Finally, here is another update! I'm sorry they're coming in so slowly, but I just didn't know how to end this chapter. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
"It's been almost two weeks...I can't believe no one can find him..." Anzu said in a slight whimper, not caring as the tears slipped down her cheeks. Honda slipped next to her and put his arm around her, letting her cry on his shoulder. The group of friends were all in the burger restaurant that Yugi loved. It was bittersweet for them to be there, for Jonouchi especially.
He hadn't told his friends that Yugi was actually found by Kaiba and brought back. He couldn't find the strength to tell him that their best friend was back with his abuser; the fact that a week and some days had passed and he saw no sign of the amethyst eyed boy only made his heart sink. He made a mental note telling himself that he'd go by the Kaiba mansion and try and see if his friend was okay...or even alive.
"This makes no fucking sense!" Otogi suddenly shouted as he slammed his hands against the table. "I've sent out my best men, they tore up this fucking town looking for him! Did...did he just disappear into the shadows?"
It was that word that sparked someone else's interests. Ryou knew almost immediately someone - or some people - who could help. Politely excusing himself, the white haired male got up and quickly made his way outside. He looked for the darkest area he could find, finding one in the alley behind the store.
"Akefia?" He asked quietly, watching as the shadows stirred and his tan boyfriend appeared before him.
"I don't care if Yugi told Atem no, there has to be a way he can find him. Lend him your stalker skills!" In all fairness, Ryou should've asked him this sooner, but he had no idea Yugi would be gone for so long.
"Okay, okay. I'll talk to Atem and see if he still has a mind link. Just...go in there and play cute." Akefia grumbled quietly, watching as his young lover beamed and covered him in thankful kisses.
"Thank you, Ake! Good luck, okay?" Ryou patted his face before running inside, leaving Akefia to groan as he returned to the shadows. Boy, he was so whipped.
[ With Yugi ]
Cold, cold...he was so cold. And sore, God he was so incredibly sore. How long had he been back? He was gone for three days and...ah. Eleven days. He was here, naked, tied up, and trapped for eleven days. Seto was being especially cruel with this punishment. His body was littered with open cuts and bruises, he was sore from endless punches and violent rapes. Seto wanted him to know that no other man could have him.
As the door opened, Yugi looked up to see Seto enter with something behind his back. He figured it was just another drink, the billionaire had been drinking a lot lately. It probably gave him the courage to do everything that he did. He laid his head back and swallowed as he prepared for whatever punishment he had for today.
"How are you feeling, hm? Ready to tell me who Atem is?" Seto spoke coldly as he set his things down. All Yugi could do was whimper as his throat was so sore from screaming and crying.
"Need something to drink?" The tall male asked and Yugi nodded desperately. He parted his lips as the other held a bottle to his lips; it had a clear liquid in it, Yugi just assumed it was water. As he drank, his throat suddenly began to burn and he started to choke. He coughed up the mysterious liquid and it splattered all over his face. He started - or tried - to scream from the pain. A hard slap to his face silenced him but Yugi still whimpered silently.
"Little whore, don't you dare fucking cry. I should be crying! You left me for three days for some fucker named Atem!" Seto started to rant and Yugi still wanted to tell him that he was nothing but a stranger, an acquaintance. But Seto was so dead set in thinking that Yugi cheated on him.
"But don't worry..." Seto started as he took the object back into his hand and flicked it on, turning back to reveal the electric branding iron customized with 'Kaiba Corp.'. "I'll make sure everyone knows you're mine."
Yugi's eyes widened at the sight and tried to wiggle away, his efforts proving futile as he was still tied down. Tears pooled at his eyes and quickly started to fall, the amethyst eyed boy trembling as he looked for any sign of compassion in his boyfriend. But the blue eyes were ice cold and as he moved closer, all Yugi could see was evil. As the burning hot iron was pressed to Yugi's skin, it sizzled and the smell of burning flesh filled the room. Ignoring the excruciating pain, he let out a blood curdling scream that could be heard around the world.
[ With Akefia ]
As Akefia entered the home, he was surprised to see Atem on the floor writhing in pain. He rushed over to his friend's side and helped him onto the couch, raising an eyebrow as he tried to figure out why the man was so upset.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Screams...pain...agony..." the ruby eyed male groaned through gritted teeth, gripping his head tightly and squeezing his eyes shut. Could this be because of Yugi?
"Atem, just calm down and tell me what the screams sound like. Is it Yugi? Try to listen..." Akefia tried to get through to his friend and also figure out a way to try and help Yugi and his friends. The other took a few deep breaths and tried to focus, groaning lightly.
"He's on a bed...a bed in some...room. It's all blurry so I think he's crying. Pain, he's in so much pain. Oh Gods, my chest- my chest!" Atem groaned loudly and gripped his chest tightly, folding over slightly. He tore open his shirt and Akefia's eyes widened when he saw the words 'Kaiba Corp.' printed on his chest. Then it finally made sense, he knew exactly where Yugi was. He didn't have the time to comfort his friend - he'd leave that to Malik - and quickly vanished into the shadows.
The ending is pretty messy but I hope you guys enjoy this anyway. Reviews are all welcomed!
