::skips around, swinging a white banded medal::
Yami: What's with her?
Yugi: Yesterday was her birthday.
Yami: And that explains the medal how?
Catherine: She went and took a test yesterday morning, and it took her all day long.
She ended up winning 3rd place out of over 40 contestants!
::hums delightedly::
Yami: That's just so unlike her...It's disturbing...
::peaks at computer screen:: O____O
All: O.O?
OH MY GUJEEBERS!! Look at how many reviews I have! I HAVE 60 REVIEWS!!!
Yami: Well, that got her back to normal...
Oh gods you all, thank you sooooo much!! You really don't know how much this
means to me. I'm glad I get support for my writing *somewhere*. My LA teacher
doesn't seem to think I have much talent. Or else she wouldn't make up excuses for
me to rewrite my paper that I put my heart and soul into while other people who just
wrote down a bunch of lies got A's...
Catherine: You're rambling, Snow.
Oh, yeah. ^^; But anyways, THANK YOU!!! ::huggles reviewers::
WARNINGS: YAOI! If you haven't figured *that* one out yet...boy you're not a very
smart one, are you? There will also be violence (only a little speck of it in this
chappie).
DISCLAIMER: If you think I own this, what are you smoking? I WANT SOME!! (lol. My
friend said that to me the other day.)

Yami looked down at his new slave, his breath catching in his throat. He was
beautiful.
His mind was full of questions, but he had learned from interrogations that the more
comfortable you made your victim, the more information you got out of them.
"Come, sit on the bed. Make yourself at home. After all, you'll be here for quite
some
time," Yugi reluctantly sat on the bed in Yami's chambers, and Yami joined him. The
young ruler waited a few moments, looking at Yugi. Yugi felt himself flush a little
under the appreciative gaze. Yami, realizing he made the boy uncomfortable,
cleared
his throat, yet didn't avert his stare.
"Tell me about yourself Little One," Yugi looked up at Yami and stuttered slightly.
"W-what would you like to know, Mas- Yami?" Yami pursed his lips slightly.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from the village Dacraed," Yugi's voice got a little waver to it. Yami's eyes
narrowed in slight remembrance.
'Why does that name sound familiar?' Out loud, he asked, "Where is that, Yugi?" The
small boy swallowed, tears forming in his eyes, making Yami's heart give an
unconscious squeeze.
"It is no longer there. My village was massacred two years past," He wiped his eyes
and drew himself up, trying to be strong. Yami's eyes widened as the memory jarred
him.
"I remember now! That was the village Izaec led his troops through!" Yugi flinched at
the mention of Izaec. Yami frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" He asked. Yugi didn't respond, however. His eyes were glazed, and
he had a look of pain on his face, as though he were remembering something from a
time he had tried to forget...
.:.Flashback.:.
The screams were coming from everywhere. He could hear them, feel them. His
family and friends...his village! He wanted to go out and help them, but his mother
had demanded that he stay in the closet, and begged his grandfather to make sure he
didn't leave.
"By Ra, I'm not a baby!" He growled under his breath. He could feel the heat from the
surrounding houses being burned down. He could smell the ash and smoke, he could
taste it. He could hear people screaming and crying. Their tears brought his tears.
He
could feel their pain. Gods, sometimes he hated having this Talent...he could feel
them
dying...his people...
His thoughts were interrupted by a commotion in the main part of the house. His
heart
was pounding.
There was an exchange of words by gruff voices, and then he heard his grandpa speak
out with anger and contempt. He had never heard him talk this way before.
"We have done *nothing* to you! We have given you all we have! What more do you
want from us? What have we done to deserve this?" There was the sound of flesh
striking flesh, and an evil bark of
laughter.
"Move aside, old man!" A rough voice commanded. There was much moving about,
and the sound of furniture being broken. Then, the handle to his closet began to
rattle.
