Not mine. If they were Bakura would have won his duels instead of being defeated by, for example,
a God Card. And Yami would have acknowledged that Bakura had a legitimate grievance…I mean hello,
the Pharaoh’s soldiers committed genocide on his village.

This is AU,

“You
understand then.” Yugi guessed that he did. Ryou seemed to have become even
more vicious in protecting Bakura than Yami’d ever been in protecting him, no
wonder Bakura didn’t want his lover to have an excuse to hurt someone for
stealing from him. It was unnerving to say the least, the idea of having
anything in common with the Tomb Robber, but...
He focused on
his lessons to distract himself from that idea, succeeding so well that he was
surprised when it was time for lunch. The gang gathered round Ryou and Bakura,
making sure that no one had the chance to harass them - or the chance to harass
Bakura more likely...Ryou’d picked up a reputation for being incredibly violent
when Bakura was upset by someone - or even when someone got too close to him.
And the story about the fighter he claimed he’d killed or crippled two years
ago was all over the school so even the bullies were starting to give both of
the white-haired boys a wide birth.
“For the
final time, I don’t mind that Seraph-sama decided to have my scar reopened and
stitched up with garnets. He used his magic to heal me afterwards, and since it
is a scar that got cut up - hence dead nerves - it didn’t exactly hurt.” Bakura
shrugged as he spoke, frustrated enough to actually look directly at everyone,
instead of keeping his eyes cast down the way he usually did. Yugi could feel
Yami’s pleasure at that, mixed with his displeasure at what Bakura was
saying.
“I meant to
ask you yesterday, why were you two at ‘the Compound’ anyway Bakura-san,
Ryou-kun?”
“I got a
tribunal hearing about the drugs Solar forced on Shadow, scheduled for Saturday
afternoon. A tribunal hearing’s probably our equivalent of a civil court case.
A representative of each branch, ranking equal to or higher than the accuser
and the accused and the Sponsors of both sit on the tribunal...it’s almost
unheard of for two Adepts with the same Sponsor to feel the need for a tribunal
hearing. Since Shadow’s my Consort I’m allowed to demand a tribunal hearing on
his behalf, even if he’s an Adept in his own right as well. We had evidence
enough to win, but I forgot that Solar could demand a combat trial against Shadow
instead of me, to determine his punishment.”
“Combat
trial? What’s that?” Jounouchi voiced my own question. Bakura touched Ryou’s
arm for a moment, then answered when he nodded permission.
“It’s
basically a ritual combat. The representative for the Children of the Fallen
oversees it, and victory must be obvious. Seraph-sama did insist that even had
I lost and survived a spell would be cast on Solar to render him incapable of
bringing me into their rivalry. But...” He ducked his head, smiling slightly as
he spoke. “he’d forgotten about my Shadow Magic, and how it doesn’t work right
for testing. I used ‘Swords of Revealing Light’ to pin Solar in place, then
sealed his soul into a card until everything was arranged for his household to
be brought into Seraph-sama’s. We got a live-in maid out of it too, she was one
of Solar’s two concubines, the more confident of the two, and she knows how to
clean leather, so we won’t have to send that out anymore either.”
“We won’t be
able to once we start to Work again anyway.” Ryou pulled Bakura against him,
stroking his hair gently. “I know Solar’s household is small, only two
concubines and no servants, but he’s only five years older than I am, and
neither of us felt the need for personal servants. My household was even
smaller, just my Consort, but I established my household first by claiming
Shadow. Solar took his concubines in direct response to that. Now I’ve switched
their designation to servants, which gives them less status but more security.”
-Aibou, is he
saying that concubines could be discarded without consideration?-
:I don’t
know, I’ll ask.: Yugi didn’t like that idea either. “More security, how?”
