Ok, so you went to the party thing when Wahankh dragged you outside on the terrace to ask you who you liked better. Unknown to you, Atemu was watching from the shadows. Starting in Atemu's POV! QS: "Bet...what bet?" ~~~~'s spat. She looked lived. Yes, it was true; you did partake in a bet with Wahankh that day in the gardens two weeks before. You remembered it well. Your anger had blinded your better judgement. A mistake that could prove to be fatal.
You watched ~~~~ stalk away, leaving you shocked and hurt...literally. Your cheek stung as if on fire. You realized your jaw was hanging sligtly agape and closed it quickly while bringing your hand slowly up to the red hand print emblazoned on your cheek. It stung.
"What in the 7th realm of h*ll do you think you were doing!?" a clearly pissed voice questioned from behind you.
You jerked back into reality upon hearing the words and turned to face the speaker. Your blood immediately began to boil. You had forgotten all about Wahankh after that little 'scene' a few minutes ago.
"What do you mean what was I doing? What in Ra's name were you doing!?"
"Talking and walking! What the h*ll did it look like?!"
"Definitely not that!"
"Well, that's what it was!"
"Oh yea, sure..."
"Just give up! ~~~~ obviously hates your guts!"
"Back off! I'll do whatever I please! If ~~~~ didn't insist on you staying here, I would have beheaded you the moment you stepped foot in this palace!"
"Well, isn't that unfortunate for you?"
"Yes, it is!"
"this is getting us no where!"
"I can see that."
"I'll make you a deal."
"A deal? What kind of...deal?"
"If you can make ~~~~ fall in love with you and admit it by the time of the celebration, I swear to the gods I'll never bother you or ~~~~ again, but if she chooses me then you must stay away from us, break off your engagement, and let her come with me. We'll ask her who she likes more on the night of the party," the nomad exclaimed. With almost no hesitation, you agreed.
"Fine, but ~~~~ must never come to know of this or the deal's off," you stated your conditions.
"Agreed," Wahankh extended his hand for you to shake. You took it.
ok....
'I'm such an idiot. Even if he did win he wouldn't have been able to take her with him. He would have been hunted down and killed and the princess brought back to the palace. Besides, once you're engaged to a prince, you can't back down,'
you sighed at your stupidity then returned to listening in on Wahankh's and ~~~~'s conversation."Bet...what bet?" you spat, your voice dripping with venom. Wahankh's face grew pale as death as he realized his mistake and stumbled for an excuse.
"I, uh, what I meant was, uh...," he stuttered, his eyes flitting everywhere but at you as he racked his mind for excuses.
"Just answer the damn question!" you snarled threateningly, your eyes a blaze.
"It's true, most of it anyway," a new voice chorused as a familiar figure stepped from the shadows and into plain view.
"Atemu," you hiss, all your rage focused solely on him now. "Eavesdropping again I see. Nasty habit of yours."
"It's not a habit, but that's beside the point. I'm sick of all this deceit. No more lies, no holding back; I'm going to be completely honest with you. ~~~~, I love you. I know it may not seem like it, but I do. Yes, at first I hated you probably as much as you despise me right now. Right from that day I pushed you into the lake as children up until...until just recently. Every time I set my eyes upon you, I get a strange but wonderous sensation deep in the pit of my stomach, which only grows with every waking moment. At first this feeling was alien to me. I had no clue what it meant, but now I do. It's the feeling of undying love, ~~~~. An undying love for you."
Your eyes soften for a moment as you drink it all in. Was this a confession of love? Had these words truly come from the same mouth as that little brat that had tried to make your childhood a living h*ll?
"And the bet?" you inquire in a whisper which was almost inaudible. You listened intently as you were filled in on the details of the deal. Surprisingly, your anger didn't flare like it normally would have. You merely stared blankly back letting it all sink in. Without warning, you turned and ran. To where, who knows? You weren't really paying attention to where your feet were carrying you. You barely heard Atemu pleading for you to stop, or his heavy footsteps following close behind. They seemed far away as if in another world, eschewed to the back of your mind as you became absorbed in your thoughts, drowning in them. The door to your bed chambers loomed not far ahead. You reached a hand forward, your finger tips grazing the cold, golden door handle before you're yanked away. A large hand has a firm hold on your wrist. "Let go of-" warm lips claiming yours stops you mid sentence. An enticing scent of cinnamon fills your senses. His lips are soft and warm, making you tingle all over. The kiss isn't rough or demanding but sweet and innocent, causing you to lean in, deepening it. The hand on your wrist moves to your waist as your arms find their way to the nook of his neck. When he pulls away, you find yourself yearning for more. In fact, you have to resort to looking determinedly down at the floor to keep your self-control. Your cheeks feel hot, and you know you're blushing badly. Atemu's finger rests under your chin and tips your head up, his eyes meeting yours. They stare back lovingly, and you can't help but crack a small smile. His hot breath tickles your neck as he lowers his head next to your ear and whispers a soft, "sleep well."
continue...
Claws of light reach into the far corners of your room. Your eyes squint as a ray of sunlight beams on your face. Someone's shaking you by your shoulders. Your head's spinning.
"Go away! I don't wanna get up yet!" your plea is muffled as you hold your pillow over your head.
"No, I won't let you sleep a moment longer! It's almost noon you lazy arse!" your covers are ripped from you as well as your pillow, and you curl up into a ball, trying to save warmth. A moment later a pillow comes down hard on your head.
"Stop! I'm up, I'm u-" you pause before letting out a shrill screech as you recognize the person standing before you, pillow in hand.
Here is where I stop. I'm sure you'd love to know who this mysterious person is, but it's a shame you'll have to wait to find out ^-^. Have a nice day! *waves enthusiasticly* Ok, so if you didn't read the memo, then check out Yoshi-chan7's bakura quizzes. I also apologized for such a late quiz and I'm only going to have one answer from now on due to time consuming reasons. So you got a bit closer to Atemu! He even confessed his love! Go you! Now will you accept or reject? Then who's barged into your room, rudely woken you up, and made you scream? It couldn't possibly be the tozokuoh coud it? You'll have to find out in the next exciting er...episode? Ciao! 
bye...
