Welcome To Slavery

Ryou instinctively cringed and tried to pull away when one
of the figures embraced him. He closed his eyes tightly trying to push the man
off him. He was surprised when he let go of him though, ‘why let go?’ Ryou
thought as he retreated slightly from them both.

“Ryou…it’s me.” Yami said removing his hoo>

Ryou’s eyes filled with tears as he jumped into Yami’s arms
despite his legs protest to standing up. He smiled when Bakura removed his hood
as well.

“You…you came.” Ryou said softly resting his head on his
lovers shoulder.

“Of course we came.” Bakura said ruffling Ryou’s hair
playfully, giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead and cheek.

“How did you find me?” Ryou asked pulling back slightly to
look into Yami’s eyes

“We basically stopped at every tavern this land has.” Yami
said softly

“I guess when you look like me it’s normal to assume
something like that huh?” Ryou said a bit somberly.

“We’re not trying to insult you ototo…but we figured that
Marik would sell you to someone like the man downstairs…are you hurt any?”
Bakura asked concerned

“No…I guess not, my legs are a little hurt but I’ll be
fine.” Ryou said softly.

Ryou was tired he wanted to go back home so badly he didn’t
like being in this tavern and luckily Yami didn’t ma sce scene about leaving,
he simply bought him so not to make a big deal about it. Bakura was a bit
irritated about this, he wanted Yami to shut the place down but Yami simply
wanted to go home as well…they had Ryou now that’s who they came for in the
first place. Ryou closed his eyes and rested his head on Yami’s chest and as
they rode back to the palace, he had fallen asleep.

“He must be exhausted…” Yami commented brushing a strand of
hair out of Ry fac face.

“I would be too, you have no clue what he has been through
in the last few days…all because of your absence…he need’s you so much.” Bakura
said softly so not to wake Ryou as he took him from Yami’s arms gently to
cradle his ototo.

Yami smiled at the two as Ryou unconsciously clung tighter
to his brot “Yo “You really should stay…he need’s you too.” Yami said sitting
down on his bed as Bakura laid his brother down and Yami tucked him in.

“He seems to care about those who put him in danger…it’s
just his luck, strictly speaking he should be dead, but I guess we balance each
other out on saving his life and putting it in harms way.” Bakura said a small
smile playing across his lips.

“All the more reason you should stay.” Yami said placing a
hand on his shoulder

Bakura shrugged, he didn’t really want to reside in the
palace but that bastard Marik was still lurking about somewhere even if it
wasn’t forever he would stay for a little while, just to please Ryou if nothing
else.

“You do intend on sleeping though right?” Yami asked pulling
Ryou into his arms

Bakura simply nodded getting on the other side of Ryou and
soon they all fell asleep in each other's arms.

One Month Later…

Ryou
laughed as his brother tackled him to the ground nearly knocking down a table
as they wrestled on the ground.

"Will
you two stop it?" Yami asked shaking his head "You're going to break
something." Yami said lifting Ryou off the ground and over his shoulder.

"You
seem to ruin all my fun." Bakura said a slight scowl in his voice as he
lifted himself off the ground cracking his neck.

Yami
just rolled his eyes depositing Ryou on the bed and kissing him softly on the
forehead. Bakura stretched out on the bed, he was still getting used to his
brothers relationship with the pharaoh although he understood it. No problems
had occurred at all, about a week after Ryou's rescue Marik was found dead
washed up on the side of the Nile, probably drowned, but no one really cared as
long as he was dead. And Seto was executed for conspiracy.

Ryou
smiled "Thank-you." Ryou said softly kissing his brother on the cheek
and Yami on the lips "I'm so happy that you both found me." Ryou said
softly

"It's
been a month Ryou." Bakura said sitting up looking at Ryou curiously
wondering specifically about the sudden thank-you.

"But
I never said thank-you." Ryou said tilting his head to the side

"We
know your grateful Ryou, you don't need to verify anything." Yami said
ruffling his hair and pulling Ryou into his lap as he sat down on the bed next
to Bakura.

"Are
you staying Bakura?" Ryou asked softly

Bakura
shrugged "I don't know, I really have nothing here to keep me…except you,
but you won't need me forever, I don't think you need me much longer
either." Bakura said looking at Ryou intently.

"You're
my brother Bakura I will always need you." Ryou said softly

Bakura
again shrugged as he stood up, "I'll be in my chamber if you need
me." He said walking away.

"He'll
stay if you say you want him to." Yami said turning Ryou's face to his

"But
I don't want him to stay here if he's unhappy here…he's not used to a life of
such luxury and he doesn't want to get used to ither…her…he like's roughing it
in life." Ryou said sighing.

"s
ds
do something else to take our mind's off him for now." Yami said kissing
Ryou passionately as Ryou leaned into the kiss happily.

Bakura
walked through the hallways, Ryou had taught him how to read although he still
had problems with it so he took his time looking at the inscriptions over the
walls.

"What
are you looking at?" A woman's voice asked

Bakura
just shook his head "Honestly I haven't a clue…yet." Bakura said
concentrating on it, as the woman got closer to him leaning over to look at the
inscription closer her black hair falling over her shoulders.

Bakura
frowned "Who are you?" He asked curious that he had never seen her
before

"Isis…I'm
Malik's big sister, are you Ryou?" She asked seeming confused

"No,
I'm his older brother Bakura…what was that look for?" Bakura asked

"Oh,
its just Malik described him and you fit the physical appearance but not the
age…or anything else for that matter." She smiled slightly.

"we
know this all to well." Bakura said continuing his walk as she tagged
along beside him and they talked to one another.

"Is
he with the pharaoh?" She asked

"Of
course, he doesn't seem to get along well with the other's that are his
age." Bakura said

"Neither
does Malik, he sticks to the one he loves…that's why I'm here to give my
brother some other attachment besides his lover." She said

"Sound's
like my occupation as well." Bakura said sighing

"You
don't seem very happy here." Isis said trailing off a bit noticing his
expression as he looked out a window.

"I
don't belong here…I want to leave but I don't want to abandon my
brother…again." Bakura said

"I
used to be here too…then I found out what had happened to my little brother and
I wanted to protect him so I came back a short while ago…should misfourtune fall
upon him again I want to be there for him." She said

"You
don't seem like you belong here either." Bakura said leading against the
wall

"until
he say's it's okay for me to go home…I'll stay here." Isis said

"Home?"
Bakura asked

"I
lived in the city, my friend is watching over my place until I can go
back." Isis said

"I
don't even think people could find my home should they even be looking for
it." Bakura laughed slightly "But it would be nice to return home
someday."

"Yes."
Isis said as they parted ways.

I
might add a lemon in the next chapter and I was curious if you want me to make
Isis/Bakura pairing. Anyway I'm sorry that this chapter is so late!

PLEASE
REVIEW!!!
