Chapter 8

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

AUTHOR’S NOTE: After discussing it with Mally-chan, permission has been given for me to write the rape scene with Seto and Ahmose with another author that Mally-chan and myself have BOTH written with; Bishojo shadow aka Junshin Tenshi. She is the creator of my website and she and I wrote My Forever together. She volunteered to write the scene with me, saying ‘It’s not fair that Mally gets to torture Ahmose all the time, I want a turn!’ XD!!! I’m perfectly fine, and Mally has given permission. So sometime, hopefully before this fic is finished, I will be able to give you all the rape scene. It will probably be posted as a one shot, but you should have no trouble finding it when it’s up. I will let you all know as soon as it is. Thanks!!!

After helping Ahmose to Seto's room, Ryou walked to Pegasus, hoping to find him there. "M-master Pegasus?"

Pegasus was channel surfing. He turned and looked at Ryou.

"Yes?” He said.

"Master... Ahmose wishes to have some magic back... t-to heal me.” He said softly.

Pegasus looked up at Ryou and cocked his head. "Heal you? Why on earth would you need healing?"

"Because I... I am dying." Ryou said softly. "H-he says he can heal me."

Pegasus blinked. "Again with the dying!!!” He cried, throwing his hands up into the air. "Genies can't die!!!"

"B-but...” Ryou squeaked. "I CAN!” He whimpered. "Please! Let him have his magic!"

"I am NOT giving him his magic!!!" Pegasus howled. "He's DANGEROUS!!!"

"But master if I die, your wishes will be undone!" Ryou said shaking his head. "Please!"

Pegasus blinked. "What do you MEAN they'll be... Ryou, what is that?” He cut himself off, staring down at Ryou's arms.

Ryou held up his arm and sighed. "I am dying... see?” He said slowly removing the wrist cuff once more, showing Pegasus the full effect of their greed.

Pegasus' eyes wide and he stared at the part of Ryou's arm where the skin was gone, leaving rotting flesh.

"My God...” He grabbed Ryou's hand and turned, running. "SETOOOOOO!!!"

Seto jumped when Pegasus came storming into his room, dragging Ryou behind him and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Was he being disobediant again?"

Ahmose turned to see what was going on from where he was sitting in Seto's lap, looking VERY nervous, probably due to the hand that was between his legs and stroking his inner thigh.

"Look!" Pegasus gasped. "Look at his arm!!!” He held out Ryou's arm and showed Seto the rotting flesh. Ahmose's eyes widened.

Ryou winced. "Stop!” He whimpered pulling his arm away and cradling it, the flesh beginning to bleed and pus from being jerked around so much. "It hurts!"

Seto frowned. "Hmm... So Marik was telling the truth then... a genie can die...”

Ahmose frowned and lowered his eyes.

"Ryou says that... that AHMOSE can stop it." Pegasus said, looking at Ahmose. "He says if we unbind his magic... but... that's the LAST thing we want to do...”

"He doesn't need his magic unbound." Seto said calmly. "We will ease up on our wishing.” He added. "That will be enough."

"What if we unbound him PARTIALLY... maybe his... healing powers?" Pegasus suggested. "He can use no magic against US... or... or whatabout, he can do NO magic without our specific permission AND supervision?"

"Are you willing to sit around and watch him every moment to make sure he doesn't use any magic he's given in a creative way against us?" Seto said coldly. "Or supervise him while he heals a genie?" Seto crossed his arms. "If wishes are what causes that, then we will merely preserve our wishes."

"No no no...” Pegasus said. "The only magic he will be able to used will be what we ASK of him, and we must be supervising. Kind of like a genie in a way. He CAN'T find a loophole in THAT!!!"

"Fine, you can wish that, if you're going to supervise it. I'm much too busy with my company to play doctor for a genie." Seto said rolling his eyes.

"Fine." Pegasus said. "I wish that."

Ryou winced as Ahmose glowed slightly, and the rotting flesh smoked slightly, spreading rapidly. "Ahh! It hurts!” He whined.

"Help him!" Pegasus ordered Ahmose. "Heal him!!!" Ahmose moved to get off of Seto's lap, but stopped and looked at Seto for permission.

"Go ahead." Seto said calmly and stood. "I will be in the study. When you are done clean this room.” He ordered Ahmose, before taking his exit.

