Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Passion, The Pain, The Lust Part II ❯ Power of Love ( Chapter 5 )

~Next Day~

At the entrance of Ashta....

Kimora, her daughters, and Hasina were getting their things packed up and ready to go back to the Palace. Everybody stood at the entrance and watched Kimora and Hasina in tears as they waved goodbye. "I wish you could stay longer, we'll all miss you and we'll be looking forward to your next return in the meantime take care of everything back home for us especially the Pharaoh." Marlene said as they all rushed in to give Kimora their last hugs kisses, and goodbyes. "I'll take care of everything don't worry, you guys just make sure you take care of Teania and I hope to see you back in the city when your finished here in Ashta. I love you all and I'll miss you." After they finally let Kimora go, she waved goodbye as they entered the desert and until she couldn't see them anymore.

Inside the Palace....

Priest Mahado was setting up some last finishing touches for his master plan to trap Bakura. It consisted of leading him into a fake tomb and having his troops seal off the entrance. A tablet sits outside the entrance so that when the sun arises the losers Ka will appear on the tablet. Mana, whom is Priest Mahado's student came rushing towards him and griped him tightly. "I just came over to tell you goodbye before you go I know you'll do great."

"Thank you Mana, I really appreciate it. And even if...........................(sighs) and even if I don't return, I want you to continue training so that you will become a great magician like me."

"I will train hard for you. And when you return I will prove to you that I have learned much."

"I know you will." Shimon entered and stood next to Mana. "Hello, Mana and Priest Mahado. I assume that you are almost prepared are you not?" Priest Mahado nodded. "Almost, I just need a little more time."

"Very well then, just be ready before nightfall. We're all here for you. Aren't you going to say bye to Kimora before you go?" Priest Mahado looked and saw no sign of her. "Where is she?" Shimon laughed.

"She's not here now but she'll be back tonight. Hopefully she'll get a chance to say goodbye to you."

"I don't understand." Mana looked at the two and then walked away. "You've been so kind and friendly to Kimora and I think she will be sad if she didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you. I think she likes you a lot. You'll understand better when she arrives." Shimon walked away leaving Priest Mahado still puzzled about the situation. Priest Mahado went back to continue his work and after he left Maya appeared.

"Kimora is returning back to the Palace. Dammit, I should've known that this was bound to happen. Hasina will pay for this. She has ruined my chance of getting the Pharaoh because she "desperately" had to get Kimora. Why does everybody care so much about her? She is nothing but a poor lowly peasant girl who is in love with the Pharaoh. Why is she so special? Kimora, Kimora, Kimora. Blah, blah, blah. I get sick of hearing her fucking name everywhere I go. Now I know why Asenia and Shana wanted to get rid of her. But I won't make the same mistake that those two did. That bitch is mine."

"Maya have you lost your mind?" Maya turned around slowly only to find Sarai staring at her angrily. "No I haven't lost my mind, just my patience."

"Why are you women so angry with Kimora? So what if she loves the Pharaoh and he loves her, she's not after his riches like you all are. Sex and money is the main goal for dirty little females like you and I won't let you do this anymore."

"You don't understand, I really do love him and he should be with me. I've been there for him many times than she has. I deserve someone like him."

"No you're wrong. You haven't helped him much. You're just a servant. You serve him whatever he needs. Kimora has been there for him unconditionally and still continues to love him even though she had to put up with people like you. I couldn't even imagine being whipped in front of my friends, family, or someone I love.............................................you think you got it bad but you're far from it. If you do something to Kimora I will be forced to tell the Pharaoh. Your nothing but a heartless wench like Shana and Asenia. Your soul is a demon and your heart is black.

You want nothing but gold and lust and will kill all that stand in your way. Well if that means I have to die just to save Kimora than so be it. I should've known that you were putting on an act all this time. When Kimora escaped from the Palace after being whipped you went with her friends to find her just to prove your loyalty to the Pharaoh when you were just lying. I hate you and as soon as Kimora returns you had better start running for your own sake. I'd hate to see you end up like Asenia and Shana. Defeated by the Power of Love that the Kimora has for the Pharaoh and you will never break that."

