Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Going Down? ❯ The last battle ( Chapter 5 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

Black bat-like wings. Thick muscled body covered with brown fur. Sharp clawed hands with nails like a talons. Black metal chains locked around both wrists and a brown leather-strap belt wrapped across the chest. A dark gray devil-like bone skull on it's left shoulder. Large canine fangs bared off in a scowl. And finally, a horned dino-skull cracked over a beastly face.

On top of all that, It was huge.

Yugi stared dumbfounded at the creature, his body shaking uncontrollably. All his earlier confident just dropped from the pit of his stomach and died. And all that's left is his childhood nightmares crawling back from their graves and kicking.

"Gaaah!" Yugi whimpered pitifully, tears streaming down his face, his knees buckling in fright.

He shakily held up his bow and arrow ready to attack anytime. It made him feel a little more in control. The cage sustaining the Borlog was also helpful. But something inside him tells him that it won’t be very soon.

The huge beast took no notice of the tiny boy. It just scanned over the land within its cage. It sniffed the air, calculating. Then it, to what Yugi thought, grinned with satisfaction and gripped its claws together, clenching its stomach like it’s in pain. Just when Yugi was about to think it had died, the Borlog's arms and chest starts to bulge out muscles and he sprung them out wide, letting a mighty roar.

The roar was so powerful that it literally shook the whole building. Yugi yelped as he was tossed up in the air and sprawled on the grass with his arrows spread out around him. He winced but gasped when he felt bits of metal flew near him. One lightly touched his cheek.

The Borlog is out of his cage.

Yugi quickly scrambled to his feet and struggled with his bow and arrow.

"C'mon, c'mon!" he hissed, trying to set the arrow with his shaking hands. "Dammit."

He tried to aim for the Borlong again and this time hoped to attack it now before it attack. The beast sensed no danger, too distracted with satisfaction with the new terrorty to claim. It extended its bat-like wings, spreading them out wide like shield and with one flap, he created a huge gust that blew Yugi off his feet once again.

"Argh!" Yugi grunted, annoyance replaced the earlier fear.

Getting up for the umpteenth time today, he aimed his bow and arrow with steady hands and released the arrow in the air. The sharp wooden arrow sped through the air perfectly, straight at the heart of the beast.

Yugi almost cheered just as the tip made contact but to his increasing frustration, the wooden stick bounced off the muscular chest as it it were a toothpick.

Yugi seethed in anger at his failed attempt of a surprised attack. The Borlog didn't even flinched by it or took any notice at all. And as if it were mocking him, it raised a large flowed finger and idly scratched the spot where the arrow bounced. That snapped Yugi's self control and now he's serious.

He was used to being bullied around at a young age and learned how to tolerate being embarrassed. But he's been pushed around too many times today and it's starting to take a toll of his patience. He always prided himself in winning any game, no matter the difficulties, he always that the challenge and triumphed.

So there is no way he'll lose to this over-grown hair bully. Oh no. To have his skill mocked was one thing, but he refused to lose. Not when the prize is big. He never lost yet and he'd be damned if that Borlog thinks so.
"You're gonna regret messing with me, punk." the young teen narrowed his eyes into slits, a deadly scowl on his child-like face.

With practiced movement, he swiftly pulled out three arrows from his back and quickly shot them at the Borlog again. This time he aimed the arrows at its head. An arrow missed but two were successful in grazing its cheeks and near the ear.

The Borlog roared out at the sharp pain and jerked its beastly head towards Yugi. No longer feared, violent amethyst eyes glared challengingly at it. The Borlog snorted loudly, expecting the small human to flinch. Yugi didn't, instead he held out his index, middle and thumb together and flicked it under his chin towards the Borlog.

It raised a brow, dumbfounded.

Jou's jaw dropped open in astonishment. "Holy shit! I can't- I can't believe he actually- Oh my god!" he sputtered out.

The others around him turned their questioning eyes towards the shocked blond host.

"Hey, Jou! Mind enlightening US just what the hell just happened?" Bakura snarled at him, annoyed.

The crowd nodded in agreement and turning to him for answers.

Jou blinked then coughed discreetly. "Oh! Uh, ahem, 'cuse me. For those who aren't familiar with the Italian sign language, that little hand movement Yugi had just did to the Borlog was a warning."

"Warning? What the hell?" Bakura demanded in confusion.

"In short, it means 'What the fuck'." the host explained, his voice held an Italian accent of a mafia guy.

They all nodded in comprehension. "Oh."

Yugi was satisfied that the monster understand it and smirked. And because the Borlog understood it that its now in rage. Blowing out more hot steam from its nostrils, he charged at Yugi. Seeing its frontal assault, Yugi was able to dodge it easily and just as the huge beast passed him, he swung his bow and struck it.

Though the blow was not strong enough to do any serious damage, it agitated the Borlog enough to make it charged at him again in blind rage. Easily expecting it, Yugi gracefully twirled out of its path and teased it by shooting two more arrows at its exposed backside.

The viewers laughed as the fearful beast cried out, holding its rump. Even Yugi chuckled. Blinded by rage, it continued to use the same tactic and missed each tackle. Even worst, Yugi had the upper hand in humiliating the monster. Another missed and another taunting whack with the bow. It's almost as comical as the bull with a red cape.

Its eyes were glowing red just as it was diving down again but suddenly its brain clicked just as Yugi twirled to grab his arrow and a snarling smirk peeked out it's large tooth. Just as it was about to pass the small boy, it held out an arm with claws flexed out right in at Yugi.

