Disclaimer: I do not own Yuri! On Ice
Yuuri couldn't tell how long he had been in the mansion's basement. After the beast left the only thing that remained in there was the torch that was slowly dyeing and would lose its flame very soon. The floor he was lying on was incredibly cold, mainly due to it being made entirely of stone. Yuuri couldn't help but cry, not for his predicament but for his mother. He could just see her face when she found out her only son is being held hostage by a beast.
"Everyone probably thinks I'm dead," Yuuri whispered to himself, "and I might as well be."
At that moment the door open, Yuuri out of panic ran against the wall as the beast enter through the doorway. Yuuri could feel his breaths speed up as the beast moved closer.
"If you're going to it, make it quick?" he requested as the beast reached him.
"Do what?" the beast asked confused.
"Kill me," Yuuri could barely get the words out of his mouth.
"Kill you? Why would I kill you?"
"Isn't that why you're here?" Yuuri looked back and grimaced at the thought.
"No I do not wish to kill you. I instead wish to bring you to your room."
"My room?" Yuuri looked at the beast in shock.
"Well do you want to stay in the dungeon forever?" Yuuri shock his head nervously. "Then let's go."
The beast proceeded to lead Yuuri though out mansion. Yuuri couldn't help but stay off to the back, even if the beast was being compassionate this one time, there was still a chance the beast could strike at him at any moment.
"Now," the beast began as the two continued walking, "you are allowed to roam freely as you wish in the manor, except for the western half of the top floor."
"Why not?" Yuuri asked before covering his mouth as the beast turned to him.
"Simple it is where my bedroom is and I like to keep it private," the beast explained as Yuuri nodded. "Now this is your room."
The beast gestured to the door as Yuuri entered his room. For some reason this room was the brightness room in the entire place. It had a nice dark green color for the walls and a dark brown wood for the floor. The bed was in the center of the room and pushed against the back wall. Yuuri walked around as the beast closed the door behind and presumably left.
After some time Yuuri unfroze from the spot where he was standing and moved towards the bed. Trance like he moved until he was sitting in the middle of it and started to stare off into the wall. He didn't know how long he was planning on sitting there and he didn't seem to want to.
"Hello anyone in there?" Yuuri broke out of his trance to see a fox standing on his lap.
"What the heck!" Yuuri screamed knocking the fox off his bed
"I told you that was a bad idea Jean," Yuuri turned to see a white Persian cat and an orange striped tabby cat standing at the side of his bed.
"And I've told you to never call me Jean," the fox expressed angrily, "it's either Jean-Jacques or JJ."
"Ignore him," the Persian said to the still in shock Yuuri before jumping on his bed.
"You can talk," Yuuri managed to say.
"Of course we can," the orange tabby said annoyed, "Did you think the idiot lived here alone?"
"Uh no," Yuuri answered trying to think why the tabby would call the beast an idiot.
"See that's why we're here as his servants."
Yuuri didn't respond, he trouble processing the fact that the beast had servants. Even if they were animals, he found it surprising that these three hadn't left.
"Now that we got out of the way," the Persian said, "my name is Christophe but everyone calls me Chris and your name is?"
"Oh my name is Yuuri, Yuuri Katsuki." Yuuri had no idea why he said his last name.
At that moment JJ burst out laughing, "I can't believe it, your name is Yuri."
Yuuri quickly nodded.
"Well so is his." The fox pointed to the tabby who looked really annoyed at the relavation.
"You mean to tell me that the pig shares the same as me?" The tabby looked like he was about faint.
"Oh I didn't mean to offend you."
"Ignore him," Chris said, "anyway we thought we would like to introduce you to the other servants."
"Others?" Now this was crazy. How was it possible that this many people liked the beast?
"Do we have to tell you everything?" Yuri practically screamed.
"Enough stalling," JJ complained jumping down and started to walk out, "let's get going."
Yuuri found it odd what he was doing. He was following two cats and a fox down somewhere in a place where he was a hostage, others live. He didn't even know if any of the others were humans or if they were all talking animals.
"Well here were are," Chris announced stopping in front of an opened door.
"About time," Yuri complained walking in followed by JJ.
"Come on in Yuuri," Chris requested as he entered. Yuuri couldn't help but brace himself as he entered.
While Yuuri had no idea what to except he was surprised to see that every single servant was an animal. How they were able to get any work done was unknown and confusing to him. But what was more confusing was the fact that JJ the fox, seemed to be showing affection to a rabbit.
"Attention everyone," Chris announced causing everyone in the room to turn, "This is a guest Yuuri Katsuki."
At the moment all servants surrounded Yuuri and greeted him.
"Wait this is going to be confusing," Yuuri looked down to see a hamster talking, "There are now two Yuris."
"Good point Phichit," a crane responded and turned to Yurio, "we could call you Yurio."
"What?" Yuri responded.
"I read it in a book once," the crane answered.
"But why do I need the name change and not him," Yuri pointed his paw at the other Yuuri.
"Because Yurio," Chris stated, "he is our guest and that is the polite thing to do."
Yurio let out a hiss at him before turning to the crane, "If this sticks Minako I'm going tostrch you so hard you won't be able to fly for weeks."
Minako rolled her and said to Yuuri, "You get used to him."
After spending some time getting to know the servants more, Yuuri decided it would be good idea to head upstairs to bed. Saying his goodbyes he proceeded to walk upstairs alone but there was nothing there.
Once making it to his room Yuuri found a plate of food in front of his door. On it was some cheese, a bunch and grapes, and an apple. Yuuri looked but no one was there. Examining the plate Yuuri found a note. I figured you were hungry so I brought you some food.
Yuuri picked up one of the grapes and took a bite from it. It was one of the most delicious things Yuuri had ever tasted. Walking into his room with the plate of food Yuuri placed in down the nearby night and changed into some pajamas he found in the closet.
As he finish the plate of food Yuuri concluded that it had to be one of the servants who gave it to him. With so many one could have easily left the group and left him this. Not to mention they could make it without having thumbs. Once the plate Yuuri laid down on his bed and fell into a deep slumber.
AN: Yay another chapter finished! Since you can probably tell I have taken inspiration from Disney's version of the story but instead of making the servant's objects I made them animals instead. Each of them is based on personality or a pet the character owns in the show, with a few exceptions. See you guys next chapter.
