Atem,Joey,Tea and Tristan walked all through the night, they were all exhausted and lazily drug their tired bodies to keep going, even the mighty pharaoh was wilting in the sun. "I don't know how were going to find him, this wind keeps blowing over the tracks that the wagon left." Tristan said getting irritated. "Yeah, are you sure you don't know about any slave trade markets close to here Atem?" Joey asked. "Sadly I do not Joey." Atem looked to the ground in deep thought. "Hey, look what I found you guys.." Tea picked up a sandle that was burried by sand. "Could itbe Yugi's?" Atem turned to answer Tristan's question, but something over Tristan's shoulder caught his attention.

There, walking towards the rising sun was the same cart that pulled Yugi along with it as if he were an item, and object of no use. Atem gasped and pointed, "There they are!" they turned and saw the guard whip Yugi to make stand. They all started running towards them. "Yug-!" Joey's mouth was covered by Atem as he pulled him down to the sand dune with everyone else to hide from the merchant and guard. "What are you guys doin'? hes right there! Lets get him and take him home!" he whispered, rather loud.

"I don't think it'll be that easy Joey…we have to follow them until they stop to rest." Tea said, Atem nodded in agreement, "She is right, it would be easier to rescue Yugi if we had time to cut the rope..dont you agree?" Atem asked as he smiled at Joey, "Nehh, I guess so." They all poked their heads up from the dune and saw they were a head of them, that was when they decided to make their move and follow the travelers.

A few miles of following, Tea saw a king cobra as it slithered towards them and screamed, in an attempt to keep Tea quiet, all three boys covered her mouth and fell to the sand. Yugi turned at the sound as did the guard. "Who's there?" he asked as he drew his sword, he looked around but saw nobody, drew his sword back in its holster and continued. 'That sounded a lot like Tea..' Yugi thought as they kept walking, taking a glance back at the sand dunes, he saw four familiar faces pop over the dune. He gasped and the guard whipped the ground beside Yugi as a warning, "What are you looking at slave?" the fear inYugi's eyes grew afraid that his looking would get the other caught, "N-nothing, I just saw a snake go by.." The guard smirked and continued to ride next to the boy. "Man, Yugi's not lookin to good guys," Joey stated as they looked upon their friend who was sluggishly falling behind the wagon, struggling to keep up as his legs kept giving away due to lack of food and water. "Yes, we must act quickly if we want to save Yugi in time." Tristan said, "Hopefully they stop soon, or we'll have to go to plan 'B'. "

Finally after a day of following the wagon, they came upon a small remote city. The wagon took Yugi to a tent and was being put up for auction for the next day. "There's no way they are gunna auction MY little buddy off like some prize!" Joey said, "Yes, I know Joey, but we must wait a little longer." The three teens looked at Atem curiously, he tilted his head towards them with a smirk, "I have a plan, do not worry we will get Yugi back with out cause much of an uproar." They all peered into the tent that occupied slaves that were also up for auction, but there in the corner was Yugi, knees drawn up to his chest with his arms crossed on top of his knees and his head resting on them, if you looked closely, you could see small tears streaming down his face. 'Please do not be sad Yugi, were right here and were going to rescue you, then you and I will be together forever, even if it means resigning as Pharaoh.' Atem closed his eyes in content, and reopened them as he peeked in at Yugi one last time and saw him awake, the moon was shining through a hole in the tent, onto Yugi's face and made his eyes sparkle like amethyst diamonds. After watching him fall asleep, Atem joined the others and went to bed also. 'Don't worry my love you'll be home soon.'
