Okay, I know I'm not the best writer, but can you at least review my story? I was really depressed when I only got one review, which made me even sadder what he wrote… Criticize my writing, 'cause when you do, it makes me become a better writer! Just please, please don't be too harsh. :p

FireFox Vixen, Thank you soooo much! I really appreciated the comment!

And for those of you who read No Kinen Ni, I already told the author that I was inspired by his story to write my own. Sorry if the first chapter is like almost word for word, but it was hard to de-attached my brain from his. But the second chapter will totally be different! I promise!

Sorry it took me so long to get my second chapter up, but I was depressed, and my editor didn't want to edit my story. . Hope you like it! -Kairi

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh nor any of the characters, just mine. If I did own I, then Yami would come back from the afterlife! And Yu-Gi-Oh gx and 5d, or whatever, never were made. (Not a fan of those)

Kairi: Well, the first chapter has been re-updated, meaning all the tenses should be correct. If not, just contact me and I'll redo em! J

Yugi: *Sits curled into a ball on the chair.*

Yami: It's alright Yugi, *Has a arm slung over his hikari protectively and glares at Kay.* I still can't believe you did that Kay.

Kairi: Hey, I'm sorry, all right? Really Yugi, but, I just really wanted to write this story! Please don't be mad. *Puppy eyes*

Yugi: *Glances up.* Your forgiven…. But, you must bake me your famous cookies.

Kairi: O.O Famous? My cookie's ain't famous.

Yami: *Glares*

Kairi *Gulps,* But alright, deal!

Chapter 2:

"He what?" Joey yelled in disbelief. He, Tea, and Tristan were standing a few feet away from the game shop, talking to an officer.

"How did it happen, Officer?" Tea asked, her voice hoarse.

The three of them were off to pick Yugi up for school, just like any normal school day. But when they reached his house, police were swarming it; going into the shop, coming out, then going right back in. It had taken forever for Joey to get a hold of someone to ask what had happened.

The officer, Kato, looked at Tea's sadden blue eyes. "It seems to be that the kidnapper snuck through Mr. Mutou's bedroom window and tried to drug him in his sleep. We found the cloth in the room, so we know that the boy got away from it. And by the looks of his bedroom, there was a big struggle. That's about as much information as I'm allowed to release." He nodded his head to the teens before excusing himself to go to the game shop.

Tears fill Tea's big blue eyes as she looked at her two friends. Joey was looking at the shops broken door while Tristan was looking around, looking like he was trying to find someone.

Tristan looked at someone familiar before beckoning to his friends. "Hey guys, there's Yugi's grandfather!"

A short man with gray hair and a red bandana covering most of it, was talking with an officer, his face had tears streaming down it. He wore his teal overalls with his white shirt with a handkerchief sticking out one of the pockets.

"Let's go." Joey said, looking at the emotional man. "He may need us." The three teens started to make their way towards him, but someone stopped them. All three teens stop suddenly before Joey glared at the figures back. "Hey, do ya mind getting out of the way?"

The man turned around with sorrow filled eyes. "Sorry Joey, but Solomon needs to talk with the police alone." Mr. Hopkins said. Even after coming back from the trip the two men had gone on, the professor still wore his normal, tan colored suit with the red bow tie.

"Mr. Hopkins!" Tea lets out a surprised squeak. It has been awhile since the last time the group had seen the researcher. (1)

Mr. Hopkins smiled sadly. "Good morning, Tea, Tristan, Joey. Well, it isn't really a 'good' morning is it?"

Changing the subject, though they weren't really on one, Tristan asked the older man, "Mr. Hopkins, do you know exactly what's going on here?"

The professor looked surprised. "You mean you don't know?"

"We know some, but not the whole thing." Joey said, casting his eyes away from the professor. Instead, his eyes rested upon the upset Mutou, whose now sitting on a bench outside the game shop.

Tea nodded, tears threatening to spill over her eyes. "The police told us that the kidnapper . . . tried to drug Yugi." A few tears escaped and slid down her cheeks. Ignoring them, she continues, "but there was a struggle and somehow Yugi escaped."

