Seto entered his chambers and he felt a jolt of fear when eh didn't see the boy anywhere and he ran forward. What if Yami found him? What if he had wandered off? What if he was taken back by the gods because Seto hadn't done as they ordered him to? So many what ifs that his heart was racing then he heard the sound of his cat in the gardens. He ran there as fast as his legs would take him.
The scene before him surprised him. Yugi was lying in the arm of a magnificent blond. Who ever he was he must be one of Yami's slaves but that didn't bode well if one of Yami's pets had found Yugi then he was bound to tell his master about him. The priest headed forward his fist clenched.
"What are you doing in my chambers?" He demanded of the blond who looked up at him his red eyes flashing making Seto freeze in his tracks feeling as if he had yelled at the wrong person. Then blond ran his fingers through the sleeping boy's hair and seemed to look Seto over very closely.
"I go where I choose to go High Priest this land is after all of my creation."
Seto's eyes went huge then he sank down to his knees shaking all over.
"L-Lord Ra."
"I am surprised that you remember these formalities High Priest after all were became worried when we found that you were unable to follow simple commands such as to give Yugi to Yami." He said his eyes now on the sleeping boy.
Seto looked down at the ground unable to speak he knew that this would happen that ignoring the orders of the gods would get him in trouble but he had no idea that it would bring one of them to his rooms like this. He was worried now what would the god do? Of course take Yugi and give him to his rightful owner but then what? For such an infraction Seto's life could be forfeit. He shivered then looked back up at the blond god.
"I couldn't do it. Yami doesn't deserve such as Yugi! He will only destroy the boy who is so innocent." He said his voice pleading now. "Lord Ra please! Punish me if that is your wish but I would rather you take the boy back with you or even kill him before you allow Yami to get his hands on him!"
Ra looked at the priest considering his words. Then he gently shook Yugi. The boy's purple eyes opened up and starred up at the god with a loving look then looked over at Seto and tilted his head confused about why the man was on the floor. His purple eyes gazed at the blond god questioningly.
'He bows to show his respect of me." He told the boy who nodded then reached his hands out and the cat hopped up into them. "High Priest Yugi was created as a gift and a test for the Pharaoh not for you to keep as your own you will give the boy to him or I will."
Seto let out a sound of pain but nodded weakly.
"The boy is to either show Yami what it means to be human or he will die and return to us he is aware of this he merely stayed with you because you were kind to him. That is also why he has no voice so that he may not tell Yami that of the consequences his actions may bring about." Ra said and the priest again nodded. So the boy knew that his fate was going to be a less then happy one? That made no sense why would he put himself through it?
"Its because he wants to save Yami." A more gentle voice behind them. On that Seto recognized instantly as Osiris the Saint Dragon. He looked over at him. He looked, in human form, the same age as Yugi but with bright red hair and the most brilliant cerulean eyes Seto had ever seen. The boy god walked by him patting his shoulder gently.
Ra rose to his feet then set Yugi down to play with the cat. He knew that it was time to go when Osiris showed up. He figured that the boy god would end up giving Yugi to Seto seeing he was of a gentle heart, well most of the time anyway.
"Heed our words this time give the boy to Yami."
Seto nodded and the two gods vanished.
Seto sat up and looked over at the boy who was still playing with the cat and he sighed.
"Come on Yugi. Its time for you to meet Yami."
The boy nodded and stood up to his feet a tiny bit of fear showing in his eyes.
"I wish that I could tell you that it will all be alright but I have my doubts. I wish that I could help you, wish I could keep you away from your fate but there isn't really anything that I can do. Yugi I'm so sorry."
The boy walked over and reached up his small hands patting Seto's cheeks and he smiled up at him shaking his head. This made the priests eyes widen in disbelief. Why was the boy trying to comfort him when he was about to become a sacrificial lamb to Yami's whims? It made no sense!
Seto pushed the thoughts away he was a fool to have gone against the wishes of creatures as powerful as the gods, after all they had show their strength by creating Yugi. He took a deep breath.
"Let's get this over with then."
Yami was lounging in his throne listening to the complaints of the peasants about stupid things such as so and so stole my sheep this guy took my daughter your troops keep taking out children to your palace and they never come home. The last one caused a smile to come to his face most of the afore mentioned children were the delicious beauties that warmed his bed at night.
The rest were the ones that he didn't want and gave over to his men to play with.
"I care little about such silly problems come back when its something that is worth my time or I will have you whipped!" Yami spat as the man was drug out of the throne room and he leaned back with a small laugh.
"Lord. Its High Priest Seto to see you."
"Send him in hopefully the gods will have sent me a knife to stab myself with." He complained then looked up at the priest walked in and in his wake something that had Yami on his feet and walking across the room eyes wide.
Yugi looked up at the man in time to have his chin caught in a steely hold and he was looked over as if the man was considering buying a camel. Yugi though didn't understand how degrading this was instead lifting a small hand to touch Yami's cheek and he smiled at him.
Yami for a moment looked shocked that this look alike would dare to touch him but after meeting the too innocent gaze of the other he couldn't bring himself to punish him. Instead turning to Seto.
"What the hell is this?"
"A gift to you from the three gods."
The scene before him surprised him. Yugi was lying in the arm of a magnificent blond. Who ever he was he must be one of Yami's slaves but that didn't bode well if one of Yami's pets had found Yugi then he was bound to tell his master about him. The priest headed forward his fist clenched.
