Summary
In Ancient Egypt there was a white haired teenage boy by the name of Ryou. Ryou was tall, had warm brown eyes and snowy white hair down to the middle of his back. He wasn’t very strong and was kind of pale because he was hardly in the sun. He was a slave to a rich man by the name of Yugi. Yugi had tricolor hair. It was mostly black with red tips and he had yellow bangs that framed his face, His hair stood up on end and made it look like he had a starfish on his head. He was very short and had light amethyst eyes that were almost always shining. Yugi thought that Ryou was very talented and kind so he promised Ryou that when he was old enough to make a living that he would free him. However the promise was not fulfilled because a few weeks later he died for no apparent reason. Ryou was sad that he had lost his master along with his closest friend and also disappointed that he wouldn’t be freed. He didn’t have long to dwell on it though because he had to be sold in a while to a new person and what scared him the most was getting an abusive master. He was sold to a person named Bakura. However is Bakura evil like everyone thinks or is he just lonely and looking for someone to love and for him or her to love him back. Will this be a hard time for Ryou or will he find someone to love him?

Now on with the story…

~*~ Ryou’s POV~*~

The first day I was in my master’s house I was nervous. I had no idea of what to expect in my new home. Every one I had talked to had said that he was mean and never nice or considerate.
On my first day at my new Bakura’s house I was called into the hallway so I could speak with my new master. When I got there he looked at me and I looked at him. I had to hold back a gasp because he looked almost exactly like me except his eyes were cold and uncaring and emotionless and more slanted and darker. His hair was the same snowy white hair as me except that it was messier and looked more menacing. Just by looking at him I could tell he was not nice but I decided to give him a chance before judging him.
Just as hard and cold and uncaring as his eyes were he asked me what my name was. "Ryou" I told him. He nodded and yelled (more like barked) "Yami!" When Yami was all the way around the corner I gasped in shock. Bakura asked what was wrong. I looked back at Bakura and said "Master Bakura it just surprised me when he came around the corner because he looks a lot like my old Master except that Yami is taller, his eyes are sharper and colder and almost blood red in color. Also there are Yellow lightning bolts in his black portion of the hair." Bakura nodded in acknowledgment before turning back to Yami and saying "I want you to show the new slave Ryou around and tell him how things are run around here." Yami nodded and beckoned me to come.
Once out of earshot he told me in a soft yet serious voice "My name is Yami. I Dust and clean the house. During the next few days you will be with the rest of the servants and I doing some chores until we can decide where to place you but if we can’t find a place Master Bakura will tell you what to do. Speaking of Master Bakura here is a warning: do not get Master Bakura mad otherwise you will regret the day you were born. Do you understand?" He asked. I nodded my head. "Good." he replied. "I do not mean to be so serious, but I have to get the point across because I don’t want to see you get hurt when I know I could have prevented it." he said. "Okay." I said shyly. He looked at me and smiled.

~*~Bakura’s POV~*~

As soon as they walked away I started to feel a little lonely and I was confused because I had shown some emotion to the new slave, Ryou. I pushed my feelings aside like always and headed to my bedroom to work on my journal, but I couldn’t focus. All I could focus on was Ryou. Then there was a knock on the door. "What!?" I growled making sure I didn’t show any emotion.
"I have your dinner Master Bakura." replied a servant named Tea. "Just leave it on the table." I said annoyed. <You know I really don’t like her. She is a real pain. She’s not like Ryou. Ryou is kind and has a voice like an angel.> Tea came in and left the food on the table. "Bring Ryou here. I need to talk to him." I said before she left. "Yes, Master Bakura." She said as she bowed and left to get Ryou.

~*~Ryou’s POV~*~

Yami was just showing me around the house so I wouldn’t get lost easily. When all of the sudden another servant came around the corner. She had shoulder length hair and blue eyes.
"Are you Ryou?" she asked. "Yes" I replied. "Who are you and why do you need me?" I asked. "My name is Tea and Master Bakura asked me to get you and bring you to him." she replied. I tensed as she said Bakura’s name. Yami noticed and said "you didn’t do anything wrong so he probably just wants to learn about your past."
"Oh." I said as I visibly relaxed. "Go with Tea." he told me. I nodded and followed Tea as she headed off.
~Thirty Minutes later: still walking through the halls~
"Master Bakura’s room is just down this hall. We had better hurry otherwise I will be punished." She said as she started to walk faster and begin to run and I followed.

~*~Bakura’s POV~*~

While I was waiting for Ryou I ate my dinner. I always eat my dinner in about half an hour. When I was done that annoying girl and the beautiful angel, Ryou still hadn’t come. <She had better come soon other wise she will be punished. I think I will give her 1-minute to get here with Ryou.>
About 1 minute later I heard 2 people gasping for breath outside my door.

~*~Ryou’s POV~*~

We were running for dear life when Tea stopped in front of a brown door with the edges lined in silver. On the center of the door was the eye of Ra on a triangle surrounded by a ring with 5 cone shapes hanging on the bottom by the center of the widest part on little hooks, (so they can move around) surrounded by smaller pictures of a rod, scales, an eye, a necklace, a key and an upside down pyramid that looked like a puzzle all of them were painted in gold and had the eye of Ra on it.
"Is this Master Bakura’s Bedroom?" I asked. "Yes" she replied. "But you should NEVER go in here without Master Bakura’s permission." she said as she looked at me to make sure that I understood. I nodded my head. She looked at me once again before knocking on the door. "Master Bakura, I have Ryou here just like you asked." she said through the door.
"Fine, let him in then go do your work!" Bakura growled a few seconds later.
"Yes Master Bakura" Tea replied. Then she opened the door and told me to go in.
I was really nervous, but can you blame me?

