Roman Light

Shadow King

Meanwhile with 'Shadow'

Cold water was dumped on his nude form while his arms were held in chains to the sides as he was cleaned up and trimmed by women a cloth gag in his mouth to keep him quiet as they worked.

'I'm going to make sure that the guy from earlier knows that these guys went against their orders. I'll even help him punish the assholes,' Atemu thought, with an evil, but mental, smirk.

"Alright, that is enough ladies get him dried off and dressed then taken to Prince Yami's room you have until before sundown ladies."

Shadow growled when the girls started to pull him around as they dried and Dressed him roughly.

They dressed him in a light, thin grey colored tunic with a black roman style cover tied at the shoulder. Sliding a collar over Shadow's throat, they undid his chained hands tying them behind his back and clipping a chain to the collar around his throat pulling him along.

Atemu growled again, but everyone is ignoring him.
The head of the prison was happy when he saw that Shadow was ready to go and he smirked at the precautions the ladies had put on them.

"Alright move it Gypsy." A guard said pushing Shadow forward roughly by the shoulder while another pulled the chain and started marching with the Gladiator on parade through the town making way to the palace. 'They are gonna pay for this when i get free.'

Many people turned to stare at the gladiator was dragged through the city, all of them curious about him but they looked away when he glared coldly at them.

The guards didn't care about the attention, and they didn't notice that Atemu was glaring at their people.

They soon entered the palace crossing paths with a confused Yugi. "Captain, what's all this?" Yugi asked raising a brow while glancing at the gladiator.

"Your brother requested this gladiator cleaned up and delivered to his chambers before sunset," the man Yugi spoke to replied.

"When did he order this?" Yugi asked surprised.

"Just after the gladiator match and before he joined you, Sire," the man replied, a little nervous about being questioned by the king himself.

"-sigh- Why does he never tell me anything anymore? Alright continue, but only two people are allowed to accompany the gladiator past Yami's doors and be silent he might be sleeping in his hideout again." Yugi said the captain nodding as the gladiator was pushed roughly again towards the prince's room.
Yugi watched the gladiator being pushed towards his brother's chambers.

'I wonder why my brother wanted that man in his chambers,' Yugi thought with a sigh before he headed towards his office to work.

'That boy is the king of this place? I can see why they're so distant for being brothers.' Shadow thought, "alright Rex, Weevil you two take the gladiator inside and do not disturb the prince you remember what happened the last time someone did that while he was napping."
The two mentioned guards shuddered as they remembered.

'What happened last time that has them so afraid of waking the prince?' Shadow thought, growling when he was pulled harshly by the chain again.

"Yeah don't want to be the given one of those wacky buried alive in an unmarked coffin with scorpions eating my flesh like the last guy waiting for a knife to kill me through the heart and my organs to be mummified." Rex shivered as both he and weevil tied the gladiator to a bedpost then scrambled out of the room hearing something stir awake under the bed.

Atemu shifted the best he could to try and peek at the being that was waking up, but his damn restraints were too short. Atemu mentally cussed since he had to wait for the person to show himself willingly.

Out popped a white bunny sniffing about then the black rabbit from before and last but not least a drowsy looking prince waking up from a nap it seemed. "Told... 'em no... 'Straits... -yawn-" Yami waved his hand, and the restraints disappeared in a flash of light while Yami grabbed the gladiators hand pulling him to the bed and snuggling up to him like he was a giant cozy teddy bear. "...warm..." Yami mumbled falling back into sleep wrapped tightly around the gladiator who just blinked.

'This kid is strange. He saw me fighting; he knows what I am capable of, and yet he doesn't restrain me or anything else. He even cuddles up to me like I am his giant cuddly bear,' Atemu thought, not knowing what to do.

Atemu smiled when Shade jumped onto his chest, gently stroking the bunny's head.

Pearl soon joined licking Yami's face where the tears had dried and made tracks. "Go... way. Ugi..." Yami mumbled tightening his hold on Atemu.
