Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Business Hours ❯ Business hours-Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

All right, I had a question about Kaiba and yeah I understand it will take a lot of convincing to make Kaiba 'good' how about not as bad? Hope that's a better explanation when he stops being an ass ^_^ anyway enjoy the fic!

"You're to stay in this room." Charles said in his gruff yet demanding tone. "I don't want to see you sneaking off at night, I expect you to behave and you're to do chores." He added, handing Ryou a rather lengthy list of chores. "Your father wants me to beat the gay whore out of you, and that's exactly what I intend to do." He growled. Charles had a personal hatred toward gays. "I'll see you downstairs when dinner is ready." He added. "Any questions?" He said flatly, pretty sure, that he'd been pretty clear on his orders.

"No." Ryou said flatly oh god how he hated this man, one of the many reasons he hated staying with his father in the first place Charles was always over, and giving him disgusted looks because he looked so much like his mother. But regardless he decided to sneak out as much as he could even if it did earn him a beating he didn't care.

Charles nodded. "I'll know if the chores aren't done, and if I catch you out of this house, I don't care HOW injured you are I'll beat the hell out of you...little faggot." He growled slamming the door in Ryou's face. "Get to work!" he shouted as he proceeded away from Ryou's new room.

Ryou rolled his eye's at his uncle as he opened the door to his bedroom and went to the living room cleaning it; if he knew cleaning actually relived stress for him, he would probably make him do something else but for now it would be okay. He wouldn't have to put up with this man for to long. He heard him shuffling through the kitchen and making several call's sounded like he was inviting people over, probably why he was in such a rush to get the place cleaned up...if he wasn't such a slob the place wouldn't take to long.

Malik sat quietly, worrying about Ryou slightly. He had left early to go with his uncle, thinking it best that Yugi not have to deal with a goodbye after whatever Seto had done. He was just now wandering down the stairs in his pajamas, and looking at Malik tiredly. "Good morning..." he said softly yawning and stretching.

"Good morning Yugi." Malik said smiling, and hoping Ryou's time at his uncles would be a good chance for him to heal and relax...

The phone rang startling them both slightly as Yugi managed to answer it first.

"Moshi-moshi?" Yugi said although he already knew it was going to be Otogi who wanted him to go to Seto's nonetheless. "But I..." Yugi began but Otogi simply hung up on him. Yugi looked at Malik feeling tears well in his eyes. "I...I can't go back to him!" Yugi yelled to Malik "I simply can't please Malik don't make me go!" Yugi said throwing himself in Malik's arms sobbing softly at remembrance of what Seto had said "None of it is true!" he sobbed.

Malik sighed and patted Yugi's back gently. "It's ok Yugi...I wont make you go...I'll go." He said hugging him tightly. "You got hurt and you were NEVER a part of this stupid thing to begin with..." Malik said smiling a little. "You just take the day off...ok?" He said letting go of Yugi and going to grab his jacket. "Take care of the apartment while I'm gone, and take it easy." Malik said softly, hugging Yugi once more before setting off to Seto's house, to tell him off, and finally give in.

Yugi bit his lower lip he felt a little guilty for Malik going in his stead but he just couldn't take another mental job from him, he would have to call Ryou a little bit later to tell him of all this though…he knew where Ryou had gone although he didn't say goodbye.

Seto wasn't very surprised to see Malik brought up to his room other than Yugi as he smiled at him; after all, it was only a matter of time. "You should have accepted my offer when I first presented it to you, I wouldn't have to use such drastic measures if you had headed my word." Seto said.

Malik scowled. "I'm only doing this because you couldn't bow gracefully, instead you had to drag totally innocent people down with you! I absolutely HATE you, you're the lowest sort of scum imaginable. But if this is what it takes for you to leave Ryou and Yugi alone...then I will do it...for them." Malik growled, crossing his arms and looking away from Seto. "I will never love you...you sick bastard."

Seto smiled at him "Innocent? You really think your friends are innocent? How pathetic." Seto snorted as he took Malik's chin in his hand making him look at him. "They didn't ever tell you did they? What their lives were like before you all moved in together, you were the only one with a semi-clean background of them all, you are the most innocent of them." Seto said

Malik pulled away from Seto. "What's in their pasts is exactly that, in the past. I don't care what they did, or what happened. They don't need to tell me, until they're ready, and until then, I'm not even going to ask. It's their business." He said smartly. "Leave them out of this. They were never a part of this whole ordeal, and you knew that, you just exploited them because you knew I wouldn't stand for it..." Malik growled glaring darkly at Seto. "You are pathetic for using them to get me, and it doesn't matter...because whether or not I'm titled as your 'boyfriend' you really haven't gained a damn thing. I still hate you, and nothing will change that."

