In the crowd, a large old man in his late 60s and dressed in a gray business suit stood up and kept his numbered paddle in the air. He wanted those twins so bad and he was willing to pay any price for them. The little one looked so frail and delicious. He licked his lips hungrily as he continued flicking his paddle, even though the bidding has gone way over 600,000 euros. He could feel it, this lot was almost his. The only one who stood in his way was that other man standing a few rows away from him dressed in a long purple cloak with his face hidden. He too kept his paddle high and neither seemed to break a sweat as the price escalated to 750,000 euros.
The man in the cloak turned his head to sneer at the old man. He wasn't about to lose what he wanted to this chump.
Growing impatient, the old man flicked his paddle a few more times until the announcer said 900,000 euros!
The crowd gasped and was murmuring about the insane bidding, obviously excited by the action despite the no talking rule. Yugi and Atem lifted their heads in surprise. Yugi wasn't sure he even knew what a Euro was, but 900,000 of them sure sounded like a lot of money!
The old man gave the one in a cloak a shit-eating grin. The purple-clad man snarled and took his seat, dropping out of the bidding. As he sat down, his snarl turned into that of a wicked grin. It didn't matter who won, he'll get those two and the puzzle soon enough. This way, he'll get the three for much cheaper. He just needed to be patient.
"900,000 going once, going twice, SOLD!!"
The audience applauded when the bidding was over, congratulating the old man who took a bow before sitting down. The gavel came down again to silence the crowd and prepare for the next bidding.
Yugi and Atem were lowered to the floor carefully and then dragged out blindly. Their wrists were still bound and in Yugi's case, he was still gagged and they could only comply quietly as they were led off-stage. Atem looked over his shoulder as it killed him to leave the puzzle in the hands of that auctioneer, but he really didn't have a choice in the matter. If he bolted for it now, he risked leaving Yugi unattended and it could be hard to find him again. His only comfort was that it would be handed over to the one that purchased the two of them so he'll see it again soon.
Soon the stage sounded far away and the gag and blindfolds were removed. But before they could even open their eyes and look around, black pleather masks were pulled over their heads! Thankfully the masks had a nose and mouth hole for them to breathe but no eyeholes. Apparently on the bottom of the mask there a collar or something that was buckled in the back, keeping the rim of the mask shut tight. More clicking was heard as more buckles on the back of the mask were adjusted, making it really tight against their heads which Yugi didn't like at all since it flattened his hair and it was starting to itch like mad. Another click sounded like a padlock on the back, preventing any hopes they had of removing the masks when nobody was looking. After that they were pushed forward a little further and then they heard something like a heavy metal gate close behind them. They both turned around and noticed they were no longer being ushered. Atem reached his hands out and felt at the door behind them. He felt thick metal bars spaced about 6 inches apart. Yugi felt around too and sure enough, they gathered that they were in a large cage like the kind you would put tigers in or something, but tall enough for the two of them to stand comfortably.
Yugi reached for Atem's hands and held them in his own, "Are you okay? Are you hurt or anything?"
Atem squeezed Yugi's hands, his heart fluttering at Yugi's worry for him, "I'm fine. Just a headache...and very angry. Are you hurt at all?"
Yugi nodded, even though Atem couldn't see, "My head hurts too. And I should be scared but I'm not with you here. Whatever's in store for us we'll get away from too. This is just a minor setback."
Atem chuckled, "I suppose that's one way of putting it."
Yugi giggled and then realized he was shivering. It felt really cold wherever they were. "Are you cold or is that just me?"
"No, it is actually pretty cold in here," he agreed and gently guided Yugi closer to him, raising his arms over the smaller teens head and lowering them so he could hold Yugi against him. "Better?"
"Loads," Yugi smiled and leaned into the Egyptian's warmth. "Why would those other guys let us put our clothes on if we were just going to get naked again? And how did they even knock us out this time?"
"This time? Yugi I don't even know how they knocked us out the first time!" he grumbled and felt slight weakness in his legs, so he pulled Yugi down on the floor with him, sitting flat on the ground and pulling him between his legs so Yugi's back was pressed against his chest.
"It feels like forever ago. I don't even remember what we were doing before we ended up on that table."
"If I had to guess, I'd say we were walking home from school or maybe even the other way around. That's really they only time they could have ambushed us."
"I think it was before school...otherwise Anzu and the others would've been with us, right?"
"That's true. But if that's the case, then it's possible we've been gone for a whole day...or maybe only half a day. I still have yet to see a clock or anything."
"I think it might've only been a day. I mean I'm starving but I think we would know if we haven't eaten for nearly two days and we've only had one bathroom break."
Atem growled. He hated not knowing things. It was also kind of sad that they had to track time by how many times they've been to the john.
"Speaking of which, I really need to go," Yugi whined.
"Just go in the corner," Atem huffed.
"You can't be serious?"
"We're already naked and we're locked in who knows what kind of hell hole where they're auctioning off people. Do you really want to waste good manners on this place?"
"You do have a point there."
"Besides, it'd be their own fault for not letting us go."
"...Do you think they'd let us out of the cage and take us to the bathroom if I asked?"
Atem thought for a moment. "That's not a bad idea. But I don't like the thought of trying to escape when we don't even know where the puzzle is."
Yugi nodded. While it's true that they valued their own lives, the puzzle was a very dangerous artifact in the wrong hands so it's their responsibility to take care of it no matter what. "The person who bought us is going to have it, right? So we'll save the escape attempts for then?"
"That's what I'm thinking. I just hope we're not taken someplace too far from civilization."
"Oh god, I don't even want to think about that," Yugi grumbled and scooted out from underneath Atem's arms to go in the corner and piss through the bars of the cage after making sure he couldn't hear anybody around them.
"Well whoever bought us certainly has money to throw away. But why the foreign currency, I wonder. We should still be in Japan, I would think. We couldn't have been out for that long."
Yugi sighed happily as he relieved himself and gave it a few shakes before stumbling back over to Atem who put his arms around him again. "Is the euro some kind of international currency? So maybe we're still in Japan but there are a lot of foreigners here?"
"That could be. But if that's the case, what if the person who bought us is a foreigner and tries to take us out of the country?"
"Ugh...well if we could assume this person is as rich as Kaiba-kun, then he...or she...probably has enough money to afford their own private transport like a personal jet or helicoptor or boat. It could be very possible."
Both were silent for a moment and felt sick to their stomachs at the thought. It went without saying that the only way to be sure that they don't charted away to some unknown country is to escape before they're shipped if it comes to that. Both stiffened when they heard footsteps walking past their cage and then there was a loud squeak and a THUMP as somebody fell on their back and started cursing in Yugi's native language. "WHO SPILLED WATER OVER HERE? YOU'RE GONNA KILL SOMEBODY!" And then they heard the person limp away. Yugi finally let out the giggle he was holding back and Atem was trying to smother his snickering in the back of Yugi's head.
