Chapter Three: Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Ryou only waited outside of Yami's door for a minute before Kaiba came over to him.

"Ahh, Bakura's new piece of meat. Follow me. If you don't then… Well you don't want to know," Kaiba smirked before with a sweep of his coat walking off. Ryou sighed before following. He was worried for what was happening to Yuugi in there. He had just seen them kiss. That was unexpected.

They walked along the dark corridors in silence. No interaction was made at all, not even eye contact. Ryou just kept his head down and followed Kaiba, completely oblivious to the area around him. He felt like he was being lead to his death. The gloomy aura that the building had did that to people. The thought that you could die with any wrong mood was another. These masters weren't considerate. If you were completely honest they were cold blooded killers. Un-dead cold blooded killers.

They had soon reached there destination. Kaiba came to a sudden stop and twirled to stand out of the way.

"Enter. Bakura is waiting for you," He smirked. A chuckle almost escaped his lips but Kaiba held it back.

Ryou looked up and saw a large door similar to Yami's from earlier. Black and gothic looking and almost identical. The only difference was the encarvings. Various images of weapons lay in carved deep into the wood.

The doors slowly crept open, creaking loudly. Fear shot through Ryou's body. He gulped as the doors opened wider. Slowly as they opened a shadowy shape was revealed in the opening. A silhouette with spikes for hair was revealed a shadow in the already dark room.

The doors opened fully allowing a little light to enter. A click was suddenly heard from inside and lights flared up from inside the room. The silhouette was revealed. A white haired and almost an identical clone stood there. He looked older, his eyes especially, and he lacked the innocence Ryou had. He looked eviler in a way that Ryou couldn't think of words for.

The clone shook his head and his gravity-defying white hair. He Smirked towards Ryou before walking slowly over to the smaller clone. Ryou shook in fear more for each step that Bakura came closer. Bakura came up and placed his pale hand on Ryou's shoulder. Grinning manically he laughed slightly. Ryou's eyes maddened in fear, like a rabbit looking into flashlights of cars.

"Ahh finally my little Ryou has grown up. I'm Bakura and your mine," The white haired Bakura smirked before grabbed Ryou possessively and walking off with him. Ryou gulped in fear. Bakura loved it when his prey was scared.

---------------Scene Change----------------

Yuugi awoke in the bed, with the covers closely wrapped around his petite form, alone. He groggily opened his amethyst eyes and scanned his surroundings. A single folded piece of paper was pinned to the pillow next to him. In a thick, black and elegant looking font it said: "Yuugi". Interested Yuugi opened the note, wondering what could be inside.

Dearest Yuugi,

I've been called away for a meeting so you're alone for most of the morning and some of the afternoon. If you try to escape, I will know. I have a way to track you now, so don't even try it. When I come back I'll come to see you.

I had a fun night last night, MY Yuugi,

Yami

The memories of last night flooded back to Yuugi's mind. His amethyst eyes widened in shock and horror at what he had done. He and Yami had done that. Yuugi was disgusted in himself for the events of last night. How could he have done that? He looked around for Yami, in the dingy light from the surrounding torches, and saw no Yami-shaped blur. He sighed slightly in relief. He looked down to where he was. In the bed where it all happened.

He jumped quickly out of the bed, trying to escape it almost. It was filthy and stank of sex; the sex that he had had last night. And to make it worse it was with that monster. That monster had called for the death of Yuugi's parents. That monster had killed millions of people. It had also enjoyed it and literally swam in the blood. Yuugi's large and worried amethyst eyes scanned the room, again in fear. In the corner he saw a large gothic mirror.

Looking down to himself quickly he noticed he was still naked. He blushed despite the fact that no one was there. He quickly grabbed his clothes from yesterday off the floor and placed his clothes back on. He walked over to the mirror. It was a large mirror, both taller and wider than Yuugi, surrounded by a decorative black iron. It was just curls all connected to make the frame yet it looked so beautiful. Yuugi remembered the mirror he had in his old room. Just a normal one with a plastic, not wooden due to the fear of stakes, frame.

-Flashback-

A younger Yuugi was sitting on his bed. His knees were held to his chest and he was just rocking. His eyes were wide and tired with a look of fear. He was shivering a lot and crouched over. His Tri-coloured spiky hair had lost its shine and become dull. The spikes drooped a lot and lacked life. His hair was dirty and matted yet he had no care for that. His clothes were a dirty robe, different from his usual school uniform which he wore no matter what.

