Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Zanshi ❯ Zanshi-Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Well here is my newest fic! I also have another work in progress named "My Puppet" Be on the lookout for it once I finish another fic! I hope you like Zanshi!

Getting into the gang was not the problem, it was getting out that was seemingly impossible without paying the ultimate price, AU. WARNING Violence, Drug usage, Yaio Sex, and Language. Very Slight Yami Bashing.

Ryou laid awake starring up at the ceiling wondering why he got into this situation in the first place. He was part of the most notorious gang of Japan. They had the police force wrapped around their fingers. No man or woman could resist them; they practically swooned over every member including Ryou himself.

Malik was the one who got him involved in the gang in the first place. He told Ryou that it would be better for him to just join, Ryou was friends with Malik and Marik and their leader said that if the 'boy' wanted to be safe he either needed to join…because he thought that if Ryou wasn't with them he was against them. Malik simply wanted to protect Ryou; he knew that their leader would go to far lengths to protect their way of life.

Their leader was Yami and his brother, who was also part of the gang, was Yugi, the two made a dangerous pair they had more combat experience than anyone was in the entire world between the two of them…if you fought them you are lucky to be killed. Marik was a torture expert he could tie you up to where you cannot even flex a muscle and proceed to do things that your worst nightmares couldn't describe. Malik's specialty was being stealth; he also had amazing hearing and eyesight not to mention his own torture techniques that he picked up from his older brother. Bakura, who was also involved in getting Ryou into the gang, was a hunter more or less no one could escape him one he found your trail…and he always found it. Bakura had incredible speed and a marvelous sense of smell he could always identify someone just by how they smelled, you couldn't sneak up on him but he could defiantly sneak up on you. The only one that successfully snuck up on Bakura was Malik because of his own special abilities. Joey had a strange healing power but he didn't participate in battle or anything like that he only helped when a member was injured unless Yami said otherwise. Honda was more of a secretary than anything else he kept up with all their affairs; no doubt this gang was organized why they were so successful in the first place. He would tell them when the police force had a new recruit when a wealthy man was coming to town and so on and so forth. Seto helped Honda in that area but he also was a computer genius he could hack into anything they used him to screw up cameras and other electronics when they didn't want to be seen or followed.

Yami wanted Ryou to join because Ryou knew all of the members and it was too dangerous, Ryou could expose him and all of their secrets. Also he knew Ryou was empathetic and somewhat psychic even, he could see someone's past and sense their moods and emotions easily. He would be a good addition when they wished to extract information without damaging their victim too much. Granted Marik's attempts would eventually get the information out but sometimes he drove the prisoners insane before he got that far…Ryou could help so the torture would only be used for fun. It took Malik and Bakura to practically force him to ask to join, they knew if Ryou refused Yami wouldn't disregard it this time which he had done in the past, no, Yami would kill Ryou if he refused again, he thought Ryou too much of a threat.

Ryou shuddered slightly at remembering his initiation day and how hard it was just getting into something he wanted nothing to do with…he didn't realize how easy it was to get in compared to getting out.

~Flashback~

Ryou cringed as the needle pierced the vain in his arm as they injected his system with the clear liquid. Ryou didn't know what it was only that he had to take it every two hours for two days straight. They had addicted him to the unknown drug then made him experience the horrible withdrawal symptoms without food or water. Malik came to him secretly and helped him, he had to go through the same thing and it drove his senses wild as they heightened and fell with each dose making her every noise then nothing at all. He could at least comfort the boy if nothing else. Once the symptoms stopped he started the second initiation, they wanted to see how long it would take Ryou to break…which unfortunately it didn't take long for Marik to have the boy pouring his heart out but that was expected. They did many other thing's beatings, of which he was instantly healed afterwards, more drug 'therapy' as they called it, and the testing of his gift. For an entire year he was unable to make a decision of his own, he took orders and did what he was told no matter how outrageous their request was he had to carry it out. He was lower than everyone else so he had to do whatever the other members told him to do, Malik and Bakura saved him plenty of times from rather degrading assignments but they weren't always there but thankfully they were all once his friends so it was never too bad unless Yami or Honda were ordering him around. They really enjoyed pushing his buttons and forcing him into degrading positions and such.

However soon enough he was a part of the gang. The gang was known the public as Zanshi, which meant 'Violent Death' and each member was known the pubic with certain names as well, they only spoke their real names to each other, no other knew their real name. Ryou was known as Osanai, which meant 'very young' because he was the youngest member ever to survive the initiation and be respected by the leader and recognized as part of the group. Yugi was known as Gekitou, which meant 'fierce fighting' because of his amazing fighting skills. Yami was known as Reichou, which meant 'leader with miraculous powers' because he was the leader and the strongest member of the group magically with his own secret techniques. Bakura was known as Hanta-Kira, which means 'hunter killer' because after he caught whom he was chasing they usually didn't live long afterward. Marik was known as Saikodorama, which meant 'Psychodrama' because he would not only torture his victims physically he would traumatize their minds as well. Malik was known as Musei, which meant 'silent' because of his stealth. Joey was known as Zen'yu, which meant 'complete healing' because of his miraculous healing powers. Honda was known as Seizen, which meant 'well-organized' since he handled all the files of the group and did a good job of it as well. And Seto was known as Isai, which meant 'genius' because that's exactly what he was, smarter than anyone in the group next to Yami was.

Now Ryou was a part of it, he was part of Zanshi and there was nothing he could do about it. Nevertheless, Ryou soon got used to it and actually enjoyed being a part of this group. He was not only used to extract information he was also used to draw people in, he was used as bait for the enemies and actually loved it. He could easily seduce the men to bend to his every will as soon enough had them in Bakura's or Marik's clutches as they tortured him or her for even thinking of touching Osanai…Ryou. Ryou would watch in delight as they tortured the pour soul that fell into his trap. He never was attached to any of them, he was attached to Malik. He and Malik fell in love shortly after his initiation was complete the two of them barely going anywhere without one another, they loved each other more than their own lives…Ryou never knew how desperate Malik wanted to get out and when he tried…it killed him and Ryou regretted not going with him. He tried to talk to Yami to spare Malik, saying that he didn't want to betray them at all he just wished to be released. Yami thought he was traitor and was going to order a quick and painless death. However, when Ryou said this he decided to put Malik through un-initiation that proved to be most painful and ten times worse than the initiation itself and unfortunately Ryou's love didn't survive the act and he lost the one person he truly cared for. Ryou felt responsible for having put his love through something so horrible and blamed himself although it wasn't truly his fault.