"I-I guess that confirms that we're in Japan," Yugi managed to say between giggles.
"I'd say so," Atem chuckled heartily, glad the two can still laugh despite all they've been through in the past day.
"Do you have to go?" Yugi asked.
"NOt really. I should, but I don't. Maybe if we're lucky I pissed on somebody while we were unconscious."
"Ewwwww, that's gross," Yugi snorted.
"Again, look where we are. Those people wanted to do much grosser things to us."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean we stoop to their level."
"I can't help what happens when people decide to drug me," Atem snickered.
"Jeez, you're crazy," Yugi chuckled.
Both giggled quietly about random stuff for a few more minutes, trying to keep their spirits up as they ignored the fact that they were sore, naked, cold, and starving. But then they heard numerous footsteps and voices approach and silenced themselves. Yugi felt Atem pull him closer protectively and tensed as listened for what may be their new captors. The both held their breath to listen as the footsteps stopped a few feet away from them.
"This is them, lot 204. Jush shine here and here and initial here. Yer bid was 900,000 euros. I sure hope you got yerself sum hefty cash," a man spoke in a rather thick accent that the teens couldn't place.
The old man that had bought Yugi and Atem looked over at his new purchases. The two looked adorable as they huddled in the cage. He could already feel himself stirring in his pants. Oh yes, they were going to have fun when they get home. He turned back to the man with the paperwork, "Of course. I never travel without at least 2 million euros in my suitcase. You never know when or where you can find new gems to take home." He handed the man a large black case with the Euros he had already counted out in exchange for the paperwork, which he signed quickly and handed back. The other male tore off the receipt part of the paperwork and handed it to the duelists' new owner.
The man with the accent opened the case and flipped through all of it. "That sheems ta be in order. As Jim said, you also get the effect dey came with," he said before pulling a cardboard box off the shelf that had both their clothes and the puzzle in it. He handed it over to the man who took the box in one hand.
The old man peered inside and grinned, "It appears my new pets really enjoy leather. I like them more already."
Yugi and Atem both held back a groan as they continued to listen. The two started talking about clothing for a couple of minutes before they finally got onto the topic of shipping. "As yew can shee, we put them in the cage you brought jus like you asked. You got a truck out back?"
"Yes, my shipping truck is already waiting with the ramp. The movers will be here in a minute. Now about the keys..."
"Oh! Right. You don't want to ferget that," the other man chuckled before reaching into his pocket and handing the old man a set of small silver keys. "The one with the brass head there is for the cuffs and the other is for the mask. You get to keep the chains and masks as our gift to you."
"Excellent. Is there anything else I should know?"
"Well uh..." the man looked down at the paperwork, "Mr. Totawa, the ones who brought 'em in said they were pretty strong-willed and ta not undereshtimate them. Sounds like they'll be hard cookies to crack. Also they need a little TLC for a day or so. They haven't eaten or showered in 20 hours and both have been put through the ringer so they won't be ready for action right away."
"Aw, the poor things. We'll get them all fixed up when I get them home. They'll love it there," Mr. Totawa gave an almost sinister chuckle.
"Well that's everything. Have a safe trip. Bye, kids!" the guy with the accent said, waving at Yugi and Atem, though they couldn't see him. The two just frowned.
Two more heavy pairs of feet approached and they said something to Mr. Totawa that the duelists couldn't hear because they heard a fork lift approaching. The two broke apart from each other as they heard it get closer. They weren't seriously going to lift up the cage with the two of them still in it, were they??
"Put the cover on!" they heard Mr. Totawa yell and the two movers he was talking to threw a large plastic blue cover over the cage and tied it down with twine, disguising it to make it look like every day rain-protected shipping cargo. Then suddenly Yugi and Atem felt the cage start to tilt and they grabbed onto the bars as the cage tilted a couple of inches. In a few moments it leveled again but they kept a tight grip as the cage was lifted into the air. They heard the warning beeps from the fork lift as it pulled in reverse and then turn around. The tarp flapping in the breeze told the two that they were getting carried outside and then they heard the sound of a truck engine.
Both warned each other to hold on as they knew what was coming next. The cage tilted up again as the forklift rode on the ramp into the back of a small moving truck. Once on the truck it leveled out again and Yugi and Atem finally got a chance to relax a little as the cage finally landed safely on the floor of the truck. The forklift backed out and they heard the door of the truck slam down and lock them inside. The two were alone except for the driver of the truck.
"Well...that was fun," Yugi snorted to break the silence.
"Now I know what a dog in a crate feels like," Atem growled.
Both sat down again but didn't cuddle. It was much warmer in here than it was back wherever the hell they were.
"I hate these masks," Yugi complained as he reached up and tried adjusting it so he can try and stop the itching caused by his compressed hair.
"We're going to look ridiculous when we get these off," Atem mused.
"Hat hair to the extreme. Hey, do you think you could feel around and see if you can get it off?"
"I could try," Atem shrugged and scooted behind Yugi, raising his hands to feel the back of his head. He did feel some buckles that weren't locked in and he started undoing those. Yugi started to feel better already, as the tightness of the mask stretched over his face was making his cheeks all sweaty. Atem only found two buckles on the back of Yugi's head, so he felt for the one on Yugi's neck. Sure enough, the adjustable band was locked in and it seemed to be woven through the hem of the mask. "I don't think I can undo this one, Yugi."
"This mask feels so cheap! I'm surprised it even has a lock built into it at all!"
"Wait...You're right, they do feel pretty cheap," Atem commented as he felt the mask. This wasn't even real leather. It's plastic! "I got an idea. Hold still and hold down the collar part of your mask in the front."
"Okay...?" Yugi did as he was told and felt Atem stand.
Atem bent over and hooked his fingers through the holes near the rim of the mask that the collar was woven into in the back and with one hard tug, he pulled up with his fingers and felt the cheap pleather begin to stretch and tear.
Yugi caught onto what Atem was doing and held the collar part down as best as he could while Atem tugged. Soon whole mask tore completely asunder from the collar that held it down and Yugi could see again! "You did it!" Yugi stood up excitedly, shaking his hair out and fixing his bangs.
"I almost can't believe that worked," Atem smiled to himself, dropping the offending mask on the ground.
"Now it's your turn!" Yugi chirped and had Atem sit on the floor so he can undo the buckles on the back. This was a little harder to do then Atem made it look since his wrists were bound so close together but he made quick work of the top buckles so it felt like a loose black bag on Atem's head. After that, he found the holes near the rim that Atem had used on his own mask. "I'm going to pull now," Yugi warned.
Atem held onto the base of the collar so it didn't hang him when Yugi tugged. "Ready when you are!"
