Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. We all know this *sigh* I find this completely pointless since everyone knows I don't. I don't own anything substantial really, and I am lucky I have a computer and a brain. So lets just get on with this
An Ever-Shifting Balance
Chapter One-Observations
Yami sighed and threw his cape behind him. He had finially set his advisors away. He needed some peace, time alone and not to be pestered about his duties to Egypt. The distant sound of whips cracking, filled his ears. It was a familiar sound.
There are way too many slaves here... Yami thought as he lounged on his couch.The days never changed. It was always the same. The Balance was always the same. Thats just how Ra intended things to be... Yami let his mind wander.
Even though the Balance hadn't shifted yet, he needed something substantial to do. Perhaps look at the slaves? He needed more servants in the palace. Laborers were good choices. They were somewhat disciplined in working. Yami needed to see someone cower in fear below him. It gave him confidence. Yami stood with a groan and walked outside.

Yugi doggedly bent down in the mud and continued to step on the mixture of mud and straw. That is what he did. Prepare the mixture to be poured into brick molds for temples.
Yugi stood up straight to push his flithy muddy hair from his large purple eyes. An advisor spotted him not walking in the mud and whipped his back. "Don't you dare even think about stopping!" the advisor snapped.Yugi slowly bent down and continued to walk, wincing at the gash on his back. His filthy hair was still in his eyes.
Other people were working. A girl was chopping straw and tossing it into the pit. He knew her. She went by the name of Anzu. Two other boys were walking in the mud. Both were tall. One had blond hair and got whipped many many times for his tongue. His name was Jou. His companion was the boy Honda. He once threw a punch at the guard and recieved 50 lashes. They all were too thin and miserable.
Jou saw the boy Yugi get whipped. The small boy then almost doubled over to fall in the mud, but then caught himself and continued to walk. Anger built up inside him. The boy Yugi was a very good worker. He didn't deserve that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yami walked briskly to the mud pit. His advisors bowed "Pharoah..." they murmured. Yami ignored them. He wanted a new servent.
Yami reached the pit and glanced at the workers. Three boys and one girl. He looked at each. They didn't seem to notice him. When Yami was walking he saw an advisor whip the small boy in the corner. He would have had pity for the boy, but he was a slave. He was trash. They were all property and he was to get another personal slave very soon.
He walked to the man overlooking everything. Yami pointed to the pit "How are these slaves? How do they work?" The advisor shrugged "They are all trash, but those two are unruly and have no respect. The other boy over there is a slacker. The girl is a slacker too, but they both don't say anything. They are probably to stupid to talk"
Yami nodded. "I want the small boy and the girl" The advisor took his whip and was about to crakc it over Yugi's back but Yami caught his arm. "No...Call them" His personal slaves were to have no more scars, and if they were, he would doll them out himself. The advisor bellowed "GIRL! YOU BOY! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE NOW!" He lowered his voice and turned to the pharoah smiling "They need to be spoken to like that" Yami ignored him. He had a feeling they could hear pretty well without being yelled at.
The two children hobbled to the advisor. He shoved them behind the Pharoah. "Your with our Pharoah" Yami gave a hard look to his new servents.
The boy had an innocent expression, mixed with fear. It amazed the Pharoah that someone so mistreated could stil have such a peaceful way about him. He turned to the girl. She was taller then the boy with brown hair shorter then her shoulder. Her blue eyes seemed to penetrate Yami, searching for something. She had a sad expression on her face, but still looked bravely into Yami's red eyes. He grinned. These slaves will be hard to break. He could see it all ready. They werent kneeling or kissing his feet. Not even the boy. He turned and motioned for the children to follow. Anzu trotted. Yugi limped from the whippings he had recieved.
The walk back to the Palace was a quick one. Yami kept on looking back at his new slaves. They were silent, and glum. They are not even awed by my presence! I will teach them to be awed Yami thought savagly.
He trotted up the stairs, and waited at the top for his servants to catch up. When they did, he shoved both of them violently into the building. He bent down to Yugis ear and spoke loud enough for Anzu to hear. "I will not wait for you again" He hissed, his voice dripping venom. Yugi nodded quickly, eyes wide. So did Anzu.
He grabbed Yugi by the neck and lifted him off his feet. He threw him in a room. Yami then grabbed Anzu and threw her in a room opposite of Yugi's. Yami tiptoed over to Yugi's door and heard a servant instruct him on taking a bath and acting properly. Yami grinned widely when he heard Yugi whimper.
Thats a chip. I need many more to break him...and his spirit. All this trash will obey me. Yami sat on a couch near the hallway, reserved just for him. He ate grapes, as he thought of his new mission. To teach the slaves the art of worshiping him as if he were Ra himself. Now he had something to occupy his day with. This will be very enjoyable

Fin. This is my first attempt at a cruel Yami fic. *Runs for her life as Yami fans chase her* He'll get better! Eventually! Review? Peas? I need help. :)
