Little Bitty Pretty One

Chapter Ten


Yugi Ran through the streets of the city toward the Flamingo, his heart pounding and legs telling him to keep going. He had to keep going because he knew if Atem got the chance to catch up with him, he would not be able to resist going back to him. He didn't know why that was; he just knew it was true.

"Yugi!" A strong voice called but that only made him run faster. "Come back here!" Atem called over and over but he lost the boy and stopped running. How could he have done this? All he wanted to do was save the boy from a life on the streets. Now he couldn't.


"Jounouchi, Boy. How are you? Do you have my money?"

"N-No Pegasus, I don't but I will give it to you when I get it, I swear!"

"I don't by that. Luckily you have one more chance; if Yugi comes through for you then I will let you keep that pathetic life of yours." Pegasus smiled darkly.

"He will. He always come through for me, he is my best friend." Jou stated in utter fear.

"Just to be sure I want you to stay here with me." Pegasus smirked as he pushed Jou into a chair hard smiling anew at the way Jou's face scrunched in pain from the force of it. Pegasus then pulled out a pair of hand cuffs and cuffed his hand behind his back. "Now be a god boy and sit tight."

"W-where are you going?" Jou winced as the cuffs cut into his perfect wrists his golden hair swept the back of the chair slightly and his milk chocolate eyes filled with fear and hatred. He wore tight light blue denim and a white t-shirt. It was a bit disheveled from the struggle he had with Pegasus before hand.

"I am going to get Yugi. His time is up." Pegasus smirked and walked out of the room and into the Alley where he smirked. "Well Well well. Yugi, do you have to money?"

Yugi panted and turned around and suddenly his lunch threatened to come back up, he began to wish that Atem would catch him. That wouldn't happen; he had lost the young businessman a long time ago. "I-I what money?"

"What money?" he laughed, "that's funny. Where is it?"

"I don't have it."

"Well, Jou's death will be all because of you."

"No! Don't kill him. Please!" Yugi begged. "You've always wanted me to work with you right? Well if you let Jou live I'll join you. I will let you be my Pimp."

"Hmm, Deal." Pegasus smirked and shook hands with the little one. After the handshake Yugi tried to pull his hand away but it was in vain as Pegasus yanked the boy into the room where Jou sat waiting. "But that doesn't mean I won't punish you for what you failed to do. This is what it is like working for me."

"But you said-"

"Ah. I said I wouldn't KILL Jounouchi, I never said I wouldn't torture him, or you for that matter." He smirked anew "I will have fun, breaking you."


"And what do you want me to do about it?" Seto yelled through the phone.

"I won't work until you help me find him." Atem said. "It's been two days and he isn't on the strip, no one has seen him. I need your help, Kaiba. How often do I ask for it?"

"Never so why start now?"

"Please Kaiba."

"He means that much to you?" Seto inquired. "I told you not to get involved. But it seems it's too late. You are so lucky you are my partner. I will be over in a moment."

"Thank you."


"Yugi? Yugi! Don't fall asleep!" Jou yelled as Yugi lulled his head forward in his chair, Pegasus had beaten the crap out of him. His shirt was ripped open and blood oozed out of open sores on his chest. "Pegasus Stop! He can't take anymore. Hit me instead."

"Why should I?"

"You'll kill him. Please. I can take more."

"You want more?"

"Yes! Just stop hurting him." Jou pleaded.

"Fine." Pegasus smirked.


After hours of researching the city, Atem and Seto were bushed. Yugi had not been found and Atem was losing all hope in ever finding him. "We can stop looking, we just can't."

"We looked everywhere, he's gone. Live with it." Seto said coldly.

"Yugi! Yugi wait up Dude," a voice from behind them chimed in. Atem turned around just as the boy ran up to them. "Pega-" his words were cut short when he noticed that Atem was not who he had been looking for.

"Yugi? You know Yugi?" Atem asked.

"You look just like him." He shook his head. "Yes I know him. I am Honda."

"Tell me where Yugi is." Atem grabbed the barkeep by the shoulders.

"I don't know, I thought you were him. An evil man is looking for him. Maybe he got to him already and we are too late."

"Too late? What do you mean? Who has him!" Atem shook the poor guy relentlessly and would have kept shaking if not for Seto's hand on his shoulder telling him to stop.

"This guy's office is this way. I'll show you." Honda took the two businessmen into an alley and knocked on the rusted green door in the wall.
