Chapter 2

Atemu was wondering the streets of Domino City desperately searching for Yugi. He couldn't understand it. Yugi had gone to the shops the day before yesterday and hadn't returned. He had tried to reach his Aibou through their link but had found an empty void where the other half of his soul should be.

"Yugi where are you?" he pleaded to the empty street. The cold grey walls gave him no reply or clues. He felt sick with worry but he kept going. He had to find Yugi, find him and finally tell him exactly how he felt. Yugi's disappearance had made him realise just how much he loved his Aibou and it had also made him realise how precious their time together was.

"I can't lose him, not now, I will find him and whoever is behind his disappearance will pay with their life." He growled and the Sennen Eye glowed on his forehead for a moment reflecting the anger he was feeling.

Slowly, dejectedly he turned from the alleyway he was searching and returned home to the Kame Game shop. He and Yugi ran it now since Yugi's grandpa had died a few months ago. He unlocked the door and went into the darkened shop. The silence was deafening. He had heard the phrase before but until now he had never understood it. Now he did.

It wasn't just the silence of the shop; it was the silence that pervaded his very soul. His very core felt cold and he leaned against the counter before sinking to the floor and resting his head on his knees.

Now the tears fell. They ran down his face in a never-ending stream of grief and loss as he wept for Yugi.

He cried for a long time, letting all of his feelings out until there were no tears left inside of him. Why him? Why Yugi? He'd never hurt anyone, he was an angel his beautiful large innocent amethyst eyes would turn on Atemu and his heart would melt forgiving Yugi for whatever joke he had played on the former pharaoh.

Atemu often thought, if he still ruled over Egypt and Yugi had been his slave, those eyes would have seen him forgiven for anything he had done that was out of turn. Atemu got up from the floor and made his way into the kitchen. He switched on the light and then he saw it.

Poked through the letterbox in the back door was a letter. Atemu snatched the letter up and read it quickly.

'If you want to see Yugi alive, come to the old warehouse behind the station.
I'll be waiting x'

Atemu screwed up the letter in his fist. He instinctively knew whose writing it was and he knew that this person would put a kiss at the end of a letter to him.

"Anzu." He growled and again the Sennen Eye glowed on his forehead. If she had harmed Yugi in any way, she was going to pay dearly. He would make her suffer before he sent her to the shadow realm.

He grabbed his leather jacked which he had discarded on his return to the shop and left for the warehouse.
"I'm coming Yugi-koi, don't give up. I love you."

Yugi struggled against his bonds as Anzu sat watching him with a smirk on her face.
"Struggle all you want Yugi, you will not escape."
"You won't get away with this bitch, Atemu will find me and he will deal with you."
"Yes of course he'll find you, I left a little note telling him where to find us."
"Well you sealed your own death warrant then you baka." Yugi spat and his frowned deepened when Anzu laughed.

"Oh he'll come here all right, and when he does he'll tell me what I want to hear or you are going to suffer."
"You're forgetting he can send you to the shadow realm bitch."
"Oh I don't think so Yugi, you see if I collapse on the floor, I will make sure that I land on the switch that will trigger my little trap. So if he tries anything, you will die."
A tear rolled down Yugi's cheek.
"You hate me that much?"
"I don't hate you but you are in the way of me being with my koi." Anzu said and waved the trigger switch in Yugi's face menacingly.

Yugi shrank against the table in fear. He could see the insane glint in Anzu's eyes and he didn't doubt for a second that she would do exactly what she promised. The switch would shoot up another table under his own except that this one was covered in knives, which pointed upwards.

Yugi had watched in horror as Anzu had set up the trap. He could hear the knives being set into slots on the table under him and realised that this elaborate trap must have been specially made with this in mind and the thought of such a well thought out plan made him shudder.
"Anzu please don't do this." Yugi pleaded trying to appeal to whatever sanity Anzu may have left inside of her.

"Too late Yugi, I want Atemu and I'm prepared to do anything to get him. I am sick of your pleas, I'm going now to wait for my koi to arrive." She left the room and Yugi was alone with his thoughts again.

He looked over to a table where the Millennium Puzzle lay in pieces after Anzu had broken it up. Yugi had cried out in agony as she had done this feeling the part of him that was Atemu, torn away from him. It had literally felt as though his soul had been ripped in half and he had cried with the pain as Anzu had laughed and arranged the pieces on the table as if to taunt Yugi.

'She must have known how much that would hurt me.' Yugi thought bitterly and tried to ignore the gaping hole in his soul where Atemu's half should be. He knew Atemu would also be feeling the loss and more tears fell. No matter what, Atemu must not do what Anzu wanted. Yugi would rather die than hear Atemu say he loved her even though he wouldn't mean it, Yugi didn't think he could take even hearing the words. He wanted to hear those words directed at him. He loved Atemu so much and that made the loss of his part of their shared soul even worse. He wondered if Atemu felt the same way. He had never shown Yugi that he did so Yugi had no idea exactly how he felt, he just hoped that he cared about him enough to accept how he felt even if he never returned it.

Yugi settled down to wait for Atemu's arrival, which he hoped, would be soon.

