A/N:Hi, it's me, taking a break from my regular activities about making Jou a werewolf. Can't do only that for a living. Fierce Child will be continued soon however (for those interested. I love my Jou-wolf and can't leave him alone too long!) Anyways, I wrote this little sadistic number 'cause I've read a LOT of fluff lately, and I wanted something definitly NOT fluffy!! There is mild lime. This fic is dark and disturbing. You have been warned! (mild swearing)

~*Master*~

He struggled fitfully against his bonds, nimble fingers searching out for a lock or knot, anything that could be undone. He found nothing. The blindfold covering his eyes hid the world from him, but he was clever enough to make a few perceptions. The air was dank and hard to breath, he must be under ground, in a cellar or some such place. He was laying on something soft, not a bed, perhaps a pallet or a foam matress. His hands had been bound firmly together, almost enough to cut off circulation, certainly enough to make his wrists bleed as he struggled.

Jounouchi tried to turn himself over, he was too vulnerable on his stomach. If he got on his back he could at least kick out to try and defend himself. Defend himself against what? Jou couldn't be sure. He had been running along the street, it had been pretty late. After having gotten his ass kicked several times by Yugi in some duels he'd headed home. Perhaps he'd stayed out to late, he might have gotten home and gotten knocked out by his father, but the old man had never tied him up before. Plus, since Jou couldn't remember getting home something must've happened before. His head hurt and he could taste blood in his mouth since he'd first woken up. He'd come in and out of consciousness several times, he couldn't be sure how much time had passed. Considering how much his head hurt it couldn't have been more than a few hours. He took a deep breath and put all his energy into flipping over, at least on to his side, and he could go from there. Pain shot like lightning through his side and he was sure a rib or two must be broken. Jou swore under his breath for a moment and continued to squirm himself into a more upright position. By the time he was on his back and half-sitting he was sweating profusely and swearing furiously in the darkness.

A short series of claps startled Jounouchi from his obsenities. Someone was applauding him? "What the--Who the hell is there!?! What the fu-" he was cut of when a strong hand slapped him full across the jaw, knocking his head back. Jou tried to shoot out with one leg and catch the bastard, assuming it was a guy, in the shins, but without vision it didn't work well. He panted loudly in the stillness, his ears trying desperately to follow the sound of his attacker through the room. The sound of something being dragged across the floor came to him, it stopped close by.

Jounouchi was pulled upwards roughly, bringing a scream to his lips due to his injuries. Jou hated showing any weaknesses right about now, but it hurt like hell! He scowled darkly and struggled in his captors arms. Something cold was pulled tight across his neck and Jou thought he just might be about to die. The idea of being killed by some coward in some dark place where no one would ever find him made Jou more than angry. He thrashed suddenly and jerked away from the hands that held him.

He stepped away quickly and tried to reach a wall or anything, hopefully a door. There wasn't mush to guide him but a faint light he could see from underneath the edge of his blindfold. The temporary freedom didn't last long as he ran headfirst into his captor's arms. "Shit." Jou muttered.

The hands shoved him down and held him there, he could feel soft hands tangling in his hair. One long finger brushed against his cheek and Jou pulled back instinctivly. He was awarded with another slap. The taste of blood became strong in his mouth again and Jou had to spit some of it out in order to breath. A low chuckle greeted this. Jou looked up in shock. Even with the blindfold firmly in place he KNEW that chuckle. That arrogent I'm-sooo-better-than-you goddam chuckle!! "KAIBA!!" he hollered in fury up at his captor and the CEO of Kaiba Corp. "What th' hell are you doin'??? Lemme go!!" Jounouchi demanded in low tones.

"You shouldn't talk that way to your master, puppy."

"Master?" Jou snorted in derision. "Like hell you'd ever be--"another slap sent him reeling.

"You will obey me puppy. I'll see to it." the other teen hissed quietly.

Jounouchi wondered absently if he was somewhere in the Kaiba Mansion, if he screamed would Mokuba hear him? Knowing Kaiba he'd have anticipated such an action. Jou was probably no wheres near Mokuba, or anyone else, screaming for help would only get him slapped again.

Jou still tried his best to face Kaiba. "Let. Me. Go." he said as levelly as possible, ennunciating each word.

Kaiba chuckled again. "I doubt it puppy. You don't get to come out of here until you've been properly trained. It's better if you learn quickly mutt. I'm patient, but you're not and this could take along while." Jou heard something clatter down beside him. "I will be back later puppy to commence your learning, for now you can help yourself to dinner.

