Yami smirked as he walked towards the crowd in the room. He looked at each and every one of his priests. They were all there … all except one. Yami folded his arms.

"So … did you all come here to imprison me again?"

"We came here to retrieve the girl." Priest Seto said. Yami laughed evilly.

"Sorry, but that is simply impossible." Joey could not take anymore and wanted to get his two cents worth.

"Listen ya evil son of a bitch!" Yami raised a brow in an amusing way as the blonde yelled at him. "If you don't let Yugi go this second, you're gonna wish ya stayed in that puzzle!"

"That makes no sense at all." Suddenly there came a stirring from the bed. Yami went to go make sure Yugi stayed asleep. He did not want the girl getting any ideas about going back to earth. Even though he knew she didn't want to, Yami was just being protective of Yugi.

"Yami …" Yugi tried to sit up, but she was stopped by Atem, who put a hand on the girl's shoulder to push her back onto the mattress.

"Everything is fine, Yugi." Yami rubbed Yugi's back, lulling her to sleep once again.

"Yugi!" Tea shouted, hoping that she would hear her. When the sleepy-eyed girl did not respond, her friends all began to shout to her. Yugi did not hear her voice because of the sleep spell that Atem was silently putting his light under at the time, but she did hear some kind of buzzing sound.

"Yami … wha …."

"Shh … sleep …" Yugi's eyes were getting very, very heavy. Her friends kept calling out to her, but she did not hear.

"Yugi!"

"Yugi!"

"Yugi!" The girl could hear some kind of buzzing, but could not determine what it was. Atem smirked. He conjured up Yugi's baby blanket, the one she could never sleep without, and gave it to her to snuggle with.

"Here, Yugi; you take this and go to sleep." Yugi took the small blanket and peacefully drifted into a deep sleep. Once that was over with, Yami smirked, showing off his sharp fangs. "I'm afraid Yugi will not be leaving any time soon. We are married now and we need to be together." Yugi's friends were all taken back.

"MARRIED?!" Yami laughed evilly and raised his left hand.

"Yes. This ring binds us together and is a symbol of our love."

"So … you plan to throw that girl away"

"Oh, of course not. I am in love with Yugi."

"How can the Devil love?" Yami snickered again.

"It is possible." He walked back to his bed and lay down next to Yugi. Joey was about to rip him apart when a demon stopped him. Yami smirked as he became comfortable. "You are all lucky that I am going to let you go back to Earth … except for you five; you all brought yourselves here, and now I get to have your souls tortured for all eternity." The friends all gasped. But for some reason, the priests did not seem very surprised or upset at all. Actually, they were very calm.

"That's not fair, Pharaoh … I mean Lucifer!" Tea exclaimed. Yami smirked.

"Any soul present in my domain is mine to do with as I please." The Devil snapped his fingers and the spirits were gone.

"They were supposed to seal him away again!" Atem smirked again as he looked at the living teenagers.

"My servant will escort you out. And this time … I expect never to see you again." He answered with a hiss in his voice. In a few seconds, a figure appeared. The figure turned out to be the Dark Magician … with a miserable look on his face. Atem smirked as he lay in his bed, stroking the sleeping Yugi's hair. "Mahad, escort these children to the world of the living. The Dark Magician nodded.

'Yes, Master.' The Devil's magical servant surrounded the friends in a purple glow and then

before They were gone Seto Kaiba yelled "I LOVE YOU YUGI I WILL SAVE YOU"

then were all gone. Yami sighed and looked at the sleeping girl, Then Yami smiled. He did not snicker, but smiled.

"No one shall take you from me, I'll protect you forever, I promise"

The devil rubbed Yugi's back watching her sleep.

In a flash, the friends were all back on Earth, moaning and groaning. "Damn it! We were so close … so close!" Joey said, hanging his head. Tea began to cry.

"How are we gonna get to her now? Not to mention that the priests are now being tortured and it's all our fault!" Tristan yelled. Joey lifted his head.

"Dude, you are such a drama queen." Just then, the Dark Magician floated before them.

'Relax, Children; I am not your enemy.' The Dark Magician did not move his lips, but spoke through telepathy.

"How can we trust ya? Ya work for the Devil!" Mahad lowered his head.

