Chapter 3

Yusei was exhausted, the rain had stopped but he hadn't. He didn't want to return to this father's castle. But as he was running, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

"Dam," he cursed, "What do I do now?"

He tried to stand but with little success. He collapsed onto the ground in pain. Then he heard something behind. He froze and instantly reached for his sword. Even injured, he would defend for his life. No matter the cost. He whipped around but didn't see anyone. The forest was quiet, but Yusei kept his guard listening to his surroundings.

Five minutes passed, and nothing happened. Deciding it was nothing he loosened his grip. Big mistake. Rising from the grove, a guard attacked him from behind. Yusei, being the finest swordsman in his kingdom, immediately drew his sword and blocked it. Unfortunately by reflex, Yusei jumped onto a branch in a tree, and the sharp pain in his ankle caused him to drop his sword and fall to the ground.

"Over here," the guard shouted, "I need help."

The rest of the guards came running surrounding Yusei, who looked at them helplessly. "Wow, Did you catch this yourself?" asked one.

"My my, what do we have here. Hey! We caught a little mouse!" the guard named Alphonse laughed.

"Hm, the little thing doesn't look very comfortable." sneered another, "What if we played with it for a bit?"

"Hands off guys!" Alphonse said, "remember what Lord Kiryu told us! If we find someone not too unpleasant looking from the south, we'll take it. And it seems we have."

The other guarded sighed, "Yeah your right. I don't want to give this one up, but how do you know he comes from the south?"

"Easy, his skin is quite darker than either the north or the kingdom of darkness." Alphonse approached Yusei to get a better look at him, but he was met with a fist to his face. The other guards instinctively threw Yusei's sword out of reach. "Are you okay, sir?" asked the guards. Alphonse got up tending to his bloody nose. Yusei was trapped! He struggled with everything he had, but it was no use. The guards had outnumbered him, plus he was injured. Alphonse turned to Yusei and said in a threatening tone,

"You're lucky we have given a vow to our lord to bring you unharmed, otherwise I would've had you killed!"

Yusei just spat in his face. That was the last straw. Alphonse punched him in the gut. Prince Yusei, now a slave, faded into darkness.

"Al-Alphonse..."

"Don't worry he just fainted."

Alphonse angrily wiped his face. How dare the little vermin do such a thing?

"Bring him back to Lord Kiryu!" he shouted.

"Yes sir," they replied talking Yusei away. His sword left forgotten on the ground...

Kiryu sat boredly in his carriage, awaiting the return of his guards. "Their slow. I simply told them to scout the area. Guess something happened." Then he saw Alphonse run toward him.

"What's the matter?" Kiryu asked.

"We found something that might interest you, my lord!"

"Oh really? What is it?"

Alphonse pointed to his six guards carrying a unconscious body. The sun was high in the sky and shone onto the young stranger's face who his guards had seemingly caught from nowhere. Kiryu gasped. The sun revealing the beauty of the young man. He was so handsome it was unbelievable. Kiryu had a sudden urge to run his fingers in the boy's hair. He would be a perfect gift for Jack. "Get into the carriage, we are leaving." The guards obeyed and they were off. Yusei's head laid on Kiryu's lap. The boy seemed to have come straight from a dream, it wasn't usually possible to expect such beauty. Kiryu stroked Yusei's cheek then ran his fingers through his cobalt and blonde locks and onto to his slightly parted lips. Kiryu bent down to meet his lips with Yusei's. He tasted sweet. What he would've given to deepen the kiss, but something held him back. He had promised himself it was a gift for Jack. Breaking their lips, Kiryu decided to focus on the landscape, but he couldn't remove the pink shade embedded onto his face. He would have to live with the young man, that seemingly came out of a dream, for the next month. He didn't know if he had it in him to stick with his promise. The next month would be hell for him. Even being the lord of darkness, he was not prepared for what awaited him. He wouldn't like it at all...No, not at all...


In the southern lands, the entire kingdom was mourning, not a sound was heard in the corridors of the castle, only an occasional groan. Aki couldn't hold back her tears. The love of her life, the man who had succeeded claiming her heart and future husband had disappeared beyond the four castle walls. All who ever crossed them had never returned. They were either killed or became slaves. Just thinking about the idea of Yusei lost forever, Aki cried harder.

