Sorceress Vanessa: Hey ya peeps... I have some good news and some bad news... good news is that I got this chappie up and it should be pretty good for all you who are reading this... the bad news is that I just got my report card today and I got a call from my mom telling me that I had an 'F' in math so that meant that I had failed my Final... So I have to have a tutor from 'Silven Learning Center' whatever you call them and I might have summer school next year in 2005. So because of my tutor when I'm in Sophmore year I might not be able to update on fics as much as I would like too and plus my mom said that if I get a bad grade on my first semester report card then she'll ban me from the internet... I'm in a totally depressed mood right now, but I needed to get this chapter up for you kewl readers! -Smiles a little-

Chapter 3-

Pain

=============

Domino Pier, Warehouse

August 17th, 2004

12:35am...

Yugi opened his eyes slowly as he took his head off the cold, hard ground and looked around the room through blurred eyes. He tried to sit up. It took a lot of effort but he was able to do it, but he felt the tight rope around his wrists and ankles cut into his skin, as he tried to sit in a comfortable position since his feet were tied.

For some reason Yugi felt really hot, yet cold at the same time as his eyes started to clearer and clearer with each passing second that went by. He tried to move his body again, but all that he got was a sharp pain that went through his whole body as he groaned in pain. His head pounded with extrodinary pain as he remembered what had happened to him earlier on today... or was it yesterday now?

Yugi panted as beads of sweat fell down his face, trying to get his mind clear and trying to keep himself warm from all of the cold air rushing in the room, Where am I? And what does Bakura want with me?

/You're going to get me the Millennium Puzzle little Yugi./

Yugi jumped back when he heard the deep voice through his mind as he looked around wildely, wondering is Bakura was in the same room as him, wherever he had taken him, "Bakura?! Show yourself!"

Yugi waited for a reply but got none, only his voice echoing through out the dark room, leaving Yugi to wonder what to do. Suddenly the door opened as light shone in Yugi's eyes blinding him, while the shadowy figure of Bakura walked in.

"Well little Yugi is finally awake." Bakura darkly chuckled while Yugi only glared, "Well someone is in a grumpy mood now arent they?"

"Leave me alone Bakura!"

"Well you wanted me to show myself, but you dont want me to talk to you? Now isnt that a shame..." Bakura walked towards Yugi, while Yugi coud do the only thing that he could do with his body... sit there.

Bakura grabbed Yugi's chin as Yugi tried to pry him off, but the grip was too tight, "Now little Yugi dont worry, I wont hurt you... much." Bakura then laughed as he pushed Yugi to the ground.

"You're after the Millennium Puzzle... why didnt you just duel me for it?" Yugi spit out blood, that was forming in his mouth while Bakura knelt down to Yugi's position.

"Well as much as I would hate to admit it, I might lose, even to you, but... for me I thought that by kidnapping you and making the Pharoah come and get you by trading the Millennium Puzzle would be better, dont you think?"

"You're insane."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Bakura smirked as he lifted Yugi off the ground by his hair, making Yugi cringe in pain. "I know the Pharoah cares about you more then anything, even more then the Millennium Puzzle... he'll come and I'll get what I want."

Yugi closed one eye thinking that Bakura was right, Yami does care about me and he will bring the Puzzle to ensure my safety...

"Right you are little Yugi, so now let's get to the fun shall we?" Bakura laughed as he through Yugi to the wall, while Yugi smacked the ground in pain.

"Ugh..." Yugi groaned in pain, trying to move, but with him bound at his hands and feet it was quite hard.

Yami can't give him the Puzzle or the whole world could be at stake... he can't give him the puzzle... not even for me he can't... Yugi thought as Bakura kicked Yugi in the gut, making Yugi curl up in a little ball, crying out in pain.

But there's nothing that we can do... maybe Bakura has finally won this one...

/ You're right little Yugi, I have this won this one. I shall get all the Millennium Items and rule this world./

Yugi then felt himself get kicked in the back and then back in the front as cried out in agony, while blood splurted out of his mouth. He opened one of his eyes and looked towards Bakura who was just grinning pyschotically at him as he just closed his eyes and tried his best to breathe, which really hurt him as he gave out slow breaths.

"Are you already done Motou because the fun part hasnt even come yet." Bakura said as hepicked Yugi up by the collar and punched him in the eye and then before he knew it he was punched in the mouth.

Yugi felt his lip burst open as blood flowed freely down his mouth, while he grunted in pain, Yami...

He was surprised that he couldn't reach Yami through their link. Even though that they were far apart it should still work no matter what... what was going on.

He suddenly heard Bakura laughing evilly as he opened up his good eye and looked at him, "Ah little Yugi, while you were knocked out I used a magical spell that will keep you from talking to the Pharoah. Can't have you keeping secrets from me now."

Yugi then felt himself being slammed to the wall as his head hit the cold hard wall. He slipped down to the ground as he just lay there in a daze, feeling very weak.

"Well I think that's enough fun, dont you think?"

But Yugi wasnt listening as he felt his head punding with pain and everything just spinning and going black before him and then he slipped unconcious...