'I have no choice; I have sworn my loyalty to him. That was before he had been consumed by a blood lust for power. However, even after he became the Source of Evil, he kept me of my promise … and enslaved me.' Mahad raised his sleeve and revealed a glowing black bracelet that clung tightly to his wrist. Tea gasped.

"You're being held against your will …" Mahad nodded.

'Yes, he did not want to lose a servant, so when he fell, he took me along with him.' He trailed off for a second. 'I am concerned for the Little mistress well being. In ancient times, when Pharaoh Yami became attached to something, he was very possessive of it. I believe he will start to treat the Little mistress as his mate and will do anything to protect her, he my even kill all of you, if Yami things you are a treat." Just then, a though came to Joey's mind.

"You don't think he'd do the same thing to Yugi you know hurt her"

'Of course not, I have seen the way the Master looks at the Little mistress and the way they speak to each other.' The friends all looked at each other. Kaiba sighed.

"Well, there's nothing more we can do, but perhaps you can." Tea nodded.

"Kaiba's right. Please make sure that he doesn't hurt Yugi … please …" She pleaded with tears in her eye. Mahad nodded.

'I shall protect the Little mistress as much as I can … even if it be from the Master himself.' He meant every word of his promise. He cared very much for his Little mistress.

"What about the priests?"

'My old friends are experienced and can handle themselves for now, but the Little mistress's mentality is in danger. Her type can not survive in that place for long.' Joey cocked his head.

"Her type? What do you mean her type?"

'You would not understand if I told you. Be brave. I will give you updates on how the Little mistress is doing. One day, we will rescue her from that place.'

"But how?" Tristan asked. Mahad smiled.

'I have faith in the Little mistress. She has ways that even she is not aware of. Until she is, I will protect her... I promise you. Now you must go.' He did not give the friends a chance to object. He watched as the friends walked away, sadly. They missed their friend terribly. They did not deserve to lose the best friend they ever had, and Yugi did not deserve to be kidnapped. Mahad sighed as he made his way back down to Hell.

Yugi felt so content at the moment. She was so warm … so comfortable. She did not want to awaken. Suddenly, there was something sucking on her neck, tickling her in the process. She giggled. "That tickles …" Slowly, she turned onto her back, opening her eyes. When she did, she was shocked to find two ruby eyes staring at her in the face. Atem lay above her. "YAMI!" She exclaimed in shock. The smile that the Devil gave his new wife was not meant to give Yugi the creeps, but it did anyway. Seeing those sharp fangs and sharp bloody eyes sent chills down her thin spine.

"Good Morning, Beautiful. Did you sleep well?" Yugi looked around her.

"where are we?" Atem cocked his head.

"Do you not remember last night?" Yugi looked at him in wonder. Then suddenly … it came to her. The night before … the feelings, the heat, and the passion … Yugi's eyes doubled in size.

"Oh no … how could I …" She sat up, not facing Atem, clutching the comforter to her. Atem smiled and nibbled on Yugi's neck again. The girl clenched when he began, but soon relaxed. Her mind slowly began to fog as it did the previous night, Yugi loved this but she got scared. "No! Stop that!" She stood up as fast as she could, taking a blanket with her. Atem smiled

"Now, now; do not be like that, Yugi."

Yami smiled at yugi, that seemed to comfort her.

"Please I want to go home" Yugi said tears coming to her eyes.

Yami stood up and walked over to his wife slowly. When he reached the small girl, he gently lowered the blanket off of Yugi's shoulders and kissed her fully on the lips.

"You are home." He whispered. Yugi could feel that Yami was trying to comfort her, Yugi didn't know what to do. "Do not resist, Yugi. I own you now that we are married." Yugi wanted nothing more then to finish what she started. The Devil's claimed ownership of her was hard to get used to but she was beginning to feel like she belonged here, with her husband. Yugi's legs were weak to even stand up any longer.

"I …" A finger found its way to her lips, silencing her in the process.

"Hush now, I know what's best for you. The Devil said , picking up Yugi and brought her back to the small one's destination. Yugi could do nothing but obey. She put her head on Yami's chest which made him smile again. Husband and wife made it back over to the bed and Yami laid down, Yugi cuddled next to him and half sleep from laying on the soft mattress. Yami could only smile at her and began to play with her hair. He stared at Yugi for a long time before he started to twirl Yugi's hair in his fingers and lick the girl's cheeks and neck with his tongue. Yugi's eyes began to fill with tears. She loved that yami was so careful with her, Yugi loved the way Yami loved on her, the previous night, her mind was still too innocent to completely comprehend what was going on. "What's the matter, Yugi? .

