Chapter 1:

Yao brushed a few stray ebony bangs from his eyes as he stared up at the greying sky, his younger brother Kiku was standing just behind him; clinging to Yao's shirt as he always did.
"Nii-chan? I'm cold..." The shorter male mumbled cutely as his grip tightened on the fabric between his fingers.
"I know Kiku-chan, but I need to figure out a way to find us some food before we go home." Yao folded his arms firmly across his slender chest before nodding, "I'll, have to go into town and find us some money. I shouldn't be too long."
As Yao started to move away Kiku loosened his hold and bit his lip slightly, "Wait Nii-chan!"
"What is it?"
"I can get us some money...I'll be back." As soon as he'd finished speaking the shorter male was hurrying away from his brother and out of sight.
"Kiku wait-" The older male rolled his eyes before taking slow steps forward; following in the direction his brother had just headed in.
Where did his brother plan to find money? After all, it had always been Yao who provided for the two of them. It had always been that way, ever since they were small and had to leave their homes.
Yao was the eldest, it was his responsibility to watch over, protect and provide for his younger brother. He didn't mind it, he loved Kiku more than anything, he would give his life for his brother with no second thoughts if he had to.
'Where did he go running off to?' He thought to himself as he started to walk a little faster, hoping to catch up with Kiku sooner rather than later.

After walking for almost half an hour Yao arrived at the back of a large house. The garden was filled with ponds, fountains and trees of all shapes and sizes. What was his brother doing at a place like this?
The Asian male kept quiet and crept as fast as he could towards the back door of the mansion, Kiku was up to something and he didn't like the feeling he was getting in the pit of his stomach.
"Kiku!" Yao hissed as he reached the door; which had been left open, "What are you doing?"
Just as the golden eyed male was about to push the door open a little further so he could look inside a group of loud voices caused him to jump.
"Master! We've caught someone!"
"Yes! A thief!"
"We caught him red handed!"
Yao stepped back so that he was against the wall, what had Kiku done? There was no getting out of this. They were going to get arrested, and then forced to leave the country...he just knew it.
"Nya! Let go of me!"
The dark haired male bit his lip when he heard his brother crying out, he couldn't leave him there, no matter what stupid thing he had done. He just had to get his brother out of there.
"Stop it! Just let him go!" Yao forced himself to move and pushed the doors open, before him were five males.
Three men who were standing by Kiku; holding onto him tightly, and the fifth was standing in front of them. He was considerably taller than the rest, and wore a thick coat and scarf.
"It seems we have another one, Да?" The tall male spoke as he turned to look directly at Yao; he had deep amethyst eyes and silver hair.
"Nii-chan I'm sorry!" Kiku sobbed softly and bit down on his lower lip.
"Don't worry Kiku I'm going to get you out of here." Yao's eyes didn't leave the amethyst gaze of the tall male. Something about this stranger seemed cold, dangerous even.
"Just let my brother go aru."
"I don't think I will, he was caught stealing from me Да?" The Russian male took a few steps closer to the shorter male; a slight smirk playing on his lips, "I think I should have him arrested."
"Don't! Please...I'll do anything, just please, don't take Kiku away." The golden eyed male felt his heart caught up in his throat as he pleaded.
"What's your name?" The taller male asked as he moved away and stared down at the younger of the siblings.
"My name is Yao." He spoke as he looked worriedly over to his brother.
"Yao..." The tall male seemed to be thinking to himself for a moment before his smirk grew and he turned to Yao once again, "I have a deal, a compromise if you will Да? You will stay here, and work for me. You will do anything and everything I ask of you, and your brother will go free, no one will know that he was here thieving from me."
Yao felt his heart stop, how could he possibly leave his brother alone?
"I...I can't I..." The Asian male stuttered softly.
"Nii-chan don't! This was my fault." Kiku's sobs grew louder, making Yao feel so much worse.
"I can't let you get sent away Kiku..." He mumbled softly, before locking eyes with the cruel stranger, "I'll stay."
"Let the boy go." The Russian commanded the other three males as he grabbed onto Yao's wrist and pulled him close. The smaller male collided with the Russian's chest, and he looked up slowly; the silver haired male was a lot taller than him, bigger than him, he looked so much stronger. There was no way that Yao could take him on in a fight.
"You belong to me now, Да?" The taller male chuckled and pulled the other male closer against his body.
"Nii-chan!" Kiku's voice made Yao's body tremble, "Don't stay here!"
"It's alright Kiku, I'll come get you soon..." He whispered softly, feeling his eyes brimming with tears. Everything was blurred, and he could hear his own heart beating; echoing in his mind.

