Yugi felt tears come to her eyes. "Why me …?" SHe asked herself. She wanted to go home; to her real home. The poor girl missed her friends and her grandfather. But most of all, she missed her daddy and Atem.. the real atem. The Atem that would comfort her when she was sad or scared; the Atem that would chat with her at night about how her day went; the Atem that she loved ever since the first time they were separated. This person was not the person she calls 'Yami'. It was something else.

She hated the fact that she had to stay in that stuffy room with nothing to wear but a few dresses and her birthday dress. Getting a little chill, the girl made her way back toward the bed. She wrapped herself up in the thick comforter and lay down to fall asleep once again. At least Yami had enough humanity in himself to let Yugi have her most prized possession with him. Her eyes began to droop. The warmth of the bed that she was laying in was so soothing to her. Before she fell into dreamland, she mumbled something to herself.

"Someone please help me …" Slowly, Yugi closed her heavy eyes and fell into a very deep sleep.

I have to finish continue my mission

(Authors note: Yugi's mission and who she needs to find will be told later)

In a clear, white world much different from the world Yugi had been held captive in, a group of wise-looking figures, cloaked in white, gathered together. Three of them had golden outlining. One of the three wore a silver cloak, glittering in the light. These white figures were in no way oblivious to Yugi's loneliness and pain.

A floating image of the unhappy, sleeping girl appeared in the middle of the room. The wise-looking figures in white formed a circle around the image. Slowly, the image faded away.

"She is the Pure One." One of the figures said.

"How can you be certain?" Another asked.

"Her aura feels strong … and pure." For a second, there was silence.

"We must protect her and bring her here." This started to cause a commotion among the wise figures.

"No! It is forbidden to bring a mortal here!"

"But we must take her away from the Source before it corrupts the girl even further!"

"We must!"

"It can not be done!"

"SILENCE!" Just as the silver-cloaked figure spoke, silence filled the room. He raised his head. "You are correct; it is forbidden to bring a mortal to this world; however, I believe we can make an exception." The image of a sleeping Yugi appeared again. The silver-cloaked figure smiled. "This girl is the embodiment of all that is pure and holy. The child's destiny is to help us de-throne the Source once and for all." The others seemed to agree with the words of this wise one. "We must protect this small prophet. It is Her will." The others all nodded in agreement.

"What is your plan?" The silver-cloaked figure smiled again.

"Bring her here." The others all nodded.

Later that day, Yugi awoke. Or, at least she believed it to be the same day. There really was no concept of time in Hell. But she awoke by something stroking her cheek. Yugi moaned; she loved having her cheek rubbed. She opened her eyes to see Atem smirking at her.

"Have a nice sleep, Little Gem?" Yugi just blinked in response.

"What were you doing before I woke up?" Yami chuckled.

"Just sitting here, watching you sleep for a while." Yugi's eyes widened for a second.

"Okay … that's not creepy …" She said with a tremble in her voice. Yami smiled again. He picked up Yugi, He moved the girl in his lap and began to nuzzle and pet her Yugi sighed and reached for her neck. She found a collar laying around it. "What's this?" Yami looked to see what Yugi was talking about.

"Just some jewelry for you." Yugi tried to pull it off. "Don't bother, Little Gem. Only I can take that off of you."

"You mean this is a collar?!" Yami shrugged.

"I prefer not to call it that, but yes." Yugi sighed in frustration. Yami was willing to do anything to keep Yugi as his own. SHe sighed again as Yami continued to pet her like a real pet.

"Don't you ever get tired of touching me?" Yami gave Yugi a kiss on the neck and inhaled her scent.

"Tired of you? Never!" Yugi tried to get up. "Ah, ah, ah; did you forget about our dinner?" Yugi's face turned green.

"I'm really not hungry right now …"

"Oh, come now." He took the girl's hand and led her to a table on the floor with pillows surrounding it. As Yugi looked at it, she gasped at all the food she saw. There were so many fresh fruits, vegetables, and other things. There were many different kinds of pastas, both red and white sauced, garlic bread, a full turkey, fruit salads, pies, cakes, chicken, and to top it all off, there were chocolates in the middle of the table. When Atem said a 'feast', he meant it! Yugi looked at the food and her mouth began to water. She did not realize how hungry she was until Yami had shown her that food. Said Devil began to knead Yugi's shoulders for a second. "Dig in, Little Gem." The small girl did not have to be told twice. The delicious scents that filled her nose were almost too much to bear. She sat down on one of the pillows and began to fill her plate with almost anything she could find … except the meat; Yugi was a vegetarian. She took three scoops of fruit, samples all the steamed vegetables, three scoops of pasta, and of course, the desserts.

