Chapter 1

Lost and Found

It was over thirty years ago when Domino city began the highly controversial project that was named the Intense Humanoid Project, or I.H.P for short. Scientist took human genes and mix them with various animal genes. The outcome of the experiment was amazing. The first humanoid that had been successfully created was a feline. When the subject was introduced to the rest of the city, the population was amazed. It talked like an human, intelligence that blew away many, but had animal characteristics that many found adorable. It didn't take long before the entire city was demanding for their own humanoid, thinking it was better than a regular pet that they had owned.

Soon, there were many humanoids created, filling the demand of the Domino citizens who had simply fallen in love with the pets. Many had actually fell in love with their pets, some married them and even had children with them, thus, creating even more humanoids in the city.

Five years later, it wasn't surprising to see more humanoids than actual humans. Living their own life due to the fact that one of their parents were human. But, many of them were still artificial, now created to serve their master's every whim.

….....

It was dark and it was raining—hard. The streets of the city were almost empty, expect for those who were still trying to find shelter from the rain, but wasn't having any luck, since most of the local business were closed for the night. But some didn't even mind the rain, the umbrella was enough shelter for them, such as Bakura Touzu; who had just finished his shift at work. Crossing another intersection, Bakura sighed when he saw his apartment complex come into view. He was ready to take of his god forsaken work clothes and relax on his couch.

"Hey, look, is he dead?"

Bakura rose an brow when he saw three young boys standing near an alleyway near the apartment complex, all of them were soaked to the bone.

"I don't know, try to kick it and see if it moves," the second suggested, laughing when the first boy did as he was told, only to cry out a moment later.

"It is alive!"

Bakura snorted and rolled his eyes and continued to walk to his apartment, thinking that the boys had found an old stray dog he usually saw in the neighborhood. But the thought changed when the first boy in the group laughed even louder.

"Who would throw out such a cute humanoid like him? Say, why don't we take it somewhere?"

To anyone else, that would've been a nice suggestion between a couple of nice boys, eager to help out any animal. But to Bakura, he could hear the smirk in that sentence. That sent a shiver down his spine which he didn't like.

Bakura paused before turning, heading back to the alleyway, seeing two teens grab the humanoid by it's arms, the creature weakly protested but didn't fight back. Common scene said it was because of all of the cuts and scrapes that covered the body.

"Hey," Bakura called out to the boys, taking his umbrella from over his head, the rain instantly soaking his head and clothing. "You found my neighbor's pet, the old hag been looking all over for him," Bakura muttered before holding out his hand.

"Give him to me,"

"No way!" the leader yelled, pulling the white haired humanoid closer to him. "I don't believe you, you want him for yourself!"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Hardly, give him to me now," he muttered. Really, he could be in his pajamas right now. Why was he doing this again?

He blamed this on his roommates caring....ness or whatever the word was ways.

"Yo, Rex, maybe we should give him the thing, we don't want no trouble."

"Yea," the third agreed.

Bakura smirked when he saw the lackeys move away. "You heard them, drop the thing so I can get out of this rain," he muttered before stepping closer.

Rex growled before looking down at the humanoid, which looked like it had fainted during the entire conversation.

"Fine," he muttered, throwing the pet roughly to the ground before looking at his friends. "Let's get out of here,"

Bakura watched as the teenagers took off in the rain, soon disappearing from his sight before he looked to the ground where the humanoid was lying—by his feet. The creature's hair was white, dingy due to the mud and what seemed like blood, white ears poked through the tangled hair. As for his clothing, it was thin and brown, heavily soaked with rain and mud. Bakura could also see the humanoid's white tail, lying limply by it's side.

Sighing, Bakura picked up his umbrella and then the unconscious pet before heading to his original destination.

Bakura's roommate, Yami sat on the living room's large sofa, his dark purple eyes currently on a thick brown book. Sitting besides him was his friend, whose black tail was swishing back and forth in annoyance.

"Yami," the humanoid whined, his black and yellow ears twitched when Yami didn't answer. "When is Bakura going to be here, we were suppose to head back to my house like...five hours ago!"

"You know we weren't waiting that long, Yugi. Exaggerating isn't becoming of you," Yami said while closing his book.

"I don't care if it isn't becoming or not!" Yugi cried before standing, stretching out his cramped limbs before turning his large violet eyes on the figure on the couch. "Either you come with me, or I am leaving. I am starving here," he said before placing his hand on his flat stomach.

"Yugi," Yami said with a sigh. "I told you that I can't leave until Bakura comes home, the damn prick had to use my keys until the landlord gives him another copy,"

"Fine, I can wait a little bit longer," Yugi said before plopping back down onto the couch, turning his attention back to the television.

Another ten minutes pasted before Yugi's sensitive ears picked up the sound of keys jingling, making him jump up and smile.

"Yami, he's back. Come on, get ready!"

"Yugi," Yami warned flicking his friend on the forehead before walking to the door, opening it for his friend. His mouth then fell open.

There was Bakura, soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat. But, what caught both Yugi and Yami's interest was the thing in Bakura's arms.

"You have to help me with him," Bakura muttered before Yami could even ask what was going on, leaving Yugi standing at the door, ear flat in his hair and with a small pout on his face.

"So, does that mean we're not leaving?"

"Where in the hell did you find him, Bakura?" Yami asked while he looked over the white haired feline humanoid, bandages covered his face, arms, and legs.