"One, two, three!" Yugi counted off before tugging upwards as hard as he could, straightening his back and using his body as leverage as he pulled and pulled. Once again, Atem made it seem easier than it was. His own arm strength wasn't as good as Atem's but he was going to be damned if he let this stupid plastic piece of crap get the best of him. The pleather stretched thinner and thinner until it finally began to tear, and soon Yugi had torn the mask off, catching him off guard and making him fall back on his own ass. "YIPE--OW! Itai itai..." he winced as he threw the mask aside and rubbed his sore ass where he landed on it. He then noticed deep indents in his fingers where the plastic nearly tore through his skin as if he'd been carrying really heavy plastic grocery bags for 10 blocks.
Finally relieved of his mask, Atem opened his eyes and shook out his hair before turning around to check on Yugi, "You okay, aibou?"
"Yeah, fine," he laughed. "That feels much better, doesn't it?"
"Yes, thank you," Atem smiled and reached over to fix Yugi's hair since it still didn't look right.
"Noooo, I thank you~" he giggled and reached to assist with Atem's hair too.
Once they were both satisfied, they gave each other the thumbs up and took the chance to look around. The trailer of this particular truck must've been lit because they had a decent amount of light showing through the blue plastic that covered their cage. That would explain why it felt warm in there. Maybe the movers forgot to turn the lights off? Yugi hadn't seen many truck trailers with lights in them because what would be the point? But then maybe this truck was used for a lot of nighttime deliveries. And with the lights being on, Yugi could confidently conclude that it was nighttime. He ran this thought through to Atem and he agreed that the logic was sound. After all, the lights weren't on for their benefit being blindfolded and all.
"I wonder if he'll be pissed to see us unmasked," Yugi mused as he looked down to study his cuffs. They were iron ones made with thick bands that looked almost medieval. Yugi could see bruises that went all around his wrists from the other place they were at and no doubt from being hung off the ground by these things.
"Psh, I don't think so. He strikes me as the type to be just as offended by their cheapness as we were. But then again, I never thought I'd be so happy to have cheap leather instead of the good stuff."
"That's true. Otherwise we would never have gotten free," Yugi giggled.
"Not that it really did us any good. We can see but we can't get out of here."
Yugi picked up one of the masks they discarded, "Well, what do you know about picking locks?"
Just as he asked this, they felt the trailer move and the engine rev up. They had begun to move!
"Well I don't know much, to be honest. Why?"
Yugi showed him the metal stick part of one of the buckles on the back of the mask. "Well that could be a pretty good lock pick. Or at least I'm sure that's what Jonouchi-kun might've used in this sort of situation."
Atem smiled proudly at his partner, "That's ingenius, aibou. It's just too bad I don't know how to pick locks. I'd probably end up breaking the ones we have and then we'd never get them off."
"Yeah, that's a possiblity too. Though they are made of iron. How many sets of these do you think they have if they just gave them away like they did?"
"If they have a lot, that's a very scary thought. It makes you wonder how many people get sold in that auction. But at the same time, if there are a lot of cuffs, then they probably don't all have different locks. They'd want one or two keys to unlock all of them."
Yugi nodded enthusiastically, "Right, and I'm pretty sure the guy who gave Mr. Totawa our stuff only mentioned two keys, one for the mask and one for the cuffs. So if the key works for both sets of cuffs, it must not be a very complicated key at all."
"Maybe we can give this a try after all," Atem smiled and took the mask from Yugi. Using his teeth, he ripped the cheap strap off the back of the mask so that he was left with the part that had the metal pin and buckle loop. Yugi held out his wrists so Atem could try fiddling with his cuffs. Atem held Yugi's wrist band still with one hand while he inserted the pin with the other and started wiggling it around.
The two sat in silence as Atem did his best with the lock but after about the 10th bump in the road that had their butts bouncing on the cold metal floor of the cage, he sighed and gave up. "I don't think it's any use. Jonouchi makes it look so easy."
"It's okay. It's not your fault. I bet the pin wasn't long enough or something. It was worth a try."
"Yes, it was a good idea, Yugi."
Yugi blushed, "D'aw, you're embarrassing me."
Atem chuckled and scooted to the bars of the cage which he leaned back against and Yugi joined him.
"It's been pretty bumpy," Atem pointed out.
"Well I've never ridden in a trailer before, so maybe it's always this bumpy back here? Kind of like the back of the bus always seems to jostle around the most."
"That could be. I was just wondering if it was because we were traveling on a country road or something."
"Hm...well that depends," Yugi started before getting up and lifting the bottom of the plastic through the bars high enough so he can see how big the inside of the trailer was. It didn't look that big. Maybe 20ft, maximum? But even so, it had to at least be about 8 ft wide, which means it could travel on city streets easily enough. "We could still be in the city with this. It isn't so big that the driver would have to use a bigger main road, but then again if our buyer is the paranoid type, he may have told the driver to use a country road."
"You don't suppose he lives way out there like Kaiba does, do you? Far from the city where all those trees are?"
"Gods, I hope not. That'd be a long walk when we escape. Maybe we can steal one of his cars or something. A guy like this is bound to have one or two luxury cars hanging around, right?"
"Do people with luxury cars even bother filling them with gas? Don't they just let them sit around and pay other people to drive them?"
"Damnit, you're probably right. We'll steal a limo, then. How hard could it be to drive one of those?"
Atem paused for a moment, "I think we should just steal a phone and some cash and just call a cab when we're far enough away."
"Aw, buzzkill."
The ride continued for quite a while, or at least it felt like a long time. The longer it took, the more worried they became about how far from home they actually were. To kill the time, Yugi had grabbed the mask again and started fiddling with it to see if there was anything on it they could use.
"What are you thinking?" Atem asked.
"Well, you know I'm not the violent type or anything, but things are looking kind of desperate so I was thinking maybe we could find a way to make weapons out of these things."
"How? You want to pull the pins out and hope they get close enough for you to stab them in the eyes?"
"Well I was considering that but as much as it pains me to admit it, we're a little too short to pull that off. I suppose if we ever got the chance we could just use our fingers," he laughed.
Atem chuckled, "Yes, that's a possibility."
"But maybe we can make a long strip out of this and use it for something later? Like maybe we can strangle somebody with it?"
"That's devious!" Atem laughed. "I suppose you could try, but I don't think either of us are strong enough to rip that thing into a useable piece. We had a hard enough time ripping it from the collar."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right."
"Don't worry, aibou," Atem smiled warmly and nuzzled his face into Yugi's hair affecionately. "We'll find a way to escape. It doesn't have to be right this second."
Yugi sighed and returned the nuzzle, "This all feels like a really bad dream. Do you think they used like silenced tranquilizer dart guns on us when we were going to school? We would've noticed somebody following us, or at least YOU would have. If they even got an inch too close you and I both know the power of the puzzle would've kicked their asses. It must've all happened from a distance. That's the only thing that makes sense. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, we weren't jumped or anything, otherwise we would've remembered by now."