Ahmose sighed and quickly took Ryou's arm. He closed his eyes and began stroking Ryou's arm, and with each stroke, Ryou healed a bit. A few minutes later, there wasn't a shadow on Ryou's arm. Ahmose smiled at him.

"Anywhere else?” He asked.

Ryou sniffled and offered his other arm, taking the cuff off of it as well. "Thank you...” He said sniffling once more. "Much better...”

Ahmose smiled. "It's my pleasure, Ryou.” He said, gently healing Ryou's flesh. Then he turned and looked at Pegasus. "Thank you for letting me help him, sir...” Pegasus eyed Ahmose, then smirked.

"You're welcome... you can pay me back as soon as you're done...” He said. Ahmose gulped and paused in his healing, but then nodded.

"Of course, sir...” He said. "As long as... as long as Sethos--" Pegasus scowled and slapped Ahmose.

"First... you are to call him MASTER.” He hissed. "Second... I am your Master, too."

"With all due respect, sir...” Ahmose hissed, finishing the healing. "I belong to S... Master Sethos... not you."

Ryou whimpered softly. "Master Pegasus... please... Ahmose wasn't the one to ask...” He said shaking his head. "Why would he be indebted to you?"

Pegasus glared at Ryou. "Are you talking back to me?” He hissed. "I have allowed him to heal you."

Ryou whimpered and bit his lip. "I... I wasn't talking back master... please Ahmose only did what you asked him to... He's still badly injured...”

Pegasus smirked and reached out, taking Ahmose's chin in his fingers. "His mouth is fine...” Ahmose's eyes widened.

Ryou squeaked in shock. "Please don’t! D-did he not just do you a service? He didn't h-have to tell me about his ability to heal me...” Ryou said quickly. "S-surely he deserves reward, not punishment!"

"Wait... HE told YOU?!" Pegasus asked, looking back and forth between them.

"Sir... please...” Ahmose said quickly. "Ryou showed me his... wounds. I knew I could heal them... so I told him to ask you to allow me to. Ryou is my friend. I couldn't see him in pain, sir!"

Ryou nodded. "Y-yes! he told me to ask...” Ryou whimpered. "Please! He's been behaving well!"

Pegasus frowned. "Perhaps...” He eyed Ahmose. "Very well then... we shall speak with your master...” And he grabbed him by the arm and began dragging him from the room, Ahmose wincing from the pain that remained between his legs.

"And you!" Pegasus snapped, turning and glaring at Ryou. "YOU come too. We have a job for you."

Ryou nodded quickly, putting his wristcuffs back on and following. "B-but didn't Seto say Ahmose needed to clean his room when he was done with me?” He pleaded. "Surely there are better slaves to be had!"

But Pegasus didn't answer, just burst into Seto's study.

"My dear Seto...” He said with a sinister smile. "Might I... borrow your slave's services? He can clean your room afterwards...”

"Oh hell no!" Seto said crossly. "You said you wouldn't be sharing the pharaoh, I'm not sharing mine either!” He added. "Get your own entertainment!"

Pegasus frowned and pouted slightly.

"Told you...” Ahmose growled, then nearly smirked as he saw an opportunity to cause trouble. "He said I belonged to him too!” He said looking at Seto. "He said I owed it to him!!! I told him not unless you said it was okay!!!"

"Shut up you bitch!" Pegasus snapped, raising his hand to strike him again.

Seto chuckled. "Pegasus leave him be, I'm rather proud that he knew enough to not let someone else into his pants without asking me first.” He said highly amused. "Pick one of the other slaves... I'm sure the dog would raise his tail for you if you wanted... or maybe our little floor-scrubbing jester...”

Ahmose snorted. "Actually, he wanted me in HIS pants...” Pegasus' eyes widened and he turned and gave Ahmose a look.

"I should burn your tongue you impudent little...” Pegasus hissed, but Ahmose just moved away, a wide eyed worried look on his face until he had turned to back towards Seto, and then, where Seto couldn't see, narrowed his eyes and gave Pegasus a smirk.

Ryou couldn't help the giggle that escaped his lips at that.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Slave, I believe I told you that you have a room to clean." Seto said calmly. "Get moving."

Ahmose breifly turned to Seto. "Yes sir...” He said softly, then turned and headed for the door, skirting around Pegasus as though expecting a blow, and pausing long enough to give Ryou a smile and wink, before slipping out the door.

