thrown back, his eyes closed, and soft groans escaping his lips as he felt the tip of Yami's tongue tease and slide over his sensitive nipple.

Eden never felt this way before, what him and the Pharaoh were doing seemed right. He didn't want this night to ever end.

Little did Eden know Yami felt the same way; he never experienced such desire for someone before, he wanted to just stay with Eden like this till death parted them.

Wanting to hear what other kinds of sounds Eden makes, he slid his tongue down Eden's well-built chest and fine abdomen. Eden's eyes snapped open and he gritted his teeth. His hands now clutched the bed sheets as Yami's mouth surrounded his most sensitive part on his entire body and softly suckled.

He continued his gentle assault on Eden. His head gently moved up and down as he pleasured Eden's sensitive length, using his tongue to tease and slide over his erect length. Eden felt like he was going to die from the pleasure that the handsome Pharaoh was giving him. He moaned softly, reached down and took hold of Yami's spiked, silky, hair. He softly gripped it.

Suddenly, without any warning, Yami slide his hand between Eden's legs. He gently inserted two fingers into him. Eden yelped and his hips bucked slightly from his very first penetration. His hands left Yami's hair and returned to clutching the bed sheets. Yami lifted his head, his passion filled eyes gently stared at him.

"I take it this is your first time, Eden," whispered Yami.

Eden nodded his head, softly panting as his head turned from side to side.

"What we will be doing later will hurt but not much and not for very long," he continued, lowering his head to once again pleasure Eden while his fingers gently move and swirled inside Eden.

Eden had no clue what he meant but did not care. He threw his head back once again and groaned out loud from the intense pleasure he was receiving.

"Oh Ra.........your majesty......." he moaned.

Yami lifted his head once again and shook it at him.

"Please.....address me by Yami," he purred as he flexed his fingers inside Eden.

Eden clenched his teeth to stop himself from crying out. Yami smiled at him, once again flexing his fingers inside Eden.

"Yami," he moaned, his hips arching and falling. "It feels so very good."

Yami frowned a little when Eden bit back another cry. He leaned close to Eden and whispered softly as he gazed into his eyes.

"Don't hold it back, Eden, let it out," he said as he slid up Eden's body and kissed him.

His fingers started to thrust deeper into Eden.

"Bu.But.." he whimpered against his lips, then gasped out his name. "Yami!"

His cry was muffled by Yami's lips while he experienced his first climax.

Surprised, Yami broke the kiss and looked down. Eden hasn't learned to control his release, his seed was splattered over Yami's abdomen and thighs. A rare blushed spread across Eden's cheeks.

"I........I'm so sorry Ya-.....your majesty.......I-" Yami cut him off by placing his finger on his lips.

"I told you to call me Yami and do not fret," said Yami. "A lot of young men like you can't hold back his release when its their first time."

He gently leaned forward and softly licked Eden's cheek. Eden shivered.

Yami grabbed towel and cleaned himself off. He looked down at Eden and smiled. Gently he rolled Eden onto his stomach.

Confused, Eden laid on his stomach and blinked. He felt Yami press his body against his back, then felt his soft lips against his ear as Yami whispered.

"This will hurt Eden," whispered Yami. "But then I promise that it won't last long and that it will feel very good."

Eden was going to ask him about what he was planning to do. But before he could he suddenly felt Yami's length thrust inside him.

He buried his face into the pillow and his hands gripped the sheets. Whimpering, he felt a wave of pain wash over his body from Yami's penetration.

Yami growled in pleasure and bend his head low to gently suckle on Eden's earlobe so he will relax. Eden tilted his head towards his hungry mouth and softly sighed.

"Ra...he is so very tight.." Yami thought to himself as he felt Eden's muscles tightening around his length. This caused him to groan.

Seeing that Eden has adjusted to him, he started to gently grind his hips against Eden's buttocks. Eden gasped and lifted his hips off the bed as he begged Yami to continue.

Yami smirked and started a slow rhythm. Gently thrusting and grinding into a special spot inside Eden, he listened to the sound of his startled moans when he pressed up against his pleasure spot. Yami nuzzled his ear and whispered.

"Eden, you feel so very good," he moaned and started to move his hips in a circular movement. "I love the way your body feels against mine. I love the way you arch your body when you like a certain thing I do. And Ra............I love the way you feel while I am inside you. Your perfect, my Eden."

Eden groaned; Yami's words were drugging him. He turned his head and caught Yami's lips with his own. Both men groaned in pleasure as they kissed each other. Their tongues gently entwined and explored each other's mouth to find more of their taste. Yami broke the kiss and slid out of Eden's body quickly.