"True, but I can only tolerate rebellion to a certain degree...if you want your friends to stay safe you will do as your told, I still can purchase them whenever I please and hurt them because of what know about them." Seto said pulling Malik closer to him once again, now be a good boy." Seto said kissing him deeply.

Malik glared at Seto, letting him kiss him, although he wasn't doing ANYTHING to kiss him back. 'Bastard...' he thought bitterly, knowing that Seto would continue to use Yugi and Ryou against him as he had just said. 'Even AFTER you get your sick little way, you use others to force people to do what you want. People like you should be shot on sight, then pissed on.'

Seto pulled away from Malik shoving him roughly to the ground and glaring at him dangerously. "Malik I don't care if you like this or not, but you will react when it suits me. I don't think you would like me to find reaction from your little friends would you?" Seto said reaching down and grabbing him by the arms pulling him to his feet. "Shall we try this again?" He said again kissing him deeply.

Malik pulled back slightly, giving Seto a hurt and slightly angry look. "Why do you have to do this?! Why couldn't you just leave me alone? I didn't mind the friendship we had years ago...but then you had to force yourself on me until I couldn't stand to be near you! Why cant you just accept that I don't love you, and I never will! I can't control my emotions and tell them to love you it doesn't work that way!" Malik said looking away quickly. "Why cant you bow out gracefully and let me be. Surely there's someone ELSE in the whole wide world who you could torment. Hell, I'm sure there's an S&M house somewhere right here in town, if you aren't even looking for the love. I have two people who depend on me Seto, and you're hurting them and using them against me! How can you possibly expect me to even ACT like I can stand even touching you!?" Malik said shaking his head. Seto had become a snake in the grass since the first time he suggested they get together, and only proceeded to get worse and worse as Malik steadily refused his offers.

"You knew I liked you from the first day we meet, then you went and started whoring your body to other people...I should be allowed the same privilege as them." Seto paused his voice softening slightly. "If I recall correctly I never actually forced you into anything, you came to me after a particularly rough night and I protected you...it's not my fault things went a little far that night." Seto said hugging Malik from behind "All I ever really wanted was more, I don't want anyone else. But if you continue to deny me what I crave I will use the tactics I must to obtain it." He said a little rougher.

"You get what everyone else who ever bought me gets, my body. Not my heart, not my thoughts or soul. Do you actually think I enjoy what I do? I do it because I have to. Yugi and Ryou need me, Otogi never agrees when I bring up possibly quitting. Seto, I always valued your friendship, but I can't be with you! Stop making me miserable and accept it!" Malik said softly, shaking his head more. "I cant love you, you've hurt me, you've hurt my friends...I have every right to hate you as I do. How could you expect me to 'love' you when you do this shit to me and those I care for?" he added, pulling away from Seto. "I simply can't stand you...not even enough to pretend, like I could get drunk enough, to enjoy a kiss from you."

That last comment made Seto very angry but he tried to restrain himself from hurting the boy before him. "Then why did you keep coming back? Why do you continue to come back we've only had such a problem now which is because of your friends."

Malik sighed. "I came back, because I thought you'd just give up after a while...go back to being my friend. I thought you'd find someone else to love, or something better to do." He said shaking his head. "I never knew you'd become an obsessed near-stalker who blackmails me into pretending like there might be something between us..." Malik added closing his eyes and sighing again. "I was young, and apparently as optimistic as Yugi is..."

"You're still young and apparently acting just as stupid, I didn't want to go to such lengths Malik...you wouldn't even talk with me at first like we are doing now." Seto looked away from him he hated to admit it but he was making a good point, many good points. "And I wouldn't want you if all you did was pretend you liked me, but you seemed to enjoy the time we spent together for the most part, I thought your so-called friends were simply holding you back...you deserve so much better than what you are doing now don't you understand that?" Seto asked

"That may be true, but it's all I have. It's all I can do, and most likely all I'll ever be able to depend on for money. Yugi and Ryou need me, they're my friends and you're one of the newest reasons that they need me. I wont deny that I enjoyed your company...but as time went by, you just kept pushing and pushing for me to be your boyfriend Seto. How could I be ANYONE'S boyfriend and do what I do? It defeats the purpose. It's pointless to even try." Malik said looking at the door.

