Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Youth ❯ Youth-Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Well here is the second chapter! Thanks to everybody who reviewed it is muchly appreciated! I hope you like chapter two so ENJOY!!!

Ryou stared out the locked window and sighed, turning and once more wishing for something light enough for him to pick up and hurl through the glass, breaking it so he might get away. Seto had previously moved such things. Ryou looked down and sighed, before returning his gaze to the outside. He rested his forehead against the cool glass and thought back. A week, it had been a week of hell. Why hadn't anyone questioned Seto's calls? Surely, his Yami had noticed SOMETHING suspicious. Ryou rarely went anywhere without his ring, especially not trips. But then again, his Yami never cared.

Seto found it amusing his attempts, he put up a very good fight most of the time of course he was not strong enough to stop him but nonetheless he tried. He managed to keep him a week without escape, his rebellion was slowly dying away, his pleas stopped almost completely, and Seto didn't feel the need to hurt him nearly as badly as he had the first time. It was not in his nature to be gentle but he was getting to the point where Ryou would scream upon request…he was taking his training without knowing it. It never seemed to go away...the hurt. Ryou hugged himself and felt a sudden urge to sob. Why!? Why him?! He hit his forehead against the glass lightly. 'At least I have my health...' he thought to himself bitterly. He hated Seto, hated him with a level of hate that Ryou never knew existed. Was this how his Yami thought of him? He grumbled and tried to tug the lock from the window, as he had tried many times before. Seto walked inside the room unnoticed and locked the door behind him, and notice Ryou pulling vainly at the lock on the window. He rolled his eyes, he had tried it so many time already…it wouldn't be to long before he found something to break the window with or pick the lock with…he arranged to have bars put on the window by tomorrow so should he succeed in doing so it wouldn't do him any good. He walked over to Ryou not caring if Ryou noticed him now, grabbed both of his wrists violently, and threw him to the floor.

"Ow!" Ryou yelped pushing himself up from the floor and scooting away from Seto. "Why did you DO that!" He yelled. He had adopted an attitude with which he spoke to Seto,

But knew when he was pushing the corporate teen too far, not to say that he always stopped there. Usually Seto gave generous signs he would not tolerate much more. Empty threats, then promises...and if the attitude continued punishment. Ryou glared at Seto as he scooted farther away.

"You don't learn fast enough for my tastes Ryou!" I figured you be less rebellious that Yugi was looks like that abusive Yami of yours given you a little bit of an upper hand on this situation…little." Seto said glaring the younger one down.

Ryou was about to return a snide remark, before he had truly realized what Seto had said. "Yugi?..." He shook his head. Had Seto done this before?! "What about Yugi?!" Ryou said in a rather demanding tone, but not so that it upset the Blue eyed teen too badly.

Seto simply laughed slightly "Do you really think all your friends would believe me? No Ryou they wouldn't…but they would Yugi even your Yami would believe Yugi. Such a sweet and innocent boy would never lie at the expense of another now would he?" Seto grinned at Ryou "This room is practically made for keeping people in it, Yugi was in the same position as you…he submitted much faster of course, but he knows what I'll do to him should he breath a word of this to anyone, and trust me when I say I'll bring you to that point as well." Seto said circling him like a vulture inspecting a kill.

Ryou glared defiantly at Seto. "Then you'd need more than a summer!" Ryou said looking away snootily, yet again pushing Seto's buttons careful where he stepped.

Ryou didn't want to get hurt, but he DID like pissing off the other teen. At least then it brought him down from his smug aloofness.

"I thought you hated Yugi and his Yami. Desperate for sex because you cant get it any other way?" Ryou said, pushing just a bit more, waiting for one of the first signs that he was pushing Seto too far for his caring.

Seto face grew increasingly cross, he didn't like hurting Ryou any more than necessary and Ryou knew this but would usually stop when he realized Seto had, had enough. Ryou also knew what would happen should he continue pushing him, which never turned out good for Ryou.

"If you wish me to leave permanent scars I will Ryou, I've been quite lenient on you for the simple fact I don't like disfigurement but you are pushing it a little too far." Seto growled angrily at him.

