Chapter 2

Was that talking? Harsh voices? Why were they talking so coldly.so cruelly.why.why did the pain hurt? My eyes closed my vision in darkness. Though I could see nothing, I could hear more than I wanted. Cruel voices.cold voices.dark and evil.was that a scream? I shivered. I was cold. I was alone. All alone.alone.

"I don't see why we don't just kill 'em now!"

"We can't! The Pharaoh wants to see them for trial before killin' them."

A fear rose within me. It was worse than pain, much worse. Where were my friends and family.I had none. I was an outcast.I was nothing.I.

My eyes snapped open. I was leading my mind into it's own suicide. I had to stop thinking. I slowly sat up, a pain in my chest. It throbbed and ached. I had never really felt pain before. I had gotten a cut and maybe a sand grain in my eyes (a/n: that stings!) but I have never felt real pain. At the time, I felt sick feeling it, but I was also happy knowing that no one had been there to get rid of the pain. I had gotten it and now it stuck with me. I will admit that it is a little crazy to say that you want pain, but I had my reasons.I'm not insane.

As I looked around me, that was, what I could look at because of not being able to see anything at all. There was a spot of light in the place I was is. I felt the ground. Cement. I guessed I was in a dungeon, especially after what happened to me and.Joey!

I searched around me frantically. Where was Joey? Was he ok? Was he hurt? Was he-

".Yugi.?"

I smiled. "Joey! You there? Where are you?"

I heard him groan. "I'm right here beside you bud."

I reached out my hand and felt an arm. "Oh Joey! Are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine Yuge.just a few bump and bruises, but I think I'll make it."

"So," I said. "Where are we?"

"Most likely in the Pharaoh's dungeons. I am surprised that we haven't been killed yet.maybe we'll go on trial first and then."

His voice faded off, but he didn't need to finish his sentence. I knew what would happen, but at least I could speak my mind to the Pharaoh. Even if I was going to lose my life. Lose my family. Lose my chance of finding what I wanted. I snapped out of my thoughts. Once again, my mind was out to consume me. I had to get a hobby.

"So Yuge, really tell me why you left your home. I know it's more than your telling me." Joey said.

"Well Joey.I can't really say. I know why, but at the same time, I am just as clue less as you about the situation." I said.

"Were you searching for something?" he asked me.

I was silent for a few moments and then I turned to Joey, which could have been just air. I couldn't tell in the darkness.

"I thought I was."

Suddenly there was a rattle of key and a door was opened to where we were. As the light shone in from a torch of fire, I saw that we were indeed in a dungeon and it was very small. The man wit the torch in his hand instructed two men behind him to get us. Joey and I struggled a bit, but it was no use. We were too tired and sore to do anything. All we could do was let the guards drag us up the stone steps.

As we got higher to the top of the stairs, there was more light. At first it was blinding, but then our eyes adjusted to the blazing light. We entered a very large room. It had statues standing everywhere and it was the fanciest place we had seen yet. At the other end of the room I saw a throne. The Pharaoh's throne. I shivered but only a little.

We were drag over to the throne and by the time we got there, there was someone sitting in it. It was the Pharaoh and when I looked up at him, I was shocked. He looked exactly like me! I thought that I had already died or was having a weird dream, but the pain in my chest seemed to make me think that it was real.

I saw that Joey was looking up at the Pharaoh as well in amazement. There was so much similarity. He had my tri-coloured hair and skin colour. All the was the same except for that he was taller and more muscular, as well as his eyes. Amethyst. Such a dark and mysterious colour. So.beautiful. Beautiful?! He was a killer of the innocence. What was I thinking? The pain had to be getting to me.

During the trial, I didn't talk at all. It was mostly the guards. I was disgusted. They said that Joey and I had attacked a guard and didn't listen when ordered to. Well, half of it was true, but we hadn't started anything at all. I had almost forgotten why I had wanted to see the Pharaoh in the first place.

"And so it has been decided," the Pharaoh said. "At dawn, these too will be hanged for their actions. Before they are taken away, I would like to ask the criminals a few questions."

I was confused and surprised by what he said. What would he have to ask or talk to us about?

