Chapter 5: Poisoning light, only to let it burn
Yugi woke up to morning, dizzy and tired. 'Oy, what happened' he thought. Yugi found himself in the pharoah's bed, and remembered. 'Oh right, the pharoah and I..' Yugi turned to his side, only to find the bed empty, meaning he was alone. He growled. 'I should've been able to push him off, what was wrong with me?!' he angrily thought. Yugi's hand then fell on his collar. Yugi then felt something strange coming from it. Yugi then jumped off the bed and ran to the mirror. 'I feel strange energy coming off this collar' he thought.
Yugi then remembered rumors going on that the pharoah would cast a spell on the slaves' collars to make sure that they couldn't strike back. "He must've done it to me too!" he realized. Yugi was angry and hurt. "The pharoah cast a spell so he could use me as a sex toy!" he said. He gasped. "That means that Jou must be affected too! I've got to find Jou and get out of here!" he vowed. Yugi rummaged around for a weapon of any kind. he found the pharoah's legendary sword, and stole that. 'Without my strength, I'm going to have to rely on a weapon' he thought. Yugi then bolted for the door. Only to have it open with the pharoah of Egypt walking in, closing the door and locking it. Sweet violet met hard crimson.
Jou's eyes slowly opened, yawning and stretching as they did. Jou turned to his side and found it empty. 'The High Priest must've left to do what he does best' he thought. Jou then bowed his head. 'I still can't figure out why I didn't knock him out. Is it because he really is stronger than I am?' Jou thought. Suddenly, he touched the collar. He also felt strange energy flowing from it. Jou's eyes snapped. "It's this collar!" he whispered.
Jou struggled to get it off, but no matter how hard he tried, the collar was stuck around his neck. "I have to find Yugi and go back to our friends. Then we can figure out how to get these things off!" he planned. Jou headed for the door, picking up the forgotten knife. Suddenly the door opened, and Seto walked in, finding Jou holding the knife once more and glaring at him.
"You're awake." said Yami, smirking. Yugi glared at him. "I know why you won that game, pharoah!" he spat. "You poisoned me! Took away my strength so you could use me as a sex toy, didn't you?" Yami chuckled, then looked at his pleasure slave. "Yes I did. I should've known you wouldn've felt the energy coming from the collar. I'm surprised you didn't figure it out last night." he snickered. Yugi glared, and pointed the sword at his throat.
"You may have taken away my strength, but not my skill. I could stab your throat with one thrust of your own sword. Tell me one good reason why I should let a butcher like you live." he challenged. Yami smirked. "Because you enjoyed what I gave you last night." Yugi was shocked, then started shaking. Yami chuckled. "I still remember your body reactions and your moans, little one. You were silently begging for more after you stopped struggling. Remember?" he inquired. Yami was creeping closer to Yugi. Yugi just couldn't move. Yami took the sword by the blade and thrusted it out of Yugi's hand. The sword landed on the ground, forgotten. Yami took Yugi's hand and used his other hand to caress Yugi's face.
"Usually, I would kill anyone who dared to hold a weapon against me. But I'll let you live." he whispered. Yugi looked up at Yami's crimson orbs with fear. "What do you want from me?" he whispered. Yami smirked and whispered into Yugi's ear. "You." Yami then playfully nipped Yugi's earlobe. Yugi didn't understand. Yami smirked. "You must be dying for a bath. Come." he ordered. Taking Yugi's hand, Yami guided him to a room with a small pool of water. He pointed to the pool. "You can bathe here. I'm going in with you." he stated. Yugi glared at him, Yami smirked.
Yugi began to undress, regardless of the pharoah watching him. Yugi, fully naked, waded into the pool. Yugi stared at his reflection in the water, then found the Yami's reflection near his. "Get away from me." he hissed. Yami smirked, then held Yugi in his arms. "Not until I bathe you, little one." Yami then poured oil into Yugi's crown of tri-colored hair and began to wash. Yugi tried not to melt into Yami's embrace, but he couldn't help it. 'He treated me so gently last night, and he's so gentle with me now. Does he love me?' he thought. Yugi then looked at the pharoah's eyes in the reflection.
"Why are you so gentle?" he asked. Yami just continued to wash Yugi's hair. Yugi glared at the pharoah's reflection. "What's the matter? Afraid to answer?" Yami then stopped washing Yugi's hair. "Because I don't want to hurt you, for some reason." he answered. "That's all I can tell you." Yami then got back to washing Yugi's hair. Yugi found this reason fair enough, and dropped the subject.
"Where is my friend, Jou?" asked Yugi. Yami smirked. "He is with the High Priest. He might be alive, or he might be dead." he answered. Yugi growled. Yami then stopped washing Yugi's hair. "You are done. New clothes are laid out for you right over there. Change and meet me in my chambers." he ordered. Yugi then heard the pharoah step out and entered his bedroom. Yugi headed over to the new clothes, dressed in them, then headed to the pharoah's chambers.