Too late to avoid it, the claws made contact and shred through Yugi's thin clothes, scratching his stomach. Yugi gasped as he got the wind knocked out of him. Sensing that dominance was in its grasp again, it tightened its claws in Yugi's stomach, making his cry out in pain and tossed his across the field.

Rolling through the dirt, Yugi finally reached a screeching halt about half a mile later. He clenched tightly to his abdomen in agony, pain surging through his tiny body. He coughed trying to breathe. The Borlog laughed out in echoing growls at him.

The laugh reached his ears and pushed him enough to open an eye and glared at the blurry brown form. "No. T-This isn't o-over yet." he hissed in pain as he try to stand up with effort.

From the far distance, it looked down at Yugi with a superior glace. Though his body was trembling with aftershock from the blow and his chest was heaving up and down for air, Yugi held his glare. And again, held up a shaky hand to flick off the beast.

Obviously not entertained by his boldness, the Borlog spread open its wings again and once again went airborne. From the air, it opened its mouth and braced out its body. Yugi watch in anticipation of what the attack might be. He squinted his eyes when he spotted a spark of black energy. Soon it grew rapidly into a ball the represented the black hole.

Before he could watch think about what to do about it, the Borlog launched the sphere of doom at him. It shot out fast, crinkling sounds of snapping energy as it closed in on Yugi.

"Run Yugi! Get away from it!" Jou bellowed out.

From the urgency in his voice, Yugi quickly ducked to the ground, covering his head. He felt the electrical whoosh as it passed by, small black sparks touched his skin with a zap. He cautiously opened his eyes to see the damage. Turning around, he was relieved to be on the ground, because if he looked at the site while standing, he would just fall down to his knees anyway.

The whole vegetation that was green and lively was now blacken and charred with demolition. All the trees are now nothing but black burnt twigs. Even the once luscious grass is smoking with smoke, along with the dirt and gravel. All burnt to a crisp.

'To think, that could’ve been me if I didn't ducked.' Yugi thought, a shiver of fear shook his body. He turn back to the snickering Borlog and knew he couldn't hide the small hint on fear in his eyes. And the damned monster knew it too. 'NO. I won't let that damn punk win!'

Turning away from the Borlog to think up some more strategies, he took a small step and felt the toe of his shoe tapped on something. He looked down to see a small glass vile. Gingerly, he picked in up and held it up against his eyes to see its filled with green liquid and a shadowed figure inside the bottle.

He couldn't make out the figure but staring at it for a few second his eyes widen and a tiny grin formed on his face.

"Yes." he knew what to do. "Time for round two."

With confidence, he starts to walk towards his enemy, struggling a little with a limp. The Borlog see no threat in him. Yugi tightened the small vile in his hand.

'I hope this is what I think it is.' he pleaded as he picked up his speed and was running towards the beast.

Amused, the Brolog stood his ground and didn't try to block any attack Yugi plans to do. And that was its down fall.

Just a few feet away from his target now, Yugi didn't slowed down his pace as he tossed out the vile right in front of the Borlog's face. And just as the glass float down at the exact spot, Yugi pulled out an arrow and quickly shot it at the vile.

Time seemed to slowed in Yugi's eyes as he prayed with all his might that the arrow would his its target. The tip tapped the center of the glass vile. The point of where the two met started to crumble and in no time, the glass shattered. Splashing the green liquid and glass shards into the Borlog's face.
The glass pieces stuck on it's beastly face, smaller shards went into its eyes. The green liquid touched the face and burned it like acid. The Borlog screamed and howled out a agonizing sound, blindly clawing its face from the burring pain.

Yugi was still charging right at it, picking up his speed more when his surprised attack was successful. He pulled back his clawed fist and just when he's a feet away, he jumped and tackled the Borlog with all his might, grinding the sharp, Thief's Claw through its guts.

It screamed again. Because the poison has blinded him, it could not make out where Yugi is. And instanced took over, forcing his to go wild and rampaged in fury. It tried to shake Yugi off, but Yugi wouldn't let go and continued to drive the claw deeper.

After what felt like an eternity of hell, The Borlog was able to shake Yugi off to the direction of the forest decay. It did not charge to an attack on Yugi as it tried to tend to its own wounds.

Yugi painfully sat up and knows this is his only chance to finish it off now. He looked down at his hand where the claw used to be but now is gone. it is implanted into the Borlogs stomach and its blood that leaked though the claw still stained his hand.

He looked over his should to see that he had used up all of his arrows and he had dropped the bow when he tackled the Borlog. He frantically search for a weapon. He jumped when he heard the blind beast's roar in rage. He dared looked over his shoulder to see the monster glowing with energy. It was MAD.

Yugi continue on his search for a weapon and finally landed on a long, black-charred stick. Not caring about the consequences, he snatched up the stick and held in ready for attack.

"This is it." he muttered to himself, sweat dripping down his back. Tightening his fingers on the wood, he prayed with all his might into the weapon to vanquish the enemy once and for all. "Please."

Facing off with the Borlog for the final showdown. Though it is blind with the poison in effect, the Borlog isn't going to die unless he dragged Yugi with him. Yugi narrowed his eyes as he glared the huge beast. The tension in the air filled the whole arena. Everyone is holding their breathes. No one makes a sound.

They charged.

"GGGRRROOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLGGGGHHHH" the Borlog roared, charging straight at Yugi.

"AAAHHHH!" Yugi followed in suit with the stick in tow. "DIE!"

They took off with boosted speed, their sights not leaving their targets. Once in range, the monster was the first to strike, slashing out it's huge bear-claws. Yugi swung the stick to block the hand. Their arms shook as they try to match in strength.