"While that theory does sound like came from an action movie, I'm not ruling it out. I think you might be on the right track. We both woke up with headaches and soreness. We were definitely very groggy but we weren't injured. Tranquilization is the only viable answer."
"Well I say from now on we assume this guy is prepared with tranquilizers, too."
"Right, that means he'll need to be properly taken care of before we escape. We can't afford to leave any loose ends."
Yugi gulped; he knew that look on Atem's face all too well, but nodded, "Agreed."
Suddenly the truck pulled to a halt and they both fell over a little bit. Once the trailer seemed completely still, they straightened up again. "You don't think they'll use the fork lift again, do you?" asked Atem.
"Maybe they will if they don't want anybody seeing us until they're ready?"
Loud beeping from outside on what sounded like gravel answered Atem's question pretty quickly. They were definitely getting another forklift ride. Yugi groaned and pulled the blue tarp down where he put it up earlier and grabbed onto the bars and Atem followed suit.
. . .
It took about 10 minutes for the forklift to lift up their cage and take them wherever it was they were going. At one point just when they thought they were getting set down on solid ground again, there was a lot of wiggling and awkward handling of their cage. When it all finally stopped, they seemed to be gliding on the floor and being pushed somewhere. Yugi and Atem decided they must've been lowered onto some kind of wheeled platform built for the cage and soon they saw the lighting change to something much brighter. Yugi took a peek under the tarp and saw they were being wheeled on marble flooring. The two of them should probably be looking to take in more of their surroundings and make note of any exits but after a lot of wheeling and turning corners, they couldn't possibly keep track of where everything was right now. Apparently this place was freaking huge.
Finally, it stopped and the blue tarp was removed. The ones wheeling them around were two men dressed in butler uniforms. This confused Yugi a bit because they were still in Japan, right? What's with the western dress? In fact the men were caucasian and looked like the stereotypical butlers you'd see in movies. The two men also looked confused as the noticed Yugi and Atem no longer had masks on but were wearing torn up collars. The four just stared at each other for a moment before finally a butler with a mustache opened the door and politely asked them to come out. Yugi and Atem complied and looked around. The room was very large but rather plain-looking compared to the marble-floored area they just passed. In fact the floors in here had blue linoleum and the walls were painted to match. On either side of the cage which was now pushed against the wall were twin-sized beds with white sheets and a pillow, pretty bare looking. There was a door to the right that looked like it led to a bathroom and there was a heavy steel door ahead of them with a keypad lock that the bulters stood in front of. Yugi bet it was now locked so they couldn't escape. Line against both walls near the feet of the beds were also large wooden wardrobes and in the other corner on the left, there was a small cart with covered dishes on it and whatever the contents were definitely smelled good. Yugi tried not to stare at the food but a loud rumble from Atem's stomach made Yugi's growl in kind. Jeez, even their stomachs had a mental connection of sorts.
The butler without a mustache looked them over with pity. Yugi looked at the both of them in the bright light. Yeah, they were looking pretty pathetic all naked, shaved, bruised, and even dirt-smudged though Yugi isn't sure where that came from. Finally he spoke, "We've been instructed to undo your bindings, feed you, and help you bathe to the master's standards. When we unlock you, please do not try to fight us or we won't have a very good relationship for the rest of your time here. We've been assigned to your care during your stay with us and things will go smoothly if we get along. Agreed?"
Yugi and Atem looked at each other. The two butlers were so polite it felt wrong to refuse. Atem sighed and answered Yugi's silent question; these two were not the enemy. The pharaoh couldn't since any malicious intent from them at all and they did seem genuinely kind-hearted to a degree, unlike the scrubs who just acted like robots. The twin duelists turned back to look at the butlers and nodded. The butlers' shoulders relaxed and they both walked forward to unlock the remains of their collars and then unlocked and removed their cuffs. Both teens muttered thank you as they rubbed their sore wrists.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves," the mustached one said with a slight bow and hand over his heart, "I am Mr. Cornella, at your service."
"And I am Mr. Bolly, also at your service," the other mimicked.
Yugi and Atem thought it was only polite to introduce themselves as well. "I'm Yugi Mutou," Yugi smiled and gave a polite bow.
"And I'm Atem," the former pharaoh said simply, just nodding his head.
Mr. Bolly smiled, "Pleased to meet the two of you. You seem like nice boys. I hope we can become friends while you stay with us."
Yugi gave a sad smile, "You act as if we're staying at a hotel, Bolly-san. You can't tell me you honestly expect us to like it here."
Mr. Bolly again looked at them with pity and sighed, "Yes, it's true you two could be in for some rough times if you resist the master's wishes. Even if you comply, I can't promise it will be any easier. But when you are in this room, my colleague and I can guarantee we'll do our best to make things as bearable for you as possible."
"That's if you behave around us, of course," Mr. Cornella chided in. "The master may be a brute, but that doesn't reflect on us, so please don't take out any frustrations you have on the two of us. We're going to be taking care of your every need so the least you can do is make sure we don't regret serving you."
"That sounds fair," Atem said, "But forgive us if we don't trust you right away. We've been promised things before like we'd get to go home, for instance but then we were drugged and sold at an auction and here we are."
"Yes, you two look like you've seen better days. And poor Yugi over here looks like he's going to collapse at any moment. So let's not waste time in serving you two lunch," he clapped his white gloved hands together and indicated for them to get comfortable on the floor where there was a blue rug that Yugi didn't notice on the linoleum. The two sat down without argument. The beds looked so inviting but they haven't been cleaned yet so they could understand why they were told to sit on the floor for now. Mr. Bolly rolled the trolley over and Mr. Cornella picked up the covered dishes and knelt to set them before Yugi and Atem. Mr. Bolly unlidded them to reveal a small cut of steak, thick-cut french fries, and a side of seasoned mashed potatoes. Again, Yugi and Atem thanked the two butlers and grabbed their silverware to chow down. The steak was so tender that Yugi could cut it with a fork and he eagerly raised it to his mouth but then he noticed Atem digging through his food first.
"I promise we didn't put anything in your food, Atem," Mr. Cornella chuckled.
Yugi smiled at poor Atem and took his bite of steak. "It's good, Atem," he reassured and sampled everything so that Atem would know.
Atem smiled back and started eating too. He tried to eat slowly and be polite, but Mr. Bolly's hand on his shoulder made him look up. The old man winked kindly at him, "You must be starving. We'll forgive you if you don't use your table manners." Atem laughed at this and started to eat faster, dipping his steak in the mashed potatoes so he could eat both of the quickly. Yugi was shoveling steak in his mouth with his fork in one hand and fries with the other. Mr. Cornella poured them both glasses of ice water and both teens chugged that too. Neither have realized how thirsty they were. As quickly as they finished their glasses, Mr. Cornella refilled them. Soon both were full enough to slow down their eating and nibble on the last of their fries without the feverish pace.