"The reason I pushed so hard was so that you wouldn't have to do this anymore, I was hoping you would realize that as well." Seto shook his head "You are to damned stubborn to know what's in your best interest, yes your friends would be left behind but you should look out for number one instead of putting everyone else before you…I'm almost positive they would willingly let you go if you had a way out." Seto said leaning against the wall.

Malik sighed. "I can't just go. How would I make money to live off? Not that Otogi would even LET me go. You have to consider Otogi, I tried to leave before I met Yugi and Ryou. It didn't work." Malik said blandly. "It doesn't matter, I've accepted this as the only thing I'll be doing for a while." He added taking a few steps towards the door.

Seto sighed closing his eyes still shaking his head at the boy before looking up at him after a moment. "You need to learn how to accept kindness when offered to you Malik..." Seto gave a defeated sigh "Very well go, I won't hire you or your little friends anymore which my not be for the best I hope you can handle not having my funds anymore." He said turning his back to Malik.

Malik bit his lip slightly before turning to the door. "Sorry it had to come to this Seto...I'm just not someone you should associate with anyway. We'll make due without your funds." he said opening the door and sighing, knowing that it'd be hell trying with Ryou so hurt. The rent was due, and the groceries and there was no way in hell they would make it now that Ryou couldn't work and Seto wouldn't be hiring him, unless he worked double time...or as a corner whore. "Seeya.." he said softly.

Seto sighed as the young boy left. "Make do..." He could hardly stand himself at the moment he hated using such brutal tactics and in the end they meant nothing at all, he still did not have Malik and probably would never have him as well..."Damn feelings." He grumbled unhappily as he went to his desk writing out a check, even if Malik wouldn't accept it he had to at least try to help him out knowing exactly what Malik would do to keep his friends safe which only meant more danger for him in the end. He had one of his men send it to their apartment without a return address afraid he would just send it back but without a return address all he could do was either throw it away or cash it, hopefully he would do what was better for him in the end...this time at least.

"The living room was 'clean enough', although Charles thought it could be much cleaner. He was a bit angry that Ryou had been unable to do a better job, but smiled as the first few guests arrived for his little party. "You be on your best behavior, if someone wants something you get it. If someone says for you to jump, you'd better damn well say 'how high?' got it?" he breathed dangerously, letting Ryou know that if he didn't obey he'd deeply regret it."

Ryou was almost unable to stop himself from screaming bloody murder at his uncle but he quickly put a lid on it and mumbled. "Yes sir." as the guest walked over to him raising his chin sharply as he approached him.

"Your nephew?" He asked smugly as he sneered at Ryou and shoved him to the ground "How pathetic, hopefully me and the boys can help you in this little situation." He said.

Ryou was about to stand when he was brought roughly to his feet by his uncle who practically threw him across the room as he hit the adjacent wall hard nearly making him sink back to his feet because of his already bruised body. He knew his uncle wouldn't hurt him too badly when he was already injured but unfortunately his friends would be here too and he also knew once his uncle started drinking it was a whole new ball park and anything went afterward. 'Just let me live through tonight' Ryou thought solemnly.

Charles smirked a bit. "I hope so, it's bad enough that he looks like a little queer, but when he actually 'told' his father that he WAS a fag, that's when I REALLY got pissed. I wont be related to a dick-licking little fairy." he growled shaking his head. "I've been trying to think what I should do to get him on the straight again...but it's hard to decide. After all, you have to be fucking insane to be a little faggot anyway..." he said thoughtfully, almost sadistically to his friend.

His friend smiled at Charles and then to Ryou who was obviously nervous about this whole situation. "He does look like a girl doesn't he?" His friend spoke softly as he grabbed Ryou's hair and drug him into the kitchen. "Why don't you start by pouring us a few drinks wench?" he said practically throwing Ryou into the counter before walking over to his uncle. "What kind of father would let his son grow his hair that long in the first place?" He said shaking his head.

"Yaten had a lot of work, and was really torn up about Cecilia's death...he left the brat alone too much, and apparently the little fag went downhill from there. Probably played with himself too much..." Charles said shaking his head. "I'm sure if Cecilia hadn't died, the flamer wouldn't have gone gay. It's disgraceful to the family name. Just thinking of how Cecilia would have taken it alone brings tears to the eyes." he added shaking his head more and sighing. "That's why Yaten and I have decided to re-teach him, make him straight. It's for his own good, as well as for the reputation of the family. Gay...pah!"