The Pharaoh walked down from his throne and approached us. He then reached in his pocket and pulled out.my chain necklace! A bead of sweat ran down my face. I had forgotten all about that!

"Does this belong to any one of you?" he asked in his powerful voice, the chain swinging from his hand.

None of us answered. One of the guards cleared his throat.

"Oh, Great Pharaoh, the scrawny shrimp was the one who had the chain around his neck. I saw him wearing it when I talked to him."

I growled and tried to pull away from the guards holding me down. The Pharaoh saw my action and he kneeled down to my height. He waved the chain in front of me.

"Yours?" he asked starring into my eyes.

I looked back into his and was captured. Why, I do not know. I couldn't look away. Inside those dark, piercing eyes.was that a caring heart? Or was it.my eyes widened. His were clouded with lust. My heart rate sped up. Why did he have that look in his eyes for me? I looked away and the Pharaoh sighed.

"Is this yours?"

"Yes," I answered.

The Pharaoh had a surprised look in his eyes. "Is it now? Now will you tell me where you would get such a thing.it is pure gold, did you know that?"

I nodded. "Keep it. I don't need for where I'm going. But I am sure that when you find out that you killed innocent people, it won't even matter to you will it?"

"What do you mean?" the Pharaoh asked intrigued.

"What I mean is that you are going to kill two people who haven't done a thing wrong. Your guards were picking on us, we weren't bothering them at all." I said.

"Is this true?" the Pharaoh asked the head guard.

"No sir! They are lying!" he spat.

"Hmm." the Pharaoh said, obviously thinking.

"You-your not thinking of changing your mind are you?" the guard asked.

"Well, now that you mention it.I have a better use for these two instead of just throwing them away."

I looked up at the Pharaoh. He was gong to spare our lives? Something fishy was going on. (a/n: I know, weird)

"Hmm.I think that their best use for be for serving. They will be slaves for my service." The Pharaoh said looking down at me and starring into my eyes again. A tremor was sent through me. The same look of lust. He turned to his guards.

"Take them to their chambers and get them new clothes." He then looked back at Joey and I and smiled. "I will see you later this evening."

The Pharaoh then turned sharply on his heel and strode out of the throne room, two guards rushing after him. Why did I have a bad feeling about this, even though I was alive?

~*~

Having new clothes defiantly felt good, especially after mine that were torn and dusty and dirty from the sand. I wore white robes, silky and thin. Joey wore the same clothes as I did.of course, his fit better. I was a little smaller.

When we were finished getting ready in our chambers, we walked to the Pharaoh's throne room. When we walked in, I saw that there was someone else, standing by the Pharaoh's side. He was wearing purple robes, had brown hair and watched us with blue, icy eyes. As we approached the throne, we bowed to the Pharaoh and his 'friend'.

As we kneeled before them, I noticed that the Pharaoh was walking down towards us, the unknown man as well. The man in the purple robes reached out and lifted Joey's head up.

I knew that this annoyed Joey. He showed nothing but hatred in his eyes. Still the man starred into Joey's eyes. I suddenly saw Joey's body shake. Was he afraid? The man then took his hand away and turned to the Pharaoh.

"He should be fine. He has a determined look in his eyes. I like that."

"All right Seto," the Pharaoh said, now turning to us. "As slaves, you will each serve someone in higher position. You with the blonde hair."

Joey looked up at the Pharaoh. "Yes."

"You will be serving the High Priest. Your friend will be serving me."

Joey and I exchanged glances. We were going to be apart? They couldn't! We were friends! Then again.why would they care?

"Don't worry," the High Priest said still looking at Joey. "You will see each other at times."

We didn't say anything. This seemed to amuse the higher-powered men. Seto, the High Priest then whispered something in the Pharaoh's ear. The Pharaoh smiled. It chilled me. I hated when I didn't know what people were saying.

"Stand," the Pharaoh commanded.

Joey and I stood up slowly and looked at our masters. I sighed. Why did my life start getting worse after I tried to get a new one? Maybe I should have stuck to marrying girls who wanted my money and ruled over a city of people. Then again.it wouldn't have been more exciting.

"Puppy will be of good use to me," the High Priest snickered.