Yugi looked up at the two butlers who stood before them at the door, "So...what happens next? I mean the four of us have made an agreement on behavior for this room, but what about the rest? What's expected of us? I just want to know what to expect, so please don't leave anything out to spare our feelings. It's just going to be worse when we do find out."
Atem glanced up and gave them his full attention as well and the bulters looked at each other before sighing and nodding. Mr. Cornella cleared his throat and looked a little awkward, "Well for the time being we will clean you thoroughly after you eat. And I do me WE will clean you. Eventually you will be allowed to clean yourselves under our supervision and we will only step in when you need assistance or are not up to standard. The master of the household may desire your bodies, but make no mistake that Mr. Bolly and myself do not. You can trust that we will not harm you and be completely professional."
Yugi blushed a little bit, but having Mr. Bolly here assist him with washing already sounded a bajillion times better than the sponge baths they've received from those scrubs. The way he saw it, they were getting a trade-up in that department.
Then Mr. Bolly spoke, "After that we will give you clean garments to sleep in and we will leave you to sleep until we come back for you at 10 am tomorrow. If we check on you and see you're still asleep, we'll afford you a little more time. We don't want you two to be exhausted before presenting you to the master."
Yugi interrupted with a tiny raise of his hand, "Speaking of which, what time is it right now?"
Mr. Cornella whipped out a silver pocketwatch with a large dial on it, "It is nearly 2 am now. Why do you ask?"
"We haven't seen the sun or a clock since we've been kidnapped. We've been knocked out a couple of times since then so we don't even know how long we've been gone," Atem explained.
"Mm-hmm. We must've been gone for at least a day and a half now," Yugi said as he counted off the hours in his head.
Mr. Bolly cleared his throat to continue and the teens went back to giving him their attention. "We will serve you breakfast in here unless the master says otherwise. And then after that, I'm sorry to say that you will be stripped of your sleeping garments because you will be taken to the Master's office to be inspected. He will introduce himself and tell you what is to be expected of you. When you are stripped of your clothes we will be fitting you each with a collar and leash. You will wear cuffs on your wrists and ankles. They won't be attached but they have metal rings on them so that the master can chain you up to whatever he so pleases. I warn you now that if you misbehave, he will ask us to switch you to collars with shocking capabilities and I can assure you it's not pleasant. If you ever drive him to that point, he tends to be very trigger-happy with the remote."
Yugi's face fell at the thought of wearing a shock collar. That's just cruel!
Mr. Cornella then picked up where Mr. Bolly left off, "What happens to you after that is up to the master. If he's feeling too tired that day, he may return you to our care after explaining the rules to you. While you are in our care, we are required to give you...I suppose you could call them lessons or instruction that you are to practice. You most likely won't have these lessons right away. The master might want to hold off on those for a while since you are both new and rather raw. When there are no lessons to be had, we will let you come outside with us for tea under our supervision as a treat every now and then. We'll even give you tours around the mansion to let you stretch your limbs. There's lots to see, that's to be sure. But when we have other duties to attend to such as taking care of the master's guests or other things around the household, you will remain locked in your room."
Mr. Bolly saw the look on Atem's face and chuckled, "Don't worry, once you've been here long enough and show us that you can behave properly, we'll bring some games and books to keep you two occupied. However I don't think there will be much down time for you for quite a while so you might learn to like your time locked in here. I daresay you might spend most of it sleeping, bathing, and eating. If anything, at least you two have each other. Usually he only purchases a new pet one at a time."
"We're not going to have to be naked all the time when we're not sleeping, are we?" Yugi asked.
Mr. Cornella rubbed at his mustache, "It all depends on what the master wants. When you're under our supervision, of course we'll let you wear clothes. In fact that's another thing we have to do either tomorrow or the day after. We need to get you two fitted for the outfits you'll be expected to wear as well as some casual things. When you are at the master's side, he usually does want you naked, especially when he has his friends over. He does like to show off his new pets. But if he has a theme in mind, then there will be instances where you'll be in...costume."
"Oh great..." Yugi and Atem identically groaned and let their heads flop toward their chests.
Mr. Bolly looked at his watch. "Well since you're done eating, we should waste no time in getting you clean," he said as he straightened his posture and clapped his hands together to get the teens onto their feet, who did so reluctantly.
"I still have questions, though," Yugi protested as he tried to stand on his wobbly feet.
"You can ask them while we bathe you. Chop chop!" he urged as he shooed them into the bathroom by waving his hands while Mr. Cornella cleaned up their dishes.
The bathroom was very large and equipped with two of everything, including deep tubs equipped with showerheads, bidets, toilets, sinks with mirrors, shower stalls, and two showerheads attached to the wall so they can clean themselves while sitting on the benches that sat in the center of the bathroom. The bathroom resembled that of a japanese bathroom where there's a drain in the floor so that you don't have to worry about getting water everywhere. Yugi and Atem took this all in, rather surprised at how many facilities there were considering how sparse the room they're supposed to be living in is. This Mr. Totawa guy must really want them to be clean. They were joined by Mr. Cornella who had taken both his and Mr. Bolly's suit jackets to hang on a clothing rack on the wall. They both rolled up their sleeves and removed their white gloves to replace them with different white cloth gloves from the linen closet that was in there.
Both butlers stepped forward and looked them over. "I think a good scrubbing first, is in order, Mr. Bolly. And then a long soak in a hot bath."
"I agree, Mr. Cornella." With that, they ushered the awkward teens to the benches on the floor and asked them to sit, which they did, facing each other. They watched silently as Mr. Bolly ran both the bathtubs to get them full and Mr. Cornella grabbed a plastic basket from the linen cabinet filled with shampoos and soaps as well as two soft sponges, what appeared to be soft-bristled body scrub brushes with wooden handles, wash cloths, and hair discs that you wrap around your head to keep your soapy hair out of your eyes. Mr. Bolly made quick work of filling the baths and turned off the water before he covered the tubs with their plastic covers to keep the water warm and returning to the teens. Mr. Cornella set the basket a fair distance away before grabbing both the showerheads hanging off the wall and handing one to Mr. Bolly who stood behind Yugi. Mr. Cornella took his place behind Atem and both turned on their showerheads with the knobs on the handles. They aimed them to the side as they waited for the water to warm up. Once they were happy with the temperature, they pointed the streams at the duelists and began drenching them. Both flinched at the sudden hot drenching but sat still and allowed themselves to be soaked. Atem tried to enjoy getting clean as he closed his eyes and tried to imagine that they actually were at a hotel with good service instead of a very pretentious hell-hole. Yugi also closed his eyes and relaxed, thoroughly enjoying the way Mr. Bolly ran his gloved hand through his hair to get all of it wet. It reminded him of being bathed by his grandpa when he was little. At the thought of his beloved elder, a tear did escape from the corner of Yugi's eye and mingled with the water that cascaded down his face. He sniffled but nobody seemed to hear him over the sounds of the running water echoing in the bathroom, which was fine with him. He didn't need to start crying right now. Atem was being so strong for him and he needed to do the same. Once they were completely soaked to the point that their hair laid flat on their heads, the butlers picked up the shower rings and placed them on their heads, pulling their hair through the top so it was completely out of their faces. They each took a handful of sweet-smelling shampoo and began lathering it into their thick, multicolored locks and both boys murred appreciatively.
