In this state of the art prison set on an island a bit outside of Domino City is where criminals whether guilty or innocent are placed for varied amounts of time behind steel bars.
Currently, a line of new inmates are being led into the expanse of the slate stoned building.
The blonde guard with caramel skin and lilac eyes viewed the inmates. Seeing a white haired male with soft eyes, Marik frowned.
Keeping his eyes trained on the ground, Ryou felt frustrated his case hadn't gone through like he wanted. Now, he's here of all places. Being wrongfully sentenced to twenty-five years for being framed for murder isn't something on his to do list. Glancing over he noticed there are some familiar faces here.
Walking behind Ryou was a white haired man with ruby coals for eyes. His arms were covered in tattoos. His white hair stuck out at odd angles. Grunting, Bakura was pissed that he got caught running heroin. It was his third strike, so he was serving his entire twenty year sentence.
Two others in the line are tricolored haired males. One has fair skin while the other caramel. Yugi has amethyst eyes while Atem violet. For Yugi he has some tattoos on his arms too. The pipsqueak had been sentenced for arson due to burning some buildings down. Atem, on the other hand, is another case of being framed for a crime he hadn't committed.
The tall, pale, crimson eyed male walked up to his co-worker. He had black hair with blonde highlights, the barest tint of red to them. His hair hung to his shoulders when not back in the ponytail it was in now. Looking over at the group, he sighed. "Arson, murder, drugs...it never ends, does it?" Yami sighed.
Marik shook his head no sadly. As inmates started coming to the gate to see the new "fish" as they called them, Akefia snarled. He saw his brother being led in. Looking up, Bakura frowned.
Ryou looked down, just moving along though tensed of noticing it's probably his older brother here too. He hoped not too much drama would happen between him and Bakura.
Yami and Marik led the new inmates into the staging area. Yami cleared his throat. "Listen up. Warden Necrophades will be here in just a moment to give you all the head's up. Listen well, don't interrupt, and you'll be fine. This prison is an experiment of sorts and the warden is given liberal oversight. He likes pain."
Yugi raised a brow, giving a look to his brother Atem. The taller male shrugged. Soon enough the said warden arrived. Donned in a leather jacket with a tee and pants underneath to show the contours of his well-built body he also has a pair of combat boots as well. Walking into the room his twin ruby coals examined the fresh meat. "Listen up... There are a few rules here. If there is any fights happening, smuggling, etc. then you will be justly punished. If you behave then you are rewarded. Those are all the rules that can be told at this time. Welcome to the family, bitches."
\/\/\/
Yami led Yugi and Bakura to their cell. "You two will be rooming together. Any funny business, Touzouku, and it'll be solitary." Yami said, frowning. Bakura just shrugged.
Yugi just glared daggers at the guard, remaining silent. Going in, he sat down in the corner.
Bakura crawled on the top bunk. "I'll take the top, fucker. You look like a bottom anyway."
"Damn right," Yugi grinned, going to the bottom bunk to sit on, knowing this is not going to be a good time of his life being trapped in this hellhole.
Chuckling, Bakura thought his cellmate may not be too bad.
\/\/\/
Marik led Atem to a cell. "Stand back Touzouku." He glared at Akefia. Frowning, the silver haired man stepped back as Marik opens the cell. "Mutou, this is your cell."
"Alright," Atem raised a brow, following to where the guard wanted him.
Akefia had been laying on the top bunk until he saw Marik. Standing back, he glared at Marik. "Where are my brothers?"
Locking the door behind Atem, Marik looked at Akefia. "You know where murderers go, Touzouku. He's in solitary."
Akefia frowned, but nodded. "Where's that fucker at?"
Marik sighed. "Bakura is being housed with Yugi. Now shut up, Akefia."
"So, is this the right place?" asked Atem in a bored tone.
"For what?" Akefia asked warily.
"Marik had been relocated," shrugged Atem, looking at the guard for answers.
Though he guessed it had just been showing around. Though, he did wonder about some things.
"Malik is taking Ryou to his cell. Leave it, Mutou." Marik turned and walked off.
"Hmm, ok then," shrugged Atem, going off in a different direction.
Akefia crawled back on the top bunk. "Leave me alone and I will leave you alone," Akefia said to Atem, pulling out the magazine he was reading.
"Alright then," Atem went to the bottom bunk, deciding it best to ignore him, hoping Yugi would be ok.
\/\/\/
The psychotic twin brother to Malik took Ryou to his cell. Locking him in, he frowned. "Never took you for a murderer bunny." Malik said, locking the door behind him.
"Um, I was framed," Ryou looked down, going to sit on one of the empty bunks, picking the bottom one.
"I want to believe you, Ry...but I hear that every day." Malik shrugged, his crimson tinged eyes sparkling with sadness.
"Oh," frowned Ryou, sighing in resignation.
