Little Bitty Pretty One
Chapter Nine
Yugi smiled as he listened to Atem talk to the people around him as they teased and spoke in a language that, might as well, have been Russian. All he could do was smile. His head turned when he heard the sound of laugher behind him. It was Duke, he was laughing softly as he read an article in a magazine. Yugi walked over to him and smiled. "Hey."
"Hello there, Yugi." He smiled brightly. "How are you?"
"I'm okay. How about you?"
"Well considering what is about to happen to my Boss's company, I could be better. But I don't want to talk about that. Have you ever been to one of these before?"
"Well no. I actually don't know what we are all doing. I just came because of Atem."
"We are waiting for the show to start. See this is a private screening of the newest movie. We are watching it with the critics. It's supposed to be good. You'll have fun."
"I have always wanted to see a movie before it came out." His eyes brightened and shifted as he heard Atem clear his throat. "It was nice to see you again. I'll see you."
"See you." Duke smiled as the boy ran off to Atem. "How did someone like you end up with a jerk like that?" he shook his head. "Good luck." He sighed and turned back to his article.
"And why were you talking to Duke about?" Bakura smirked as he walked to the boy as he crossed the room to get to Atem.
"He's nice." Yugi smiled. "It wasn't anything Businessy. He was only telling me why we are here."
"I see. I think you should sit between Atem and me." Bakura smirked.
"Sure." Yugi beamed, "but I have to get back to Atem."
"I am sure you do." Bakura muttered as the boy walked to Atem and grabbed his hand pretending as if he hadn't left the conversation.
"Attention everyone, the show is about to begin so if you would all take your seats." Called the butler. Everyone did as he requested and walked toward to lobby of the club to the show room and sat down. Atem at the end of the row, Yugi in the middle as Bakura sat on his left side. The light's dimmed and the movie began.
Yugi shifted in his seat as he watched the romantic comedy unfold in front of him. A classic story of boy loves girl, girl loves boy's mom…What? Yugi blinked and went back to watching.
A hand slowly touched his leg but he ignored it and took it as an accident until that hand started a journey upward. Yugi grabbed the hand and tossed it off of him. He knew it wasn't Atem by the grip it had on his knee. Bakura took his hand back and smirked as he leaned in and whispered in his ear. "I'm next."
Yugi's eyes widened in fear and confusion. What did that mean? He gulped and moved a little closer to Atem. Atem smiled and wrapped his arm around him loosely. Yugi felt a little safe at that but he still wanted to have a few words with Bakura at the end of the show. He waited for the credits to roll by before slipping out. Bakura smirked and followed him knowingly.
"What did you mean by that back there?" Yugi asked in a sharp but quiet tone as they stepped into an empty hallway.
"You can't tell me you don't know." Bakura smirked. "I want you when Atem is done with you." He slowly drew his hands up the little one's arms then back down. "I can pay you double what he is paying you."
"S-sure." Yugi looked away as he nodded.
"Good." Bakura smiled and walked off as Atem came into view.
"What's wrong? You have been quiet since we got back to the hotel." Atem asked as they sat a mile apart on the couch. Yugi shrugged and looked away. "Yugi, I don't want to play these games, Now I asked you a question."
"Like you care, I am just a Hooker. Pass me around, I don't care." He muttered.
"Excuse me?" Atem arched an eyebrow, "what are you talking about?"
"You went and told people I was a prostitute."
"You are a prostitute." Atem barked "And I did not tell everyone."
"You told Bakura! He was flirting with me and told me he was next after you." Yugi shuttered as tears rolled down his cheeks. "You knew I was feeling a little self-conscious about that and you went and told people." Yugi stood up and headed for the door. "You only care about yourself. I can't do this anymore."
"Sit back down!" Atem ordered. "You are not to go anywhere, you are my employee and I will not allow you to leave."
"I am not your little pleasure slave, I leave when I want. And I want to leave!" Yugi yelled and ran out the door and toward the elevator. Thank god it was open; he pressed the L button that would take him to the lobby. Atem was right behind him.
