All: O.O
Yami: Oh...my...Ra...
::clicks heels:: HAHAHAHA! I GOT REVIEWS YAMI!
Yugi: ^_^;
Yami: Grr...
Catherine: You've been told to show respect for the authoress, Yami.
Yami: WHAT?!
::points and laughs::
Yugi: Anyways...
Oh, yeah. ^_______^ Thank you all SOOOOO much for the AWESOME OPOSSUM reviews! I am
very flattered!
Yami: ::whispers:: Not to mention that her ego has inflated to the size of-
Oh shut up. I want to apologize for the lateness of this chappie. Incase you haven't guessed,
school has started again. Grr...I could go on, but I won't.
Catherine: Don't want to bore the readers, do we?
-_- Anyways, I also want to apologize for my grammatical errors in the last chappie. No one
pointed it out, but it is one of my own pet peeves. ;_; My computer has no spell check, and
normally I read over my writing more carefully, but...::sigh:: Oh well. I'll be more careful next
time. ^_^
NOTICE: I *will* be moving the rating up to R. It's pushing the envelope as it is, and in the next
chappie, it will be moved up. So, from now on, look for this story on the "R" page. ^_^;;
WARNINGS: This story contains YAOI. The pairings will be Yugi/Yami, Ryou/Bakura, and
Seto/Jou. I had a reviewer comment on the pairings, so there they are. They are definite. Let
me know if anyone wants Anzu/Mai.

Bakura and Seto looked at Yami curiously when they stepped outside of the tent. Yami blinked.
"You all seemed...interested...in the other two, so I decided to get them too," Bakura and Seto
nodded.
"Thank you, Yami," Seto said, and nudged Bakura, who seemed to be in thought. He jumped
and thanked Yami too. Yami raised an eyebrow, looking amused, but said nothing.
"Wow, Bakura seems to be deep in thought," Seto said to Yami.
"Indeed. I wonder what he's thinking about?" Yami responded. The two turned to Bakura, but
he was in a daze, and he appeared to not have heard the two talking about him. Yami and Seto
sweat dropped. The three's attention soon shifted to the tent, however, as a small yelp of panic
rang out. The three glanced at each other, and when more screams ensued, they headed
towards the tent.
***
Hikari, Ryou, and Jou were whispering excitedly while gathering the few belongings they each
had.
"What do you think our new masters are like?" Jou asked. Ryou pursed his lips.
"Well, the one called Yami seems to be a little stony. That Seto one seems rather quiet, and
Bakura..." he drifted off, closing his eyes.
"Bakura what?" Hikari asked. Ryou opened his eyes quickly. Hikari saw a faint blush on his
cheeks, and let that subject alone. The three stood, having gathered their belongings.
"Well, it seems as though I can trust Yami..." at strange glances from his two companions, Hikari
continued. "It's just a feeling I get. Maybe he'll be different from Rafael..." Hikari turned around
and yelped when he was met with the sight of Rafael staring him down hungrily.
"What do you want?" Jou asked angrily, stepping up beside Hikari. Rafael smirked.
"I should at least get one last time..." he drifted off, licking his lips, and grabbed Hikari by the
neck, shoving his tongue in his mouth once again. He ignored Hikari's struggling and his hands
began to roam his body once more. Hikari whimpered and felt tears run down his cheeks.
He heard Jou and Ryou's yells as they beat at Rafael's large body, trying to get him to let go of
their friend. Rafael's head was under Hikari's clothes now, ravaging his body violently, and it
seemed as though nothing could stop him. Hikari let out a short, panicked yelp, and closed his
eyes, knowing that nothing could save him now.
Ryou began to cry, sobbing violently, still banging fruitlessly on Rafael's bulk, despite Jou trying
to stop him.
"YUGI! YUGI! PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP! WE'RE SO CLOSE TO GETTING OUT! WE WON'T BE
ABLE TO MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU!" He screamed out through his sobs. Jou grimaced. This
wasn't good.