"As if you haven't left scars already..." Ryou mumbled bitterly, looking down and sighing. "When did you do this to Yugi?"

Why hadn't he even known? Surely if Seto had kidnapped Yugi like this, there would have been a similar cover up. 'Poor Yugi...but...how could he keep this from the others?! What threat could Seto have possibly used to scare someone as headstrong as Yugi?' Ryou thought to himself, shaking his head in prolonged disbelief. 'Maybe he's just lying...Seto's always been one to play mind games...'

"Dose it matter when? Besides you could care less when it happened you really want to know how, how I got him to the point where he dose what I tell him to when I tell him to cause he really has no other choice. Also just so you do know I would never kill anyone I'm not to keen on such atrocious tactics to get what one wants." Seto said grabbing Ryou's hair making him sit near his feet.

"Yugi is my friend! Of course, I care! I'm not heartless like you are!" Ryou said angry with himself for not ever knowing, not even in the slightest. "How can you BE this way?!" Ryou shook his head lightly, still denying that Seto might be speaking the truth. "You're lying! I don't believe you!" Ryou shouted, although most of the volume was directed at the floor, since he refused to look Seto in the eyes.

Seto had had enough of Ryou by now, "I don't lie!" He breathed dangerously telling Ryou he had once again pushed his limit with him .He threw Ryou on the bed still clutching tightly to his hair and glared at Ryou.

"That hair of yours makes you look so much like a girl…you need to be reminded that you're a boy." Seto said taking out a knife that he kept handy.

Seto brought the knife against Ryou's hair and once Ryou realized what he was intending to do he panicked.

Ryou squirmed to get away. "Stop! Don't!" He shrieked. "Please..." He added forcing himself to calm down. He swallowed his panic and closed his eyes. "Seto...please don't." He whispered shakily. One of the few things Ryou found attractive about himself was his hair, and he didn't need Seto ruining that too. He had spent many an hour since he'd been kidnapped quietly combing through his soft hair, trying to calm down or forget what Seto had done. It was one of the few pleasures he had left. Seto stopped and looked at Ryou for a moment and grinned to himself

"I do something for you and you do something for me Ryou that is how it will go…what do you think I want?" Seto said seductively and he kissed Ryou's neck sucking upon it softly.

Ryou cringed at the kisses but sighed. "Everything comes at a price with you...doesn't it?" He mumbled mournfully, but didn't struggle. He didn't want to lose one of his ways of keeping sane. Ryou sometimes wondered why Seto even bothered with foreplay. Ryou never enjoyed Seto's rape, no matter how many kisses or seductive whispers he directed at him. Sometimes he just wished Seto would just bash him over the head and use him in his unconscious state. At least then, he wouldn't have to be present for it.

Seto smiled at him

"My price is different this time, I don't want your screams…unless in pleasure." Seto said kissing Ryou strongly. He loved screams he thrived off them but he wanted to know good and well what he would sound like in pleasure as well.

Ryou sighed, still unmoving. "There would be no screams then." He mumbled shaking his head. "Just get this whole thing over with...I want to keep my hair." Ryou added turning his gaze to a wall. Seto was either, insane or a displaying a level of stupidity that bordered on imbecilic. Nothing EVER would make Ryou PLEASURED to be with him. The very sights of Seto made Ryou sometimes urge to kneel to the porcelain god and up heave his previous meal.

"You're not listing to me Ryou…I don't care if you mean them or not I just want to hear them…" Seto returned his knife to Ryou's hair and cut a few strands off not enough for anyone to notice but for him to get his point across "You are right there will be no screams…but you will moan, beg for more, and anything else that I see fit!" Seto spat as he pulled Ryou close to him in a bruising kiss then pulled away looking Ryou dead in the eye.

Ryou diverted his gaze. "Just get this over with..." he murmured, fidgeting with a few strands of his hair out of habit. He already had the urge to pick up the paddle brush from the dresser and comb through his hair.

