Chapter 3

The following day Ruia found she was almost shadowed by Morii. She didn't mind though as Seirei was still off school and she felt a bit lonely. The more she talked to Morii, the more she liked her.

By the end of the day the two had grown very close. Though not as close a friend as Seirei, they were still close.

"Is everything okay?" Morii asked as they walked home together.

"Yeah I'm okay."

"You seem sad."

Ruia wondered whether or not to tell her new friend about the newspaper clippings. Could she trust her?

"If I show you something will you promise not to tell a soul?"

"Okay, I swear I won't tell anyone."

They got back to Ruia's house and went up to her room. Taking the envelope from its hiding place, she spread the contents on the bed.

Morii of course had already seen the clippings. Ushio had showed them to her before he put them in the envelope for her to take to the party. She sat however and looked shocked, as she knew Ruia would expect her to be.

"That's awful." She said.

"What hurts though is not what they did, it's the fact that they never mentioned anything to me about anything. Did they think I would never find out? I am beginning to think that maybe there is more than is even in these clippings."

"I don't know." Ruia said her face the picture of sympathy even though she was laughing inside. "But I might know someone who could help. Of course you could always ask your family about it."

"No way! They would probably deny it anyway." Ruia said. "I'll talk to this friend of yours instead."

"Well I am sure he would see you now if you like, put your mind at rest y'know?"

"Are you sure? It's getting late and I haven't eaten yet."

"Hey come on I'll buy you a burger on the way."

"Okay but I can't stay late. I'm usually in bed fairly early so I can work hard at school and maintain my good grades. Dad wants me to take over the company one day."

"Aww come on one late evening isn't going to make a difference and besides, they have betrayed you right? So why should you listen to them anyway?"

"You're right." Ruia said making her mind up. She had to know the truth no matter what and Morii seemed to know someone who could help.

Grabbing her coat, she didn't tell anyone she was going after all she was old enough to look after herself wasn't she?

True to her word, Morii bought Ruia a burger and led her to her uncle's apartment.

"Hey uncle I'm back." She said when they went in. "This is Ruia a new friend of mine. I think you can help her." She winked at Ushio that went unseen by Ruia.

Ushio lit a cigarette and offered one to Ruia.

"No thanks I don't smoke." She said.

"Just thought you looked like you could do with one."

Ruia thought about it. The only reason she had never tried it was because she thought it would disappoint her parents. Well they had disappointed her so why not? She took one from the proffered pack and Ushio held up a lighter. She inhaled the smoke and coughed a little but smiled.

"Thanks."

Morii went into the kitchen to make drinks while Ruia sat and smoked her cigarette. It tasted nice to her and although she knew all the health warnings, she wasn't in the mood to listen to them at the moment.

When drinks were done and Ruia was smoking her second cigarette after getting rid of the slightly lightheaded feeling she had gotten from the first one, Ushio looked at her.

"What do you want to know?"

"Well Morii says you can help me out with these." Ruia said and drew the envelope from her pocket opening it and spilling its contents on the coffee table.

Ushio scanned them quickly.

"I knew Joey years ago." He began. "He told the police that a friend had killed that child but it wasn't true. We were all drunk one night and the kid came up and started taunting us. Before I could stop him, he was attacking the kid with an iron bar." Ushio said watching Ruia's face that had gone from shock to total horror at what she thought her father had done.

"After that we all went into hiding except Joey who went to the police and told them our leader had done it."

"So he's a murderer." Ruia said. "But the clippings said he had helped police with catching the real murderer."

"He lied to them. That wasn't the only time he lied to. A few years later he lied to them again to get someone put behind bars wrongly."

"Who?"

"Your uncle Yami."

"Didn't he almost kill uncle Yugi?"

"Yes but let's just say he wasn't all there when he did it. He handed himself into the police full of remorse and gained parole three years later but there was a restraining order on him. Joey told the police that Yami had attacked him and so Yami was arrested again."

"But they're good friends now."

"Appearances are not all as they seem." Ushio said thoroughly enjoying himself. "Joey threatened to kill both of them unless they acted as if nothing was going on."

"But it doesn't seem like it to me."

"Trust no one." Ushio said.

"I trust you. You are the only one who has ever told me the truth. I don't think I can even talk to them about this it hurts too much."

Bakura chose this moment to come home. He saw Ushio and Morii and then he spotted Ruia. He smiled evilly but Ruia didn't see this. She was a pretty girl Bakura thought she would make a good addition in his friend's house.

"I don't want to go home and face them." Ruia said and started to sob.

"I know a place you can stay." Bakura said making his voice as kind as he could manage. He put his arm round her and gave her a hug all the while grinning at Ushio and Morii.

"You mean Mrs. Shani's place?" Ushio asked already knowing what was being planned.