Ryou giggled once more and waved, before turning back to Pegasus. "You... said you had something for me to do?"

Pegasus just glared at Ryou, absolutely livid.

Ryou blinked and coughed softly. "Master Seto... I think you made Master Pegasus mad.” He said softly... as much as he tried, he couldn't hide the amusement in this.

Seto laughed. "I believe I did. Stop pouting, the Pharaoh will be here soon enough."

"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at your... your manipulative little bitch!!!” He snapped.

Seto laughed all the harder. "So he's spunky, as long as he gives ME the respect I deserve I'm fine with him being a little saucy at you.” He teased.

"A little saucy?! He's down right disrespectful!!!" Pegasus howled.

"So? He's my slave." Seto laughed. "I'll tend to him as I see fit."

Pegasus snorted. "Fine...” He hissed, then turned and smirked at Ryou. "I'll just take the genie's lover...”

Ryou's eyes widened, but then he swallowed hard, hoping this plan would work. "You can have him.” He said calmly. "He was with someone else... I don’t love him anymore."

Pegasus blinked, then laughed. "Well, that's quite entertaining. By any chance, does that have something to do with his sudden misbehavior?"

Ryou lowered his eyes. "Probably...”

Pegasus smirked. "Well, it seems HE would be the safe one... I have a feeling that the Bakura rat would bite...” He smirked. "Once we take care of summoning our newest slave, I'll take that big blonde mongrel for a test run...”

"If mongrels are good enough for you, then by all means." Ryou said calmly. "They're not good enough for me."

Pegasus barked out a laugh and seized Ryou harshly by the arm. "Changing your tone, my dear? Seto, I do beleive that the genie is jealous... Well, perhaps you will join me in my bed tonight... since I am NOT a mongrel?"

Ryou squeaked, caught off guard by that. "I... I...” He stammered shocked.

Seto laughed. "Looks like you found a winner."

Pegasus smirked. "You. My bed. Sundown.” He said. "And once we are through here, you can send the blonde mongrel to my study. Now. Seto. We were going to summon the mongrel's baby cousin, were we not?"

Seto rolled his eyes. "After that big fit about the genie dying, you're going to make a wish in the same day?” He said incrediously. "Honestly Pegasus make up your mind!"

"Ahmose has healed him!!! And we agreed that we would wish for Malik today, did we not?" Pegasus said.

Seto sighed. "Wish for him then! I came in here to WORK!” He said scoldingly.

"You heard him!" Pegasus said, turning to Ryou.

Ryou sighed and with a wave of his hands Malik appeared.

Malik looked around confusedly, his mouth agape, having disappeared mid-lick of an ice cream cone. He blinked. "What the hell?"

Pegasus chuckled. "Malik, Malik, Malik...” He said, slowly approaching the boy. "Welcome to Amarna restored...”

Malik blinked. "Who inna wha wha?” He said confusedly.

Pegasus chuckled. "Welcome to Amarna. You are now in Egypt. You are also now a slave."

Malik raised an eyebrow. "I know News Weekly called you insane, but don’t you think this is pushing it?" Malik replied confusedly. "I mean come on!"

Pegasus snorted. "Well, thanks to our genie here, Seto and I can have whatever we want.” He said, smirking. "We already have your boyfriend and cousin...”

Malik blinked. "So THIS is where Bakura's been...” He said thoughtfully. "No wonder he wasn't answering his phones...” He scratched his chin. "Here I thought he was avoiding me...”

Pegasus chuckled. "Oh no... he's been scrubbing floors by hand and doing laundry. Your cousin has been doing laundry and has spend half of his time out chained naked to the dog house for his disobediance. I'm sure Seto would love to give you the details of what your friend Ahmose has been doing, hmm, Seto?"

Seto snickered. "I could give him a preview later...”

Ryou sighed and shook his head.

"So where's Bakura?" Malik said standing slowly.

Pegasus shrugged. "I dunno... where DID we put him today, Seto? Oh, Ryou... give Malik here some decent clothes... preferably something like yours and Inarus' clothes. He has a nice ass, from what I can see right now...”

Ryou sighed and quickly took Malik's hand. "I'll... take him to the rooms.” He said, quickly leading Malik away, and magically changing his clothes.