Eden started to whimper when he no longer felt Yami inside him. Yami then turned him over so that he was lying on his back. He quickly fell on top of Eden and thrust his length back into him.

Eden moaned happily when he felt his lover back inside him, his legs wrapping around Yami's waist to keep up with his frantic thrusts. Yami was getting close and he wanted Eden to be as well.

While thrusting into his lover Yami reached between their bodies and took hold of his length. Eden gasped and bucked his hips up as he felt Yami's hand slide up and down his length while speeding up his thrusts.

"I want you to release with me, Eden," Yami managed to moan out while picking up his thrusting pace. "I'll wait till your ready for release."

Yami hips pounded into Eden's as he watched his face and licked his lips to see if Eden's taste was still on them.

Eden's pants and gasps increased as he felt that he was getting close to his second release. Yami sensed it and lead down to kiss his lips once again. He savored the taste for a moment before pulling his head back to stare into Eden's deep blue eyes.

"Now Eden," Yami groaned. His teeth clenched and his eyes squeezed shut.

Their heads threw back in pleasure as they cried each other's name out; they have reached the point of climax together. Eden's body became limp while Yami fell right on top of him in exhaustion.

They both panted, their bodies bathed in sweat, then snuggled against each other. They exchanged a few kisses and Yami shifted so that he was beside Eden. He pulled Eden into his arms and closed his eyes. Eden snuggled in his arms and also closed his eyes. They both fell asleep contentedly.

***



Days have turned into weeks and weeks have turned into months. Barely anyone has see Yami or Eden since Eden arrived at Yami's chambers.

Eden and Yami have been spending the days in room making love. The only time Yami came out was to yell at the maids to stop bothering him or yell for the maids to bring food or a tub full of fresh bathing water.

The Royal Counsel have been getting fed up with the young Pharaoh refusing to come out of his room to attend his usual business discussions that they tried to think of way to take matters into their own hands.

Disaster has struck Egypt. People were breaking the laws, hundreds of people were dying from starvation, and peasants who went insane due to lack of food slaughtered people. The King of Egypt was needed desperately. But the stubborn Pharaoh refused to come out of his room deal with it. How could Yami ever leave Eden's soft warm body.?



***

Yami was holding Eden close while he slept. He smiled down at the lovely creature in his arms and stroked his hair. They have made nonstop love, only stopping to rest and eat food brought to them by the maids. Yami just couldn't get enough of Eden; he was in love with this talented man. Eden would be the first one that Yami wanted to keep for a very long time.

A knock on the door caused Yami's eyes to jerk towards the door. He looked as though he would attack the one who dares to disturb him (if they were brave enough to try and open the door).

"What is it?" he growled out.

"Your highness," he heard the voice of one of his maids. "You have been in there for months."

Yami grumbled and pulled Eden closer to him. He gently nuzzled his throat to inhale his sweet essence. Eden tilting his head to Yami and moaned softly in his sleep.

"Tragic things happened these past few days and they need to be fixed by you and the Counsel," continued the maid. "Please, your highness..............you must come out."

Yami cursed loudly and gently slided out of Eden's embrace.

"I'll be back for you later, my Eden," he whispered softly to the slumbering Eden and pressed a kiss to his lover's ear. "I promise."

Eden softly sighed and whispered Yami's name as he curled up in his sleep. Yami wrapped a sheet around his waist and walked to the door. He let the maid inside and looked down at her.

"Be sure that he gets some clothes," he said and nodded his head towards Eden.

The maid nodded and quickly helped Yami dress in his meeting clothes. He nodded a thank you to her and left the room. The maid watched him close the door behind him.

Once he was gone, the maid turned to the sleeping Eden. She reached into the front of her dress and slipped out a small dagger. She walked towards him, crawled onto the bed, and on top of him. She sat up on his chest and stared down at him as she waited for him to awaken.

Eden smiled when he thought it was Yami sitting on him and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes widened when he saw that this was not his Pharaoh but a maid with a knife aimed directly at his heart. He started to struggle to throw the maid off him yet it is hard since this maid has a dagger held close to his skin and moving makes the dagger come closer.

"The Pharaoh ordered for you to be done away with," whispered the maid as her eyes narrowed. "He said that you did not sastify him and since you didn't sastify him, you'll are to be disposed."

Eden called out Yami's name for help.

"And calling for him won't work," spat the maid. "His highness will never save a peasant like you."

Eden's eyes widen. He just couldn't believe it, this had to be a bad dream.

"No.......it couldn't be......." he said. "Not my Yami.......not my handsome Pharaoh King.........he would never ignore me........he said he loves me."

