Entombed

Chapter 4

Zorc was informed that Ryou was leaving, he had been pardoned...Bakura was the murderer, and had been sentenced to life imprisonment.

"Hmm, interesting," mused Zorc after being delivered the news, aware of what's going on here though didn't think it required his interference.

Dartz walked up. "What happened?" Dartz hummed.

"Ryou has been set free. Apparently he had been wrongfully sentenced. Bakura murdered whoever Ryou had been framed for. So, one let out and Bakura is sentenced for life," replied Zorc, giving him the scoop.

"Hmmm. Well, we'll have to move Bakura to solitary then." Dartz noted.

"No, Anzu has told me he has helped one of her patients. Bakura won't be moved," he told him simply, having figured this out.

Dartz shrugged. "Interesting, but okay. How is the guard doing?"

"Hn, it is. Apparently he has gone silent so Anzu is trying to see what can be done," shrugged Zorc.

Dartz nodded. Going back to paperwork, he eyed Zorc sometimes. He was definitely pleased he had caught Zorc's eye.

It pleased him that he has such a receptive partner. Indeed having a co-warden is one of the best decisions made so far in his life.

When Anzu came in, Yami looked at her. "I want to see Yugi." he said calmly.

"I can arrange it," Anzu told him gently, frowning though she isn't sure if he's ready for visitors.

Yami just nodded.

After a few hours, Anzu walked in with Yugi, giving him time during visiting hours. Looking down, he didn't know how to go about this. Anzu would be outside, keeping watch in case she needed to intervene.

"Are you happy with Ushio?" Yami asked, still sitting, saying nothing else, voice devoid of emotion.

"No, you know why I did it," he said softly with a pensively sad look. "I'm doing this to protect you."

"You looked rather happy with Ushio. If he is who you prefer, I understand and will not bother you." His hands were balled into fists.

Yugi reached through to have his fingertips brush against Yami's cheek, "I want to be with you, but I have to play my part of getting on Ushio's good side. In the end we'll be together. I promise. I'm sorry if this is hurting you."

Yami's eyes softened at the touch as he looked at Yugi. "I'd kill him for touching you." Yami admitted quietly.

"Heh, I know," grinned Yugi impishly. "Just give me some time and he'll be dealt with."

Yami blinked, nodding slowly. "I want you...badly." Yami admitted; his eyes hazy.

"You too, Yam," he whispered, looking at him fondly though retracted his hand. "I gotta go, but I'll be back later when visiting hours are open again."

Yami nodded, retreating back into his shell as he went back, sitting by the wall.

Anzu saw Yugi out, giving him a faint smile. It seemed to have gone well. Being escorted back to his cell, Yugi went to go sit on his bunk.

Ushio came in. "You okay?"

"Of course," reassured the shorter male, raising a brow. "Reason why I wouldn't be?"

Ushio shrugged. "So..." he smirked, coming over and grabbing Yugi's ass. "You want some of this seven?" he smirked.

Squeaking out in surprise of being grabbed, he blushed. Keeping up playing his role, he nodded sheepishly. While he is usually stoic, there are times when his emotions come through.
