CHAP 15: First Dinner

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They found Malik leaning on the window sill looking out, Marik looked at Bakura as he ran a hand through his hair, he walked up standing right behind him "Malik I'm sorry, she just gets to me," Malik gave a tired sigh, why couldn't they get along?

"She has excepted me again as her brother Marik, but at the same time she doesn't understand," Malik's small smile faded although Marik couldn't see it.

"I know that she doesn't, but Malik I don't want you to stop seeing her because of me, I know how much she means to you" Marik looked at the ground as if it was interesting.

"I know but you two can't be in the same room without the insults flying," Malik looked at him over his shoulder then back out the window, Marik looked at Bakura who was leaning on the wall near by, his eyes narrowed at the painting on the wall then Marik sighed as he turned his attention back to Malik.

"I'll try not to fight with her if it means so much to you, I want you to be happy Malik" Marik frowned, he hated that women with a passion and it would take all his self control not to fight with her, Malik threw his arms around Marik and hugged him.

"You're the best," Marik smirked as he wrapped his arms around Malik, Bakura rolled his eyes, but all in all it would be amusing to see Marik and Ishizu in the same room trying not to fight with each other, as it seemed like second nature between those two, but that he would have to see.

Marik, Bakura and Malik walked into a room which was a black smith, a fire burning at one end and metal hanging here and there, also weapons that were yet to be finished hung around the room. A man with short brown hair greeted them, "Ahh I have the tag that you wanted" he walked over to a bench then walked back over to Bakura and held out his hand, he took it and looked it over, he had an 'I'm not that impressed with it' look on his face, the man bowed his head. Malik took it out of Bakura's hand.

"I can do something with this," Malik closed his eyes and his hands glowed for a few short minutes, he opened his eyes again with a satisfied look on his face and handed it back to Bakura who smirked.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bakura, Marik and Malik walked into their room to see Ryou asleep on the bed, Bakura smirked as he lay down next to Ryou who rolled over and snuggled up to him.

"We should get ready" Marik kissed Ryou on the head and Bakura on the lips, Malik and Marik walked around the room getting ready.

"Where are we going?" Ryou woke up and he rubbed his eyes.

"We have to go for dinner" Bakura sat up.

"Okay," Ryou said as he got off the bed and pulled on his clothes, arms wrapped around him as he turned around and was looking into dark lavender eyes, he blushed as Marik narrowed his eyes and smirked playfully.

"Let me help you get dressed," he said seductively as he pushed Ryou backwards to the bathroom door.

"Marik let him go," Bakura got off the bed, Marik pouted and Ryou leant up and kissed Marik on the cheek before he followed Bakura out of the room and back to their own room, Ryou walked into the joining bathroom, "Are you coming?" Ryou asked as he opened the door, Bakura had a sly grin on his lips as he walked up to Ryou.

"Not yet," Bakura pushed him into the bathroom, Ryou's blush was redder than ever. After a while the door in the bedroom was opened and closed. Bakura's ears picked up on the sound of the door opening and closing, he put a hand over Ryou's mouth to listen. He was looking at the bathroom door as he had Ryou up against the wall, Ryou's legs around his waist, Ryou bit his lip and whimpered, as Bakura wasn't moving anymore.

"Someone's in the room!" Bakura whispered quietly as he moved his hand off Ryou's mouth, the bathroom door opened and closed, Bakura instantly let go of Ryou who slumped to the bottom of the shower. Bakura stepped out and looked around the steam filled room. A figure came out and grabbed Bakura and pinned him to the wall, a chest pushed up against his back and Bakura growled.

"It's not nice to leave your lover like that," a tongue ran up his shoulder blade.

"Well if you let me go, I can continue what I was doing." A shiver ran up Bakura's back. He was let go and as he turned around he was met with warm lips that pushed up against his in a heated kiss and he melted into it.

"You should hurry up, we don't want to be late," Marik ran his hand up Bakura's chest.

"I don't really care," Bakura tugged at Marik's shirt, Marik stopped him.

"As much as I'd love to, I don't want to get dressed again and I do mean again, so go back to Ryou and get out of the bathroom, I'll be waiting for you," Marik gave Bakura one last kiss before leaving.

Malik lay on Bakura's bed, he was wearing tan pants, a red sleeveless top that stopped just above his navel, he had on all the gold jewelry, the chokers, the earrings and wrist bands, Marik had on black tight leather pants, a black top that was sleeveless as well. He had on the same jewelry, the earrings and chokers and the upper armbands with a few on his wrists.

Malik smirked as he rolled over onto his back, the sounds from the bathroom got louder, "Marik?" Malik looked at him.

"No Malik if we did then we would never get out of here," Marik looked down at him.