"Ugh gods...” Malik said looking down at his yellow harem outfit. "Tacky.” He grumbled. "and ass-breezy." Ryou quickly lead Malik to the slave rooms, where Bakura had just sat down, having finished scrubbing the floors.

Bakura flopped face first onto the bed.

"Hey Ishtar... is lunch ready?” He asked, his voice muffled by the pillow.

"Cook your own damn lunch!" Malik said wrinkling his nose. "Gods, vanish without a trace and expect me to cook your lunch? Fuck off!"

Bakura jerked his head up and turned, eyes wide. "Malik?!” He gasped, then leapt to his feet and ran over. "Malik!!!” He flung his arms around his boyfriend, flattened him to the wall, and kissed him.

Malik grinned and hugged Bakura tightly, kissing him back. "Gods I was so worried!” He cooed. "You just disappeared on me! I thought for sure you'd just left me and never wanted to see me again!" Malik clung to Bakura tightly. "Never do that again!"

Bakura shook his head. "Never, Malik... I love you... I got wished here in the middle of my fuckin' shower two, three days ago!!! Been scrubbing floors and doing Marik's laundry every since!!!"

Malik sighed and kissed Bakura. "Gods... I was worried... scared...” He shook his head. "Thank the gods you're ok...” He kissed him once more. "I'm here now... I'll help you do your work."

Bakura smiled and stroked Malik's cheek, guilt washing over him as he remembered what he and Marik had done.

"Okay... just... promise me you'll behave... they'll hurt you if you don't... Marik and Ahmose both have bandages COVERING their backs...” He said softly.

Malik nodded and hugged Bakura once more. "Thank the gods...” He said shaking his head. "Whatever you want Bakura... whatever you want. You're number one in my life...”

Bakura smiled and held Malik to his chest. "You're number one in mine, too.” He said softly. "You always will be... I love you...” He glanced at Ryou, who was standing in the doorway. "You hanging in there, kid?"

Ryou nodded. "Ahmose slowed it down... I'll be ok.” He said softly. I'm... going to go look for Marik...” He added. "I... wanted to talk to him." And with that, the little genie hurried away leaving lovers to kiss and coo.

He found Marik in the laundry room and bit his lip. "Marik?"

Marik was trying to get a sock stuck in the dryer, and when Ryou called him, he jumped. There was a bang and Marik fell backwards out of the dryer, rubbing his head.

Ryou squeaked and hurried over. "Marik what on earth were you doing?!” He said inspecting his lover's head.

Marik just rubbed his head and waved a hand at the drier.

Ryou blinked and climbed in, dislodging the sock easily since he was much smaller than Marik. Once he climbed back out he put the sock in the basket of clean clothes and sighed sitting down. "Why didn't you tell me marry didn't mean to make happy?"

Marik took the sock and blinked, cocking his head in confusion.

"I didn't know what marriage is...” Ryou said softly. "Ahmose explained...” He gave Marik a worried look. "How could you ask me to share in something so deep and spiritual...? I'm not an adult... I'm a slave AND you were with Bakura...” Ryou pouted. "It... doesn't make sense."

Marik chewed his lip, then mouthed, 'Because I love you.'

Ryou sighed softly and gave Marik a sad look. "I'm a kid.” He pouted. "Adults do not marry children.” He pointed out. "I'm not even real...”

Marik began to look worried, shaking his head in his confusion and misunderstanding.

Ryou gave Marik a long look. "Well it's true! I'm not real!” He said crossing his arms looking once again, cutely childish. Ahh the teenage years...”I'm not real! I'm a genie! I'm not a real person... I... I don’t think I'll ever be a real person again. And with so much changed... I'm out of place."

Marik began to nervously chew his lower lip, searching Ryou's face and getting more and more nervous by the second.

"Ahmose said... that Marriage was something that meant two people live only for each other...” Ryou continued softly. "You... and Bakura... and... I'm a genie...” He looked down. "I don’t think I can marry you... neither of us... can ever live JUST for the other...”

Marik grabbed Ryou's shoulders, shaking his head depserately. He stared Ryou in the eye, trying to tell him that he WOULD live only for Ryou.

Ryou shook his head and hugged Marik. "I'm sorry... We're not meant for that...” He said once more. "I'm too young... and I'm not even... real."

