Hey guys. Sorry I haven't updated in literally 3 months but senior year is going to kill me. I'm almost ready to apply to college and my portfolio is almost complete, I just need to make a little more stuff and some corrections and then put it behind me. I won't make any promises, but I might be able to update on some sort of schedule soon. Don't hold me to that but it may happen.

Aside from all that I have joined the world of fictionpress (same name as this account) so if you want to check that out I would love to hear about what you think! I'm going to be adding a long story soon (i call it battleship but the name may change) , I just need to nail down a few more details and then edit it before I post the first chapter. I should be posting that sometime this month, more than likely thanksgiving if I have the time.

I won't bore you any longer, please enjoy the chapter and I'm sorry it's short.

"Yugi! Get away from him!"

"It's too late now" the colorful monster said as he turned around to look at Yugi "He is too well trained to disobey me. In a day he will forget all about you, about this life he had here. Jack's loan is over so now Heba will come back with me before he is rented out again."

"What about his friends? What about his family!?"

"I told you, he will forget it all before the day is out"

"What have you done to him?! Why are you doing this?!" I yelled as I saw the man start to run his fingers through Yugi's hair

"Why? Because this ungrateful little bastard of a child is in my debt. He should have died all those year ago but he lived. He fucking lived and now he has to pay the price." The man said as one of his eyes dilated until only the black of his pupil was showing and the other eyes pupil constricted so that almost all of it was gone leaving the bright orange iris to glow brightly.

The epitome of a mad man.

"What do you mean lived? Was he not supp-?"

"No, he was not supposed to live! He was supposed to die and rot in the ground with the rest of his family but he fucking lived! How the fuck did this little bastard live?! He is weak and frail and small and he somehow fucking lived!" the creature yelled as his eyes went crazy, constricting and dilating rapidly.

"How is that his fault?! Why is it so bad that he wanted to live, that he wanted to see the light of the next day!?"

"Because he's cheated me! He is practically untouchable now that he cheated me! He needs to pay for what he did. He needs to rot while living and while dead. He will rot in the fires of hell for all eternity for all he has done to me!"

"There has to be another way!" I yelled hoping to stall for time while I figured out a way to get the man away from Yugi

"There is no other way!" he yelled "I am his master and until I allow this boy to die you can bet he will suffer!"

"Who are you!? Why can't you let this go!?" I yelled panicking now since the man's hand was lingering on his belt where the handle of a knife could be seen.

"And why do you care? Why should you care about a stranger, a random person you have never met before? Why did you care all those months ago? Why him?

"Because he deserves better than this, he deserves better than you!" I yelled "all his life he has been kicked around and beaten down and he was finally starting to realize that is wrong! He was just starting to trust me, to trust other people to not betray him!"

"Well he should have never done that. He is just a weak little child and everyone will always use him and then discard him like a rag. That's what he deserves"

"No one deserves that!" I yelled

"No one but him" the man said before walking around Yugi, as if surveying a piece of meat.

He stopped directly in front of Yugi's shaking body and grabbed his hair. "Say goodbye you piece of trash, I'll make sure you never see him again"

The man harshly pulled Yugi's head back to force his face up in the air. Yugi looked at me with cold dead eyes, as if he had completely given up all hope.

"I-I-I love you!" Yugi stammered out as tears fell down his face before the man and Yugi started to fade like smoke dissipating in the air.

"Yugi!" I yelled racing towards where he and the man were fading away "who are you?!"

"Nightmare"
