Chapter 4: Prisoner 227
"Prisoner 227, wake up. The pharaoh awaits you in his chambers" a guard shouted roughly.
Yugi awoke and glared at the man. "The name is Yugi, learn it if you want to live. It does seem I'm going to be here quiet long."
The guard laughed "As if you could beat me. Shut your trap 227"
Yugi growled "You're dead".
They each held there gaze until Dark magician stormed in. "Bring the prisoner in. The pharaoh is angry."
With a glare Yugi said "lucky bastard" before following the dark magician.
They walked the halls toward the pharaoh's chambers.
"It is not wise to pick fights young one. Anyway, how did you get here?"
"I don't remember. All I remember is wishing I could be a dual monster."
Dark magician gave him a strange look.
"In my world people use cards with dual monsters like yourself to battle" Yugi elaborated.
"How odd? Why would you even want to be a dual monster?"
"In my world I just don't fit in. My friends abandoned me and other kids tease me."
"That's not nice. Your world sounds awful."
Yugi smiled at the naive monster beside him. They arrived at a elegant room made of gold with fine jewels on the wall. At the far wall centered was a beautiful throne. Upon it Yami sat wearing elegant and fine clothes of the rarest materials in Egypt. He had a deep red silk cape held on with gold Celtic circle designed clip and a cream robe with fine designs and jewels. Hanging from his neck was the millennium puzzle and he wore a gold crown with entwined snakes on it.
"Prisoner 227 has arrived master" Dark magician bowed deeply.
"About time"
"State your name" he addressed Yugi.
"Yugi Moto"
"How did you arrive 227?"
"I don't remember. I woke up in your castle"
"Don't lie 227."
"I'm not!"
"Guards bring the whip and punish 227 for lying"
Two guards appeared with a whip. One forced Yugi to his knees and held him in place while the other whipped him. Yugi screamed every time the leather bit into his skin. Finally they stopped and awaited instruction. The pharaoh smirked in amusement and signaled for the guards to step aside.
"227 how did you get in my palace?"
"I don't remember. I woke up here."
"I see not even the whips cure your ill tongue"
"What do you want to hear? I broke in and stole a treasure. I teleported in because I'm oh so magical. Huh? Which would you prefer? Which bullshit lie?"
"Do not speak to the pharaoh that way."
"Save it Yami"
"Why you runt"
"Remember how I beat you, Joey and Tristan up?"
"Yugi one day you will regret that!"
"Guards return 227 to his cell, he shall have no food or water until I decide he is worthy enough."
