Yami and Yugi: O.O
Wow.
Yami: SHE GOT REVIEWS!
Catherine: Gee, don't sound so stunned.
Yugi: Hehe...
Yeah, but anyways...::giggles madly:: I never expected to get reviews for this story! Thank you! I even got a couple comments about my song! ^________^ ::cheshire cat smile:: And I got a DM PLUSHIE! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!! ::huggles plushie:: Thank you DustyStars! ::tackle glomps DS:: (And Yami and Yugi of course! ^^) WHHOOOO HOOOO!

Catherine: OK...let's continue the story now...
OK! ^__^
Disclaimer...
Grr...I'm complaining to Dell about this.
C: The disclaimer machine still not working?
Yugi: Nope. She hit it with a mallet, and it still won't work.
Grr. Well, I guess Yami has to do it.
Yami: ::looks up from a book, stunned:: Why me?!
Because...you're annoying me.
Yami: What'd I do?!
::glares::
Yami: ::grumbles about women and their mood swings once a month:: Well, Snowfire does not own Yu-Gi-Oh. Rejoice.
You could have sounded a wee bit regretful. -__-
Yami: Why?
Because if I owned YGO, you would be SOLID, not called "Spirit" ::shudders::, and you and Yugi would be at eachother constantly.
Yami: Oh. Damn.
Oh, I forgot to mention the denotations in the last chappie.

"So, Bakura. I've been told that you have found a much talked about source of entertainment..." Pharaoh Yami mused, drumming his fingers on his chin. The two were lounging about a private sitting room of the Pharaoh's. The white haired Bakura nodded.
"Yes. A young boy, with a voice truly blessed by the gods..." he drifted off and closed his eyes, as though the heavenly melody were still ringing softly through his ears. Yami raised a brow and blew a piece of his electrifying hair out of his face. His hair was a mixture of red, black, and gold, and it brought out his ruby eyes nicely.
"Is this so? What did he look like?" Bakura opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Well, his face and body were covered. I heard from some reliable sources that Rafael seems very...possesive of the boy..." Yami frowned at Rafael's name, his dislike for the greasy entertainer present on his face.
'He always did give me bad vibes...' He shook his head. "So, Rafael owns him, does he?" Bakura nodded.
"Yes he does Yami," Only Yami's closest friends and advisors were allowed to call him Yami. But, his advisors were his closest friends, so there was really no problem there.
Yami frowned deeper at this confirmation.
"I *really* don't like Rafael..." Yami muttered to himself. He looked at his companion.
"Get Seto. You're going to get this boy from Rafael. Today," Bakura nodded.
"Will you be coming too?" Bakura questioned. Yami drunk from a wine goblet and stroked his chin.
"Well...I could use some fresh air..." he smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes, I shall be coming along too. Just let me change into some less...conspicuous clothes. I suggest you do too," He added as an afterthought, looking at Bakura's rich looking clothing. Bakura nodded and bowed mockingly.
"Yes, my Pharaoh..." He sped out of the room so as to narrowly avoid the pillow thrown at him by Yami.
***
The much talked about boy of late sqealed and backed away as a sweaty, painful grip was placed upon his shoulder. He turned around and his fear filled eyes briefly met those lust filled eyes of Rafael. The man smiled, and bagan stroking the boy's neck softly.
"Don't fear me, little Hikari, " He paused and smirked. "Wait. I like it a lot better if you do. Then if feels so good when I crush what little hopes you have of getting away from me," All the while he was speaking, his grip got tighter and more painful. Hikari fliched back, and Rafael smirked, and began to take off his shirt. Hikari whimpered again closed his eyes, and backed up against the edge of the tent.
"Master! We've got a huge crowd out here, and they are all waiting to see-oh dear..." Hikari and Rafael looked up, Rafael in annoyance, and Hikari in great appreciation, at the gentle but excited voice at the tent flap.
At the tent flap was a frail white haired boy, who's pale face was adorned with chocolate eyes. The new boy stuttered, and Rafael growled in annoyance.
"Well, what do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" The boy gulped and looked at Hikari's now tearfilled eyes.
"The crowd is very restless. I believe a riot may start if Hikari doesn't go out and sing." The boy gulped, and Rafael rolled his eyes.
"Very well. I'll need to...take care of business," He looked at Hikari. "Ryou, get him cleaned up," Before walking away, Rafael smirked. "We'll continue this later, Hikari." Rafael picked him up and smacked a passionate, slimy kiss on Hikari's lips, shoving his tounge in his mouth breifly. In a flash, he dropped the poor boy and was gone.
Hikari looked up at Ryou and then down at the floor, and he began to sob. Heartwrenching sobs. Ryou fell on his knees and hugged Hikari close.
"Don't you worry...It'll be ok...someday, I know it will..."Ryou whispered, stroking Hikari's hair comfortingly. Hikari just sobbed more. Ryou rocked him slightly.
