Chapter 6: Feelings rise within
Jou looked at his best friend with curious eyes. "So, what's the plan?" he asked. Yugi looked around to make sure no one was around quickly. He turned back to Jou. "Okay, you and I tell the pharoah we have to walk around the palace. The way they look at us, they'll probably fall for it. Then, when no one's looking, you and I run for it, and DON'T look back Jou. The rest of the gang should be coming now to rescue us, so we'll run into them and we'll walk back to the place and never come back."
Jou looked at Yugi as though he were crazy. "I hate to tell you this, Yugi. But since we're the pleasure slaves for the High Priest and the pharoah, they might not let us leave. Besides, before we were captured, there was a rumor going on about the collars we're wearing do more than sap our strength." Yugi looked at him with question. "Like what?" Jou sighed. "They literally keep us in the palace." Yugi now looked skeptical. Jou looked at the one of the exits of the palace.
"Okay Yugi. Since no one's here, we can try to run for it now. On my signal, we both run for it. Ready?" Both of then got into running position. "Go!" cried Jou. The two started running at their fastest pace, but just when they reached the outside, the collars glowed and yanked them back into the palace, sending them backwards. Yugi and Jou landed on their bottoms, groaning. Jou rubbed his sore bottom and looked at Yugi. "You okay, pal?" he asked. Yugi groaned, but nodded.
"Now what are we going to do?" Yugi asked. Jou sighed. "I guess we'll just have to wait until the rest of the gang arrive to rescue us. We're stuck here no matter what." Yugi looked down at the ground. Jou turned to his friend and patted his back. "Hey, don't be so down. Our friends may have had to leave us behind, but if there's one thing I know about them, they don't repeat their regrets. They'll come for us, and release us. Cheer up, k?" Yugi smiled, then hugged Jou. Unaware to the two, Seto was watching the entire thing in the shadows. He left them to go talk to Yami.
Yami was in the throne room, supposingly thinking about the kingdom. 'Yugi' he thought. 'You have no idea how much I care for you' Suddenly he heard a knock on the doors. He glared at the doors. "Come in." he ordered coldly. Seto came in and closed the doors. "Is this a bad time?" Seto asked. Yami softened his gaze and shook his head. "No. Sorry." he answered curtly.
Seto came up to his pharoah and sighed. "Thinking about that slave of yours?" Yami nodded. "He makes me feel emotions I've never felt before. I need him here." Yami looked at his high priest. "What about you? I see you like your new slave." Seto looked at the kingdom. The outside was bustling, but to the pharoah and his high priest, it was quiet. "That pup, I can't get enough of him. He's talking to your slave right now, pharoah. They are talking about their comrads coming to rescue them. They embrace like brothers." Yami looked at Seto with sad eyes.
"What they want is freedom. What we want is them. Our desires clash." he stated. Seto nodded. "So what should we do? Have our desires, or give them theirs?" he asked, looking at Yami in the eyes. Yami looked at Seto with emotionless eyes. "You know the answer as well as I do." Seto nodded, and the two set out to go find Yugi and Jou.
Meanwhile, Yugi and Jou were walking around the palace. "Man, this palace is huge! How do people find their way around here?" Jou wondered out loud. Yugi chuckled. "I guess they have to get used to living here." he answered. Jou smiled. Suddenly, the two came across a closed door. "Hey Yugi, want to look inside that room?" Jou asked with a goofy grin on his face. Yugi sighed. "We shouldn't. We're probably not allowed in there anyway." Jou laughed. "That's why we should go in!" Jou grabbed Yugi's hand and ran to the door and opened it. Inside the room were jewels and gold. Tons of it. Chests, piles, and statues holding large gems littered the entire room. Yugi and Jou were wide-eyed and jaw-dropped.
"Let's go look around." said Jou. Jou then went into the room. Yugi absentmindedly followed. The two looked around, picking up handfuls of gold and dropping it again, opening chests to see what's inside, and making comments about the statues. Yugi then saw a pure black chest. 'That's weird. Most of the chests here are brown or gold' he thought. Yugi went over the black chest and opened it. Inside were blood red rubies as big as Yugi's palm. Yugi picked one up and gazed at it.