"So about my questions..." Yugi finally said, interrupting the silence.
"Right, carry on," encouraged Mr. Bolly while he continued to work the shampoo into Yugi's scalp.
"Is Mr. Totawa known for hurting his pets?" the small teen inquired.
"Well...he does punish them with shock collars, as I've mentioned, and beatings. I have seen many bruises on his pets that have misbehaved but I've also seen bruising on those who didn't. I suppose you could say he plays rough, regardless of what you do. I've never known him to be a gentle man. He enjoys sadism, so there will eventually be whippings, though I've never seen him whip so hard as to make the pets bleed. In fact I've only seen them bleed from...the inside and from biting, though those are exceptionally rare. If either of you are injured, we are trained to give first aid and to treat any injuries...even the more embarrassing ones. So please don't hide anything from us if you are in pain, we're here to make sure you don't suffer. Though we do ask when you are with us around the master that you act like you fear us just as much as you fear him. He's under the impression that we are as harsh and tight-handed with the pets as he is. As long as he doesn't suspect anything, we can make sure you'll get what you need. Sometimes we will have to reprimand you or be sharp with you in his presence but I hope you don't take that to offense."
"I understand..." Yugi muttered quietly.
By now the butlers had started rinsing out their hair and ridding of it all soap. One that was done, they started combing it out to rid it of the tangles. Yugi and Atem yelped a few times as their hair was matted in some places from lying down on the table for so long and then having it shoved into a mask. Once that was done, their hair was pulled and piled up on top of their heads and secured with a large clip to hold it in place so that they can now wash their bodies without the hair getting in the way. They both grabbed basins that were sitting next to the bath tub and filled them with water from the showerheads. They dunked their wash cloths in them and left them there to soak while they each grabbed a bottle of deep cleansing soap and squirted a generous amount on their backs. Atem made a face at the cold squirt and Yugi squeaked, making both butlers laugh. They then dunked their scrub brushes in the water and began scrubbing their backs with them. They scrubbed pretty hard at first, getting the backs of their necks and shoulders and under their arms before easing up and then reaching around to scrub their chests. Once that was done, they move in front of the teens to lift each of their legs and scrub those and the bottoms of their feet. Once that was done, Yugi felt pretty raw, but Atem seemed to enjoy it. They were then rinsed with the shower heads quickly and the bulters prepared for round two of cleaning. They grabbed their wash cloths and squirted anti-bacterial body soap into them, lathering them up and asking Yugi and Atem to stand. Both didn't feel prepared for this part at all but they stood after some gentle coaxing and kept still while every inch of their nethers was thoroughly cleaned as well as everything in the back. Yugi bit his lip at the treatment, trying not to make any noise as the cloth scrubbed his delicate areas that were hypersensitive from being shaved. In fact, when they were rinsed, the butlers inspected their lack of body hair to make sure it was done properly, much to the duelists' dissatisfaction. Apparently they were "up to standard" because then they switched the showerheads back on and twisted the head so that it shot a high-pressured stream of water and spread both their legs wide to aim the high-pressured jet at their openings. Atem flinched a little, feeling rather indignified as that area was very thoroughly cleansed. What was next, an enema? . . . Gods, he hoped not. Yugi on the other hand whimpered rather uncomfortably because he did feel some leftover glops of stuff fall out of him as it was dislodged by the water pressure. Mr. Bolly didn't say anything about it though and then both were allowed to sit down so they can have their faces cleaned with the soft sponges. Their faces were patted dry with small towels and then came something neither of them expected. The butlers unwrapped new tooth brushes and made Yugi and Atem open their mouths.
"Er...we can do that ourselves..." Yugi insisted.
"I'm afraid we have to do it for you. The master expects us to be very thorough."
Again, Atem and Yugi had no choice but to comply and they both kept their eyes shut and mouths open wide while the butler's brushed their teeth for them. It was like being at the dentist only very awkward and it felt like it took ages! Their gums were brushed, their tongues were brushed (Making Atem gag a few times as he never bothered with that before), and every little crevice in between was scrubbed. Yugi wouldn't have been surprised if his mouth started to bleed. Then after a squirt with the showerhead in their mouths, they spit the foam out on onto the floor and then given another thorough rinsing to spit again. As if it couldn't get any worse, their arms were raised so that they could have their pits shaved for them and then their faces were inspected for any facial hair. Finally, they were done with bathing and were lead to the tubs to step in and soak their sore bodies for a little bit, which the two of them did gladly.
Just when they thought the butlers couldn't possibly find anything else to clean, they started getting manicures while in the bath, or rather their nails were trimmed to be uniform, smooth, and as short as possible. It didn't take a genius to figure out this was so they couldn't claw at their master. After their feet soaked long enough, they had to raise their feet to get their toenails done too. Atem wondered if they were going to have to get haircuts because their hair looked too pointy.
The butlers cleaned up the cleaning items they used and sprayed down the floor to get rid of all the soap. They let the teens soak for about 15 more minutes before helping them out so they didn't get too pruny and dried every inch of them. After that, they were escorted to the sinks where they plugged in hair dryers and started drying and combing their hair for them. When their hair started to look uneven, Yugi and Atem DEEPLY insisted they do this part themselves and thanked the two before taking the dryers and combs to do it right. Once they passed inspection, they were led back to the bedroom and were both given new sets of blue pajamas and boxers to change into. Yugi was overjoyed to finally be clothed again. Atem was too, but he couldn't help but feel there wasn't much of a point anymore since it felt like half the world had saw them naked by now. The two of them were given more water to drink which they accepted before they finally were given the okay to climb into bed. As they crawled under the sheets, Yugi thought of another question. "When we were sold, Mr. Totawa was given a box that had our clothes in it. Will we ever be given our clothes back?"
"There was a gold pendant too," Atem added. "Is it still with our clothes. I need to know if it's safe."
Mr. Bolly nodded as he changed out of his wet gloves and put his original ones back on, adjusting his sleeves and straightening his shirt before putting on his jacket and buttoning up. "Your clothes are being carefully cleaned since we don't know where you've been. I don't know if we'll be able to return all of the articles back to you as we noticed you had spiked wrist bands and chains on your person that Mr. Totawa would really prefer that you not have in your possession. As for the pendant, it is safe. In fact it's locked in a bedside drawer in the master's room on the left side. If it makes you feel any better, the master's room is across from this one, in fact. It'll always be nearby. I've heard he's grown rather fond of it, so he doesn't plan on getting rid of it any time soon."