"But it sounds like so much fun," Malik whined, Marik patted him on the head as he sat down and waited. After a while Bakura and Ryou walked out of the bathroom, Ryou blushed as he got knowing smirks from Marik and Malik.

Ryou got dressed in, a white long sleeved top that hugged to his form and black tight pants, Bakura had on black leather pants, with a black top that had a white strip around the shoulders. "Are we ready?" Ryou nodded his head as Malik jumped up and grabbed his arm.

"Wait Ry, come here" Bakura walked over to the drawer and pulled something out. "Sorry love but you have to wear this," Bakura held it out for Ryou to see, it was a choker, light lavender of soft velvet and hanging from it was a ring with five cones hanging around it and a triangle in the middle with an eye in the center of that. (Millennium ring)

Bakura bit his thumb as blood ran down his hand, Ryou gasped and was shocked as he grabbed Bakura's hand, "it's alright, look," Bakura pulled his hand away and wiped the blood onto the ring, it was crimson then it glowed as the blood was absorbed, Bakura smirked as he moved Ryou's hair and placed it around his neck, the velvet was nice against his skin and the ring hung in between his collarbones nicely.

"You must wear this at all times while we are here, my blood will tell anyone that you belong to me," Bakura kissed Ryou's cheek lovingly, Ryou nodded his head. "I know it's stupid to ask but do you like it?"

"Yes," Ryou hugged him, Malik and Marik smiled.

"Malik picked the colour," Bakura hugged him back. Soon they were walking through the halls and Ryou walked behind them looking around trying to take in all he could.

They came across two large doors with a demon standing on either side of the doors, they were opened and music was heard, they walked into the room and in there everyone was either dancing or sitting at a table, the music was instrumental as the demon orchestra played and the doors closed behind them and Bakura grabbed Ryou's arm, "Stay with me at all times, some of these demons don't care if you have a master, they will take advantage of you," Bakura let him go and Ryou nodded his head. "Yes what? Ryou I don't want to have to remind you as I would be expected to deal with it harshly," Bakura said coldly and it hurt Ryou as Bakura had never spoken to him like that before but he knew it was the truth.

"Yes master," Ryou bowed his head, Bakura lifted his chin and gave him a smirk then let him go. They moved through the crowded room and found a table, they all sat down, Joey and Seto walked over and they sat down with them, Joey was pulling by his collar, it was dark blue with SK written on it and to Ryou it looked like a dog collar.

Ryou looked around more carefully and his eyes widened as he saw some of the demons feeding of others, when they had finished they just dropped the half drained bodies on the floor, some got a beating afterwards and then left there, they soon got up again as they were not drained of all their blood but were quite weary from it. Ryou closed his eyes and thought it best to keep his eyes on Bakura and the table.

"They are mates and slaves, their masters don't care for them and they are not afraid to show it, just stay with us and you'll be fine," Malik took his hand in his, Ryou felt a little relieved.

"What can I get you?" asked a slave holding a tray.

"Nothing," Bakura waved him to leave, he bowed his head and left moving onto the next table. All their heads turned as Bakura's name was called out, Bakura growled as he stood up, Marik followed standing next to him.

"Didn't think that you would come," a tall man stood with black hair and grey eyes and was very muscular, a second one with green hair and blonde bangs stood next to him.

"You have the nerve to talk to me?" Bakura said smugly, the other two growled. But then their eyes landed on Ryou and they smirked.

"New mate Bakura? Tell me have you broken this one yet?" the one with the black hair looked back at Bakura.

"I don't break my slaves Tabor, it's you that does that," Bakura stepped so their view was blocked from Ryou.

"I beg to differ, it was you that broke my mate before you killed him, while I was out hunting," Tabor grabbed Bakura by the collar, Ryou stood up with a worried look. Bakura pushed him away and dusted himself off.

"He got what he deserved," Marik spat.

"No one deserved what you did to him," the other one growled at Marik as his mate stepped back unnoticed.

"We had every right to do what we did to him," Bakura stepped forward threateningly, there was a yelp from behind them, they turned around to see Ryou being grabbed by the one with the green hair and blonde bangs.

"As I see it Bakura you own me a slave and this one will do just nicely, don't you think Adham," he laughed as Ryou tried to pull his arm free. Malik growled as he leapt for him, he grabbed Ryou's arm and scratched the guy across the chest leaving a large gash in his wake, he cried out and let go of Ryou's arm, Malik grabbed him and threw him onto a near by table. Malik jumped on him and crouched down over his chest and hissed at Adham baring his fangs at him.

"You see Malik has a different opinion and I suggest that you take Adham and leave," Marik said narrowing his eyes at Tabor.

"I'll get what I want Bakura I all ways do," Tabor walked over, Malik narrowing his eyes as he got down and stepped back, Tabor helped Adham off the table.