It wasn't possible... Crow's eyes were shadowed behind his hair. His childhood friend, Yusei, had disappeared. Yusei was also the prince, god knows what could happen to him. Ruka cried silently into her brother's arms as King Hakase paced in circles occasionally punching the walls.

Yusei...Why?

Just then a guard entered the room. Sparks of hope shone in everyone's eyes. The guard bowed and shook his head. Aki burst into tears once more.

"We will continue our search, your highness. We are searching the village and spies have taken the route to the north..just in case..."

Sobs were heard at even the mention of the idea. What if one of the spies ever brought news that Yusei was in the hands of the King of Hell? Rally, from the Kingdom of Pink and Black, Aki's friend, had never returned from that place. She didn't know what had become of him. Had he died? As Aki thought about Rally, she ran out of the room crying.

"Aki!" Crow cried, running after her.

Aki collapsed onto her bed and wept. Crow entered her room and tried to comfort her. He took her into his arms, telling her Yusei was alright and that he was there for her. He knew that she loved Yusei. He put his hand on Aki's back.

"Aki..." he murmured.

"What if he was made into a slave in the northern lands? And the king of ice sends us a message, giving his thanks for him?"

Crow clenched his teeth. Yusei was smart. He wouldn't allow himself to stoop that low. Crow, now, was not only comforting Aki, but himself as well. He knew if the king of the north saw someone he liked he would do anything to possess them. Aki, suddenly, grabbed Crow and they both crashed onto the floor with Aki above Crow. She refused to let go as she wept into Crow's neck. Crow blushed hard and prayed she didn't feel the erection beginning to rise under his belt. He wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes. If someone had seen them at that moment he would have surely been killed. By this point in time he was sure he had fallen for her, but her heart was already too far from his reach. She loved Yusei and nothing he did would change that...


Yusei was awoken by a hand hovering above him. His eyes snapped open and, out of pure reflex, he retreated as far as possible. But he didn't anticipate one thing, his ankle. the unbearable pain caused him to fall off of something. Then he remembered everything. The marriage; the escape; the guards. But...where was he? He noticed he had fallen off a bed and sighed looking down at his ankle. To his surprise, it was bandaged. Who would've done this for him? He moaned softly as he tried to move it.

"Don't move!" Yusei froze, where was he? "That's a severe spain, if you try and move, it will only get worse!" The voice continued.

Yusei saw a shadow slowly approach him. Yusei tried to crawl away but his injured ankle failed him. Soon the shadow revealed his true form. Yusei saw a human with silver blue hair who didn't look too bad, appearance wise. Kiryu, at last, saw the eye color of the handsome stranger looking at him curiously. They were a stunning ocean blue even more beautiful than he had imagined. He could see the fear and anger swirling in them. Strangely, this excited him. Kiryu put a hand on the boy's shoulder, smiling when he felt the boy shudder from contact. Kiryu took him bridal style in his arms. Yusei struggled hard but failed to escape as he fell onto the bed with his attacker. Kiryu found himself straddling his body holding his wrists above his head. Yusei squirmed hard but Kiryu's grip was too powerful.

"My name's Kiryu," he started, "I am the king of the land adjacent to yours. Given the tone of your skin you must come from the southern lands right? What's your name?"

Yusei froze, the land adjacent to his? Did this mean he was the King of the Northern Land? He hadn't thought of that and he was even in this embarrassing position with him. Hearing this, Yusei struggled harder. He found the strength to throw Kiryu to the other end of the bed. His ankle hurt badly, but that was the least of his worries. He would never want his first time with this man! Ever! He walked to the door and tried to open it. To his horror, it was locked! He heard Kiryu laugh wickedly.

"So my angel, is it stuck?"

Yusei snapped back around, ready to defend himself in case Kiryu tried anything.

"S-stay away!" spat the prince.

Kiryu smiled wickedly. This boy is just too cute.

"I'm not going to bite, little kitten. Don't be afraid."

"I'm not a kitten!" Yusei fumed.

Kiryu raised an eyebrow, not dropping the sinister smile anchored onto his face.

"What should I call you then?"

"Yusei!" shouted the prince. Yusei covered his mouth realizing what he had just said. He had given himself away! He prayed this man wasn't sadistic and would make him suffer.

"Yusei, what a pretty name." Kiryu remarked rising from the bed.