Ryou seemed to realize that he did something wrong, and his eyes widened. He knew what it
was too...
Rafael paused, his grip tightening on "Hikari's" body, and pulled his head back slightly. He
growled and turned to a deep shade of red.
"What is this? Yugi?" He growled again and "Hikari" sobbed loudly when Rafael's big hands dug
into his sensitive inner thighs.
"It doesn't matter what it is, Rafael!" A deadly calm voice said from the tent flap. Everyone,
except for "Hikari", whose eyes were still clamped shut, turned to see who it was. It was Yami,
Bakura, and Seto, and they didn't look like happy campers. Bakura and Seto could hardly focus
on Rafael, for their eyes kept wandering to Ryou and Jou, who were on the ground, faces red
from crying.
Rafael dropped "Hikari" in a flash and fell to the ground, clutching his head. Yami was scowling
deeply, his hand held up. He put his hand down and walked closer to Rafael.
"What the hell do you think you were doing to him?" Yami asked, his voice dangerously low.
Rafael whimpered.
"My Pharaoh, I was only having a bit of fun before he left," he whimpered. Yami growled softly.
"You had no right. You will be severely punished," Yami then rushed past him to his new slave,
who was whimpering softly on the ground, crying. Yami felt his heart squeeze with anguish. It
was painful to see the boy like this. His voice and features were softened when he spoke next.
"Hikari? Are you ok?" "Hikari" opened his eyes, which were filled with sadness and pain.
"My name isn't Hikari..." he whispered, gulping. He glanced over at Ryou, who looked on in
horror, and then back at Yami. "My name is...Yugi..." Rafael growled weakly, still clutching his
head. Yami looked up, his eyes hardened, and Rafael screamed, then collapsed on the ground.
Yugi gasped.
"What did you do to him?" He asked. Yami looked down, his eyes softer.
"I simply knocked him unconscious. He'll stay that way until we get someone to take him back to
the palace..." Yugi nodded and wiped away his tears.
"I wish I could have done that..." He said, his voice still shaky, making his two companions
chuckle and wipe their faces. Yugi smiled slightly and Yami put out a hand to help him up, which
would have gotten some strange looks from Seto and Bakura, but those two were too busy
helping Jou and Ryou up from their awkward positions on the floor.
The moment Yami and Yugi's hands touched, a feeling like an electric shock went through them.
Their eyes met, and all of the outside world seemed to disappear. They lost themselves in one
another's eyes, each finding the other's unique and beautiful.
After a few moments (which seemed like forever to Yami and Yugi), they were interrupted by
Seto clearing his throat. The two snapped back into reality and looked over to the intruder.
"Come on, Yami. We'd best get some guards to come get this creep..." He emphasized "creep"
with a sharp kick to Rafael's large gut, which got a grunt of pain. Yami nodded in agreement,
and beckoned to Yugi.
"Come, little one. We'll take you to your new home."
***
Questions. That's what was plaguing Yami's mind. And they were all about his new slave. He
wanted to know everything about him. And that troubled him. He knew that he had shown
more emotion to this slave-this...this *nobody*- in the small amount of time that he had known
him than he had to his own people in years. He was the Pharaoh, god on Earth. He wasn't
supposed to show emotion. Emotion was weak. At least, that's what his father's council had told
him...
.:.Flashback.:.
A tearful, seven year old Yami looked up into the dark eyes of Deas, the leader of his father's
council.
"But...I *like* to play with my friends! Why did you send them away?" He whimpered and fell
back as Deas' hand collided with his own sensitive cheek.
"Friends?" He smirked. "You have no *time* for friends! You have many lessons to attend to.
You know that your father is not doing well at all, and that you will soon have to take the
throne!" Deas yanked Yami up by the shirt and tossed him across the room. Yami landed on his
back, and more tears began to fall. The councilman saw this, and did not like it one bit.
"What's this? Tears?" He stomped up and pulled Yami roughly up so they were eye to eye.