“While we’re
expected to provide a ‘dowry’ for any concubine we tire of, enough for them to
either make a good marriage if they choose to or set up their own business or
buy an annuity sometimes, it doesn’t always work out for them. Often dismissed
concubines don’t know how to do things like budget properly and get into
financial trouble. The usual ‘dowry’ is the average of the fee for the last
five times the Adept in question Worked. So if I had to dowry a concubine now I’d
be giving him somewhere in the region of half a million dollars. Servants can’t
be dismissed from your household and must be provided for until they die or ask
to leave. In those circumstances they’re given what a years wages in the same
job would be elsewhere.”
“Oh.” That
sounded reasonable, even generous. “You never explained exactly what happened
to this Solar.”
--0--
“You never
explained exactly what happened to this Solar.” Bakura looked at Yugi from
beneath his lashes at that question. Everyone else had been distracted by his
description of the combat trial, and the mention of concubines. He couldn’t
help but wonder what Yugi suspected had happened to him.
-Seraph-sama,
we could use this to gauge how he feels about us?- It really wasn’t Bakura’s
place to make such a suggestion, but...
:Well
thought.: Seraph seemed to approve, a relief. “Why don’t you tell me what you
think happened to Solar Yugi? Remember, what he did to Shadow left him damn
near helpless. And don’t forget that he was almost raped the first day he came
to school.” Bakura thought that was an overstatement, but he was hardly going
to disagree with his owner. Yugi got that vague look in his eyes that meant he
was talking to Yami.
“Mou hitori
no boku thinks that you might have had him killed, because of what you said
about having his household brought into yours, but if that happened wouldn’t
Bakura have just left his soul sealed in that card?” That was
impressive, the teenager catching the subtle cue in his word choice, a
cue he hadn’t even noticed, and one his other half had ignored to focus on the
other, more blatant, cue. “And I can’t imagine you having him killed, since he
wasn’t attacking you.”
“You’re not
exactly right there. He’s been trying to kill me for nine years, I’ve just been
good enough to avoid it. But I didn’t have the right to demand that he fight me
over this, and that’s the only way I’d be allowed to kill him, or have him
killed.” Bakura didn’t think the teenagers wanted to hear Seraph’s blunt
assessment of the situation, but Jounouchi seemed to understand at least. “What
I demanded was crueller in many ways. He’s...there’s been a spell put on him
that turned him into Shadow’s slave. He still has his mind and sense of self,
but he can’t ever disobey any order Shadow gives him and he can’t ever hurt
Shadow, or even defend himself against him.”
“You’ve left
him helpless?”
“That’s sick!”
“You sure he
deserves that?”
“You’re
leaving him totally in Bakura’s power?” Of course it would be Yugi who’d
mention his distrust of Bakura, while Jounouchi sounded as if he’d accept
Seraph’s decision if he answered yes.
“Shadow is
hardly going to waste his time abusing Solar.” Bakura put a hand on Seraph’s
arm, wordlessly asking to be permitted to explain himself. “He can explain for
you.”
“Solar had
found that I was a vulnerable point for Seraph-sama, he wasn’t going to give
that up, not if he could avoid it, so a permanent solution was required, but
the only way he could be killed over it was in the combat trial - and
Seraph-sama did not instruct me to do so. Yes, even if I’d lost he would have
been bound from using me that way, but without a demonstration of the severe
consequences of using me that way, including the fact that Seraph-sama only
took Solar’s rivalry with him seriously when he tried to harm me, it would have
left the possibility of others using me the same way. We left Solar at the
Compound. Basically he’s living the life a lot of concubines have to live,
certainly that his concubines had to live, except that neither of us
finds him desirable enough to bed - and I wouldn’t be permitted to bed him even
if I wished it - and he’s allowed to Work if both Seraph-sama and I grant
permission.” Bakura shrugged, carefully. “It’s a useful extra source of income.
On another topic Yugi-dono, you should wear the weighted wrist and ankle bands
I gave you at least four days out of the week, preferably all day from when you
wake until you go to sleep. After a while you won’t even notice them.”
“Do I have to
Bakura-san?” He sounded unhappy with the idea, but Bakura knew it would help
improve his strength, and later his ki-abilities.
“It would be
better - but if you’d rather not then I cannot force you Yugi-dono. It is an
easy way to build your strength though - comparatively easy anyway.”