"You think the Pharaoh would love the likes of you?" said the maid with a disgusted look on her face. "Hah. He always tells his toys that just so he gets the one thing he wants from them is pleasure."

The maid smirked when she saw the hurt in his eyes. Suddenly Eden's eyes narrowed and filled with rage as he once again tried to push the maid off his chest; he wanted to kill Yami for doing this to him.

The maid flipped the dagger and slashed at Eden's arm. He cursed and pulled back his wounded arm as blood streamed down his arm.

The maid turned to the door and yelled out 'Guards!'. Two guards burst into the room. They closed the doors behind them and ran over to the maid and Eden. One took hold of his hands and pinned them down to the upper part of the bed, and the other took hold of his legs and pinned them down to the lower part of the bed.

Eden watched with bulging eyes as the maid raised the dagger high into the air. He struggled helplessly and tried to free himself from the guard's grips. With a smirk on her face she moved the dagger downwards and embedded it deep into Eden's chest; into his breaking heart.

***

Yami entered the throne room and glared at all of the members of the Royal Counsel who were all sitting and cowering in their seats. The doors closed behind him

"What is so important that you had to go and drag me out of bed for?" he hissed. His arms folded over his chest.

The room remained silent until Counselor Marlic stood up and cleared his throat. All eyes, including Yami's, were focused on him.

"Well, you see your majesty, that has been many-" Eden's scream of pain interrupted Marlic's news about the havoc in Egypt.

Yami's eyes widened when he recognized the sound of the scream.

"Eden!" he yelled and turned to run out of the room but ended up running into the closed doors.

He cursed his stupidity and kicked the doors open. He raced from the throne room as fast as he could until he reached his chambers. He thrust his hands against the doors, which caused them to swing open and slam against the walls. His eyes were huge at the sight he saw.

Eden was lying on the bed surrounded by a pool of blood, his blood; a dagger is embedded deeply into his chest. He is deadly pale, and doesn't appear to be breathing.

Yami slowly walked to his wounded lover, completely shocked. He stopped when he heard the sounds of a female whimpering. Puzzled, he walked closer to the bed and peered over the other side.

On the other side of the bed the maid was sitting on the floor shaking in fright. Yami was going to ask her what happened to Eden but his eyes caught the sight of red on the maid's hands and clothes. The question Yami was going to ask had already been answered by the maid even though she didn't utter a word.

"You!" roared Yami as his eyes filled with fire and rage. "Why in the name of Ra have you done this?!"

The Millennium eye appeared on his forehead which caused a gold aura to out line his body and the Millennium eye to glow.

"I-I-I-I-I" stuttered the maid, her eyes filled with terror.

Before she can say another word Yami grabbed her face and lifted her high into the air. He made sure that her throat was bared while he reached out towards the dagger. He pulled the dagger out of his lover's body as his eyes stared the horrified maid.

"No! Oh Ra no!" cried the maid and she started to struggled pathetically. "Please.have mercy your majesty, hig-"

Yami silenced the maid's by slicing her throat open with the dagger. Her blood sprayed all over Yami's face and clothes.

"How dare you expect mercy from me when you showed no mercy to Eden," he hissed and dropped the dead corpse to the ground.

The maid's blood slide down his face as he glared down at her dead body.

"She couldn't have done this alone," said Yami as he tried to wipe the blood off his face with his hand. "The had to be others..........but who..........."

Yami's head lifted when he heard a small moan.

"Eden.?" whispered Yami and turned his head to look to his lover.

Eden's admitted a weak moan and his eyes slowly opened. He turned his eyes to Yami's direction. His eyes widened when he saw that Yami was holding the dagger that was plunged into him.

"I......it is true.........." he thought to himself. "He did.......want me........dead..........."

He then remembered stories of Yami being gifted with the powers of Ra and he had the power to manipulate people's minds. He then told himself that Yami placed a spell on him and tricked him into believing that he was seeing a maid pressing a knife into his chest.

Eden's glare caused Yami to wince.

"Yo-You........" coughed Eden. "You.........we-were.......the..........on- one..........wh.......who.......stab-stabbed..........me."

Yami's eyes widened once again and he looked to the bloody dagger in his hand. He dropped it to the floor which fell and pierced itself into the dead maid's neck.

"No," said Yami, his voice filled with panic. "It wasn't me who stabbed you, it-"

"I..........I loved you..........Yami," interrupted Eden, tears filling his eyes. "How........how could.......you............use........m-me......."

Eden's eyes closed and his head tilted to the side. Tears slid down his cheeks as his body lay lifelessly on the bed as his strength and soul left his body.

