Chapter 4

Yugi couldn't help but stare at the two, confused as to what was going on. He had finally noticed that his house, his room was completely different. His first thought was of the Memory World. He looked around the room for a moment before his gaze came back to the two men on the bed. He noticed their appearance and was in complete shock, he barely noticed Atem's lips moving. Only after the fact did Atem's question register. He blinked and looked at him. "Wh-what? What do you mean, Ate? You know who I am."

Atem got up and stalked over to him, gripping his shirt. "Do NOT speak my name without permission." He practically growled at him. Yugi looked at him in shock. His eyes glanced over to Yami as he came towards them. His heart fell to his stomach as he saw the same look of confusion and anger on his face, he briefly noted the change in eye color, but that wasn't important right now. "I won't ask again. Who. The hell. Are you?"

He looked back at Atem. He had never been afraid of him before, even when he was angry, because he knew it wasn't directed towards him. But now, he wasn't entirely sure that he was safe. "You… it's me… Yugi… you don't… remember?" His voice trailed off.

"We have never seen you before." Yami replied coldly.

Yugi's breathing was erratic. "But… how… I-" His eyes were drawn towards the puzzle. The center was pulsing with a dark purple light. "What… what is it… the puzzle! The puzzle did all of this." He reached forward to grab it, only to be slammed back into the wall. "Ah!"

Atem's face was barely inches away from Yugi's. "Don't you –dare- touch that or him. I have had enough of you." He gripped Yugi's shirt and dragged him down the hall. Yugi tripped over himself to keep up.

"Ow… Ate… stop…" He was tugged harder as he said his name. Atem dragged him into what used to be the spare room and over to the wall where there hung some chains. Atem took his arms, chained his wrists and stepped back. "There. Maybe after a night here you will be respectful to those who rule and maybe you'll start telling the truth."

Before Yugi could even speak, Atem turned, his cape whipping behind him as he slammed the door. Yugi blinked and slid to the floor. "What… what the hell happened to them?" He laid his head back against the wall, a few tears falling. His mind raced, thinking over everything that had just happened to him. He couldn't figure out what exactly had happened, but he knew the puzzle had something to do with it, if only he could speak to Yami and Atem. Atem had said they would come tomorrow, so all Yugi could do for now was rest and figure out how he was going to fix this mess.

Atem went back to the bedroom and shut the door, sitting on the bed. Yami sat behind him, wrapping his arms around him and resting his chin on his shoulder. "Everything alright?"

Atem nodded, a tear falling down his cheek. Yami looked at him, confused as he wiped it away. Atem looked at the tear on his finger and up at him. "I don't understand why I feel so… sad. Like… what I did was wrong. He was a stranger who barged into our chambers and addressed me by my name. Both of which are against the laws."

Yami nodded. "Of course." He nuzzled him, tugging him gently. "Come, let me help you forget all about him and we can get to the bottom of this tomorrow."

Atem nodded and turned, wrapping his arms around him. He relaxed into Yami as he helped him forget the events of the day.

Yugi awoke the next morning. He groaned as he body cracked. Sleeping on the floor was definitely not comfortable. He sighed as his stomach growled. He sat against the wall, looking towards the door. He wondered how long it would be before he saw them.

Yami stirred, blindly reaching for Atem in his sleep. When he didn't find him, he cracked an eye open. He yawned and sat up, stretching, looking for his pharaoh. He spotted him getting dressed and smiled. He swung his legs over the bed and grabbed the puzzle, putting it around his neck. The puzzle glowed briefly, Yami's eyes getting darker. He blinked and shook his head before getting up and walking over to Atem, putting his arms around him and resting his chin on his shoulder.

Atem smiled softly and leaned back into him. "Morning, my king."

Yami kissed his neck. "Morning, my pharaoh." He frowned, noticing his eyes looked exhausted and… sad. He nuzzled him, squeezing him gently. "Hey… are you okay?"

Atem nodded, but then shook his head. "I didn't sleep well. I kept dreaming about…" He stopped himself.

Yami nodded, releasing him. "You were dreaming about him." He stated this with certainty.

Atem sighed and moved away from him, pacing about the room. He ran his hand through his hair, tugging it lightly. "I don't know why. I don't know what it is about him that just… keeps nagging me." He turned and looked at Yami. "Do you feel it too?"

He pursed his lips and shook his head. "No, I don't." And he didn't, not now, anyway. If he had been asked a few moments ago, his answer may had been different.