He inhaled sharply as the door opened. He looked up and was met with the vicious
smirk of a young man with sharp, angular features. His smirk grew even larger at the
sight of the boy in the closet.
"What did you find Izaec?" A soldier in the background hollered. Izaec began to rub
his hands together.
"A new tow..." His eyes narrowed suggestively.
"NO!" A piercing scream came from behind Izaec. The boy's eyes widened.
"Mom? NO!" A battered woman with beautiful violet eyes and long blonde hair ran up
and knocked Izaec out of the way. She bent down and quickly picked the petite boy
up. She turned, and saw her father standing there.
"Go! I'll keep them here for as long as I can!" The woman nodded and ran. She ran
as fast as she ever had, and prayed to the gods for more speed. She clutched her son
close to her breast and breathed in his comforting scent deeply.
"Don't worry Yugi..." She said, still running. They seemed to fly past the carnage of
their long time friends and family and the incinerated houses.
"It will be alright..." She began to hum a soft melody, her gentle comfort sounding
ragged because of the speed that she was going at. But, she didn't let that stop her
from consoling her son. Yugi, knowing the tune, joined in. The gods seemed to hear
this song, and granted the woman more breath to run The two got so involved in their
song that they didn't hear the soldiers come upon them, until it was too late.
First, it was one soldier, and the young mother just ran faster. Then, there was
another, and another. It seemed that Izaec's troops were after them. It was
eventually
too much for her. She bent her head down and whispered in the boy's ear.
"Listen to me Yugi..." she panted. "I want you to run. Get away from these men..."
She began to cough, and her pace became a little slower. Yugi's eyes widened.
"But...but Mom! They'll get you! You have to go on! I'll keep them back!" The
woman
allowed a small, bittersweet smile flutter upon her face at her son's bravery.
"No my love. It is my time. I must join your father...they took him from me
tonight..." She looked behind her and saw a band of soldiers approaching. She looked
to the skies, and lifted up one last prayer...
"Oh gods in the sky, hear my cry!" She whispered urgently. "Grant me enough strength
to see my Yugi safe." She pushed herself one last time for one last sprint. She went as
far as she could, and then collapsed, Yugi tumbling forth from his mother's arms. He
stood up quickly and bent to help his mother. She lifted her head slightly and gave a
weak smile.
"Go, my Yugi. Run away...from these...people. Use your...Talent wisely. I love
you..." She laid her head down on the ground. Yugi cried out in pain. He bent down
next to his mother and whispered a song in her ear. He heard his mother faintly join
in.
"Hush my love...now don't you cry
Everything will be alright...
Close your eyes...and drift in dream...." Yugi heard his mother cough, and then take a
deep breath.
"Rest....in...peaceful...sleep..." And then there was no more. Yugi sat there and let
the
tears fall down his face. The sight of the arrow protruding form her back was enough
for him to bear. He didn't notice when the soldiers came up to them. He was lost in
sorrow. He had felt his mother die. It felt as though a piece of his soul had been
ripped away.
As the soldiers jerked him up, he did not cry out. As Izaec peeled his mother off of
the
ground, however, Yugi snapped.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" He screamed, and he tore away from the unsuspecting soldiers.
He ran and rammed into Izaec, who dropped his mother in the impact. He began to
bang fruitlessly on the commander's body. But the other soldiers were on him in a
flash, yanking him off of the fallen leader. Yugi began to thrash wildly, and a soldier
put a knife to his throat. He stopped immediately.
"No, don't." Yugi looked to see Izaec smirking slightly, wiping a speck of blood from
his mouth. He took in Yugi's body appreciatively. "I think I'll have some...fun with
him..."
.:.End Flashback.:.
"Yugi? YUGI! Come on! Snap out of it!" Yami was shaking Yugi, but to no avail. He
wouldn't snap out of this creepy stupor he was in. Yami started to feel a foreign
feeling
gnaw at his heart: fear. What was wrong with Yugi?