Yami turned around and found Yugi getting out. Yami smirked, but then he had second thoughts. 'I shouldn't take him again right now. He's still innocent, and I did kind of rape him last night, but I can't stop touching him. He's perfect, and mine' he thought. "Well, is there anything you want to say before I go out of this room and look for my best friend?" asked Yugi. Yami smirked at him. "We'll meet again tonight, little one. Be prepared." he warned. Yugi snorted. "Don't worry, I will.' he said. Yugi then walked to the door. But before stepping out, he turned to Yami. "By the way, my name is Yugi." he added. Yami was surprised at his gesture, but before he could say anything, Yugi was already out the door.
'Why did I give him my name?' Yugi thought as he walked around the halls. 'It's like I want him to know who I am. Plus he's handsome, gentle, and he seems to care about me in an odd way. I think I'm falling for the pharoah!' he thought. Back at the room, Yami was also thinking. 'It seems that I want to protect him, care for him, and things like that. Plus, I don't want to hurt him. He's so innocent, even with his fighting personality. I love him' he thought. (a/n They're getting there! Whoo!! Sorry guys, but the power of love didn't have anything to do with the lemon scenes for Yugi and Jou. They didn't realize they're feelings yet. Speaking of Jou, let's see what's happening on his side!)
Seto was face to face with Jou, looking very, very pissed. "Well, I see the puppy is not happy with his master." he taunted. Jou growled. "Cut the dog jokes! You knew that the collar would take away my strength! Why?" he demanded to know. Seto chuckled. "The dog's smarter than he looks." he stated. Jou threw the knife, landing into the wall inches away from Seto's head. "Nice aim. Needs work." Seto said. Jou growled. "You turned me into your toy, you bastard!!" he shouted. Seto smirked, then started walking closer to Jou. Jou started backing away. "If I considered you my toy I would've thrown you out a long time ago. But you're my dog, and I like to keep my dogs." he said. Jou growled.
"I am not your dog, and I never will be!" he vowed. Seto then caressed Jou's face, gently. Jou was a little scared at this gesture, since this is what started last night. "You are my dog, and I'm your master. I won't hurt you without a reason, but I will if you keep behaving like this." he warned. 'Why don't I want to hurt him? He's just a slave. But a very pretty slave, who's eyes are really emotional' he thought. 'I think I'm falling for this guy'
Jou glared at him. "Where is my friend Yugi?" he demanded. Seto shrugged.
"With the pharoah. But I don't know if he's alive or not." Jou pushed away Seto's caressing hand. "He's alive. I'd feel it if he wasn't. I'm going to go find him." he said. Seto shook his head. "You aren't going anywhere." he growled. Jou glared at him.
"Look, I don't know about you, but I care about the people I love. I care about Yugi, so I'm going to go see if he's all right. Is there ever a time when you cared about the people you love?" he asked. Seto turned away from him. 'Yeah, there's you' "No." he answered. Jou snorted. "That's just like you. Cold hearted. Well, I'm going to go find Yugi, when your heart becomes red with love again, call me." he said, then walked out the door.
Seto saw the blond walk out the door, and looked out at the balcony. Seto walked to the balcony and looked over the magnificent view. "Pup, you're the only one I care about. I just don't know how to tell you that." Jou was walking down the halls, looking for his friend Yugi. 'I was a little harsh to him back there, but he doesn't care about me! Does he?' he thought. 'I care about him, even though he's a little crazy. I have a crush on him, and I can't tell him. Not yet anyway'
Suddenly, he bumped into someone, causing the person to fall down. "Sorry, you okay?" he asked. Jou looked down to see who it was. It was Yugi, with a smiling face and kind eyes. "Jou!" he greeted happily. Jou grinned. "Yugi!" The two hugged, then smiled at each other. "Has the High Priest been treating you well?" asked Yugi. Jou nodded.
"He's okay. What about you? Are you okay?" he asked worriedly. Yugi nodded. "I'm fine, I'm just more worried about you. Ou, the pharoah and the High Priest both put a spell on our collars so we can't use our fighting strength. Did you know?" said Yugi. Jou nodded. "Yeah, I got really pissed at the High Priest for doing that. I was really worried about you though. Bud, we've gotta get out of here, let Shizuka and the others know that we're okay." Yugi nodded. "But how are we going to get away? Since we don't have our strength anymore, it'll be harder." Yugi warned. Jou grinned. "Don't worry, I have a plan." Yugi was starting to get worried about what that plan might be.
Meanwhile back at the oasis, everyone was set and ready to go. "Okay everyone, all set?" asked Honda. Everyone nodded. "Okay, we just need to get our weapons and clothes on, then we'll head out." So everyone started putting on their cloaks and polishing their weapons. Marik stepped outside, to get some fresh air, and there he saw Malik getting the ship ready.
Marik couldn't help but stare at him. 'He looks good. Nice ass too.' he thought. Marik was just about to go over and claim Malik on the spot when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Marik turned around in frustration. It was Bakura. "Careful now Marik. You don't want to make a bad impression, now do you?" he smirked. Marik growled. "Shut up." Soon everyone was cloaked, including Bakura and Marik, and armed with their skills and weapons. Shizuka was in front. "Okay, let's go!" she said. The group left Malik behind, with Marik looking back occasionally, and headed toward the pharoah's palace. 'Jou' thought Shizuka. 'Yugi, please be all right' she prayed.