"Hikari, come on...you have to stop," Hikari looked up and sniffed. Ryou smiled sadly. "Hikari, you're the only one that keeps the rest of us alive. You're the one that get's us money. Without you, we'd be dead," Hikari blushed slightly and shook his head, opening his mouth as if to disagree. Ryou cut him off.
"No. The gods put you here and gave you that voice for a reason, and it *has* to be more than this. You have got to keep going. You've got to keep strong. For the other, and for me, and for Jou..." He drifted off and smiled as Hikari wiped his eyes. He helped him stand up and got a wet cloth.
"Now, let's clean you up. You can't sing well if you don't feel well," Hikari smiled.
"Hey, do you think you and Jou remember how to harmonize?" Ryou smiled slightly at Hikari's question.
"You bet. We practice every day almost."
"Good," Hikari said, smiling,"I've got plans for us..." Inside, Hikari was sighing.
'Well, if I'm going to live, I need to make the best of it...'
***
Yami, Seto, and Bakura weaved in and out of the crowds, dressed in commoner clothes with hoods. The newest addition to our little story was a tall, lean man, but not withough some muscles. He was a couple of heads taller than Yami, and about one head taller that Bakura. His hair was brown, and his blue eyes burned with an undying fire. Seto growled as, for the upteenth time, he got shoved to the side by some bulky man.
"Bakura, are we there yet?" He whined, causing both Yami and Bakura to chuckle.
"Settle down, little one. We will be there shortly," Bakura teased, smirking. Yami smirked, but then frowned as a large crowd came into view. He walked up to a man standing on the fringe of the crowd, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me sir, what's going on here?" The man jumped and looked at Yami like he was crazy.
"You mean, you haven't heard? The boy with the voice from the gods is going to sing here shortly!" He exclaimed, and turned around, silencing further questions. Yami raised his eyebrows, and turned to his two companions.
"Well, this seems to be the place," Suddenly, the crowd became silent and Yami turned to see what was happening. There was a boy.
Bakura, taking advantage of the stunned crowd, tugged Yami and Seto to the front of the cluster to get a better view. By the time they had got there, the boy was standing on the platform. he looked out into the crowd, feeling secure, yet secluded, that they couldn't see his face because of the hood. He was about to start, when his eyes landed on three people in the front. He got a strange feeling from them. Not a bad feeling. Actually, quite the opposite. And when he focased in upon the middle man, he felt his heart speed up. Strange, because he couldn't even see his face.
The boy sook his head slightly and dook a deep breath, closing his eyes. He smiled as he felt Ryou and his friend Jou approach behind him, getting a few murmurs from the crowd. Then, he let out one note, Ryou one a note higher, Jou one a note lower, and the ending result was magnificent. Hikari smiled as the result reached his ears, and he continued on with the song, leaving Ryou and Jou to keep harmonizing.
"The same thing keeps happenening
So it seems like I'll never get away
But I know
That one day
I will be saved
My heart tells me to keep hanging on
It keeps telling me to be strong
I know it's the last thing I would do
But my heart still goes on
So I do too
So I do too
But I know
That one day
My heart and I will be saved
We won't go through anymore loneliness
No more strife
And the pain won't cut
Like the sharpest knife
So I know
One day
That I will be saved..."
And the song ended with Ryou, Jou, and Hikari in a soft harmony. After only a moment of silence, the whole crowd burst into a deafening applause. Ryou, Jou, and Hikari bowed, smiling slightly, and collected the money thrown.
***
Yami was shocked. Needless to say, the other two were too, but Yami was focased on one thing. The boy. Not the two in the backround, which Seto and Bakura and gasped at upon first sight. He'd admit, the white haired boy looked a lot like Bakura, but his main concern was that one boy.
So many questions plagued his mind. What's his name? How much will he cost? What his he like? What does he look like? Yes, that question plagued him the most. The hood he wore was most concealing, and it made Yami want to go up to the boy and rip the annoyance off.
He wanted that bot in his palace. With that decided, he turned to the other two, who were staring at the two boys that had just performed as tey retreated to a tent nearby.
"Come on!" He yelled over the crowd. The two followed him to the tent to do some business.
***
Rafael smirked and grabbed Hikari's shoulders and picked him up, forcing his tounge in his mouth with a wet kiss. Ryou and Jou were in the corner, Jou helping Ryou at Hikari's insistance. Ryou had tried to stop Rafael from getting near Hikari. He had gotten a quick slapping. It was "punishment", Rafael had said, for getting in his way.
Hikari whimpered and closed his eyes as Rafael began to grope all over his body, but mainly in between his legs.
