A place in my heart

Chapter 2

~Timaeus Pov~

I watched the some merchants walk up to the palace gates. I had a few men talk to the leader which just happens to be a very old man who had, a long white bread, white long hair, and cream colored ropes.

I frown once my eyes caught a small cage. There seemed to be something, or someone inside.

I walked over towards it slowly and peared inside. What I was a beautiful little Neko. His amethyst eyes were boring into my own Turquoise eye.

I smiled at the young Neko, he looked somewhat skittish, but other than that completely fine. I took a step back and looked over my shoulder.

"Cargo is just fine." I yelled. I looked back at the younger one. 'I thought I was the last.' the knight thought as the trailer and the others walked inside the palace walls.

I sighed softly to myself. I looked at the ground. "Why is he here." I asked myself. I walked back inside the palace walls.

I walked into the palace and down the hall, and to my chambers. I opened my door and walked in and closing it behind me and locking it. I began to remove my helmet. My black ears popped out and I purred in bliss.

"Much better." I sighed. I took off the rest of my armor, My tail uncurled and flickered just a bit. I purred at the feeling of having balance again. His thoughts returned to the male.

His soft amethyst eyes, alabaster skin, and silky soft hair. He shook his head of those thoughts. He was going to have to wait a year for him. He chuckled at this, the instincts to mate and to find a mate. He knew when the first he laid eyes on him, he had imprinted.

'I am screwed.' He thought with a sad grin, mating season was just around the corner. He sighed and sat down on the chair next to his small table.

He knew that older neko's could even print on new born's so to him it was natural to imprint on the smaller male Neko.

He groaned at this slightly. 'Now sense I have printed how am I going to survive mating season.' He asked himself.

~Yami's Pov~

I couldn't help but laugh at the younger as she stuck his tough at me. "That is very ungentlemanly like Yugi." I teased. He looked at me with a blank look as if to say he didn't care.

I looked over at Atemu who was watching the younger with a calculating look. I raised an eye brow and nudged him with my elbow.

{What do you think?} I asked him though the mind-link.

Atemu kept his eyes on Yugi. {Do you want her?} He asked back.

Yami looked at Atemu with a glare. {He is not a pet Atem, he is just like Timaeus.} He said.

Atemu looked at Yami than back at Yugi who was being forced back into the cage harshly. The old man closed and locked the door to the cage and placed the key in his pocket.

Yugi was looking around the cage, sadly. His eyes were dull. He looked at him with pleading eyes.

His heart ached seeing him in there.

{All right she can stay} He said. He couldn't help but notice that she looked like Yami. Atemu walked up to the old man. "We will take him." He said to him in an emotionless tone.

The old man nodded and and pulled out the key once more. "He is worth 1000 gold." The old man explained.

Atemu glared at him. He looked over at Seth who looked at the man with a cold dark glare. Seth had a son named Seto and seeing a child in a cage was most likely pissing him off as much as himself.

Atemu glared at the old man. "Give him the gold." Atemu growled the old man flinched at Atemu's tone.

Yugi crawled towards the bars and folded his ears back. He was looking at Atemu who was looking at him. I watched as Atem reach out and pet Yugi's head calming him down. I smiled slightly at this.

I knew about Neko's, and their culture. He knew it about a year or so that he will be old enough to mate. Timaeus was mostly likely a very good choice, due to the fact he is a pure blood Neko.

The thoughts left him, once Iris entered the room with the gold and handed it to Atemu.

Atemu gave the greedy man the money and snatched the key from him and opened the lock on the metal cage.

Yugi slowly crawled over towards Atemu his ears are still folded against his head. Atemu gently picked him up and walk away. "Leave now and never return." Atemu said to the old man coldly. The old man nodded and left along with the others.

The priest's and most guards left the room leaving Atemu, Seth, Yugi, and I alone in the room. I looked at Yugi who looked terrified in Atemu's arms.

"Atemu place him down, he looked utter terrified." I said with a sad smile. Atemu looked at Yugi who was shaking slightly.

Atemu placed him down and took a few steps back. Yugi walked away from Atemu and looked around the room. I couldn't help but laugh at this.

~Timaeus Pov~

I got up off the chair and out of my chambers. I walked down the hall and into the throne room to talk to Atemu. I opened the door to see. Yami, Atemu, Seth, and my soon to be mate.

"Good evening my Pharaoh." I said with a curt nod. Atemu looked at me and waved me over. I walked over and stood by him.

"Timaeus, this is Yugi, he was just sold to us today." Yami said.

I looked over at the smaller Neko and knelled down. He walked over towards me and sniffed me. I watched as a large smile grew on his face. He pounced me and nuzzled my chest. "Mew." 'Mine.'

I chuckled. I could understand him quite well. "Later in the future." I said to him. Yugi looked up at me with a cute pout on his lips.

I smiled softly. "Your too young." I explained. my imprinting was already known to him, sense he had imprinted on me as well. This was going to be a very long year indeed.

I looked up at the others how were looking at me with an odd expression mostly likely trying to figure out what I was saying as well as him.
