~Chapter Three~
Yami yawned tiredly as he made his way toward his royal chambers. When he opened the door, he was a little surprised to find Yugi laying unconscious. He smirked. 'Must've went through one of Jazella's little _sessions_.'
Roughly, he shook the boy. "Wake up! Wake up, lowly scum!"
Yugi moaned and opened his eyes. Yami ignored the pain-filled expression and said in his commanding tone, "Tomorrow you start your learnings. You will attend a small school for servants for three weeks. There, you will learn what your responsibilities are. The school is actually in the building right beside this palace which you must go to on your own. There is another building right next to it, which are the dormitories where you will sleep and eat meals. After you finish your three weeks, you will come back to me and serve me. Got it?"
Yugi nodded.
"Very well. Now go to sleep whenever you want, but remember to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow for school, or you can spend another day with Jazella!"
Shivering at the experience, Yugi laid down on the cold floor and closed his eyes.
*Dream*
"No, daddy please!" A young yugi cried.
"Shut the f*** up, you little b@$t@rd!" The man growled as he grabbed the boy's shirtfront. Curling hand into a fist, he punched the child in the stomach and threw him against the walls of their home.
Yugi cried more, the pain unbearable.
"You're the reason Miya died, you little brat!" The man shouted.
"No! Mother didn't die because of me, she even said so!" Yugi screamed. Big mistake. Yugi gasped as another punch was landed on him. He coughed up blood, and screamed again as the torture continued.
"OF COURSE IT WAS YOUR FAULT!" The man bellowed. "And you'll pay for it!" He whirled around, revealing a gleaming knife. Yugi shrieked again as it descended to pierce his skin.
*End Dream*
Yugi jerked awake, sweat and tears mixing on his face. He glanced at the pharaoh. Good, he was still sleeping. At least now he won't be punished for disturbance. Tears ran down his face as he recalled life with his father, and how his grandpa had been so kind to him.
"I hope you're okay, Grandpa." Yugi whispered softly to the stars. As Yugi looked at the stars, he noticed the sun just beginning to rise.
'Oh, no, I have to get to school!' Yugi thought. Quickly, he dashed out the door and ran through the passageways. Finally reaching the entrance, he made it to the building. Entering, he saw several kids also entering, most in their teen years. Unsure of what to do, Yugi just took a seat and sat down. Supposedly, he did right since the other students did the same.
A few minutes later, when everyone was settled, an old wizened man entered the building. He was dressed in the royal finery, meaning he was a noble, ugly as he was.
"Okay, you slaves, listen up!" He barked. For such an age, he sure had a loud voice. "You are here to learn your duties to serve your pharaoh. Anyone who shows the slightest disobedience can answer to His Greatness's dark powers."
Pausing, and seeing that no one made an attempt to complain, the teacher continued. "There are six total lessons, two for each week you are here. Pay close attention or you'll regret it!"
***********************
It was the end of the day, and Yugi was not too happy. He groaned, tired out from the lesson. 'Ugh, what does lifting rocks have to do with servant work?'
Still worn out, Yugi didn't notice the tall blonde until he bumped into him. "Hey, watch where you're going, brat!" The other snarled.
"I-I'm terribly sorry." Yugi murmured.
"Sorry doesn't cut it, ya little runt!" The blonde boy was about to punch Yugi when a soft voice spoke up.
"Jou, leave him alone. He didn't mean it, and he's probably having a bad enough day without you making it worse."
Jou turned around to face a brown haired younger girl. "Sorry, Shizuku."
Shizuku shook her head. "You should be apologizing to him, big brother."
Jou turned around. "I'm sorry little guy, I'm just a little tense today. Actually, I'm like that everyday nowadays ever since pop sent us to this hell!" He pointed to the school.
Yugi shook his head. "That's quite alright, I know how you feel. My name's Yugi. You're Jou?" he asked timidly.
"Full name's Jounochi Katsuya, but call me Jou. This is my sister Shizuku." he jerked a thumb toward the girl behind him, who smiled warmly at Yugi. Shyly, he smiled back. "I hafta go, Jou. See you guys later, bye brother, bye Yugi!"
The two waved as she left.
"So why're you here, Yuge?" Jou asked, walking alongside the younger boy as they made their way to the dormitories.
"Well, actually, I'm supposed to be the Pharaoh's new slave." he whispered, not really wanting to talk about it. He could still imagine what his life would be like.
Jou's jaw dropped. "Ho, man, boy are you unlucky. He is one dangerous guy! Better not upset him in any way."
"Why are you here?" Yugi asked.
"Oh, pops sold us to the high priestess cuz he won't take care of us no more. Our new mistress sent us here to learn our duties, and responsibilities, yadda yadda, and all that junk." Jou shrugged. "Heck, I haven't even met the priestess. Mebbe she's a lot nicer than Big Ol' high and mighty."
"Jou, you really shouldn't be showing such disrespect. And the high priestess is nothing like what you think! Of course, I should know." Yugi murmured fearfully, recalling his punishment for trying to escape.
Jou immediately looked concerned. "Why? What'd she do to you?"
"N-nothing."
"Bullshit."
"Really, she didn't do any-"
"YUGI!" The two boys could see Jazella walking towards them, not looking too pleased. Of course, Jou, not knowing this was the high priestess, started flirting with the beautiful woman.
"Hey, girl, you a friend of Yuge's?" He asked, ignoring the warning signals Yugi was making.
Jazella looked scornfully at the blonde boy. "Friend? More like his enemy. And you better show proper respect, lowly commoner! I am the High Priestess!" She said proudly.
Jou frowned. "You're kinda young to be a high priestess. You sure you're in that position?"
Jazella fumed. "Of course I'm sure! And I'll prove it, you cheeky puppy dog!"
Turning back to Yugi, she smiled her not-so-pleasant grin. "Now Yugi, you can help me prove to this _boy_ who I really am."
Fearfully, Yugi tried to back away from the mage...and tripped on a stray stone.
Jou could only watched, horrified, as Yugi was bombarded by what looked like little balls of fire and lightning, until he was out cold.
Enraged, Jou roared, "What'd you do that for?!?!? I was the one who doubted you, you bi*(h!!! Why didn't you go for me instead of Yugi?!? He's only a little kid!"
Jazella shrugged. "It's fun torturing him." she snickered, angering Jou even more. "In fact, I wonder how fun it'll be to take away his innocence."
Jou couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You...what?!?" he sputtered.
Jazella sighed, annoyed. "I'm wasting time here. And, yes, you heard me right. Don't doubt me next time or either you or Yugi will pay for it!" with that, she disappeared, leaving behind her trademark bright green light until it slowly faded away.
