Chapter 2: Jou
Yugi trembled. This was the Pharaoh.....the one his mother said that lead the kingdom into despair. He was ruthless and kept to himself most of the time.
"You should be punished for your intrusion," the Pharaoh said.
"Pharaoh!" a voice yelled.
Yami turned around to see Lelani running to them and stoppped in front of the Pharaoh. " It wasn't his fault. I found him injured by the river. He needed help, so I brought him in. Do not punish him, please Great Pharaoh," Lelani begged as she knelt in front of him in respect. " He barely lost his mother in a fire."
The Pharaoh stared at him intently. Should he let him stay or should he execute him for traspassing? Yet the way the boy stared at him with his large eyes that had fear intrigued him.
"Hmmm.......I guess I won't punish him, but on one condition," he said.
"What is that?" Lelani asked.
" That he has to be a slave," the Pharaoh said.
"But I have to leave to join my friends!" Yugi protested.
" I don't care! You will stay here or you will be executed," Yami snarled as he walked away from the two.
Yugi's eyes filled with tears as his words rang in his ears. * I have to be a slave........I won't be with them* he thought sadly.
"I'm sorry, Yugi...I didn't tell you about him. I wanted to get you out of here as soon as possible..." Lelani said.
Yugi went and hugged Lelani around the waist. "Its ok, I went out of the room," Yugi comforted.
Lelani smiled. This boy was a sweet person. Then she frowned. He didn't deserve to be here...his spirit will be broken.
She vowed that she will always watch over Yugi and protect him.
****************
Lelani tried to sooth Yugi, but Yugi's tears kept coming. In a few minutes the boy was sobbing in Lelani's arms.
"Oh, Yugi, please don't cry," she said as she hugged him.
" I don't want to be here," Yugi cried.
"I know, but you would have been executed if the Pharaoh didn't make you a slave," Lelani said.
"I wish he had killed me! I won't see my friends ever again!" Yugi said.
Lelani's heart broke at his words. She had to get him out of here, but it would have to wait. " C'mon, we have to go present you to the Pharaoh and see what you're going to do," Lelani said.
Yugi grasped her her hand and kept close to her as they walked to the throne room. There the Pharaoh sat as he waited for the newest slave. On his right a tall chestnut haired man with icy blue eyes stood. He wore a tall purple turban with gold colored highlights. A stiff purple cloth hung around his shoulder and partically covered his chest. A white cape fell from it. A gold cross with a hole on the top hung from his neck. Two gold braclets were on his upper arms and on his wrists. He had on a white skirt that reached his shins and gold studded sandles.
" What do we have here?" the man asked.
" This is my new slave, High Priest Seth," the Pharaoh said.
" Ah," Seth acknowledged.
"What shall we have him do?" Yami mushed.
Yugi was sitting on his knees and had his head down . The multi haired boy clenched his hands tightly. He hated his! He didn't want to become a slave to these people.
"I suggest you make him your personal servant," Seth suggested.
Yami looked thoughtful and a tiny smirk made his way on his lips. " Yes," he agreed. Then he turned to Yugi. " You are to be my personal servant, you will answer my every whim. Even if it is midnight or early morning."
"Yes, my Pharoah," Yugi said in a low voice.
"Take him away," the Pharaoh commanded.
Lelani stood up and guided Yugi into another room which was filled with clothes. She gave him some clothes and told him to change.
"Since you are now the Pharaoh's personal servant, you have the highest postion of all of us. So you need to wear these," Lelani said briskly.
Yugi went to the black veiled curtain quietly. When he emerge, Lelani couldn't help, but smile. Yugi wore a long white skirt that was made out of silk. It was held by gold belt and a white shirt that had golden tints in the edges, but exposed his chest. He had a gold braclet on his upper arm and one on his left wrist. A thicker band clung to his tiny throat. His feet were encased in sandles that had bands going up to his shins in straight lines. He looked adorable! Yet the only thing that bothered her were the tears that ran down his face.
" I don't want to be here! I wish I could be with my friends!" he cried sadly.