“Compared to
what?” Jounouchi sounded almost insulted for some reason.
--0--
-That’s a
good question aibou.- Yami didn’t remember how he’d learned to fight, but he
couldn’t see how Bakura considered carrying those weights around all day ‘easy’.
They weren’t that heavy, but heavy enough to tire Yugi if he wore them all day.
“They’re a
lot lighter than you’d use for a focused weight-lifting session Yugi-dono, and
it means that you don’t have to take time away from your usual routine to
actively work on improving your strength. When Seraph-sama was first training
me to fight beside him I was required to wear a weighted vest that massed as
much as I did, and that was in addition to doing all the training he thought
was needed.” As soon as he’d spoken Shadow cast his eyes down and fell silent
as if he thought he’d said too much. It was still unnerving even after nearly a
month to get used to dealing with Shadow, even at second hand, rather than Yami
no Bakura. Nice, Ra knew that Shadow was a lot more pleasant to be around than
Yami no Bakura had ever been, but still unnerving, especially how he acted as
if he were inferior to everyone but Yami.
“I’ll be
exhausted by the end of the day then.” Yugi seemed unhappy about that, and Yami
rushed to assure him of his love and support, with emotions rather than words. “How
did you manage to deal with carrying so much weight about with you and train as
well?”
“It wasn’t
that hard. Remember I was used to using Shadow Magic to enhance my strength
anyway, and even then I was as strong as I’d been back when I lived before. It
isn’t that hard for a strong adult man to carry an eight year old boy, for a
while anyway, and even then it would be more the awkwardness than the weight
that would cause problems. It made me stronger and improved my ability to use
ki, since Seraph-sama blocked me from using Shadow Magic once he’d shown me how
to access my ki. Even though I didn’t and still don’t have the same ki-reserves
he has, and couldn’t draw on ki as well as I could on Shadow Magic it was
enough to help. If you don’t figure out how to use your ki to enhance your
strength by yourself within a month I’ll teach you that. But we should start
with nerve pinches and that sort of thing.”
“On that
subject...here.” Seraph raked around in his bag for a few moments before
handing a booklet over to Yugi. “This shows some of the more effective and accessible
places to use a nerve pinch as well as how to locate them. I suggest you study
it as much as you can, and practise if you can find anyone who’s willing to let
you try this out on them.” This was something Yami could help with.
-Aibou, you
are free to test these new skill on me inside my soul room or yours.- It
didn’t matter if it would hurt, and Shadow wouldn’t be pushing this as the
first thing for Yugi to learn if it couldn’t cause a lot of pain from what he’d
said to Hitaka-san, as long as it help make Yugi stronger and more independent.
:Will that
work mou hitori no boku? And...I don’t want to hurt you.: But Yugi’s concern
for him had come second, not first, Yami was sure that once Yugi would
said he didn’t want to hurt him before he worried about how well it
would work - if he worried about how well it would work at all. It didn’t
matter, and Yami pushed the idea from his mind before he answered.
-Aibou, I don’t
mind being hurt if it would help you. And besides, from what Shadow and Seraph
said when they admitted what they were I’ll heal almost instantly in my soul
room. But in my soul room I feel real to myself, and if something works in my
soul room, or yours it will work in the real world too.-
“I’ll test
you on them at the end of the month. I suppose we could bring in Solar to play
victim for you during the test, but in our training sessions you’ll be using
the nerve pinches on me.” Shadow interrupted their internal conversation, still
with his eyes cast down submissively.
“Alright
Bakura-san. I don’t mind hurting you.” That was...somewhat unnerving to hear
from Yugi.
“You’ll need
to practise between lessons. And besides, it doesn’t hurt for long, or really that
much to me. I’ve got a pretty high pain threshold now, it’s something
Seraph-sama had built into me when this body was made.”
-So you see,
it will be fine for you to practise on me between lessons.- Yami wasn’t sure
why he was so eager to let Yugi hurt him, but...if it would help his aibou,
that was what mattered.