Before Yao could fully process what had happened he was sitting in a large bedroom, his brother was gone and he was alone...
'How will Kiku get by?' Yao thought to himself solemnly as he moved to sit at the end of the bed, 'How will he get food? Money...?'
The sound of footsteps and a door opening snapped Yao from his thoughts, he looked up and felt himself scowl when the man who caused all of this to happen entered the room.
"That is no way to greet your new master Да?" The silver haired male chuckled and closed the door behind him before making his way towards Yao.
"If it weren't for your voice, you'd appear to be just like a woman you know."
The shorter male felt his entire body seize up as the stranger gently stroked at his hair and then his neck.
"Don't touch me you disgusting-!" Before the Asian could finish his sentence he was pushed back roughly onto the bed, his eyes grew wide with fear as he looked up at the other male who was now leant over him; knees either side of his waist and Yao's arms were now held tightly above his own head.
"Don't, you ever, talk to me that way again. Understand?"
Yao felt his heart racing, but still, no matter how scared he was his pride just wouldn't let him agree with this man's words.
"My name is Ivan Braginski, you would do well not to forget my name Да?"
Upon hearing the other male's name another wave of fear rushed through his small body, he'd heard that name somewhere before, and although he couldn't bring himself to remember why, he knew that it was a name to be feared.
The Russian chuckled coldly before leaning his face in closer to the smaller male's, "I think we're going to have some fun while you're here Yao..."
"Get off of me aru!" Yao tried desperately to wriggle from underneath the Russian.
"Don't make such a fuss Да? You'll only make it harder on yourself." Ivan laughed in an almost child-like manner before slowly climbing off of the smaller male.
"It seems that you think I'll be co-operative aru." Yao sat up and stared down at the bed sheets beneath him, "But I will not stop fighting you."
Ivan merely smiled and cocked his head to one side, "We shall see Yao...we shall see, maybe I should leave you up here a while Да? Allow you to get used to my bedroom."
The Asian male felt his cheeks burn a deep red at the Russian's comment, but he turned his head to the side defiantly as some form of protest.
"Do not leave this room. Understand?" Ivan smiled; an oddly innocent looking expression, something which did not suit the tall male at all.
Yao ignored the other male, and sighed softly; relieved to say the least when the Russian left the room.
'What am I going to do? Kiku can't live alone...he's too young...too naive...' Yao tugged at his long hair as thoughts rushed through his mind, everything that had happened in the last hour or so still didn't seem completely real to the Asian male.
It was almost like it was some kind of surreal dream, nothing made sense...
He wiped away the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes; he had to be strong now...there was no sense in crying.
Yao glanced in the direction of the door, listening carefully to determine if the Russian had indeed left. Of course the Asian wasn't going to stay in this room, the last thing he wanted to do was stay in this place with a psychopathic Russian!
Slowly and cautiously Yao climbed off of the bed and crept towards the bedroom door, for a brief few seconds he pressed his ear to the thick wood; hoping that no one was walking around outside of the door.
When he decided that there was indeed no sound coming from outside, Yao cautiously opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.
Much to the dark haired male's relief, the corridor was empty and silent. He started off in the direction Ivan had brought him earlier, except this time he allowed himself to examine his surroundings.

The floor was carpeted in a deep red, the walls a soft cream. Not that you could see much of the walls due to the amount of paintings that was hung along them, most of which were paintings of snowy scenes or fields filled with sunflowers. Yao hurried down the corridor in silence, praying to whatever gods were up in heaven that no one would find him.
Yao arrived at a large spiral staircase, and cautiously crept down the steps. Each time he took a step down he'd pause to make sure he hadn't made any sound.
It took the male a while to reach the bottom of the staircase but he did he felt a wave of relief wash over him. He'd made it! The back door was in sight...just down a corridor. Although there were numerous doors on either side, some opened and some closed.
I hope there's no one around... Yao silently hoped as he tip toed forwards.
Before he'd pass each of the open door, Yao would peek inside...and thankfully each of them were empty.

Finally he was at the door, and Yao could feel the urge to quite literally jump for joy burning within him...the slender male grasped at the door handle and pushed it down, only to find that it wouldn't move.
Yao tried again, hoping...no, praying that it wasn't locked. But to no avail.
Damn it... The Asian male turned and looked around frantically, searching for another way out...but he couldn't see any. Well, none except for the windows...
That's it! The windows!
Yao hurried towards one of the windows as fast as he possibly could, almost tripping over his own feet as he did so. He tried opening the window, fighting the urge to curse out loud when he found that it was locked too.
He moved to another window, and then another...and another...all of them locked.
Sighing in defeat Yao pressed his forehead against one of the windows, staring out at the gardens that lay beyond his prison.
Kiku was out there somewhere...was he alright? Yao wondered if he was scared...if he felt alone too.
