Shiver with Me

Elfie: Yeah… This is sort of an original story of mine from fictionpress, but twisted so it could be a story about Ryou and Bakura, but never fear, I have changed a lot in it.

Lisa: It's not that great at the moment, but it will get better… Hopefully

Warning: Out of character a little, YES PEOPLE THIS IS A BOYxBOY FANFIC, GET OVER IT!

Disclaimer: Think about it… If I did own yugioh would I be writing on FANfiction? I didn't think so.

A loud crack sounded throughout the hall, a sickening noise as it came in contact with soft, creamy skin.

A soft whimper cut through the musty air residing within the walls.

"Get up."

Cold laughter rang through his head as he lifted himself from the ground, wincing as the long gashes in his back objected to the movement.

"Yes pharaoh." His voice filled with pain and misery.

The pharaoh raised the whip, his bloodshot eyes widening in anticipation, alcohol induced beads of sweat rolled off his forehead.

Ryou tensed up as the whip tore through his skin, screaming as it laced his body with pain, he fell to his knees, sobbing quietly.

A dull throbbing in the back of his head grew slightly as he lifted himself, yet again.

The Pharaoh sneered as the slave boy staggered to his feet and bought the whip down on his back one last time.

The throb in the back of Ryou's mind exploded into a blinding light, tearing its way through his body as the whip came in contact with his skin. Ryou fell to the ground, everything turning dark.

The Pharaoh looked in disgust at the unconscious slave and waved his hand vaguely, "Iabi… Clean this up." Before striding from the room.

Emerald eyes opened groggily, a moan escaping soft, pink lips. Ryou pulled himself into a sitting position, his dirty, white hair pooling on the stone slab he was seated on.

Ryou ran his fingers through his dust coated hair and wrinkled his nose in distaste. Searing pain shot through his back and he realised vaguely that someone had wrapped grubby bandages over the gashes.

It was then that Ryou noticed Iabi standing uncomfortably by the door. The small seal of a messenger was tied loosely around his waist; in his hands he held a stone slab.

Ryou winced again as the gashes made themselves known and stood, bowing his head lightly in acknowledgement of the elder males company.

"Fifth ranked slave, tagged with green?" Ryou nodded in affirmation at his title. "First rank slave, tagged with red requests your…" Iabi searched for the correct word, "…Company, you are to attend his quarters in 24 hours, starting now." Iabi refused to meet the distraught slaves eyes as he backed out of the room.

Ryou stood for a moment, basking in the silence. A dry sob tore from his throat, he should have expected this, it was only a matter of time.

He fell to his knees, head in his hands, sobbing quietly.

Iabi stopped outside the slaves quarters he had just left. Sighing sadly, He listened to the sobs from the small room. Iabi hated messages such as these, he hated himself for being the deliverer.

The sobs seemed to tear a hole in his heart, wrenching at his insides. Iabi dropped to his knees, the pain becoming more realistic as a dagger was plunged into his back, embedding itself in his heart.

A strong arm tore the dagger from Iabi's back, blood gushing out of the wound and soaking the ends of grubby, material pants.

This person was unaffected by the sobbing, you get used to this after years of being the most wanted assassin and tomb robber in Egypt.

Bakura stepped back from the now deceased slave, his mouth twisted upwards in a satisfied smirk. He wiped the thick, crimson blood on his sleeve, watching as it stained.