Atem nodded. "Why don't you get dressed so we can get this over with?" He headed for the door. "I'm going to go grab some fruit for our…" He paused. Guest? Prisoner? Neither sounded right. "For him."

Yami watched him closely. "Should you even be doing that? Don't we have people for those kinds of tasks?"

"Yes, but… I am restless and need something to keep busy. I don't mind doing it myself." He left the room and headed to the kitchen, leaving Yami to get dressed.

As Atem walked, he passed by many of the palace servants. None spoke to him nor looked him in the eye. Atem never thought anything of it since that was the norm. However, everyone he encountered were mere illusions, brought on by the shadow magic.

He reached the kitchen and grabbed some grapes for himself as he put together a plate for… for him. He sighed. They were going to have to figure out what to call him. Wait… didn't he mention his name before?

"You… it's me… Yugi… you don't… remember?"

Yugi… that's right. That was his name. He finished his quick breakfast and grabbed the plate of fruit, heading towards the dungeons.

Yami had finished getting dressed and made his way to see the boy. He wanted to get a better look at him before Atem got there. He opened the door and stepped into the dark, dank room. His nose crinkled. The air was stale and musty. He couldn't imagine spending more time than necessary in here. He glanced over the room, his eyes resting upon on the only thing in there. The boy, sitting on the cold, hard floor, was staring back at him with wide, innocent, purple eyes. However, he could see that they held much more than innocence. There was a sense of longing, of pain, and when he matched his gaze, of love.

Yugi looked up as the door opened. He held his breath, waiting to see who would enter. He relaxed slightly as he saw Yami. However, his memories of the night before came flooding back and sadness gripped his heart. They hadn't remembered him.

He walked further into the room, his eyes never leaving the boy. All of the emotion he saw there was quite surprising. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for leaving him here all night, but that was how it was supposed to be. He came closer and knelt in front of him. The boy watched him closely as he moved. As he crouched, the boy let out a breath, saying his name. "Yami…" His eyes narrowed as gripped the boys chin.

"I would watch that tongue of yours. If you keep being disrespectful, you are more than likely to get it cut out." He spoke with a harshness Yugi had never heard before, well, never heard directed towards him. It caused a shiver to run through him. "You are to address me as King. Do you understand?" Yugi nodded. "Good." He released him and stood, turning as he heard a noise behind him.

Atem stood there with the plate of fruit. He had heard everything, and while he knew what Yami had said and done was completely appropriate, he felt the strong urge to hit him upside the head for treating the boy, Yugi, like that. He shook it off and walked forward. "Well, now that little bit has been taken care of, do you care to speak the truth now?"

Yugi took a deep breath and nodded. He would tell the truth, well, the truth as best he could without getting punished. Atem nodded and set the plate down, reaching up to release his hands. He slid the plate towards him. "Eat." He took the plate and started to slowly eat the fruit. It felt like it had been forever since he last ate. Yami and Atem watched him closely, deciding on where to begin. Atem decided to start.

"Your name is Yugi, yes? You mentioned it last night." Yugi nodded in reply.

"How did you get into our chambers so easily?" Yami continued the interrogation. Yugi swallowed and sighed.

"Honestly… I just walked in. I… I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I found myself there." It wasn't exactly a lie, but it did leave out some specific details.

Yami growled. "We are going to have to have a talk with the guards. Someone is slacking." Atem nodded and continued. "Do you have a home; a family?"

Yugi stopped, looking at the floor. Yes, he had a home. Yes, he had a family, however, at the moment, neither existed. He took a shaky breath and shook his head. "No… I… I don't have anywhere to go."

Atem looked at Yami, who looked at him and sighed, turning back towards Yugi. "Then you will stay here." Yugi and Atem looked at him, both a little surprised by this. "However…" Yami continued. "You will serve as our personal servant. You will do as you are told, and you are only to take orders from the two of us. Is that understood?" Yugi nodded. It was all he could do. This would at least keep him close to them and give him a chance to figure out how to break this gods damn spell.

Yami seemed satisfied with his answer and nodded, standing. Atem was pleasantly surprised with this outcome. He stood, offering a hand to Yugi. "Come; let's get you something a little more… appropriate." He chuckled. "I must say I am very curious to know where you acquired those garments, but that is for another time." He let go of him and turned, heading out of the chamber. Yami and Yugi followed suit. Yugi had no idea what was going to happen, but he decided to keep his head down and his eyes and ear open. There had to be a way to break this spell and he wouldn't rest until he had his boys back.