"I found him in the alleyway coming back home, some kids thought it was 'cool' to have fun with him if they took him," Bakura said, now fully dry with a fluffy white towel on his head.

"Hm, well, it's a good thing you did. A couple more hours out there, he would have been a goner," Yami muttered before standing, his tanned hands coming to rest on his hips.

"So, where is he from? He has to be an domestic humanoid, maybe his owner didn't want him anymore," Yugi said with a small frown.

"He is a domestic," Yami said, reaching to push back long white clean hair to reveal three letters tattooed on the back of his neck.

'I.H.P.'

Bakura sighed, reaching for one of his cigarettes from the end table of his room. "Well, he had to come from somewhere, maybe his owner is looking for him. They probably got separated from each other,"

"Or maybe he ran away, look at all these cuts and scars on him, shit I would've ran too," Yugi said while shuddering.

Bakura blinked. "I didn't know you were owned."

"I'm not owned, dumb ass. I was just said that because of what I would do if I was in this guys shoes," Yugi said before standing, grabbing his coat while doing so. "Come on Yami, I'm leaving," he said before leaving the room.

Bakura smirked as Yami stood as well, grabbing his own coat. "He certainly has you whipped. To think, you haven't even fucked him yet,"

Yami blushed before throwing bandages and gauze in Bakura's lap. "I cleaned and wrapped his wounds, they should be fine for awhile. But when he wakes, make sure you change them."

"Fine," Bakura muttered. "But try and see if you find any notices about a lost humanoid."

"What," Yami said with a smirk. "Are you planning to keep him if no one claims him?"

"Hardly," Bakura said, looking at the sleeping pet. "I was just thinking how much a albino humanoid would fetch me if I sold him to Marik,"

Yami eyes widened. "You wouldn't...."

"God, can't you take a joke?" Bakura said while rolling his eyes. He then waved hand. "You better go before Yugi comes in here and starts having a cissy fit."

Before Yami could say anything, both Bakura heard Yugi calling for Yami.

"Yami, come on, we don't have all day!"

"....Shut up," Yami muttered when Bakura began laughing.

It was around three in the morning when the white haired humanoid opened it's eyes, revealing light green eyes. Ears that were stiff only a few hours ago were now turning and twitching in every direction, trying to find some kind of noise in the area.

They quickly stopped when he heard soft snoring.

"....Where is this place...?"

Green eyes quickly got use to the darkness before sitting up, silently crying out when he saw someone sitting in a comfortable looking chair, his white hair which seemed to look like this fell onto the couch pillow. The expression on his face looked troubled.

"...Who is that?"

It didn't matter, he had to get out of here. Slowly, he threw back the thick black blankets and threw his legs to the corner of the bed and tried to stand...only to fall to the floor.

Thump

"....huh? What the fuck!" Bakura yelled, his brown eyes widening when he saw the humanoid he had saved was now on the floor, struggling to sit up.

"You don't have to help me, really, I got it."

Bakura grunted while picking up the pet bridal style and placing him back on the bed. "Like hell you don't. What the fuck were you trying to do? Open up your wounds again?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you wrap them for me?"

"Tch, no my friend is a medical student and looked over you, what happened to you anyway?" Bakura said while rolling his eyes.

The pet looked down shamefully. "Oh, well-"

"What were you doing in that alley anyway? Do you have a name or something?" Bakura asked, completely interrupting the other.

"Um, I don't remember what happened...I can't remember anything, all I do remember is my name."

Bakura raised his brow, silently telling the other to continue.

"My name....the name that was given to me was Ryou,"

Three hours later....

Yami yawned tiredly while opening the door to his apartment, his dark purple eyes heavy with exhaustion.

"Oh, hello, welcome back."

Yami jumped when he heard the kind voice, his eyes widening when he saw the same humanoid he had helped earlier was now wearing a oversized black sweatshirt.

"Y-you're up...."

"Yeah, he's been up since he woke up three hours ago," Bakura said, sitting on the couch, pulling the blanket from his head as he laid on the couch.

Yami hadn't even seen him there.

"He isn't suppose to be up, his wounds--"

"--try telling him that. I swear, he's been cleaning, cooked breakfast, washed the laundry—and even cleaned out the whole refrigerator! I swear he's getting on my fucking nerves!!" Bakura cried, balling back into the couch and pulled the cover back over his head.

Ryou looked down shamefully. "I am sorry...that was one of the reasons why I was bought, I am suppose to be helpful and...."

"No," Yami said with a smile. "Not here, and don't worry, we will get you back to your old owner, promise."

Ryou bit his lip while his white ears flatten on top of his head, his once swaying tell soon stopped. Out of fear.

"But..." Ryou whispered, loud enough for Yami to turn to him, and for Bakura to pull of the blanket off his head to also look at the pet.

"...I don't want to go back, please, I don't want to go back to that awful place,"

That is the first chapter everyone! I hope you all liked it! It will continue promise! Since I am not the only one who will be writing chapters! (smiles)

be a heart and review!

Thank you!

Okay, I want to clear somethings up. Yugi is what I was talking about earlier in the story. Yugi's mother is a humanoid, bought by Yugi's father's family, they soon married, and had Yugi. So, he isn't owned, lilke Ryou---by who I can't say....yet, you will find out soon.

Domestic in this fic means, bred to fufill other's wishes....no matter what those wishes are.

U 2 Too~ you better be happy with this!
