Yami /blushes/ SHUT UP!

Kawaii-hikari3: Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy the next chapter of my ficcy! Please read and review!

Yuugi woke up from his sleep when he heard someone calling out for him. His eyes slowly opened and he found himself sleeping beside Yami, whose arms refused to let the young Japanese boy leave their grip. Yuugi kept hearing someone calling for him and he sighed lowly, eventually breaking free of Yami's grip. He snuck out of the room, knowing that Yami needed rest, and followed the sound of the voice who kept calling to him.

Yuugi found Anzu and Shimon standing in front of a large closed door. Yuugi smiled softly at the two people who guarded the door and approached them slowly, having a strange feeling coursing through his body.

"Yuugi, I see you heard us." Shimon said.

"Yes, but why did you have to call for me? Couldn't you just get me?"

"I'm afraid that would've made matters…complicated…" Anzu said, her eyes narrowing on the young boy. Yuugi felt a shudder run through his spine and his briefly shook. Shimon and Anzu glanced at each other and then returned their gaze back to Yuugi.

"I think we can talk about this later! I'm still kinda tired and I wanna rest! Nice talking to you!" Yuugi said nervously fast and turned to leave. Shimon and Anzu each grabbed one of Yuugi's shoulders and pulled him closer to the door.

"Don't leave yet…" Shimon said lowly.

"…You haven't met with everyone…" Anzu said just as lowly.

"Let me go!" Yuugi squirmed, but he couldn't break himself free from the tight grips on his shoulders. He found himself being pulled into the guarded room. Yuugi tried to break free as the doors opened and he was relentlessly pulled inside, but his efforts were all in vain. Once inside, the door closed behind them and the room was completely dark and had an eerie feel to it. Yuugi felt the hands that squeezed his shoulders release their grip and footsteps came closer towards him.

Yuugi's eyes were wide as the multiple footsteps slowly came closer to him. He backed away as fast as he could and bumped into the door, which gave a small amount of light by its cracks. Yuugi banged on the doors as hard as he could, hoping someone outside would hear him.

"HELP! ANYONE! LET ME OUT!" Yuugi cried at the top of his lungs, hoping that someone would hear. He kept calling out until his throat went dry and his voice gone. Yuugi coughed a couple times and breathed deeply. The footsteps stopped and the whole room was engulfed in light.

"Yuugi, we've been expecting you." A group of older male voices said. Yuugi's eyes widened as he slowly turned around. He saw seven regal men all huddled together and whispering among themselves. Yuugi stared at them and noticed the dark looks on their faces.

"It seems that he is the one we've been waiting for." One of them said.

"Those eyes…"

"…The energy…"

Yuugi stood perfectly still, to terrified to move. His eyes were wide and filled with fear as the men walked over to him and surrounded him. Each one of them started to grab at Yuugi and started intended to find his ability of healing. Yuugi started screaming and scrunched down, covering his head with his hands. Hands were reaching for him, while some cold hands were harshly touching him; wanting to feel around his past. As they touched him, many memories from Yuugi's past came flying back at him. A mix of sweet and horrifying memories shot across Yuugi's mind within the blink of an eye. The door suddenly flew open and crimson eyes glared at the huddled men, his entire being surrounded by dark energy.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Yami yelled loudly and dangerously. The men jumped and backed away from Yuugi, glancing at each other nervously. Yami ran beside Yuugi and pulled him into a gentle embrace. Yuugi clung to Yami tightly, sniffling loudly. Yami noticed Yuugi's terrified condition and glared at the seven men angrily.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!" Yami roared angrily. No one in the room spoke, but simply stared. Yami felt Yuugi cling tighter to him, burying his head into Yami's shoulder. Yami looked at Yuugi and held him close. He glared at the men again, waiting impatiently for an answer.

"Well?" Yami said with a large amount of annoyance in his voice. The men looked at each other and one of them, the leader, spoke up.

"Pharaoh, we just wanted to see the boy's power. We did not mean to scare him."

"You terrified him!" Yami said angrily as he felt Yuugi shaking in his arms.

"We did not-"

"Silence!" Yami growled. "You disobeyed my orders, brought Yuugi here against his will and terrified him! You're all lucky that I don't exile you!"

"What about Anzu and Shimon! They dragged him in here!" One of them cried.

"I heard from them that you wanted to see Yuugi." Yami narrowed his eyes. "It looks like you made Anzu andShimon bring Yuugi here by force and wits, am I correct?"

"Ah…" The faces of the seven men paled considerably, knowing that Yami knew their secret.

"As I thought…" Yami said, shaking his head. He stood up, helping Yuugi to stand also. Yuugi was still shaking, to frightened to comprehend a word being said. The men gulped nervously, waiting for Yami to finish what he wanted to say. Yami saw the guilt in their eyes and knew instantly what they were up to.

"You seven are sick…you tried to find out everything about Yuugi and you have scared him! You're a disgrace! I don't know what demon possessed you to try to do this, but I'll deal with you seven council members later. Right now, I must attend to Yuugi." Yami picked up Yuugi and cradled him in his arms. "If any of you try to leave before I deal with you, you'll regret it."

The council nodded and grumbled some acknowledgements and Yami left angrily, the dark energy that surrounded him was starting to fade once Yuugi stopped shaking and was slightly calmer.

"What now? We will never be able to find out if he is the right boy now!" One of the council members groaned.

"Do not worry." One of them said with a smirk. "I think I found some information that would be of use to us…"

Yami walked with Yuugi slowly, making sure he didn't startle the already traumatized boy. Yuugi's eyes were wide as he stared up at Yami and looked into his eyes fearfully. Yami looked softly into Yuugi's eyes, as angry as he was.

"Ya…mi…" Yuugi's voice was practically gone and very raspy, so it was hard to understand. Yami, having very acute hearing, understood what Yuugi had to say. Yami smiled softly at Yuugi, a look of reassurance on his face. Yami walked Yuugi into their room and gently laid the terrified boy down. Yami started to move away, but Yuugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and held him tightly and made a soft sound.

"Yuugi…" Yami said softly as he sat Yuugi up and placed him carefully in his lap. Yuugi buried his head into Yami's shoulder and remained still. Yami hugged Yuugi lightly as he heard soft sobs escape Yuugi's lips and felt his shoulder dampen. He messaged Yuugi's back gently and quietly hushed him.

"It's alright Yuugi. I won't let them near you anymore. Hush. It's alright." Yami said softly. Yuugi cried heavily into Yami's shoulder until he couldn't shed another tear. Yuugi moved his head away from Yami's shoulder and pulled away from Yami, his eyes staring straight into crimson pools.

"Yami…" Yuugi whispered, his voice beginning to recuperate.

"Don't talk yet, Yuugi. You used most of your voice screaming." Yami said softly.

"I don't care." Yuugi whispered. "I wanted to know…how did you find me?"

"I heard you. I knew the council members had you, strangely enough, so I just went into the council room and found you." Yami said.

"Thank you…" Yuugi whispered softly, his eyes glistening with gratitude. He lunged at Yami and squeezed him, snuggling with Yami lovingly. Yami smiled at Yuugi and held him. Kuriboh had been hiding in the room the entire time and had watched them with happiness glistening in its violet eyes. Kuriboh knew his master had found a lover and they really cared for each other.