The blindfold was suddenly pulled off his face and he was greeted with the sight of Seto Kaiba glaring down at him, a smirk plastered across his face. Jounouchi didn't want to give the rich teen the satisfaction of seeing him lose his cool, so Jou simply stared back his eyes burning with hatred. Kaiba turned quickly, his coat flapping out behind him and left the room. Jou could clearly hear the soft snick of the lock, closing him in alone again.

Jou looked down at the object beside him on the floor and yelped in surprize. On a small tray two ceramic bowls sat, each with the word 'Puppy' labelled across the front. One bowl held a generous helping of water, Jou didn't particularily want to know what was exactly in the other. It was brown and lumpy and the smell it gave off was distinctly unpleasant. Dog food. Kaiba had given him a bowl of dog food. What the hell was happening here? Jou's head spun and he felt like he was about to be sick. He was being held by Kaiba and for some sick reason being treated like a dog. He knew Kaiba like to taunt him by calling him puppy and chihuahua, sometimes mutt, it varied. This was going too far, it was some kind of sick game now, and Jou didn't know what the stakes were just now.

After staring down at the bowls for several minutes Jou realized with disgust that Kaiba had done something further to degrade him. If Jou actually wanted to eat, or drink-which he did-he'd have to bend over and lick it from the bowls. He struggled with his hands again, but it didn't do anything but start his wrists to bleeding again. Jou was fairly convinced that there would be a camera in the room somewhere sp that Kaiba could watch him, and Jou didn't want to give Kaiba the satisfaction of seeing Jou try to drink from the water bowl. Jou leaned back against the wall and sighed deeply. Hi head and wrists hurt, now so did his jaw, and he was being held somewhere by Kaiba. Jou gritted his teeth, there was NO way he was going to give in to whatever it was Kaiba wanted. Yugi and everyone would realize he was missing eventually, his friends knew him well enough to know he wouldn't just disappear on them.

Jou sighed again and shuffled on his knees over the pallet on the ground. Careful of his side he laid down gently and stared miserably at his prison until a fitfull dream-filled sleep finally over took him.

Hands grabbed him firmly by the shoulders and he was tossed across the room. The blindfold had been replaced. Jou moaned and tried to roll over, he felt wetness beneath him and realized he'd hit his water bowl. He was jerked upwards by the hair and punched in the stomach. "You will eat the food your master has seen fit to give you mutt!" Kaiba's voice said close to his ear, it had a dangerous cold edge to it, even more so than normal. His face was pushed down roughly and the smell became overpowering. Kaiba forced his face into the disgusting bowl of dog food and Jou's only option soon became eat or suffocate. After a few seconds of contemplation Jou decided he still treasure his ass and was intent on saving it, even if it was only so he could get revenge on Kaiba. That alone was a good reason to keep living for now.

Scrunching up his face in determination, Jou began to eat the food he was being held down in. It tasted somewhat slimy and juicy, an altogether unplesant combination. The pieces of meat themselves weren't in actuality that bad, it was whatever the hell they were swimming in. After several mouthfuls his head was pulled back up and he breathed heavily, glad to pull air back into his lungs. A hand softly stroked his hair, like a master petting his dog. Jou wanted to scream out or do something, but he took the petting in stride. Now wasn't the time, even if he pulled back he'd get hit and he couldn't fight back. Yet. Jou determined that as soon as he got one hand free he'd sock Kaiba to hell and back. He'd break the bastard's spine if he could. Jou was fairly certain at this point he'd be able to.

"That's a good puppy." Kaiba said quietly, an odd note to his voice. His hands trailed down from Jou's hair to stroke his cheeks. "You deserve a drink now." Jou was prepared to be forced down face first into another bowl, but instead felt the rim of a glass placed against his lips. He tilted his head back and drank gratefully, the water was blessedly cold and felt so good in his aching throat. The petting and stroking never ceased. "That's enough now puppy, too much and you might get sick." Jou glowered, as if the water would make him sick, didn't Kaiba remember forcing him to eat that dog food all of two minutes ago??

Jounouchi heard a faint rustling from beside him and then he was pulled forwards against what he assumed was a the table Kaiba had brought in the room earlier. Jou remembered having looked at it only momentarily, not sure why his captor had brought it for him. He just hadn't paid attention to it. Kaiba pushed him down roughly across the table and then undid the bindings on Jou's hands. The blonde was so surprized by the sudden freedom he didn't act, just sat there in confusion. His hands were stretched painfully in front of him and then lashed down to the table. A lump grew in Jounouchi's throat and a panicked feeling began to worm it's way inside his stomach.