Mr. Hopkins nodded. "Well, indeed that is true; Yugi did escape long enough to call the police. He didn't really tell them much, just his name, where he lived and that someone was in the house.

"The police think that Yugi tried to lock the kidnapper out," He said, gesturing towards the broken door and window. "And when he got into the shop, he knocked Yugi unconscious."

Joey curled his hands into fists at his side, but doesn't say anything. Instead, he kept watching Mr. Mutou, who put his face into his hands, silently weeping for his lost grandson.

All four of them stayed quiet, each of them fixing their attention to something different.

Finally, Joey blurted out, "Do you know if Yugi had the millennium Puzzle with him when he . . . left?"

"Joey, why do you want to know?" Tea asked surprise. The tears on her face have been wiped away. "Why should you care if he has the puzzle when our best friend was kidnapped?"

Joey turned his expressionless gaze towards Tea. " 'Cause, if Yugi had the puzzle when everything was happening, then Yami knows the details."

Tristan's face brightens a bit. "So if Yugi left without the puzzle, then we can get Yami to help us find him! He and Yugi share a connection, so even if they were far apart, they can still 'hear' each other!"

Tea nodded, catching the drift, but having only one problem. "But what happens if Yugi does have the puzzle? Then we won't know have any way of knowing!"

Mr. Hopkins, who has been quiet for the time being, spoke up, "Ah, the millennium puzzle, I presume? The police found it in the shop under some broken glass."

The three teen's expressions brighten up.

"So we can just ask Yami what exactly happened!" Tristan said. "And see if he can help us track Yugi down."

Tea smiles, excitement taking over her sadness. Joey looks at Tristan and Tea before his half smile plants itself on his face.

"But first things first," Joey said. "We're going to need to get the puzzle without the police getting involved."

"I can help you with that." Yugi's grandfather said, wiping his eyes with a handkerchief. He had walked over to the group, unnoticed because the teens were talking with one another.

XxxxX

Yugi blinked his eyes open, his head throbbing. He lifted his hand up to feel the back of his head, but couldn't; his hand couldn't move. Yugi tried harder but the results were the same.

Panic started rising in his chest. The small boy looked down at his body to find himself tied up; rope going all the way around his stomach, locking is arms in place.

Yugi looked back up, taking in his surroundings. He was sitting in, what looked like, an office, with a desk and an expensive looking computer on it. Behind it stood a huge, comfortable looking chair. The desk and chair stood in a huge room with a few more things.

Adverting his gaze away from the desk, Yugi noticed long and black, leathered couches lining three of the four walls. He looked around more, but there was nothing else in the room. Realizing that he was alone in a huge, unknown office, fear pumped into his blood stream.

The small, tri-haired boy tried to squirm, but the ropes were too tightly bound, causing him to be rope burned the more he struggled. It was a good thing Yugi was sitting on the floor, his back leaning against one of the leathered couches, for if he was actually sitting on the couch, he would have fell.

Yugi immediately stopped struggling as he heard voices on the other side of the wall. The voices were talking loudly but the wall made the words muffled. Yugi sat completely still as the voices started coming closer.

The door to the room suddenly opened and the voices belonging to the people walked in through the entry. Yugi watched with big fearful orbs as the two people walked into view, one buff looking man with light black hair, and a tall, slender female. They stop talking almost immediately when they notice the conscious boy.

The female smiled warmly with her red stained lips. "Yugi Mutou, you're finally awake." Her voice was thick like honey and resembling ones of a mother's voice. The guy next to her stayed quiet, though he watched Yugi like a hawk.

Finding his voice, Yugi stammered out, "W- who're you?"

The lady walked towards him, the short red dress she wore rippled with her body; reminding Yugi of touching still water and watching it ripple. "My name is Cassandra Sensamino, but you can call me boss." She arrived in front of the boy and knelt down so that they were eye level with each other.

Yugi swallowed nervously. "What do you want with me?"