Yugi growled as he struggle to push with both arms. He swore when he spotted the black bark of the stick flaking off. Fearing that the twig will snap, he gave one last pray.

'Please. Let me win.' he prayed silently. A chunk of the wood snapped off.

"No!" he gasped.

Suddenly a brilliant light shined through the crack. Yugi blinked and squinted his eyes as the light glowed brighter. The Borlog couldn't see the magnificent light but his arms suddenly felt as if it's been burnt with the flames of hell. It cried out in pain and jerked back.

Yugi pulled back took and stared at the wooden stick that's slowly blooming into a shiny golden staff with a black pearl perched at the tip. It was beautiful. It was powerful. It was just what he needed.
An evil smirk spread on his face again as he turned his wicked eyes to the oblivious Borlog.

"What does the barrel say to the guy?" he asked softly.

"Grugh?" Was it's final answer.

"Wrong." holding up the like a shot gum, he pulled the trigger. "Bang."

In command, the black pearl shot out of the staff like a bullet, driving itself into the heart of the Borlog. One second it lodged within the beast. Two seconds a black hole grew from his chest and sucked him in. Three seconds it disappeared with a great explosion.

A moment of silence. Then Yugi dropped down to his knees, totally exhausted. He could barely keep his eyes open but caught the sight of a black marble casually rolling towards him and stopped right next to his palm. Gingerly, he picked up the ball with two finger and looked at it.

He thrust his arm in the air.

Jou stared for another second before picking up his jaw with a wide grin. "AND HE DID IT! YUGI HAS DEFEATED THE BORLOG!!" he screamed out happily to the mike, jumping for joy.

The audience roared with cheers and praises as they watch the face of the winner. Even Bakura, Marik and Malik applauded to the small teens impressive victory.

"Now that you have collect all the 10 marbles, it's time to get your final score. Bakura, what did you gave Yugi for INTELLIGENCE?" he asked, turning attentions to the white-haired demon thief.

Said person made a show of deep consideration, folding his arms and cupped his chin. "Hmm. He was a little sloppy when he was handling the weapons, like the claw-" "You were the one that didn't explained earlier!" "-But, I will admit the 'anger-bull-with-red-cape trick' was very smart and entertaining. I give a 10/10." he announced, holding up a score card with a bold 10.

"Excellent! Next, Marlik, what did you gave Yugi for DEXTERITY?"

The blond in the lion suit had just got the ropes untangled started as all eyes were on him. He straighten out his fur and corrected himself, looking very dignified despite his embarrassing attire. "For Yugi's lack of poise in the earlier parts of the battle, he makes it up with his quick moves of instincts. So I give him a 10/10." he flashed out a 10 with a grin.

"And finally, Marik! STRENGTH results? MARIK!"

The more insane blond was lost in his own little world when he heard his name being called. He blinked and stared at the audience, who in turn stared at him. He continue to stare. They stared back. He's not moving. And the audience are almost suffocation from holding their breaths on suspense.

Just then, Bakura did the please of tossing a nut out of no where that hit squarely at the wild blond, knocking him out of his stare.

"Ow! Hey, what's that for, bastard?!" he growled at the tan albino.
"Tell you score, stupid." he rolled his eyes, toying his pocket knife.

"Oh. Ok." and he pulled out a.....1.

WTFH?!

And added a 0 next to it.
Oooh.

"Ha ha, gotcha, didn't I?" he laughed at the camera. "And they call me stupid. Ow!"

"And there you have it folks! WITH THE FINALLY SCORES FROM THE JUDGES, YUGI IS THE WINNER!!" Cheers exploded everywhere from where a television might be.

Yugi was just relieved that it was over. After a few minutes to catch his breath, he slowly got to his feet just as Jou was lowered down from a cherry picker.

"CONGRATULATIONS YUGI! YOU HAVE WON THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!!!" he cheered at the boy, swinging a friendly arm around the tired boy. "How do you feel?"

Yugi caught hold of one Jou's lapel and was supporting himself with it. He looked up at the smiling blond. He gave a weak smile. "Pain."

Jou just laughed it off, patting the boy on the back. He pulled Yugi closer to him to hold him up and faced the camera. "There you have it, folks. Modest and honest to the end! Let's give it up one last time for YUGI!!"

They cheered again as the cameras switched to the end credits. Yugi was still feeling a little disoriented and stared down at his small bags of marbles. Jou leaned near his ear and spoke softly away from the mike.

"Go through the door to your right and face the King." he whispered. Yugi widen his eyes. "Defeat him and save your friend. Good luck."

Before Yugi could say anything, Jou firmly pushed him to the direction to the door. Yugi stumbled a little and looked back to Jou. The blond gave him a goofy grin and a thumbs up.

Yugi smiled back, feeling more confident than ever. He pushed open the doors and entered, not frighten as the door closed after him.

He is in a room. The floor is carpeted with dark red rugs, crimson velvets hung decoratively on the walks. The teen gapped at the exotic decor and snapped his head around when a ray of light flicked on. Yugi followed the light to see a plat poker table with two chairs that were hidden in the shadows. One chair was occupied.

The person seated on the chair had his face lowered so his face was still hidden under his hair. But Yugi didn't need to see his face to quickly recognize who it was. His breath hitched as he could not believe what he was seeing. Or Who.

"I am very pleased to see you make it this far, Yugi." the same low, velvet voice that he heard through the phone spoke. It still sent shivers to his spine. "I didn't doubt it for a second."

Yugi's mind is in turmoil, torn between righteously demanding for Yugi or praising the person in admiration. His opened and closed his mouth, attempting to speak.