His side seemed to scream in pain as he was stretched out and pushed down. Kaiba grabbed one of his legs and pulled it aside, securing it firmly to the table's leg. He repeated the procedure on the other side. Faintly Jounouchi could hear Kaiba chuckling. "I finally have you my puppy. I am your master, you will understand that." his cold voice whisper breathily in the nothingness outside the blindfold. A hand came down on his back and grabbed at the material of his jacket, the soft noise of tearing came after as his clothing was cut from his body. Jou tried to pull away, thoughts fleeing his mind save the instinct to run. He tried to thrash against the table, to break the lashes that held him down. Kaiba laughed.

"Are we scared puppy? It's okay, your master will see to you." It seemed to Jou as though Kaiba might just have gone and flipped his lid. More so than before.

Kaiba's hand trailed down Jounouchi's bare skin, making his flesh prickle in a distinctinely unpleasant manner. Kaiba tugged firlmy at the waistband of his jeans, and then he placed the cold blade of the scissors inside and began to force his way through the sturdy fabric, pulling at it roughly as he cut it away. Jou wasn't sure if he was crying by now, the blindfold would have absorbed any tears he shed. He didn't want to show any weakness, it was a principle of his life to remain strong no matter what he faced, but Jou had never expected this of all things.

Once Kaiba had cut away enough of his pants to be satisfied Jou felt his hands on his back again, the long fingers tracing obscure patterns across his skin. "If you don't fight it doesn't have to hurt that much puppy. You can fight if you want, but in time you will learn how pointless it is."

Jou gritted his teeth together to stop from sobbing. He had thought himself able to face anything and come away smiling, but this was destroying him inside. His stomach curdled and he wanted to be sick, hoped to be sick, but nothing came. His heart was beating so fast that it hurt, he could feel the rythm pounding through his ears. He wanted to cry so badly, to scream and holler and make a fuss, but nothing came. He couldn't, if he did Kaiba would only make him hurt worse, destroy him more.

He swallowed a deep breath of air in surprize as he felt Kaiba's hardness pressed against him. Kaiba was really going to go through with it, this wasn't just some game, the CEO was dead serious. Joey moaned, holding back a large scream, as Kaiba pushed roughly inside him. He could feel the ragged breath of the other teen on his back. Kaiba began to thrust forcefully inside Jou, tearing him and making him bleed. He could feel the wetness of his blood begin to flow down his thighs. Kaiba was panting hard, his thrusts coming faster and harder. His finger dug into the soft flesh around Jounouchi's neck, scratching him deeply. The brunette spasmed fitfully as he came, his breath exploding outwards. He slumped over his victim, and softly kissed the flesh between Jounouchi's shoulder blades.

He pulled out and stood up, cleaning himself off before redressing. "You were good puppy. You'll get better in time, you will learn how to please your master." Jou felt Kaiba's hands working at the bindings that held him straped to the table. Jounouchi felt the hotness of Kaiba's breath before the other kissed him, shoving his tongue forcefully into Jou's mouth. The blindfold was pulled away and Kaiba looked with his icy eyes at his puppy. "You be good and you will be treated well. Disobey..." he left it hanging ominously. "I'll leave you unbound for now. You've earned a small reward. Be good and don't remove your collar."

Jou's hands went uncertainly to his neck. A band of metal encircled his neck, he could feel that it was shaped somehow, decorative he assumed, and a small tag hung down. He assumed the tag would match his bowls. He looked up questioningly at Kaiba, he couldn't disguise the fear and hurt in his eyes.

"I see you are beginning to comprehend what's going on here. You are mine, Jounouchi, now and forever." With that Kaiba stepped back outside and closed the door again.

Unable to help himself Jou crawled naked and bleed back to his makeshift bed and cried into his pillow, a few soft whimpers escaping him. He was Kaiba's, now and forever.

A/N: There you have it. Nice and dark and all that kinda stuff. I've just read WAY too many fics where for some reason Kaiba suddenly becomes this wonderfully nice caring person towards Jounouchi-kun. Some authors tackle this well, others just bullshit their way through it and have it happen too easily. I still loved to read such fics since Jou/Kaiba is my fave couple (I also like Jou/Yugi, but that's almost all fluffy, but it fits the coupling.) Go ahead and flame me, I don't care. Reviews though are welcome. If enough people like it and want this to be more than a one shot (and providing I get inspiration) I'll write more. See ya!