Both gave a huge sigh of relief. The puzzle was so close. But the fact that it was locked up posed a problem. They only hoped that the lock on the drawer would be an easily breakable one.
Mr. Cornella finished adjusting his jacket as well and turned the lights off, "It's lights out now. Good night, try and rest, and we will be here for you in the morning."
Yugi and Atem muttered good night somberly and watched as Mr. Bolly typed the passcode into the door and opened it for them to leave, closing it behind them with a heavy thud and a loud click to indicate it had locked.
The two of them stared at the ceiling for a while. Their bodies ached but they couldn't sleep knowing that tomorrow their bodies would be gawked at again, and this time used by somebody else against their will. Yugi swallowed hard at the lump of fear growing in his throat until finally tears that he had been holding back for a long time silently flowed from the corners of his eyes and into his hair, unseen by anyone as the room they were in no longer had any light now that the backlight of the keypad had dimmed from 30 seconds without use. Atem didn't need to see to know that Yugi's courage was starting to waver. His heart ached painfully as he felt Yugi's fear leaking through the link like water through a cracked dam. He'd do anything to keep the sun from rising tomorrow but like it or not, they had to face the man who dared to call himself their master. Maybe if they're crafty enough they can escape before the old man has a chance to cause them any harm. But first, they needed sleep.
"Aibou..." Atem called softly to his partner through the dark.
Yugi swallowed and cleared his throat as quietly as he could so Atem wouldn't know he was crying, "Hm?"
Atem smiled in Yugi's direction. Yeah, Yugi wasn't fooling anybody. "Come over here and sleep with me," he beckoned.
Yugi wiped his eyes on his sleeve and grabbed his pillow before padding on the linoleum floor blindly over to Atem. The pharaoh scooched over as far as he could on the bed so his back was pressed agains the wall and opened his arms for Yugi to enter them and get comfortable. Once their pillows were shuffled around and the two were comfortable, they snuggled into each other and pulled the covers over themselves. Yugi felt almost instantly comforted in the arms of his partner and wanted nothing more than to bury himself in the Egyptian's warmth. Atem gave Yugi a small squeeze as he enjoyed the feel of the teen's body in his arms. The two of them fit together perfectly like a pair of puzzle pieces. It was like they were made for each other, to support one another and balance the other out whenever they needed it most and even if they didn't think they needed it at all. In his own way, Yugi comforted Atem as well. The fact that Yugi had so much faith in him made him have faith in himself and gave him the strength to carry on and continue planning ways to get out of their situation. Had he been alone, there was no doubt in Atem's mind that he would've lost his mind. Yugi began to breathe deeply as he started drifting off to sleep, lulled by the soft steady thumping of Atem's beating heart. Atem stared at the teen in his arms in the darkness until he was sure he had fallen asleep before closing his eyes and allowing merciful sleep to take him.
. . .

The next day when Yugi woke up, he stretched and rubbed his eyes lazily. Crap, he didn't hear his alarm go off. Jii-chan's going to yell at him for being late again. He then reached to the side to wake Atem up but felt nothing. He opened his eyes all the way and cleared his mind. Right, he's not at home. He's in some freaky mansion. But where's Atem? His eyes darted around the room, panicking when he didn't see him and stumbled out of bed, tearing the sheets off the mattress as he was still entangled in them and slipping on the linoleum. Wincing from the impact on his knee, he kicked the offending sheet off and ran to the bathroom area, only to breathe a huge sigh of relief to see Atem in there safe and sound...on the toilet. His face turned beet read and he turned around quickly! "I-I'm so sorry, I didn't hear you get up so I thought they had taken you away or something!" Yugi stammered as he apologized.
Atem chuckled and shook his head. This was just getting silly, but at the same time he supposed it was a good thing that Yugi still preferred to cling to certain levels of decency despite what they've been through. "It's alright, aibou. I'm finished," he told him as he pulled his pajama bottoms up and flushed the toilet. He wandered over to the sink and washed his hands thoroughly in case the butlers had microscopic vision or something. "I'm sorry I scared you, I just didn't want to wake you up."
"N-no, it's fine. I shouldn't have panicked," he stammered some more and turned around when Atem said it was okay. "Have Cornella-san or Bolly-san come back?"
"Not that I've seen. I guess we beat them to the punch," Atem answered as he started combing and preening his hair. He tried to pick a piece of lint from his pajamas out of his lightning-shaped bangs but was having trouble. He growled down at his lack of fingernails bitterly before trying again and finally getting it out.
Yugi was having a similar issue. The pajamas they were provided were itchy in some places and Yugi couldn't scratch for the life of him. So he tried just rubbing his leg against the corner of the sink countertop. It hurt a little bit, but it got the job done. He started fixing his hair too and inspected his face. Light purple lines were beginning to form beneath his eyes and he had a spot of redness on his left cheek that kind of resembled a rash or small rug burn. Maybe it was from that stupid mask they made him wear. It was barely noticeable so he wasn't worried about it scarring or anything. He looked down at his wrists and saw the bruising was already starting to fade but it looked brown and discolored. He saw Atem had similar bruises but his were much darker since he struggled the most in his desire to protect Yugi. They had similar bruising on their ankles, but nobody was going to look down there anyway. Yugi then shook himself for worrying about how he looked. Who cares, anyway? Why should he worry about what that big ugly lug thinks? He doesn't want to please him, he wants to kick his fucking ass! Yugi gritted his teeth in the mirror but then stopped and composed himself. There was no need to waste his energy on getting angry just yet. He needed a cool head if they were going to think of a way out.
It was just then that their caretakers arrived with the breakfast trolley. They greeted them with good mornings, pleasantly surprised to see them awake. They asked if they slept well and the duelists just nodded, not really wanting to answer that question truthfully. For this meal they were served toast, scrambled eggs, and a few strips of bacon. The two ate gratefully but with more self-control than they had yesterday and drank their orange juice. It wasn't too long before they had finished, though Atem noticed Yugi did try to eat as slow as possible to drag out the meal. One butler cleared the dishes while the other ushered the two into the bathroom, first asking if they had finished any business they needed to take care of. Yugi admitted he had to go, but he made the two clear out before he got around to doing it. But of course, there's always a catch. They had to be thoroughly cleaned again in those areas. Yugi seethed at this, wondering if the boss of this place expected their junk to sparkle or something. Having eaten breakfast, they had to have their teeth brushed for them too until neither of them could taste their breakfast in their mouths anymore. Lastly, there was something else that needed to be done, a cherry on the cake, if you will. Actually it was more like frosting because the finishing touch consisted of two spritzes of a strange perfume on their bodies. Once it dried, Yugi tried to smell himself to guess what the scent was, but he didn't smell anything. "What was that stuff?" he asked as Mr. Bolly put the bottle away.
