Zypher: Well, I think it's been a while since I continued with this story. I thank all of those that have reviewed the last chapter so here's the next one for you. Hope you enjoy.

The Demon of Oz

Chapter 6

Yugi watched them as they walked over. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm Yami and he's Aqua. We're both the Kings of the Black Emerald City." Yami said. "Really? For some reason it feels like I seen you both before." Yugi murmured as he climbed out of the bed and walked over to them.

"Oh no, chances of seeing us walking around this corrupted land as people want to call it now is rare. You must have seen something else." Aqua said as he took Yugi's hand lightly, leading him to the door. "Why don't we take you on a small tour of the castle so you can learn your way around." Aqua said and he nodded.

'That is, of course, we have plans for you to never leave the room.' Yami thought as he followed behind them.

After their latest beating, Ryou was knocked out but Diamond was still awake. She felt Yugi's light energy floating around and she sighed in defeat. 'I hope it wouldn't come to this, Yugi. Now you're trapped in the grip of the Shadow Kings and they will never let you go. You must defeat them to free us and the Bright Haven from their rule.' Diamond thought before sighing. 'Now if there was only a way how you could find this out.'

As they walked, Yami explained a few things about the city and the people. "But aren't the people sad that they have demons ruling over them?" Yugi asked. "Oh of course not. The only thing they care about is the savior saving them from us but we only do as the demons want. They wanted a new place to call home and we gave it to them. That's all we did." Yami said.

He only nodded, thinking about what he said. 'If it's true, they wanted me to save them from the kings. Crystal told me to do that but they are treating me well instead of some sort of slave. I don't know what to think of anymore.' Yugi thought, his attention focused more on his thoughts that he didn't hear Yami and Aqua speaking quietly to one another.

"We finally have him here, so what are we going to do with him?" Aqua asked. "There is many things we could do, especially just to keep him here since he may do something as long as his friends are around and know about everything that happened except for him. We could either hypnotize him, turn that necklace of his into a collar so he would have to obey our every command or, my favorite, feed him the forbidden Shoyuubutsu fruit." Yami said.

"I like the sound of that last one. I say we give it to him now just in case his friends decide to break out from their masters' room and try to find him. By now they would've felt his energy and is doing all they can to get out." Aqua said.

Yami nodded and turned back to Yugi. "Yugi, would you like to see the gardens?" Yami asked, breaking him from his thoughts. "Oh yes, that would be nice." Yugi said. Yami nodded and turned back around, giving a deadly smirk as he and Aqua led him towards the gardens. 'Yeah, nice for us.' Yami thought.

After Marik and Toben left, Malik started to try and break from his bonds. "Topaz, wake up. We need to get out of here and help Yugi before those kings give him something to bring him to their control forever and he'll never get out of here." Malik said.

He groaned and opened his eyes slowly before turning to him. "What? Yugi already got here?" he asked and Malik nodded. "Yeah, we need to get out of here and hopefully help the others." Malik said as he struggled in his bonds once more.

"Malik, aren't you a scarecrow? You can remove your hands and slip out." Topaz said. "Oh yeah, that's right. Sorry Marik, I may be your slave but you gave me one flaw, and that's keeping me half scarecrow." he said to himself as he moved one of his hands over and removed the other.

He sat up and placed his hand back in place before doing the same with the other and got out of the bed. He ran over to Topaz's side and freed him. "Come on, let's hurry and see if we can find the others before Marik and Toben find out we're gone." Malik said and they both ran out of the room.

When they reached the gardens, Yugi looked around quietly while Yami and Aqua started walking in another direction. Yugi didn't noticed them leaving until he saw them stop by some sort of tree that grew red fruit. Aqua picked one off and took a bite from it, blood red juices flowing out from the fruit. Yugi walked over, curious.

"What's that?" he asked. "Oh, just a little treat we grow here in the gardens. It's a rare delicacy that is found among the demon kind. People say it's a forbidden fruit but that's only to them." Aqua said as he took another bite of the fruit.

A slight growl of his stomach showed his hunger and Yugi moved to stand beside him. "Could I try one please? It has been a while since I last ate." Yugi said. "Are you sure, Yugi? You are not at all fazed by the fact people call this the forbidden fruit?" Yami asked, standing behind him. "No, I don't see what's so bad about it." Yugi said, trying to reach for one. They laughed softly at his efforts, although there was a hidden meaning behind their laugh.

'Soon, one bite and you will be ours forever.' Yami thought as he reached up and grabbed one for Yugi.

After getting everyone out from their so called 'masters' room, they ran through the castle, trying to find any sign of Yugi and they soon reached the gardens where they felt his energy radiate strong. "He's in here somewhere. We must find him and quickly. Who knows what those kings are up to." Diamond said and they nodded as they ran inside, following his trace of energy.

"Are you sure you really want this fruit, Yugi? We can understand you're hungry but we want to make sure there nothing else that you may want from the kitchens." Yami said, holding the cursed fruit in his hands. "I'm sure. I don't want to wait until we get there when I can have something from here." Yugi said, holding out his hands for the fruit.