Ryou clenched his hands tightly in fists when he heard them talk about his mother, they didn't know a damn thing about him, his dad, or his mother and they had no right to even speak of her. He sighed setting the drinks down on the coffee table and went to answer the door as a few others came strolling in, already looking as if they have had one too many drinks. He closed the door wanting to run away at that point but even if he could get out the door where would he go? He couldn't go home that would be the first place they would look and he had burdened Joey one too many times he could get in serious trouble just for being near him because of what Ryou did for a living. He didn't know if his uncle knew what he did or even if his father knew hopefully, he didn't or at least that he wouldn't tell the others about it.

"So, what are the ideas of making out little 'friend' Ryou here a better person in the long run? We need to teach him how to be a MAN and not some girly freak." Charles said smirking. "You're all welcome to try anything you'd like to teach him how stupid it actually is to be gay. I think we all agree that fags are just garbage littering our normal world. One less is a goal worth fighting for." He said leaning back in his seat, eager for any and all torturous advice to use on his nephew.

His friend smiled "He wants so much to be like a girl...let's grant that wish for a little while, see how much he likes it when he has to play the part." he said as he stood up. "You had a daughter didn't you?" He asked softly.

"Yeah, I did...I still have some of her clothes too...it's in her room. Down the hall and to the left." Charles said, catching a bit of the clue of what was being planned. "She left a bunch of her shit behind, but that's ok. She visits enough that it doesn't matter. She's such a good girl.." Charles added remembering his loving daughter. Charles imagined the horrified look on Ryou's face and smirked. "This ought to be hysterical."

His friend smiled as he grabbed Ryou's wrist and began to drag him upstairs with Charles close behind as he threw Ryou to the bed as he held him down slightly struggling with the boy as he fought back surprisingly well with him as he tried to remove his clothes.

"Let me the fuck go!" Ryou yelled surprised by his language his family tended to bring out the worst in him unfortunately but he was almost instantly shut up when Charles punched him in his gut knocking the wind out of in doing so.

"You know what girls wear usually...why not pick something out for us will you?" He asked directing his question at Charles as he began to remove the rest of Ryou's clothes although he was doubled over at the minute and receiving death glares from Charles. Charles chuckled to himself and dug through the closet, pulling out a gorgeous and VERY girly blue and silver velvet dress. It had been his daughters dress for her prom, and Ryou was the perfect size. "Does this look about right? He said tossing the dress to his friend, before digging out the matching shoes. "Are we missing anything?" He said looking at the look of hatred and horror from Ryou and laughing a bit more. "Maybe this'll teach you to think twice before being so girly." He laughed, before digging out the gorgeous hair assessor his daughter had worn that night as well. This was one time Ryou would regret being so feminine and having such long hair.

Ryou regardless of his pain still tried to pull away from both of them although it would have probably been easier if he just sat back and let them humiliate him like this.

"You bastard!" Ryou screamed at his uncle as the last of his clothing was stripped away and the dress was forced over his head by the other. "How the hell is this supposed to help?! What's wrong with you?" Ryou continued to yell despite what was happening.

"It will teach you that in order to love a MAN, you cannot be one. Besides, if we show you just how humiliating being a woman can be, perhaps you'll decide you would much rather prefer acting like the man you were meant to be!" Charles said smirking as his friend dressed Ryou. "You want to love men? Well here is your chance, love as many as you want while you're a woman." Charles said chuckling. "I'm half tempted to take him out and humiliate him further..."

"You can't do this to me!" Ryou protested but was quickly shut up by a slap in the face and brought up by his uncle when he pulled him to his feet making him look at himself in the mirror he tried to turn his face away but his uncle made him look as he tried to squirm away form them both although to no avail. They drug him out of the bedroom and practically threw him downstairs and back into the living room with everyone else he almost wanted to cry but wouldn't allow himself as everyone laughed and harassed him like he was happy with what they had done to him.

"He does make for a very impressive daughter doesn't he?" Charles friend said as he watched Ryou stumble with his actions as he tried to keep the others from laying their hands on him.

"A more impressive daughter, than he ever made as Yaten's son. It would have made Cecilia happier, she had always wanted a daughter anyhow, it's only a shame she can't see how beautiful her little 'daughter' has become. Isn't that right Ryou? Aren't you just the most beautiful young woman there ever was?" Charles said snickering as Ryou yelped at a slap in the ass by one of the more drunk of his friends. "I know, we need some pictures for this special occasion." he said digging through the nearby desk and emerging with a camera. "Smile little woman."