Marik's hands slipped from Ryou's shoulders and just hung by his sides, and his shoulders slumped. He sniffed and closed his eyes.

Ryou frowned and cupped Marik's cheek in his hand. "Will you not be just as happy... existing with me?"

Marik stared at Ryou, nuzzling his face into Ryou's hand, lifting his own to stroke Ryou's cheek. He gave the genie a small smile. It was sad, but also loving.

Ryou sighed. "Wont you be just as happy?” He asked.

Marik sighed and studied Ryou for a bit, but after a while, he smiled and nodded, pulling Ryou into his chest and hugging him.

Ryou nuzzled Marik and sighed. "If the gods do not come for me, then I will still be here to love you.” He said softly. "Master Pegasus plans to take you to bed today...” He added scornfully.

Marik froze and his eyes widened, the color draining from his face. His mouth dropped open slightly and he stared at Ryou in horror.

Ryou sighed. "I don’t know what to do Marik...” He said hugging him. "I can take your place... but only for so long... sooner or later…I wont be around to protect you...”

Marik sighed and hugged Ryou tighter than ever, resting his cheek on top of Ryou's head.

Ryou blinked and giggled softly. "I'm so small...” He said yawning softly and cuddling into Marik. "Master Pegasus requested me tongiht... again.” He cooed. "perhaps I can convince him to leave you alone...”

There was a sudden throat clearing, making both boys jump.

"Actually...” Pegasus drawled. "I had told you to dress Malik, and then send Marik to my study. I've been waiting for him." Marik's grip on Ryou tightened.

Ryou squeaked and gave Pegasus worried look. "He's still working.” He said softly, motioning to the laundry yet to be folded.

Pegasus smirked. "He can take a break.” He said, then grinned at Marik. "Well?"

Ryou whimpered and shook his head. "NO!"

Pegasus stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes. "What did you just say?"

Ryou whimpered once more and clung to Marik. "Please... leave him alone...” He said giving Pegasus a frightened look. "I... I grant all your wishes, I obey your every whim... why can’t I have this one luxury?” He pleaded. "Leave him alone...”

Pegasus glared. "If you do not release him and shut your mouth, I'll be using him from now on.” He snapped.

Ryou glared back. "If you touch him I shall let your poisonous greed kill me this very instant!” He threatened back. "All your wishes will be undone and then you shall see just what Marik and Ahmose have to think about you!"

Marik's eyes widened and he grabbed Ryou and pulled him away from his chest, making the genie look him in the eye. He shook his head desperately, eyes wide and terrified.

Ryou shook his head and glared back at Pegasus. "Leave him alone... please."

Marik made Ryou look at him again, and he gave Ryou a small smile.

"Shhhh...” He said, pretty much the only thing he COULD say. Then he kissed Ryou's forehead, and walked towards Pegasus, who smirked triumphantly, turning and walking away. Marik paused in the doorway and turned back to Ryou, giving him a reassuring smile and wink, then disappeared from view.

Ryou shook his head eyes wide. "NO!” He cried, scrambling to his feet and hurrying after Marik, grabbing his arm and shaking his head. "NO!"

Marik blinked and looked down at Ryou, and Pegasus looked back, glaring. "I wish you would shut up and leave me to my business with the mongrel...” He snarled.

Ryou glared, his left arm glowing with a dark energy, before from wrist to elbow his flesh resembled what Ahmose had just cured. He smirked back at Pegasus and let go of Marik, walking away, the arm still glowing with the dark energy.

Marik gasped in horror, staring after Ryou. He made a move to go after Ryou, but Pegasus grabbed him by the arm, glaring. "Don't you dare...” He hissed. Marik gulped and nodded and followed Pegasus, his heart pounding in his worry over Ryou.

Ahmose sighed, plopping down onto Seto's bed, which made him wince and rub his lower back. He had cleaned Seto's room and searched it, inch by inch, but the bottle wasn't there. He cringed when he heard a loud smack coming from down the hall, accompanied by a yelp from Marik (apparently, Pegasus had wished his voice back so he could hear him scream, but Marik wasn't giving him the satisfaction). A few minutes later, the door banged open.

"Go heal that mongrel." Pegasus snapped at Ahmose. "And heal the genie, too! Then clean up my study!" And he went on his way. Ahmose sighed and got up, hurrying into Pegasus' study. Marik was on his knees by the desk, and looked up when Ahmose came in. He smiled slightly, blood trickling from his nose and a split lip, along with a cut above his left eye.