Cassandra doesn't answer; instead, she took Yugi's chin in her long elegant fingers. Yugi flinched, but Cassandra held him firmly. She moved his whole head to the left, then to the right, examining the young boy's features. Removing her hand, she then started tracing Yugi's cheek softly with her index finger.

The light touch sent shivers down Yugi's spine. He remained still, watching Cassandra's face turning into amusement from Yugi's reaction.

Out of nowhere, Cassandra leaned forward and rested her lips on his. Yugi jumped in surprise and made a sound in his throat. He tried to pull away by turning his head, but the woman deepened the kiss, keeping him in place.

Yugi was too stunned to do anything, so he kept still, except for his heart racing in his chest.

A few seconds went by and Cassandra pulled away, running her pink tongue over her red stained lips. She smiled at the young boy before standing up and turning to the guy, who never moved.

"Coby, I can tell he's a newbie. So . . . about a week with the girls?" She nodded to herself, and then stopped. "Wait; make that a week and a half. He needs a lot of practice." The guy, Coby, nodded but still didn't move. Cassandra started walking away, but stopped, halfway turning to Yugi. "Oh, and Yugi?" She practically purred. Yugi turned his confused eyes to her. "To answer your question, you're here because I want you here. You are my property, so I can do whatever I want."

"I'm not nor property, nor am I anyone's property!" Yugi replied coldly, his huge amethyst eyes narrow, looking, nor acting like himself.

But Cassandra just smiled. "Sorry to burst your bubble, honey, but now you are. In a week and a half, you'll have the mark, branding you to me, and always will." She turned back around and nodded at Cody. She walked to the door, opens it, and then walked out, leaving Yugi and the man alone.

Once the door shuts with a soft click, Coby made his way towards the tied up boy. The silence of the room was disturbed by his deep, husky voice.

"Hello, Mr. Mutou. Happy ta see me again?" He snickered.

Yugi's face fell as he recognized the man's voice. He stared wide eyed at his kidnapper, finally taking in his appearance.

Coby must have been in his late thirties, early forties, for he has salt 'n pepper short hair. He kept it neatly combed back with gel, probably. The man looked to be almost 6'3 ft and was very bulky. Yugi knew it was all muscle; he remembered miserably trying to get away from him. Coby was a Hispanic, though his skin was lighter than the average man. (2)

"You- you were the one that kidnapped me!" Yugi squeaked out, fear and anger boiling in his system.

The man snickered again as he walked closer and closer. "That's right, little boy. It's an honor for you to remember me, Mr. Mutou!"

"Honor?"

"Mm-Hm the King of Games? Doesn't that ring a bell?" The man said, now standing in front of him.

Yugi let out a squeak of alarm as Coby bent down and grabbed the rope, hauling the little boy up. Being tied up by the rope, Yugi was pulled up as well.

Yugi glared at him. "What does that have to do with any of this?"

Coby shrugged. "Don't know." Using one hand, he positioned the boy under his arm as if he is a bale of hay.

Yugi started to wiggle furiously, trying to escape, but when Coby squeezed hard, he stopped, huffing.

"You know, you're something." Coby said. "You have the looks of innocence; wouldn't harm a fly look, but underneath, you got spunk. I would never have known that."

Yugi decided not to respond; instead, he just looked at the ground with dull amethyst eyes. "What's going to happen to me?" He asked with a defeated like tone, his voice quiet as a whisper.

"You want to know the truth?" Coby asked. Yugi nodded. "Okaaaaaay, but you won't like it."

"I don't care. I just want to know." 'So I can think of an escape plan' Yugi thought, a flare of small hope entering his mind.

"Well, you know how the boss, the lady that was just in here, said a week and a half with the girls?" Yugi nodded, thinking back. "Well, hm. . . How should I put this . . . The girls down there, the basement, are going to get you ready."

"Ready for what?"

