I forgot to mention that the Millennial World will have most modern day conveniences.
Chapter 3- Reunion of Brothers
After having their bath, Heba and Atemu dressed for the day.
Heba wore black pants with a white shirt and velvet vest. He also wore his crown. Heba fastened his velvet cape to his shoulders for the final touch.
Atemu wore a pair of black leather pants and a velvet shirt. He also wore the velvet neck collar.
Heba noticed that Atemu was rubbing his wrists and said, "Is something wrong, Atemu?"
"No, it's nothing." At Heba's unbelieving look, Atemu continued, "I like to wear bracelets for some reason, but I'm not allowed to wear them now."
Heba smiled and walked over to his dresser. He opened a box and brought out several black, leather bracelets. "Like this." Heba asked.
Atemu nodded.
"Well, go ahead and wear them." Heba said.
"I was told that I can't wear them, though." Atemu protested.
"That was when you were thought of as an ordinary slave. If the slave master let's them, then it's fine, and I think that it's fine." Heba said.
Atemu took the bracelets. "Are you not going to wear them?" Atemu asked.
Heba started laughing. "Atemu, I've never worn them. My cousin Ryou's husband has a strange sense of humor. He thought it would be a good joke. I meant to throw them away, but never did. You can have them. I don't like that kind of thing." Heba said.
"By the way, why do I have to wear leather?" Atemu asked.
"It's just what personal slaves wear. Generations again, the personal slaves were actually pleasure slaves, so the slave master wanted them to look appealing, hence the leather. It was just never changed. Most personal slaves just do their duties and are not used as pleasure slaves." Heba said.
"Then what was last night?" Atemu asked playfully.
Heba smirked. "That was two lovers making love, not a master and a slave having sex." Heba replied. He turned slightly serious and said, "We're allowed to change what our own slaves wear if you would prefer something different."
"I really don't mind the leather. I was just curious." Atemu explained.
Heba nodded. "Come on. I want you to meet my cousins and their husbands. We'll all eat breakfast together." Heba said.
Atemu nodded and followed Heba out of the room.
Jou, Seto, Bakura, Ryou, Marik, Malik, and their kids were all in the lounge waiting for Hebaand his slave to come.
"Where are those two? I'm hungry." Jou complained.
"Puppy, we have been here for ten minutes. Just calm down." Seto said.
Malikleaned back in his chair. "I just hope that this new slave is different than all the rest." Malik said.
"I wouldn't hold your breath." Ryou muttered.
"Ryou, you shouldn't be so quick to judge." Bakura said.
"After all the slaves that havedone everything in their power to hurt him, why should we giveany slave a chance?" Ryou asked.
Seto let out a sigh. "Can we at least wait and meet him? I know that you are worried for Heba's safety, but you shouldn't be so suspicious. Not everyone is like them, and, truth be known, it's only been three slaves. Heba released the other three of his own accord for various reasons." Seto said.
"You're right, Seto. We'll give this new guy a chance." Jou said.
"Good. Heba should be here momentarily." Seto said.
As if on cue, the door opened, and Heba walked into the room. "what's going on?" Heba asked.
"Just waiting on you." Ryou said.
"Now, let's go. I'm hungry." Jou complained.
"You're always hungry!" Heba, Ryou, and Malik said at the same time.
"Can I help it?" Jou asked, pouting.
"Before we go eat, I'd like you to meet my new, slave." Heba said, stepping aside.
Atemu walked into the room, feeling a little nervous.
Seto, Bakura, and Marik all looked at Atemu.
And froze.
Atemu noticed the three.
He also froze.
Heba was about to speak, but was cut off.
"Atemu!" Seto exclaimed, jumping to his feet and running over to where Atemu was, pulling him into a fierce hug.
"Seto-I can't-breathe." Atemu gasped out.
"Oh! Sorry." Seto said, immediately letting go of Atemu.
Atemu was pulled into a bear hug by Bakura.
"Atemu, I can't believe it. I didn't think that we would ever see your face ever again." Bakura said.
"It's good to see you, too, Kura." Atemu said.
Heba, Ryou, Malik, and Jou looked at each other. They knew that Bakura's brothers were the only ones that he allowed to call him that other than Ryou.
Bakura finally let go of Atemu.
Atemu was pulled into another hug by Marik.
