I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH

It had been 3 days sense the incident with John and everything was calm. Yami had never let Yugi outside anymore. Even though Yugi hated it, he knew he could't complain much. Also during the three days, at Yamis request and Yugis delight, the two had been sleeping in the same bed so Yami could keep a closer eye on him but Yugi didn't mind.

Not many of Yugis memories came back, with the exception of a few here and there but even then they were only a flash or picture. Another strange thing was that Yugi had the feeling that Yami knew more then he was telling. He had tried to get more information out of Yami, but ended in vain.

Right now it was night and the sky was pitch black as thick clouds blocked the moon. All nightly noises ceased as an eerie aura hung over the forest. yugi lay awake next to a sleeping Yami in the bed they shared.

Lately when Yami fell asleep, Yugi would watch him. Yami always looked peaceful in his sleep as the normally sharp feature relaxed. Carefully, Yugi moved his hand to brush away some bangs in Yamis face. He gently let is hand moved down his cheek, careful not to wake Yami.

Yugi stopped when bright crimson eyes shone through the dark. Inwardly he melted looking back into those eyes he loved.

"Sorry." Yugi whispered as he moved his hand away

"It's fine." Yami put one arm around him, causing a light blush to dust his cheeks, "You should get some sleep."

Yugi nodded and closed his eyes. He lay there enjoying Yamis presence, his strong arm wrapped around him protectively. Yugi loved Yami, that was for sure, but he didn't know if Yami loved him. At times it seemed like he did but couldn't tell if he was joking or not. When stuff like this happened though, he liked thinking Yami did. He was going to tell Yami. Even if he didn't feel the same.

"Yami..." he opened his eyes to be met with soft crimson ones

"I-" suddenly the words caught in his throat and he couldn't speak. No, he wasn't going to tell him. He couldn't risk it, "nothing." he mumbled out and went to sleep.

Once Yami was sure Yugi was asleep he sighed and brought him closer. He tightened his grip on Yugi and wrapped his other arm under Yugi so he was hugging him. Yami half buried his face in Yugis hair as he slowly fell asleep.

"Me to my Prince." Yami whispered befor he fully fell asleep.

About an hour later, Yami woke to the sound of rushed knocking. Yami groaned as he unwound his arms and sat up. The movement and lack of warmth woke up Yugi, but it wasn't until the knocking came again that he became aware of what was going on.

"Who could-" Yugi yawned "be here this late?" it was still fully dark and the sun wouldn't rise for hours.

"I don't know." Yami answered more awake and alert

He walked to the window at the side of the bed and drew back the curtains. Although it didn't show the front of the house, he still saw many people around the house. Yami glared at them but froze when he saw John and his friend circling the house.

Yugi just watched as Yami closed the curtain and frantically went around the room, grabbing a few items. Yami briefly stopped to thrown some clothes at him.

"Hurry, get dressed." Yami said firmly

Yugi got out of the bed and hurried to get dressed. When he finished, he was wearing a dark purple shirt with sleeves that stop at the elbow and dark brown pants tucked into knee high brown boots.

He looked over at Yami and took a minute to admire him. Yami was wearing a dark red, long sleeved shirt with loose sleeves. Long black pants went over his red-black boots. Over his shirt was a black, button up vest.

"Stay here and don't move. I'll be right back." Yami spoke sternly and went downstairs.

Yugi stood in the same spot until he heard banging on the downstairs door. It was then he noticed the talking outside. He went towards the window and was about to look out but Yamis voice stopped him.

"Stop! Don't. Come on." Yami ordered in a clipped and slightly angered tone.

Yugi turned and backed away from the window. He saw Yami move to the bed and push it away from the wall. Yugi helped him so they had access to the stone chimney shaft. Yami quickly moved to the shaft and pushed one of the stones. A small section of the shaft came out and moved aside, opening a small drop downward.

Without hesitation, Yami jumped down into the dark abyss. When Yugi looked down, he saw a little light coming from the open fireplace downstairs but the floor was gone, leading to a hidden third floor.

"Just jump." Yami called

"But...ohhhhhh."

"I'll catch you, don't worry."

Yugi bit his lip and closed his eyes as he slid off the floor and into the dark. He opened his eyes when the falling sensation disappeared. He noticed Yami had caught him but when he looked at his face, he saw pain.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry!" Yugi quickly got out of Yamis arms and touched his shoulder. Yami flinched a little but brushed it off.

"I'm fine. Hurry, down this tunnel." he directed as the openings closed, taking the light with it.

They walked down down the tunnel, making sure not to trip. It wasn't until Yugi ran into a wall that they stopped.

"A dead end?"

"Our way out." Yami pushed on the low ceiling so a trap door opened, letting what little light the night gave, illuminate the tunnel.

A ladder leading up was revealed and they quickly climbed it. Yugi was the first out and saw that they were a ways away from the cottage. Also that a mob of people surrounded the house.

Yami climbed the ladder and closed the door when he heard something.

"Hey!" a towns person was running towards them. The per threw something at them when he got close enough.

"Crap!" Yami moved in front of Yugi as the ball shaped object hit the ground, creating a puff of smoke.

The cloud didn't last long but when it dissipated, the two had already run into the forest.

"Over here! They're in the forest!" he shouted, alerting the crowd