"Just for record Ryou one screw up and I will cut your hair off, I will not tolerate any more rebellion from you tonight…I've had my fill." Seto said flipping Ryou on his stomach and removing Ryou's shirt as well as his own. "Understand? When I tell you what to do, do it! No pleas, no tears, just do as I say or by Ra you'll lose more than your hair understand?" Seto said

Ryou nodded and sighed, forcing back tears that were already threatening to spill over his cheeks. "Will you at least be GENTLE this time..." He said, voicing his continuing complaint on Seto's rough nature, Seto never really got mad at the comment, but Ryou doubted he ever listened either. It would just be easier not to cry if someone were not skewering him in the most painful way possible.

"I suppose" Seto said and Ryou looked at him slightly shocked before he pulled Ryou into a soft embrace and kissed him passionately slipping his tongue inside Ryou's mouth exploring it fully. Ryou made the mistake of biting Seto when he did this earlier it was not a punishment that Ryou would soon want to relive and most defiantly not now as Seto pulled Ryou on top of him wanting obviously wanting Ryou to lead the kiss now.

Ryou got a pained look, but did as Seto wished...although he hadn't much skill. He wasn't much of a leader and Seto's rapes hadn't helped that at all. 'At least I'll not be sore for hours after this whole rotten thing is over...I'm going to take a VERY hot bath this time...' Ryou thought mentally cursing Seto. He treated Ryou like his personal little whore, and Ryou hated it...hated him. Ryou gently pulled away from the kiss and shyly laid his head on Seto's shoulder so he could lick and nip at the blue-eyed teen's neck. 'I hate you...' Ryou thought clamping his eyes shut and trying to think of happier things...like the garden in front of his house...which was probably dying of thirst for water. Seto closed his eyes enjoying the feeling or Ryou's soft lips against his skin he never allowed Ryou to lead to long because he tended to prolong the inevitable. He soon enough had Ryou pinned beneath him as he slowly pushed himself inside Ryou, being gentle as said although he wanted to pound into him mercilessly. He leant next to Ryou's ear

"Smile for the camera." He said softly as he brought Ryou into a deep kiss.

Ryou kissed back absently, more focused on trying not to cry as he had promised. He forced himself to think of his friends, yes friends was a good happy topic. 'Th-theres Anzu...the never q-quiet cheerleader....a-and Honda' He forced a relatively convincing moan after a moment, so Seto wouldn't think he was trying harder than usual to not pay attention to him, and start being rougher. 'H-Honda the dependable teddy bear.' Seto knew Ryou was trying not to pay attention to him, when he was able to scream he could let out his frustration but this kept him quite, which causes him to space out slightly. Seto clamped his mouth onto Ryou's and dug his nails into his back so should he scream it would be muffled and sound like a struggled moan even. He did this for the pure simple use of a tape where Ryou appeared to enjoy himself and he wouldn't screw it up now. He needed Ryou awake and aware not dazed and confused. Ryou gasped into the kiss and winced slightly, but didn't scream. He did however whimper slightly, which could easily be mistaken for a needy plea for more. Ryou hated Seto's obsession with cameras and taping him, or taking pictures. It made him feel even dirtier...like a true whore. He looked at the camera mournfully, but his mouth was still clamped tightly to Seto's. 'J-Jounochi...t-the tough guy....and Y-Yugi...' He continued down the list, but his heart sank when he reached Yugi's name. Seto's pace became faster now and more demanding as he took Ryou's length into his hand and began to pump him fiercely. He pulled away from Ryou wanting to hear him beg for more, wanting him to voice it without instruction.

Ryou shuddered and moaned louder. 'Y-Yugi...did he...he really do this to you too?' "Seto...please!" He gasped in a begging tone. "More! Oh please!" He pleaded, even though he didn't mean a word of it.

