Okay, so maybe Yugi isn't as submissive as I thought he would be. Dang it! Why can't I write a submissive Yugi? Well, anyway, I do not own Yugioh, enjoy!
Chapter 6
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Open it!" a voice yelled as Yugi huddled in towards Atem.
"It's impossible, without the right key number, it's impossible." A voice shouted back.
"Then make it possible!" the first voice yelled again.
"We got it! Come here you little runt!" a voice shouted further down the hallway.
"'KEIFA!" Ryou's voice screamed in pure terror, though it wasn't of the demon, it was for the demon.
Yugi attempted to climb out of Atem's embrace and try to find the door but his bare hips were grabbed and he was pulled back against Atem. Yugi struggled, against the hold, but Atem only held him tighter.
"Don't underestimate my brother Yugi, he'll get Ryou back, or die trying." Atem whispered in his ear.
"Good job, now get the other two doors open!" the first voice yelled.
"'KEIFA!" Ryou screamed again.
"Shut up you little maggot!" a third voice shouted which was accompanied by a smacking sound.
"RY-!" Malik started to say in the hallway but was quickly silenced by a slamming of a door.
There was a sound of something being dropped, and Yugi could only wince knowing it was probably Ryou. Accompanied with the near silence there was a sound of slow movement upon the surface of the ground. If Yugi didn't know that Atem was right behind him holding him in place, he would've thought it was him.
"What's that sound?" the second voice asked.
"I don't know but it's getting closer." The third voice responded.
"Wait, he's not screaming anymore." A fourth voice said.
"Akeifa, Akeifa, Akeifa." Ryou was saying just loud enough for Yugi to hear, he must have been right outside his door. Yugi could quickly open the door and grab him, and then Bakura could just join them in this room.
"No Yugi, this is Bakura's problem. Only he's meant to fix it." Atem whispered in his ear, tightening his hold.
"He's reaching out to the sound, HE'S REACHING OUT TO IT!" the third voice yelled.
"Grab him, and let's get out of here!" the second voice yelled
"No, you need to open these two doors!" The first voice yelled.
"We'll do it tomorrow; I doubt they're going anywhere." The third voice said.
"Yeah, they've been in here for six days already, on more won't kill them!" the second voice agreed.
"Come on, let's get out of here!" the fourth voice shouted.
"NO, 'KEIFA!" Ryou screamed. There was a sudden rush of sound.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
"'KEIFA!" Ryou screamed again but was much further away.
HIIISSSsssssss!
"Oh Kami! It's a freaking Naga!" the third voice shouted.
"My brothers true form." Atem whispered making Yugi shudder.
"Quick! Get him into the room!" the second voice yelled.
"'KEI-!" Ryou cry for the demon was cut short by a slamming door. There was a double sigh of relief.
"Made it." the second voice said.
"Good, he doesssn't need to sssee thisss anyway." Akeifa spoke.
There was two petrified screams, and then silence reigned. Ryou wasn't screaming anymore, and Yugi didn't know if it was because he was already gone, or something else was preventing him. Yugi heard something scrape against the outside of his door, as well as a body sounding as if it was shifting slightly.
"Ryou, open the door." Akeifa said.
There wasn't a sound of a door opening. There wasn't any sound at all; it was still as quiet as death out in the hallway. Yugi strained his ears, listening for something, anything, to show that Ryou was still alive.
"Ryou, open the door." Akeifa said albeit impatiently.
A high pitched scream was his answer. There was no name in it, just a long drawn out scream. It still made Yugi cringe and cover his ears though at the high pitched frequency of it. It didn't stop though; one scream fell into another one, unending and relentless. Yugi cringed and pressed his hands more firmly against his ears as the pitch became louder. Yugi felt Atem's hands slide over his hands, trying to help him block out the sound. Any cries Akeifa made were drowned out by Ryou's screaming.
After what seemed like hours of screaming, each one getting higher than the next, Yugi felt a small tweak of pain in his heart. It was silent again. Yugi removed his and Atem's hands from his ears, and sat up unaware that he had curled into a ball. Yugi heard an agonized yell of anger and then nothing. Somehow, Yugi didn't know how, but he knew that neither Ryou or Akeifa weren't of this world anymore, they were both gone.
A door opened and slow footsteps made their way down the hallway. They walked leisurely past Yugi's room, and down towards where Ryou's was. They stopped there and just seemed to be staring at something.
"It's disappearing." A voice said.
"Yes, it's a shame, I was hoping to test it on the strongest one." the first voice responded.
"Well, they're real, as is their magic, just like you predicted, Pegasus." The voice from before spoke up again.
"Are you having second thoughts, Kyle?" Pegasus asked.
"No, of course not! It's just that we lost three good men, Liam, James, and Randy." Kyle quickly defended.
"Yes and their deaths will not be in vain if we can control this power ourselves." Pegasus responded.
"So, who's next?" Kyle asked.
"Malik Ishtar, his demon is the weakest. I would have liked to get that boy out of the way first, but we were able to get into Ryou Bakura's bedroom instead. How long did he last by the way?" Pegasus conversed as if he was talking about the weather instead of human lives. It made Yugi's stomach churn in disgust.
"Three minutes. I think we used too much power. We'll be more careful with Malik." Kyle responded.
"No, we'll try a different test on him." Pegasus responded.
"What kind?" Kyle asked in a slightly giddy voice.
"Come I'll show you." Pegasus said.
Their footsteps faded down in the opposite direction of the hallway. As soon as they were gone Yugi sat in Atem's arms thinking about what it was that could possibly take enough power to kill someone in three minutes. He also thought about what they would have in store for Malik and him. Why did they want the demon's power? What could they possibly want it for? If they knew the demons were real, why pretend that they weren't? The last question he had was, was there a chance that none of them had been put here by accident, and that this was in fact a set up, a trap?
"Those are very good questions little light, but don't worry they'll never get in here. They'll never separate you and I from one another." Atem whispered in his ear.
"Then I guess I'm just going to have to go out there instead. This may be my only chance to be rid of you, and I'm not about to give it up." Yugi responded calmly.
"You'll never find the door." Atem said.
"Is that a challenge?" Yugi asked his voice daring him to say yes.
"No, because you'll make a game of it. A game is something you almost never lose at. I'm no fool Yugi; I will not play a game in which I have a high chance of losing with you." Atem growled out.
"It's a shame that you actually gave in to my expectations of your cowardice. I was hoping you'd be more courageous than that, but it seems my hopes were in vain." Yugi teased.
"Don't test me, Yugi." Atem warned.
"But that's my favorite hobby, testing you." Yugi said turning in his arms.
"Fine, you have a week to get free of this room. If, by the time that week is up, and you haven't escaped, you'll belong to me and journey with me willingly to Hell." Atem said his voice becoming delighted when he spoke of his home.
"No deal." Yugi said.
"Why not?" Atem asked curious.
"I have no way of knowing how long a week is. It could be a minute here, and is that really fair? Only giving me a minute to find the door. Come now Atem, I thought you liked challenges?" Yugi goaded. Atem snapped his fingers and a window appeared in the wall. Yugi knew he'd be a fool to think it was a real window, but he also knew that that was as close as he was going to be able to get to a passage of time to his world. Yugi knew he wasn't in his world anymore, Atem had said as much already.
"The sun is starting to rise upon day one. You'll have six more after today. Yugi, don't get your hopes up, I'll be standing in the doorway just waiting for you to find me." Atem whispered before Yugi felt him move away. Good, now that he's gone I can think of a real plan of action Yugi thought.
"I can still hear you little light." Atem whispered chuckling slightly.
"Get out of my head!" Yugi shouted back.