"Uh, uh, Y-You, I mean, y-you're..." he stumbled for the right words, pointing a shaky accusing finger at the older teen. "him!"

Yami was amused by his shocked reaction and thought how adorable and innocent he looked. Like a kid meeting with a super hero. His red eyes gleam with anticipation.

"Yes?" he urged playfully for him to continue.

It took a few seconds for Yugi to register the teasing note in the other's voice and flushed a deep red. "The KING OF GAMES." he replied breathlessly. "You're him."

Yami smiled in satisfaction, making Yugi's heart jumped. "So you have heard of me. I'm deeply flattered."

Yugi felt himself turn red again. He glared at him.

Yami was unaffected, raising a hand towards the chair across from his. "Please, have a seat."

Hesitating, he try to see any traps. When he found none he could think about, he slowly walk to the chair, his eyes never left Yami. He sat.

"Would you like anything to drink?" Yami asked, like a nice host.

As much as Yugi is in a rush to leave with Ryou, the walls of his throat is scratching against each other is getting painful.

"Water please." he nodded.

In seconds, Yami magically pulled out a cool glass of cold water and placed before him. "There you are."

"Thank you." Yugi automatically thanked, sipping cautiously at the refreshing water.

His insides were feeling all jittery from the way Yami's blood red eyes are following him. The gleam in his eyes reminded him of a happy hunter eyeing his toy.

Yugi cleared his throat and decides to get down to business. Remembering the bag of marbles and tossed them on the table. "Here. I've done your quest, now give me back Ryou!" he demanded.

Patiently, the older teen picked up the bag and carefully pour out the contents on the table. He smiled with satisfaction then pushed a button under the table. The small, golf-ball size ring in the center of the table suddenly popped up and a lifted a tunnel underneath.

Yugi watched in fascination as Yami pushed the marbles, one at a time into the hole. They went in like golf balls. When all the marbles are in, he pushed the top down, smoothing out the table again. Just then, a another secret compartment popped up next to Yami's hand.

It was a deck of cards.

Yugi blinked.

Yami picked up the deck and stars to shuffle it.

"For this last an final game, we will test your skill in LUCK."

"Luck?" he repeated with doubt in his voice.

"He nodded. "It will be fair with no clear cheating." he explained, flipping the cards through his elegant fingers. "We will let fate guide out victory."

Yugi gulped in panic. This is a gamble, the probability of his actually winning is an even fifty-fifty chance. There are no strategies or techniques that could get him a clear advantage of the outcome.

Yami could see all he's feeling from his wide amethyst eyes. They were like a mirror into his soul.

To give him a little less tension, he passed the deck to the boy. "If it makes you feel better, you can shuffle the deck so I'm not cheating." he smiled reassuringly.

Innocent eyes looked at the deck to the face then back at the deck. Slowly he picked up the deck, his fingers lightly brushing against his. Yugi blushed and grabbed the deck in a haste. He concentrated on shuffling the cards and avoid Yami's eyes.

When he's satisfied with it, he passed it back to Yami.

"The game will be Black Jack. Simple Twenty-one. Best out of five." he shuffled the cards skillfully like a professional dealer. Bending it so that it shoots from one hand to the other in an artful arch. "Any questions?"

Intimidated by the confidence radiant from his profile, Yugi shut his eyes and closed his hand around the glass. After a moment of consolation with himself, he snapped open his eyes and drank the rest of the water in one gulp. He slammed down his glass with a soft 'thud'.

"I'm ready." he announced, his voice clear, eyes shine with challenge.

Amused ruby eyes followed the trickle of water down his jaw and smiled again. "Good. Let's begin."

Quick and skilled, he passed out the first hand. A pair for each.

They slide their cards together, flipping the corner of their cards then pressed it back face down. Their eyes locked to one another.

"Hit?" Yami asked politely, not taking his eyes off him.

"Yes, please." Yugi replied, equally polite, his eyes never leaving Yami's.

A hand reached towards the deck and flipped open the first cards on top. It was a five of hearts.

"Will that be all?"

He nodded.

"Then show you hand."

Yami flipped his cards to reveal a nine of diamonds and a Jack of clubs. 19. Yugi had a queen of diamonds and a five of diamonds with the five of hearts. 20.

Yugi's win.

Yugi allowed a short sigh of relief at the small victory. He looked across the table to see Yami unfazed, instead almost expecting his win.

Pushing aside the used cards, he passed out the deck again.

Yugi won again with an eight of hearts, eight of clubs and a four of spade. 20. Yami had another 19 with a three of diamonds, six of clubs and a queen of spade.

"Things are starting to look bright for you, isn't it, Yugi?" he commented casually. His tone was calm and light but Yugi felt a strange warmth when he said his name.

"Y-yes." he agreed and grinned playfully. "If this keeps up, I'll win easily."

Yami chuckled and passed out the next cards.
"I wouldn't want that to happen now, would I?" he smiled, taking another card. With even glancing at the card, his smile widen, brightening up his handsome face. "And I believe that your luck has ran out."

Yugi blinked and opened his mouth to ask what he meant but lifted it hanging when his eyes saw Yami's cards. He fanned it out neatly so he could see each card clearly.

Five of spade, seven of hearts, and eight of spade.

A perfect 21.

Yugi felt the cards spilled from his fingers as he stared, dumbfounded. Yami casually and pushed at hs fallen pile.

"Looks like you have a four, three, two and five. That makes nineteen." he made a tut sound and shook his head. "Too low. Guess that makes my win."

At his soft laughter, Yugi shook himself to clear his head.