'But...how can you keep it a secret...you know how horrible it is. H-how can you...let him do it again?' Seto rolled on his back taking Ryou with him so the young boy was now straddling him as he guided his hips up and down upon his length and groaned at the feeling, letting Ryou's hips go wanting Ryou to continue for him. Ryou cringed lightly, trying not to make himself ill with the thoughts of what he was doing. He silently did as Seto wanted, moaning with false pleasure and pressing closer to his captive. 'Yugi...How can you let him do this to me...how can you sit by and let him ruin another person's life?' Ryou felt ill as he worked. 'I hate you! I hate you Seto!'

Yugi opened another shipment of comics that had just arrived, the truck had come a little late so he was still up stocking shelves, Yami had gone outside for a short while to tear up and throw away the empty boxes. Yugi sighed and bit his lip business was not going that great and they made enough to live but it was getting harder. HE swallowed a bit nervously upon remembering the loan he owed Seto, their shop almost had to be closed down but they took a loan from Seto and he was patient on being paid back. Yugi's face grew bitter at the mention thought of Seto as he silently cursed his name, but that hatred was soon filled with sadness, he had lied for Seto about Ryou and he could never forgive himself for what he had done. He yearned to tell someone anyone but he feared losing his home…if they lost the shop he would have to go back to his father, and Yugi dreaded that. Yami came back, dusting his hands lightly. He blinked at his Hikari, before shaking his head.

"Why the long face Aibou? What's on your mind?" He said almost teasing.

Yugi had become more withdrawn since the loan, but Yami knew that times were rough on the poor boy and didn't pester the smaller teen; like that, obnoxious Anzu did at times. Yami shook his head. She was so nosey that it was amazing someone hadn't killed her yet. Yugi looked at Yami trying to conceal the mixture or hatred and sadness in his eyes but it never really worked against his Yami but tried anyway.

"Nothing…just thinking is all." Yugi said shifting his gaze to the box that was now empty, he realized his work had become a bit faster whenever he thought about Seto.

Yami frowned and shook his head.

"I doubt it's nothing. You can tell me anything Aibou...you should know that by now. Your eyes don't lie, something is really bothering you." He said softly, taking empty box from Yugi and began tearing it up while still inside.

He hoped that Yugi would tell him what was wrong without having to pry. Yami hated to pry into Yugi's life, because he knew Yugi hated it as well.

"I will not pry, but you really shouldn't keep secrets if they're making you so unhappy..."

Damn why did his Yami have to be so nice, he wanted to tell him so badly but Ra only knows what Seto would do to Ryou should he say something now.

"I don't really wanna talk about it Yami maybe some other time." Yugi said brushing past him and walking upstairs.

He could go to Seto's maybe reason with him or something about holding Ryou and maybe help him somehow…he couldn't stand the guilt he felt and it had only been a day really, it would only get worse should he not do anything about it. Yami sighed and shook his head, as he walked outside to throw the final box away.

"I don't understand why he must hide things from me..." He said sadly. It upset the pharaoh that he couldn't help his Hikari with whatever troubled the smaller teen.

He could feel a lot of contradicting emotions through the link he shared with Yugi...but he couldn't tell what these emotions were caused by. Yugi had been blocking him out a lot recently...Yugi scribbled something on a note, telling Yami where he was going, and went through the front door while his Yami went upstairs upon not seeing him. Yami would want to accompany him, Seto would have blown a gasket if Yami came with him…he hated Yami with an unquenched passion and he couldn't let him come near Seto, not yet at least. He took a deep breath as he waited for the taxicab to arrive so he could go to Seto's summer mansion. He saw Yami through the window as the cab drove off taking him to last place he wanted to go. Yami grumbled as he clenched the note in his hands. He didn't care for Yugi being around Seto, something about Seto bothered him. He was grateful that Seto had loaned his Hikari and 'grandpa' money to help them in tough times...but he still didn't like the corporate teen. He was a snake. A slithering spineless snake that did no good without its price. Of course Yami had no real true proof of those accusations. However, eyes don't lie.

Seto looked over at the sleeping Ryou, he knew Ryou hadn't been sleeping lately he kept on pulling little stunts at night so Seto made it a point to give him some sleeping pills this time…they would wear off soon enough though he had been sleeping for hours in all truth already. He rubbed the back of his neck…it had been a while since he had become sore after sex, Ryou was actually quite good at it…he would have to let the silver haired angel do it again sometime. The doorbell rang and Seto growled at if because it woke Ryou up with a start.