"You lied and betrayed me"

"What do you mean I betrayed you?" Yugi sat up, still clinging the blanket to her.

"We fought evil together for more then a year … and now you turn out to be the Source of all evil … all that time we've spent together … was a lie …" Yami sat up.

"If it makes you feel any better, I had no idea what I was until I regained my memories. So … in a way, it wasn't a lie." He leaned in for a kiss, but Yugi pulled away.

"Stop that! I wanna go home, Yami … now!" Yami was getting fed up with being told that.

"Yugi listen to me, I already told you … you are home."

"Stop saying that!. I want to go home no- AH! AHH!" The girl fell to her knees. There was the most painful ringing in her head. She glanced up to see Yami lying on the bed while leaning on his elbow with his legs crossed and eyes glowing. "What … are … you … doing … to … me …?" Yami's face held no emotion. All he did was stare.

"Teaching you a lesson." Yugi knew this would happen, "ok I have to play along, just to keep him happy"

"Stop … please …" The Devil just blinked. Finally, the ringing did stop. Yugi stayed on her hands and knees, taking in deep breaths. Suddenly, Yami's hands moved to her chin. The tip of Yami's finger forced Yugi's chin upwards so that the small, defenseless girl was staring the sadistic straight in the eye.

"Let me make this perfectly clear, Yugi" . His arms pulled Yugi back to the bed, right in his lap. Then he released Yugi and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I own you. You belong to me. There is no going back now. Just accept it." Yugi tried to move, but Atem's arms held the girl in place. Then he put yugi on the bed while the tip of Yamis finger caressed her inner thighs, causing her to gasp. "You live here now."

"You can't own me."

"Of course I can. You were mine the moment you found the puzzle." He shrugged with a smirk. "We only made it official by drinking each other's blood." Yugi was hardly listening.

"No, I... Yugi was cut off

Yami threw his head back and laughed. Not really evilly, but the sound did have an evil touch to it.

"Ah ha, ha … As much as I would like to continue this little golden time we have together, I have souls that I need to punish." His finger released the small body in front of him. Yugi lay back on the bed, emitting a 'whoop!' sound when she landed on the plush m mattress. Yami laughed as he stood up and went to go get dressed. Yugi was still battling her way through the blankets and sheets to find her way to the pillows. She finally made it by the time Yami game out. He wore a black kilt with a black belt and a long black cape , wrist covers , and deep black boots,. In his hand was the traditional trident. It was fancy and flashed with intense heat. Yugi hated her new outfit. It was a constant reminder that she was bound to the Devil for all eternity. It was a black dress and red shoes to cover her feet

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Well, you can stay here and get some rest." Yugi cocked her head.

"Can't I go walking around? I mean you can tell where I am all the time, so can't I just take a walk if I promise to behave?" Yami smiled. He knew Yugi always kept her word and if she could not, then he felt as if the world would come to an end. It was part of the pure goodness of her and that is what attracted him to the angelic girl most.

"Sorry, Yugi; I refuse to let anyone by myself see your beauty." Yugi cringed.

"But …"

"No buts! You will stay here until I return!" Atem commanded , causing Yugi to flinch. "Yugi, please do not be frightened." Yami leaned over her. "When I get back, we will have an enormous feast celebrating our union; I promise." Yugi cringed again, not wanting to think about what, or more specifically, who, would be in that food. Yami gave her a kiss on the head.

"I will be back as soon as I can. I have some old friends I have to … check up on." Yugi cocked her head.

"Who?" The Devil smiled.

"Do not worry about it. Just stay here and relax." And with that, he departed. Yugi sighed. Who knew how long it would be before Yami would be back. She walked over to the window, expecting to see people being tortured again, but she saw … nothing. Apparently, Yami's palace was very high. She was in a tower at least thirty stories in the air. The sky was an orangeish-redish color. There were some dragon-like demons flying around in the sky, but Yugi could not see any of the people that she saw the other day. She sighed again and leaned on the window sill. So, this was her new life … could she ever get used to it? A tear ran down her cheek. She was Yami's wife. "No I have to play along, Yami trusted me ill keep it that way for now.
