"Yugi..." Kristen whispered. "Force a smile."
"W-what?"
"If the pirates see you looking like that,t hey'll punish you..." she whispered fearfully, gripping a tray tightly.

"W-why would they care?" Yugi asked indignantly. the last thing he wanted to do was to smile at the very men who captured him and were forcing him to be their servant!
"T-they just do!" Kristen said hurriedly. "Please, just do it, you're going to get me in trouble too."
Yugi pressed his lips together, before forcing a semblance of a smile across his tight pressed lips. Satisfied, Kristen turned from him to begin serving up the men, with Yugi following silently. as he watched her serve the pirates with a small smile, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter towards her as well. Sure she had good intentions to keep him from getting into trouble so soon on this pirate ship, and no doubt, she learned the hard way why the pirates cared if he smiled or not. but her last statement, about how his actions would get her in trouble did bother him slightly.
As he wandered the dining area, serving up food and nodding or smiling at the crew, he couldn't help but glance out and dread hit him like a ton of bricks.
There was no land to be seen, just ocean for miles and miles. He was truly stuck on this ship.

"Oh God..."
"Oy! Boy! Get over here!"
Yugi shut his gaping mouth and looked over at who called him. Inwardly, he cringed, realizing that it was Malik, but deciding to at least try to keep the pirate pleased, he came over calmly. "Yes?"

"Get me some more meat on my plate."
"Y-yes sir." he bowed his head and shifted the platter in his arm to serve the pirate up some more meat. as he leaned over to put it on his plate, the platter slipped in his arms and crashed to the ground.

Everyone went quiet and craned their heads to look.
Malik slammed his hand on the table angrilly. "Look at what you've done, boy! you just wasted at least twn servings of good meat!"
"I-I'm sorry, sir."
"Well, go on, dog!"
"W-what?" Malik smirked, narrowing his eyes maliciously and licked his teeth.
"Lap up that meat like the good-for-nothing dog you are." Yugi stared at him in disbelief and could feel all of the eyes on him.

Before he could really think about what the consequences would be, Yugi said, "Y-You can't be serious!"

Malik leered at him. "Can't I?" he challenged.
Yugi glanced around, hoping to find a helpful friendly face. as it was, everybody stared at him in amusement, save for Kristen, who had her head down.
"Get to it." Malik said, making Yugi's attention snap back.
Yugi hesitated before he shook his head defiantly. "No..." he whispered.
the whole ship went silent and still, Yugi's heart hammered against his chest. "fine." Malik stood and grabbed Yugi's upper arm, "you'll regret not doing what I said, in a few days, you'll wish you had eaten it!"
Yugi felt his whole body go limp, he chanced one last hopeful glance amongst the crew, before Malik dragged him away.

"Wh-Where are you taking me?! Let me go!!" Yugi struggled in the other pirate's grip, not wanting to figure out what Malik had planned for him.

Despite his struggles and protests, Malik carried him off without much trouble. Kristen watched the two before bowing her head. Speaking up in front of all of the pirates would get her in trouble, but when he came back, she might try pleading with the pirate to go easy on Yugi,
Wordlessly, she went over and began to clean up the mess.

Malik dragged Yugi down a hall before tossing him in a room, "I'll come back for you later once I've eaten. you're not worth eating cold food." Malik exited the room, locking it behind him.

Meanwhile, Kay and Kim were in a room together, their hands bound behind them. at one point, they had been gagged, but Kim had managed to free her mouth of the cloth, and had been able to awkwardly help Kay with hers. "Thank heavens for your big mouth." Kay sighed once she was able to talk.
"What are we going to do?" Kim asked worriedly, "I saw how that captain looked you over!"
Kay paused for a moment before saying "They thought you were rich."
"But I'm not!"
"That doesn't matter." Kay said turning to look at her, "your skin gives it away, they think you're inside a lot because you can afford to."
"I still have a lot of burn scars on my arms if they were to look." Kim protested. "Kay, what are you getting at?"
"I'm saying...what if we tell the captain that you are indeed a lost daughter of a noble. and that they would pay a lot of money for your safe return, bonus points if we're not harmed." Kay explained
"He's going to find out though. besides, what family name can I give him?"
Kay thought about it for a few minutes, before a name popped up.
"The Reiss family, the old man has some kind of memory problem anyway. And all of his children are away in the big cities, if you were presented to him, he more than likely would think you are one of his daughters, you and Krista look a lot a like anyway."
"Krista has blonde hair."
"but you still have the big eyes, pale skin, and fragile faces. Come on Kim, it's our best bet!" Kay was beginning to lose patience with Kim's doubt. "I'm telling you, the Reiss family more than likely will back us up, and all we have to do is convince the captain that you are indeed important. He wouldn't be stupid enough to hurt you, if it meant he gets a lot of money."
'But what about you?"
"Make a demand that you don't want me hurt. Please Kim...you're our best hope at this point."
Kim took a deep breath and nodded. "Ok. I'll do it," she agreed.