Coby started walking towards the office door with Yugi tightly tucked under his arm. "Um . . . going to preparing you for . . ." With this pause, Yugi tilted his head so he can see Coby's face, which is slightly pink instead of its original lightly tanned, and he seemed lost for words.

Yugi cleared his throat, "Um . . . never mind. I don't want to know anymore." He tried to hide the fear in his voice.

Shrugging, Coby paused for a moment, opened the door that stood between them and what stood beyond the other side of the door. "Suit yourself. But I will tell you one thing; while you're here, your life is gonna change, and I don't just mean by being kidnapped, I mean EVERYTHING's gonna change. I'll give you an example; you're not gonna be a virgin anymore." Coby walked through the doorway and closed it behind himself.

What stood before the two was a long hallway. On one side had many huge windows, with long, thick royal-red curtains draping across them, refusing to let even a peep of sunlight in. On the other side, the right side had many doors. Each door was at least a good thirteen feet apart from each other. As they passed the doors, Yugi noticed that they were all different colors; red, blue, green, yellow and orange. They had no designs, no numbers, nothing decorated, other than the colorful hues.

Yugi looked back at the ground and noticed a long royal red carpet, one resembling carpets leading up to a throne in a kingdom. (Like in KH2, the thin carpet leading up to Mickey's throne) The carpet went all the way down the hall to the very end.

It took only a few seconds for Yugi to take everything in and half a second to register what Cody had said.

"Lose my virginity?" Yugi squeaked out, his eyes widening in complete disbelief.

Coby laughed. "Yup, that's one of the reasons why the boss likes to bring teenage boys here. She likes to do it with them." (3)

Yugi started trembling, mostly out of fear, and a whimper threatened to escape his throat. He swallowed noisily and tried to stop his trembling unsuccessfully.

Coby looked down at the quivering boy and noticed his pale face. "Oi, you alright there?"

Yugi shook his head. "I- I need to get out of here!" He squeaked out.

The man didn't say anything for a while, he just continued to walk. He turned to his right, and a yellow door stared at them both before Coby reached forward with his free hand and opened it.

Behind the yellow door, was another hall, very much like the one they were in. Instead of windows, the hall had more multi-colored doors.

Coby walked in and started walking. He spoke softly, only loud enough for Yugi to hear him. "You won't be able to. Cassandra has this place guarded like a prison. She has surveillance cameras and alarms everywhere; windows, every door, and in every room." He looked around and spoke even softer, as if Cassandra was listening in. "One time, this group of boys were plannin' on sneakin' away, but Cassandra caught them right outside their room. Since then, no one has heard from 'em. And do you know how long ago that was?" Yugi made no movement to answer, but his heart raced in his chest. "Five months ago."

Yugi's head started to pound as he continued to tremble. Everything was confusing him; why he was here, why Coby was talking to him- being friendly-, why Cassandra did what she did, and why he couldn't hear his partner. Partner . . . YAMI! Yugi suddenly stopped shaking and shuts his eyes. No matter how far apart they were, they always had a mind connection between them.

Mentally, Yugi yelled into his mind. 'YAMI!' A moment passed, with no one answering him. This time, he screamed as loud as his mind willed him.

A minute or two later, a small dot of white flickered in the darkness of Yugi's mind. The white dot was very small; meaning the connection between himself and Yami was very weak. Even with the smallest of connection, Yugi could still feel his partners' presence, sending a small smile to Yugi's lips.

'Mou hitori no boku!' Yugi yelled in his mind. (4)

The white dot flickered and a voice, so faint, Yugi had to strain to hear the the voice.

'Aibou?' (5) Yugi barely heard the voice say. Just as Yugi figured, the connection was very faint and full of concern.

"Yes!" Yugi yelled in his mind. But as he watched with disappointment; the white dot began to flicker, but the voice sounded again.

'Aibou! Where . . . you? I'm . . . worried and . . . barely . . . you."

Yugi stared at the dot with tears forming in his eyes. They were too far apart for the connection to maintain its hold. But they were lucky to have at least have this conversation.