"See ya, Ry," Malik said, walking off.
"Bye," said Ryou quietly, sighing in uncertainty of what to do with being trapped here.
\/\/\/
Malik, only playing to be a guard because it had been told it would be good for him, returned to his cell room. Apparently he'd have a new inmate with him. Seeing Bakura he smirked in approval of who he'd be with for now on.
Bakura looked up. "What the hell? This is a two person cell Psycho. Shrimp's already in the bottom bunk, so I guess you got kicked out."
"Huh?" Yugi looked at him, assessing the blonde curiously. "Oh, I understand. I gotta go be with Ry. You do know he's alone, right muffin? That's probably the reason why Mal's here."
"Yep," sweatdropped Malik. "Besides, they only gave me this job to keep me occupied instead of causing trouble I guess. So, I'm not really an official guard..."
Bakura growled. "Then take Shrimp to my brother. Nothing better happen to him." he glared at Malik.
"Aye aye oh mighty fluffer," Malik joked, grabbing Yugi by the elbow gently, leading him out to be put into Ryou's place, opening it to put him inside to then relock it.
Yugi went over to hug Ryou, knowing it's up to him to protect him now because Bakura sadly failed. It's something he'll hold over him too.
When Malik came back, Bakura glared. "Is he okay?"
"Yep," nodded the blonde, going to sit on the bottom bunk, having been given orders to be here mainly just to watch Bakura more or less.
"How the hell did you get to be a trustee?" Bakura mumbled.
"It was either that or being locked up in the psych ward," admitted Malik, flopping onto his side. "Why do you even care to know?"
"Bored. Last time I saw you two we were twelve. Wondered where you went." Bakura shrugged.
"Ah, makes sense. Missed you too," admitted Malik. "Um, where I went? Well, my sister figured I was too unhinged to be around people. So, I was sent off a year or two after we last met."
"I didn't fucking say I missed you. I said Fucking wondered where you went."
"Same thing," he smiled fondly.
Bakura just grunted as the lights went out.
\/\/\/
The next morning, Yugi awoke to baritone. "Time to get up," Yami said from the door. "Here is your breakfast."
Yugi flinched, but recomposed himself. Remaining stoic he just accepted it, shooting a glare at him though didn't give him any attention. He knew the rules. If he spoke to the guards and such then trouble would soon come to follow him.
Yami handed a tray to Yugi and a tray to Ryou. "I'll come back to get you all for your hour of free time. Since Malik switched the rooming around on you, you don't get regular yard time, Mutou, since you are in here, which is essentially lock down. Sorry." Yami shrugged.
"Ok," Ryou nodded, sitting on the floor beside the shorter male as they ate though Yugi just ignored Yami knowing the apology isn't sincere.
Yami shook his head. Inmates were usually assholes. He was used to it. Better they be quiet than loud and violent. Still, he felt a pull towards the smaller blonde. He didn't know why, but he didn't like it. However, he hoped to get a promotion soon, so he couldn't ask to be taken off this shift. That'd raise questions.
"What?" snapped Yugi, feeling as if he's being stared at, glowering at the taller almost look alike.
"Nothing...uhm, actually, Mutou, come with me. I'm going to take you to do your commissary." Yami said, looking at something out of sight. "Hands through the bars so I can cuff you."
He put his hands through the bars, "There, happy now?"
Cuffing Yugi, Yami nodded, opening the doors. "Come with me, Mutou." As he led Yugi down the hall, Marik passed him. "You owe me." Yami hissed to Marik, who nodded, hurrying.
"So, where we going?" asked Yugi in a bored tone, keeping barely in step with him.
"To do commissary." Yami said. Taking him to a small room with a desk, Yami motioned for Yugi to sit. Sitting in the other chair, Yami pulled out a paper, pushing it over towards Yugi. "Tell me what you want and I'll place the order. We do it in the computer so we have access to your books at the same time." Yami pulled something up on the screen.
"Hmm, ok then," he accepted the paper, looking at it, knowing he had no hope of getting matches so he just went for some books instead because then he and Ryou could read together.
Nodding, Yami entered the notes. Checking his watch, he sighed. "Just sit tight for a few more minutes, then I can take you back."
"Fine," shrugged Yugi, looking at his hands, bored of just sitting around.
Meanwhile, Marik walked up to Ryou's cell. "Ry?" Marik asked quietly.
"Huh? Yes?" the almond eyed brit asked, looking over to see him, wondering why a guard wanted to see him though.
Marik looked at Ryou. "Over here, hands through the bars so I can cuff you."
"Oh, s-sure," Ryou put his hands through the bars, hoping this isn't anything bad.
Taking Ryou to a smaller room, Marik shut the door. Uncuffing Ryou, he hugged him tightly.
"I'm so sorry you're in here."
