Chapter 11- Torn
Yugi sat quietly on the couch. He had fallen asleep not too long after he and Ryou had cookies. He had gone back to his room and decided to think things over until Agent Atemu got back and they could talk. However, his thoughts must have made him sleepy because the next thing he knew it was five in the morning. Yugi had ventured from the safety of his room and looked out into the dark living room. No one was there. Atemu's blanket had remained untouched since last evening. Where was his protector?
Yugi crossed his arms and waited. He didn't know why for if Atemu wasn't back now, when would he be? Was everything okay? Did someone find out who he was and now Agent Atemu was trying to cover for him? Yugi looked out on the balcony to the horizon where the sun was fixing to rise. He sighed impatiently, more with anxiety then frustration. What if his agent was regretting yesterday? What if he thought Yugi terrible and ran away for good?
His eyes clouded with worry. Suddenly, he heard the front door unlock and open. Yugi jumped up and made his way to the little hallway to see and exhausted Atemu walked through. He locked the door back behind him and turned, stopping his movements when he saw Yugi. "Shouldn't you be sleeping?" He asked, drowsiness filling his voice like a large pitcher of lemonade.
Yugi put a stern look on his face, "I could ask you the same thing."
Atemu sighed and dropped his sweatshirt. He rubbed his temples and closed his eyes. "I needed time to think." Was all he said as he walked by Yugi and down towards the bathroom. However, Yugi beat him to it and stood in front of the doorway. "Move." Agent Atemu said, a dangerous tone in his voice.
"What happened?" Yugi asked, the kindness returning to his features. "Where were you?"
Atemu looked at the ground. "I wanted to think things out."
"You already said that."
Atemu looked up at him. "Unlike you, I'm a grown adult. I can go anywhere I please when I want to. Your not my guardian, I can go places without your knowledge."
Yugi blinked, tears stinging his eyes. What had happened to the kind agent he had been with earlier. It was as if he was a completely different person. "What is wrong with you? Was it something I did?" Yugi asked, hurt emanating from his voice. "I waited up for you last night. I thought we were going to talk—,"
"We need to talk." Atemu interrupted. "Yesterday...it was..."
Yugi flinched, he knew what Agent Atemu was getting at but he didn't want to hear it. "What? What was yesterday?" Atemu remained silent, looking away. Yugi pushed his slightly, automatically put Atemu on the offensive. He grabbed Yugi's wrists to prevent him from pushing him again. Yugi felt like yelling but tried to keep his voice down as to not wake anyone. "What? Say it. You know you want—,"
"It was a mistake!" Atemu hissed, throwing Yugi's wrists away from him. Yugi allowed a tear to roll down his cheek as Atemu panted in anger. "That won't work." Atemu said, pointing a finger at him, "Not anymore."
Yugi shook his head, "What are you talking about? I thought you cared about me." Yugi whimpered, tears now freely cascading down his cheeks. "I thought we had something. Something special. You said that you told me things you never told anyone before."
Atemu growled, "I know what I said. It was all a mistake." He said, then lowering his head. "I just wanted to make you feel like you belonged with us. I didn't mean for it to go this far." He admitted, genuine truth in his voice. "I didn't mean to hurt you."
Yugi shook his head and backed away from Atemu. "So that's it?" Yugi cried. "You fuck me and then you leave me?" He asked, surprised at his own anger. No, it wasn't anger. It was hurt. He had never felt so used in his entire life. "You're telling me that none of it was real? That you were faking everything?"
Atemu sighed. "I suppose."
"You suppose?!" Yugi practically yelled. "That is all you have to say for yourself? I trusted you, Atemu. I believed you cared about me."
"Well I don't!" Atemu snapped. He pushed Yugi out of the way of the bathroom. "No go back to sleep before you wake up the entire condo." He growled before shutting the door and locking it. Yugi stood there for a few moments, letting soft sobs escape him. He would wait. He would sit there until Atemu came back out and then they would settle this. But Agent Atemu didn't come out. The shower turned on.
Yugi let out a loud sob and walked over to the couch. He sat there and cried into his hands. He never felt so humiliated ever. Any punch a bully gave him felt like a bee sting compared to this. He wanted to go home. He wanted to see his grandfather again. Yugi stopped crying suddenly and looked up, the tears stopping. Why couldn't he? He looked around. He knew how to fight now. He was pretty good at it and could defend himself. Why not make a surprise visit home. It wouldn't last long. Just until the agents saw him and gave him back to Agents Atemu and Anzu.
