Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.
Yugi woke up in a dark room, lit up only by red paper laterns that cast shadows across the room. He felt his arms stretched above his head and his legs spread wide open. His shirt was missing, and his pants had been replaced with tight leather pants. He shivered from the cold table he was laying on and he could feel something about his neck. He tried to move his arm to feel what it was but found it was impossible to do so. That's when he realized he was bound and gagged hard.
Yugi squirmed hard, pulling and pressing against his bonds desperately. He groaned in pain against his gag as he felt the tips of his wings pull and almost lose their feathers. He turned his head to the side and saw Malik was beaten and sitting on a steel chair, his hands and ankles cuffed to it and a heavy chain leash was wielded to the metal latch of a thick leather collar. He was panting hard and coughing, occasionally spitting blood on the ground in front of him. He looked up at Yugi.
"Yugi... I'm sorry... I knew he would ask me about you... but I couldn't get away. I tried to hide you from him like you begged of me... but I couldn't. I'm so sorry."
Yugi's eyes softened as he looked at his friend. He tried to communicate his feelings in his looks, but this was futile as Malik's eyes were swollen and had a deep purple tinge to the soft flesh around them.
Suddenly the large steel door beside Malik swung open, revealing Yami in a pair of tight leather pants and a tight silk sleeveless shirt, both a deep ruby color. He smiled as he looked over Malik.
"Poor puppy... Too bad you like to keep secrets from your master..." Yami grinned as he produced a key off of the far wall.
He unlatched Malik's bonds, leaving the chain leash and collar on him. "Well no matter to me anymore... I'm no longer your master." He jerked the chain hard, forcing Malik out of the chair. When Malik didn't move from the ground Yami kicked him hard in the ribs. Yugi could hear the bones crack and he winced. Then the sound of feet approaching made themselves known and Yugi gasped as he saw a replica of Malik move into the doorway.
But this replica was different. It had on loose fitting khaki cargo pants and a tight navy blue tank with the words "Sorry girls, I suck dick" written in white on it. His hair was spiky with a few bangs slipping over his forehead. He reached for the chain and took it from Yami, forcing Malik to kneel in front of him.
"Fucking hell Yami... He was supposed to be my payment for keeping Bakura on the fly for Ryou's awakening. You didn't have to kill him."
"I didn't kill him. He's still alive."
"Barely."
"Whatever just get his ass out of here. I have other things to attend to." Yami said, nodding to Yugi.
Yugi's eyes flew open wide and he struggled hard again, tears slipping from the corner of his eyes as he did so.
Yami smirked. He closed the door as Marik half dragged, half carried Malik out the door. He then turned to Yugi.
"Well little one... I've finally found you. To think it only took a little tracking and forcing on Malik." He walked over to a counter and opened it, pulling out a cup and pouring some pure water in it. He then walked over and tilted Yugi's head up and removed the gag, offering the water.
Yugi sipped it quietly, trying to soothe his aching, dry throat. "Why have you hunted me?"
"Because you belong to me. Just as your little angel-that-doesn't-know-it friend Bakura belongs to my friend Ryou."
"We belong to no one but the gods."
"I beg to differ. Otherwise why do we look so alike?"
"I have no idea, but we do not belong to anyone."
"You can be stubborn my little one. But I was Pharaoh once and can be again if I so choose. Therefore what I say goes. And I say that I own you."
Yugi took a sip and then spit it at Yami, forcing the water to hit him in the face.
Yami smirked and wiped his face off with the edge of his shirt.
"That's fine little one. Defy me. I like it when they struggle."
He then climbed onto the table and straddled Yugi's waist, his thighs rubbing on either side of Yugi's. He leaned down and rubbed his chest against Yugi's and kissed his jaw line gently.
"I'll try to be gentle, but no promises."

Ryou and Bakura walked silently through the streets of Domino, taking in the lights and air. Bakura would point out places and talk about them, explaining their purposes to Ryou and giving him funny looks when he asked about something that should have been obvious. Ryou tried not to seem ignorant.
"And that huge pyramid shaped building over there, that's Kaiba Corp. It's owned and run by Seto Kaiba, the world's youngest CEO."
"CEO?"
Bakura quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah, CEO, as in Corporate Executive."
Ryou nodded and smiled, drawing on the knowledge he had acquired from the girl from yesterday evening to understand. He smiled. "Yes of course, it slipped my mind."
"How does CEO slip your mind?"
"Well, with a mind like mine, a lot more than that just slips it."
"Hn. Well, whatever, that's all of Domino."
"No it's not."
"What?" Bakura asked confused.
"What about the roses?"
Bakura smiled softly. "Oh yeah... the roses..."
Ryou's eyes softened as he watched Bakura's expression change. He looked around them and found that they were near a flower shop. He smiled and ran to it, walking inside.
Bakura was confused by this but waited, figuring he'd find out soon enough. He stood, leaning against the railing and waited patiently.
Ryou soon reappeared with a large bouquet of white and crimson roses. He walked over and handed them to Bakura, smiling. "I couldn't resist."
Bakura blushed and smiled, tucking a long white strand of his own hair behind his ear. "Thank you." He then looked at Ryou carefully. "Maybe we could..."
"Not tonight koi. Soon." Ryou leaned in and kissed Bakura sweetly before drawing back and smiling. "Good morning. I'll see you tonight. Meet me at the roses."
