My Little One

Arrival.

Soon enough, Yugi shoots up and the wet towel flies from his head and Heba breathes deeply as he regains feeling in his chest. Isis has long brown hair and blue eyes. Aknankanon watches Yugi fly up and then touches Isis's shoulder. 

"I think he's ok." Aknankanon tells her quietly and Heba comforts Yugi as Yugi leans into Heba. "Is Heba ok?" Aknankanon murmurs as Heba winces when Yugi touches his chest. 

"Heba. Is your chest alright?" Isis asks and Heba looks over, then nods but Yugi frowns. "You winced." Isis points out and Yugi quickly removes Heba's shirt, revealing Heba's muscles and tan skin, but also the deep bruises on his sides from where his ribs cracked. 

Isis hurries over but Heba fights and Yugi ends up pinning Heba down but Aknankanon debates helping before stopping Isis and Heba sits up, his ribs already healing. 

"Thanks, Akkie. I'm fine, really." Heba reassures and pulls his shirt back on. "Yugi. You feeling better?" Heba asks and Yugi looks away, a slight sadness in his eyes. "Yugi, did you see them again?" Heba asks and Yugi nods a little. 

"Who are they?" Atem asks and Yugi tenses. "You're safe here." Atem reassures and Heba smiles, then holds his brother close. 

"It's two girls from our past. They're both after Yugi's life because they know he's the way to hurt Slifer, Ra and Obelisk." Heba speaks clearly and Yugi clings to Heba. "They know he's the youngest boy in The House Of Slifer." Heba adds and Yugi holds onto Heba with his fisted hands. 

"Well, it's ok. I'm sure they don't know he's here." Aknankanon reassures and Yugi nods a little before Aknankanon kneels down in front of the frightened boy and lifts his head to see his amethyst eyes before Heba ruffles Yugi's hair and Atem smiles. 

"Father. Are the guests arriving today?" Atem asks and Aknankanon nods, standing up now. "I will go and greet them but you need to be there." Atem admits and Aknankanon nods, turning to Heba and Yugi. 

"We're coming. Your Highness." Heba tells him, acting as a slave and the two boys stand. 

All 5 of them walk to the front hall and Yugi and Heba walk behind Atem and Yami, who are on opposite sides of their father. They walk with their heads down and Atem soon stops and Yugi stops too, mirrored with Heba and Yami. 

The two princes stand beside Aknankanon as a carriage pulls up and two girls step out and Yugi tenses, but doesn't look up. Heba does the same as they move closer. 

"Atem!" One calls and charges and hugs Atem, who forces her back and she pouts. "Why did you push me off? We're going to be married anyway!" The girl teases and Atem looks disgusted. 

"No we are not." Atem corrects her and then notices Yugi's tense form but brushes it off for now. "Princess Tea of Cadonia, welcome to Egypt." Atem speaks with authority and Tea smiles. 

The other girl had tried to hug Yami, but had the same reaction as Atem gave her sister.

"Welcome to Egypt, Princess Anzu of Cadonia." Yami greets and Heba tenses. "If you'll give your things to a slave they will be taken to your rooms." Yami tells them and Tea and Anzu push their bags at Yugi. 

"Take them to our rooms, slave." Anzu growls and Tea smirks. 

"Not those slaves." Atem warns and calls a different slave over. "These are our personal slaves, Princesses." Atem tells them and they walk off in a huff before Yugi looks at Heba and Heba looks back with fear. 

"They survived." They chorus and the Princes look back at them. "Twin sisters born an hour apart, one almost died of a failed heart, the other born with a pure soul, but there was a hole." They chorus and turn to face Tea and Anzu chatting to a guard. 

"We're not safe, Heba..." Yugi whispers and Heba snaps his head to him. "T-They recognized me. I knew it." Yugi whimpers silently and Heba pulls Yugi to stop him staring. 

"We'll be fine. Akkie won't let Tea or Anzu hurt us. Neither will Slifer, Ra or Obelisk." Heba reminds and they turn away as Anzu looks over. 

Soon, a party has started and Yugi and Heba sit alone in the palace garden before two boys enter. Both of them have white, untamed hair but one's hair is slightly less tame. One walks slowly, behind the other and keeps his head down. The other walks with an aroura of confidence in a brown tunic with a golden belt to keep them up. A golden ring with 5 spokes sits on his chest and he eyes Yugi and Heba before his slave's eyes widen momentarily. 

"You two!" The slightly more wild haired man calls and the two boys look over. "Where are your masters?" He asks and Yugi hides behind Heba as he stands up. 

"They are attending the party, sir." Heba tells him and Yugi sits down, slightly shivering. "We were allowed to come here, Lord Bakura." Heba tells him and Bakura smirks. 

"I know. Yami sent me here to make sure you were okay." Bakura tells them and Yugi looks down. "Besides, I wanted to get out of there." Bakura admits and the slave boy shuffles his feet a little. "Ryou, why not sit with that boy?" Bakura offers and the smaller boy sits down slowly and then lifts his head at Yugi, then hugs him, pinning him down and Yugi's shocked, then hugs him back. 

"Been a while, Ryou." Yugi tells him and Ryou smiles, then gets up and pulls Yugi up before Bakura turns to Heba, who's checking his nails. 

"Hey, Ryou." Heba states and Yugi looks at Heba before Ryou catches Heba in a necklock and ruffles his hair. "I see you haven't changed." Heba admits neatening his hair once Ryou lets him go. 

"You know each other?" Bakura asks and Atem walks into the gardens as Yugi nods before Ryou hugs him again and Yugi pats his back, spotting Atem. 

"Yeah. We're cousins!" Ryou admits and Yugi smiles before freeing himself from Ryou. "You're getting more like Heba." Ryou moans and Yugi sighs, neatening his hair.