'Don't leave me, Yami! I'm scared.' Yugi cried out, but the dot vanished. The last thing that Yugi made out is his partner yelling his name.

"Hey, Mr. Muto." Coby said.

Yugi's eyes flash open. Just realizing, Coby had stopped walking and was parked in front of a blue door.

Yugi stared at the door with curious eyes. "What's behind this door?"

Coby reached for the handle and opened the door outwards. "The basement. It's where you're gonna spend the next week an' a half at." A burst of cold air blasted into Yugi's face when the door was opened. He shivers against the ropes that still bind him.

The man started walking down into the darkness. From the light that shone from the hallway, Yugi could make out stairs, then a medium size room at the end of it. Coby called out from the stairs, "Hey, girls! Got some fresh meat for ya!" His tone wasn't soft and friendly as it had been when they were walking and Yugi could sense that whoever was down here, wasn't going to be friendly.

On the edge of where the light ended and the shadows began, Yugi saw movement.

"How long?" A young, melodic females' voice calls up. Yugi tried to squint into the darkness, but to no avail.

Coby continued walking down the stairs, his steps making slapping sounds against the wooden steps. He made it down the stairs and stopped on the leveled cement floor. "A week and a half."

Laughter echoed throughout the room with a different voice, ones that was a seductive purr. "Only a week and a half? Why not a month?"

Goosebumps form on Yugi's arms. 'I don't like how she said that . . . Something bad is going to happen . . .'

"Shut the hell up, Dixie!" A different voice demanded to the second, sounding pissed.

Still positioned in Coby's arm, Yugi fidgeted. He still wanted to get out of here, more, now that he heard the voices. (6) Coby shifts the small boy a bit. "Well, Mr. Muto, good luck." He loosens his grip all together and tossed Yugi further in the basement.

Yugi landed on the concrete floor, inches away from where the light ended. Right away, his skin produced more Goosebumps, but this time from the cold. He immediately tried to sit up, but the ropes restrained him. Yugi then tried to wiggle, praying that the ropes would somehow loosen so he could make an escape.

"I'll be back soon." Coby's voice echo's around the room. Without Yugi even realizing it, Coby had already made it up the stairs. His silhouette figure was in the doorway, blocking most of the light. Nothing could be said as Coby walked out the door and closing it right behind him. That was the last bit of light Yugi would see for awhile. (7)

Kairi: Thanks for reading!

Joey: 'Bout time you re-did everything! You were confusin' everybody!

Kairi: Shush up, Joey. At least I did it! I love my reviewers and will do anything for them!

Tristan: *Slings his arm around Kairi* Well, as long as they review, right Kay?

Kairi: *Blushes* Th-That's not true!

Joey and Tristan: Riiiiiight!

Anzu: Will you boys shut up? Can't you see Kay is tryin' her best?

Yugi: yeah, but she still had to have me get kidnapped… *pouts still*

Kairi: Awww, not again Yugiiii!

1- I don't really know when they last saw the professor… so please don't ask. Oh, and for any of who wants to know, Rebecca stayed home while the grandfathers went on a dig. She wasn't allowed to go!

2- Don't get me wrong, If your thinking it, and you probably were, I'm NOT being races.

3- My editor asked me, "If that's true, then why does she make them go down to the basement instead of just doing it to them herself, huh?" -. - Well, to answer your question, She wants them to be a bit informed on what's going on. And, she also has all these others she has to pay attention to that are all ready experienced. (Explains further along.)

4- Mou hitori no boku means either another me, or other me. One of them. I just really liked Yugi calling Yami that, instead of the English way, Pharaoh. It seemed like the two were more closer.

5- Aibou Means partner. Yami uses Aibou in the Japanese version. 3

6- Please don't ask…. I was having trouble thinking of something to right… so it might not make sense. Sorry.

7- Sorry it's so cheesy!

So what do you think? The second chapter is nothing like the other story! It's very different! So please review! I don't want to write something that no one's going to read… PLEASE REVIEW!

Re-updated. Everything should now be correct, if not, please tell me!
