There are so many things to apologize for. I'm sorry this chapter is so short, I'm sorry I haven't updated in MONTHS! And I'm sorry all of my stories are being held up due to apology number two.

When Yugi finally stopped screaming and regained awareness of his surroundings, he was met by three worried looks. Joey Ryou and his mother stood over him looking concerned. He held out his hand and they helped him get up from the ground. "Yugi" his mom said slowly "are you ok?"
Yugi gave her a small forced smile and nodded. The last thing he wanted was for his mother to know about the king calling him.
His mother was not fooled by the fake smile he gave. But before his mother could say anything else, one of the cooks came over. "We need you to help us take the bread out. There's too much of it to take it all out ourselves before it burns."
Yugi could see that she was about to protest the idea. "Mom, it's ok I'll be fine. I'll talk to you later ok?" Yugi's mom stared at him for a minute before sighing and nodding to him. She walked off with the man.
They waited until she was out of earshot before anyone spoke . "Now why don't you tell us how you really feel and why." Ryou said, the look of concern still clear on his face.
"I feel like I'm about to throw up." Yugi said miserably placing his head on a nearby wall with a depressed look on his face. He could feel his eyes getting hot but he refused to let himself cry. "Atem told me to come to his room after dinner."
"Wait" Joey said "why would he want you to do that?" Yugi and Ryou blushed.
"I'm one of Atem's... Harem slaves..." Yugi muttered. As Joey worked to get the look of shock and the small blush off his face, Ryou sat down at Yugi's side and started to comfort him, rubbing his back in slow soothing circles
"Maybe that's not what he meant." Ryou said. "Maybe he wants you to go there for another reason."
"Why don't you tell us what happened and we'll try to see if he might have meant anything else." Joey suggested, sitting down on Yugi's other side.
"I appreciate the concern but it was pretty obvious what he meant... He sent my mother away and then he told me to go get him a tray... And I kind of flipped him off-"
"You flipped off the pharaoh!?" Joey said in surprise. He looked like he wanted to say more but one warning glare from Ryou made him be quiet.
"After that he said that he would and he threatened to take me in the kitchen. I said that he wouldn't do it to me here. He said he wouldn't but then he told me to come to his room after dinner so I could pleasure him."
Yugi got up with a defeated sigh. "I really appreciate you guys trying to help me out but we all know what he wants me to do... I have to go take a shower... It'll probably be the last time I'll ever feel clean again..." Yugi walked away from his friends with their concerned looks following him.
Yugi stood in the shower later that night. He knew that he had been told to take a quick shower before going to meet the pharaoh but he drew the shower out for as long as possible, trying to delay the inevitable. He had been under the water for half an hour already.
He sank down to his knees, placing his head against one of the walls of the cold shower. He thought about not going at all and just ignoring the pharaoh. But the consequences that could possibly follow scared him. With a sigh he finally stood up and dressed in the clothes he was wearing before. He walked out the door and found a guard waiting outside to take him to the pharaoh's chambers. Yugi followed the guard to his worst nightmare.
"You're late." These were the first words Yugi heard as he entered the pharaoh's chambers. He rolled his eyes.
"So sorry to keep you waiting your royal jackass. Oops, I mean, highness." Yugi glared at the pharaoh who just smirked down at him.
"You should be honored to share my bed little one. But no matter, I'm sure your attitude will change soon once I have you screaming under me in pleasure."
Yugi glared fiercely at him. "You couldn't pleasure me if I gave you a million tries. I bet I'll just lay there bored the whole time."
"Oh really?" Atem said, his smirk growing. "What do you say to a little bet Yugi?"
Yugi stared at him for a minute with a look of distrust before slowly saying "I'm listening."
"Tonight I will I will try to make you scream. If you don't make a sound the whole night, I will grant your one wish."
Yugi looked up at Atem with eyes showing clear distrust. He could wish for his and his mother's freedom. But something that good had to come at a high price. "And if you win, which you won't, what do you get pharaoh?"
"Nothing. The joy of seeing how high and mighty you still are after a night of screaming my name is all I need. That should knock that ego of yours down to size."
"You must be pretty confident to make a bet like that. How do you know I won't ask you to commit suicide or something?"
"I don't. But it won't matter because there is absolutely no way that you will win this bet. I never loose."
Yugi smirked. "Interesting. Neither do I." Atem walked over to Yugi and grabbed the boy's hips, pulling their bodies together. Yugi grabbed Atem's shoulders and blushed and Atem started to lean down to kiss him.
"Pharaoh!" The two turned to the door to see a guard at the door. "Priest Seto wants to see you, he says he may have found the Nubian King!"
Atem immediately let go of Yugi, forgetting all about the boy. "Where is Seto?"
"He's in the throne room my king!" The guard left, leaving the two alone again. Atem turned to Yugi.
"We will finish this another time, when I have time to win this bet." Atem quickly rushed over to the door.
"Wait!" Yugi said just as Atem's hand landed on the doorknob. "Why did you hide who I was from everyone. You had the chance to make my life a living hell. But you protected me."
Atem turned to look at Yugi over his shoulder. "While you may think of me as a cruel person who loves to hurt people, I am not like that. I want my people safe. Right now my people aren't safe as long as your father is on the loose, but they think they're safe because they think the royal family is dead. Including you."
"Me?" Yugi said confused. "Why would they care about me I'm just the prince. What can I do?"
"People know about you. The famed prince with the mystical powers. And the fact that your father is hated doesn't help you. People fear and hate you."
Atem left, leaving Yugi in the room by himself. He quickly left and went back to the Harem chambers. He immediately stripped off his clothes and crawled under his covers to go to sleep, happy that he was safe. For now.
Atem stood by his priest and cousin Seto. The two looked over a map as Seto pointed out a place on it. "We think he's hiding out here. We have troops there, we can have them catch him if you like Pharaoh."
Atem looked at the map as he thought of all the pain in suffering this man has caused his people. "Have a servant prepare my horse. I will be going down there. I need to see them catch this criminal for myself."
"Of course Pharaoh." Seto said as he went off to do as he was told. Atem thought of the dangerous criminal. He wouldn't believe that he was caught until he saw the man in shackles with his own eyes.
"Do you remember the plan?" Allegiance said to the Nubian king. They were both hiding out in a cave.
"Yes!" The king said "get captured, find my son, and convince him to help us kill the pharaoh." The king looked out at the horizon knowing the troops would be there any minute to arrest him. 'Pharaoh you have won that battle, but I will win the war!'
