A Mystic Queen (Atem x Reader)

Chapter 6

The Pharaoh and (Y/N) went to meet Bakura at the palace gates to see what  he wanted from them.  Seto had already gotten into a shouting match with him and then Ismen came from her horse and joined the shouting.  (Y/N) looked at her sister and that is when Bakura turned silent in a matter of moments.  He and Ismen looked at the one that betrayed them and simply scowled.  Bakura then looked at the Pharaoh and smirked at his ignorance.

"Pharaoh, you have something that belongs to me.  Come back home with your sister and brother."  He looked beyond the pharaoh and right at (Y/N).

"I do not know what you are talking about.  You are no brother of mine Bakura." She responded.  

"Are I not. How do you know? You are as oblivious as the Pharaoh.  Mystic!"  Bakura said.

The Pharaoh's eyes widened in shock after hearing Bakura.  (Y/N) just looked back at him and then back to Bakura.

"What are you talking about?  She cannot be a Mystic Bakura ,both of them serve you."  The Pharaoh said confused.

"I did have all of them, but one has betrayed her sister and I to follow another.  One of these things was taking you out of the Shadow Realm behind my back.  She stands beside you as we speak."  Bakura responded.

"Sister, make yourself known.  Leave with us and return home, please."  Ismen heald out her hand to her sister.

"No"

The Pharaoh then realized Bakura was telling the truth.  Everything began to make sense him  being taken out of the Shadow Realm, her incredible healing abilities, his cousin's hate towards her, Shada's secrecy, and her desire to leave.  It all came together and ended with one word, Mystic.

"I will never return to you.  You are a coward that never valued me, you only used me and ever since you discovered who we were.  Always telling me to go ahead and risk my neck before you would even come near the Palace. No more Bakura."  (Y/N) said.

"Fine, it seems  you are now against us so there is no reason we should even try to being you back.  I hope you come to your senses and realize that this man is just using you like a slave to do things he cannot.  I at least held you in higher regard and understood your power."

"I would rather be a slave to him than a right hand to you.  Now leave Bakura."  (Y/N) said in a harsh voice.

  The Pharaoh looked over at her and thought deeply about what she said.  Would she rather be a slave?  What did he do to her to make her like this?  Did he do anything, or did she just realize he was wrong?

Bakura simply looked at her and seethed, as did Ismen and they just left.  They were both beginning to realize that (Y/N) had fulfilled what Isis said about them after the Shadow Game.  (Y/N) looked at the Pharaoh and walked away, until Seto grabbed her harshly by the arm.  Shada told him to let go of her.

"Seto, do you know what she has done for us?"  He asked

"Shada, how can you defend her?  She used to serve Bakura."

"Yes, I did.  I am aware that I will never be able to change my past, but I can and will do what ever it takes to make up for those mistakes.  I saved the Pharaoh, and all of the guards that were wounded are now healed by my hand."  She said breaking from Seto's grip and walking away.

"(Y/N) wait."  The Pharaoh called, but she began to run away.  He went after her.

When he caught up with her she was inside one of the halls in the Palace still looking for a way to loose him again.  The Pharaoh grabbed her arm and she stopped and kept her back facing him.  He did not know what to say to her and bagan to loosen his grip on her arm.  She turned around and looked at him without making eye contact.  He slightly lifted her head by her chin and forced her to look him in the eye.  He smiled at her and she returned his smile and looked into his bright purple eyes as he kept silent. (Y/N) put her hand on his and moved it from her chin.

"I am so sorry.  I do not think that anything I say now can make up for my past.  I understand if you want me dead or gone, I can leave.  Please say something, anything."  She said, he put his hand back in her face and cupped it in his hand. "Why are you not saying anything?  I will leave where I can not cause anymore pain. I promise to go."  She continued and he cupped her face with his  other hand and kissed her without thinking.

She almost fought the kiss at the beginning and then gave in to him.  When they broke the kiss for air he took some of her hair in between his fingers.

"The last thing I want you to do is leave.  You saved my army, my people, and  me.  I could not thank you enough for what you are doing now."  He said.

"How can you forgive me so easily?"  She said still confused from the kiss.

"It is just.. what you said to Bakura.  I can tell you want to change things, make them better.  Also, you saved my life while you were still against me.  I can continue if you like."  He said to her.

She was shocked and thousands of thoughts streamed through her head. He just forgave me for this, everything.  He even kissed me just now to get me to be quiet.  Does this mean he loves me back?

"Please stay with us.  We need you on our side if we ever want to stop Bakura.  I did not know you were his sister."  He said.

"I am not.  He must have married my sister after I left.  If he did then things have gone from bad to worse.  When a Mystic marries it is said that they are bound forever and the one she marries gets a small amount of her power.  However that kind of power in Bakura's hand will be more dangerous than anything he has possessed yet.  His monster will be even stronger and so will he."  (Y/N) said looking at the ground.
