[ The castle ]
Yami sat in the small chair by his dad's bedside. He took his father's hand and cupped it in his own.
"Father..."
The aging man patted Yami's hand and spoke slowly. Tea, Joey, Serenity and Mana stood a distance behind. Isis, the healer and the pharoah's advisor, sat on the other side, humming a chant. Yami's mother was pale-faced and stood beside Yami's chair, closing her eyes. She rubbed a necklace of beads between her slender fingers.
"Yami, remember every you have...been...taught."
He nodded.
"My will is my kingdom, the citizens...take care of your mother. And...take this."
His hand reached for a gold pyramid.
"The puzzle..." Yami whispered. The pharoah leaned forward and put the necklace around his neck. It shimmered brightly against the torch light. He put his head back on the pillow and almost closed his eyes, when he said,
"I want you to run this kingdom the way you want...believe in every...everything you do is right. I never disliked your lack of attention for studies, I actually...enjoyed it. You will be a great pharoah."
He cranked his head toward Yami's friends.
"They will be your guide, Yami...and Isis will help you...I...I never disliked your grandfather. I was a complete...fool. He was great and I wanted to be like...him. I will be joining him now. Take care my son. Live a prosperous...life."
Yami nodded and put his head on his father's chest. It slowly beated. The man closed his eyes and tapped his finger. Isis lifted her raven head and stopped chanting. His head fell and Yami's mother screamed and started to sob. Yami's head lifted off his chest while a tear left Mana's eye. Isis got a woven and decorated blanket and covered his body. Everyone put their heads down.
[ Two years later ]
Yami twiddled his fingers as a row of smiling princesses lined up. All had too much make-up on and was accompanied by huffing fathers with twitching mustaches.
"My daughter has greatly appreciated you Pharoah. Please take her hand in marriage."
"NO! My daughter is a very talented negoiator and can speak many different languages! Speak French, honey!"
The girl coughed and smiled a artificially colored grin. "We-we."
"That's my girl!"
Yami sighed and sat up, trying to look interested. "Please leave...all of you."
They muttered and left, cursing.
"Oh, Yami, how can you decide who to marry if you can't accept any of them?" His mother sighed and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Mother, they're all so..."
"Alike. I know Yami. I don't think they can even differ from each other. They all look so alike."
Another row of young women stepped into the hall and lined up again.
"This is going to take so long..." Yami muttered.
"Look at that. How can he just pick a girl from so many people he never knew before? I knew something was wrong with this system ever since I knew about it. Joey, are you listening?"
"Yes I am, untiil you said "Look". Who cares who Yami picks. As long as she doesn't bother me."
"But how can you just sit there while he has a battle of his life just to pick some snobby woman out of a crowd?" Tea kicked his leg. "I mean, shouldn't he decide who he wants to marry and when?"
"He is deciding, even though the choices are close to none and... his time is now anyways. We can't change the rules Tea, relax."
"Oh, Serenity, what do you say?"
"Um, I think it's unfair and all Tea, but...I have to agree with Joey. They have been doing this for ages now and it won't change for him."
Tea stuck out her tongue and turned her back to listen to the voices behind the door.
"You know what I think?" Joey whispered to his sister. "I think Tea's just jealous." They snickered and Tea turned around abruptly and stuck her finger on the tip of his nose.
"I HEARD THAT JOEY!! I'm not jealous! I mean, I just care about Yami's happiness, that's all." Tea added, returning her cool.
"Tea?"
"Wha?! Oh um hey Yami."
"What were you doing?" He laughed.
"Nothing, uh nothing really."
"Right."
Tea pressed her fingers together. "So...you picked anyone?"
Yami sighed. "I don't think I should choose just yet. They...scare me."
Suddenly a soldier came in through the door and kneeled to Yami. Yami signalled for him to stand and the messenger revealed a scroll.
"Pharoah Yami. There has been a new report that Lord Pike is planning an invasion."
"An invason?"
"Lord Pike..." Joey mumbled.
Yami shook his head. "I have to do something, but his army can overpower mine. It would lead to so many casualties. And he's coming for me."
[ Top of the castle in that thing...balcony! ]
Yami looked over the horizon, his purple eyes staring into nothingness. [ I'm deep :3 ] Just then, Tea came in with a tray of food. [ yum yum ]
"Are you sure you won't eat Yami? You haven't even eaten dinner. We're getting worried."
He stared at her for a second and looked away. "As the new Pharoah, I must protect my people. If my country becomes under Lord Pike, I'd feel that I did nothing to stop him. My father would be ashamed at me."
"No...," Tea put down the tray. "You'll be a great Pharoah. Don't you worry about that Pike guy. You're stronger than him. He has no heart. All he wants is power and that will be his downfall. All of your people will support you and we will too." [ yap yap, hehe ]
"Thank...you Tea."
"It's late. You should get some sleep."
"Right."

Malik: Owy..
Marik: Ow.
Isis: ^_^ Now what have we learned?
Marik and Malik: That the human society is based on the actions of themselves. That the world is balanced by the human nature and how people learn from the past to never repeat their mistakes.
Isis: Great then! Now here's that doll you wanted. *throws Marik doll*
Marik: O__O You're giving it to us! After all we did to try and take it?!
Isis: Did I mention Lena got a brand new doll?
Marik: What doll could be better than mine?! *squeezes doll till its head pops off* >_>
Lena: Well, 'ello there guys.
Malik: You have a new doll, Lena?
Lena: Do you know Final Fantasy VII?
Joey: I love that game! *disappears*
Marik: Maybe...
Lena: :3 I have a Cloud doll now! *squeeze and runs away like a little school girl*
Marik:...
Malik: Uh, Marik?
Marik:......
Malik: *picks up Marik doll head* We don't have to deal with the doll now. Marik?
Marik:...... T____T *sob*
Malik: I thought you hated her having this doll. *wiggles cotton millenium rod accessory* [ for a limited time only! ]
Marik: *Angry* I want that Cloud doll dead!
Remita: Hey, wanna see my new invention? It's called, ah-hem: The shredding machine that can shred dolls at 100 shreds per second, powered by an evil Yami's ironic hate and love for a person everyone thought he hated and the doll, especially cute Cloud dolls that Lena has with cute exchangable clothes and comes with three buster swords! ...You like it don't you.
Marik: Yes I do. >D...
Malik: Me scared.