'It looks just like the pharoah's eyes' he thought. Yugi then remembered how gentle and kind Yami was to him. 'He's acting like he cares about me. I wonder if he loves me' Jou kept looking around and saw a silver chest tucked away. Curious, Jou walked over to the chest and opened it with his slender hands. Inside were deep sparkling sapphires as big as Jou's wide palm. Jou picked one up and tossed it up and down. 'The sapphires look just like his eyes' he thought. 'The High Priest who doesn't care about anyone'
Suddenly they heard someone clearing their throat. Both Yugi and Jou jumped and turned around. Yami and Seto were standing at the doorway. Yami spoke first. 'Both Seto and I both know that you two are no happy here. You want to be with your friends. The ones who care about you and love you. So we'll set you free." he announced. Seto murmured an incantation, and the collars let go of Jou and Yugi's sleek necks and dropped onto the marble floor.
"Both of you are free to leave. You'll also find that you have your strength back. You can leave anytime you wish. Don't take anything." said Seto in a cold voice. Yami and Seto left, without looking at Yugi and Jou.
Jou and Yugi looked at each other. "Did that guy just say we could leave?" asked Jou. Yugi nodded. "We should go meet our friends and let them know we're okay." he said. Jou nodded, and the two started walking to the exit.
Yami went up to his room and leaned on the balcony. 'I know he'll be happy if I do this, but I know he'll never come back' Yami thought as he looked over his vast kingdom. He then saw Yugi and Jou walk out of the palace and into the village, talking happily and heading back to their friends. Then, for the first time in Yami's entire life, in both childhood and now, a single crystal blue tear came dripping down his cheek, and fell on his balled up hand.
Yugi and Jou walked to the desert, where they met up with Serenity and everybody. "Hey you guys!" Yugi called. Serenity and everybody looked ahead and saw Yugi and Jou running toward them. "Yugi! Jou!" they shouted, running toward them too. Serenity and Jou embraced each other tightly. "Oh Jou I was so worried about you. I wanted to get you home as soon as we could. I'm sorry we didn't come sooner!" she said, with tears raining down from her eyes. Jou rubbed Serenity's back as a means of comfort.
"It's okay sis. We're okay, and we're glad to be back." he said. He then felt Honda hugging his back. "Glad to have you back, buddy." Jou smiled. Yugi was being embraced by Teana and Ryou. "Yugi! Are you all right? What did the pharoah do to you? How did you and Jou get out?" asked Ryou in a worried voice. Yugi smiled. "I'm fine, I'm fine Ryou. Don't worry anymore. Jou and I are both safe and sound." Teana smiled and gave Yugi a small hug. "Oh Yugi I'm so glad you're back!" she said. Marik and Bakura stayed where they are, but they did say their greetings to Yugi.
"Uh, guys, we have a few questions to ask." Yugi announced as the embrace was over. "Yeah." Jou agreed. "Why are you all armed?" asked Yugi. "And who are those two looneys back there?" added Jou, pointing to Bakura and Marik.
When they all got back to the oasis, Yugi told Jou who Bakura and Marik were, and told him everything. Even the part about Serenity's secret training. After restraining Jou from killing the first thing in sight, mainly Yugi, Serenity told Jou and Yugi their plan. Yugi and Jou understood, and Jou got up to do some sword training while Yugi sat outside the house near the well.
Yugi took out the ruby he snuck out of the palace. He tried to see Yami's face when Yami and Seto both delivered the news and set them free. 'His eyes, they were full of hurt and pain. As if he didn't want me to leave, but had to allow me to leave' he thought. Yugi then looked at the ruby in his hand. 'It reminds me so much of Yami, and how much I actually enjoy being with him' Yugi then made a decision that will affect the group, something the Yugi he used to be would never consider.
Yugi looked at the clear sky, and said in a soft but clear voice. "I'm going back to Yami."