:Thank you
mou hitori no boku.: Yami basked in the gratitude Yugi was sending him across
their link. “I will Bakura-san.”

Ryou jumped
down into his back garden, Shadow following him, and quickly checked the
snares, leaving them since they were all empty. They’d been empty every time he
checked for over a week and he had the feeling they’d just about snared all the
rabbits they were going to get from this area for a while, and if he still didn’t
catch anything with the snares by Saturday he’d take them in and store them.
:Shadow, come
here.: He’d found a nice secluded spot where he didn’t think anyone would be
able to see them - and besides, it wasn’t as if Shadow needed to start cooking,
he’d told Rukaiya to have a meal ready for the three of them at five. When his
Consort obeyed, with a delicious reluctance, he pulled the weaker teen into his
arms, and began slowly removing the uniform he was wearing. Shadow froze for a
second, then he began to struggle, just a little.
“Please,
Seraph-sama, not here.” It wasn’t a serious protest, but Ryou decided to act as
if it was. He paused, holding Shadow in place, one hand half inside his pants.
“Don’t worry,
my pet. No one can see us from outside our grounds, and you don’t really think
it would bother Rukaiya to see me making love to you.” Shadow melted at those
words, he was so needy emotionally, clinging to any scrap of affection
or praise Ryou gave him, but Ryou did love Shadow, and he was proud to
have such a beautiful and talented Consort. “And I’ll use a glamor to keep
prying eyes from us if it’ll make you feel better.” It was worth casting the
minor spell to comfort Shadow. He kissed Shadow, demanding that the other open
his mouth for him, distracting his Consort while Ryou stripped him, finally
laying him down on the ground.
“Undress me,
slowly.” Shadow rose to his knees to obey, showing every evidence of pleasure
now that his fears of being observed had been soothed. He started with the
jacket, and then, once he began to reveal Ryou’s skin when he started on the
shirt he began kissing Ryou’s skin as he exposed it. Ryou knew that his Consort
preferred slow foreplay, and lots of build up, because it made him feel loved,
and Ryou didn’t mind indulging him once in a while. Once he was naked he pushed
Shadow back down to the ground again, and took his mouth, exploring it with his
tongue, refusing to allow him any control - not that Shadow tried to take
any control without explicit orders by now. The only thing Shadow tried to do
to encourage him was to open his legs, to make access easier for him. But Ryou
didn’t have any lube with him, and he would not hurt his Consort during
sex. Besides, there were other things they could do, things that were just as
enjoyable for them both.
He nudged
Shadow’s legs a bit closer together, earning a confused look from his Consort,
silencing him with a finger to his lips as he made to speak. Then he turned his
attention to his own position, aligning their hips to give just the right amount
of friction, and thrusting. Shadow gasped in shock, they hadn’t done
this for a long time, and right now Ryou couldn’t remember why not. Shadow had
somehow managed to half sit up, bracing himself with his hands beside his hips,
and Ryou allowed it, only using one hand to steady himself, and wrapping the
other around both their dicks for more stimulation.
Then he
finally remembered to share what he was feeling with Shadow, forcing their bond
open so that they could each feel the other’s pleasure, the way he did when
taking his Consort, and they climaxed together.
He kissed
Shadow gently, and pulled him to his feet, removing all evidence of what they’d
been doing with a routine spell.
“Did you
enjoy that Shadow?”
“Y-yes
Seraph-sama.” Ryou could understand Shadow’s hesitance; he hardly ever bothered
asking whether his Consort enjoyed what they did, it didn’t actually matter how
he felt about it, and they both knew that.
“More than
what we normally do?”
“Normally do,
Seraph-sama? I don’t understand. This is something we hadn’t done for a while,
but you’ve never been unimaginative enough that I could say we normally do
anything. I enjoy everything you do with me, you make sure of that.” He smiled
at Ryou, adoration in his eyes as always and he decided to ask just one more
question before dismissing the matter.
--0--
“Was it
better than when I take you?” Bakura cursed mentally, there was no right answer
to that. Yes would insult and hurt Seraph, and so would no.
