It had been a three nights since he was officially hired by the vibrant red haired one. He hadn’t been scheduled yet, but tonight was his first night of work and his heart was racing. He paced around his run down apartment, running fingers through thin, bleached blonde hair. Malik was used to be risqué on the dance floor, but he was clothed, and most of the time he knew who he was dancing with. Lavender eyes glanced at the digital clock that sat on a dusty nightstand next to his unkept bed. 8:34. ‘I guess I should get going, I don’t think being late is something Madam Kei likes. I don’t even wanna think what punishment she gives to latecomers.’ Malik grabbed his leather jacket, and made his way over to the door. He hesitated in opening it, but with a forceful turn of the knob; he was out the door in a flash.

The club had open it’s doors about an hour ago, and it was already packed with customers. The line was out the door and down the street with people in hopes they could get in that night. Malik walked past them all, as he made his way over to the bouncer at the door. It was one of the men he saw on stage last night. ‘Tall, spiky hair pilled a mile high must be a trademark for him.’ Malik took a deep breathe and strolled right up to him. But he lost his cool pretty quickly when he opened his mouth to speak. “Hi,” his voice cracked. Marik lifted an eyebrow. Then a slight smirk came to his devious lips. ‘New prey, this should be quite interesting.’ He knew this had to be the new comer Madam Kei spoke of earlier. Blonde hair, tan skin, yup it was him. Malik gulped as he tilted his head back to look up at the one who was obviously taller than him, even without the hair.

“Is umm...Kei here?” Malik spoke quietly. He was now on the verge of shaking. Being intimidated by his new job, and his new co worker was not helping at all.

“That’s Madam Kei to you, new toy!” Marik crossed his arms. ‘Such disrespect to his new master.’

“T-toy? Toy! Listen here you...” Malik was cut off by Marik’s deep voice.

“Take the back entrance.” He pointed with his thumb behind him. “All employees use the back entrance.” Malik decided it was no use arguing with the taller tanned one. He wanted to get along with all of his new co - workers. Marik snickered watching him away. ‘New prey, indeed’.

Before turning the knob, he once more froze. ‘I already accepted the job. I can’t back out now. ‘ He pushed open the door, and made his way inside the infamous building. Malik looked about, trying to find anything that would look like Kei’s Office. Behind a slightly open door, voices spoke.

“So, did you hear about the new guy?”

“A new guy is working here?”

“Yes, Jou, someone new works here. Should we make him feel welcomed? It’s always been just us for the longest time.”

“You should be nice, cause if he’s good in bed, you’ll regret you were mean to him.” The three voices chuckled, and carried on with their conversation. Malik pressed his back against the wall. ‘They don’t even know me and they already don’t like me. I’m going to regret all of this.’ Another much more feminine voice rang in his ear. “What are you all doing back here? I don’t pay you to eat!”

“Just a little break Madam Kei.” Kei’s voice was playful as she continued to “lecture” her boys.

“You had your breaks, now go out there and make them sweat! I want to hear them screaming for more!”

“Are you sure that’s not just what you want, Madam Kei?” Kei laughed.

“Go! Go my little boys!” The door opened as three males, followed by Kei left the break room. One of the men, a blonde, Malik recognized quickly. But he had never seen the ebony haired one or the one with spiky tri colored hair before. They were all surely beautiful men Malik thought, but he came back to reality when Kei called to him.

“Right on time, I like that in an employee.”

“I’m sure you do Madam Kei.” Malik smiled seeing a friendly face. Everyone seem to want nothing to do with him. He was glad that at least the boss was his friend.

“Oh you learn so quickly. Come with me Malik, I’m going to give you a quick little talk, and then we’re going to meet some people. You won’t be working tonight, I just want you to observe everything, see what your comfortable with, and decide what you’re willing to do. You can of course always change your mind later.” Kei pulled Malik into her office. A small little room, with nothing more than a desk, some filing cabinets, two chairs in front of the desk, and a couch.

“Take a seat Malik, but don’t get comfy, we won’t be here long. I really do want you to meet everyone.” Kei pulled out some papers and handed them to Malik.