"Beginner's luck." he muttered under his breath, pushing his cards at the discarded pile.

Yami's smile became feral for hearing the little comment. "Whatever you say."

Passing out the next set of cards, he drew a third card and instantly spread out his three cards just as Yugi picked up his forth. It was a nine of spade, a nine of hearts, and a three of hearts.

Another 21.

"My win again." Yami smirked at Yugi's jaw-dropping expression. He inwardly debated whether or not he should lean forward and help close his mouth, but decided not to. "Looks like were at the crossroads of who will win."

Yugi gulped audible and took a deep calming breath.

"Ready?"

He nodded.

Yami passed what's left of the deck to him. Yugi picked up the deck and shuffled it and passed it back to Yami. Yami picked up the deck and copied Yugi's action, placing the deck in the center. Yugi reached out and cut the stack and set them back.

Now for the moment of truth.

The cards are passed and is faced down before the two.

They laid their hands on top of it. Looking up at each others eyes again, they silently signal when to open their cards.

1.

2.

3.

They look down.

Yami has a A of hearts and a King of spade.

Yugi has a A of spade and a King of hearts.

Both blinked, look at each other, back down at the cards again.

After a few seconds, a soft snort escaped from Yugi and soon he was in a fit of giggles. Even Yami chuckled behind his hand.

"Looks like this it's a draw." Yugi stated once he's calmed down.

"So it seems." Yami agreed, then added. "And what a coincidence that I have a tie-breaker for such occasion."

Yugi was both surprised and impressed with his quick thinking. 'Well, he IS called the King of Games for a reason.' he thought admiringly.

"That is," Yami drawled out slyly. "If you are willing to continue?"

Always ready to take up the challenge, Yugi nodded. "Bring it on."

Liking the small teen more by the minute, Yami pulled out another deck that looks similar to the first one. Yugi's eyes widen as he watch the older teen spread the second deck with the first and mixed them together. A warming bell rang in the back of his head but Yugi brushed it off as anxiety.

Yami collected all the cards together into a 104 cards deck.

"This is the last game. If you win, Ryou will be free. But if you lose," he drawled the last words, slowly smirking at Yugi with mischievous eyes. "there will be a punishment."

Yugi blinked. "P-punishment?"

"Yes."

He gulped. "W-what's the punishment?"

Yami's grin reached his eyes, making Yugi pictured a royal Egyptian cat. "Oh, I can't tell you that. At least, not yet."

Yugi didn't like the coldness in his stomach at the comment but forced his hands to stay stead. "What's the game?" he said, changing the subject.

"Oh, it's very simple. We'll just be playing poker." he eyed the young teen in front of him as he stiffened. "You do know how to play, correct?"

Yugi nod his head stiffly.

"Perfect."

It begins.

The game is five card draw.

Yugi held his breath as he picked up his five-card pile and check out his hand.

'Let's see, what do I have.' he thought to himself as he read out his cards. 'A King of diamonds, a Queen of diamond, a Jack of diamonds, and a ten of diamonds. Yes! What a great hand!' a happy grin spread across his face as he takes in with each card. 'All I need is the ace of diamonds and I'll win!'

He flipped the last card and felt the air flew out of his body. He dropped his head on the table, animatedly. Building up so much excitement and anticipation just to find a two of spade.

Yami looked up from his cards when he heard Yugi.

"Are you alright?" he asked, concern.

Yugi snapped his head back up and let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the small red spot on his forehead. "Y-yeah, I'm fine!" 'My fault for being so foolish to expect a great deal at the first hand.'

Yami nodded and then set his cards down.

"This is the time to draw." he announced. "How many cards will you trade?"

"One!" Yugi blurted out then blushed for shouting. "I mean, one please."

He pushed aside the useless card and saw with surprised, Yami tossing one too.

'He must've gotten a good deal too.' he thought. 'But I know I'll have to do better. For Ryou.'

He looked up at Yami, silently asking him who'll draw first. Yami, acting as the gracious host held up a hand. "You may draw first."

Yugi bit his lower lip and steadily reach out to the deck. Yugi had did the math in his head. They started out with two decks, making that a total of 104 cards. Taking away the number of cards for our hand, that leave 94 cards in the deck. Yugi needs a ace of diamonds and there are two in the deck. The probability of him picking out that particular card is 0.0212765957. A sad 2% percent.

Things are not looking good. 'But it's better than one percent!' he thought and snatched the first card from the deck. Praying on his 'Heart of the Cards' belief.

With his eyes closed, he held his breath again and forced himself to look at the card.

It's a...

It's a...

It's a...

.....ACE OF DIAMONDS!

Yugi felt his eyes widening three times its original size and did not care if he looks suspicious or ridiculous because he never felt so glad of his luck more than that moment.

"YES!" he cheered out with glee.

"Sound like you got a winning hand." Yami said with amusement.

That didn't damped his victorious feeling at all.

"Maybe I do." he joked back.

Yugi was so caught up in his celebration that he took no notice of Yami drawing his own card.
"Show your hand."

Yugi was more than happy to show him. With a swipe of a hand, he spread his cards, evenly parted in front of him. "There you have it. A straight flush."

Yami didn't comment, just raised his brows in surprise. His expression made Yugi grinned wider. When Yami pulled out of his daze, he look at Yugi with an emotionless face.

"Wow, Yugi. That is a very impressive hand. That is a very hard hand to beat." he said in a solemn tone.

Yugi just continue to grin and leaned back with his hands behind his head. "What can I say, I'm just lucky that way, I guess." he said in a giddy tone.