"Tears are emotion. Emotion is weak. Pharaohs do not show EMOTION!" He roared, breathing
heavily. He dropped Yami to the floor. "Let that be your first lesson. Now, get going to your
other lessons! NOW!" Yami scampered away, tears falling down his face...
.:.End flashback.:.
He had gotten many more "lessons", each one more painful than the next. Then, finally, the
urge to make the pain stop took over, and the council had complete control over him. Yami
never forgot that day, though. As soon as Yami knew he didn't need the stupid bunch of idiots,
he had them executed. Seto, Bakura, and a few other trusted ones of his were his council now.
Seto and Bakura had cracked a bit of the shell that the council had surrounded him in. A bit.
Yami was snapped out of his walk down memory lane when a curious Seto walked up beside him.
"Yami?" He asked softly. Yami turned his head to acknowledge that he was listening. Seto
continued.
"You seem to be acting strangely to that new slave of yours..." He looked back at Yugi, who was
walking silently behind Yami. Yami grunted in response. Seto rolled his eyes.
"Fine, don't talk about it. We'll be here though when you want to." With that, Seto went back to
his walking place.
Yami shook his head, plainly confused. What was happening to him?
***
Ryou and Jou looked up in amazement at the towering palace in front of them. Never in their
life...had they seen such a magnificent building. They looked at Yugi, who looked at it as if it
were interesting, but he was preoccupied. He was actually quite confused. He had so many
questions concerning his new master...it just wasn't right. He knew he couldn't just walk up to
Yami and start bombarding him with the questions that infested his mind. It wasn't right.
Especially since his new master was the Pharaoh.
He shuddered, remembering rumors that he had heard. The Pharaoh was cruel and heartless.
But he saved Yugi and his friends from Rafael, didn't he? But, maybe he just wanted his body...
Yugi shuddered. He *really* didn't want that to happen again...
Another rumor sped across his crowded brain. Pharaoh Yami had massacred his village. But
Yami had been so nice to him...it seemed to be impossible that he could do such a horrible,
atrocious thing. He shook his head and smiled slightly. No, he wasn't going to put a dark light
onto things. Everything would work out in the end. Everything would be okay.
"Yugi?" He snapped his head up and looked at Yami's face, feeling a slight blush come onto his
face. He immediately fell to his knees and bowed his head.
"Yes, master?" He asked. Yami's eyes widened. He didn't like seeing Yugi like this. It seemed as
though Yugi was so much more than a slave...he *was* so much more...Yami gave a quick shake
of his head and beckoned for Yugi to stand up. Without thinking, he smiled ever so slightly.
"No, don't call me master. My name is Yami. That is what you shall call me," As his voice faded
away, Bakura and Seto's eyes widened in surprise. But, he was called by his first name only by
his close friends: them. It was strange that a regular slave would gain Yami's trust so quickly.
Very strange indeed.
Seeing what Yugi had done, Ryou fell on his knees, mumbling his apologies for not behaving the
way a slave was instructed to. Jou still stood, his eyes hard. Yugi noticed this, and sighed,
pleading Jou with his eyes to be obedient. Jou had always been a little bit stubborn, and his
pride still got in the way of his duties. He had gotten more that a few beatings from Rafael for
acting this way.
Jou must have noticed Yugi's silent pleading, for he slowly got on his knees, and mumbled
apologies. But he kept his head up, his eyes ever defiant. Yugi sighed and rolled his eyes
slightly. Pride was something that you had to let go of when you became a slave.
'Either let go of it, or remember when to keep it in check,' Yugi thought. Pride was a dangerous
thing.
Yami cleared his throat, and Yugi came out of his thoughts. He then noticed that they were
inside of the palace, and Yami had already sent guards to take care of Rafael. He breathed a
quick sigh of relief. Yami spoke to Bakura and Seto.
"I'll be going to my chambers to get cleaned up. I suggest that you and your slaves do so too,"
Bakura and Seto nodded, and Yami left them. Yugi realized that he was to follow, and waved a
quick goodbye to his friends before rushing after his mast-er, Yami.