'Ra, let it be over soon, please..I don't know how much more pain I can see my friends take...let them get away somehow...' He motioned for jou to help Ryou up, and pointed to the tent flap. Hikari whimpered as Rafael moved lower with his mouth, but motioned again to Ryou and Jou. Their eyes went wide, and they shook their heads. They mouthed their refusal, but Hikari pointed again, but stopped with a whimper as Rafael nipped at the inside of his leg. He could feel a bulge against his leg, and he knew he was in trouble.
"If you won't run away," he part whispered, part whimpered with pain so only the other two could hear, "then leave so you don't have to see this..." he trailed off and closed his eyes tight.
Jou and Ryou understood, and began to make their way to the flap, but almost ran into three cloaked figures.
"W-what do you need?" Ryou stuttered with teas in his eyes. The three figures threw back their hoods and gasped, and the middle one looked back behind the two and did not like the sight he saw. Rafael was doing something to a boy that that boy was not enjoying at all. Something inside of him told him this was not right. He growled in his throat, and went up to Rafael he cleared his throat. The boy frowned.
"Ryou, Jou, I told you to get out! I don't want you to see this..." he opened his tearfilled eyes and saw not Ryou or Jou, but a pair of ruby eyes, smoldering with anger. He gasped and Rafael stood him, breathless and annoyed.
"What do you want?" He snarled at the man. He growled, and his two companions came up behind him.
"I don't believe that's the way to address Yami. Do you think so, Bakura?"
The one named Bakura smirked. "No, I don't Seto. I'd have to say that an action such as that would be punishable," 'It'd better be punishable...' he thought. Seeing that white haired boy at the front crying and bruised was strangely angering to him.
Rafael, recongnizing the names immediately fell on the ground at Yami's feet, kissing the ground.
"P-please forgive me! I did not know to whom I spoke!" He babbled on with apologies, but Yami wasn't paying attention to the groveling man on the ground. His attention was on the boy.
Yami felt his breath catch in his throat. He looked like himself, but...there was something about him...he was beautiful. He was a short, petite boy, with hair that had a mind of its own. Red, black, and a bit of gold, it seemed to defy gravity. His eyes were a pure amethyst, reflecting his very soul, and his skin was pale, as though he had never worked a day out in the fields. His body was covered in only a worn out cloth around his waist. This had to be the boy with the heavenly voice.
"...If there is anything I can do to compensate for the mistake Ihave made..." Rafael was still babbling, but that caught Yami's attention.
"Silence Rafael," Yami cammanded in a sharp voice. Rafael obeyed, stood, and closed his eyes, waiting for punishment to be delt. "Actually, I *do* think something can be done to compensate for your idiotic blunder," he paused, letting that sink in to Rafael's thinnk skull. "I want that boy," He pointed to Hikari, who was now supported by Ryou and Jou. Yami looked back at Seto and Bakura. "And the other two, for troubling my High Advisor and High Priest."
Rafael gulped. "But...your majesty...I have dozens of other slaves...surely, they can suffice..." He flinched as Bakura slapped him.
"Do you remember who you are talking to? Do you *want* to be punished severly?" Bakura barked, and Rafael fell on the floor again.
"Please, please! Forgive me! Have mercy!" He paused, a sly thought coming into his mind. "Hikari is my most prized slave. And the other two. Hikari supplies me with means of...entertainment..." Yami saw Hikari flinch, and he knew the entertainment was more than his soothing voice. "...I'm sure I could let you have them, with a generous price..." Bakura snarled.
"Do you think this matter is up for negotiation? We are taking them. Now!" Yami held a hand up.
"No, I do belive a little money in in order. After all, Hikari seemed to be the main source of revenue for this lowlife..." Seto reached into a coin purse at his hip and pulled out a few pieces of gold.
"This should do, considering the circumstances..." Seto said, and threw them at the ground where Rafael still was.
"...Thank you my Pharaoh..." Rafael said unenthusiasticlly. Yami turned to the three boys.
"Gather what belongings you have. We're leaving in a few moments," With that, Yami, Seto, and Bakura were out of the tent, leaving four people in total shock.

"This should do, considering the circumstances..." Seto said, and threw them at the ground where Rafael still was.
"...Thank you my Pharaoh..." Rafael said unenthusiasticlly. Yami turned to the three boys.
"Gather what belongings you have. We're leaving in a few moments," With that, Yami, Seto, and Bakura were out of the tent, leaving four people in total shock.

Well, how was that?
Yami: It sucked.
Well, yeah, but you don't have to point it out!
Catherine: She was a wee bit distracted. Louisville's playing Kentucky!
::jumps around in red, black, and white clothes, with face paint and such:: GO CARDS! WHOOOOOOO HOOOO!
Yugi, Yami, Catherine: -_-;;
Ok, timeout...that song was so-so, so no flames please. ^_^
Yugi: Come on...review...you know you want too...::nudge nudge, wink wink::
Yami: I think I like it when you talk like that Aibou...
Yugi: ::blushes::
Catherine: GET A ROOM!