He looked over to the empty bed beside him. Ryou should've been there but wasn't. That bed hadn't even been touched by Ryou yet. Yami had told him that Ryou would be with Yuugi all the time. He had also said that they would be 'safe' from the vampires now. Then Yami just walked away, leaving Yuugi alone. A note had come saying that he was expected to learn from a vampire so when he was older he could work. This 'education' would help him become a useful worker in the castle and the king himself had decreed that they would have a tutor for 2 years.

Ryou was currently with someone who would help him. Yuugi didn't know who, no one would tell him, he just prayed that it would work. Ryou had been shook up so much by what had happened. He was apparently a wreck from what Yuugi had heard the vampires say. He didn't mean to listen in on their conversations, he just did by coincidence.

Now Yuugi was alone in his pale room and left to his thoughts. He knew one thing: He hated Yami and all vampires. They had killed his family. His family hadn't done anything. His family were innocent yet they were still murdered. His mother and grandfather, all that he had now, were dead. Ryou's family were also dead. And most of all, because of the vampires Yuugi was now alone.

He looked to the wall in front of him on it lay a mirror. Simple with a blue plastic frame around it's mirrored glass. Nothing really fancy, not at all, just a simple and normal mirror. Yuugi looked down to his hands. He hadn't looked at himself in a whole week. He rose up slowly and crept towards the mirror. He walked with his head bowed and eyes looking at the floor.

He soon reached the wall and looked up. The mirror was low down on the wall and perfectly in line with his face. He looked a state. His hair wasn't just greasy and matted but it had lost all life. His eyes looked worn and tired. They no longer sparkled with a slight happiness. The shade of amethyst had even dulled slightly. His eyes had lost the innocence that once burned in them. He looked scarred almost. Scarred by the horrors he had heard that week ago.

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all…?" He whispered. He knew of Snow White from the stories his mother had told him.

At that thought tears immediately streamed down his face. He looked at him self. So pathetic. He had let the vampires win.

"I…c-can no-ot let the-them w-win!" He blubbered, looking into his own eyes in the mirror. He sniffed loudly and wiped his tear-stained cheeks.

"Mum wouldn't have wanted me to cry. She would've wanted me to stay strong. Mum would've wanted me to stand up for myself, like she said about Tristan when he was mean to me!" He said to himself, still looking in his own eyes.

"I'll do it for you mummy! I'll stand up for myself!" He yelled!

The door burst open and a vampire entered.

"Great now we have two nervous wrecks! Your tutor dude is here," He mumbled before walking out.

-End Flashback-

"Mirror, mirror on the wall…" He whispered to himself, bringing back that memory.

"I can't believe I'm talking to a mirror again," He sighed, "Well, it's the best company I'm gonna get…"

"If Yami wasn't such an evil bastard then maybe I wouldn't have ever been in this mess. I mean he killed my freaking parents and I just made love with him! I'm such an Idiot! That heartless bastard cares nothing of love. I'm just his pet. I'll age and he won't. He'll get bored and just drink me dry. Then he'll find another victim. I bet he's been doing this for ever," He yelled before looking to his eyes in the mirror.

"It's so unlike me to yell out like this… But I'm so angry with him! I mean first of all he tricks me and I bet he tricked me last night! Or did a lust spell or something! I'm so disgusted at myself! That Monster cares about no one!" He yelled before hitting the mirror with his hand. The mirror only wobbled. He looked up to it and his neck.

He saw the scar. Two scabbed circles on his neck with a trace of blood heading downwards. Yuugi's hand immediately went to his neck.

"That… Bastard. That's all he cares about in me! I bet he does! Blood. That's all those Monsters care about! Blood, blood and more blood! He really doesn't care! Not at all! I hate him!" He looked up to his eyes, tears flooding down his face.

He sniffed loudly. Tears fell freely from his amethyst eyes.

"All I wanted was to live with my family and because of him I can't. I used to be young and naïve and because of this place now I'm tainted. My innocence has left me," He muttered, sniffling slighting, "And, it's all his fault,"

He ended his sentence. Hatred and anger showed deeply. He spoke it with true hatred, angry at what Yami had caused him.

Suddenly something grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. Amethyst met crimson. Yami snarled at Yuugi, he looked honestly hurt.

"And that's what you think. Let me tell you what I think," He snarled, grabbing Yuugi angrily. He placed him onto a near-by chair.
