Love Ain't What We Do

Chapter Two
Cold, please hold me tightly in this chilling darkness.

Blue, please let me use my blurry eyes to see your eyes just once more.

Warm, please talk to me again by using your ocean deep voice.
"I must say you that you are doing a good work, Seto." Yami nodded slightly at Seto and smiled.

"Thank you, my pharaoh." Seto grinned proudly. "I know taking duel monsters from the shadow realm is a good way to improve our armies, if we have further plans, the world might even become yours, my pharaoh."

"No, Seto." Yami laughed. "I was saying the slave you found me was good, very appealing indeed."

"Oh, that." Seto sounded disappointedly. "Well, it's my pleasure that your majesty likes that gift."

Yami shook his head and waved his head and all the guards walked out from the room. "Seto, my priest, when can you understand? You and me are men, we need women, and so we have to treat those slaves like people, she is NOT a gift."

Seto smirked, // woman? People? Those slaves? Who doesn't know he has countless slaves, and they all end up the same, killed, suicide, went insane because of the ignorance of the pharaoh, or got tortured and died unconsciously. //

He sighed, "I understand, my pharaoh."

"Good," Yami said satisfactorily.

"Now, my pharaoh, shouldn't we get back to what we were discussing? About the duel monster-"

"That can wait." Yami waved his hands. "You know, Seto, you need to enjoy yourself some more, this country is now very rich and peaceful, and we don't need to think about the armies and things like that."

"But," Seto was trying to say something but got interrupted by a guard.

"Your majesty!" the guard ran into the room and reported.

"What is it?" Yami glared at the guard.

"We caught your new slave who is trying to escape from the palace!"

"Oh I see," Yami frowned and turned to Seto. "Well, the slave you sent in has some attitude like yourself, hmm?" he smirked and ordered, "bring her in then, I'll show her some rules of mine."

"Yes, your majesty." The guard backed out from the room and dragged in Isis.

"Let me go!" Isis cried and struggled trying to escape from the hands of the strong demon like guard.

"Well, you sure are a wild cat." Yami smirked and took out his whip.

The guard left the room, left Isis alone with the pharaoh and the priest. Seto looked disgusted as Yami took out his whip.

"You are in the palace, you are my slave, and don't you think you shouldn't be punished by your foolish action." Yami frowned but smirked. "Undress your robe." He ordered. Isis shook her head with tears. But she couldn't refuse, it's the pharaoh's order. She stripped her dress half way down. With half naked back to Yami, she used her arms to hide her breasts. Tears slid down from her already reddened eyes. She felt humiliated, especially in the front of the priest, she felt she was such a fool, so stupid...

The whip came down and up, dancing on Isis's back. She bit her lower lip and tried not cry, but it won't work. She screamed and screamed, until her throat was hurting so hard, she still couldn't stop.

Seto looked away. He wasn't blind, but he didn't care. He had seen this kind of things for so many times. Staying besides the pharaoh for so long, he had lost his kindness. Yami once told him, his blue eyes were destined to be cold, because blue was a cold colour, and it could never be warm, be kind. He was destined to be cruel, to be as cold as the ice.

Blue.... Isis's bare back was now bloody.

Blue.... She forced her blurred eyes to look at that ocean blue...

Blue... those blue shadows reflected into her own blue eyes.

Blue... blue.... Blue... just blue, nothing mattered...

Just blue, it could cool down the pain....

Just blue, it's the hatred, the pain, but also the comfort.

Blue... if she could just touch that invisible love...

Everything went black for Isis. The only memory she had was those dark blue eyes, the ignorant, that was what hurt her so hard, so deep, pain...

..................

Isis woke up in a dark room. Her back was burning so hard that she couldn't even feel the dripping blood drops.

"Maybe this is how hell feels, heh."

She laughed bitterly, she didn't know why. Laugh? Now? It wasn't normal, she suspected if she went insane, maybe.

Suddenly she heard a slave said something, "I don't think she woke up yet, my pharaoh." Then, she heard heavy steps walking towards her direction, chill.

Yami came in with two guards behind him. He bent down and looked at Isis.

"Is your brain clear yet?" he smirked, challengingly.

Isis looked at Yami emotionlessly. Clear, yes, very. Another escape meant death, meant Malik will lose his only family, meant she will never see the beautiful sun again, meant she would never sing her favourite songs again, meant....

Meant she will never see those blue eyes again.

Isis bit her lower lip, she nodded. "Yes." She answered nervously.

"Good." Yami smiled and bent down and put her into his arms, the guards came up fearfully and insisted to take Isis themselves, but Yami glared them and walked towards his chamber.

Back to the chambers, several female slaves helped Isis to wash away the blood, and a healer came and gave her some medicines. Isis lied on the pharaoh's bed, she hated this bed. All those nightmares started here, she hated everything about this palace.

..................

Malik looked at the priest's palace from far on the hill. He held his fists tightly.

"You bastard priest, I will pay my revenge to you real soon! And I will save my sister from you monster!"

............

"Malik, are you sure about this?" Serenity looked at Malik worriedly. "I know how you feel, Malik, we grew up together, Isis is like a sister to me, but going alone is too dangerous!"

"Just go away." Malik replied annoyedly and went back to his packing.

"Malik...." Tears started to fill in Serenity's eyes. "I, I can't just let you go and die!" she started sobbing. "Everyone knows how cruel the priest is! This is suicide!"

"Why don't you just shut up and mind your own business?" Malik turned around and shouted angrily. "Well, you HAVE a FAMILY, growing up under parents' love, but look at me! Who am I? I can't even protect my only blood sister! Living doesn't have any meaning to me because I don't have ANYONE in my life!"

Serenity stood there, shocked. Light sobbing became loud crying, she sniffled so hard and tried to move away. Malik sighed, maybe that was a little harsh.

"Look, I'll be back, ok? Promise, with Isis, I'll be back." Malik patted Serenity kindly and hugged her.

"You better...." Serenity was still crying, but she hugged Malik tightly, didn't want to let go...

.................

Sitting back, Seto fell into a deep thought. // I hate the pharaoh. I hate the pharaoh. He made me, he made me to be this cruel, I didn't even feel a thing when he whipped that girl, and I didn't even bother to help. //

Suddenly, he stood up, he had decided something.

"Prepare for me, I'm going to the pharaoh's chamber."