"Get the door…run off and you wont get far little one." Seto said glaring at him maliciously showing a no tolerance for anything at the moment.

Ryou grumbled sleepily. "I'd get farther than where I am now..." he mumbled grouchily as he stumbled to get the door. He was tempted to try running away at the moment, out of sheer spite. 'Wouldn't get far...I bet I could get further than he could...' Ryou thought to himself as he reached the door and opened it. He didn't try to run out though...

Yugi was more than surprised to say the least when Ryou opened the door he expected Seto.

"Moshi-moshi" Yugi said lowly hanging his head

Ryou shook his head...he couldn't find words. After a few moments though he spoke. "...Yugi...why?" He said softly, looking over his shoulder to see if Seto was paying attention. "Why...a-and why did you come? You should leave..." Ryou murmured shaking his head and closing his eyes mournfully. He stepped aside though; if Yugi wanted in, he could do so. Ryou wouldn't stop him. Yugi knew that Ryou was basically pleading with him to leave but Yugi couldn't do that as he walked politely inside directing his attention to Seto.

"Shujin…onegai tomeru…" Seto glared at Yugi, which cut him off immediately

Yugi quickly diverted his gaze to the floor so not to anger the CEO further he could barely stand the thought of Seto touching him again but he had to try to get Ryou out of this mess, he felt slightly responsible.

Ryou shook his head. "Yugi-kun...don't..." He said softly. Even if Yugi was keeping this a secret, he didn't want him hurt at Seto's hands. Yugi was a friend...and Seto was their shared enemy. He shot Seto a glare. How...how could Seto have done this to someone like Yugi?! He was not any master! He was just an insignificant criminal who tortured those unfortunate enough to cross his wretched path!

"Don't call someone like Seto...Something like that" he whispered shaking his head.

Yugi brushed him off, he didn't fully understand yet, he didn't know what would happen to him if he didn't do just as Seto said…and soon enough Seto would find Ryou's weakness and they would be in the same position.

"Onegai Shujin…just let me speak at least?" Yugi asked pleading with Seto

"Is there really that much to say?" Seto said walking toward Yugi so he was close "Come here to help your friend?" Seto asked mockingly "You really think I would let him go so easily?" Seto said with a scoff

"I do not expect anything Shujin…" Suddenly Ryou cut him off

"Don't call someone like Seto something like that!" Ryou said louder. He shook his head harshly. "Yugi...get out of here while you can! He's a monster!" Ryou added in equal volume. "Please Yugi...go! I don't want to see you hurt...please." Ryou said glaring at Seto, a sudden new fierceness in him. Seeing Yugi act like a broken shell of a person was simply too much for him to bear. It hurt him; hurt him to see that Seto had been telling the truth. He had done this to Yugi...and what was worse is that it wasn't just words anymore. It was fact. Yugi was here, and he was a shattered person.

Yugi winced when Seto slapped Ryou across the face, which sent him to the floor.

"You shouldn't speak out of turn Ryou." He said smugly before turning to Yugi.

Yugi had his gaze on Ryou a look of sadness etched across his face as if to tell Ryou he was sorry. He bit his lip feeling Seto's gaze upon himself and forced himself to look at Seto once again.

"Why are you doing this to him? Why not just let him go?" Yugi asked his eyes pleading with the emotionless ones of Seto's.

"He's not broken yet…I can't let him go so soon." Seto said looking as Ryou shakily brought himself up from the ground clutching his cheek.

"Onegai…he shouldn't have to endure this, just…" Yugi said but Seto grabbed him by the throat and slammed him to the floor harshly

"You dare question me!" Seto screamed as Yugi winced at the force

"N-no Shujin…do as you will but…" Yugi was silenced by a violent slap from Seto but was thankful that he had let go of his throat.

