The next morning Yami woke up and looked down at the younger looking version of himself still sleeping. Yami smiled at Yugi, when Yugi started to stir in his sleep Yami just stood still and waited for him to wake up.
Yugi woke up in warm arms he looked up and saw Yami looking at him and smiling. Yugi smiled back as there was a knock on the door.
Yami got up and answered the door.
"Hello Pharoh would you like to come down and eat the food into the dinning hall?" A young boy asked, He had white hair.
"Hello Ryou And I think I will be eating in my room again today do you think you can bring my food up to me please." Yami asked in a kind voice.
"Yes I can my Pharaoh. What do you want to have?" Ryou said smiling at him.
"You know anything and Can you bring up more food for two people please." Yami said as Yugi walked up and hid behind him.
Ryou smiled at Yugi. "Sure I would love to." Ryou said smiling and nodded his head. "I'll be right back." Ryou said as he left to go to the kitchen.
"Who was that?" Yugi asked.
"His name is Ryou he is really nice and he would do anything you as him do. It doesn't matter if he is asked by a fellow servant or someone high up. Sometimes I think he is just too nice." Yami told Yugi smiling.
After a few minuets Yami heard a knock on the door. Yami opened it again and it was Ryou with food.
"Please come in Ryou." Yami said smiling at Ryou.
Ryou nodded and came into the room with food for both of them. "Here you are." Ryou said to them and went to him.
"Ryou I want you to meet someone. Ryou this is Yugi, Yugi this is Ryou." Yami said smiling.
"How do you do?" Ryou said smiling.
"I'm good How are you?" Yugi asked smiling back.
"I'm doing fairly well." Ryou said his voice was so kind and gentle.
"You two seem to be getting along." Yami said smiling.
Ryou and Yugi nodded and smiled.
"Well Ryou I know you must have stuff to do today don't you?" Yami asked looking at him.
"Yes actually I do. Well I better get going." Ryou said as he left.
"Hey Yami do you think I can spend some time with Ryou later?" Yugi asked smiling at Yami.
"I suppose you could." Yami said smiling. "Please eat." Yami said eating his food smiling.
Yugi smiled and ate the food too he was so excited that he might have just made a friend in this place. Soon Yugi and Yami got done eating and then they looked at each other.
"I have to go to the throne room. Then can you show me who the guard was that hurt you?" Yami asked
Yugi nodded, but Yugi felt scared in his mind.
Yami looked at Yugi and felt something he felt scared, but he was never this scared and he had no need to be scared now so it had to be what Yugi was feeling. "Why can I feel what you are feeling?" Yami asked Yugi.
Yugi looked at Yami. "What do you mean?" Yugi asked still scared.
"Somehow I can feel your emotions I feel that you are really scared about pointing out the guard and getting hurt because of it." Yami told Yugi.
"I don't know." Yugi said.
"Somehow I'm thinking that we have got a bond that is growing stronger with each passing second." Yami told him not knowing what to think about it. "Any way let's go." Yami said smiling looking back at Yugi and then walking to the door and opening it.
Yugi nodded and followed Yami out the door not looking into his eye's Yugi walked into the hall as Yami closed the door behind him.
Yami walked to the Throne room, Yugi following behind him. Once there Yami set on the throne and Yugi set beside the throne. Yami did a sign with his hands and someone came over. "Yes my Pharaoh? How may I help you." The man said bowing his head to Yami.
"I want all the guards to come in here I need to talk to them." Yami said.
The man nodded and with in a few minuets all the guards where in the throne room.
Yami looked at Yugi who was looking at the floor. "Yugi." Yami said sighing. "Is the one in here?" Yami whispered to Yugi. Yugi looked up and saw the guard then whimpered and backed up. Most of the Guards looked at Yugi with an confused look on there face's and only one had a evil looking smile. As he looked at Yugi, Yugi curled up in a ball and started to cry.
Yami noticed this then snapped his figures as the man he asked to gather the guard came up to him. "You see the one that's smiling take him down to the dungeon because I will not have someone hurting my slave for no reason at all." He told the guy
He nodded and took the guard that hurt Yugi to the dungeon.