"You okay?" Ahmose asked, helping Marik get up and dressed.

"Y-Yeah...” Marik gasped as Ahmose helped him limp from the room. "Just... the first time I've been on the OTHER side of the sex equation...” He confessed. "But I'm okay...”

"Good... let's find Ryou." Ahmose said, and they began heading downstairs. "I was told to heal you, but I guess Pegasus forgot that I can't do it without his supervision...”

Ryou was calmly working when they found him, and oh what a state he was in! His entire left arm was rotting, and parts of his side and right arm were purple and blistering.

Ahmose's eyes widened. "Gods... Ryou! What happened?!” He cried, abandoning Marik (who nearly fell over) and running to the genie.

Ryou turned and glared slightly. "Do not touch me!” He said coldly. "You leave it alone!"

Ahmose skidded to a stop and froze. "W-What? But Ryou!!!"

Marik stared at Ryou with wide eyes and a trembling lip.

"You leave it be! Those horrible men will see that I am no liar! I warned him! " Ryou said, absolutely furious. "When I am gone, they will have only their ruin!"

Ahmose shook his head slightly. "You... you want to die?"

"No!!!" Marik cried, running over to Ryou and dropping to his knees before him, shaking his head frantically. "No no no!!! You can't! Ryou!!! I need you!!!"

Ryou gave Marik a frighteningly serious look. "I will teach them a lesson!” He hissed, glowing with the dark energy, the poison spreading once more. "Never again! Never EVER again will I be USED!"

"No!!!" Marik screamed. "Ryou!!! Stop it!!! Please!!!" Ahmose just watched in horror. Marik whirled. "Find the bottle!!! NOW!" Ahmose blinked, then nodded and turned, running from the room.

Ryou hissed, obviously filled with rage from the poison slowly overtaking his body. "NEVER AGAIN!” He howled, glowing again, more poison spreading through him.

Marik sobbed, frightened tears flooding his face. "Ryou don't!!! Please!!! I promised... I promised you I would live... but I can't promise you I'll be happy! Because I won't!!! I will spend every single day hoping that it's my last!!! I will live wanting nothing more than to die!! PLEASE!!! Don't leave me to live like that!!!"

Ryou hissed at him, his eyes glowing with his fury. "They will know the rage and hate I feel!” He growled, glowing once again, the poison spreading once more. "Disgusting creatures! They will FEEL my wrath! They will lose everything their greed has produced!"

Marik shook his head again. "Is it worth it? To get revenge? Is you life worth it? Am... I worth it?"

Ryou hissed at Marik, a maddened gleam in his eye, too far gone from the poison to even begin to comprehend love any longer.

Marik slowly drew away from Ryou. "I... thought you... loved me...” He whimpered.

Ryou glared harshly and charged blindly from the room in a fury. His left arm now had bone exposed, and was bleeding rapidly, leaving trails of blood where ever he went. He let out an in-human scream of pain and fury, that was absolutely bonechilling as he began tearing through the palace, destroying anything and everything in his path.

Pegasus was in Seto's study, discussing a possible joint project between their companies, when the door banged open. Ahmose stalked in, glaring at both of them.

"Ryou's bottle...” He hissed. "Get it. NOW!!!"

Seto blinked. "What the hell... has gotten into you?” He said coldly. "Since when do you give orders to US?!"

Ahmose snarled, grabbed Seto's desk and flung the heavy thing over, computer and all, just reminding them that his magic had been bound, but all his strength and combat skills remained.

"If you want to LIVE...” Ahmose hissed. "You will give me the bottle RIGHT NOW!!!" Pegasus just stared, mouth and eye wide open in surprise.

Seto stood to meet Ahmose's challenge and glared at him. "Why would I do that?” He hissed. "What POSSIBLE reason would persuede me to give YOU the bottle?!"

Ahmose glared, fingers twitching. "As I said before... if you want to live...”

"Answer the question!" Seto said slapping Ahmose harshly.

Ahmose growled and threw a punch at Seto's face. About six inches from Seto's nose, his fist stopped abruptly, a reddish glow showing a sheild between Seto's face and Ahmose's knuckles.