Yusei looked dumbfounded. Kiryu seemed unfazed by his name. He was either stupid or was just teasing him. Suddenly, Yusei remembered that no one, not even his kingdom, knew his name. Everyone called him "prince" or "king's son". Yusei sighed, feeling a bit reassured, but Kiryu didn't cease to approach him. Yusei watched suspiciously as Kiryu tried to touch him. Reflexively, the prince threw a punch, but Kiryu was faster. He grabbed and pinned him to the wall. Yusei coughed from shock and without warning Kiryu crushed his lips against his prisoner and forced his tongue into his mouth. Yusei moaned into the kiss that was far from sweet as he explored Yusei's mouth savoring every minute of it. A tear slid down Yusei cheek knowing what would happen next. He wasn't ready for this.

Kiryu broke the kiss when he felt Yusei about to faint from the lack of oxygen. Yusei collapsed into his arms. The Lord of Darkness originally didn't like his kingdom, but with him around it was different. He licked his lips remembering the taste of Yusei's mouth. Kiryu blushed and felt an erection that had formed, throb painfully. He stared at Yusei still panting in his arms.

Kiryu couldn't restrain himself any longer. He grabbed Yusei's throwing him violently on the bed. Yusei looked at him with wided eyes.

"No.." he murmured.

Kiryu ignored him and climbed on top of the prince and began to attack his neck. Then he took hold of Yusei's clothes attempting to undress him, but Yusei clung forcefully to them. Kiryu's eyes turn black and punched him in the face. The prince saw stars in her version as he clung to half his consciousness. Kiryu had gone mad. Yusei's hands fell on the bed. Kiryu took advantage or the situation and lifted his shirt. He grabbed Yusei's wrist and pinned them down. Yusei was powerless, he wanted to knock Kiryu out so he wouldn't have to see it happen, but he was bounded down. Another tear fell down his cheek only managing to cough out,

"Stop...Ah..Stop" Kiryu tended to both nubs on his chest as Yusei moaned and begged him to stop. Still tending to his task at hand, let go of Yusei's wrists and rubbed his stomach, using the other hand to unbutton his pants. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"M'lord, I have brought what you have requested."

Kiryu stood up and looked back onto Yusei. His eyes had returned to normal color. He realized what he was about to do as he stared at the shirtless boy under him, eyes dim with tears, panting. If his servant hadn't interrupted him he probably would have violated Yusei! He hid his face under his hair to prevent his servant from seeing his reddened cheeks. Kiryu got up and opened the door.

"Thank you Clara. Can you also take care of him? Let him take a bath and help him dress. I shall bring him a meal afterwords.

"Yes, my lord." She walked into the room and saw, with horror, the half-naked boy on the bed.

"Oh! Have I disturbed you, my lord?!"

"No Clara, just do what I have asked." and with that, Kiryu plunged into the dark corridor of the castle. Clara was petrified! Her master never acted that way toward slaves unless they were willing! She shakingly walked toward the bed. The young man lying there was breathtaking! His eyes were closed. He was asleep. A few drops of sweat ran down his well-muscled chest. Clara looked away blushing. God he was beautiful! As she looked at him, something else also intrigued her. His skin was tanned. Tan skin had been rare in the kingdom of darkness much less in the nothern lands.

"Is it possible that...this boy came from the southern lands?" she said aloud, not realizing the volume she had used. Clara squeaked when Yusei opened his eyes, He turned his head to look at the person who had awoken him. She blushed harder when she saw his eyes. Ocean blue eyes! How gorgeous!

"Well...h-hello." she stammered, "I am a servant who serves his majesty, Lord Kiryu, King of the Land of Darkness. I...my name is Clara. I'm pleased to meet you."

Yusei tried not to tremble when he bowed his head. His chin reaching for the ground to hide his face which was now red as a tomato. After a long silence he got up. Yusei turned toward the ceiling watching it as it were the most interesting thing in the world.

S-so I'm not in not in the southern lands but the land of darkness! I'm relieved but on the other hand...What is going to happen to me? The king of this land almost raped me but...this girl arrived just in time!

Yusei turned towards his savior.

"Hello Clara, my name's Yusei." he muttered. If I want to get out of here, it's better to make friends.

Clara smiled, "I was requested to take care of you. Let's run a bath."

Yusei smiled reassured, Clara looked like a nice girl. All he had to do now was to avoid Kiryu long enough to establish a plan to escape...