“While I talk, you sign. It just some damn legal crap. You can read it over if you want.” Malik took the papers reading over them carefully, seeing that they were just like other job applications.

“Even though I already hired you, and your already on payroll, I need you to fill it out. “She handed a pen to Malik.

“Now, listen, I think I might have mentioned before a lot goes on here. Anyone can have there more wildest fantasies performed for them. And most of my boys are willing to perform them. Customers pay to get in here, and have random shows displayed for them. They pay more, they get a private room, and can see and do whatever they want with the time they are given. Now, I have some boys who won’t do private shows, which is alright. Then you get paid with a regular salary. You do a private show, you get half of what the customer paid. The more you do the more you get paid. Sounds fair enough right? Right.” Kei walked about the little office as if she were a vulture to Malik.

“ There are also viewing booths, which gives a little more distance between the customers and yourself. You do what your told, but the customer can’t touch you. And...” Kei let out a low chuckle. “This place isn’t called Dungeons of the Dark for nothing. I do have my own little dungeon in the basement. But you might not find your way down there unless Bakura, or Marik need you. They really do like to keep that place all to themselves. Do not let them intimidate you, they only should be feared in the dungeons.”

“I’ll keep note of that.”

“Good, well let’s see, is there anything else I should tell you. I explained payment, and you should know what’s expected of you. I guess it’s time to go meet everybody. “

Kei led Malik to what she called “The Parlor” . A show was being presented on stage. The ebony haired one had control on the stage, and of everyone who was watching. The slender body danced about on the pole, making some older woman near by squeal like school girls again. Malik also noted the other two men from before were getting friendly with other customers. Malik eyes traced over the slender yet muscular body that danced about.

“You like Duke?” Kei smirked. Malik watched saying nothing in response. The dance was hypnotic and he saw the boy twist and turn in a way he didn’t know a man’s body could perform.

“He’s single you know. As far as I know, Yami over there is the only one with someone.” she pointed over to the one with the motley colored hair. He was sprawled out all over a man’s lap. Yami fiddled with the man’s brunette tresses as he gave kind chuckles here and there.

“Oh and he is with one of my favorite customers. That is Mr. Seto Kaiba. He is a frickin’ billionaire so what he wants he gets it, understand.” Malik nodded, gulping a bit.

“But you might not have to worry. Yami and Jou take care of him pretty well, enough to practically fight over him.”

“But I thought you said Yami was with somebody.” Kei got a bewildered look on her face. Then she smirked.

“So...?” Malik looked away from Yami. For some reason that got him a little upset. If your going to be with someone, you shouldn’t be intrigued by anyone else. ‘This place definitely lacks morals.’

“Let see, that’s Jou over there, you might remember him from the other day.” Malik nodded as he looked around. Kei continued to show him who she “owned”, but he lost attention when he spotted what he thought had to be the most beautiful display he had ever seen. The boy had long ashen tresses, and a delicate frame. He wore no more than a little frilly apron around his waist, sheer white tights that went to his thighs, and white heels. He looked so out of place as he seemed to gentle, and had the sweetest smile. Malik could go on forever describing every inch of him with poetic detail, but Kei grabbed onto his face with her hand and looked him dead in the eye with that same smirk.

“That is Ryou, he’s just a waiter, and I’d stay far away from him if I were you.” Malik looked as if his heart were broken. This was the first person he had seen all night he thought he would have a chance of making friends with.

“Why?”

“He is Bakura’s property. Well at least in Bakura’s little twisted mind. I’m not to sure what Ryou thinks about that.” Kei dragged Malik further and further away from the beautiful creature until he was no longer in sight. Kei continued on with introductions as only random names stuck in his head. Tristian. Amelda. Varon. Mahado. Mako. After a while he stopped paying attention all together. The only thing on his mind was that little angel back there, somewhere in that crowd of people. He was this guy Bakura’s property only in his sick head. ‘Alright, I’ll just have to watch out for Bakura. No big deal, what could he possibly do.’
