Chapter 5? : Past relations .... Reunions ...

*Jou* pov

My body hurt all over as I rolled to my side. I had waken up a hour ago to find myself on a nice bed. Though comfortable it still hurt my body. My body was black and blue all over. My stomach and legs were the worst though! I tried to stand up but it hurt so much. Damn Kaiba!!! his royal-ass can go get eaten by a royal monster!!! grrr! I am feeling so angry and pissed ...and I haven't felt this emotion a lot. I am alone here ... Mai is gone. Fathers ...dead {={ } ...And the one who beat the shit out of my was the one who stabbed my father. Someday ... Kaiba, I will kill you and that bastard with the long hair. I rolled to my other side where it didn't hurt so much and tried to fall asleep.

A hour later, I heard a door open and I turned around to see who it was. It was a small boy who looked 15 with long black hair.

"I see you are up. How are you feeling?" he asked

"Sore as hell ...but I am good thanks to you" I said remembering the last bit before I blackened out back there. He had told them to stop.

"I know! I am angry at big Brother! He had no right to order you to be beaten for such a petty thing. But, his pride and ego are very important to him" sighed the young boy.

"I know! kaiba is a ...Big Brother? ... BROTHER!!" I looked at the kid. He starred back and blinked a few times then smiled "Yeah, I'm his little brother Mokuba" he laughed. I nearly fell of the bed.

"that creep has a brother!!! But your ... nice ... and he's well, a asshole" I said surprised. Mokuba shrugged "well, it was how he was raised. A Dragon Prince needs to get toughen to become a dragon king. Our step-father really pushed him."

"Oh! well, he sheer damn pushed him a lot" to bad not off a cliff I thought.

"so ...you are his new slave .. jou right?" he asked

"Yes" I said "I was .. the dragon prince of red eyes" I muttured.

"yah..i don't like this whole dominating plan he has going on"

"what plan?" I asked

"He wants to conquor the other dragon clans" Moukuba said. I was going to answer "like hell he is" but then a nock at the door interupted me. "Come in" shouted Mokuba. The door opened and I screamed silently 'oh ra!!!'

"Hello Jou"

Malik was sitting on his bed ... well, Bakura's bed still chained to the bed. Damn that ass. Bakura had came back but then left right after. Maliks tummy grumbled "Didn't that ass think that even 'slaves' get hungry ...bastard." Malik muttured to himself.

"I know they do...thats why I brought you this" said a grumpy voice. Bakura had just returned from training. He through a box at Malik which smacked him in the face.

"bastard" Malik muttured opening it up to look inside. It was nothing great but it was something. "thanks" Malik muttured sarcasticly.

"your welcome. Now, hurry and eat." said Bakura

"why?" asked Malik

"because, I am going to a meeting and I want to show off my new slacve" said Bakura

"aren't you afraid I will embarass you? What makes you think i will listen to you!" asked Malik.

"because" Bakura moved to Malik and gripped his hair hard "if you don't, then you will feel very much pain. I will break every bone in your body. I am not a patient master. Now scrub down the shit, so we can go" ordered Bakura. Malik growled at him and started to eat. Bakura smirked watching his new slave eat. His new slave was very beautiful. As he was looking at Malik he realized that his slaves clothes needed changing before his meeting. Bakura got up and moved to a closet that he hadn't opened for some time. Well, he hadn't had any pretty slaves like this for a while. He opened it up and starrd at the clothing folded neatly on certain racks. Bakura starred at them thinking

"descions, descions" He decided to take out a nice tight black tanktop and tight black leather pants. Then he reached down and pulled out a nice pair of black boots from the shoes lined up. He walked over to his slave and through the items at his feet.

"what the hell is this?" asked Malik

"your new clothes. I cannot let you look like shit while there." Bakura pulled out a key and unlocked Malik.

"now, get dressed and make yourself pretty. We leave soon ..." ordered Bakura. Malik grumbeled but didn't feel like fighting and pulled on the clothes.

"But ... how? you .." Jou was at a loss for words starring at the young blonde women infront of him. The women smiled "I couldn't just leave you ...besides escaping was impossible".

"Mai!!! I am glad you are alright" Jou tried to get up to hug her but he was still really sore. He groaned and leaned back down. Mai laughed and walked over to him and hugged him.

"I am gonna kill whoever hurt you!" Mai said angry. She couldn't stand to see Jou hurt and bruised.

"I doubt if you a slut like you could kill me ..." said a cold voice. Jou groaned seeing who it was.

"ugh!" said Jou

"who is this?" asked Mai

"my brother" said Mokuba "Seto kaiba, king of the blue eyes and now ... the red eyes"

"oh" said Mai

"The mutt needed a lesson. Now, will you tell me brother why my 'slave' is here with you and not me" asked Seto a little angry.

"because Bakura was going to beat him to death. I cannot believe you Seto!!" said Mokuba angry.

"This is my property Mokuba. I don't want you to go against me again. Now, mutt get up" ordered Seto

"I am not a MUTT!" screamed Jou from the bed. Seto growled and walked over to the bed yanking Jou up. Jou growled and tried to release himself from Seto's grip. Seto growled and through Jou out of bed.

"get up, mutt. I want you back in my room now" Seto starred down coldy at Jou. Jou growled and a sobb of pain escaped his lips. His body was sore all over. "Now mutt! before i really lose my temper" warned Seto. Jou growled and got up slowly. He had to obey.

"big brother! how can you be so mean! can't you see he's hurt!" shouted Mokuba. "Your turning into our step-father! Can't you see that! I hate this side of you!!! I HATE IT!" Mokuba shouted and ran out of the room angry. Seto just growled.

"see what you did you stupid dog!" Seto growled and kicked Jou down again to his knee's. Jou fell down hitting his head hard, he wanted to faint but he wouldn't allow it. He wouldn't be ...weak. Damn it ...Jou's vision began to become blurry. He got up, knee's shaken by his weakened state. Seto walked out of the door "follow me, 'slave' " he ordered. Jou walked after him, trying to catch up but it was to much. he fainted ....

Malik looked at the ground as he trailed behind Bakura heading to the meeting. He was pissed, how come his country was taken over. And in a day!!! Well, not really just the capital and mainly the control. He was sure there was still rebels fighting. Bakura jerked on the chain that attached to a collar around Malik's neck. "hurry up" he barked. Malik quickened his pace. Stupid Bakura! Bakura lead them to large doors and he shouted at the gaurds by it to open it up. The guards quickly opened the door as fast as they could. They didn't want to anger Bakura.

Bakura walked into the room, Malik trailing behind him. Bakura walked to a giant table and plopped down on the chair. He ordered Malik to kneel and kneel Malik did.

"new slave?" asked Captain Saiyu

"Yep, quite a beauty too." said Bakura he looked around "where's seto?"

"he's late" said a voice. malik looked up at the voice. It sounded like ... no couldn't be ..

"why?" asked Bakura

"I don't know. But, we cannot start our meeting without him." said the same voice. Malik's hear beat faster. It sounded so much ... like ...

"Someone go fetch Seto, now" said the voice again. Malik looked up off the floor at the area where the voice was coming from. He gasped and jumped up

"MARIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Malik shouted wide eyed. Malik was greeted with a smirk "Hello Malik. What brings you here?"