"Alright, if you're sure." Yami said, grinning maniacally on the inside as he handed him the fruit that will make Yugi theirs for eternity. "Go ahead and eat then." he said, taking another from the tree and bit into it.

Yugi watched him before bringing the fruit up to his mouth, about to bite into it before he heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw someone coming their way. Yami and Aqua growled as they turned as well. "We'll deal with them. Go ahead and eat." Aqua said and he nodded.

"No Yugi! Don't eat that fruit! It's cursed!" Diamond shouted as they made it over to them but a barrier came up, separating them from Yugi and the kings. "What do you mean?" Yugi asked, shocked at seeing the condition his friends were in.

"That fruit you about to eat is the Shoyuubutsu fruit or known as the Possession fruit! Demons are immune to it's deadly effects but regular people are not! They're going to make you eat it so they can keep you here for life! Nothing will change and they'll get what they want and hurt the people of Bright Haven even more!" She explained.

Yugi looked back to the fruit and then towards Yami and Aqua who had a murderous look in their eyes. "Enough! You dare try to poison his mind with lies!" Yami shouted before turning back to Yugi. "Don't listen to them little one, just go ahead and eat." he whispered.

Yugi looked between his friends and the kings, now confused and doesn't know who to believe. "Great, those kings are trying to manipulate him and with that crystal around his neck, they can force him to believe them." Jou hissed. "Then there's only one way how to stop them from getting Yugi." Ryou said before looking back to him.

"Yugi! Listen to me! You may not remember but Darkness was Yami! He tried to deceive you but acting like a stranger to you and say the kings were nice and would send you back home! They're not and use tricks to get what they want! They won't treat you well! They may treat you no more than a pleasure slave!" Ryou said.

Aqua growled and shot a beam towards him, shocking him and he screamed in pain. Yugi was worried and dropped the fruit, running to the barrier. "Ryou! Are you alright?" he asked, wishing he could reach him. Topaz helped him up and he nodded slowly.

"I'm fine, just believe in us. Just look at us. Thanks to the kings' lackeys that had captured us before and turned us into the way we are now, we're weak and helpless to do anything as of now. You are the only one that can help us." Ryou whispered.

"No! They're getting to him. Looks like we have to kick this up a notch." Yami said, using they power sealed inside the crystal he gave to Yugi to bring him under his control. Yugi's eyes dulled and he backed away from the barrier, walking back over to them and picked up the fruit.

"Go ahead, little one. One bite and you will be ours for eternity." Yami whispered and he did so, never hearing the screams and shouts of his friends. "Yugi! No!" Diamond said, banging against the barrier but it didn't let up.

Yami smirked as he watched the younger boy swallow his bite and looked up to them. "Sorry but with him under our control, it would take a lot to break him free once more. But he has the power to free himself and he can't use it because he's ours now." Yami said as he walked over to Yugi and wrapped his arms around him who did the same.

"Continue to eat little angel of ours and we'll take you back to our room. Of course, your friends will have to be sent to the dungeons for trying to poison your mind with lies." Yami said as shadows wrapped around them and brought them down into the ground where the dungeons were located. Yugi only watched silently, eating the cursed fruit without thought.

"I'll have the captains take care of them. But for now, I want to take care of you." Yami said, looking down to him as Aqua let the barrier down and they left to head back inside.

As they walked through the halls, they encountered Seto who was looking for Jou and Aqua told him of where he was, explaining what he and the others were trying to do and he nodded, making sure to remember to tell the others of where their little pets were. Once they reached the room, Yami opened the door and Yugi walked inside silently, sitting down on the bed.

Yami smirked and walked over as well. Before he could enjoy himself with Yugi, he looked over to Aqua. "Before I forget, do me and favor and get rid of that staff. I have a feeling if it stays around Yugi as long as he's like this, it's magic will break him free from the spell and if it happens when I'm not aware, he may kill me." Yami said and Aqua nodded.

"Alright, I'll leave you for now but don't wear him out too much." Aqua said with a light smirk as he gripped the Light staff with a hiss and left the room, wanting to get rid of the staff as quickly as possible before he could burn his hands.

When he was gone, Yami toed off his boots before sitting down beside Yugi and lifted his head with a gentle hand. "After so long, we finally have you. Not in the way that I wanted but I knew your friends would try and ruin it for us before you could come to us willingly. Maybe if they're not going to become a burden again, I'll release you from this spell and we can try again so you can love us instead of being like this but for now, this will have to do." Yami said and gave Yugi a light kiss before making him lie down on the bed.

In another part of the Shadow Kingdom, a red dragon watched how the people of the once Bright Haven lands we being treated by the demons that moved here. "This has gone on long enough. It's time a put those kings in their place and hopefully help the saviors that has now been captured by them." she said before unfurling he wings and flew off.

Zypher: And there you have it, a cliffhanger. I would've wrote a lemon scene but I really don't feel like getting caught before on past the time I should be. Hate that XP but I'll make it up to you all with a nice long lemon scene in the next chapter. Maybe two if I'm in the mood to write another. But anyways, I hoped you enjoyed and will leave a good review. See you all in the next chapter.