Joey growled. Puppy? What kind of insane High Priest was this? Seto then took Joey's arm and pulled him towards a hall. "Let's go my puppy."

Joey looked back at me for help, but I could do nothing. The Pharaoh had an arm on my shoulder. All I could do was smile bitterly at Joey, and before being pulled again, he smiled too.

"A good friend?" the Pharaoh asked.

I nodded.

"Don't talk too much now, do we? I'll have to fix that."

I rolled my eyes, but was glad that the Pharaoh didn't see me. He turned to me and grinned mysteriously. I swallowed. His smile grew. Did he enjoy making me nervous?

"Come with me young slave.or do you have a name?" he asked me.

I wasn't about to give him my name, but the look in his eyes.I had to.

"Yugi," I said clearly

"Yugi." he repeated the name and then smiled. "Come with me Yugi."

I followed him down numerous hallways and corridors until we reached a large door. It was wooden as well, but was lined with gold and was stronger. The Pharaoh reached out and turned the door handle (a/n: did they even have doors? I don't think so.oh well) and open the door wide. When I stepped inside, I was speechless. The place was huge! It was probably the most comfortable place, a large bed in the middle of it all. It had to be the Pharaoh's chambers.

"Yugi?" the Pharaoh asked me.

I looked into his darkened eyes. "Yes Pharaoh?"

"You may call me Yami."

[. Yami's POV .]

"You may call me Yami," I told the small copy of myself.

I chuckled. He looked confused and nervous. I didn't mean to frighten him, but you had to admit, when you saw that look in his eyes, you just wanted to hold him close to you. I knew that I did.

Of course he had to be confused, after all, I had canceled the execution for him and his friend's death. Why did I do it? I can barley answer that myself, but what I felt when Yugi looked at me.I can't stop thinking about it. I wanted to hold him in my arms. I knew that he would never forgive me if I had freed him from death and not his friend as well. So, I had to. For Yugi's sake.

I suddenly realized that Yugi was still standing in front of me. I looked down into his curious eyes and smiled.

"Sorry Yugi. I was just.thinking."

That boy.I wanted him, yes? Did I really? I didn't know if it was to fill my need of lust or if it was something else. I smirked. I knew exactly how to get what I wanted.of course it would take a while, I didn't want to scare Yugi, but it would surly work.

"Yugi, I am going to take a bath. You will accompany me."

Yugi looked at me shocked. I cursed myself. I forgot.

"You will wash my hair for me." I added on quickly.

I saw the fear and shock slowly fade from is eyes, but it was still there. I started to walk to the baths. Yugi was still standing in the same spot.

"Ahh.*ahem*.Yugi?" I asked.

Immediately he looked at me and ran to my side. "Yes Ph-Pharaoh."

I sighed. "Call me Yami."

"Yami."

~*~

When we finally arrived at the baths, I ordered Yugi to get some towels. Not knowing where they were, I showed him myself.

I quickly stripped myself of my clothes and walked back to where the baths were. They were steaming and hot. Not too hot, as I would not want to burn myself, but warm enough that it was pleasurable.

Yugi was waiting for me at the bath and when I walked over to him, I saw a bead of sweat run down his forehead.

I smirked. "Something wrong Yugi?"

He blushed. "No! No, Yami."

"Good." I whispered and stepped into the bath.

Hot steam rose all around me. It was calming. Being a Pharaoh wasn't all fun. I had a hard day today. Before Yugi and his friend came, I had to sentence seven people to death. All of them thieves. All of them now dead. I didn't like giving orders to kill, but it was my duty.

I felt small fingers run through my wet hair. Yugi was washing my hair already. It was bliss feeling his hands wandering over my head. What a good slave. I chuckled. He was doing it very quickly, just as though he wanted to rid his mind of something.

"You can slow down Yugi. There's no rush here," I said.

Very hesitantly he did slow down, but I knew that he wasn't comfortable. Maybe I could make him comfortable. After all, I didn't want my slave to be scared of me all the time.

After he poured some more hot water over my head and washed out the soap, I was sure that he didn't know what to do next. My voice became deeper and I whispered to Yugi seductively. "Get in with me Yugi."

I heard a squeak behind me. "Wha-what?"