"Yes she has rooms to help girls who don't want to go home out." Bakura said and Ruia looked at him.

"Help me." She whispered.

"I will help you." Bakura said and noticed that Ushio had lit a joint. He passed it to Bakura who inhaled.

"Do you want some?" he asked Ruia.

"What is it?"

"It'll make you feel good." Morii said as Ushio lit another one for him and Morii to share.

Ruia took the strange long cigarette and tried it. She inhaled and felt herself go a little lightheaded. Morii was right it did make her feel good so she took another drag.

Bakura took it back off her and smoked some himself before handing it back to her.

As per Ushio's instructions, Bakura let Ruia smoke most of the joint before he finished it off.

Ruia was feeling very relaxed and all her worries seemed to wash away like the tide going out.

She looked at Bakura who smiled. He was nice and she wanted to say thanks for helping her out. Putting her arms round him she kissed him on the lips and pulled away giggling.

The effects of the cannabis were making her body want something she couldn't quite put her finger on. All she knew was that she wanted it badly.

She barely registered a hand on her thigh moving slowly upwards as Bakura leaned down and kissed her again.

Before she really knew what was going on, she found her body going through the most wonderful thing she had ever experienced as Bakura took pleasure from her.

Ushio and Morii watched until Ushio could stand the show no more. Pulling Morii down to him she gave him the relief he needed.

After he was finished, he carried Ruia through to the bathroom and washed all evidence away from her. It would not do for Mrs. Shani to see that she had been used already. There was no doubt that she would be good for the brothel but it would take a few days to get her used to it. Cannabis was obviously a good one so that would do for now. By the time the little slut realised what was going on, there would be no escaping her fate.

Their only problem was that Seto and Joey would launch a search for their daughter undoubtedly assisted by Yami and Yugi. The brothel where he was taking Ruia to though was in the worst part of town and it was very unlikely she would ever be found.

Ushio sat waiting for Bakura to finish bathing Ruia. Morii had her head resting on his knee smoking another joint contentedly. She loved pleasing her uncle and right now he was very pleased. She knew she would get more than just permission to pleasure him later on.

It never occurred to Morii to think that incest was wrong it was merely what she was used to.

Bakura brought Ruia back through into the sitting room and set her in the chair. He had dressed her in tight leather pants and a crop top. It showed her off well and Bakura was pleased with his work.

"Now then Ruia shall I take you to see Mrs. Shani?"

"That would be great." Ruia said.

Winking at Ushio, Bakura helped her up and walked out of the room with her.

"Looks like you will succeed uncle."

"Yes, you will go over to the brothel tomorrow and talk to her. You will be her mentor to show her exactly how to please her clients. Most of the time she will be doped up and not knowing much of what she is doing and by the time she does it will be too late."

"You don't want me to go tonight?"

"Not tonight, you will be here for me and Bakura when he gets back. Tonight you are ours. Now get undressed for me."

"Yes uncle." Morii said getting up and teasing Ushio in the way she undressed.

Bakura took Ruia to the brothel, which was all lit up to welcome prospective clients. As they walked along they could hear shouting and the occasional glass smashing. Ruia clung to Bakura who whispered to her not to worry and that he would protect her.

He knocked on the door and it was opened by a large woman in a basque and light chiffon dressing gown.

"Hello Bakura, who is this?"

"This is Ruia, she needs a place to stay, don't worry she will earn her keep." Bakura said winking.

"No problem I have a room available. Follow me."

Bakura led Ruia down the hallway to a door. Mrs. Shani opened it and they went in.

"Everything you need is here." She said kindly. "Don't worry about a thing, I like my girls to be happy."

"Thank you." Ruia said grateful she had such good friends. She didn't want to go home to her murderous father, not now, not ever! She would stay here where it was safe and maybe she could find some more of that nice stuff that Bakura had let her have.

"Bakura?"

"Yes?"

"Have you got any more of those cigarettes?"

"Not on me sweetheart but here you can have these." He said handing her his pack of normal cigarettes.

"Thanks Bakura and tell Ushio I am really grateful to him for telling me the truth about my father.

"Who is she?" Mrs. Shani asked when the door had been closed on Ruia.

"Just a new face for you to help. She is still a virgin by the way, I wanted to take her but didn't. She's good yes?"

"Yes she is I know a lot of clients who will like her."

"Excellent, I'll get going then." Bakura said and left the brothel.

At Seto's home, they were going frantic with worry. They had called the police but they had merely said that they had to wait twenty-four hours before they could lodge a missing persons report.

Yami and Yugi had been out to search the city on foot and Joey had taken the limousine to look. Seto said he would wait at home in case she came back. He was beside himself with worry. Maybe he should have taken more notice of his daughter's strange behavior over the past few days.

"Where are you?" he asked the empty mansion.
