Chapter Three—Meeting Jonouchi AgainA week later…
The pharaoh was leading Yugi down a corridor, when he saw Seto Kaiba, his advisor walking with his slave, Jonouchi. It took a moment for Yugi to recognize his friend, but not long.
"Jonouchi!" Yugi said, surprised.
"Yugi?" Jonouchi asked.
"Apparently these two already know each other," King Atemu said to Kaiba.
"Yes," Yugi smiled, "We were good friends…then I was made a slave and taken away."
"I see," Seto Kaiba grinned.
"Well, we have important matters to discuss," the pharaoh told them, walking away.
"How have you been, Yuge?" Jonouchi asked, " I haven't seen you for so long!"
"I know," Yugi said sadly, "What about your sister? Is she here too?"
Jonouchi looked down at the ground, "No…we were separated."
"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.
"Our parents were fighting. They were always fighting with each other. One day I couldn't take it anymore, so I went outside. I was only going to be gone for a little while, until the fighting stopped. I was sitting outside the house, and then my mom started crying. I left. I ran to river, my favorite place to be alone. When I got back my mom had left with my sister."
Yugi looked concerned, "How did you end up here?"
"I got really angry at my dad for not stopping her, not stopping my mom from leaving. I told him I would run away, and I did. Someone from the palace thought I was an orphan and made me a slave here, for Seto Kaiba."
"Well, that's okay now, isn't it? I mean, he seems nice to you," Yugi said optimistically.
"Yeah, I suppose so. I really miss my sister though," Jonouchi said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
King Atemu and Seto Kaiba came out of the room they were talking in.
The pharaoh spoke quietly, but just loud enough that Jonouchi and Yugi could make out what they were saying, "I want that thief, Bakura, dead in the morning!"
Kaiba grinned slightly, "I'll make sure of it."