Atemu ran all the way to the warehouse, he knew it well having passed it many times on his and Yugi's days out when they used the train to cross the city. He ran as fast as possible to the warehouse and only stopped when he got to the door. Grasping the handle he opened the door and stepped through.

"YUGI!" he shouted at the seemingly deserted warehouse. He listened and then he got a reply.
"Atemu!" came a voice from one of the smaller side rooms in the warehouse.
Atemu ran to the room where the voice had come from and burst through the door. The sight that met him made his blood run cold.

There was his Aibou tied down to a table with another table under him that had a lot of very vicious knives pointed upwards.

"Yugi." He gasped and rushed over to him.
"Atemu watch out for Anzu, she's going to kill me." Yugi said.
"No, I can't lost you Yugi, I won't let her hurt you, I'll send her to the Shadow Realm before she gets the chance."

"Even if you do send her, she's going to have it so that the trap under me is triggered."
"What does she want?" Atemu said distraught that someone he and Yugi had considered a friend could even thing up something so sick.

"She wants you to say you love her."
"She WHAT?" Atemu cried and a movement behind him made him spin on his heels to face the one who had caused all this pain and heartache. "You." He growled.

"Yes me my koi." Anzu said as she stepped into full view. Atemu was holding Yugi's hand and his grip tightened at Anzu's use of the word 'koi'

"I am not your koi, bitch." He snarled as she waved a switch in front of her.
"Really? Well if you don't say you are and show me that you do, then I will press this little red button and little Yugi will be skewered like a stuck pig." She said and smiled but it was an evil smile knowing that she had won.

Atemu sighed knowing he had no choice, he turned to Yugi with sorrow in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Aibou; I have to do what she says. I can't risk your life, but I swear I will deal with her as soon as I can ensure your safety." He leaned close to Yugi and whispered in his ear "you are my true koi Aibou, ashiteru." He said and Yugi smiled.

"Ashiteru Atemu." He whispered back and Atemu gave his hand a final squeeze of reassurance before leaving his side and approaching Anzu who wrapped her arms round Atemu's neck.
"Now tell me you love me Atemu."

"I love you." He intoned dully but this earned him a slap across the face.
"Say it like you mean it!"
Atemu prepared himself to imagine it was Yugi in front of him. Lifting a hand he ran it through the hair that in his imagination was tri-coloured and with the blonde bangs at the front. He pulled the imaginary Yugi towards him and said in a low voice,

"I love you."
"That's better." Chirruped Anzu, "now show me." She said her voice full of meaning.
Atemu had a plan in his mind but in order to put it into action; he had to make Anzu trust him in order to get that switch off her.

Atemu leaned forwards and kissed Anzu with faked passion. He mused as he kissed her that he must be a fairly good actor as Anzu didn't seem to realise he was completely faking it.
Anzu moaned into the kiss using her hands to roam over Atemu's back. Yugi closed his eyes feeling sick to his stomach as the sounds of kissing reached his ears. He couldn't even communicate with Atemu as the Puzzle lay in pieces on the table not too far from him. He had to trust in what Atemu had said to him, that he was his only koi.

Atemu pushed Anzu down onto the floor and resumed kissing her all the while hoping that her grip on the switch would relax and he could get it away from her. As soon as he did, then she would be paying a visit to the shadow realm but not until he had made her suffer first…

Anzu melted into Atemu's kisses and caresses congratulating herself on her plan, which seemed to have succeeded as she thought to herself that Atemu's attentions must be sincere. How wrong she was.

As Atemu kissed down her collarbone, she made the mistake of relaxing her hold on the switch and before she knew what was happening, Atemu had snatched the switch out of her hand and got up off of her.
"Atemu!" She gasped, "what are you doing?"

"Dealing with you." He snarled and backhanded her across the face. (AN: I do not condone men hitting women but please this is Anzu we're talking about and let's face it nothing is more fun than bashing her hehehe)

Anzu cried out in shock as she stumbled backwards and held a hand to her cheek.
"But you said you loved me! Your kisses were real" she protested really believing in her own mind that Atemu had meant everything he had said and done.

"Foolish girl." Atemu said scornfully "you really believed that I would mean what I said and did while the one I love is tied down over a death-trap?"

"What do you mean?" Anzu said really not understanding what Atemu was telling her.
"I LOVE YUGI" Atemu yelled at the shocked Anzu who took a minute to register exactly what he had said.
"You love Yugi? As a friend?" she asked refusing to believe that Atemu could possibly mean it in the other way.

"Anzu, I'll explain this very slowly so that your tiny brain can register what I am telling you. I am gay, I am in love with Yugi, I want to make love to him do you understand now you baka?" He said slowly and very clearly.

Anzu didn't know what to do. Should she fight for him? He was already over with Yugi untying his bonds and helping him off the table. In a moment she made up her mind, if she couldn't have him then Yugi wouldn't either.

All the warning Atemu had was a sudden scream. He turned to see a crazed Anzu lunging at him. Atemu gave Yugi a shove out of the way so he was well out of harms way and prepared to take the force of Anzu's attack.

"Atemu!" Yugi cried out as he watched Anzu fly towards his koi…
