"Talking"
'Thinking'
'Yami talking to Seto mentally'
Seto talking to Yami mentally
'Bakura talking to Jou mentally'
/Jou talking to Bakura mentally/

After a few hours of explaining everything to Jou, he finally calmed down and started asking questions of his own. Patiently, Yami answered them all. They were seating in a room that resembled a living room on Earth. Seto had no clue of why they would keep a room like this one and he didn't really want to find out. There was a long couch on one side of the room and a lazy boy right in front of it and on the middle, there was a small coffee table. Seto and Jou occupied the couch, seating on opposite ends, while Yami settled comfortably on the lazy boy.

Seto fidgeted for the third time in ten minutes. Yami would give him these strange looks that made him nervous. He tried to keep calm and ignore them still, it kind of made him feel that Yami was planning something; he quickly pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind.

Everyone stopped what they were doing when the door was kicked open by a white haired guy. He was carrying two trays of food, one in each hand. He walked gradually to the trio and put the two trays on the coffee table in front of Seto and Jou. At the sight of food Seto realized how hungry he was. With one distrustful look to the white haired guy, he started eating some of the sandwiches that were on his plate. Jou on the other hand instantly brightened and started vacuuming his tray faster than the speed of light.

The white haired guy grimaced at the blond's eating habits and turned to whisper something to Yami. Yami nodded and stretched out his hand for something that Seto didn't see.

"Bakura, how about if you help me put the collars on to them," said Yami while standing up.

"Why the hell should I?" the white haired guy known as Bakura nearly shouted, startling both Seto and Jou.

"Because if you don't, I will tear the skin of you face and sew it back inside out." Yami said softly though his voice showed hints of a threat and couldn't be dismissed as a joke.

Seto and Jou looked back and forth between Yami and Bakura. Yami walked slowly towards Seto with the collar in one hand planning to put on to him. After all, he was pretty sure Seto wouldn't put it on himself. Seto immediately tensed when he felt Yami moving into his precious personal space. Though he relaxed soon after he heard the reassuring voice inside his head 'There is no need to worry Seto, these collars are harmless they are to keep track of you when we let you go. I will explain more in a few minutes. Just try to relax.'

It took all of Seto's willpower not to jump when he felt Yami's soft hands brush his neck. He made sure not to make eye contact with him and fixed his eyes to the floor. Once the collar was around his neck, Yami whispered a few words in his language and the collar was activated. It gave off a soft blue light then went back to normal. After Yami was done, Seto brought up a hand to his neck to feel the choker himself. It seem to be made out of metal, 'but that can't be, it feels as soft as silk' he objected in his mind. It also seemed to be especially for him, it fit him like a glove.

Seto also noticed that Bakura was done putting the collar around Jou's neck. Who wasn't really statistic about it and tried to pull it off.

"Don't even try to take it off you stupid human, these things won't come off unless we want them off," said Bakura crossing his arms.

"If you want, you guys can look at yourselves in that mirror over there," said Yami pointing at a corner of the room.

Seto's curiosity was almost killing him, so he stood up and strode over to the mirror. He let out a small gasp when he saw it. The collar was black with blue patterns around it which were probably in Yami's language. The collar truly contrasted well with his pale skin and it made his cerulean eyes stand out. Jou collar was similar but instead of black it was green with gold patterns. The symbols really left him baffled; he slightly wondered what they meant. 'Could it be my name? Or is it the word for 'slave'?'

He tried asking Yami, Will you tell us what the signs mean?

'Not right now, but I will tell you soon enough' was his reply.

"Hey… What are these things for? You are not really going to keep us as pets are you? Are you going to give us a leash too? I don't know if you noticed but I am not some kind dog," asked Jou after putting two and two together. (Or at least he thought he did)

"Really, you could have fooled me," said Seto wearing that I'm-better-than-you-in-everything face.

"WHAT! I dare you to say that again Kaiba!" said Jou while standing up and shaking his fist.

"That is enough," Yami stood up and walked to stand protectively next to Seto, "These collars are to keep track of you when we let you go in your planet. They will also allow us to feel your emotions. And will let us keep the bonds that we have" at this he turned to look at Seto, "Thanks to the collars we will be able to talk to each other mentally, same with Jou and Bakura"

"Damn, I can't believe that I'm going to be bonded with a human and to top it all he is not the brightest one out there" said Bakura dramatically, and then said while smirking "At least you're cute."

At this Jou visibly choked, Seto wondered if Bakura was blind, though he sneered at the 'not so bright comment' and Yami watched the expressions of everyone with amusement.

