Slave of Gods

A/N: Well, well. It looks like I have some new followers, well keep reading, it's about to get good ^_^, I kid, for now I'm just getting the plot in line. R&R T_T please. Also, don't blame me for some OOC moments, because it's bound to happen. And I am adding some OC's to this story, because I'm too lazy to see what is actually in the YuGiOh story line, and what will be applied to mine… if you know what I'm saying.

Chapter 2: Reason

Yugi was taken down successions of hallways and passages. When the guard finally stopped in front of a door with the glyphic for healer carved into the wood. The guard pushed him into the door frame and left him standing awkwardly in front of all of the healers. A girl about the age of Yugi grasped his hand and smiled. "Greetings, I am Elaine, I shall be showing you around and teaching you the basics of healing. You will not be doing any real healing for a while. So you will be asked to watch, or have unrestricted time to yourself." Her voice was smooth.

She pulled him along the passage way at the back of the healing room, to the healing slave's quarters. She pushed open a door and gestured inside. Yugi slowly walked into his new personal space. It was rather large for a slave's room. "It is big." Yugi whispered the simple sentence. "You have a few days to get sorted in before you have to work, so make the best out of it. Oh yes, before I forget. The Pharaoh's room is next door, so you will be sharing this room with his personal slave, if he isn't already made someone else's." Yugi glanced at Elaine, puzzled. "What do you mean someone else's?" He asked quietly.

Elaine flashed a grin. "I mean, his current slave has been a pest to him and he asked for a new one, but all the ones we bring him, he never likes. Hey, you may have a chance; after all you look like him, which may just get you the spot." Yugi look at the ground shyly. "No, I don't think he will. After all, I'm so much more different for all of the other Egyptians. He is revolted by me. No one could like someone like me."

Elaine grasped Yugi's shoulder. "Who fed you those lies?" She asked, her voice showing that she didn't think that Yugi was the slightest weird. "My village elder. He hated me to the end of his life." Elaine shook her long white hair. "Look at me, I have hair as white as snow and red eyes that look like I took someone's blood and rubbed it in. If anything, I look weird. And you are way charming, how could anyone feasibly dislike you?!" A tear escaped Yugi's eyes. "Everyone at my village hated me" Yugi whispered "And all of my family is dead. Ra hates me. My parents were killed because they birthed a demon child, or that's what Elder told me." His shoulders shook violently, "Every person I have met has picked on me or hurt me. I am done trying to get people to even think of me in a kind way. I never did anything to them, they just hate me because my skin is white, and they never gave me a chance in life. Just the same old routine."

"Yugi, look at me." Elaine said gently, Yugi slowly looked her in the eyes. His eyes red and swollen from all of the sobbing he had done "I don't hate you, Isis doesn't hate you. I am very sure that the Pharaoh doesn't hate you. I feel no differently about you then I do anyone else. That's the way it should have been. I am so sorry, Yugi. I truly am." Elaine smiled sadly. Yugi sniffed and blinked a few times before throwing himself into the kind teens embrace. "Thank y-you, I f-feel a b-bit better n-now." He whispered.

Elaine backed away slowly. "Hey, find a girl named Mana; tell her that Elaine said to take you to the gardens per my request. I think you will love it. You may just run into the Pharaoh too." She winked at Yugi. Yugi nodded and went to find this girl named Mana.

(Pharaoh Atem's P.O.V)

I held my head in my hands, my advisor was dragging on and on about the slave catchers that where kidnaping people in other countries. Not that I didn't care about it, I did. I just had the worst headache at the moment and couldn't focus. "Your majesty, maybe we should take a break, although the slave kidnappers have been spotted in Egypt. We are going to send a search guard, you may rest for the night" Aknadin concluded. I nodded my approval and left the throne room.

I debated with myself if I should go to my room, or visit Mana. It had been so long since I had had some alone time with my dearest friend. As I passed my personal garden, I heard two different laughs. Wondering who would dare go in my garden without permission, I searched the massive greenery for the voices. As I neared the fountain in the middle, what I say made my heart stop. Mana was soaked and currently tickling the new slave that looked like me. What was his name again, Yugi?

"Well this is quite the surprise, and who told you that you could be in here?" I said softly, but with an edge in my tone. Mana jumped up quickly and blushed heavily. "It isn't what you think Atem, I was just showing him around, and he just looked so cute, I started tickling him! I'm so sorry, I should have asked, forgive me!" I laughed, the deep baritone sound filling the air. "Well if that's the case then please at least keep it down a pit, I heard you way across the garden." I smiled at Yugi. He blinked and bowed quickly. "I am also sorry my Pharaoh, it won't happen again, I promise." He whispered in a small voice.

"Yugi, it is alright. I am fine with it." I told him gently. His eyes widened and he smiled the biggest smile I had even seen. It made my heart stop for just a moment; I was lost in his eyes. So childlike, yet so knowing.

Mana coughed, breaking the trance. "Well now that you are down to earth, why don't we have our dear little panda tell us about himself." She declared "Panda, I don't like that Mana. Why do you call me that?" Yugi pouted "Because you are so friggin cute, that's why."

(Third Person P.O.V.)

As the three chatted, they didn't notice the form of five figures sneak around them, nor did they notice that all of the guards in the area were knocked out cold. As the figures continued to trap the three, Mana stood up and declared that she was leaving. She somehow managed to slip out without noticing the five figures. But they were not interested in her; they wanted the boy, and possibly the Pharaoh himself. But they were not going to push their luck.

Yugi shuffled his feet timidly. He was in the company of the Pharaoh, the very individual he wanted to meet for the longest time. But now he was a slave and under the control of the Pharaoh, he had to do everything the man said, even if I did go against his judgment. "Are you okay? Mana can be a bit over bearing, but you have to lover her anyways." Atem said "When we are alone, you can call me Atem, I get tired of hearing My Pharaoh all the time."

"I am fine, my- Atem. She just picked at a subject I don't wish to speak to her about. It just that I don't trust her enough yet." Yugi slowly glanced up at Atem, then locking eyes with him. Yugi had never though that the pharaoh would have such compassionate eyes, or that his face would be so attractive. Somehow Yugi noticed that he was staring, and adverted his eyes quickly. Atem grabbed his chin and turned his head back to his face. "I wasn't done looking at you." He whispered softly. Yugi's eyes widened in shock and he turned so that he was where Atem had just been standing.

Blood dripped slowly on the ground as a kunai dropped to the ground a few feet away from the pair. Yugi held his arm as the blood oozed down his arm, the cut want deep, but it hurt. "Yugi! Are you okay?" Atem asked shocked, Yugi nodded, but was yanked from the Pharaoh's grasp. A man with a big figure stood over the young Yugi. "I will be taking both of you now, Men, get the Pharaoh! Escape!"

Atem glared daggers at the figure. "Bakura! How dare you! Unhand Yugi NOW!" Bakura just laughed. "Now why should I unhand the Ninshin (1)? My thief's need him." Yugi blinked a few times. "What's a Ninshin?" Bakura only laughed "You will find out soon, little squirt. Very soon."

A/N: PLEASE DON'T HATE ME. I know there are a lot of slave stories out there, but I'm going to put a twist to this one. I have yet to see one with this plot, so R&R!
