A/N: This is a fic based loosely off both the game, 'Yu-Gi-Oh Duelists of the Roses', and the actually rose wars. A Henry/Yami X Rosenkreuz/Seto fic.
I was getting a little annoyed at there being no good finished Henry X Rosenkreuz fics out there. So here goes my own. XD
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters.

Yu-Gi-Oh; The Rose Wars: Bloodied Petals
Chapter One
Rosenkreuz knew he was in trouble. Not that he ever would have admitted it to anyone. Seto Christian Rosenkreuz never would have admitted any such thing, he hardly admitted it to himself, and only because it was serious. He was surrounded, with no route of escape; they had made sure of that.
Henry Tudor of the Lancastrians was being care full. He believed he would succeed, but he couldn't afford to underestimate the enemy. He had gone so far as to divert an entire regiment of men for this task. There was even a soldier impersonating him at the head of his distant army, distracting the Yorkist forces from his true goal. Today he didn't want to defeat the Yorkist army; he wanted their leader. The ruse he had plotted to separate Rosenkreuz form his army, had been complicated, lengthy, and more than one life had been sacrificed in executing it. Despite whatever difficulties or shortcomings though, it had worked like a charm. Rosenkreuz was now exposed in the center of a narrow forest clearing on the back of his horse burst stream, who though known throughout the land as the swiftest and the smartest steed, now had nowhere to run. The men closed in like a pack of wolves. Rosenkreuz would likely be able to kill some of them, but he would be overcome by simple swarm tactics. As the men came closer, Burst Stream reared up, snow white legs and hooves kicking out in front of him. The mend did not draw back though, they pressed forward just the same. Burst Stream was becoming extremely restless, backing up and turning around, surveying the circle closing in around him.
The men suddenly surged forward. Rosenkreuz drew his sword, there was no time for a magical counter attack or defense, and he couldn't summon his dragon's here to his side, not as far away as they were at the moment. He would have to fight them off the old fashioned way, with his own fighting skills. Burst Stream reared up again and struck down a man with a powerful kick to the head. Rosenkreuz slashed downward and took down three more. He saw men aiming at Burst Stream. He wasn't willing to sacrifice his loyal steed, so he leaped down off Burst Stream's back and commanded her to run home. By home, the snow white stallion knew he meant back to the Yorkist army's camp, so he took off at a remarkable pace, leaping over the nearest men and running through their ranks out of danger. The men allowed the horse to pass as it was not their quarry.
Rosenkreuz held his own for several more minutes before Henry revealed himself. He strode out in front of his men, sword drawn. He glared at Rosenkreuz, who was panting form the exertion of defending against so many soldiers.
"I have you right where I want you now Rosenkreuz!" he taunted, smiling in triumph.
"I'm not yet defeated!" Rosenkreuz fired back, drawing himself back up to his full height, at least two and a half heads taller than the other.
"Ah, but you are," replied Henry, just as the soldiers behind Rosenkreuz, stole up and grabbed him, while he was distracted by his banter with their leader. Another of the men produced a damp rag and clamped it over Rosenkreuz's mouth and nose. The Yorkists' leader continued to struggle desperately for a few moments more, but slowly seemed to lose strength as he succumbed to the chemical.
"Now you are my prisoner," Henry whispered, smirking in triumphantly he leaned over Rosenkreuz, watching the brunet's eyes slide unwillingly closed and his body slump as unconsciousness overcame him.
"Take him and tie him up in a wagon!" Henry commanded his men. The soldiers holding Rosenkreuz's arms pulled him backwards, dragging his limp form over the grass, while another ran off to get some rope.
"We march for the fort!"

A/N: That's the first chapter! =D *Yay!*
This probably won't be a very long story. Warnings; Seto torture likely ahead! I probably won't put anything sexually explicit in here, so nothing close to M or R. There might be some guyXguy kissing by the end though.
Anyway; in this story I'm taking the stand point that Rosenkreuz is more a less in the right and is defending his homeland, while Henry is attempting to invade land that may or may not have been his ancestors and he now feels he has some claim to.
