Abandoned tears Ch.2:
Sunlight filtered through the small window near the top of one of Seto Kaiba's basement walls. Woken by the harsh light, Yugi sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Owww…" He then noticed the absence of noise in the room. Curious, he looked around his new confinement and remembered the events of the past week. Just as his eyes began to fill with tears for the thirtieth time in three days, there was a small scuffle and a small black dot skittered across the floor at Yugi's feet. With a small squeak of surprise, the startled boy leapt to his feet, knocking some storage boxes over in the movement, and searched for what it was. He sincerely hoped it wasn't a rat as he'd had a bad first impression of them when he was a kid and they'd had a large rat infestation in the shop.
Yugi shuddered at the memory of all those glittering eyes and sharp teeth, and got a good look at the ominous black thing… that happened to be a big black spider. Yugi breathed a sigh of relief, thanking God that he wasn't arachnophobic…unlike his Yami. Yugi chuckled at the memory of when he and his friends had found this out…
Flashback
Yugi walked side-by-side with Yami happily down the streets of Domino City. It had been about a week since Yami had gotten his own body back, and now Yugi was giving him a proper tour of Domino.
"There's the Arcade… and the Pizza Parlor…and were we are is the park… and there's Kaiba…wait." Yugi took a double take and saw the teen billionaire walking towards them. "Oh boy…"
"Hm? What is it, part-um-Yugi?" Yami asked, trying to get out of the habit of calling Yugi his partner and by his real name. Yami followed Yugi's gaze to the rich brunette and his eyebrows furrowed in a scowl. "What's he doing here?" Yugi could feel the power growing in Yami and quickly tried to pull him away before he mind-crushed someone on accident as he had when he had seen Bakura (who also got a body along with Yami Marik).
"Yami." Yugi groaned at the cold arrogance in Kaiba's voice. Too late. Yugi looked up warily at Kaiba as the brunette stopped in front of Yami and smirked down at him.
"What do you want Kaiba?" Yami snarled, obviously still pissed about all the things Kaiba had done to his Hikari. Kaiba smirked even more at Yami's anger.
"I challenge you, to a duel, Yami!" After a moment, Yami replied,
"What? I'm sorry; did you say something? I wasn't listening." his remark earned the teen a sharp whack upside the head from Kaiba. "OW! No! I'm too busy with my Hikari!" Yami snapped, rubbing his sore head and pointed to Yugi, who sweatdropped slightly at Kaiba's harsh glare. Kaiba was about to respond when there was a deafening shriek from next to Yugi.
"YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it away from m-e-e-e!" Kaiba and Yugi both sweatdropped as they watched the King of Games jump ten feet in the air and practically climb a tree to escape from something at his feet.
"Yami! What's wrong?!" Yugi asked as he bent down to see what Yami was so scared over. His eyes widened when he saw what had frightened the great ex-pharaoh of ancient Egypt. A spider. Kaiba burst into peals of laughter as Yugi calmly picked up the spider. "This is what you're afraid of!? It's just a harmless spider…" Kaiba, who had not yet stopped laughing, took the spider from Yugi's palm and dangled it in the poor Pharaoh's face. Yami squawked and clung to the trunk of the park's tree tighter, earning some stares from passersby. Kaiba chuckled as he waded the spider dangerously close to Yami's nose,
"So the great King of Games, one who supposedly saved the world time and again, who fought against countless loonies and duelists and won… is afraid of a measly spider?" Yami pouted, something Yugi had seen on very few occasions,
" Yes." Was Yami's defiant answer. Yugi couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into fits of hysterical laughter as Yami attempted to tackle him.
"It's not that funny! Stop laughing!"
"Yes it is! Hahahahahahaha!"
"You little-!"
"Yami, spider!"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! Get that thing away from me, Kaiba!"
End Flashback
Yugi giggled a bit as he remembered how his Yami had jumped nearly ten feet in the air whenever he saw a spider, and of course Kaiba wasn't helping as he had once stuck a tarantula down Yami's shirt one day. That was yet another reason Yami hated the CEO of Kaiba Corporation. Though not quite as much as Bakura… BANG! Yugi flinched slightly at the noise of the basement door being flung open and looked up to see Kaiba glaring down at the small boy in the pile of boxes…oops. Yugi cringed as Kaiba stormed down the stairs. He had forgotten about those.
"What did you do this time, runt?" Kaiba snarled at him, face full of irritation. Yugi swallowed nervously before answering,
"I… I d-didn't mean to! It just… fell over, it was an accident!" Yugi braced himself for the impact. Then a fist like a boulder crashed into the side of his head, sending the poor boy flying nearly three feet and landing in one of the few boxes that hadn't been knocked over. "Ow! What was that for?! It was an accident, you jerk!" Yugi froze, shocked by his own boldness as Kaiba went menacingly still.
"What was that?" The tall brunette kneeled down until he was at eye-level with Yugi and glared sternly at him. "Care to say that again, runt? Yugi trembled slightly at Kaiba's deadly soft voice that was filled with the promise of punishment.
Yugi swallowed again as he looked into Kaiba's merciless blue eyes. "Um…I…" All of the sudden, a burning anger shot through Yugi like a lightning strike. How dare Kaiba think he could just push him around like that! In this flash of anger, Yugi spat at Kaiba,
"I told you it was an accident! And that you're a jerk! That's right! A cold, stubborn, stupid, JERK!!!!!!!! You may think you can control everyone because you're so rich, but you can't! and I'm surprised that your brother hasn't abandoned you by now considering you're a selfish, cold-hearted, COWARD!!!!" Yugi continued as Kaiba's face grew harder with each word and tears of anger and sadness pricked Yugi's large violet eyes, "So just leave me alone and get outta my life! I hate you, and anything that reminds me of you!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!!!" Yugi then became so upset that he tried to push Seto Kaiba away, but stopped as Kaiba grabbed his hands in a tight grip and squeezed then hard until Yugi was whimpering in pain.
"Don't. You. Dare…" Kaiba snarled in Yugi's ear as the little child attempted to free himself, tears threatening to slide down his small cheeks, "Don't you ever…EVER think of talking back to me again, runt…got it?!" Yugi yelped slightly as Kaiba squeezed his wrists I his crushing grip even harder. Painfully, he nodded. Kaiba smirked and jerked Yugi's wrists sharply until he heard a crack and Yugi's scream of pain as Kaiba snapped his wrists harshly.
"Good boy…" Kaiba let go of the broken wrists and whispered his farewell to Yugi as he climbed back up the stairs, "I want this basement clean boy, got it? 'cause if it's not… well, you don't even want to think about what I'll do to your precious Yami…" And with an evil laugh, Kaiba slammed the door shut and Yugi heard the click of the lock being closed, ensuring no escape for the young duelist.
As soon as he was sure Kaiba was out of earshot, Yugi began to cry in pain. Kiaba had not only snapped his wrists, but had also crushed nearly all that was left of his spirit.
Kaiba walked casually through his over-sized mansion, smirking as he thought of his meeting with his new little prisoner. 'I'm amazed to see he still has some fire still in that tiny body and spirit of his…' Kaiba thought as he entered the Kaiba Corporation Laboratory and walked to a table. 'I guess I'll just have to break that out of him until the little squirt is obedient…and I know just how to do it…' Kaiba's smirk turned into a sadistic grin as he picked up the small object lying on the lab table; a thick collar with the Kaiba Corporation logo on it.
"I think this is going to be more fun than I thought…"
