My life lost in shadow

Disclaimes: Nothing´s mine, everything´s Kazuki Takahashi!

Autor Notes: It´s a FanFiction by myself and a friend of mine. She had the idea to translate the story into English. It´s not our native language. So we want to ask, if anybody would want to beta the story. Thanks, Kiree.


Betray and sold – Chapter 1
 
A young man with small naked feet walked about the cold marble ground. Tiny bells covered him like jewels. Chains on his feet rung at every short step, as well as on his wrists. White -nearly transparent- trousers hid his legs and bottom. In spite of the better stuff which hid his genitals, everybody could see the contours very well. This was the reason why so many suitors looked at him with such desire.
A very tight and short top made of the same stuff of the trousers gave suitors a very beautiful look at the thin but tight upper part of his body. Another graceful detail was the noble golden necklace. All of these things gave his appearance a lovely touch of an exotic female belly dancer. The skin of the boy was bronze and his very outlandish hairstyle supported this. It was black, with red jags and gold blond streaks. But the streaks often fell in his face and blocked his view.
On the other hand it was a good thing for the boy, ‘cause nobody could look into the cloudy and empty eyes, who destroy the beautiful touch.
The feet and arms were bound with a thin but solid golden chain. There was also another chain, which lay on his neck like a leash. On the other end of the golden leash was a tall man, who was very well dressed. His hair was silver-white and long, the eyes brown and full of arrogance.
 
The evening comes and many businessmen visit the “Villa Pegasus” to met them. Pegasus himself enjoys these kinds of meetings, because he could present his own slave, “Doll”.
He knows the actual name of his love boy, but why he should call him so, when “Doll” sounds so much better? Yeah, Doll was his own; real dolls were toys without feelings und law. This personal law of Pegasus was very hard and the slave has first-hand experience of these rules, while the time had done the rest to brake him.
The shine of the beautiful violet eyes were gone and nothing remembered it. The eyes of the eighteen year old boy looks dead, then the owner of them was more than broken. He was destroyed.
 
The young man lives nearly a year in Pegasus villa and every day he dies a little bit more. But no day could hurt him more than his darkest day so far, far away in his memory.
Never he had thought it, but it happens…
 
//Flashback begin//
 
Warm sunlight shines trough the window and floods the big and rich mobilized room. Even the room gives many possibilities to feel good, but Atemu was always at the windows. He could sit there for hours, ‘cause it was very comfortable on his cushion, with the wall behind him. At this place he could dream and close his eyes, it was really the perfect place to relax.
Sometimes his younger twin comes into the room and lies in Atemu’s arms. Atemu loves the younger one. Of course there love was only brotherly. Yugi and Atemu connected a band of trust and love. As they were children they were always together to help the other one. They promised to never go away…
 
Atemu sits in front of the window; his eyes were closed, but he smiled. Nothing could destroy his rest which lay on him like a blanket. Nevertheless his rest was be broken, and the door was flung open and men stormed in. They bound him and led him like a dangerous criminal out of the room. He didn’t understand it and asked for answers, but a little time later he would wished that he had never asked. Atemu now knew a hard fact. His destiny would be more painful than the uncertainy.
A man with white silver hair and brown eyes come to him and told him, in a very pleased manner, that Atemu belonged to him. Atemu heard that his own father had sold him for a new technology from America. But Atemu knew also that his father is one of the richest men in the orient, but it was a open secret that this man valued material things and money more than his own family.
Nevertheless Atemu couldn‘t believe it. He was shocked, and Pegasus pulled him out of the house. Straight ahead to America…
 
//Flashback end//
 
After he was brought back, he got a course of disipline. Men thrashed him so long as he knew how to handle with his new master. ‘Cause he was a doll now, and no man. A toy Pegasus to sell to them like a slave. Every tiny mistake got him more pain. This ache was mirrored in his violet eyes, that shone with the soul’s suffering.
The first half of the year, Atemu saw nobody. The only one who came to him was the scapegoats of Pegasus and Pegasus himself. He had to live in a small room and Atemu was closed in all day.
Nowadays, Atemu was more than a shadow. The young man turned into a doll. No longer did he think about things. No question left his lips and his voice was disappearing. A doll like him has to look beautiful and do what someone says to him. His own will was unnecessary.
Atemu followed all the orders Pegasus gave him without thinking. He ate when his Master ordered to eat and he slept when Pegasus allowed him.
Most of the time he sits in his place and bears the looks thrown at him, or accepts that somebody touched him. He says nothing and doesn’t give any reaction, with the exception of when someone wants a reaction. Now was the moment he had to show a reaction.
Pegasus sat with many other men around a card table, talking with his guests. Atemu stared at the floor and sat dumb beside his Master. But his rest wasn’t very long, because Pegasus let him look up. “Doll, you should look happier. Maybe I should you give contact lens.”
Pegasus seemed to be in thought. He shouts for a servant, who brings the lens und puts it in Atemu’s eyes.
The young man does nothing. With the new red eyes he looked empty to his Master. ‚Doll… right… that’s my name. I haven’t another name any more.’ thought he.
Pegasus however had a new order for him. “You have to laugh, Doll!”
Atemu heard it, but he can’t do anything.
Laugh…
He knows the meaning of the word, but he can’t do it. But at least he had to try it, as he doesn’t want to be punish. He fears every punishment, because this was his biggest emotion.
Pegasus however seems to wait for to long, because he hits the boy with his hand. Atemu fell down to the ground, his face stinging.
It doesn’t looks like it, but Pegasus was very strong. Atemu lay motionless at the floor and showed no reaction. He was a doll.
“GET HIM OUT AND PUNISH HIS DISOBEDIENCE!!!!” bellowed Pegasus, the and servants took Atemu out of the room.
He knew what would come now. He would be punished and then they would be bring him into his small room.
Maybe he’d have enough luck to sleep until the next morning. If he doesn‘t he would be woken out of his unconscious state to entertain his Master.
