Ok I'm working on other updates and stories but since i'm in a total panic about exams and can't sleep this is a new slave/pharaoh story focused on Yugi and Atem! Hope you enjoy. I don't own Yugioh or characters! R&R! Oh and this is just the Prologue!

Yugi stood in front of a tall man and glared at him. His hands bound behind him as the man examined him. He growled when the man lifted what little clothing he had on to look at Yugi's body.

"Hmm not much muscle and I see he's a fighter. What do you expect me to do with a slave like this?" The man demanded from the slave trader.

"He can be broken. You can break him whichever way you wish." He said. "He can be used in the kicthen or as a small labor slave."

"He's worthless to me. I want one already broken. Not one that will be more work than it's worth." he growled before walking away.

The trader growled. "That's he third to walk away without buying you. You damn worthless scum!" He pulled out a whip and whipped Yugi's chest. Yugi screamed.

"I-I'll never give in." Yugi said through a wince.

"We'll see about that." The trader growled and whipped him again.

Yugi didn't respond or flinch. He would take it. He was used to it. He'd never give in though. Never become one of their mindless servants. He refused it from day one.

"I'm sure I can find you an appropriate slave my king." Yugi heard a man say. He looked to see one of the market's escorts showing someone he recognized instantly around. It was pharaoh Atem. Everyone knew him. He was after all the king of Egypt.

The trader instantly stopped the whipping and went to his knees. Yugi didn't follow his lead though. By now everyone but Yugi the escort and Atem were down know their knees.

The pharaoh immediately noticed Yugi. He raised an eyebrow and walked over to him.

"You do not go to your knees." Atem said.

"No. I don't." Yugi said coldly.

"Why is that? Do you not show me respect?" Atem asked.

"One must earn respect to get it. I don't care who you are. You will not get my respect just because you were born privelidged." Yugi said.

"You have a strong will. I can see it." Atem said.

"My apologies my king. He is currently being trained." the trader stood.

Yugi glared at him from the side. "Spineless swine."

The trader growled. "You watch your mouth."

"Make me." Yugi sneered.

"Fiesty little one. I'll take him." Atem said.

"What?" both Yugi and the trader said at one.

"Are you certain of this my king?" the escort asked.

"Yes. I want him. I love that fire in his soul. Bring me my horse. I will take him back to the palace myself." Atem smirked.

Yugi glared at him. His bindings were switched from behind him to infront of him so he would be able to walk behind the horse with ease. The entire time it took to bring the horse and bind him to the horse he glared at Atem who smirked back. Atem paid the trader before he got onto his horse. He clicked his tongue and the horse began walking forcing Yugi to follow.

The horse didn't go fast but it wasn't slow either. Yugi stumbled several times before they finally arrived at the palace. He stared at his new living hell. as they got closer he could see other slaves. They were taking care of the stables. He thought that might be his job. He could easily take care of horses. Excercise them when Atem wasn't riding. He'd love that. But what were the odds of that happening?

Before he knew it the horse stopped forving him to stop. Atem got off his horse and turned to the servants who came to take his horse. "His feet need trimming."

"Yes our king." they said bowing.

Atem walked to Yugi and smirked. He untied him from the horse but kept him bound. "Let's go." he said and started walking.

Yugi glared but followed. He wasn't about to be submissive but he didn't want to be whipped for not listening either. He followed the pharaoh to his throne room where guards tried to force him to bow. He just struggled more.

He growled. "No! I'll never bow to him!"

"Leave him be." Atem ordered as he sat down. The guards backed off. "Now little one," Yugi growled at being called little one "tell me why you resist honoring me so strongly."

"That's none of your business." Yugi growled.

Atem looked amused. "Is that so?"

Yugi snarled at him with cold eyes. "Yes."

Atem laughed lowly. "Such a fire in you. I look forward to taming it."

"You'll never tame me." Yugi growled. "They've been trying for years."

"You've never met me before." Atem smirked.

"Bring it on." Yugi sneered.

Atem stood and walked to Yugi. He grabbed his face and roughly pulled it to his. Yugi tried to pull away. Atem's smirk only grew as he held tighter. "Have a bath prepared. I want my new personal servent nice and clean."

Yugi's eyes widened. "No!" he struggled.

"Oh yes." Atem smirked getting just the reaction he wanted. He let go of Yugi's face. Yugi was about to lunge and attack Atem when he was grabbed by two guards. "Take him to be washed. And replace those rags. No servent of mine can look like street scum."

Yugi struggled. "No! No, I'll never be your servent! You hear me!? Never!" he screamed as he was dragged out of the room.

Atem laughed as he sat back on his throne. "It'll be fun to tame that firey little one."