Yami nod seriously but when he looked up, his ruby eyes gleamed, a wicked smirk forming on his lips.

"BUT," he paused long enough that the humor faded from Yugi's face and fear slowly creped back. "I think I'll give it a try."

He laid his cards down with one swipe like Yugi, showing his cards in order. What Yugi saw made his eyes bulge out and nearly tipped over his stool. He quickly caught the edge of the table in a desperate hold.

"This...This can't be, no! How? How could you get a..." he couldn't finish the question.

"ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH." Yami finished for him, leaning back on his chair in the safe fashion Yugi was in earlier.

"How?" Yugi begged weakly.

Yami just gave him a mysterious smile. "Like they say, I'm the King of Games. Luck is always on my side."

Yugi couldn't respond to that as his mind was spinning in choas.

"I would promise the punishment won't that bad, but I can't be so certain."

Then his vision turned black and his mind went blank.

"Yugi. Yugi."

Awaken by a soft angelic voice, Yugi stirred, his eyes still closed. Then a feather like touch brushed against his cheeks. It tickled against his flesh and as the tip continue to tease him, he let out a tired moan.

"Wake up, Yugi." the voice spoke again, a faint hint of a British accept.

Still half-asleep, Yugi pulled over the thin sheet over his head in a weak attempt to shield away the feathery attack. "Mm. Five more minutes, Ryou." he murmured from under the sheets.

Grumbling to himself, he snuggled deeper into the warm sheets and let out a content sigh as he slowly drifted back to dream land. Just as he was on the edge of unconsciousness, his amethyst snapped open and he sat up abruptly.

"RYOU!!" he shouted, his mouth dropped open and his eyes wide with astoundment. "RYOU?!"

Sitting right in front of him is his snow-haired friend. He doesn't look roughed up, more like freshly showered and donned on a loose white night shirt. His face is masked with concern.
"Yugi? Are you alright?" he asked, worried. "Do I need to call a doctor?"

Yugi ignored the question and stared blankly at the albino boy, blinking owlishly a couple times. Then slowly he raised his hands up and patted on Ryou's cheeks lightly, like a child.

"Ryou? Is that really you?" he demanded in a frighten tone.

Surprised by his small voice, Ryou laughed and took hold on his little hands. "Yes, Yugi, I assure you it is I."

Hearing that, Yugi launched himself to the surprised teen and hugged him tightly. "Oh my god! Ryou! I'm so happy you're safe! They didn't hurt you did they?!" he gasped in horror.

"No, no, no." he shook his head, holding up his hands. "I'm not hurt. Don't worry, Yugi."

Just as Yugi opened his mouth to ask why, a knock from the door grabbed their attention.

"Hey, Ryou, is he awake yet?" a muffled voice said from behind the door. Then the knob turned and the door open to reveal a curiously looking blond. A familiar one too.

"Malik?!" Yugi gasped, his eyes dashing from the blond Egyptian to the British. "W-what are you doing here?"

"He haven’t told you yet?" the blond asked.

"Tell me what?"

Malik shared an amused look with Ryou who grinned in response. Yugi was about to ask again but the demand caught in his throat when a few more head popped from the door. Marik, Bakura and Yami appeared casually from the door and scan the room. "He awake yet?"

When he finally found his voice, Yugi demanded loudly, "What the heck is going on here?!"

All eyes from the room turned to stare at him then moved to Ryou in an accusing way. He smiled brightly at his friend.

"I'm sorry, Yugi , but I'll admit it. I was the one who set this whole game up." he confessed.

"W-what?! But why, Ryou?!" he backed away from is a little.

"Because. You. Made. Me. Wore. A. DRESS." he said flatly, that made Yugi blinked in surprise.

"That's it?" Yugi tilted his head innocently, not understanding.

That's when the others with the exception to Yugi, took a defensive stance as Ryou glowed a dark aura.

"That's it?! HOW COULD YOU ASK ME THAT?! YOU TRY WALKING IN THE MALL WITH BLOODY WANKERS MAKING A GRAB TO YOU EVERY FIVE SECONDS!!" he exploded, the force sent Yugi falling back on the bed. But Ryou was just getting started. "It was so HUMILIATING! I have my pride, Yugi! Male pride! You couldn't comprehend that embarrassment I had to faced through to buy all those GOD FORSAKEN TOYS! But there is one thing I would like to know, Yugi."

"Heh?"

"Why?" he said it softly, the raised his voice. "WHY is Ra's name did you asked for them!!"

Every person turned their eyes to the small boy under the sheets. The question has been the only thing that did not make sense, even after meeting the young teen. He does not look to have gone past puberty yet to even be considered a closet pervert.

"Well, it's because..." he started to explain, scratching his head. "It started out when I was looking through the mail one day and I found his magazine. There was a lot of flashy picture of different stuff and a whole bunch of coupons. It seemed like a good deal to me. I couldn't by them cause I know grandpa was complaining to me for spending on monster cards so I planned to make Ryou buy them for me."

They all were staring at him, jaws dropped, speechless. Malik was the first to find his voice.

"Yugi, did you even know what the stuffs were?" he asked.

Yugi shook his head. "Nope. But the ad says that it have 'Large sizes with fruity flavor for the taste of heaven'." he repeated one quote. "So I thought it might be some kind of candy."

Ryou bowed down his head. Malik was holding his mouth, his shoulders shaking. Yami, Bakura and Marik just shook their heads with amused grins on their faces.

"Yugi, those weren't candy." Ryou said slowly, looking at his innocent friend.

"They weren't?"

"No. They were..." Ryou cut off, not having the will power to continue.

