INNOCENT
Yugi sighed. He was being led to the questioning room. He hated that room. No wait scratch that. He detested it. How many scars had he gotten from there? Too many to count. He didn't know why they were so hard on him. They didn't send everyone else there as much as they did him. His worst fear was that they'd hurt Jounochi more because he was his friend. Friend. Yugi couldn't remember the last time he had a friend. But he was worried. Jounochi went before him and hadn't returned. A rough shove from one of the guards brought him back to the present.
"Here we are you little gaki(brat)! Have fun." He smirked shoving him into the room and locking the door shut. Yugi gulped.
"Hello Yugi." A voice said from the dark.
"Let's just get this over with." Yugi snarled.
"Tut tut little Yugi." The voice said as a man stepped out of the darkness. He was huge. Tall and buff he stood a full 6'6. Towering over Yugi he sneered. "So we meet again." He said his black hair falling over his face.
"What did you do to Jounochi Sokoji?" Yugi asked glancing around, worry evident on his face.
"Oh him. He wasn't very fun. He wouldn't scream. A lot like you." Sokoji said jerking his thumb to the dark corner of the room.
Yugi squinted and just managed to make out the silhouette of his friend. "Jou!" Yugi gasped rushing over to his fallen friend.
"Y-yug'. Be c-careful man." Jounochi spat blood on the floor.
"Don't worry Jou. I've been here longer than you. I'm used to it." Yugi said smiling. His smile didn't reach his eyes, which looked worried still. "You just worry about your-" Yugi started only to get pulled back and punch squarely in the jaw.
"Yug!!" Jounochi gasped but could do nothing as his friend was repeatedly hit.
"Why did you do it Yugi? Why'd you kill her?" Sokoji said kicking Yugi in the chest.
"I haven't killed anyone." Yugi spat. "I have no idea who you're talking about."
"You know damn right who I'm talking about. You killed Aiko Takada. Admit it!" Sokoji yelled throwing Yugi against the wall. Yugi said nothing. Sokoji grabbed his hair and pulled him over to a huge bin full of freezing water with chips of ice. Dunking Yugi's head into the freezing water Sokoji waited. Before Yugi could drown he pull him out, coughing and gagging. "Why Yugi?!" he yelled.
"I didn't do anything!" Yugi screamed tears pouring from his face.
Sokoji just smiled and pulled Yugi to another bin full of searing hot water. Yugi took a big gulp of breath before his head was roughly shoved into the water. Before Yugi could stop himself he screamed out in pain, his breath leaving him as he tried to keep consciousness. He could faintly hear Jounochi screaming his name.
Once again before Sokoji pulled him out before he could drown. "Tell me!!" he screamed in Yugi's face, spit flying. When Yugi didn't answer he punched him in the face. "Worthless piece of crap." He said flinging him beside Jounochi. He walked to the door and told the guards to take them to their cells.
The last thing Yugi saw was Jounochi being pulled roughly up before he lost consciousness.

1 year later
"Yami I think this is getting out of hand." Seto said, once again kneeling in front of the pharaoh. "If someone else is leading them then they might start a rebellion against you." He continued, standing up.
"I suppose your right as always." Yami said glancing around. "What do you think Hiroto?"
"I think you should Yami. I can't protect you from that many people!" Honda said smiling.
"Hmmmmm. Well two against one. Looks like you two win!" Yami said getting up from his throne.
"You haven't asked me Yami. I'm hurt." Anzu Mazaki said stepping from the shadows.
"Oh hi Anzu. I didn't see you there." Yami said. "So what's your opinion?"
"I don't think you should go. It might be a trap." Anzu replied darkly.
"Man Anzu what's gotten in to you?" Honda asked surprised at her harsh tone.
"Nothings wrong!" she spat then stormed off.
"I understand a lot of things." Seto said. "But I just don't understand girls."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jounochi sat in his cell. Once again they had dragged Yugi off. But he was confused. They didn't take him in the direction of the questioning room. So where did they take him? Jounochi was really worried about his friend. Everyday his state worsened. How much more could Yugi take? Just then the sound of a cell door opened and Jounochi looked around. He smiled. Yugi was back! "Hey man what happened? Are you okay?" he asked moving over to the bars that separated their cells.
Yugi stared at him and pointed to his throat and made a motion as though his was getting a shot. Jounochi gasped. "You can't talk! They put something in you didn't they?"
Yugi nodded sadly. Jounochi clenched his fists. "I'll kill those bastards. I swear it."