"You better watch yourself as well," Tabor said glaring at Malik.

"I think you should go home while you have your limbs attached to your body," Malik said as he straitened himself up, the two turned and walked away, half the hall was watching as Bakura and Marik gave them a look and they all turned and went back to what they were doing.

Ryou stood there shaking as he held his arm it had a good bruise on it, Malik took his arm and looked it over, Bakura and Marik were there. "We should have a talk," Bakura took Ryou's hand and walked into a corner with Marik and Malik standing around Ryou.

"Are you alright love?" Marik asked as he ran a hand through Ryou's hair, Ryou nodded his head and leant into the touch.

"Why were they so angry at you?" Ryou asked as Bakura wrapped his arms around him.

"Just after we found you and brought you home with us, Tabor had a mate who's name was Rebus and he attacked you, the first time I got there, the second time we had gone to Egypt, this time he took Malik just after we found him, what he did to Malik" Bakura stopped as Marik opened his arms and Malik walked into them holding on to him tightly.

"We torched him and left him for Tabor to find," Marik rubbed Malik's back.

"So now he thinks you owe him a slave and he has his eye on me" Ryou bit his lip. Bakura sighed as he lifted Ryou's chin up to look into his eyes.

"He won't get his hands on you, he's not game enough to touch you," Bakura smiled and Ryou hoped that he was right. Soon a bell was rung and all the music stopped as well as the dancing.

"Dinner is served," everyone started to walk to the end of the hall where they gathered into the dinning room.

"C'mon lets get this over with," Malik said as he moved away from Marik, he held out his hand for Ryou, who clung on to it as they walked.

In here servants stood around the room and in the centre was a large table, it was so big that everyone there was able to sit at it, food was placed out and along the table was large punch bowls with red liquid running from little fountains and into the bigger part of it, you could put your cup under it and it would fill your glass for you.

Malik gave Ryou a light tug of the hand and he started to walk, they found a place to sit, Ryou sat next to Bakura, Malik was next to him and next was Marik. Yami was at the head not that Ryou could see him that well and he was pretty sure that Yugi was at his side, Seto and Joey sat down next to Marik and they were all talking.

The servants came and started to serve the food, Ryou was totally missed as the food was put on Marik, Bakura's and Malik's plate, Ryou frowned as his stomach was in need of being filled and it grumbled. Ryou looked around as everyone was eating, a lot of the slaves were on the floor by there masters feet only a few of them were actually sitting at the table.

"Bakura?" Ryou whispered, Bakura's head whipped around and gave Ryou a cold look, who bowed his head, "Master,"

Bakura frowned he hated to see Ryou like this, he took Ryou's hand under the table, "Just wait a while," he turned back to Marik, Ryou sighed as Bakura played with his fingers, he looked at Malik who was talking to Seto, he had to wonder if he was going to get any food. But just then Bakura slid the plate over to Ryou, Ryou blinked down at it as it was half eaten. Ryou looked up at Bakura, did he expect him to eat his leftovers?

"You must be a new slave," a voice said, Ryou looked over to the guy sitting next to him. "Don't worry, you should be thankful that he's feeding you, not like those other ones," he motioned toward some of the others, he had blonde short spiky hair, with black running through it and honey colored eyes, Ryou looked over to see a vampire taking a piece of meat and then throw it on the floor and his slave dove after it, "Some don't get fed for days, some even die from starvation, the names Ree" He held out his hand for Ryou to shake.

"Ryou," He shook the others hand, Ree smiled.

"So who's your master?" Ryou looked over and Bakura was still talking to Marik. "I mean what is he?"

"Demon" Ryou fiddled with the tablecloth.

"Lucky you didn't get stuck with a succubus," He looked around and leant in more to Ryou.

"Why?" Ryou asked.

"Succubus are as savage as they come, they not only feed off you but they need the sex as well, they sometimes kill their slaves in the most violent of ways and I don't mean torture or beatings, they go through more than any other," he nodded his head, Ryou looked up to see one of them practically attacking one of the slaves on the table, the female slave was screaming out until he hit her knocking her out and she fell to the floor lifelessly.

Ryou was visibly shaken, this place was not what he had in mind, "But then you have the vampires," Ryou had to wonder was this guy trying to frighten him?

"I know all about vampires," Ryou whispered as if he spoke any louder he would get into trouble.

"So when were you taken? I was taken as a slave back when I was ten, I'm now fifteen," his master pushed him over the half eaten plate and he started to eat.

"It's been about six months now," Ryou looked at the plate of half eaten food in front of him and he wasn't going to eat it.