"I never thought that we would see you here of all places. It's great to see you here, Atemu." Marik said.
"Same here, Marik." Atemu said.
In their excitement, the four had forgotten about the others that were in the room.
Jou was now holding Seth, Ryou was now holding Crystal, and Malik was now holding Inchan.
Heba, Jou, Malik, and Ryou looked at each other, in a state of complete confusion.
"What are you guys doing here?" Atemu asked.
"We've been living here for several years now." Seto said.
"You have?" Atemu asked, obviously surprised.
All three nodded.
"How did you end up here?" Bakura asked.
"That's a bit of a story." Atemu said.
"I think that we would like to hear it." Marik said.
Jou had finally had enough and shouted, "What the hell is going on here?!"
All four turned to face the other four, finally realizing that they had been watching them the entire time.
"Sorry. I guess we all kind of got caught up in the moment." Seto said.
"I'll say." Ryou said.
"Why don't we all sit down, and you can explain to us what is going on since we are all lost." Heba said.
Seto, Bakura, Marik, and Atemu nodded their agreement, and the group sat down.
Marik, Malik, Bakura, and Ryou all sat down on the couch.
Seto and Jou sat on one of the loveseats while Heba and Atemu sat down on the other loveseat.
The three toddlers got down to go and play together.
"Okay. How do you guys know each other?" Jou asked.
"Well, you remember when we told that we were brothers and had two other brothers." Seto said.
It hit Heba. "Atemu's one of your other two brothers, right?" Heba asked.
All four nodded.
"We haven't seen each other for almost four years. We're more than a little happy to see each other." Marik said.
"Well, your reaction makes sense now." Ryou said.
"But what are you four doing here?" Atemu asked, looking at his brother.
Each one pointed to their own husband and said, "We're married."
"They're your cousins' husbands, Heba?" Atemu asked.
Heba nodded. " I didn't realize that you were their brother, or I would have mentioned it before, but you never mentioned your brothers' names, and they never said to me what their brothers' names were." Heba said.
"Yeah. We never did say that to him." Marik agreed.
"Well, I was going to get another slave to show Atemu around the palace, but I think that I will let you three do that." Heba said.
"We don't mind." Bakura said.
"Okay. Anything else can be said later. Let's eat." Jou said.
"Why don't I just have breakfast brought in here?" Heba asked.
The group nodded, and Hebawalked over to the table where a phone was and gave the order to the kitchen.
"Other than the fact that you are Heba's personal slave now, what are you doing here, Atemu?" Seto asked.
"A few weeks ago, slavetraders raided our town and took any able body from twelve to thirty. I was one of the ones that was taken." Atemu exclaimed.
Bakura muttered a curse under his breath. "I hate it when they do that!" Bakura growled.
Seto sighed. "That's what happened to us. You and Yami weren't in the village at the time, so that's why you were not taken then." Seto said.
"Who's Yami?" Ryou asked.
"Our other brother. He and Atemu are twins." Marik explained.
"So, your mother had tow sets of twins?" Jou asked.
"Yep. She had me and Marik and then she had Atemu and Yami about two years later." Bakura replied.
"Speaking of Yami, where is he?" Bakura asked.
"I honestly don't know. He had gone out of town to get some things for Father, so he wasn't there when the slave traders came." Atemu said.
"How are Mother and Father?" Marik asked.
"They're fine. Father's shop has been doing great. They're both fine." Atemu replied.
"Isn't your father a blacksmith?" Malik asked.
The group nodded.
It was then that there was a knock on the door.
"Enter." Heba called.
Several servants entered and brought in the trays with their breakfast on them before they left.
Jou jumped up, ready to dig in.
Malik and Ryou lunged at Jou and grabbed him, pulling him down.
"Jou, calm down. We'll all eat." Heba said, laughing.
Seth, Bakura, and Marik all picked up their kids, and the entire group sat at the table that was in the room and started to eat their breakfast.
"By the way, who are the kids?" Atemu asked.
"Theirs." Heba said.
Atemu looked at them.
Seto looked over at Seth and said, "Seth's mine and Jou's. He's two years old."
"And in his terrible twos." Jou added.
"Crystal is mine and Ryou's. She's one year and a half years old." Bakura said.
"Inchan is mine and Malik's. He's a year and four moths." Marik said.
