It was early in the morning when Yugi's eye's fluttered open. He went downstairs to get some breakfast. As he opened his door, he noticed that the door to Atem's room was open. 'He must already be up. Maybe he's cooked breakfast.' Yugi thought cheerfully as he went downstairs. upon reaching the last step, he saw his bat had found it's way to the floor. Yugi picked it up and titled it against the staircase again. The way it was leaning against the staircase, it couldn't have fallen on it's own. Some one would have had to pick it up. 'But why would Atem pick it up? I'll ask him' He pondered, as he began searching downstairs for Atem.

Without any luck, Yugi stopped his search to think. 'Where would Atem have gone? Let me think. It's too early for Tristan or Joey to be awake. Tea is at her ballet class, and Kaiba... no, that's just silly. Atem doesn't even like to say Kaiba's name. There is no way on Earth, he'd go to his house. Then where did he go? It doesn't make any sense...' But to be sure, Yugi called Tristan. Apparently, Joey spent the night there, so Joey was listening in on the conversation as well. "What is he missing?" Tristan asked with concern in his voice. "I'm afraid he might be. I just don't know what could have-..." Yugi's voice trailed off as his eyes wandered around the room and they stopped on the box Atem had received last night. It was open. AND in a different location. "Yugi? Yugi you still there?" Yugi snapped back into reality at the sound of Joey and Tristan screaming his name. "Uh, guys.. Can I ask you to come over here for a while?" Yugi finally said. 'It couldn't be... Would it really have something to do with that box?' Yugi remembered Atem sitting on the couch for hours just staring into the box like he was watching a show on TV.

About 10 minutes later, Joey and Tristan arrived. Yugi could tell they were frantic, but then again, so was he. He was nervous that something bad had happened to Atem. After explaining the events of last night, Joey and Tristan looked at the box. "I think I'm gonna be sick.." Joey mumbled. "Yeah, there is some strange kind of feeling coming from this box. It's making me feeling sick too." Tristan confessed. Yugi took the box and he was about to look into it. But the moment he did, He heard a scream. It made him jump. The box fell onto the ground. "Yugi, you okay, man?" Tristan asked. "Didn't you guys hear that? Some one screamed." Yugi almost cried in panic. He got really confused when he noticed Joey and Tristan looking at him like he was crazy. "No one screamed Yugi." Joey said. "Unless it came out of that box." All eyes fell on the box.

Yugi picked up the box once more. This time when he looked into it, he heard "Yugi! Help me! It hurts!" "Gah! That sounded like Atem!" Yugi gasped. "I heard it too!" Joey and Tristan said at the same time. "Atem IS in danger! I knew! He have to help him!" Tears began to form in Yugi's eyes. "But how do we do that?" Tristan questioned obviously a little scared. "I.. I don't know."

Mean while in the world where Atem was. "nnn..." Atem managed to make that noise... and only that noise. He couldn't even open his eyes. 'Why do I feel... so weak?' Atem hardly even had enough energy to think. "Open your eyes Isha-zaki." Atem tried to open his eyes, but to no success. Atem knew the voice could tell he couldn't open his eyes, because right after, he felt warmth wrap around his body. It felt like arms. He felt his energy returning to him. Once he felt all this energy was back, he slowly opened his eyes. By then, his entire body was warm. He waited for his eyes to adjust to the dark, but they never did. Atem, although he would never admit to it, was really scared. It didn't know where he was, or who had kidnapped him. He didn't know what they wanted or what was going on. What ever was around his eyes went away, because suddenly he could see. Not too much was there to see, but some type of strange stone, a wooden cup with what looked like water in it and a cell door.

Atem tried to move his hands down, they were for some reason in the air against the wall. When he tried to move his hands down though, he couldn't. He knew his energy was back so why couldn't he move his hands? He looked up towards his long slender arm and followed it to his arms. He almost gasped when he saw them in chains against the wall. He didn't gasp because he some what expected to be in chains. He had just been kidnapped anyway. But what did startle him was the fact that his chest was bare. He could have sworn he put a shirt on before he went to bed. He looked down further and almost screamed when he saw he was completely naked. "Where are my clothes?" He demanded an answer. He could deal with being kidnapped. But if he had been kidnapped by a sex-maniac, that was a different story. "Answer me!" Atem hollered into the dark cell room. No answer. Atem thought felt a tear run down his cheek. He was scared, and now, if you asked. He would tell you that.
