Reincarnation Of Souls
Chapter 3: Enter Yugi
Yami walked slowly so he wouldnt disturb the small boy in his arms. People stopped to stare as they saw their sopping wet Pharoah walking with a small boy cuddled against his chest sleeping. Yami looked at the people on the sides of the dusty street and gave a hesitant smile. 'I wonder who's child this is...why are these people staring so? Havent they seen a wet person before?'
Yami looked down to the boy Yugi. Yugi was horizontal to his chest. His head was cuddled in the crook of Yami's arm. His face was against Yami's bare chest. Yugi's mouth was open as he breathed slowly. Yugis arms were slung over Yami's shoulders, gripping them. Yami smiled a very warm smile and re arranged his arms so that Yugi's legs were around Yami's waist, his arms were slung over each shoulder, clasping each other, and he was leaning against Yami's neck.[A/N: Like a backwards piggy back ride. Wouldnt you want too see that scene? aww....]
Yami wrapped his arms around the boys back so the boy was covered and warm, and walked steadily toward the palace, worried. 'My supervisors will be quite displeased' Yami approached the palace and stood at the foot of the stairs, and looked up. Taking a deep breath, Yami began to climb the stairs to face the nagging supervisors.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Yami! What did you think you were doing?" Exclaimed a supervisor. Yami looked down to the sleeping child he held. "Could you lower your voice? You might wake him" Yami whispered. His supervisor stood before the sopping wet young man , and the younger boy, hands on hips. "Pharoah, forget the boy, you cannot dive into the water for every creature!" "It wasn't just "Every creature"! It was a boy. He needs care. If you will excuse me?" Yami strode off without another word, toward his bed chambers.
Yami walked in, opening the door with his foot since his arms were full with Yugi. He tip-toed to his bed and carefully laid Yugi down. Yugi rolled over and sighed, still lost in Yami's clothes. Yami walked to his bathroom and snagged three towels. He walked to his bed and carefully removed the makeshift blankets around Yugi and wrapped him around a towel. The other towel Yami wrapped around Yugi's hair. The third he used to dry himself. Yugi was now a white cocoon in the center of Yami's bed. Yami smiled and put on some sandals and dragged a comb through his hair as he watched Yugi sleep.
Yami's stomach rumbled. 'I would eat, but I can't leave Yugi...hmm....' Yami went to his door and poked his head out. "Excuse me!" He whispered loudly. An instant later a brunette girl appeared at his elbow and bowed low. "Hello my Pharoah. Do you desire something?" "Good evening Anzu. I would like my evening meal and also an evening meal for my friend in here" Yami gestured inside his room.
Anzu stuck her head in and saw Yugi on the bed. "Yes Yami, as you say. Anything special for the meal?" Yami thought and scratched his head. "What do young boys like to eat?" Anzu thought a while. "Well, lets see...sweets. Usually fruit more then vegetables, although I would insist on the vegetables. Lots of bread. Fruit juice. Meat. For dessert, anything sweet will do" Yami smiled. "Thank you Anzu. A big platter of all of those things and my usual meal delivered here, if you are not to busy of course." Anzu smiled. "I am on it my Pharoah. Anything else?" "A tailor for the boys clothes after the meal? And a toy maker?" "Of course Yami" Anzu bowed and ran off.
Yami quietly closed the door, and sat at the chair beside his bed, trying to ignore hunger pains. 'I hope Yugi's food doesn't take long...poor boy looks starved' A moment later a soft knock on the door brought Yami to his feet to answer it. Anzu bowed at the doorway and offered the many plates of food. Yami took them , thanked Anzu and lay them at his bedside table, taking little bites of his own food. 'Hm...Yugi really should eat now, I hope he doesn't mind If I wake him'
Yami leaned forward and shook the white cocoon slightly. "Hello Yugi...wake up please...I have food for you if you want to eat now...Yugi?" The bundle stirred and a head with big spiky hair emerged. Yugi pulled himself out and looked around, quite startled. He cought Yami looking at him and lurched over the bed in surprise.
"Yugi!" Yami leaned over and caught Yugi. "Are you allright Yugi, there is nothing to be frightened off...Yugi?..." Yugi stood up straight with large frightened eyes. "The man at the river...." "Thats right Yugi. My name is Yami. Please join me with the evening meal. I hope you had a good rest?"
Yugi backed up toward the bed and nearly toppled over. "But I can't... Master will whip me" Yami frowned. "No one will whip you Yugi, I will make sure of it. " Yugi still looked skeptical. "But Master said that If I eat I will be thrown in the pit" For a second Yami saw a haunted look in Yugi's eyes. "Do you know Masters name Yugi?" Yugi shook his head. "No Yami. We all call Master, Master. He claims he is Ra. I will fail the scales if I disobey! Please dont make me eat!"
Yugi started to cry. He fell to the floor, and covered his head with his hands, sobbing. "Please don't whip me Yami, please! ...please?" Yami, startled jumped out of his chair to the floor and held Yugi's shoulders. "Yugi, I wont whip you! Why would I? Please Yugi, there is nothing to be frightened of, you will not get whipped, I promise. I wont bring you back to Master"
"Master will find me"
"I won't allow him too!"
"You will throw me in the Nile just like he did....he....h-" Yugi started to cry uncontrollably and rolled on his side shaking. "Please Yami...please Yami....please... don't do it to me...I will be good" Yugi whispered.
Yami watched Yugi with large frightened red eyes. "Yugi..." Yami whispered. "I won't do anything to you! I promise"
"Master promised too...Yami please...dont whip me...it hurts...please"
"Yugi...I wont ever touch you! I wont whip you, I wont throw you in the Nile! I will protect you from your Master. PLEASE believe me Yugi!"
Yugi didn't respond
"Yugi?" Yami whispered. Yami's eyes began to fill. "Please Yugi?" Tears fell from his eyes. He held out a hand. "Please trust me"
Yugi slowly lifted his head. "Master....?"
"Please Yugi, I am not your master. Its Yami..." Tears continued to spill from Yami's eyes. He continued to hold his shaking hand.
Yugi slowly reached out a small hand and layed it on top of Yami's. "Master Yami?"
Yami smiled, and leaned forward. "Thank you Yugi." Yami let go of Yugi's hand and embraced Yugi. "Its okay Yugi! Trust me...I wont allow anything to happen to you" Yami closed his eyes, as tears fell from them.
Yugi put thin arms around Yami. "Master Yami... you will not whip me?" Yugi felt strong protective arms around his body, and hot tears drip on his shoulder. Master Yami was crying. Why? 'Who is Master Yami?'
"No Yugi...I wont" Yami released Yugi and looked at the boy. Tears streamed from Yugis eyes, as Yugi looked trustingly at Yami.
Yami stood and held a hand to Yugi. Yugi clasped it and Yami helped him to his feet. "Would you like your meal Yugi?" Yugi nodded slowly and looked into Yami's eyes with so much trust that Yami fought the urge to hug Yugi and cry again. Yami took the platters of food and laid them at the table at the end of his room.
Yugi, limping, followed him, looking at the splatters of blood on the wall. "Master Yami...why are those there?" He pointed to the blood. Yami frowned and looked at him sadly. "Blood from 150 years ago. Old slaves murdered a Pharoah 150 years ago. That was there blood, no matter how many times we scrub, we can't get it off, like... Ra was on there side...and that was there mark. It scares me everytime I look upon it"
Yugi turned away and looked at the food. "Master whipped me in chains" Yami held out his hand. "Don't worry Yugi. That wont happen to you again. Please eat"