The small girl made moaning sounds of satisfaction as she ate. Atem smiled and sipped some wine as he watched his small lover fill her smaller belly. "Thwwhoww." The Devil almost chocked on his wine as he chuckled.

"Yugi, swallow and then start talking." He could not believe how innocent this girl truly was. It was amazing. Yugi swallowed her mouth-full of food and let out a small burp.

"'Scuse me. I said this is really good!" Atem took a piece of turkey leg for himself.

"Only the best for you, Little Gem." Yugi still felt a little unnerved by being called that, but she was getting used to it. Hell, if Atem fed her like this every day, he could call her"little birdy" for all she cared. Yugi shrugged as she took another helping of pasta.

Yami watched Yugi eat. After getting at least something in his stomach, he began to use more manners. He watched as the girl brought each and every bite of food to her mouth. The way she would bite into a steamed carrot and chew it, and the way she would slurp up the pasta noodles. Everything Yugi did was absolutely enticing to the Devil. He would never let this little treasure out of his sight.

"Take it easy, Yugi; or else you're going to eat yourself up." Yugi cut up another carrot and stuffed it into her mouth.

"I can't help it; this food is sooooo good!" Yami chuckled. As Yugi was continuing to enjoy her meal, she felt Yami's hand rubbing her back

"Why can't you stop touching me?!" Yugi asked

"Because you are simply too irresistible, Little Gem." Yugi looked to see Yami's arms wrap around her waist. It began to feel as if Yugi would never have real privacy ever again.

"Please … stop …" Yami moved closer his little lover. The Devil brought his mouth close to Yugi's ear and licked it. Yugi literally tensed up and gasped at that slimy feeling.

"I simply can not have enough of you, Yugi." He whispered in the shocked girl's ear. Yugi bit her lip to keep from moaning. She was always surprised when Atem did this kind of stuff. A small squeak escaped her mouth, causing the sadistic Devil to chuckle, which tickled Yugi's ear. Just when Yugi thought she would not be able to take any more, Mahad appeared in mid-air and cleared his throat to gain their attention. Yami groaned in annoyance.

"What?!" He asked in a clearly pissed off voice. Yugi noticed that Mahad flinched ever so slightly when the dark one yelled.

'Master, there is a crisis on the outside that needs your attention.' Mahad spoke telepathically. Yami slapped his hand to his face.

"Can't you see that I'm busy?!" Mahad bowed.

'Forgive me, Master … but this is something that really needs your attention.' Yami groaned and stood up. He looked down to see Yugi blushing. Wrapping his arms around Yugi's waist, he picked the girl up and brought her to eye level. The Devil stood there with a serious look on his face. while Yugi was being held in Mid air by Yami's arms.

"I have to go for a few minutes; be a good girl and stay here until I get back." Yami brought Yugi to his chest and embraced her and he purred. Yugi returned the embrace. " i love you Yami" yugi said looking at Yami in the eye

The devil smiled and kissed his lover " I love you for all eternity little one" Yami said

putting Yugi on the bed and walked out of the room, Yugi know she had something to look forward to when Yami came back. Mahad's mouth formed a very faint smirk. There was a reason why he needed to get the Master away from the Little Mistress. After he was gone, the girl sighed, which gained Mahad's attention.

'Little Mistress, is something bothering you?' He asked. Yugi looked up at her magical friend with tear-filled eyes.

"Dark Magician, I feel really lonely … I miss my friends and family …but I know that if I try to leave, Yami will just bring me back. Even worse, he may kill my friends!" Yugi held her head in her hands.

'There is a reason for that.' Yugi looked up.

"What is it?" Knowing he had said too much, Mahad quickly tried to change the subject.

'You should get some rest, Little Mistress. It is for your own good.' Yugi smiled sadly.

