Me: Yay! I have a new Yu-Gi-Oh! story!
Atem: So this time me and Yugi aren't going to be brothers
Me: Yeah and actually you two are gonna fall in love. But this story isn't all about you, this first part is more about Ryou. Then we will get to you and Yugi
Bakura: You better not hurt Ryou
Ryou: SilverHowl doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! just the plot
Yugi: Please read and review!
Malik looked out of the cell bars. Him and his friends had been there for who knew how long. They were treated as slaves, abused, and underfed. It was just him, Joey, Yugi and Ryou. Joey and Malik always tried to protect Ryou and Yugi because they were not as strong. They were gentle and quiet. Malik was rugged, he had tan skin like the rest of the egyptians. The other three had pale skin. Joey looked average, but when it came to protecting his friends he would become a bulldog. Him and Malik would try to do some of Ryou and Yugi's work. He could hear the someone coming. He looked back at Malik. The other two were sleeping and Joey wondered if he should let them sleep. Maybe whoever it was, probably the guard, would be coming for a different person to torture.
"My prince, do you really think a personal servant will keep Tea away? Why did we come here anyways?" Seto asked. Atem nodded. "That's what I am hoping for. We took over this territory, and my father said there were prisoners here. They may be servants, but at least they will be treated better in the palace. Whomever I chose will be lucky and the others… Not as much. You three should get one two, then ladies wanting to get in our beds again will hopefully stay away." Atem said. Marik thought about it for a moment. Seto seemed to not be interested. Bukura… He was hard to read. The four walked down to the dungeon. Atem looked from cell to cell, everything being so dark. Some of the prisoners were curled up tight shaking, and they looked up at him fearful.
Seto heard a cough, and he looked in that direction. His icy blue eyes met honey colored eyes. Atem noticed Seto staring, and he saw a little figure sleeping. A wave of awe went over him. He had never seen anyone look so cute. Marik saw Malik. His eyes glittered, and kept staring into his violet eyes. Bakura looked over at the other sleeping figure. Never had Bakura been awe struck, but he was as soon as he saw Ryou. Yugi's eyes flickered and saw the prince staring at him. He blushed a little, looking away quickly. "Well I think we have all found our personal servants." Bakura smirked. Seto looked away from Joey and back at Bakura. He hadn't even heard what he said. "Atem?" Seto said. Atem was snapped out of his thoughts. He pulled out the keys and unlocked the cell door. He let them out, but Yugi and Ryou were still left.
"Them two are too hurt to walk. They are the ones who got the beatens most. Me and my pal Malik try to get the beatens ourselves so them two can get a break, but it don't ever work. I mean, us two have gotten quite a few of the beatens, but not as much as them two over there." Joey said. Atem and Bakura both walked in. Atem nodded, and the two picked up Yugi and Ryou. Atem with Yugi, and Bakura with Ryou. As Ryou was being lifted, his eyes flickered open. He blushed a little when his eyes met with Bakura. If Bakura wasn't good at hiding his feelings, he'd have been a dark magenta color. Marik kept staring at Malik, his eyes wide. "I take this one! What is your name?" Marik said as he hugged Malik tightly. Malik was first shocked, but then shoved Marik off. "Malik. Over there is Joey, and that's Yugi and Ryou." He said. "Well Malik-pretty you are mine." Marik said. Seto withheld a laugh, and shook his head at Marik. Atem looked down at Yugi.
So, his name is Yugi… Well that's an excellent name. Atem smiled at him while thinking. "Well let's go already, I'm sure our servants are tired and hungry… And in need of a bath! We should probably get them all checked up by Isis." Bakura said. It was obvious Marik liked Malik. He kept staring at him, and Malik could do nothing but try to hide his blush. "C'mon Mutt." Seto said. "Hey! I ain't no mutt pal!" Joey yelled. Seto smirked at him. Atem led them all out, and they walked down to Isis. Seto explained everything and Isis led the four servants to the bathroom. Joey and Malik took ahold of Ryou and Yugi, and the four disappeared into the bathroom. "I take it as you are in love with Malik." Bakura said with a smirk. "Yep." Marik said. Everyone gave him a surprised look. "What? I ain't no cat, I can easily say my feelings." Marik said smirking.
Atem shook his head laughing. The four came out of the bathroom, with Ryou and Yugi using the others for support. They had a towel wrapped around their torsos, and Atem saw all the bruises and scratches, especially Yugi and Ryou. Marik raced over and was fretting over Malik. "Look at all these scratches and bruises! Isis! Why aren't you doing anything for Malik?" He said. Isis rolled her eyes. "Because he is not in as bad of shape as Ryou and Yugi." She said. Marik huffed, and started to try and wrap Malik's wounds himself. Isis shook her head and went to Ryou's back. Her eyes widened, and upon seeing this Bakura walked around to look for himself. He was immediately shocked. Ryou started swaying back and forth, and Bakura caught him. "I don't think he should be standing anymore. Ryou, how did you.. How did you get all these marks...?" Bakura asked, still dumbfounded. "I-I don't know, is something wrong…?" Ryou asked.