Yami couldn't believe his eyes. This wonderful creature that he have been with for months, the first man that he ever loved, was gone.........

"N-No............Why Ra........Why.........." he cried as he fell to his knees.

Yami doesn't remember the time he first cried but now that will change. He felt tears fill up his eyes and his head threw back. His eyes closed tightly as tears mixed with the maid's blood on his face flew away from his face from throwing his head back. They fell to the floor like blood rain as he screamed out through his blood tears.

"EDEN!!"

The room darkens as Yami collapses onto his dead lover's chest, sobbed his name, and begged for him to open his eyes and come back to him.......

Eden helped Yami love for the very first time.

//End of Flashback//



Yami opened his eyes and turned his head to Alice who had tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Why did the maid kill Eden-san.?" she whispered and sniffled.

Yami sighed and shook his head.

"I do not know, Alice," he said. "All I know is that I later on found the two other people who killed him.............my own guards."

He closed his eyes again.

"When he died, I felt like a piece of my heart was stolen away from me. It was the first time I felt sad that someone died..........I turned bitter and hateful that day. I couldn't stand to love another."

He then smiled alittle

"But now that I have my Aibou, I am once again at peace."

He opened his eyes and stood.

"Its very late," he said and turned his eyes to the clock which said three twenty two a.m. "I've kept you and Aibou up for too long and it is time for you two to get some rest.............you both have school tomorrow I assume."

She nodded and stood up.

"Arigato for telling me the story, Yami-san," she said and smiled a thank you.

Alice turned, walked over to her suitcase and opened it. She knelt in front of it and took out her nightgown, toothbrush, and hairbrush. She stood up and wondered off into the bathroom to prepare for bed.

Once she closed the door to the bathroom Yami closed his eyes and went back to talking to Yugi in their mind world.

"I take it you heard my story, Aibou," he said and his eyes saddened slightly at the sight of Yugi's tears; he hated it when his Aibou cried. "I hope it doesn't change your opinion about me."

Yugi shook his head frantically and quickly wiped his tears away.

"Not at all Yami.I just found it sad," Yugi managed to say.

A puzzled look suddenly appeared in his eyes. "One thing bothers me though. Where do the Millennium Gloves come in and how did Eden come back with his memories?"

Yami blinked and then placed a hand on his chin.

"Good question Aibou," he said. "The gods created the gloves and placed Eden's soul into them so that he would be reincarnated. They told me that his memories of our past would be erased because bad things could happen if he remembered. And they were right.........."

He closed his eyes.

"I then placed the gloves into a box and had it buried," he continued and suddenly frowned. "As for him remembering our past, that is a mystery. He wasn't suppose to remember me."

"I feel like I am in a mystery movie," said Yugi who smiled to lighten up the mood.

With a chuckle Yami reached out and pulled Yugi into his arms. He placed a small kiss onto Yugi's nose.

"Gomen Aibou," he said and grinned down at his little light. "This isn't a movie, it's quite real."

"I know," said Yugi with a chuckle as he kissed Yami on the chin and snuggled closer to him.

"Anyway," mumbled Yami. "You need your rest Aibou. I'd rather not have you be like Jounouchi; sleeping all the time in class."

Yugi laughed as Yami released him.

"Perhaps tomorrow we can try to figure out more about Eden's mysterious death and how he remembers what happened in the past," said Yugi as he moved back from Yami.

"Perhaps Aibou.Perhaps..." said Yami.

He closed his eyes once again as Yugi went off to his little playroom to get some sleep.

***

Yugi appeared back in his room and looked around to see that Alice is no longer in the bathroom.

"Alice-san?" he softly called.

He turned his head and smiled as he saw that she was lying on the far side of his bed fast asleep. Yugi took off his Millennium puzzle, and placed it on his bedside table beside Alice's Millennium gloves.

He then changed out of his school uniform and into boxers and a T-shirt. He crawled onto his bed beside Alice and pulled the covers up to cover their bodies.

"I wonder if we will be able to find any answers about Yami and Eden's past," he whispered and gazed quietly over at Alice's Millennium Gloves sitting on his bedside table.

"Aibou," said Yami who pretended to sound angry to tease Yugi. " I don't hear the sound of you asleep."

Yugi jumped a little; he did not expect that.

"Hai Hai" said Yugi.

He softly chuckled as he closed his eyes and curled up. He drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

***

Yami softly sighed as he walked to his bed. He flopping onto his soft comforter and stared up at the ceiling.

"Eden," he whispered to himself. "I'll fine a way to turn you go back to your peaceful self........that is a promise I intend to keep......."

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

To be continued.
