A/N: Ok, as you can tell from my intro. Fanfiction.net took down this story! The chapter's may not be the exact same. Some of the story was written from my imagination. Please review again if you did the first time. I beg you! I will be posting chapter's two and three as soon as I can get them typed up. This chapter may not be as long so I'm really sorry if it isn't! I won't ask for reviews to equal the next chapter. Because I already got them....Enjoy chapter one...again.
Chapter 1 Whoever said that life was fair?
The world is ruled by many gods. The greatest of the gods makes his appearance from behind the sand dunes which form an endless landscape stretching as far as the eye can see. Ra rises up from the shadows of the night signaling the beginning of another day. For some Ra's appearance is a comforting sight. For others he is just a constant reminder. A commoner can dream freely, but cannot grasp that freedom.
A small whimper escaped from the lips of a boy in the corner of a crowded hut. A spiky crown of black with blood shaded highlights and golden bangs that resembled the sun's rays, decorated with sand mixed with dried blood, was his hair.
"Yugi what's wrong? What happened?" A calm voiced carried the question. It was Jonouchi. His messy blonde hair also decorated with sand fell in front of his honey shaded eyes that were burning with concern.
The boy called Yugi slowly looked up until violet locked onto honey. His eyes were bloodshot and glistening with tears. His face was stained with sand and tear streaks, "They beat me again." Was all he could say before breaking down into sobs.
"Show me..." Jonouchi waited for Yugi to carefully pull up his tunic revealing a back covered in numerous whip slashes, some still oozing blood. Usually seeing a few whip slashes on one's back wasn't a surpise, he had quite a few himself. But this time they had gone too far. Jonouchi didn't need to see or hear anymore. The expression in his honey-colored eyes switched from concern to anger. His hand balled up into fists and he stormed towards the exit of the hut, "That's it!"
"Jou wait, please!" The tone that colored Yugi's voice caused Jou to turn around. His pure innocent eyes revealed how frightened he really was, "Please don't leave me alone, Jou."
The rocked hard expression of hatred plastered on Jonouchi's face melted off and he gently embraced the trembling boy, "I'm sorry Yugi, It's just..." he sighed deeply, "It just isn't fair. It's not your fault you are the way you are."
Yugi let out a sarcastic chuckled, "Fair? Whoever said that life was fair?" he wiped the lingering teardrops that dangled from his eyelashes, "It's my dad's fault I'm like this.
Jounouchi looked down at his friend with a confused expression painted on his face, "What do you mean?" Yugi never spoke about his family before. Was he going to reveal his secret now?
Yugi slowly wiggled free of the embrace and stood up. His shoulder meeting the top of Jonouchi's head who was still kneeling, "When I was born, I was a very frail baby. At first my father didn't want anything to do with me. So my mother raised me as well as she could. As the years past I began to grow stronger but I to my father I was still considered weak. When I was still young my mother fell into a coma...She never woke up. My father took this advantage and started beating me. At first I thought there was no other torture. But I was wrong. When I reached the age of twelve I became eligible to be called a slave and my father put me up for auction. I've gone through nearly five masters. Why they would want me I'll never know. Perhaps they need something to trade or they just want a permanent punching sack. Hironouchi is the worst of all." Yugi stopped and turned around waiting patiently for Jonouchi's reaction.
Jonouchi was literally speechless for a few moments before his voice found him once again, "Yugi, why don't you try to take your mind off it. Today is auction day. I hear the Pharaoh himself is coming to choose his first slave."
Yugi scoffed, "Well, I'm not getting my hopes up Jou. You can if you want to but the chances of the Pharaoh choosing me are as slim as the splinter lodged in the caretaker's foot."
Jonouchi chuckled, "What ever you say Yuge."
(Meanwhile in the Palace)
The High Priest knocked on a gold door, "Your highness, it's time to leave for the village." When he didn't receive an answer he pushed open the door to find the Pharaoh sitting in the middle of his room looking at a necklace with a dragon pendant, "Are you all right, your highness?"
The Pharaoh looked up, "Oh, I'm sorry just a minute." He stood up, placed the necklace on the table and put another pendant around his neck, "All right let's go."
Akkadia: If it's not the same as the other first chapter sorry!