"I don't want to see you cry, Yugi," Lelani said, " One day you'll get out of here, I promise."
"Really?" he asked hopefully.
"Yes."
Yugi broke into a bright smile and hugged Lelani tightly. The black haired woman smiled and returned the hug. She'll keep her promise.
*******
" Yugi!" a voice boomed.
Yugi scrunched his face at the annoying voice and tried to tune it out.
"YUGI!" the voice shouted.
Yugi's eyes slowly opened and squinted. It was so dark...He rubbed his eyes as he sat up. The voice called his name once more, but it was more insistant.
"The Pharoah!" Yugi gasped. He jumped up and scurried to the Pharoah's room. Two guards were on each side of Yami's chamber.
"Who are you?" a big burly man asked.
" I am Yugi, the Pharaoh's servant," he answered.
The two guards looked at each other uncertainly. The gold door opened and a furious Pharaoh stepped out. He glared down at Yugi.
"What took you so long, servant?" he asked with an edge.
"I-I am sorry, great Pharaoh," Yugi stuttered.
" Well, come in already," Yami said impatienly.
Yugi entered the room. He let out a small gasp. A huge bed with purple silk sheets took up much space. A wooden drawer with jewlery and other expensive things was in one corner. A purple couch was lined up close to the large window where one could see Egypt's vast city. Silk curtains hung from the windows. The walls were a calm tan that soothed Yugi. It was very beautiful to the little one.
"Quit staring," the Pharoah snapped.
"Yes, Pharaoh," the boy muttered.
The lean boy tapped his foot and stared at the slave. " You took long to come here, I think I'll move you to another chamber," he mushed. Yugi didn't answer. His head was bowed in respect and fear. He didn't dare look into the Pharaoh's red eyes.
"You will move into the chamber that is next to mine tomorrow morning," Yami announced. Then he turned his back on Yugi. " You can go now."
"Yes, Pharaoh Yami," Yugi said and made his way back to the room that he shared with all the other servants. He climbed back to his small cot. He fell asleep quickly.
***********
"Good morning, Yugi!" Lelani's cheery voice called.
Yugi's eyes opened. " Good morning, Lelani," he said.
Lelani smiled at him brightly. " Time to eat!" she announced.
Yugi followed Lelani to the servant's kitchen. Egyptian servants were crowding in the rather small kitchen. Their eyes shore with happiness as they talked, but Yugi looked closer. In everybody's eyes a hint of sadness and longing hung in their depths.
"Everybody, I would like you to meet Yugi Mouto. He's the Pharaoh's personal slave," Lelani said.
A small brown haired woman looked at Yugi with large brown eyes that were filled with pity. " Woe to you, little one. The Pharaoh is a harsh boy who expects perfection. His previous servant made a huge mistake and Pharaoh Yami had him killed," she said.
Yugi gulped. Now more then ever did he wish that he was with his friends. A tall blond boy with honey colored eyes glanced at Yugi's expression.
" Maylin, don't scare him," he said. He turned to Yugi. " Don't be scared, the Pharaoh is a chicken."
Maylin turned to the blond. "If the Pharaoh heard you, he would have you killed," she reprimed.
The blond shrugged and turned his attention back to Yugi. " My name's Jounouchi Katsuya, but you can call me Jou," he said.
" I'm pleased to meet you, Jou," Yugi said shyly as he clung to Lelani.
" Yugi's got to eat right now, Jou," Lelani said and sat Yugi down. Jou sat down next to Yugi and started to talk to him.
A man with long hair came running in. " Is Yugi Mouto here?" he asked.
"Thats me," Yugi said.
"The Pharaoh wants to see you," he said. Yugi lowered his head and followed the guard. Jou stared at Yugi's retreating back. *Poor kid* he said.
*************
This is finally up! Man, I was reading in the library on Egyptian lifestyles. I got a few pointers on stuff and interesting facts. I decided to make Jou a slave who has never met Yugi. That way my planned twist works. I seriously hope it works! Disclamiers: Yugioh! belongs to some rich Japanese man, not a poor teenager like me!
