*After school-Archery Grounds*
A sharp twang! filled the air as I released the arrow between my fingers. It pierced the bullseye with a thump! and I released myself from my stance. I breathed deep, letting all the emotion I had, past anger, grief and pain, go. I kept practicing archery until my fourth and final arrow. I aimed it for the arrow that represented the grief and pain I went through. I breathed deep. I breathed in, and as I exhaled, I let the arrow fly, representing the love between me and Yami. That arrow spun, and split the arrow I aimed for in half. I felt better, knowing that love conquers all. I felt a hand clasp my own and felt as another gingerly touched my cheek. I closed my eyes, knowing by feel that it was Yami's touch. His touch alone could make me feel this way........ "Have you decided?" He asked. I nodded, looking up into his eyes. Those amethyst eyes..... Made me wanna melt.
"I am yours for eternity, my Pharaoh." I answered him. He cupped my face with his hands and nuzzled his nose against my own before his lips brushed mine. I kissed back and he deepened it. I kissed back and he kissed my nose before kissing my cheek.
"I will protect you with my life, my Alyssa, my Queen of Egypt." He vowed. I gently stroked his face with my fingertips. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against my own. I closed my eyes, feeling his touch.
*Later that night*
I walked home alone, having a small dagger hidden in my boot in case I needed it. The hairs on the back of my neck suddenly stood on end. Out if the corner of my eye, I saw him. A lustful look in his eyes, the rapist was on the prowl........ And he had seen me. I quickened my pace a little and he started running toward me. I bolted. He laughed, chasing me. I could see him stumbling as he ran. Oh great...... A drunk rapist! I thought as I ran. I was almost home. If I could just make it to the door......... Well, I ended up tripping like the clutz I am, and heard a sickening crack as I landed, the sound coming from my foot. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! No way to run now....... The guy smirked, licking his lips lustfully and I shook bad with fright and I could feel the blood draining from my face. I let out a short scream as he grabbed me and started dragging me to an alley. I fought against him, kicking and screaming. All of a sudden, I hears him cry out and I slipped from the guy's grasp. I felt strong arms around me in a protective embrace and looked up to see a very pissed off Yami. He uses the power of the Millennium Puzzle to punish the guy and then turned to me, his gaze softening. I threw my arms around his neck, crying freely into his shoulder. He only held me close to him and rubbed up and down on my back slowly, getting me to calm down. I still shook a little, but Yami understood my fear and kept his arms around me. "You're safe now, my love. It'll be all right." He soothed. With his words as well as him rubbing my back, I quit shaking and looked up at him. He smiled. "Come, let's go home." He told me, taking my hand and leading me home. But, as soon as I took a step on my bad foot, pain shot through it and I gave a short cry in pain. Yami turned around to see me falling and nimbly caught me. I felt embarrassed. But, instead of asking, Yami just picked me up bridal style and carried me home. Well, turns out, I had broken my ankle. For the next few weeks, Yami helped me with everything I needed, but I hated that I couldn't depend on myself for that time amount. Yami would greet me with a good morning kiss every morning, but he kept it up even when the cast came off.