"Not so bright eh? Well for your information, in high school I was the smartest one in my class," said Jou proudly.

"hn, you got a c minus, and the only reason why you got the highest score was because you got held back twice," Seto mocked with a smirk, which made Yami chuckle.

Jou sulked though he didn't disagree. He tried to cover it up with a question, "Wait a minute, why do you want to keep track of us anyway?"

"Isn't it obvious? You and I are going to be tracked and studied in our environment like wild animals so they can learn about us. Not that anyone would want to learn about you."

"Grrr, shut up Kaiba or I will make you regret it" by now Jou's face was a shade of red and purple.

"If you really want to embarrass yourself just like in high school, then be my guest."

'Seto, you really shouldn't push him so far'

Don't worry, he won't try anything. And if he does I'll be ready

"That's it! You're going down" at that Jou threw the first punch which Seto dodged easily. He kept throwing punches only to hit nothing but air. Both guys moved around the room, one of them throwing punches and the other dodging effortlessly. Panting, Jou threw one last punch, luckily missing Seto by a few centimeters but resulted in Jou loosing his balance and falling on top of a large and heavy bag.

Jou winced when he heard a crunch, probably a bone. 'I don't feel anything broken, but I heard something' he thought while moving to sit on his knees.

Bakura twitched, 'Oh shit, I thought Yami got rid of that bag' he didn't even notice that he said it to Jou.

/Huh?/

Yami frowned, 'Damn I told Bakura to get rid of that'

Confused Seto said, Yami?

Both Yami and Bakura fought the urge to grab the bag and run when Jou started going through it. "What the… why you do have bones in here!"

Seto frowned and picked up one of the smallest skulls 'it kind of looks like…' "Hold on, are these human bones?"

Bakura, thinking that they might as well have fun with the situation, smiled evilly and slowly moved closer. "Yes, they are human bones. The skull Seto has on his hands was the most amusing, it belonged to a female. The woman was still twitching even after we chopped her head off."

Yami lifted a hand and smacked himself on the forehead, Bakura and his stupid stories always got them in deep trouble.

Seto's widened in surprise and quickly dropped the skull, making it crack in some parts of the jaw. It rolled a few times before it finally stopped, facing Jou. "Holy shit! I am outta here," he kicked the door open, (breaking it in the process) and ran out of the room as fast as possible.

But just when Jou left the room, another person entered. He looked just like Bakura, except his frame was smaller and had a gentle aura around him. Most of the Jekuns called him Ryou also known as Bakura's younger brother.

"My prince, the Counsel and the King has given me a very important message for you," Ryou said while handing a piece of paper to Yami. (A/N: Do they even use paper?)

As Yami read the paper some emotions were reflected in his eyes but disappeared quickly. He walked to the exit but before he left he turned to face Bakura.

"You are in charge for now, you must get Jou back in this room without hurting him and take care of Seto while I go and speak to the Counsel. Fix that door too." He said before stepping out of the room.

"Why do I have to go find Blondie, why can you call one of the servants to do it," Bakura frowned and crossed his arms.

"Don't make me go over there Bakura. Besides, 'Blondie' is more comfortable with you believe it or not," Yami yelled back without turning back.

"Fine, I will go and look for the pretty boy. You are coming too," he said to Seto.

Seto grunted in disbelief, but followed Bakura nonetheless. After all, Seto didn't want to be in a room full of human bones alone.

"You know, I think the Prince has the hots for you, he was looking at you with googly-eyes and smiling at you for no reason what so ever." And Bakura went on and on talking about what a sexy couple they were.

"Perhaps you will be the dominant one, but then again Yami wouldn't like to play the bottom. Yes this will be very interesting indeed."

Seto wasn't exactly paying attention to what Bakura was babbling about but he did blush when he heard Bakura say 'sexy couple.' After a few minutes he noticed that he lost sight of Bakura, and started walking towards the direction that the white haired guy went. Then, his heart skipped a beat when he heard Yami's usually soft voice full of anger and sadness inside a room down the hall.

He walked carefully to the door making less sound as possible. When he stood right in front of the door, he debated with himself between going back to look for Bakura or stay and figure out what was making Yami sound so worried and angry. He was really curious but he respected Yami's privacy, so he turned on his heels and was about to walk away when the volume of Yami's voice increased.

"I already told you I will NOT marry her!"

Well, there goes the third chapter and it is going no where. I'm sorry everything is happening so fast but it's 1:14 a.m. and I need to sleep.

Yami doesn't want to marry someone. Can anyone guess whom? It's actually kind of obvious. Review Pliz!