"I'm Gonna Kill You Do You Here Me!" The Guard yelled.
"Make sure that he is chained up." Yami said looking at Yugi.
The other Guards looked at the Guard being drug away with shock. Then They turned to there Pharaoh for some answers.
"Ok here is the deal. No One Hurts The Boy But Me Got That If I Find Out That Any Of You Have Hurt Him Without My Approval!" Yami said in a stern yet kind voice.
Yugi was just curled up in a ball beside the throne chair crying. Yami got up and bent down to Yugi who was in a ball.
"Little One, Nothing is going to happen to you I will make sure of that." Yami told Yugi.
"No he's gonna hurt me you heard him he's gonna kill me." Yugi said scared out of his mind.
Yami felt that he was scared so he tried something else. Yami thought since I can feel his feelings he can feel mine. So Yami sent a wave of reassurance to Yugi. Yugi got that and looked up in shock at him not knowing what to do.
"See I told you it was going to be ok." Yami told Yugi.
Yugi nodded and wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and cried into his shoulder's. Yami was shocked that he did that, but let him cry.
"It's going to be ok Yugi." Yami said using his name everyone looked at him shocked. "Guards your dismissed." Yami told him as he held Yugi comforting him.
The Guards nodded and left the room to go back to there post.
Yami just held Yugi smiling at him. "It's ok Yugi it really is." He said in gentle voice.
Once Yugi calmed down Yami let him go as Yugi sniffed and coughed.
"Your gonna make yourself sick." Yami told him looking at him with calm and gently.
"I can't help it I feel weak because I can't protect myself." Yugi said sighing.
"It's not your fault I probably would be weak too, If I grew up like you did. I'm only strong because of where I was made to be strong." Yami said looking at him sighing. "My dad told me that being kind is showing weakness, So Every time I would stand up for something I believed in he would punish me." Yami whispered to Yugi.
Yugi looked at him and sighed. "Really?" Yugi asked.
"Yes he would." Yami said looking at him sighing. Yami got up with Yugi in his arms. "I think that we are going to retire for the night." Yami told everyone on the computer.
Everyone in the room nodded and took Yugi back to the room and laid him on the bed. "Would you like to take a bath or go to bed?" Yami asked
"I don't know." Yugi said knowing that he would always take cold baths and he hated it.
"It's gonna be a warm bath." Yami said.
Yugi's eye's widen and he nodded. "Yes please if it is warm I don't like cold baths."
Yami smiled and laughed a little. "The bathroom is threw there." Yami said pointing to a door next to his room.
Yugi started to go over to it then turned around. "Are you going to take a bath?" Yugi said.
"Maybe later." Yami said
"But if you want the water will get cold." Yugi said blushing.
"Are you saying you want me to take a bath with you?" Yami said his eye brow raised.
"If you want to. It will be cold if either one of us wait." Yugi said blushing a lot.
"Well if you want too." Yami said smiling and went into the bathroom with Yugi.
Yugi blushed as he took off his clothes and Yami did the same. Yami got in one side and Yugi got in on the other side smiling and starting to clean themselves. Yugi smiled as the water felt really good. Yami just laughed when he saw Yugi play in the bath. Yami cleaned himself the pulled Yugi close to him. "You need to stop playing and actually clean." Yami said holding Yugi down as he helped get the dirt off of Yugi
Yugi giggled and was acting like a 5 year old.
"Yugi how old are you?" Yami asked.
"16.….." Yugi said looking at Yami with his big eye's looking at him.
"You don't act like your 16." Yami said looking at Yugi.
"Well how old are you.?" Yugi asked looking at him with innocent looking eye's looking at Yami.
"18.…" Yami said looking at Yugi.
"So your still a teenager you should learn to live and have fun." Yugi said looking at him.
"I am Pharaoh. Pharaoh's don't have fun." Yami said.
"Have you ever had fun?" Yugi asked.
"Yes when I was younger. Maybe when I was 7." Yami told him.
"Yami you need to learn to have fun. I'll teach you how to have fun." Yugi said smiling as he got done cleaning himself he got out and dried off.