"It's ok," he said softly, not expecting this though accepted the hug.
"Do you remember me?" Marik asked quietly.
"I don't know," admitted Ryou, looking up into those lilac lavender eyes.
Marik pulled back. "S...sorry. We knew each other when we were kids. I haven't seen you since I was about ten." Marik whispered, feeling foolish.
"Oh... I do remember you, but it's fuzzy," admitted Ryou with an apologetic look, hugging him this time to hope to help.
Blushing, Marik smiled. "I'm sorry...I'll do what I can to make your stay pleasurable. But please don't tell anyone, or I'll be in trouble." Marik asked pleadingly.
"Of course. Thanks," he shed a faint smile, hoping he won't get in trouble for seeing him now.
"I'll set up a way for you to see your brothers, just give me some time, okay?" Marik asked.
"Yes, I will. Thank you," Ryou hugged him again, glad that Marik would help him out in here.
Nodding, he cuffed him and took him back to the cell. Walking by the door, he knocked. Yami looked up and nodded. "Time to go back," Yami said, escorting Yugi back to his cell.
Giving a nod, Yugi followed to go back into the cell with Ryou.
\/\/\/
Akefia woke up, crawling off the bed and stripping to change clothes.
Hearing the sound, Atem woke up as well. Looking away he didn't really know what to feel.
Akefia slipped on his clothes. Looking over at Atem, he shrugged. "Bell will go off. It'll be morning call, we'll have to step outside for count, then we can go to breakfast."
"Makes sense," he stretched, taking off his clothes to put on the fresh pair that's given to them at the start of each day if they want something clean, finishing to put them on to then wait for the call to go off.
"You're fuckin' hot. You want to bottom some time, let me know. There are ways around the guards." Akefia said, his eyes dark, as he has no qualms with his sexuality.
"How?" Atem wanted to know, curious of what type of ways he could get around them.
Akefia smirked. "I have my ways. I been here five, got another 15 before I can parole. Assault and robbery. What did you do?" Akefia asked.
"I was framed for a crime I didn't commit," grimaced Atem, doubting he would believe him.
"You will fit right in here." Akefia chuckled as the door opened.
"Everybody is innocent here."
"Thanks I guess," shrugged Atem.
"Stick by me and I will protect you, cellie." Akefia said.
"Good," nodded Atem, seeing the door open, figuring they could go out.
Akefia led them to the mess hall, where they stood in line for eggs watery gravy and toast.
When the two received their potion they went to sit at one of the metal tables.
Bakura came over, sitting down next to Akefia. "I fucked up." His head was down.
"You don't exist to me." Akefia snarled, going back to his food.
Yugi came over, giving an apologetic look to Bakura though spoke to Akefia, "Look, your brother is rooming with me. I'll protect him."
Akefia nodded. "Good. At least someone can." Stiffly, Bakura got up and left. He looked for Ryou, but Ryou wasn't allowed to leave his cell. Marik had let Yugi out to talk to his brother, before locking him back up.
Now they're just waiting to be allowed free period or yard time. So, it's just wasting time behind the bars.
Bakura sat silently, hurt at Akefia's rebuff and hurt at his failure to protect his brother.
Malik came over at seeing Bakura is disarray. He put a comforting hand on his shoulder, quickly pulling away so he wouldn't get caught.
Bakura just shrugged. "I'm always a fuckup." he growled.
"We all make mistakes," offered Malik as something to help feel better.
"Yea but your mistakes didn't land your brother in here." Bakura spat, hair in front of his face.
"No, but my brother's mistakes landed me in here. So, tomato tomato," shrugged Malik.
Bakura looked up. "Marik is a guard here, how did that happen?"
"It's a long story," admitted the psychotic blonde, figuring this isn't the best place to talk about it.
Bakura shrugged. Heading out to the yard, he just started walking.
Malik followed after him. The others are given their yard time as well except for a specific few.
Akefia frowned and went over, grabbing a basketball. "You shoot hoops?" Akefia asked.
"Yes," Atem came over, looking at it though he hasn't done this since he and Yugi were kids so it's been a long time from last.
Dribbling, Akefia shot and made a basket.
Catching the ball from it landing on the ground from going through it, Atem gave it a few dribbles.
Smirking, Akefia blocked the shot, stealing the ball and dribbling off.
One of Atem's brows twitched, jogging off to see if he could get it back.
Akefia held the ball, shooting it again.
Atem guessed he wouldn't be able to get it back. Though when the basketball landed again he grabbed it to dribble before trying to throw it in the hoop.
The buzzer went off. "Back inside," Akefia shrugged.
"Yep," sighed Atem, trudging back to the hall for them to be escorted back to their cells.
Akefia crawled back up on his bunk. "It could be worse." He pointed out.
"True," murmured Atem in agreement, going onto the bottom bunk.
