Chapter 2(I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH)
Yugi's senses were like live wires, picking up even the slightest of movement, something inside him feared this place, but that just fueled the hate he had for it even more. His eyes darted back and forth looking for nothing in particular but yet everything.
"There waiting for you inside." The woman said calmly, and turned to leave. Yugi mumbled under his breath and entered the room without knocking, he didn't like these guys and he planned to make it clear to them. Two men were inside, Yugi instantly recognized the man that had threatened him at his house, and Yugi decided the man looked better covered up in the black outfit. He had short blonde hair and a scar that looked infected and grotesque, he glared at Yugi when he enter appearing not to like Yugi's disrespect, good he thought.
"This is the little monster, sir." The blond man said to the one that was sitting in a chair, the one in the chair grunted and looked up over his papers, it surprised Yugi that he liked this guy even less.
"So this is those deserters son, I see what you mean with his eyes, throw him into training so he can be marked sooner and we can make use of his special circumstances." The man behind the desk said half-heartedly and waved them away. The blond one bowed and began to roughly heard Yugi back to the elevator, Yugi let out a deep growl as the man shoved him forward. The man didn't give him a second look before he pressed another button and they deseeded even further underground, the further they went the more something inside Yugi screamed and squirmed, and it became hard to breath. But Yugi would be damned before he let that man see him like this.
The elevator stopped and Yugi was pushed out, he let out another growl. "This is where you're training, now get going." The blonde man said before the doors closed on him. Yugi bared his teeth as anger ran threw him, and then turned at the sound of another man approaching from behind him. This one didn't look any friendlier than the rest, and he led Yugi away to begin his training.
Mouths had passed and Yugi excelled in there training, he was a natural a lot of the trainer said, he had an unnatural reflex and strength that made it easy for him to pick up on things. He had been trained to fight demons, although he had been trained to use weapons Yugi preferred to use hand to hand and if that didn't work he turned to knives. In all the time he had been here Yugi had seen countless others and many his own age but he got along with none of them, and they all disliked him and that was fine with him. But what really confused him was that so many of them stared at him, and he got the impression he scared a lot of them, but he didn't know why.
Yugi finally completed their training and was taken by the blonde man he had learned was named Ash, though Yugi thought of another name for him, more along the lines of Ass. The blond like usual, pushed and shoved Yugi in the ways he was meant to go, always eliciting a growl or hiss from Yugi. Yugi passed the infirmary, he had been there a lot from getting into fights or being beaten when he decided not to listen to the bastereds orders, and he sort of liked the white haired apprentice that helped him, his name was Ryou and he was a quiet shy person with a very devious under side.
"Move it. It's time for you to be marked." Ass said. Yugi had heard about the mark, it was proof that you had completed the training and were now a full-fledged hunter, the mark was also supposed to help against keeping demon infection or possession out of you. People in white ran around preparing things, there was some sort of magic in this room Yugi noticed, and it was evil magic. The hair on the back of his neck rose and he silently growled deep in his throat at the feeling, he was pushed forward again by Ass and he was strapped into some sort of restraining device. He struggled against it, testing the restraints they weren't all that strong he realized.
"Stand still it will only burn for a split second." One of the people in white said and everyone cleared the room. Something resembling a branding iron glowed a cool ice blue as it came closer to the inside of Yugi's left arm. Yugi braced himself for the burning sensation but it wasn't at all what he expected, and at once he realized something had gone wrong.
Nothing happened for a second as the mark was placed upon his skin, but then a ripping feeling ran through Yugi's body, he ground his teeth together and closed his eyes but the pain only got worse. It felt like liquid fire combined with acid was running threw his blood stream, burning and melting everything it touched. The magic in the mark was fighting something within him, and he and it thrashed around as his nail gouged deep grooves into the metal chair. The magic felt like it was ripping threw his body like a group of starved hyenas at a carcass and tearing parts apart. Yugi struggled to get away from the restraints, as he looked down on himself there was a slight difference, his fingernail had elongated to claws and a tail whipped around his ankle before they both disappeared and then returned again. Yugi was unable to dwell on this as the pain finally become too much and he yelled out in pain as the world around him went black.
His head shout up, he felt it in his heart, a beep and hurting pain, his arm burned slightly. He rubbed at it and looked up at the night sky, there was the scent of blood in the air, the scent of his own kinds blood, and a pained and torched scream filled the air. Unable to get the noise out of his head as the pain in his body intensified, he took to the air and lazily looked for the source of the scream, he came across a tall building that was surrounded by a barrier. He could easily break such a weak barrier but that would bring the hunters attention to his presence, he sighed even though he wanted to help one of his kind that was trapped in there, he couldn't, it would be suicide.
He watched awhile more and another scream pierced his heighten hearing, but this scream of pain quickly turned to one of rage and anger, and the barrier broke. He hovered there in the air, and closed his eyes hoping the one inside would allow him to see threw his eyes.
Yugi's mind was white and the pain from whatever the magic drove something in him mad, and he went with it. He felt something in his mind as if something or someone was asking for permission to enter his mind, a part of Yugi was curious as to who or what this other presence was.
'Who are you?' Yugi asked in his mind as his rampaging body broke free of the restraints and away from the branding iron.
'Who? I'm Atem, tell me little one what has happened to you?' a deep and dark voice asked, but it held a bit of anger in it as well, but it wasn't at him Yugi noticed but at the hunters, and he felt himself greatly like this person just for that reason, but he also let himself be distracted by the voice. Three of the men in white came in and so did Ash. Yugi saw that he was careening a gun and he growled threating and lashed his new tail back and forth angrily.
'On your right, swipe your tail to the right.' Atem said hurriedly but he could only see as far as Yugi could and three darts were shout into his side, Yugi could feel there cold liquid burn in his body like fire he roared in pain as the others grabbed his arms and pinned him to the ground, he withered and struggled in pain as the burning intensified, he glanced up and saw Ash above him as he took the end of his gun and hit him roughly in the head and Yugi blacked out.
Atem was forced out of the little ones mind when he was knocked unconscious, and anger and fear for the one trapped in there ran threw his body, but the barrier was back up and he was unable to do anything.
