Chapter 10
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
Yugi woke slowly to find his arms chained above his head. Yugi looked around quickly to find they were in what looked like a dungeon or something similar to that. There was five fire touches lit along the walls providing light and very little warmth. Ryou and Malik were the same as him, arms chained above their heads. What Yugi did thank was that they were sitting on the ground this way they wouldn't end up hurting their arms when their legs failed them. Yugi looked over to Malik and saw he was slowly waking up and Ryou wasn't too far behind. He could see them shaking very slightly and he knew they were cold and he was also cold as well.
"Hey guys. You alright?"
"Yeah you?"
"I'm alright. How'd you get here?"
"Someone that looked like me found me and brought me here. He's a naga, they may be the ones your grandfather spoke about being the only ones left." Malik said.
"Same for me, Yugi. What about you?"
"Yeah same here. "
"Do you think they are the ones from ancient Egypt that Ji-chan told us about?" Malik asked.
"I don't know." Yugi replied.
"Why don't you just ask us?"
All three jumped and looked towards the entrance to see three figures moving in. Yugi and Ryou pulled their legs to their chest. Malik just glared as they came into the light. The three slithered across the sand and stood where they could see the three easily.
"Well are you going to ask us your question?" The one that looked like Yugi asked.
"Are you the three nagas that are left alive? Like the legends says." Yugi asked fearfully.
"Yes we are the three left but won't be soon." The one that looked like Ryou replied.
All three got worried looks crossing their faces as the naga said that. The one that looked like Yugi shot the naga a look to keep silent before looking back at the boys. They looked extremely fearful now and two looked close to tears. He just shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, just behave and you won't be hurt." He said. "Now, how do you know of nagas? And more how do you know of our legend?"
"M-My grandfather has been trying to find your temple for nearly 40years. He told us of the legend and has been on digs trying to find your temple."
"So what do you people call our temple?"
"The Snake King's Temple." Malik growled out.
"Hmm interesting name." The one that looked like Malik muttered.
"Stupid if you ask me." The one that looked like Ryou mumbled.
"Shut it both of you!" Yugi's look-a-like said.
Both closed their mouth and glared at him. There was a silent conversation going on between them before Yugi's look-a-like's eyes widened in realisation.
"We skipped introductions. My names Atemu, this is Mariku and Akefia. Who are you?"
"Yugi."
"Ryou."
"Malik. Now let us go."
"No. You were going to reveal our temple and that would involve revealing us as well. We don't want that. So the only way to stop that happening was to kidnap you. You won't ever leave." Atemu said.
Yugi eyes widened before busting into tears, Ryou had tears slipping down his face, and Malik just ended up glaring at the three in anger. Atemu frowned and moved over and leaned down so he was eye level with Yugi.
"Hey get away from him!" Malik yelled.
Atemu reached forward and tilted Yugi's face so he looked him in the eye. Yugi tried to pull away but Atemu gripped his chin tighter, causing Yugi to let out a whimper between his sobbing.
"Now why are you crying?" Yugi refused to speak. "Tell me." Atemu gripped his chin tightly and forced him to look him in the eye. "Tell me!"
"My grandfather is the group we're with. Myself missing could kill him."
Yugi ripped his face away from Atemu's hand and buried his face in his knees even though it put a strain on his arms and shoulders. Atemu looked at him through narrowed eyes before casting a glance to the other two and saw that they were most likely speaking the truth. Atemu leaned up and unshackled Yugi's arms and held a wrist tightly in his grip. Yugi shook and looked at him fearfully.
"Get up." Yugi shivered and shakily got to his feet and whimpered. "You're coming with me." Yugi just shook his head and tried to get Atemu to let go before he pushed himself against the wall. "Do you want to stay down here in the cold?" Yugi shook his head, tears still falling down his face. "Then you come with me."
Atemu proceeded to drag him out of the room. Yugi could hear Malik screaming for him to be brought back. Yugi kept tripping over his feet because of the speed Atemu was moving and because he could not see where he was walking. When Atemu realised he was going to fast it was too late. Yugi had tripped on a rock fell to his knees, scraping them up along with his hands, which he used to stop his fall. Yugi whimpered in pain and slowly pushed himself to his feet and stood there with his head bowed. Atemu moved an inch forward in their direction and watched as Yugi took a step forward to follow. Atemu nodded and started up more slowly and Yugi followed him, he didn't want Atemu touching him.
After about 5mins of walking Yugi realised they were in a chamber of some sort and noticed a bed and everything in there. Yugi whimpered as Atemu grabbed his arm and pulled him over to the bed and sat him down. He then proceeded to rummage around before dragging out a long chain and connected one end to the bed head and the other to Yugi's wrist before being satisfied and when around the other side of the bed and climbed in and turned to fire torches off and going to sleep.
Yugi whimpered and tugged on the chain but it didn't budge. Yugi looked back at the naga beside him and climbed off the bed and curled up on the ground by the bed. He was not going to sleep in a bed with something he didn't know. He was cold but he would live with it. Yugi slowly fell asleep shivering slightly feeling cold.