Yugi shook his head, grabbed a pen and wrote something on his shirt. He motioned Jounochi closer so he could read it. It said: Violence isn't the answer Jou. Jounochi smiled. Yugi never did like violence. Just then the lunch bell ringed.
Jounochi stood up. "You coming Yug'?" he asked. Yugi shook his head and Jounochi nodded. Sometimes people just want to be alone for awhile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Here we are." Seto said stopping the chariot. They were in front of a huge gray cement building. "Wow it's huge!"
"Yeah. Not as big as the castle though." Yami said. (Do pharaoh's live in castles or are they called something else? Oh well.)
"Let's go inside." Honda said standing by Yami as a bodyguard.
"You wanna see one of the prisoners pharaoh sir?" A guard said looking Yami up and down.
"Yes. Is that too much to ask?" Yami said glaring at the guard.
"Well they're all having lunch right now. Well all except one." The guard answered, obviously nervous by Yami's glare.
"Then we'll see that one." Yami said. "Lead us to him."
"As you wish. But I warn you. He's a toughie." The guard smirked before leading them down the dank and mold smelling hallway. The mold stung Yami's nostrils and almost made him gag. Almost. After what seemed like forever the guard finally stopped. "Here we are." He said before walking away.
Yami grabbed a nearby chair and sat on it. Honda leaned against the wall and Seto just stood there. It took a moment for Yami to find where the person was. They were in the far dark corner, curled up in a ball.
"Hello. My name's Yami what's yours?" Yami asked. The person flinched at his voice but said nothing. "What's your name?" Yami tried again. He was already loosing patients. He was never good at being patient. Again the voice didn't reply. Yami frowned. Why wasn't the prisoner answering? A small whimper made him realize the person was crying. "It's okay I'm not going to hurt you." Yami said tentatively.
All of a sudden the guard came back. "Sorry talking time is over. He's going to get questioned again." He said opening the cell and heading for the prisoner. The ball visibly stiffened. Yami frowned again. This person was scared out of their wits. "Get up you worthless piece of crap." The guard said kicking the person before roughly pulling them up and throwing them into the light. Yami, Seto and Honda gasped at the same time. The prisoner could be no more the 11 or 12 years old! What could he possibly have done?
"Wait!" Yami said reaching out to the prisoner. "I want to buy him. As a slave I mean."
The guard stared at him. "I don't think so you'd have to talk to the boss." He said.
"Then take me to him." Yami said grabbing the young boy by the arm.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jounochi sat at the table staring at the window leading to the boss' room. He needed to see if Yugi would be lead there again. All of a sudden a guard walked by followed by a priest, a body guard and . . . the Pharaoh!! And Yugi was with them! "YUGI!" Jounochi yelled out food flying in all directions. He jumped up, ran to the window and started banging on it. He saw them all turn around and Yugi's eyes widen before five guards were on him punching him to the ground. Soon the door opened and the guard came out and grabbed him pulling him out of the room to where Yugi was. "Yugi!" Jounochi yelled again running over to his friend. He then noticed the pharaoh again and dropped to his knees.
"Get up." Yami said slightly embarrassed. "Lead on." He said to the guard. Yami motioned for Jounochi and Yugi to follow.
A few minutes later the group stepped into a beautifully furnished room. A man was in the far corner sitting at a huge wooden desk. Yami frowned. Wood was hard to come by in Egypt. The man turned around and Yugi whimpered again backing away. Jounochi growled. "Hello." The man said bowing to Yami. "My name's Sokoji. Is something the matter?" he asked.
"I would like to buy these two slaves." Yami said nodding to Yugi and Jounochi who was glaring at the man.
"I'm sorry your greatness but they're not for sale." The man said smoothly. Too smoothly in Yami's opinion. He said it so smooth Yami thought he was mocking him. "But you're welcome to any of the others."
"No I want these two." Yami said now glaring at the man. "And I always get what I want."
"Not this time. Either take someone else or get off my property." Sokoji said now openly mocking. "My master would not want these two taken."
"Your master?" Yami growled. "You know the penalty if you have any other master before me."
"I know but my mistress will save me." Sokoji spat.
"Mistress? Your mistress will not save you from this! MIND BREAK!!!" Yami yelled thrusting his hand out his Sennin Eye glowing gold. Sokoji screamed and disappeared.
"Wow." Jounochi said. "That was cool!!"
"C'mon." Yami said walking out of the room, Honda and Seto leading the newly freed prisoners.