Ryou glared at his uncle before he was brought into a rough kiss by the man who helped dress him. "You enjoy pleasing other men don't you?" He said as he shoved Ryou to the couch being grabbed by another man and the same thing happening. He was tossed about the room being passed on like some chain letter, each one laying their abuse on him thicker and more physical until he had tears streaming down his face.

"Stop it!" He pleaded as he fought with one of the men who was currently running his hands up and down Ryou's legs and kissing his neck. "Onegai..." he said looking at his uncle in desperation to make them stop.

Charles chuckled, sitting back and stretching, drinking a bit. "You want to love men? Here you are, here is your men. Be as gay as you want, they're all yours. All the MAN you can handle." He said amused, knowing that Ryou hated every moment of this. "You chose to be gay and look like a girl. Now you get a chance to see exactly what a girl lives like, and exactly what men are like. I hate fags, and you're the worst sort of fag alive, and what makes it even worse is I'm RELATED to you." Charles said yawning and watching, making sure things didn't get too rough, but really he was just making sure Ryou was having the most miserable and horrifying time of his life. Hopefully this would scare him straight.

Thankfully, none of them went too far, anytime one of them got too close Charles would stop them, but his perception of closeness was fading with each drink he had. Nevertheless, he still stayed awake enough to make sure he was being humiliated and not raped during the process. The friend who had helped him do this wasn't drinking though he just sat back and watched as he was thrown around making Ryou increasingly nervous with each one of the men who eventually passed out. 'Please, just let me make it through the night' Ryou thought if he was finally able to go up to his room he would be able to escape all this, he wasn't sure where he would go but it anywhere would be much better than this

Charles yawned as the night's hours passed; it was nearly one before he decided to begin breaking up the party. "Ryou, clean up this mess, do the dishes vacuum and then you can go to bed, if I think you did a good enough job." He said gruffly, partially from alcohol and fatigue. "C'mon guys, you can come back again later. It's late and I'm sure those of us with wives need to get home and those of us without need to find some." He chuckled as he began helping the other men to their feet and bidding his farewells.

: Ryou was shoved violently to the floor as he picked himself up as quickly as he could and went into the kitchen away from all of the other's, slightly relived that he could escape for at least a little while. Before he could start any of his chores, his Uncles friend grabbed him by the arm.

"You were lucky this time kid, but next time I'll be sure to teach you exactly what pleasing men is all about." He said bringing Ryou into a bruising kiss before letting him go and leaving himself. Ryou covered his mouth and shook his head. He wanted so badly to drink something to get the taste of cheep beer out of his mouth but his uncle wouldn't let him have anything as he slowly began to do the dishes. Shortly after everyone had left, Ryou was cleaning up the living room.

"Sir...may I please change out of this dress?" He dared to ask.

Charles smirked. "No, I took the liberty while you were doing the dishes, to remove your clothes from your room. As long as you're a fucking gay ass little fairy you're going to dress like a girl, until you realize that you are meant to be straight. Until you're 'cured' of this little mental illness that draws you to other men." he said locking the door and smirking at Ryou. "I've also put all the clothes my daughter left behind in your room. Anytime you feel you need to change, help yourself."

Charles took particular amusement at the look of sheer devastation that hit Ryou's expression like a brick. The pale teen looked like he'd heard the worst news of his life and also looked like he was about to start sobbing. "Hurry up and clean this mess, you aren't sleeping until it's clean. Don't bother trying to run away, the windows in your room are locked, and besides...unless you're willing to run off in women's clothing, you'll stay."

Ryou clenched his teeth too keep himself from screaming, he didn't care if he had to run away in girls clothing as long as he got away from this place...but it looked almost impossible he knew that his uncle had work in the morning but at night he would be stuck with him and with that one friend of his who seemed to have his mind set on raping him even. Ryou shook his head of that thought and continued to clean until his uncle finally got fed up with him and threw him in his room locking the door telling him not to try anything and he would unlock it in the morning. Ryou sighed sitting on his bed taking off the dress, shoes and damn hair fancies off as wrapping himself up in a sheet as he went to the closet searching through it finding only dresses and skirts, there were a few pairs of short's but they wouldn't be much better considering how short they were, they would only embarrass him more. He curled up in bed and allowed himself to fall asleep silently hoping tomorrow would be better for him.

Well I hope you liked chapter 8! See? Seto will stop being all cruel to them and will help them from time to time and I hope to make him and Malik friends again…possibly it'll be hard for Malik and the other's to like him again but he'll try and be nicer!