"Dark Magician, please don't call me 'Little Mistress' call me 'Yugi'; I want to be your friend, not your mistress" At this, the floating magician smiled.

'Then you may address me as 'Mahad'.' Yugi smiled and nodded. Suddenly, a white light filled the room and three figures cloaked in white appeared. Yugi had to shield her eyes away from the light. It was so bright, and so warm. It felt … soothing. Mahad made no move at all, not even a flinch. Yugi, on the other hand, was a little surprised.

"Who are you?"

"You shall find out soon, Little One." A voice replied. The voice was soft and had an echoing tone behind it. As Yugi moved her arm away from her eyes so that she could see, she gasped.

On the outside of the Palace of Darkness, Yami gasped at what he saw. It was a whole courtyard full of defeated demons. Some of the corpses were smoking, and some were torn into pieces. However, all these demons were still alive. They were all groaning. Yami's fury boosted to 'kill' mode. Whoever had done this would pay for trespassing into his house!

Suddenly, something caught his eye. On the ground was something that had a bluish-white color, and it was glowing as well. The Devil bent on one knee and ran his fingers through the substance. He brought it to his nose and took in a deep sniff. Widening his eyes, he gasped. "Oh no!" In a flash of fire, he disappeared and reappeared in his chambers; however, there was only one occupant in the room. Yami looked around. He looked in the wash room, in the closet, in the other adjacent rooms, but Little Yugi was nowhere to be found. "Where is she?" He asked with a growl in his voice. Mahad just shrugged his shoulders.

'They took him.' Like a puzzle, everything fell into place. Mahad had tricked him into leaving the room so that 'the others' could take his most prized possession.

"Traitor! Thick bolts of lightning shot out of Yami's fingertips and attacked the floating magician, grounding him on contact. Poor Mahad tried to lift his head, but he was in too much pain before another wave of thunder shocks attacked him yet again, this time with more force. "You betrayed me!" The more Yami's rage grew, the more power the thunder bolts seemed to gain. Mahad screamed in pain. "You shall pay for betraying your master!" The electric torture continued.

So warm … and so comfortable. Those were the thoughts that came to Yugi's mind as she awoke. The blankets were made of silk, but they were not excessively warm as they were the first time Yugi woke up. But then again … what was that light that shown through her eyelids? As she opened her angelic eyes, she could see that she was not in Atem's room anymore. In fact, she was really not in a room at all. Just a space filled with clouds. The blankets of the bed she lay in were a light blue color. She looked down to find that she was wearing a thin white, silk dress that came down past her waist, with matching shoes. Light reflected off of the ensemble, giving it a shiny look to it. "Where am I?" SHe asked herself. Where ever she was, she liked it.

Yugi decided to walk around and find someone who knew where she was. But before she could get out of bed, she saw that she was standing on clouds, which scared her for a second, but then noticing that the bed was secure on them, she decided to take a chance and try to stand on it. Oddly enough, the clouds were able to hold her up. One task completed, now off to see if she could find anyone.

She walked around, feeling very at ease with this place. There were people in white, the same clothes that she was wearing, that would stop and gasp at her. They all seemed to have white hair as well. Some long, some short, but all the same white color. Not grey, but purely white. Some would even bow to her, which she thought was a bit strange. Yugi heard them whispering, but could not make out what they were saying.

"Hello, can you help me?" The people did not say anything. "Can you tell me where I am?"

"You should know exactly where you are." A voice from behind him said. In shock, Yugi spun around to see a figure in a silver robe behind him. She could not see a face for the hood of the robe was covering it. Yugi suddenly realized that the voice she just heard was the same voice she had heard before she passed out.

"Who are you?" Yugi could see that the figure had a smile on its face. It reached for the hood and slowly brought it down. The figure turned out to be a young man, probably no older then twenty-one, that had white hair that came to the tips of his ears. (I'll draw a picture of this guy before I post the next chapter.) Under the silver robe, he seemed to be wearing white, just like everyone else. He had icy blue eyes and a golden glow around him. The young man smiled at Yugi. Not the little smiles that Yami had given her, but a genuine smile.

"My name is Gabriel." Yugi gasped. Could this young man really be the Gabriel, the High Archangel, right hand of God?! He just continued to smile. "Welcome to Heaven, Yugi."
