:: Prologue -- 'Yami no Yugioh' (Dark King of Games) ::
*(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming 'round.*
The pharaoh's ruby-red gaze searched the crowded streets desperately for any sign of the tricolor-haired boy he had fallen in love with. The boy had disappeared four nights ago from the palace. When Yami had woke up three mornings ago, he had entered Yugi's room only to discover everything in total disarray. He had searched the entire room for any sign of Yugi, only to find nothing--except for a small slip of papyrus tucked under the edge of the pillow. He picked it up and read the words scribbled in a messy hand.
I have the boy.
Pegasus
He would pay...
*(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears.*
Reading the one line for the thousandth time since the note's discovery, tears welled in Yami's eyes. His beloved angel had been taken from him, on the same night Yugi had frustrated Yami so much he had yelled at the younger boy. In the two years of knowing Yugi, he had never yelled at him, except that night.
Guilt flooded over him, the gathering tears threatening to fall. Being in public, he refused to cry. He refused to appear weak in front of his people, even though they too grieved Yugi's disappearance and Yami's loss.
*(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by.*
His hope of finding Yugi was beginning to falter. Even after only five days of searching, he could not hold on to the hope that Yugi may be still alive. Yami knew the kidnapper, Pegasus's, reputation all too well. After having lost his own wife, Cecilia, Pegasus sought revenge by separating new lovers, torturing them until they either submit to his wishes or die.
Pegasus claimed that Yami had ordered Cecilia's execution, so in return, he was going to do the same for Yami.
"YAMI!"
The pharaoh blinked, looking around the street for the source of the sound. There was no mistaking the sound of Yugi's youthful voice. Now all he had to do was find him...
"Yami!" Yugi screamed again, more desperately.
Yami caught the sight of his beloved being dragged around the corner. He didn't risk a moment's hesitation as he ran after Yugi.
He was still alive! And if Pegasus had dared to hurt a single hair on his lover's head, he was certainly going to die a very slow and painful death.
* (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.*
Yami rounded the corner and stopped at the sight of Pegasus, his arms wrapped around the struggling boy, the pharaoh's lover.
"Yugi!" Yami started to rush for the boy, wanting nothing more to get Yugi away from that creep Pegasus, and hold and comfort Yugi. "Pegasus, you idiot! Let. Him. Go!"
"Of course, my pharaoh. But on one condition. You must release Bakura," Pegasus said, tightening his grip on Yugi.
Yugi squeaked, struggling in Pegasus's grasp.
Fear swept over Yami. All of this over that stupid tomb robber? He looked at Yugi and sees nothing but love and trust in his large violet eyes.
Yami knew what he must do. Releasing the tomb robber was the little price to pay to reclaim his lover, his little angel.
"All right," Yami said. "Bakura will be freed."
*(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart.*
Pegasus started to release the boy, but not without first drawing a dagger across Yugi's bare chest.
Yugi gasped in surprise, the pain following shortly there after. He cringed as Pegasus planted a kiss on his shoulder before shoving him to the ground at the pharaoh's feet while Yami watched in helpless shock. Even his bodyguards had been caught off guard.
*(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart.*
"No!" Yami yelled, running forward to Yugi's side. He gathered the boy up into his arms. "Yugi? Yugi, are you okay?"
"Yami? Is that you?" Yugi asked weakly, his face paling.
The pharaoh's heart wrenched. He pulled his angel closer, nuzzling his lover's cheek. "Yes, my angel. Did he...?" He couldn't bring himself to ask the full question, but when Yugi whimpered, he knew the answer. He held the younger boy closer as Yugi cried against his chest.
Yami looked up to see Pegasus gone, as well as a couple of the bodyguards, in pursuit, no doubt. Yami sneered angrily. Pegasus was going to pay for ever touching his innocent angel, for breaking the youthful innocence Yugi possessed.

To be continued...
A/N: No, this isn't going to be another Ancient Egypt (Kemet) story. The prologue is only a flashback. I'm working on finishing chapter one right now. I'll post it here in the next few days.
Hope everyone enjoyed the fic thus far. Please be kind and stroke my ego-- I mean, leave a review!! Yeah... *looks around sheepishly* Really, I do! Review! (Yes, Neko-chan, that means you! *smirks*) Remember, the more reviews, the sooner I'll update (even though I haven't updated It's a Cruel Summer yet, but hey, I'm working on it. Do you know how hard it is to write fan fic while dealing with the two major senior classes, band, homework, essays, and working at Sonic temporarily while trying to find a different job? It's not easy, I promise you! *sigh* Anywho, enough rambling). So, review, review, review, and did I mention: REVIEW!?!