"You see this?" Ahmose hissed. "It's stopping me now... but it won't be there to protect you much longer...”

"And why would it NOT be?!" Seto hissed warningly. "You healed that idiot genie."

Ahmose glared. "He's getting worse... he's ACCEPTING the poison into himself as quickly as he can... and he won't let me heal him...”

"You WILL heal him!!!" Pegasus ordered, grabbing a knife from a display that Seto had on the wall. "I wish for the Pharaoh!!!" And in a red flash, Yami appeared. Pegasus leapt forwards and wrapped an arm around him, holding the knife to his throat. Ahmose froze and his eyes widened. "Make him heal the genie, Seto... and PUSNISH him...” He hissed, threatening to slit Yami's throat.

Yami of course was caught off guard to say the least and gave Ahmose a befuddled and slightly afraid look. "Do what he says!” He yelped. "I'm rather fond of my throat being intact!"

"Heal the genie NOW!" Seto ordered.

Ahmose gulped and nodded, backing away, then turning and heading for the door. And knife to his throat or not, Yami couldn't help but be caught off guard by the sight of his boyfriend in a thong and harem pants.

"Nice ass!” He called after Ahmose despite the situation.

Ahmose tripped and fell flat on his face, and even Pegasus couldn't help bursting into laughter as he forced Yami after Ahmose.

Yami yelped slightly as he and Pegasus hurried after Ahmose, knife to his neck. "Watch the knife!” He said awkwardly.

It didn't take them long to find Ryou. The hallway was in shambles, there was blood everywhere, and Ryou had all but turned into night of the living dead, panting and growling... he was a being of pure rage and rot.

Marik was huddled back against the wall, crying and rocking himself, shaking in his fear. He was unable to take his eyes off of Ryou. Malik and Bakura were in a doorway, clinging to each other with wide eyes. Ahmose gulped and slowly approached Ryou at a shove from Seto.

Ryou hissed at Seto and Ahmose, blood flowing from open wounds, and from his mouth. "Come no further...” He hissed glowing once more, the stench of rotting flesh overwhelming the group.

Ahmose gulped and slowly knelt. "Ryou... please... let me heal you...” He said softly, edging closer and holding his hand out to the genie.

Ryou hissed, blood pooling at his feet as he glowed, flesh rotting off of his arm and sides, bearing bones to the air and more blood to flow. "You will all see... feel my hate...” He growled, daring Ahmose to make a move closer. "Pathetic wretches... Selfish little creatures...”

"Ryou... please...” Ahmose gasped, inching closer. He stared at Ryou with wide eyes, breathing through his mouth and not his nose; the putrid stench coming from Ryou was overwhelming.

Ryou lunged at Ahmose, bony fingers grasping at him, it was a scene torn purely from the most frightening horror movie.

Ahmose gasped and stumbled back, staring down at the rotting corpse that was clinging to him. He raised a hand and rested it on Ryou's chest, healing as quickly as he could.

Ryou let out an unearthly screech of fury and slapped Ahmose harshly away. He cried out and spun to the floor, stunned by the strength of Ryou’s attack. "I will NOT be used!" Ryou howled in his fury, the sounds of his screeching and moaning sending chills down all spines.

Yami was staring in utter shock. "Oh Ra...” He breathed.

Ahmose winced and sat up, then looked back at Seto with wide eyes.

"Heal him!" Seto urged once more, obviously quite surprised at how the 'poison' had progressed so quickly.

Ryou growled, sinking to the floor and panting harshly, glaring at Ahmose, daring him to come even a hair closer.

Ahmose gulped and glanced at Marik, who was shaking badly and sobbing hysterically. He bit his lip, and slowly moved towards Ryou.

"Ryou... please, let me heal you...”

Ryou lunged at him once more, swiping at him. "I will not be used...” He hissed settling once Ahmose had backed away once more. Ryou turned to Pegasus, giving him an evil smirk. "You will be punished...” He hissed chuckling darkly. "You will reap the sewings of your greed...”

And with that, he glowed a harsh red, and before the entire group... rotted to nothing but a skeleton and pool of blood…

Ahmose just stared, eyes wide, and a scream sounded through the hallway, piercing the hearts of all present with absolute greif and misery that filled it. Slowly, the knife fell from Pegasus' fingers and clattered to the floor, and Ahmose slumped to his knees, staring at the blood and bones that had been Ryou...

