Chapter One

Yugi was sitting alone in a corner in the room where the Master kept his slaves. It was a stone room with no lights or windows, just a door that could only be opened from the outside. There were only two other slaves in the room with him, but there were usually three.

"No, please!" A scream was heard from the next room. Yugi squeezed his eyes closed and put his hands over his ears to try and block it out. That was the third. His best and only friend Jounouchi. There was a loud whimper followed by another scream. Yugi whimpered and hugged his knees to his chest as one small tear rolled down his cheek. Yugi felt horrible. It was his fault Jounouchi was in there after all.

~* Flashback *~

Yugi and Jounouchi stood silently in front of their new master. They, along with many other children, had been taken from their village to be sold as slaves. As for the rest of their families, they were dead. The master circled his new slaves, examining them. Both were dressed in short white pants and matching short-sleeved shirts.

"My, you are such pretty things," he said, his eyes moving up and down the boys. Especially you," he said touching one of Jounouchi's golden locks. The young boy pushed away in self-defense, but this only earned him a slap that sent him to the ground. He let out a small cry when he was given a hard kick to the side.

"I'll deal with you later," the master spat. "But right now," he said turning to the other boy. "I want you to come with me." He grabbed Yugi by his arm and pulled him roughly to another room. Yugi wasn't very strong and couldn't put up very much of a fight against the much bigger man.

"No! Leave him alone! Please!" The master turned around to see Jounouchi standing up once again with a look of complete horror on his face. "Please!" he said again. "I'll do anything, just don't hurt Yugi!"

The master smirked and threw Yugi to the ground. He approached the fearful slave and struck him, once again sending him to the ground. "I'll tell you what, if you come with me I promise not to touch your little friend," he sneered looking down at the body on the floor. The boy remained silent. "Very well then. Come here you." He grabbed Yugi again and was about to enter the other room when…

"Wait!" Yugi and the master turned to see Jounouchi once again on his feet. The boy paused for a moment before looking down at the floor in defeat. "Alright."

The master grinned and threw Yugi into a dark room and closed the door. The next things Yugi heard were Jounouchi's begs and screams from the other room.

~* End Flashback *~

It had been four years since then. Yugi was now twelve and Jounouchi was fourteen. True to his word the Master had not touched Yugi, and every night Jounouchi was forced to serve him in bed. The master had gotten two new slaves since then, but he hardly touched them at all. No, his favorite toy was Jounouchi.

The young boy looked up when the door opened. A figure was thrown in and the door slammed shut. Yugi rushed up to the fallen figure.

"Are you alright Jounouchi?" he asked quietly to not disturb the other two sleeping slaves, or more importantly his master.

"Yeah," Jounouchi said quietly. "I will be anyway. Ugh!" He clutched his stomach and winced with pain.

"Jounouchi!" Yugi cried softly trying to help his friend out.

"Man, it's times like this when I really start to miss Ryou," he said with a weak smile.

"Oh Jounouchi." Yugi gave his friend a small hug being careful not to hurt him. "You can't keep doing this. I'm not worth it."

The older boy frowned and tilted his friend's chin up so they made eye contact. "Don't say that Yugi, of coarse you are. You're all I have left now, and are worth everything. There is no way I can let that monster hurt you. I can take this Yugi, really."

Yugi sniffed and buried his head in his friend's chest, crying silently for him. Jounouchi wrapped his arms around Yugi and leaned back against the wall. He ran his hands through Yugi's hair trying to comfort the small boy. Yugi calmed down eventually and soon fell asleep in Jounouchi's arms. The older boy sighed, sleep soon taking over him as well.