Ryou shook his head. "STOP IT! Leave him alone! What did either of us EVER do to you!" Ryou shouted. "Leave Yugi alone you...you heartless bastard!" Ryou rarely cursed, so when he did it usually startled most in the room.

He looked to the door, maybe he could grab Yugi and they both could make a break for it. Ryou was relatively sure he could run faster than the blue-eyed monster. The only problem was getting Yugi. Nevertheless, after that, minor, setback they'd both be Scott free! ...Ok so it was REALLY wishful thinking

"SHUT UP RYOU!" Yugi screamed which shocked both Seto and Ryou slightly "You think all you yelling is helping the situation, its not!" Yugi said shakily bringing himself to his feet and staring at Ryou with tear filled eyes.

Ryou bit his lip to keep himself from spouting more angry remarks at Seto. However, looked at Yugi mournfully, shaking his head once more. He felt like crying himself, why did Yugi do this to himself?! Seto smiled to himself slightly as he looked at Yugi for a moment, then back to Ryou.

"You should take his advice tenshi…how do you think he finally left?" Seto said snaking his arms around Yugi's waist kissing his neck and Yugi didn't even flinch "All your rebellion will not get you out any faster." Seto said leaving Yugi's side and locking the door "Upstairs." He said commandingly.

Yugi grabbed Ryou's hand when he saw the boy tense up and glare. "Baka!" Yugi said under his breath to Ryou as he led him to Seto's chamber and closed the door.

Ryou glared at Yugi.

"It is not stupid to not sell my soul to that....monster!" He grumbled at Yugi. "How can you be like this?! H-how..." Ryou sniffled slightly and hung his head. "I don't care if I'm stuck here forever...I'll never be his little slave..." Ryou put his hands on his head and felt tears burning his eyes. "Yugi...why are you keeping this secret? Why do you obey him like this? Why?"

"I don't have any choice!" Yugi screamed "Who's to take care of my grandfather if we don't have any place to live Ryou?! Seto practically holds the deeds to the game shop and my home!" Yugi sniffled eyes once again filling with tears "I…I don't want to do this, do you honestly think I wasn't exactly like you when it started? I tried to run away I tried so hard not to do as he wanted but…" Yugi stopped when his tears finally took over.

Ryou gasped. "No...Yugi...I..." He hugged his friend. "Please...I'm so sorry...don't cry...its ok..." He whispered, knowing that it wasn't ok, but trying to help his friend. "I'm sorry...Yugi, I...I dont know what to say. Please...forgive me." Ryou sniffled as well. "Why did you come back? You could have left me here...you could be safe at home right now...with Yami."

"You didn't even notice really did you?" Yugi said, "I was absent so much and all my declines to go out with the rest of the group…you didn't even notice." Yugi pulled away from him "Even if I was at home with Yami I would be where I am now wracked with guilt for lying about you…for him. I didn't want to Ryou believe me but like I said I don't have much of a choice, I thought maybe I could convince him to let you go…but that looks really unlikely now." Yugi said hanging his head as he sat on the bed in the room.

"Its not your fault...No one but Seto is at fault. I really wish you had just stayed home Yugi...now you're back and he can hurt you again." Ryou said picking up the brush and beginning his nervous habit of brushing his hair. "I don't want to see you hurt Yugi...I-its bad enough that I'm stuck here. I don't want this...please ask Seto to leave...get out of here as fast as you can! If I can't leave, at least you can!" He said hanging his head, but continuing to brush it in silence.

"Ryou…even if he said I could leave he can call me at any time and I would have to come…I came of my own free will to try and help you. You're obviously making this so much harder than it has to be Ryou, rebellion seems like a good idea cause you'd think after a while he would get tired of it but he doesn't. He's practically a sadist and rebelling only lets him put you in more pain which he loves Ryou." Yugi paused and looked at Ryou who wasn't really paying attention "Onegai Ryou, listen to me and if you wont at least give me a reason why." Yugi said.

Ryou gave Yugi a hurt look. "Because...I refuse to be broken by him. I am not going to give up...either he will get sick of it, or he will kill me. But I'm not..." He stopped short, knowing that before Yugi had come he had been very close to being just what he was denying.