"I'm an uncle?!" Atemu exclaimed.
"Yep." Seto, Bakura, and Marik said.
Heba, Jou, Ryou, and Malik looked at each other and had silent smiles. They were glad to see that the group so happy.
After they finished breakfast, the group stood up and left the dishes for the slaves to take care of.
"So, what now?" Atemu asked.
"Well, after Seto, Marik, and Bakura show you around palace so that you don't get lost, you can start with what I told you last night." Heba said.
Atemu nodded.
"And I don't have a problem if they're all with you as long as you do what you're supposed to, and as long as Ryou, Malik, and Jou don't mind." Heba said.
"I don't mind." Jou said.
"Go ahead." Ryou added.
"Just don't distract him." Malik finished.
It was clear that Seto, Marik, Bakura, and Atemu were happy with that thought.
Heba glanced at the clock and froze.
Atemu noticed and said, "Heba, are you-?"
"OH SHIT! WE'RE SO LATE! YUGI'S GOING TO LECTURE US FOR AN HOUR!" Heba shouted.
Jou, Malik, and Ryou realized what he meant and paled.
"WE'VE GOT TO GO!" Jou shouted.
All four were out of the door within a second.
Atemu looked at his older brothers, confusion written all over his face. "What was that about?" Atemu asked, pointing to the door.
"Well, those four have battle training with the Emperor at eight-thirty every morning on the dote, and it is now eight-thirty." Seto explained.
"I guess our talking and explaining everything made them forget about the time." Marik said.
"They won't get in trouble, will they?" Atemu asked, not wanting to get his lover in any trouble.
"Not at all. The last time, the Emperor just gave them a lecture of some sort." Bakura replied.
"We'd better show you around the palace." Seto said.
The group nodded.
Before they got out of the room, Bakura turned and said, "So, how's Heba as a master?"
Marik and Seto smirked.
All three had seen the looks that Heba and Atemu had been giving each other during breakfast and had reached the obvious conclusion.
"He's fine. He's been-really kind to me." Atemu said, blushing a little.
"So, what happened last night?" Seto asked.
"Nothing!" Atemu exclaimed, the blush deepening.
"Come on. We saw the looks that you were giving each other. You like him a lot, and it's obvious that you feel the same way." Marik said.
"You're not upset?' Atemu asked, thinking that his brother's might be a little angry for falling for his master.
"Of course not. Hell, the same thing happened to all of us." Bakura said.
"It did?" Atemu asked.
All three nodded.
"I started out as Jou's slave, but I fell in love with him. In fact, I knew that I liked him from the start." Seto said.
"Yeah. Considering you slept with him the first night, I'd say so." Bakura said.
Setoglared at him and said, "Anyway, I was his slave for about a year before I ended up pregnant. Jou asked the Emperor if he could marry me, and we got married."
"Same with us." Marik said.
"Oh." Atemu said.
"It's not that slaves have to do that. We wanted to." Bakura added.
"Well, um, actually, I might have-" Atemu muttered, his blush deepening.
"I don't believe it. Little Atemu's nota virgin thanks to Heba." Bakura said, starting to laugh.
"Shut up, Kura!" Atemu snapped.
"Look. If you like him, then it's fine." Marik said.
"I think that I'm in love with him, but why were you're husbands acting like they didn't like me at all?" Atemu asked.
Seto sighed. "Heba's had two personal slaves that took advantage of him and hurt him." Seto said.
"What do you mean?" Atemu asked, slightly worried.
"They gained his trust and tried to seduce him in order to get to the Emperor. They wanted to be the Emperor's slave and sued Heba to do it. He was hurt several times because of it." Marik said.
"Heba was really upset at how he had been used. They're just worried that it'll happen again." Bakura said.
"I don't want to hurt him. I couldn't do that. Truthfully, I would prefer not to be the Emperor's slave." Atemu said.
"No one really does. That we know of, he has never had a personal slave." Marik said.
"Come on. We need to show you around so that you can get to work." Bakura said.
Atemu nodded, and the group left the room.
There's Chapter 3. I had to redo it because I didn't like how it originally came out.
The next chapter will have more brotherly fluff between Atemu, Seto, Bakura, and Bakura. Plus, there'll be some interaction with Yugi, Heba, Malik, Ryou, and Jou.
R&R.