"Wow and you still reject food, I'm surprised that you haven't starved to death," Ree shoved his food into his mouth. "Did he explain all the does and don'ts?" Ryou shook his head no. "Man, okay listen up, you never look any one higher than your rank in the eyes that's basically everyone here except the slaves, you're on the same level as them but they'll try to pull one over you, never listen to anyone else but your master, never talk to anyone unless they talk to you first, always answer with a yes master or just master that way you save yourself a beating, that's all I can think of for now anyway," he started to eat again, oh how Ryou wanted to cry, so many rules and there were probably more that he didn't know of.

"Oh and never touch your master, they can touch you but you can't touch them unless you're asked to," he said with a mouth full of food. "But I don't know how you got this far with a demon if you don't know the rules, they must be lenient with you,"

"A lot but thanks, this is just all new to me that's all, it's different at home," Ryou took the bread and started to eat it.

"It always is, so is my master they seem so relaxed at home but here they're all on edge, don't get me wrong I love the floor, but at home it seems softer than here," his master pushed over a cup with water.

"You sleep on the floor?" Ryou asked shocked.

"No it's more like the basement with a blanket and pillow, here I don't even get a blanket," he whispered. "So where do you sleep?" Ryou wasn't sure if he should answer that.

"I'm not sure we got here this afternoon," Ryou looked over to see Bakura push a cup of water to him, Ryou looked up to smile at him as he picked it up, but Bakura didn't even look at him and his smile faded.

"Don't worry, you'll get a place to sleep and don't worry about your masters attitude it's the councils rules, no salve can eat or drink before their master so don't be offended by them " he looked at Ryou then back at his plate as it was now empty and he pushed it away.

Ryou picked at his food as if it would crawl away, he was feeling sick and couldn't eat. After a while everyone started to move out into the hall as they were done eating. Bakura turned around and saw that Ryou hadn't eaten the food, he felt bad that Ryou had to eat like this and to be treated this way.

"You're not eating!" Ryou shook his head.

"I'm not hungry… master," Ryou pushed the plate away from himself, Bakura noticed a few looking at them, Bakura growled 'nosey sons of bitches' he thought.

"Eat it now!" Bakura said growling, Ryou frowned.

"I'm not hungry," Ryou growled back the best he could.

"Eat it Ryou," the on lookers frowned and started to whisper, Bakura heard what they were saying and he had to think quickly, here the council could punish how they liked and if the whispers kept going then it would reach one of them, they had two much attention as it was so he got up and grabbed Ryou by the collar of his shirt, Ryou yelped in surprise. Malik and Marik had caught what was going on.

"Bakura hand me your slave," Malik asked, Bakura looked over and released Ryou, Malik held out his arms and Ryou stumbled into them. Malik pulled Ryou onto his lap, Ryou leant his head on Malik's shoulder.

"You must not talk back," Malik whispered as he ran his hand through Ryou's hair, he leant over and grabbed some food and placed it on a plate then put it in front of him and he started to feed Ryou. Soon the room was almost empty and Ryou had eaten all he could. They walked out and the music played again, everyone was either dancing or talking and it was getting late, Ryou was almost falling asleep on his feet.

Ryou leant on Malik when all of a sudden a scent filled his nose sending his senses into a frenzy it was like his body was going in all directions at once. He stood up straight and looked around trying to place where this strange allure was coming from, it was like it was calling to just him and was intoxicating. He started to walk to what looked like the stage unaware of who or what was around him, he walked past some demons dancing on the dance floor when suddenly he was grabbed.

"What do we have here? A slave without a master!" the voice purred.

"I have one," Ryou answered gently without fighting to get out of her hold on him.

"I've been watching you all night, why don't you come with me," she pulled him closer and her scent was now controlling his every feeling and had put Ryou in some sort of a trance. She started to lead him away from everyone in the hall.

Bakura looked around to see that Ryou wasn't with them, he growled as he looked around, "Ryou's gone" Malik and Marik started to walk around looking for him. The girl had Ryou up against a wall outside the hall, she was about to bite down on his neck when she was grabbed and thrown across the passageway and she landed on her feet then hissed. "What are you doing with my slave?"

"It's none of your business," she spat. Bakura pulled Ryou into his arms, he looked Ryou over and saw that he was under her spell, Bakura snorted in disgust at the girl.

"Go get another slave and not one that's attached" he hissed at her, she had used her powers on Ryou, no human could resist the scent of a succubus whether it was male or female it was a way to lure in their victims. Malik and Marik came out and the girl hissed then left the hall.

"Is he alright?" they both asked in unison.

"He's fine," Bakura sighed as he hugged Ryou tighter, Marik lifted his chin and Ryou's eyes were unfocused and cloudy. "I'm taking him to bed," Bakura said as he started to walk, Malik and Marik followed him.
