Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh...(is it just me or do these disclaimer things get kind of tiresome...I mean everyone knows that none of us are arrogant enough to even attempt to claim that we own Yu-Gi-Oh...because, lets face it if we did then we wouldn't be posting out stuff on here.)
Chapter 2
Dr. Shadii's Egyptian History class was unfortunately over quicker than either Yami or Yugi would have liked. Yami sighed and stood up and noticed that Yugi had yet to stand up.
"Yugi, whats wrong?" Yami asked noting how Yugi was still acting funny and had been ever since that student had walked into the wrong classroom.
"N-nothings wrong Yami." Yugi said as he slowly got to his feet.
Yami gave Yugi a look that clearly said, 'I know your lying to me, so why don't you save us both the trouble and just tell me the truth already.'
Yugi glanced around the lecture hall, his eyes resting on the door at the back of the room for a moment longer than the rest of the room. "Say, Yami is there any way out of this room other than that door?" Yugi asked.
Yami quirked an eyebrow, Yugi's question was...random, to say the least. "Well, there's the teachers entrance which goes into a basement section of the building which has doors to all the lecture halls as well as some storage rooms and an Archaeology lab. We could go through there. Why?" Yami said.
"Good, lets go." Yugi said as he quickly grabbed his brothers wrist and pulled him towards that door.
"Might I ask why Yugi?" Yami asked once Yugi had managed to drag him through the door.
"Because I'd like a little bit more time to talk to you before I disappear again." Yugi said, "I'd like to at least tell you where I've been and what happened to me five years ago."
"Wait, what do you mean disappear again?" Yami asked, panic filling him.
"If I go out the main door to this lecture hall, I'll be gone for who knows how long...maybe forever, but if I can avoid that for a little while I can buy us some time." Yugi explained, "Now, is there any place we can talk where we won't be overheard...or bothered?"
"We can go to the Arch. Lab, no one ever really goes there besides me, and I have a key." Yami said fishing a key out of his pocket.
"Then lets go." Yugi said.
Yami nodded and led Yugi to the lab, once they had gotten to the door Yami unlocked it and the two walked inside before Yami closed the door once again. Once the two had sat down Yami turned to Yugi, "Alright, now I believe you said that you were going to explain some things to me." Yami said.
Yugi nodded, "Alright I guess it would probably be best if I started at the beginning."
Yami smirked slightly, "And here I thought it was best to start at the middle, then jump to the end, then go to the beginning, throwing in details at random unrelated times." Yami said sarcastically which earned him a light punch on the arm from his brother.
"Anyway," Yugi said, rolling his eyes slightly. "I was walking home from school, you couldn't come with me because you were stuck going to that meeting with the track team...something about an upcoming meet. I was about halfway home when..."
-Flashback-
Yugi was walking by an alley when he heard a voice he dreaded.
"Well, well well would you look at that its little Yugi, all by his lonesome without his brother to protect him." Ushio, the biggest and worse bully in his school sneered at Yugi.
"L-l-leave me A-a-alone Ushio" Yugi said as he continued to back away from the bully.
"Leave you alone? I think not, its not often your without your brother. So I say its high time I give you the ass kicking that you are soundly over due for." Ushio said, cracking his knuckles.
Yugi turned on his heels and began to run, knowing that if he could only get to the Game Shop he'd be safe. Unfortunately Yugi only took three steps before Ushio grabbed him and dragged him into the alley. Ushio harshly threw Yugi against the wall, making Yugi cry out in pain. Ushio pulled back his fist and prepared to punch Yugi when, someone harshly said.
"You lay one finger on him and Ra help you it will be the last thing you ever do."
Both Yugi and Ushio turned to see who it was that had found them. For a second Yugi thought that it was his brother, because it looked pretty much exactly like him...but it wasn't, Yugi could tell it wasn't and that became even more apparent when his 'savior' stepped into the light revealing tan skin not pale like Yami's.
However Ushio didn't notice this one, slight difference. "And what will you do if I don't Mouto?" Ushio said before he harshly kneed Yugi in the ribs. Making Yugi double over in pain.
The strangers eyes narrowed. "You will regret that Mortal." He hissed before he lunged forward grabbing Ushio by the throat and harshly throwing him against the wall on the opposite side of the alley with so much force that Yugi could hear some of Ushio's bones break on contact. The stranger then down next to Ushio and for a second nothing happened. Then Ushio started screaming and writhing in pain. The stranger slowly straightened up before walking over to where Yugi was crotched on the ground.
"Are you alright Little One?" the stranger asked.
Yugi slowly nodded his head, before he quickly got to his feet and tried to run out of the alley. However the stranger grabbed his wrist, stopping his escape.
"And just where do you think your going?" the stranger asked.
"H-h-home." Yugi stuttered.
The stranger smirked, an eerie smirk that sent shivers of fear down Yugi's spine before he said, "I think not Little One."
"What d-d-do you m-m-mean?" Yugi asked, his voice shaking with fear.
"What I mean..." the stranger began as he pulled Yugi closer to him, "is that you aren't going anywhere. I've been watching you for too long. Its time for you to come with me." the stranger said.
"No." Yugi said as he began to try to pull his wrist free, only he couldn't get it to budge.
The stranger's eyes flashed and then he said, "Sleep."
Yugi found himself struggling to keep his, suddenly heavy eyes open. But no matter how much he fought it, eventually sleep overcame him and the last thing Yugi saw before he gave up was the stranger smirking victoriously.
-End Flashback-
"And when I woke up I was in a dark room lying on a bed with crimson sheets. I was alone for a few minutes, but then the stranger came back. Apparently I was in his room. He told me that his name was Atemu...and that I was supposedly his mate, and that I was to spend the rest of eternity by his side. At first I refused to have anything to do with him...and I don't know how many times I tried to escape. But, eventually I just gave up, and I submitted to what Atemu wanted. And thats the way its been for the past five years. And before you ask, in Atemu's world being mated to someone is the same idea as being married, except its a...bit more complicated than that." Yugi finished for his gob smacked brother.
After Yami managed to pick his jaw up off the floor he asked, "What did you mean 'in Atemu's world?'"
Yugi sighed, he figured his brother would have asked that eventually, after all he wasn't stupid and it was an odd choice of words, so it stuck out. "Atemu's a demon Yami...actually he's the king of the demons. And from what I've learned since he took me he had been stalking me for months before he took me. And before you say it, there is nothing you can do Yami. Atemu will take me away again, you are powerless to stop him."
Yami gaped at his brother, that was not an answer he had been expecting at all, and then something clipped in Yami's mind. "That was who walked into the classroom earlier today." Yami said.
Yugi nodded, "Yes, and he was mad because he saw me sitting so close to you. I'm going to have to explain to him that you're my brother...otherwise, Atemu might hurt you because of how close you were to me."
Yami looked at him for a moment, but before he could respond there was a knock on the door. Yami was about to go answer it but before he did Yugi grabbed his arm.
"Let me answer it Yami, its him...its Atemu." Yugi said.
A/N: And I think that this should be good for an update, and next chapter will be the long awaited encounter between Yami and Atemu. And, I hope this cleared up the question about this being listed as a 'romance' when Yugi and Yami were brothers...but, if not let me say that the pairing in this story is blindshipping (AtemuxYugi.) Yugi and Yami are listed as the characters though because Yami is a main character in this...Atemu's a bit more of a minor one.