Malik hurried to Marik's side and hugged him tightly. "Oh gods Marik...” He breathed hugging him and rocking him. The entire group was absolutely stunned to silence.

Yami pulled away from Pegasus, and cradled Ahmose. "Gods Ahmose... a-are you ok?” He breathed hugging him comfortingly. "Oh gods...”

Slowly, things around them began to fade and waver, and a moment later, they were all in Pegasus' front hall, around a black and red bottle, and a blue and gold one. Marik was sobbing and rocking himself, not even acknowledging Malik. Pegasus and Seto stared, then slowly began to back away. But no sooner had they taken their first step then Yami yelped and was sent flying by a shockwave emanating from Ahmose as his magic was released.

Yami yelped, tumbling onto Bakura both of them ending up in a confused pile on the floor. "Shit!"

Ahmose’s transparent harem pants darkened to black and a purple cloak flared out around his shoulders as he stood and turned, slowly. He stared at Seto and Pegasus, eyes oddly empty and devoid of emotion, but they began to glow. Black fire flickered in his hands and his Kris appeared. Ahmose slowly advanced on Seto and Pegasus.

Seto's eyes widened as he and Pegasus backed away. There was no getting out of this one...

"You wanted me, Sethos?" Ahmose hissed, tears flooding down his face. "You wanted me... you have me... and everything that comes with me...” Pegasus let out a shriek when Ahmose knelt and scores of black cobras began to slither from the sleeves and folds of his robes.

Seto backed away, glaring darkly. "I may die today... but I take one victory with me... I take the genie.” He hissed wickedly.

Ahmose glared at Seto, and Pegasus squeaked, ducking behind Seto when the cobras surrounded them.

"Who said you were dying today...?” Ahmose growled, standing.

Seto smirked. "Even if I do not... I've taken something dear to you all... and you cannot get it back.” He said in smug satisfaction.

Ahmose held out his hands and his Kris disappeared, and in their places, two bottles materialized, one silver with sapphires, and one gold with rubies. Bakura's eyes widened from where he was sitting with Yami basically in his lap.

Pegasus took one look at the bottles and wailed.

Seto glared. "You pissed off Anubis the first time... dare you do it again, against your own god?” He hissed. "Dare you repeat your past transgression?"

"An eye for an eye, Sethos...” Ahmose hissed. "You enslaved Ryou, thus you will be enslaved in return..." And Ahmose began chanting over Pegasus' hysterical babbling. A moment later, the stoppers of the bottles lifted, and with horrible shrieks, Seto and Pegasus dissolved into plumes of blue and gold smoke, and were sucked into their respective bottles. The stoppers fell into place, and all was quiet, save for the sobbing a heartbroken young man in the corner of the room, cradling a golden bottle.

Yami climbed off of Bakura and stared. "Holy SHIT.” He said in awe. Moments passed... and he grinned. "That was hot.” He said, hoping to ease some of the tension.

Malik bit back a half-laugh. "Only Yami could say something like that at a time like this...” He said offering a weak smile, cradling Marik.

But Ahmose just sunk to his knees, dropping the bottles and collapsing into helpless tears.

ChibiRinni: Glad you’re enjoying the fic. As for Ryou dying again… >.> ….. ^______^() I DIDN’T DO IT!!! My co-author did!!! And things are only gonna get more angsty from here!!! And no, you didn’t see the rape… but you WILL!!! Mally-chan has given her permission for me to write the rape scene with Junshin-Tenshi (or Bishojo shadow) whom I have also written with before. We co-authored My Forever. She says it’s not fair that Mally-chan gets to torture Ahmose, it’s HER turn. So yeah. The rape scene will be added in later.

Jeda: Heh… yeah… they SO did not fit him. But no, he doesn’t watch Grey’s Anatomy… And yeah… Ryou… WAS dying… >.> ^_^() uhg… Dave Chapelle… >.< ::shudder:: My brother loves him… I can’t fuckin’ stand him… But yeah.. yeah, we’re torturing Ryou and we’re laughing. And mercy? What’s that?

MewMew2: Yeah… Ahmose gets ganged up on. ALL the time… ::sigh:: And we’re also writing a third installment to the genie series, though it will focus more on Yami and Ahmose. ^_^