"You can preach all you want to but who says you'll survive to tell the Pharaoh."

"Is that a challenge? Because if it is you'd better think twice before you move." Priest Seto walks over and sees the two girls about to fight but Sarai stands calmly as if nothing is wrong."

"What the hell is going here? You all are not supposed to be hanging around. Get to work immediately. Especially you Maya. You've been slacking off all day and for that I'll increase your workload." Priest Seto said. The two girls walked away from each other.

Inside the Throne room....

Priestess Ishizu stood silently by the Pharaoh and glanced at him occasionally. He seemed like a zombie to her because he barely moved, didn't talk, and you couldn't tell if he was breathing or not. "My Lord are you alright? You've been sitting here very quietly. Is something wrong?"

"No, I'm just waiting for Kimora to come back. And I was just thinking about some things that's all."

"You mean you were thinking about making her your Queen right?"

"That and I was thinking about Priest Mahado. He seems so determined to do this but what are the chances of him surviving Bakura's Ka? I've seen Kimora use Diabound and it is very powerful considering the fact that it is a God like creature but Priest Mahado doesn't have God like powers to defeat it and I dread the thought of losing any of my Priests if I can help it."

"You just need to have some faith in him that's all. He's a good magician and I'm sure there is a way to defeat Diabound without having to use God like powers. Just trust in him and even if he does not come out alive you'll know and I'll know that he did his best and never gave up on you or your people."

"Thank you Priestess Ishizu I really appreciate this. Your right I need to have a little more faith in him and all of my Priests."

Inside the Temple of Ashta....

Queen Teania was sitting in her room thinking about the Pharaoh again. She was tempted to leave her city just to find out if the Pharaoh feels differently about her but she didn't want her people knowing that she loved him. But her Priestess Ana was starting to see a change in her. She was eating less, sleeping more, and sitting alone by herself. Priestess Ana didn't think much of it but then she started to feel bad and came up into Queen Teania's room to talk to her.

"My Queen, I know it may not be any of my business but why are you so sad? You were happy a while ago but now you are sad. Is it because you miss your friend? Or is it something else?"

"I do miss Kimora but I'm afraid that it's something more but I..............But I just can't tell you. Its not that I don't trust you its just that my people may not approve of it."

"Tell me what it is you can trust me you said so yourself. Maybe I can help you. You can't just hide your feelings forever."

"Okay I'll tell you. I don't want to bore you with a long story so I'll just say it. I'm.......................I'm in love with the Pharaoh. I can't stop thinking about him. All I want to know is if he feels the same way about me or if he loves me as a best friend then maybe I'll feel better."

"Wow, umm, hmm, I uh, don't know what to say. I didn't know you felt so strongly about him. I'm not the Pharaoh but I know for a fact that he loves you as a best friend. It would be impossible for him to love you more than that because he loves Kimora but I'm sure he still cares for you. He's been so kind to you and you've helped him.

What is friend's for right? But if it means that much to you I can send a messenger to the Palace to ask him. You just right a letter and I'll have someone send it. Because you need to stay here. Our guard's say that they have spotted thieves not to far from here and I don't want anything to happen to you or our city."

"Okay then I'll write him a letter. But where have these thieves come from? Could it possibly be Bakura?"

"No, not this time. It's a pack of older men who've been stealing from several cities. I don't know were they came from but if they come here will be ready for them."

"Well make sure we have plenty of soldiers and I'll give you the letter tomorrow. Although I prefer to ask him myself, if there are thieves on the horizon then I'll stay here and protect my people."

"Very well my Queen. I'll check and make sure everything is secured and then I'll return to you with a full report."

"Thank you my Priestess." Priestess Ana left the room. "Its good to have friends like that. So I'll always know that I am never alone in the world. She's right he does love me as a best friend and I'll always be there for him."

But what will become of Maya and Sarai? Will Maya kill Sarai or will she kill her? Or will Kimora handle Maya when she returns? And will the Pharaoh finally express how he feels about Queen Teania?