~*~Bakura’s POV~*~

I heard the whole conversation outside my door and when Tea knocked on the door and told me that she had Ryou. When Ryou was mentioned I became a little happier but not much, but I pushed it aside and growled "Fine, let him in then go do your work!" she replied "Yes Master Bakura." Before opening the door to reveal the white haired angel. <Ra, is he beautiful. Did I just think that? By Ra! I did! I can’t believe that I just thought that!> I got dragged out of my thoughts as Ryou walked into the room.
Then I noticed that Ryou was looking around my large room, which was filled with the colors gold, black, silver, white and blood red. I smirked at the surprised expression on his face and asked with a little humor in my voice "What do you think of it Ryou?"

~*~Ryou’s POV~*~

As I walked into the room I started to look around. The main colors were gold, silver, black, white and blood red. The huge bed had gold and silver hangings with a blood red blanket and black pillows. He had a mirror that had silver edges hanging just above a black dresser that had gold inscriptions on it. He also had a black desk with silver edges. All in all it was a beautiful room.
"What do you think of it Ryou?" Bakura asked dragging me out of my thoughts.
"I think it is beautiful Master Bakura." I replied respectfully. Then Bakura surprised me by saying "you don’t have to call me ‘Master’. I ‘d prefer it if you just called me Bakura. Your too beautiful, innocent and polite to have to call anyone ‘Master’" I stood there shocked.

~*~Bakura’s POV~*~

"I think it is beautiful Master Bakura." He replied respectfully. I inwardly flinched because it just didn’t seem right for such a polite, innocent and beautiful person to call anyone ‘Master’, so I said "you don’t have to call me ‘Master’. I ‘d prefer it if you just called me Bakura. Your too beautiful, innocent and polite to have to call anyone ‘Master’". He stood there shocked. I chuckled lightly as I went over to my bed and sat down. After a few moments I motioned for Ryou to sit down beside me. He came over but did not sit down so I said "I don’t bite so come and sit down. I doubt you want to stand while you tell me about your past."
He looked at me then sat down and didn’t say anything. I knew he wanted to ask a question but the others probably said that I would punish him. I normally would but since this is Ryou I wouldn’t hurt him. "Has any of the other slaves said that I always punished them for no reason at all?" He looked down but said "Yes."
"Don’t worry. I don’t punish people for no reason. They probably think that because I punish Tea so much." I said. "Why do you punish Tea so much then?" Ryou questioned. " I punish her a lot because whenever her friends are around and she thinks that I am not around she tells speeches about friendship. This is during chores and not doing chores and it gets annoying." I said rubbing my temples.
"Oh." said Ryou.
<Just Great he became shy again.> I thought. "Ryou I wanted you here so you could tell me about your past so I can learn about you more and help decide on where you can work."
"Oh." he said again. "Are you sure? I don’t want you to get upset with me."
" I won’t get upset with you and I really do want to hear about your life at you old Master’s house." I said.

~*~Ryou’s POV~*~

I was nervous to tell him everything but since he was my master I had to.
"What would you like to know?" I asked shyly. "I would like to know what you did, friends you had, things about your old master, your fears and what makes you happy." Replied Bakura.
"Okay. Well when I was at my other master’s house I was his personal servant and a cook." I said. Bakura raised an eyebrow. "You’re a cook?" he asked skeptically. "Yes!" I said full of pride. "Is there anything wrong with being a cook?" I asked.
"No" he said "it just surprised me. You don’t seem like you would be cook material."
"Why thank you for insulting me. I feel so special." I replied sarcastically.
"Anyways," I said reverting back to my shy and innocent self. "I was, as I said before, Master Yugi’s personal servant. Since he was short I got things for him that he couldn’t reach. He also let me and the other servants call him Yugi. Another thing I did as his personal servant was that I listened to his problems and gave him advice and he did the same thing for me. I also told him about the servants’ needs, if the other servants were getting their work done and stuff like that.
Bakura just sat there looking thoughtful. "Continue." he encouraged me slightly. I nodded and continued "I had 5 friends beside Yugi. One of my friends named Joey had yellow hair and honey colored eyes. Joey loves another one of my friends named Seto. Seto has brown hair with eyes like blue ice. Seto’s younger brother Mokuba has black hair that goes down to the middle of his back and he has warm brown eyes. My last 2 friends look almost exactly alike. They both have sandy yellow hair down to the middle of their backs but you can’t tell it on Marik because he always spikes it. Malik just lets it hang down. They both have violet eyes but Marik’s eyes are a little more menacing and darker than Malik’s. They both also have a thing for knives and killing."
"They like knives?" he asked. "Yes." I replied. "Do you know where they are?" he asked. "Yes." I said again getting confused. "Do you know if they are for sale?" "Yes they are for sale but they won’t leave my other friends. If you tried to buy one but not the others they would refuse to leave and the others would refuse to let them leave." I said.
"Ryou would you like to see your friends again?" he asked.
"O- of course, why wouldn’t I?" I replied..