“I felt the
same sense of connection with you that I always do. The physical doesn’t matter
besides that Seraph-sama.” His hikari laughed at that, and reached out to run a
hand through his hair affectionately.
“You are
sweet at times Shadow.” Bakura knew better than to protest Seraph’s sometimes
condescending attitude, besides he loved him and didn’t think anything could
change that. “Get dressed so I can drop that glamor.”
It wasn’t
that being naked bothered Bakura - in his time it wasn’t exactly uncommon for
people not to wear clothes at all if they couldn’t afford it - but the reminder
that they’d just had sex in the garden sent him scrambling for his
clothes. He wasn’t ashamed of his body, but having sex in public reminded him
too much of the times he’d had no choice, when his rapists had taken him
without concern for who was watching. All Seraph did was pick up his own
clothes, he would probably fuck Bakura in front of all the Adepts without a
qualm if he felt a need to. Rukaiya made it worse when she greeted them - it
was all too obvious that the only thing she found strange about what had just
happened was that Bakura had dressed again afterwards.
“My Shadow is
very modest. It’s worth putting up with that for what a good lay he is, and
that he always had the potential to be trained as an Adept.” Seraph thought it
was funny, Bakura didn’t, but he knew he couldn’t object. “Let’s take a shower
together,” Seraph was plucking a bit of leaf from Bakura’s hair as he spoke. “I
think we need to get clean, and Rukaiya won’t have a meal ready for a while
anyway.”
Seraph
insisted on washing Bakura from head to toe himself, but he didn’t initiate sex
again, or let Bakura wash him, and Bakura had to fight back his disappointment.
Then, Seraph made a point of getting out of the shower first, drying himself
off, and then holding out a fresh towel for Bakura to step into. It made Bakura
feel as if Seraph cared for him as more than a convenient body, the way most
Consorts and concubines were treated. It was these occasional touches of
tenderness and consideration that had made Bakura fall in love with Seraph
after he’d been broken and given his own body.
Bakura let
his master dress him like a doll in a formal kimono, unsure as to why
Seraph wanted to do that, but willing to comply anyway, and then they did their
homework together until Rukaiya told them that the meal was ready. But she’d
only set two places at the table, and as she turned to leave after serving them
Seraph caught hold of her by the wrist.
“Why aren’t
you eating with us? You did yesterday when my Shadow cooked.” And this morning
they’d been gone before she woke up. Seraph had given her instructions on what
she was to do every week before they’d gone to bed yesterday, the only time
available. They’d left her at the Compound to collect everything she wanted to
keep with her, and had her delivered here mid-afternoon on Sunday. Bakura
suddenly got an idea of what her answer might be.
“That was
before I’d started my duties. I didn’t realise I was supposed to eat with you.”
“Well you
are, so go and get your own plate and cutlery.” Since the meal was all served
in one pot set in the centre of the table that was all she needed, and Bakura
had to wonder if she’d intended to only eat after they’d finished or if
she had something else planned.
“Yes
Seraph-sama.” When she returned Rukaiya kept her head bowed, carefully
submissive, as if she was trying to apologise for her misunderstanding without
words.
“You didn’t
do anything wrong Rukaiya. Seraph-sama is just a lot more generous than most
Adepts would be.” Seraph seemed to be amused by that, and shook his head,
reaching out to lift Rukaiya’s chin.
“Shadow is
being overgenerous to me, but no, you aren’t in trouble. Now, eat some of this
delicious meal you prepared for us.” And it was delicious, nothing like the
sort of meals Bakura had focused on in learning how to cook, and a lot better
prepared than what he’d cooked when he had the food available back in Egypt.
“Seraph-sama,
perhaps we should invite your friends over for a meal tomorrow, I got the
impression that some of them were unhappy about how your household has changed,
and this is very different to anything I know how to cook.”
“You can make
the arrangements then, if you think it’s a good idea.” Bakura smiled at the
casual permission Seraph gave him, enjoying the implied confidence in him.