Yugi stood and grabbed his wallet with 50 dollars in it, a water and a snack bar. That settled it. If Agent Atemu didn't care about him, then he wouldn't mind if he left. Yugi knew otherwise. He knew if he left, Atemu would be pissed. At the time, that seemed like a great thing to Yugi. Yugi opened the door and considered yelling something but figured that the quieter he left, the better. He walked out the door and didn't look back.

He was fixing to get on a bus. A payphone stood beside him. Yugi looked over at it. He should call Ryou. He would be worried about him. Yugi looked back to the bus. It wasn't leaving for another twenty minutes. He could call him and explain that he would be back later. He just needed to take a trip. Yugi walked over to the phone and dropped a few coins of change into the slot.
Yugi waited for the ring. It rung twice before he heard Ryou's voice on the other line. Yugi looked at his watch. It was almost noon. He had been traveling for almost a little over six hours. But it wasn't the time he was looking at. Yugi knew well that if he called, the agents would be tracking it. He had 40 seconds to say what he had to say then hang up. "Angel?" Ryou asked during the silence. 5 Seconds.
"I'm sorry Ryou, but I had no choice. I have to go somewhere. But I'll be back."
"Angel, come back. Please?" Ryou begged on the phone. "You have everyone worried. Even Atemu. He hasn't stopped pacing the room since we found out you were gone."
"Hmph." Yugi snorted. "And how long was that? About a half hour ago?" 15 seconds.
"Angel." Ryou whined. "I'm begging you. Before someone recognizes you and tries to hurt you."
Yugi shook his head. "I'm tired of living by your rules. I'm leaving just for a while. You guys can trust me to be gone for a while."
Ryou sighed, "Angel, you need protection. Please, just tell us where you are and we'll come get you."
"No." Yugi stated. 30 seconds. "Tell Atemu I don't need his kind of 'protection' anymore." Yugi said before slamming the phone on the hook. He sighed and smiled. That felt great. He took care of himself for a change and stood up to a bully. He walked towards the bus and hopped on, paying for his ticket as he did. He took a seat by the window. Next stop, his grandfather's game shop.

As much as he hated to admit it, Yugi had cried twice since his last conversation with Ryou. It hurt every time he thought of Atemu. He wanted to kill him himself. How could he do such a thing to him? Yugi sighed as he looked out the window from his taxi. He was tired but he would be home in a few moments. He couldn't wait.
Yugi saw the game shop just a few blocks ahead and his heart started to beat faster. Yugi smiled as tears of relief came to his eyes. He saw his grandfather putting the CLOSED sign on the cover of the door to the shop. The taxi pulled by beside the shop and his grandpa turned and squinted. Yugi paid the driver before opening the door.
"Yugi!" His grandpa yelled, hurrying towards him.
Yugi started crying. He embraced his only living family and sobbed out of control. His grandpa kept asking what was wrong but all Yugi could do for a few moments was cry. "It was awful." He finally said, "He hates me and I don't know why." He sobbed as his grandfather hurried him into the house.
Agents swarmed them immediately. "What are you doing here?" One asked but Yugi paid them not mind.
"Yugi," His grandfather began, "Where are your agents? How did you get back into the city?" He asked.
Yugi looked up at him, tears rolling down his cheeks. "I trusted him grandpa. He lied to me." He sobbed, "He hurt me." Whimpering, Yugi laid down on the couch and shoved his face into a pillow. His grandfather's hand was on his back, soothing him as well as he could. "Why?" Yugi screamed. "Why?!"
Silence came from the other members. Suddenly, one of the agents walkie-talkies went off. Yugi recognized who was on the other line immediately. Anzu. Come in. Agent Calorti Come in!
The agent picked up the walkie-talkie from his belt and pushed in the button. "Yes?"
Anzu voice came from the other line, Are they there? Are they both safe?
"We have Motou." The agent replied, "Who else?"
Silence came from the other line. Then, Atemu isn't there? He was suppose to beat Yugi there.
"No."
A/N Oh no. What happened to Atemu? You'll find out next chapter. I am so evil. Please review. Not sure if I have to put up all the chapters at once but it would be nice if you could review each individual one and not the last one you read. Thanks a bunch!