Kay breathed a small sigh of relief. "And I'll back you up. Hell, feel free to tell them I'm one of oyur maids or something." Kim snorted a laugh.
"Please, they'll ask why I have such a pretty maid." Kay rolled her eyes.
"Who the hell cares?! I'm a maid! That's a step up from my job, I'm sure."
"Weird time for a sense of humor, Kay."
"Beats crying," she said dryly.

Kim sighed, knowing there was truth in what she said. Some more awkward silence passed as they each thought about what they would tell the captain and how they'd be able to pull off this grand lie. After a while, Kim mumbled, "I hope Yugi is alright..."
"Don't worry about him," Kay told her friend. "He spent a lot of his time being pushed around by those men at the docks and managed to pull through. I'm sure he'll find a way to cope with these pirates."
"It's not that I don't think he can cope, Kay. It's just... Oh, I don't know. These pirates are vicious. I can only imagine what they would do if they got angry at him, or us for that matter."

Kay grimaced a bit. "I know what you mean...but we have to try not to think of that, or we'll both regret it, I'm sure. Thinking about what we can't change or control is dangerous right now. We need to focus on how to survive and how we can escape."

"Yeah... You're right."
A few more seconds passed before they heard someone opening the door. Frowning, Kim thought, 'Well, here we go. Let's see what happens.'

The two girls looked at the door expectantly, not at all surprised to see the Captain.
"Hm, I see they didn't bother to gag you." he remarked, looking them over.
"we promised to be super quiet." Kim said, sarcasm lacing her words. Bakura tilted his head a bit, studying her, before a smile graced his lips.

"Is that right?" He purred.
"Yes, because we plan to do whatever you say," kay said icily, rolling her eyes a bit. "Honestly, i would think you'd know better than to treat the daughter of a nobleman better than this!"

A look of surprise crossed his face, before it was replaced immediately by suspicion. "Nobleman huh?" he said and knelt down to study Kim's face.
"yes," Kay said calmly.
Bakura gripped Kim's chin, tilting her face side to side. "Hm. I'm almost inclined to believe you, but you look a bit thin to be the daughter of a nobleman." he said
"that's kind of rude to say." Kim said flatly attempting to jerk her face from his hands. She tried to think of how Kaiba had treated them like he was above them all, so she wanted to replicate that.

Kay scowled at him. "How dare you disrespect milady!"
"When my father learns of what you've done, you and your wretched crew will rot in jail forever!" Kim snarled, narrowing her eyes at him, and praying her act was convincing.

BAkura watched her with mild amusement, "My dear, your dear father wouldn't dare risk putting me in jail." he said kneeling down to her eye level "If he wants you back, he'll obey my demands. I'm in control here, not you."
his hand reached forward and touched her cheek. Kim flinched back, "Don't touch milady." Kay snapped.

Bakura paused and looked over at Kay with a cruel smile. "Oh? Then perhaps you'll take her place?" he purred, licking his lips and she grimaced in disgust.

"I don't want you to touch her at all." Kim snapped, "she's my maid."
Bakura laughed a little bit at her, "And how do I benefit from this my lady?" he asked, putting a mocking emphasis on the last two words. "I'm guessing you're saying I shouldn't touch you based on your status, but your servant is fair game."
"No, she's not." Kim hissed. "If you want any sort of compensation, you'll not touch either of us."
