Yay! I got a review! So happy! Thank you Leona Saclat for reviewing! You're my very first reviewer.

Now here's a recap from Dragon Tamer:

"What's your name? Your real name?"

"Kyr."

Chapter 2: Healer

Seto didn't waste any time looking around for a healer. He knew there was only one in town, and by a small twist of fate, it was his enemy.

Unconscious of all the shouts that followed his forced path, Seto arrived at his destination. He didn't bother to knock.

The tri-hair colored youth swirled around with a staff. At its point he found Seto Kaiba's throat. But for once, Kaiba made no move to change the situation.

"Help him." Seto thrust a little body towards Yami Yugi.

Flustered, Yami quickly took the boy and laid him on a bed. "You don't come bursting in here without warning, ya know!" Yami growled. He shook his head as Seto rolled his eyes. He turned his attention to his patient, and found perhaps too much of what he was looking for.

"W-what happened? What did you do to him?" Yami accused. Seto glared at him. "Did you do this to him?"

Seto shook his head, and pointed to the child. Yami hissed with annoyance and grabbed his staff. He started to peel off what was left of the child's clothing, who was shaking all the while.

Kyr didn't know who this stranger was. He was taking his clothes off! But, he knew better than to kick and squirm. The strange man then held a hand over him and started murmuring to himself.

After staring at the man's hair for some time, Kyr turned his view to the room. The hut was small but humble. It had a tiny stove complete with a pot and ladle. A table and two chairs were placed in a corner, a run laid out in the middle of the room. And in the middle stood his new master. Brunette, with steel blue eyes. Muscular build. Kyr shuddered, thinking of his earlier beatings. But then, his master's words rang out threw his head: "I swear, never will I hurt you with a whip, or any other device like that."

Kyr felt some of his fear melt away. At least for now. All of a sudden, a light engulfed him.

Seto watched impatiently as Yami finished his spell and burned Kyr's clothes. Kyr himself was sleeping in the bed, uneasily it seemed.

"So are you going to tell me what happened?"

Seto smirked. "Some idiot wants me to train him to be a dragon tamer."

"Probably to use the kid for money," Yami said bluntly.

Seto nodded. "It doesn't matter. I'm buying the kid from the owner."

"He's a slave?" Yami shook his head. "That's not right."

"At least we agree on something," Seto muttered.

"And if the guy refuses to sell? Then what?" Yami knew he was pushing it, but he had to know.

Silence. "I'll tell him that I'll report the kid's beatings to the authorities." Seto turned away from Yami, hiding his red face.

Yami stared into the fire. This Seto wasn't the one he knew. Was it possible that there was a good Seto?

There was a sound of blankets being mused.

"No," a weak cry came. The boy was having a nightmare. "No, don't go!" There was a cry of pain. "I hate the dark, stop… please…I promise I'll be good." There was a scream. Seto rushed to the boy's bedside.

Yami turned around just in time to see the child awaken and throw his arms around Seto's neck, crying. The healer watched the dragon tamer slowly wrap his own arms around the boy.

Seto tried to comfort the boy, whispering reassuring things into his ear and rubbing his back gently all the while.

The healer walked towards them, and placed a hand on the boy's forehead.

The boy tried to pull away.

Seto placed a hand on the boy's cheek. "It's okay, Kyr." The child went still. "Yami?" Yami resumed his act.

Kyr tightened his grip on his master's neck as the healer made the nightmares vanish. He shook in fear, sobbing silently into his master's tunic. The healer stroked his head. Kyr felt security and safety. He would be okay.

When Kyr stopped crying, he looked down at his hands. Seto sat down on the bed, still holding him. Yami pulled a chair beside them.

"I'm sorry, master!" Kyr said, burying his face into Seto's shirt once more. "I…I…Master G-Guno was…" Kyr's shoulders shook as he cried some more.

Seto took Kyr's chin and made him look at into his eyes. "Kyr, don't call me master anymore. You're not a slave."

Kyr's eyes grew wide. "But…"

"No," Yami interjected. "You were never a slave."

"You're going to be free, Kyr," Seto said, placing the child onto his lap. "You're going to be free."

Kyr rested his head on Seto's chest. "But I don't want to leave you." He looked up at Seto again. "Unless…am I a burden?"

"Are you kidding?" Seto bent down and kissed Kyr on the forehead. "You can stay with me if you want."

Kyr hestitated.

"What?"

"…" Kyr stared at Yami.

Seto was surprised, but not nearly as Yami.

"You want me to stay, too?" Yami gaped.

Kyr blushed, and nodded. He snuggled into Seto's chest and prepared to sleep, obviously tired.

"B-b-but…t-there's s-so much to c-consider. And all"

Seto shook his head as Yami continued to babble. "We'll leave as soon as he's all rested," he murmured.

Yami stood up and glared at Seto, or at least tried to. In the end, he sat down, murmuring something about insanity.

Another chapter finished! Well, review please! Thank you!
