~~Chapter 2: Brothers Reunite~~

Yume and Minkan were trying to help Makoto walk. Last night had been awful for their friend, as Makeinu had been in a foul mood and severely beaten Makoto then raped him brutally. He couldn't walk without great pain, which made all the traveling they had done that day torturous. Makinu told them that they would be in the palace early the next morning. It was quickly getting dark but Makinu was still pressing them onwards. Finally they stopped and Makoto all but collapsed. He was weak from the pain he had endured all day, but Yume and Minkan helped clean his wounds, new and old, and gave him their dinner, if you could call it that. Finally, the three friends fell asleep, scared violet eyes slowly closing from weariness.

~*~

It was the early morning hours when violet eyes snapped open. The spike haired teen slowly stood, stretching a bit, and preparing for what was happing today. He walked over to his friends, already up. They turned and greeted him, asking how he feeling. He replied that he was fine. A slave walked up to him and stated, "My lord Pharaoh, the slave trader, Makinu is here." Yami smirked.

"Good." Then he and his friends walked out to where the slaves were lined up. Khepri's blue eyes widened when he saw a young, black haired boy with dark blue eyes who looked familiar, VERY familiar...

"Minkan?" He asked, and the said slave turned to see the pharaoh's adviser, his older brother, staring at him. He grinned and started to run to him, but was stopped when a guard grabbed his shoulder painfully.

"Where do you think you're going runt?" He sneered then threw him towards the other slaves. Yume ran and caught him, falling to the ground. When Yume looked up he was surprised to see a familiar white-haired boy standing over him. Khepri strode over and took Minkan in his arms, comforting him. He quickly paid for him and carried him to the steps where he could look at his younger brothers injuries.

Meanwhile, Bakura was staring at Yume, trying to figure out if he was indeed his long lost brother. He saw the fear in his eyes and barely hear him whisper, "Bakura, is it you?" He nodded quickly and bought him, smiling tenderly at him. Yume was limping so Bakura lifted him and brought him to a chair.

Makoto was very happy for his friends, but felt truly alone for the first time in many years. He froze when he saw the pharaoh get up, seemingly un- caring about the two happy reunions. He glanced at the slaves as he walked past them, but he stopped at Makoto, a cruel smile on his face. Makoto felt as if he had seen him somewhere before...could he be his brother? He asked himself this and looked at the pharaoh. "Brother?" He whispered, but the pharaoh heard him anyways. Turning, the Pharaoh glared at the younger boy and backhanded him harshly, causing him to slam against the wall and almost scream in pain. When Makoto cried out Yami smirked again. "I'll take him." He stated. Jono bowed and grabbed Makoto's arm, forcing him to follow.

Khepri and Bakura noticed that their brothers had gotten very upset over Makoto being chosen, and Minkan was crying. He looked up at Khepri and answered his brother's unspoken question. "M-makoto, he's my friend. He and Yume always protected me. Now he's gonna get hurt more and maybe killed even." There was a silence, for Khepri and Bakura knew that what Minkan said was true. Yami, who had been listening, was shocked.

'Makoto? It couldn't be, could it? No, he's dead!' He shock his head and walked towards his room, where his new toy was.