Yugi pouted, his interest has been caught. "Tell me. Tell me, Ryou." he demanded but Ryou just waved it aside.

"Anyways, " he switched topic. "How are you feeling, Yugi."

Yugi frowned, still wanting to know what they are but blinked and look down at his body. "I'm okay."

"Oh, that's good." Ryou said in relief.

"Ryou?"

"Hm?"

"Where's my clothes?" he asked.

"They're in the wash." Malik answered from the side of the bed.

"Oh." Yugi said, suddenly conscious that he was the only naked person in the room. "Well, can I at least wear my underwear?"

"Um, that the thing, Yugi," Ryou laughed sheepishly. "They have a rule here. No, ahem, underwear allowed."

"Hell yeah!" Bakura, Malik and Marik shouted together.

The small teen blinked again. "Really? Well, can I at least borrow some clothes, please?"

Ryou tilted his head curiously. “We could. But...”

He paused to lean in close. Before Yugi could register what he might do, he felt a pair of lips over his. His eyes widen. The lips pushed against his, causing him to gasp when a wet tongue traced the corner of his mouth.

“There’s no point if they’ll be off you in a few seconds anyway.” the albino boy said against his lips.

“Ryou?” Yugi squeaked uncertainly.

He gasped again when Ryou suddenly literally pounced on him, pinning him in the mattress and holding down from below his waist. The tongue slipped past his lips, skillfully taking control and tasting the other tongue. The smaller body starts to thrash under the pale body but to no avail.

When Ryou pulled back, Yugi was already breathless, his face flushed and dazed.

“Ryou? What? What are you doing?” Yugi try to demand but it came out more of a plea.

Above him, the young British just smirked. “Have you forgotten, Yugi? It’s time for your punishment.”

He snapped his finger and Malik appeared above him, smiling down at the bemused teen. Slipping behind Yugi, he took hold of his thin arms and pulled him against his lean chest.

“Hello, Yugi.” the platinum blond smiled friendly at him.

“Malik?” he blinked then let out a cry when two fingers rolled over his bare chest. “Ah!”

“Pay attention, Yugi.” Ryou commanded, forcing his gaze back at him. “You were curious about these little toys, right? But you don’t know how to play, so I’ll teach you.”

Before Yugi could speak, Ryou covered his mouth again and continue to cloud his mind with the kiss. Malik continue to play with the small boy’s chest, tweaking the tiny buds until they were hard. Yugi responded to every little touch. Sensations jolted through him like an electrical shock and he has no idea why, but he likes it.

Outside the bed, the three males sat back to watch the two ukes have their fun with the boy. They made themselves comfortable on the chairs, their eyes never leaving the body as they watch the show.

“Marik, you got the camera?” Bakura whispered over to the blond.

The Egyptian nodded, holding up a digital camera. He was focusing on the bed, trying to keep the image clear as possible, zooming in on any intimate moments.

“This is going to be hot.” he grinned wickedly when the small boy cried out passionately again.

Bakura agreed. Keeping his eyes on the bed, he leaned his head over a little to whisper, “What do you say, Yami?”

The Master of Games didn’t respond. A little confused, the two took their eyes off the hot scene to look at their friend. Yami was lost in his own thoughts. His dark eyes are focused intensely on Yugi’s face, not daring to even blink. His expression was hard and ravenous. He unconsciously licked his lips when Yugi thrashed his little body, the thin sheet slipped off his to reveal his bare skin.

Bakura and Marik looked at each other before a knowing smirk came to their faces. They recognized the look and believed that their cold friend has finally hit on it.

Back in the bed, Ryou finally release Yugi’s bruised lips, trailing little licks and kisses down his throat and collar bone. Suddenly, he crawled off of him to yank off the sheet, so Yugi’s nudity is exposed. Eyes scanned over the virgin body, taking in at every curve and skin.

Yugi gasped and try to cover his front with his arms, only to have Malik pulled them away.

“Don’t worry, my friend.” the Angel purred seductively. “We’ll make it good. Won’t we, Malik?”

“But of course.” he promised. “It wouldn’t be enjoyable if it wasn’t.”

“I-I don’t u-understand.” Yugi shook his head, tears brimming his eyes.

Ryou’s face soften and he leaned down again, this time kissing his tenderly. “Relax, Yugi. It’s just a little learning experience. We’re going to teach you about sex toys.”

“Sex toys?” yugi repeated. Though he’s a little frighten with his side of Ryou, he can’t help but be a little curious.

The two nodded and Malik pulled out a familiar pink shopping bag from the side of the bed. He Spilled the contents on the bed, letting Yugi see clearly what they are. He quickly recognized the colorful items from the magazine.

He watched as Ryou picked up a chain connected to some velcro straps. With Malik’s assistance, they were able to secure the tough but soft brace around Yugi’s wrists so his arms are spread wide open on the bed.

Checking to see that he couldn’t break out of it, he nod in satisfaction and went to pick up the next item. He held up a pretty golden ring no bigger than a large hoop earring.

“This, Yugi, is a ‘cock ring’.”

Yugi tilted his head, not understanding the word ‘cock’. He let out a high “eep!” when he felt cool hands touching his private parts and something that felt almost like a band on him.

“No. What is it?” he said, lifting his head to see the gold ring on the base of his soft member.

Ryou just gave him an angelic smile. “Oh, you’ll find out later.”

The small duelist was consciously aware that Ryou’s hand was still touching him. For some strange reason, he could feel his body reacting to the touch. His stomach starts to warm up and when the tip of his finger brushed against him, a shiver went through.

