Chapter 3: Plans
The guard opened the door and motioned for Yugi to go in. The multi haired boy stepped in the room with hesitant steps. The Pharaoh was lounging in his couch with a bowl of green grapes. Red eyes glanced at him briefly.
" You are to move into the chamber today," he said. Yugi nodded.
" Answer me!" he commanded.
"Yes, Pharaoh," Yugi mumbled.
"Now get me that red wine," he ordered.
Yugi got the cup of wine and made his way to the Pharaoh. The boy tripped over his feet and stumbled forward. The red wine spilled and landed on the Pharaoh's robes.
" You insolate fool!" the Pharaoh yelled.
"I'm sorry," Yugi stuttered. A look of fear spread on his face. Then a loud noise echoed throughout the room. The Pharaoh had striked Yugi on the face. Small drips of blood seeped out from the red welt that his cheek began to show. Yugi's eyes filled with tears of pain and he fell to the hard ground with a hard thud. The Pharaoh gazed in anger at the boy in disdain.
"Get up!" he hissed. Yugi limped to his feet and stared at the Pharaoh with eyes full of fear.
"Get out of here! You disgust me. If this ever happens again, I will execute you," he threatened.
Yugi turned and ran out of the chamber with a slight limp in his step. He made it to the servant's room before collasping on the bed. The white pillow was being stained with his blood as Yugi buried his face in it. The door opened after a few minutes. The door opened.
"Lelani? I came to ask you if-" a voice said. Jou. His eyes went wide when he saw Yugi curled up in a ball.
"Yugi?" he asked. He walked over to Yugi. " What happened?" The boy didn't answer. Only his sniffs were heard. "Yugi, talk to me."
" He-he," Yugi sobbed.
"He what? Who?" Jou asked. Yugi sat and faced the blond. Jou gasped when he saw that a welt marred Yugi's pale skin.
"Who did this?"
"The Pharaoh," Yugi whispered.
" He did that! What for?" Jou said.
" I spilled some wine on him," the boy answered.
"What? Just for that he hit you?" the blond exclaimed.
Yugi nodded and sniffed. He touched the welt gingerly and winced at the pain he got. Jou walked over to the dresser and got something. He told Yugi to stay still and helped clean the welt. After a few minutes the blood had been cleaned off, but the welt was still here. It wasn't big, but still it was noticable. Yugi's eyes still shore with tears
" I'm afraid to go back there, the Pharaoh is unpridictable" Yugi said.
" Don't be. I'll be there to cover your back and I think Lelani will too," Jou said. For some reason he felt a bond with Yugi. He figured it was because both of them came here unwilling. Most of the servents applied for the job and others were like them. Lelani had come here mysteriously.
" Really?" Yugi said.
"Yes, but you have to be strong too, don't let him get to you," Jou advised.
"I will," Yugi promised and hugged Jou. The blond's eyes widened slightly. Nobody had ever hugged him before. This boy had just done that! A small smile made its way across his lips.
" Lelani told me your story, is that all right?" Jou asked.
" Yes, I know that you have a good heart," Yugi responded as he shook his head.
" I'll do my best to reunited you with your friends," Jou said, " Now, let me show you around."
Yugi bounced alongside Jou as he told him where everything was. He learned where the extra rooms were, where all of the other servants' chambers were. Also Jou showed him a large golden door that was forbidden to anyone except the Pharaoh. Then they went out into the gardens that were enclosed by a stone wall. A small pond was in the middle of the garden, several flowers adorned the lush grass and trees that provided excellent shade from the burning sun. Violet eyes stared at the stone wall thoughtfully.
" Jou, where does this wall lead to?" he asked.
" It leads to the nearest village, but if you're thinking about escaping from there, forget it. Two guards are standing in case any slave decides to do," the blond warned. Yugi's bright eyes lost some of their light.
" Oh, well. I'll find a way out someday," Yugi said and received a pat on the back which sent him sprawling. " JOU!"
"Opps?" Jou said nervously as he watched Yugi's face light up with mock anger. He broke into a run as Yugi began to chase him around.
" Get back here!" Yugi yelled as he ran after the laughing blond.
" No!" Jou called.
Yugi stopped running and leaned against a tree to catch his breath. Jou went back as he grew concerned. " Yugi?" he asked. Yugi grabbed Jou and both of them tumbled down. They laughed like children as the sun beat down at them
***********
Unknowingly to them crimson eyes stared at the two. The Pharaoh's face showed anger and disgust. These boys were to be working, not playing. These childish antics will cost them dearly. Especially his servant. He continued to watch the blond and tri colored haired boy. He never bothered to memorize the slaves' names. Worthless. The blond was hovering over his servant as worry filled his features. The boy was merely laughing at the blond. Yami's heart ached. His father and mother never let him play with friends and Seto was the only one he talked to. He shuddered. Seto was always proper and had ideas that didn't interest him. His eyes narrowed even more. He will make their lives misrable. Thats a promise
*********
" Jou, we should get back," Yugi said as he stood up. Jou merely looked up at him and smiled.
" Nah...Its so nice out here," Jou said as he streched lazily. Yugi started to pull on his hand and tried to make him get up. It wouldn't work. Jou was heavy and Yugi's petite self was sent tumbled to the soft grass.
"Ow!" Yugi cried as he rubbed his back.
" Yugi! Are you ok?" Jou exclaimed as he helped Yugi up.
"I'm fine, Jou," Yugi said as he laughed. Jou smiled and started to laugh too.
"Ahem," a deep voice said.
Jou and Yugi turned around. They froze. Red eyes stared at them as fire burned within them.
"What are you doing here? This is my private outdoor space!" the Pharoah hissed.
Yugi merely stared at him. He couldn't open his mouth. Jou stared at the Pharoah.
" I led Yugi in here, Pharaoh," Jou said," It was my fault."
" Hmph, I see that my slave need to be punished," Yami said as the Sennen Eye began to appear on his forehead. Jou froze as the eye began to glow.
"It wasn't his fault. It was mine. Jou lied," Yugi said as he raised his amethyst eyes to the Pharaoh. Yami's face hardened even further. That slave dared to contridict him? Yugi continued to glare at him as well as Jou. To their surprise the Pharaoh smiled. Not a kind smile, but a cold calculating one. It scared them, but they wouldn't let him see their fear.
"Very well. Get out of here," he commanded. Yugi and Jou gave a curt nod and left the garden. This angered the Pharaoh even more. They didn't bow! Once more the cold smile made its way across his lips. It seems that with his newest slave's arrival, Jou has become more valient. He scowled. That shrimp was also brave, yet he seemed easily offended. It will be very entertaining to break these two. To leave them souless and broken. That will prove to be a challange indeed.
" That boy is already hurt by his mother's death and the other one has been marked by tragedy as well. More then the shrimp....this will be hard because they are growing a bond already...but get them alone..." the Pharaoh muttered and let out a low laugh. It wasn't fair that people are happy while he's misrable.

Bah...that was intresting...I have all sorts of ideas for this fic, but then it seems a problem comes up. -_-' I spend time on my computer or outside, so I can think. Anyways, enjoyed the chapter? I hope so. Until next chapter. Disclamiers: YGO does not belong to me.
