Fifteen

I do not own Yugioh

-Line-

Yami fell to his knees clutching Hunter, "Yugi…."

Atemu ran over to Yami and bent down in front of him. "Yami?"

Yami looked up into Atemu's crimson eyes and broke down crying. "Why…..why couldn't I stop them Atemu?...I…..I…it's my fault!"

Atemu pulled his brother into a hug. He looked at Seto and Joey over his shoulder. 'We have to get him back' He mouthed. Seto and Joey both nodded.

"Come on Yami, let's get you upstairs." Atemu said taking Yami's hand and pulling him up. Yami was too tired and heartbroken to protest.

"It's my fault." He said again looking at Atemu with tear filled eyes. Atemu looked down at his brother and felt his heart clench at the sight of his usually strong brother so broken.

-Line-

"I didn't mean too Ate! You have to believe me! I didn't mean to lose control like that!" Yami cried as the guards seized him, holding him in place.

Atemu looked at his younger brother. His violet eyes glassy with unshed tears. Atemu shook his head and looked down at his feet.

"Atemu! Please! I didn't mean too please don't let them hurt me!" Yami let his tears run down his face as the guards hauled him away with his father trailing behind them. "Atemu help me!...please." He looked back one more time to see Atemu standing there watching him get hauled away. For the first time in his life he felt truly alone, like no one would ever care about him.

Atemu was snapped out of his memory when Seto snapped his fingers in front of his face. "Huh? What?"

"Well we were discussing how to get Yugi back but you zoned out." Joey said leaning back on Seto's desk.

"Oh, I'm sorry I just….all of this has brought back some memories of mine." Atemu said with downcast eyes.

"Like what?" Seto asked, curiosity dripping from his words.

"Well remember when I told you that Yami has lost control before?" Seto, Mana and Joey nodded. "Well our father punished him."

"He did? I don't remember him doing that!" Mana exclaimed looking at her brother.

"You weren't there when they punished him, I think you had gone to the informatory to help Isis but father had the guards take him to the dungeon and chain him to the wall. They took turns wiping him. The only reason I know is because I stood at the door wanting to help him but I couldn't think of a way to help so I just watched. Yami screamed, and cried. I've never seen him like that before. He wasn't Yami after that." Atemu explained, eyes still downcast.

"What do you mean by 'he wasn't Yami after that'?" Seto asked.

"Yami used to be the kindest person I had ever seen. He would help our mother out with the clothes down at the river, he would keep me company during my studies and he would play with Mana down in the gardens even after he turned fifteen. But after they punished him like that he just became so….so cold and mean."

"I remember now Atemu. I didn't really think anything of it at the time thought. I just thought he was growing up and was too old to play with me anymore. So I left it alone, but that does explain it." Mana said sitting down beside Atemu on the couch.

"Yeah, I still blame myself. I could have helped him. He wanted me too. But…I didn't I just watched them take him away…." Atemu buried his face in his hands and started crying.

Mana hugged her brother and rubbed her hand over his arm. "Oh Atemu, there was no way you could have helped him. They would have punished him anyway he killed six of our guards."

"You didn't see his face Mana!" He shot up off of the couch and looked at her. "You didn't see the way he was crying, he begged me to help him! But I didn't, I just turned my back on him! If I had helped him….if I had helped him…." His voice trailed off.

"Atemu, come on man don't blame yourself." Joey said trying to help his friend.

"I….I can't do this right now. I need to go talk to Yami." He turned and walked out of the room swinging the door shut behind him.

Well that was just some back ground information on Yami.

Yami: I hate you at the moment.

Why?

Yami: Because you made me get punished!

Well it's for the good of the story!

Yami: Whatever! Well anyway review!
