New Servant
Chapter 2: Forced goodbye.
I don't own Yugioh.

I had lost. It was over. Even if someone did want to by me, I had cause too much trouble. They would never sell me now. "Are you sure you want this brat, Pharaoh?" asked the man who held me. My heart froze at these words. The man I kept running into was the Pharaoh? Oh, gods, and I made eye contact! I will surely be punished. I began to shiver. I had heard the Pharaoh was a fair man, but that didn't end my fear. Even the fairest of men will treat their servants like trash. "Yes, I will take him." said the Pharaoh. I let out a yelp of surprise when I was lifted out of the trader's arms and onto the horse with the Pharaoh. My shivering increased as fear flooded me.

The poor boy was shivering with fear in the man's arms. I pulled him onto my horse and paid the man. He walked away with a greedy grin on his face. He pulled a rope that lead the other to be slaves. Suddenly, another boy began to fight. "YUGI, YUGI, DON'T GO PLEASE!" he sobbed. The trader pulled out a whip and struck the boy. I looked down at the boy I had just bought. His eyes were filled with tears as he watched his friend get beaten. I looked sadly at the boy on the ground. He was as pale as Yugi with white hair and brown eyes. Their eyes met for a moment, then the white haired boy nodded slightly and went limp. It looked like he wasn't breathing. "Blast, cut that one loose. We don't need dead weight." yelled the trader. A man cut the ropes binding the seemingly dead boy's wrists to the other slaves. They left him lying there. Seto got off his horse and went to check him. Before he reached him, the boy leapt to his feet and ran. "Well, he's alive." smirked Seto at the boy's cleverness and acting skill.
I looked at Yugi. He hadn't relaxed, but he seemed calmer. Then, I understood. Yugi had been planing to escape then free his friend. But, fail to escape on his own and his friend had to free himself. I heard a faint whisper "Good bye, Ryou. Let's meet again in another life." Yugi seemed determined to not make eye contact. "Come, Seto, let's go home." I said leading my horse toward the palace. It was a two hours ride back to the palace, and by the time we were back, Yugi had fallen asleep. "The excitement of the day has gotten to the boy." chuckled Seto as Yugi unconsciously snuggled into my arms. "Indeed, he will need his rest if he's to last with Mana. She's been looking for a new face to talk to for a while."
