"Keep running!"

"I can't run anymore . . .!"

"Keep going, Shizuka!"

"Shit!" A boy with a unique star shape hair that had three colors, black at the base which turned violet at the tips and golden blond bangs, some of them even shot up forming 3 Lightning Bolt streaks, cursed as his Violet eyes looked at the approaching figures. "They are catching up with us!" He warned the rest.

"Kyaaa!" A auburn haired girl with green eyes yelped as she tripped and fell.

"Shizuka!" A bond haired guy with a pair of honey brown eyes gasped as he stopped running and went back to the girl, "Come on, we need to keep running".

"Seems like we couldn't run anymore." A blond haired woman with a sharp violet eyes said through gritted teeth as the men on horses surrounded them in a circle, "Jounouchi, protect your Little Sister".

"Pulled out your swords and summon your Kas." The star haired boy said in command as he pulled out his sword from it's sheath, "We won't give up without a fight." He looked at the blond haired woman, "Isn't that right, Mai?".

"Of course, Yami." Mai said with a smirk as she pulled out her sword, "Cyber Harpie Lady!" She exclaimed with a confident voice.

"Red Eyes Black Dragon!" Jounouchi followed as he pulled out his sword as well.

"Nemuriko!" Shizuka did the same, even though she was not really the type to fight, but she need to or they would be caught by the slave traders.

Yami walked so he, Mai, and Jounouchi were circling around Shizuka protectively, "Dark Paladin!" He commanded with a voice so regal like a King.

The monsters appeared and they began to fight back.

At first, the fight was in their favor, but just when they finally would overpowered their enemies, they managed to get their hand on Shizuka.

"Stop your resistance or this girl will be dead!" The Leader of the slave traders yelled and they didn't have choice but to stop their movement, a sealing collar was placed on each of their necks, causing their Magic couldn't be used and their Kas disappeared.

Yami growled as the slave traders tied him up with a rope, but he couldn't do anything, he could only accept the fact that he would be a slave now. After they all had tied up, the slave traders pulled at the rope tying them, forcing them to walk following them.

"I'm sorry . . ." Shizuka whimpered as they were being forced to walk under the heat of Egyptian sun.

"Don't apologize." Jounouchi said to her, "It's not your fault".

"Yeah." Mai agreed, "We are all tired, it's not your fault that your body had reach it's limit".

"But, if only I didn't get caught . . ." Shizuka protested.

"Shizuka." Yami called out softly, "It's not your fault at all, don't blame yourself for something that is not your fault".

Shizuka bit her lower lip and nodded, "Um . . ." She responded weakly, still blaming herself for their capture.

Yami sighed and looked up at the blue sky above them, Just when I thought our life would be better . . . He thought sadly, Life could really change in a matter of days, huh?

One day he was the Prince and the next he was a soon-to-be slave.

Yami was a Prince, the Prince of Japan, but then an ambush happened, destroying the Country of Japan until all that left was ruins. He was lucky, he and his friends, to have the aid of their Ka monsters, they managed to escaped from Japan. Their friends and family weren't that lucky, their weapons alone couldn't win against the advanced weapons their ambushers had, and they were slaughtered as if they were mere animals.

He looked ahead of him and scowled, they had managed to flee to Egypt, one of the Countries they had Peace Treaty with, so that they could start a new life while searching for who had ambushed them, their Country.

And a new life they got, a new life as a slave.

They had arrived in Egypt about a month ago, and they were on their way to find a town, to find a new home for them, but then the Slave traders found them.

No good, Yami scolded himself, It's not the time to sulk, I need to find a way so we could get away from these people, he thought in determination, the problem was . . . how would he achieve it if his sword taken and his Magic sealed?

He could only wait, for now . . .

To be continued . . .