Seeing that nothing else could be done, Yami picked the boy up and rushed into his
bathing chambers. He stepped into the water, holding Yugi infant fashion. As soon as
he was in, Yami began to gather water in his hand and pour it on Yugi's face. Then,
with a splutter, Yugi snapped out of his gaze. Yami felt relief wash over him as the
small boy coughed a little and sat up straight, looking around at his new surroundings.
What had happened? He looked to Yami questioningly.
Yami felt his forehead to see if he was the proper temperature. Yami's eyes widened
at
the feel of the soft skin under his hand. He found himself letting his hand travel a
little
further down to the slave's cheek. Yugi, reveling in the tender caress, closed his eyes
and leaned into it.
"You went off into some type of daze...I didn't know how to get you out of it..." Yami
explained softly. Yugi jerked out of his splendor and looked away, ashamed. Yami
frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, Yami. I didn't mean to cause trouble. If there's anything I can do to make
up for it..." He drifted off as Yami placed a finger on his lips.
"I would like to know what it was that happened." Yugi nodded sadly.
"Well, when my town was destroyed, my mother tried to escape with me. My
grandfather held Izaec off while we ran. But, my mom could only run so far, and
there
were too many of the soldiers..." Yugi swallowed and held back a sob. He looked up
at
Yami with eyes shining with unshed tears. Yami felt a tightening in his chest at the
pain in Yugi's eyes. Yugi continued.
"Then...Izaec killed my mother and...he robbed me of my innocence," Yugi swallowed
and looked away again, ashamed. Yami felt anger rising up within him. How could
have Izaec done such an awful, hideous thing? He was thoroughly disgusted. He felt a
growl rising up within his throat, getting a surprised look from Yugi. Yami cleared his
mind of things that he would love to do to Izaec for the moment. He then noticed
that
they were still in the bath. He shrugged his shoulders and looked down at Yugi with a
gentle smile.
"Since we're already in the bath, we might as well clean up," Yugi nodded. When
Yami
began to take off his clothes, he blushed and turned away slightly.
'Yugi, you don't need to be looking at your master that way. If you want to have a
chance of happiness, you can't ruin it with a stupid mistake,' He scolded himself. He
then began to try and peal his wet clothes off of his body, but had trouble,
considering
that some unhealed bruises from Rafael restricted his movements to the front side of
his body. He couldn't reach behind him.
After watching Yugi struggle with his clothing for a little while, Yami chuckled
slightly.
He looked so cute...
'Cute? Woah, where did that come from?' Yami asked himself. But, he couldn't deny
it; the boy was irresistibly adorable. Not to mention *very* tempting.
"Here, let me help you Yugi." Yami said, amusement clear in his voice. Yugi giggled
slightly and stopped struggling with his remaining article of clothing, which happened
to be his bottoms. Yami reached down and helped Yugi out of his clothes from the
back. Yami allowed himself a few tantalizing caresses along the way. Starting at the
nape of his neck, and slowly trailing down to the small of his back. He wove his
fingers
around each of the vertebrates along the way. When he reached the bottom, he
hesitated when he felt Yugi shiver slightly. He went back up again, and down again,
going a little lower. Then, he pulled Yugi close to his own body and breathed in his
scent deeply. The closeness and Yugi's smell were overloading his senses, and it felt
great. It was such an awakening. He involuntarily pulled him closer, and he felt Yugi's
head rest against the crook of his shoulder as his body relaxed against Yami's naked
body. It felt so right. Yami closed his eyes and relaxed as well, keeping Yugi in his
proper place on his lap, pressed against his own body. And somewhere in the back of
Yami's mind, he knew that Yugi getting closer to his heart.

Catherine: Well, there it is.
And to answer the question of why Yugi was called Hikari, you will find that out in a
coming chapter.

O.o
Yami: I must admit that I enjoyed that...
Pssst. Yugi?
Yugi: See that wonderful little button that says "Go"? Click it! Review! Say nice