He gasped and moaned.

Ryou blinked and look down to see evidence of Yugi’s slow arousal. The smirk appeared again and he looked at Malik who became aware of this predicament.

“What’s the matter, Yugi?” Ryou asked innocently, deliberately sliding his finger around Yugi’s inner thigh, causing another shiver. “Are you feeling good?”

This time Ryou stop teasing and wrapped his fingers around Yugi’s soft length, bringing him to a slow jerking motion. Yugi cried out and the heat in his stomach burned hotter. The blood starts pumping through his body now, his small pecker in now hard.

Following Ryou’s move, Malik moved to the side and starts attacking the perk nubs on his chest. He took one nipple in his mouth, swirling with his tongue and suckle on it while his hand is paying much attention on the other. Soon he took the num between his teeth and yank lightly. Yugi arched up a beautiful angle.

“Sensitive, are we?” he giggled against his skin, moving his mouth to the next pub and gave it the same treatment.
Yugi’s body is sheen with sweat, pink in the face and parts of his body that was abused, his breathing coming out in short pants. He closed his eyes and tossed around his head at the overwhelming emotions he’s feeling.

“Oh. Ooh. Ryou.” he panted, his voice held a hint of desperation. “I feel so strange.”

Ryou just grinned at him, his hand that’s pumping Yugi is soaked with fluid leaking of Yugi’s tip. He stopped his motion, to Yugi’s disappointment, and brought the used hand against his mouth. Slowly and tantalizing, he ran his tongue along his lingers, tasting the essence of the boy.

The sultry taste fueled his desire more and he wanted more. He brought a finger in his mouth and slowly sucked on it, moaning aloud. He was very aware of Yugi watch and how uncomfortable he is feeling now. He is rubbing his knees together and tried to pull then up to his twitching arousal.

“What’s the matter, Yugi? You look a little tense.” he teased, his doe brown eyes on the prize. “Maybe I can help you relax.”

His hand reached to the buttons on his shirt and in no time, tossed the light garment aside. Yugi had expected for the other boy to touch him like he had before but was surprised when he placed himself between his legs, making it impossible for him to close it.

Wide uncertain amethyst meet with playful brown eyes.

“Scream for me.” Ryou mouthed before lowering his head right in front of his hard on.

Slowly but roughly, he licked him, running his tongue hard against the organ. Just as he commanded, Yugi tossed his head back and gave a shout of shock and pleasure. Satisfied with his control, Ryou kissed the flesh, making out with it from the base to the tip. He teased the slit, licking the little dollop of cum that formed.

His hand continues to pump, milking him as he drink. Then in one fluid move, he down the whole thing, deep-throating him. Yugi cried out and whimper, clenching tightly on Malik’s head against his chest.. Ryou bobbed his head up and down on the shaft, swirling his tongue whenever he has room.

The pressure and heat was building up in him and Yugi can’t like he was going to explode.

“Ooh! Aah! Ryou! Please, I-I can’t! Oh!” Yugi begged, trying to close his legs but couldn’t because of Ryou. “Ahh! Hot. So hot! Can’t breathe.”

Ryou could feel the muscles in Yugi’s body getting tight and taunt. He was close. Very close.

Just as Yugi was about to climax, the pleasure was gone. His eyes snapped open in horror and looked up to see Ryou and Malik smiling down at him.

“No.” He don’t understand why they are smiling. He was in torture here because of them and they are just smiling there?! “No! Please, no!”

“No what, Yugi?” Ryou asked innocently, acting as though not seeing Yugi’s problem.

He starts to thrash again in desperation. “Ryou! Please! Don’t stop!” he begged, tears of desperation spilling from his eyes. “Please! So close.”

“Please what?” Ryou looked bewildered.

Frustrated and hard, Yugi growled and pulled at his arms but remembered that they were still locked. He growled loudly and tried a new plan. He starts to thrust his lips up, rubbing himself against Ryou’s stomach.

Ryou didn’t stop him. Instead, he’s smirking as if expected him to do this. But Yugi didn’t care. All he wants right now was to explode.

The friction he’s creating against Ryou’s stomach brought back the same waves of pressure again and he was so near to the edge. Until a painful shock went through him.

“Aaaahhh!!” he screamed out in agony, halting his rubbing. His body jerked at the sudden electrical shock. “What the hell!”

His eyes went to Ryou when the British shook his head with a mocking look. “Oh, I should’ve mentioned to you now about the cock ring, huh?”

Yugi looked down at his erection and remembered the golden ring that Ryou hand slipped on him earlier. Before it was simple to put it on, but now that he’s hard, the band has tightened.

“As you can see, there’s a limit to how far this little toy can stretch.” he explained. “But what makes it really special is the little shock box inside the ring that is triggered when it reaches it’s limit. Like those shock collars they put on dogs.”

Yugi stared at him, horrified with dread and want.

“Ryou please. PLEASE!” he begged pitifully, his eyes raining tears, tossing his pride out the window. “I’ll do anything! Just please!!”

“Anything?” he purred, knowing he’s getting his prize.

“ANYTHING!!” he yelled out.

The smirk widen on his angelic face, his eyes glowed evilly that resembles Bakura when he’s in the midst of torturing.

“Remember your words.” he whispered against the boy’s ear. “Babe.”

With one swift hand motion, he unclasped the ring and was pumping him with fast jerks. In less than a few seconds, Yugi let out an earthshattering scream of release, cumming all over his friend’s hand.

Panting heavily, his felt his mind drifting to sleep. The last thing he heard before he fell unconscious was, “Revenge is going to be sweet.”
