Joey and Yugi were sitting down in the slave areas. Ishizu was out, so it was only them.
"Hey, Joey, you do remember that you have to go to your master tomorrow right?" Yugi asked.
Joey nodded. "Unfortunately." Yugi looked at him disapprovingly.
"It isn't bad, being a slave. I know you think it's the worst thing that could happen to you, but I swear it isn't." Joey sighed and nodded. He thought that he could handle this until he figured out a way to escape.
"What time do I have to get up tomorrow?" he asked.
"About when the sun is early up in the sky. I will take you to your new quarters." Yugi said. Joey nodded as Yugi left. He was in for a rough day tomorrow.
Seto sat in his bed wondering how tomorrow was going to go. He already knew the rules that he was going to have him follow. It wasn't hard to understand why he was nervous though. He hoped that he wouldn't have to punish the boy. He knew he would feel bad if he had to. He had started to develop a soft spot for the boy.
He fell asleep in his thoughts, waiting for tomorrow morn.
When Yugi came to fetch him to go to his new master, Joey was not feeling good. Yugi just blamed the nerves.
"Okay Joey, I'll help you get dressed into your new clothes." Yugi said.
"What? New clothes. Why can't I just wear these?" Joey asked. Yugi said that the new clothes marked him as being property to the High Priest. Joey just looked down when Yugi said that.
After Yugi helped Joey get dressed, they set off in the slave hallways. Joey was thinking of ways that he could escape, or possibly even kill himself. But there was nothing in the slave hallways that would have allowed that. When they got to his new master's rooms, the guards told them that the Priest was in a bath but would be out soon. So Yugi led me into the room where he knelt down.
"Please." he whispered. Not bearing to see Yugi like that, Joey knelt on the ground but still kept his arms crossed and his head up.
When Seto walked out of his bath, Joey drank in the sight. He didn't realize that he looked that good. There were muscles everywhere and littered on his arms and chest strange patterns. Joey gulped down some air and pretended like it didn't bother him.
"Thank you Yugi. I appreciate you bringing him here. Be sure to tell your master that I wish to speak with him later." Seto said.
"Of course, sir." Yugi answered, head still down. Seto nodded, and then turned his attention to his new property.
"Stand." Seto ordered. Joey reluctantly did so, but with his hands in fists and his eyes staring at his new 'master's' face. Seto chuckled and gave Yugi leave to go back to his master.
Once Yugi left, Seto slowly walked around his aquisition.
"So, what do you think I should do with you? It's obvious that you don't know your place." Joey continued glaring at him, but he refused to speak. Seto admired how he looked in his jewels and gold. Because he was the property of the High Priest, he had jewels to show whose he was.
Joey growled at Seto's perusal.
"What do you want? Why did you save me? None of this makes any sense to me." Joey said.
I just wanted to give you guys a christmas present! Have fun! Hope you got good gifts!