If Yugi hadn't set foot in his little prison, he would have been broken within a matter of time. "I don't want to Yugi. I don't want to!" Ryou said loudly wiping his eyes. "I can't do this..." He murmured putting the hairbrush down. "He's a heartless monster...I don't want to be under his thumb!"

Yugi wrapped his arms around Ryou and rocked him soothingly "I just wanted to make it easier on you Ryou. But at least believe me when I say that he won't get sick of it, he love it he thrives off it…but he'll never kill you, and he won't let you hurt yourself. That was my desperate attempt to get away, he removed anything remotely harmful that I could use after that though, kept a closer eye on me too." Yugi looked at him sadly, "You know he'll use us against each other right?" Yugi asked

Ryou sniffled. "Don't let him...please...don't let him. I don't want to use someone or be used by someone. Just forget about me when this all over...go home and don't look back. Not even for a moment." Ryou pleaded, giving Yugi his most pathetic look. "If he thrives off of my pain, then he wont hurt you. I think its good enough reasoning." He wiped his eyes and hugged Yugi in return. "Please...when this whole thing is over...go home and don't come back unless he forces you. You don't deserve to be hurt anymore."

Both boys jumped slightly at Seto's scoff at the doorway as he closed and locked it behind him. "Do you really think I want him to go?" Seto said and watched amused as Yugi covered Ryou's mouth when he was about to explode again.

After a few loud muffled protests, thanks entirely to Yugi's hand, Ryou quieted. His glare was as plain as the nose on his face though, hatred scrawled over his every feature. It was pretty clear that had Yugi not clapped his hand over Ryou's mouth, that he would have said some pretty rebellious things to Seto. He sighed and hung his head, resigned to the fact that Yugi would stop him from telling Seto exactly what he thought of his twisted sense of humor. Seto grabbed Ryou by the wrist throwing him to the floor as he kissed Yugi who obviously tried but couldn't stop himself from wincing at the contact.

Yugi smiled slightly at Ryou when Seto kissed his neck showing him that he preferred himself being used instead of Ryou. In all truth Yugi felt slightly responsible for Ryou's pain…he gritted his teeth when Seto bit his neck but could not hold back a small whimper at the sensation. Ryou pushed himself from the floor and sat staring numbly.

"Yugi..." he muttered sadly.

He didn't want to be here, to see Yugi be used like that. The only thing Yugi ever did was care for others...and now he had this. He had to keep secret this awful...horrible thing that Seto did. He did it to protect his grandfather and his home. What ever made him deserve to be put through such pain?

"Seto...stop it...stop it please..." Ryou sniffled and shook his head at Yugi once more, his features clearly stating that he couldn't bear to see Yugi in any MORE pain.

Seto smirked at Ryou "You sound willing to take his place." Seto said running his hands down Yugi's small frame.

Ryou sniffled and looked at Seto. "I'll...t-take his place if you s-send him home." Ryou looked at Yugi, then to the floor. "I don't want him hurt anymore...please." He began fidgeting with a few strands of hair, as he always had when he was stressed and worried.

Seto smiled "I can't do that, he came to me willingly…if he wishes to leave he can." Seto said moving off of Yugi to look at him "But I will not send him anywhere, he is free to come and go as he pleases Ryou." Seto said as if a cast off thing.

Yugi looked at Ryou "I came to help you Ryou…and now you wont accept it?" Yugi asked not caring that Seto was still there.

"Yugi...I...I cant sit back and watch him do that to you." Ryou said near tears again. "I just cant! I'm glad you came...I know why you've been keeping this secret now. I'll never hold it against you, but please...I...I cant take it. You have to get out of here!" Ryou wiped away a few stray tears. "It'd kill me to see that happen to you."

Ryou's voice was shaking at this point, and the rest of him wasn't in much better shape.

A sly grin crossed Seto's features "Then you do it." He said simply.

HAHAHAHA Cliffhanger ^_^ anyway I hope you still are hanging in there with us and pretty please…