"It's a scent that's only released when your body starts releasing pheromones. It highlights them, I suppose you could say," the elder man answered.
"Ugh..." Yugi stuck his tongue out in disgust as he imagined the old man sniffing him. Atem had a similar mental picture, though he imagined himself punching the guy in the nose.
They were ushered back into the bedroom after being told to leave their clothes behind and the butlers got to work securing black leather collars around their necks, fastening them so that they weren't too snug but not too loose as to chafe their necks. Once they were adjusted, a metal clasp with a keyhole was secured over it so that it couldn't be removed without a key and then chain leashes were attached at the metal loops on their necks. The leashes also had their own little padlocks so that they couldn't be unclipped. Next they were given black leather wrist bands that had metal rings in them just as they said they would and like the collar, they had locks on them so they couldn't be adjusted or removed. Then lastly there were the ankle cuffs. They were very careful in adjusting these, having Yugi and Atem wiggle their ankles around so that they could flex their ankles as they walked without painful results. Once that was all done and locked the butlers straightened up and looked them over one last time. Yugi once again grew very uncomfortable with his nakedness. Never before had he wished so hard for his hair to grow back so that he could at least have some coverage...or some tiny shred of manly dignity. He wasn't stupid, he knew what he looked like, especially now without any body hair. He was every perv's dream in that he resembled a child but had the added bonus of being of legal age. He HAD grown a couple of inches in the past year and was finally starting to develop muscles in his biceps and gain some shape in his pecs and abdomen, but they were very slight changes that he would have to point out for anybody to actually notice. Plus, what self-respecting 18 year old went around bragging about how they finally grew a couple of inches? Nobody, that's who.
Atem couldn't really care less about the baldness, but then again, he didn't have the child-like features that made Yugi being hairless work against him on so many different levels. He didn't need any of that to feel masculine; he's got lots of other things for that. They seemed to meet the butlers' requirements because one of them started to unlock the door. Mr. Bolly took Yugi's leash and Mr. Cornella took Atem's and they lead them out of the room.
As they had mentioned yesterday, there was a door across from their's on the other side of the very wide hallway and the cracked door showed it was definitely a bedroom, and a very large one at that. In fact, everything in this place was really large. The ceilings were really high and decorated with chandeliers, there were massive paintings on the walls as well as big wild game trophies, and every room they walked passed looked like it house at least three small japanese families. While Yugi sort of gawked, Atem's eyes were looking around for any doors that might lead outside. There were quite a few massive windows which delighted Yugi as he finally caught a glimpse of the sun. But other than that, the halls seemed to go on for ages and in so many different directions. How did this man not get lost in his own house?
They passed several more areas as they walked, including a massive dining room, a large and comfy-looking sitting room, what looked like a library, and a drawing room before stopping in front of a large wooden door. This was Mr. Totawa's study and though they were being expected, both butlers knocked twice simultaneously. "Sir, we have brought your new toys for you," Mr. Bolly announced.
A large body shifting around in a leather chair as well as a gruff voice was heard from inside, "Wonderful, bring them in!".
Yugi and Atem were frozen and didn't move even though the butlers had started walking ahead. It took a few insistant but gentle tugs on their leashes for them to finally move, both reaching to clutch each other's hands which had become so second-nature to them that half the time they didn't even realize they were doing it. The study had a cozy feel to it as it wasn't nearly as massive as the other rooms. In fact it was almost normal. It reminded Yugi of Kaiba's office except with more expensive wooden furniture, a warmer color scheme, and dimmer lighting...okay so maybe it wasn't exactly the same, but they both had desks! That's something.
The two of them were pulled forward until they were standing in front of the man's desk and they cast their gazes to the side as they felt the old man's eyes trail up and down their bodies. He grinned lecherously and licked his lips. "Yes, they cleaned up real nice. Really nice," he said in a voice that sounded like he was congratulating himself. "Bring them closer to me," he ordered.
The butlers pulled on their chains and forced them apart as they pulled them in different directions so Yugi standing next to the seated Totawa on the left and Atem on the right. Mr. Totawa inhaled in a way that sounded like a hiss when he saw them up close, his eyes lingering the longest on Yugi but also admiring Atem's body just as much. He rolled his chair back a little and put a hand on both their hips to pull them in closer together and closer towards him so they were both right in front of him. Yugi wanted so much to slap the hand away from his hip as the large appendage felt hot and sweaty and made him feel like he was being sullied by his touch. Atem was the same, and glared daggers at Totawa. Whether he was actually intimidated by Atem or not will never be known for sure, but he did remove his hand from him so grip both of Yugi's hips and stroke his delicate hip bones with his thumbs. The man's hands were so large the tips of his fingers were nearly touching behind Yugi's back as he cradled Yugi's slim waist in them. Yugi willed his body not to shudder at the creepy touches. He wanted to scream and pull away so badly but he was frozen in fear. This guy was GIGANTIC up close. He must've been nearly 7 feet tall and he barely had any neck. His arms were thick and his legs looked like tree trunks and he had a gut to match! The freaky man caught Yugi staring at him and gave a creepy grin when they made eye contact. Yugi couldn't bear it and turned his head to the side in less than a second, making the man chuckle deep in his scraggly throat. "I like these two. I like them a lot. Especially this one," he indicated to Yugi with his head as he continued to stroke his hips. "Do you know the rules, little one?" Yugi shook his head. "Alright, both of you listen up. You do what I say, you do whatever I make you do. With the two of you looking pretty close, I'm going to change up my usual routine. If one of you disobeys me, I'll punish the other and then I'll punish you. Is that understood?" Both nodded and he grinned wickedly.
"I can't wait any more. I'll give them a test run tonight," he cackled with glee.
Mr. Bolly bowed his head, "As you wish sir, so should I cancel your plans with your guests tonight?"
"Oh shit, I forgot the guys were coming over. I dunno, it might be fun to let them join in and break in my new little pets. I can tell the big one is going to need a little extra muscle. Then again...I want to do so many things to this one...alone..." he hissed and leaned foward to lick at Yugi's navel and drag his large tongue up Yugi's stomach, leaving a big wet streak on Yugi's abdomen and making him squeak in disgust with his hands raised in the air so he wouldn't have to touch him. He tried to step back, but he was held firmly in place. Totawa pulled Yugi closer so he could suck on Yugi's left nipple which felt so gross to the teen. It felt like having a floppy wet suction cup attached to his chest and he whimpered inaudibly. Finally he pulled his mouth away to speak, "I don't know...both sound so good and I'd hate to disappoint the guys."
