I know it's late but I'll explain at the end. for now enjoy.
Yugi sat clinging his bunny close to him. He wanted to go home. He wanted Atem. Whatever Dartz had planned for him he knew it wouldn't be good. It was going to hurt. Looking around the room he tried to find a way out. Under him was an old broken bed on the floor. Almost no furniture, nothing to grab in defense.
He tightened his hold on the bunny when he heard the door to the room unlocking. Whimpering he scooted as far back as he could trying to seem invisible. Sure he realized it was impossible but he could try right?
"Let's go runt. Dartz wants you." Valon said as he walked in.
Yugi gulped. He knew better than to ignore what Dartz wanted. He stood slowly and walked over. Valon looked down at the bunny and ripped it from his grasp.
"Hey no give it back!" Yugi screamed, reaching for it. Valon held it up where he couldn't get it.
"Aww what's wrong? Does the little baby need his bun bun?" Valon laughed before shoving it into Yugi's chest. Yugi clung to it as tears fell. "Pathetic. Let's go."
Yugi reluctantly followed Valon out.
Dartz sat on a large leather couch waiting. Yugi walked up to stand in front of him. His entire body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Ah little Yugi." Dartz smirked at him.
"D-Dartz." Yugi muttered. "Atem w-will find me. He's gonna be mad."
"Oh don't worry little one." Dartz said standing. "He won't be alive long enough to be too mad."
Yugi's eyes widened. "You can't hurt him!"
"Yeah? Who's gonna stop me? You?" Dartz asked.
"I…Yes." Yugi said.
"And how is that?" Dartz asked.
"W-what do you want? Anything you want. I'll give you anything you want." Yugi said.
"And if that anything is you?" Dartz asked, smirking.
"I'll stay with you." Yugi looked down.
Dartz went to him and moved his hand through Yugi's hair before grabbing a fist full and pulling his head back. Yugi let out a yelp. "Such a good little pup huh?"
Yugi whimpered but didn't dare move. "Y-yes sir."
"Alright. I won't hurt him. Now Valon will take you back to your room. Get used to it because you'll be spending a lot of time there." Dartz said.
"Yes sir." Yugi whimpered. Dartz let him go. Valon took him back to the room. Yugi sat on the bed as Valon went to a door Yugi didn't see before. It was a closet. From inside Valon pulled out a heavy chain. Yugi gulped and watched Valon attach one side to Yugi's ankle and the other to a metal ring in the center of the room.
"Sleep tight runt." Valon said before leaving. Yugi heard the door lock.
He looked down at his bunny. "I'm sorry Ryou. I can't give it back." he whispered before curling up on the bed with the bunny.
Atem yelled in frustration and punched the wall. He and Yami were in Solomon's living room.
"Atem calm down." Yami said. "We'll find him."
"He's a pup Yami! Just a pup!" Atem yelled.
"And I understand that but if we don't remain calm he doesn't stand a chance." Yami said. "Now where is the rest of the pack?"
"On the way." Atem said. "Bakura put a tracking device in the rabbit Ryou gave Yugi. He is currently trying to pinpoint it."
"Alright." Yami nodded. "We'll find him Atem."
Atem ran a hand through his hair. "I told him I would protect him. I told him Dartz would never hurt him again, Yami. I can't break that promise."
"You won't. It's Dartz. What's the one thing he wants more than anything?" Yami asked.
"Me dead." Atem said. "Us. Dead."
"He's using Yugi to get to you." Bakura said, walking in with the rest of the pack. "Look." he showed Atem his phone. A little red dot was shown on the screen. "It's dead center of the city Atem. He isn't exactly hiding. I can guarantee you, Yugi is bate."
"Even so we need to get him!" Atem yelled.
"No, you need to stay here." Marik said. "If you stay here there's less of a chance of Yugi getting hurt."
"I can't stay here." Atem said. "I have to go for him."
"No. You need to trust us to bring him home." Marik said. He looked at Yami. "Sennen."
Yami nodded. "I am coming too."
"Fuck no." Bakura growled.
"Bakura you get me or you get Yami." Atem said.
Bakura glared at Yami. "You get in our way, I will kill you."
"Kura." Ryou said. "Please. Just bring Yugi back."
Bakura nodded. "I will. Have any and all first aid ready."
Atem sat in the living room waiting. He stared at the tv not that it was on. From behind him footsteps came.
"Yugi. It's my Yugi isn't it?" Solomon asked.
"I…I don't know but we can find out." Atem said. "Once he is home."
"Dartz. What does he want with Yugi?" Solomon asked, sitting next to Atem. "Who is he?"
Atem sighed before explaining everything. At the end Solomon remained silent in shock. He hated having to tell Solomon this. Hated the idea of Yugi being back in Dartz's clutches.
"I'm sorry." Atem said.
"I…need some time." Solomon said standing and leaving.
Yugi laid shivering curled around the bunny. He was so cold. Cold and hungry. Tears fell from his eyes as he tried to ignore the cold. He sniffled.
"Tem." he cried. "I'm sorry."
"Time to eat runt." Valon said walking in. He dropped a tray of horrible looking food. "You have 10 minutes."
Yugi turned away and ignored the food. Hungry or not, he didn't trust food from them. "Leave me alone." he muttered.
"Listen I don't care if you eat or not I'm just following orders. As far as I'm concerned you're better off dead." Valon said
"Then kill me." Yugi said.
Valon grabbed him by his hair making him cry out. He forced Yugi to look at him. "Don't tempt me."
Yugi whimpered. Valon dropped him before turning to the tray. "Fine, starve yourself." he picked it up and left locking the door behind him.
That night Yugi laid down, forcing himself to stay awake. He couldn't go to sleep. Even with him being as exhausted as he was if he went to sleep he'd being giving them the chance to torture or kill him.
Some time later his eyes drooped. Maybe he could sleep a little bit.
Yugi woke some time later to a bad smell. His nose wrinkled up as he stood holding his bunny. He followed it to the door Valon came in and out of. Was is gas? A fire? It got stronger as he got closer to the door. Stopping he backed away his gut screaming at him bad feelings.
Tightening his hold on his bunny he moved to the far end of the room. Whimpering he sat and curled up. He didn't want to die this way. He didn't want this.
Tears fell as he sat there for an unknown amount of time. "Tem." He cried.
The know on the door twisted as someone tried to get in. Behind it mumbles voices spoke. Yugi whimpered and curled up tighter trying to seem invisible.
"Just knock it down!" An unfamiliar voice said.
A moment later the door was slammed into. It happened a couple times before the door busted in. Yugi whimpered.
"Get out of my way." Bakura growled before stepping in. "Yugi."
Yugi's head snapped up. "K-Kura? Kura!" He jumped up and ran to him. He jumped at him and bakura easily caught him.
"Hey kid. Let's get you home." Bakura said.
"Kura?" The unfamiliar voice came closer. Yugi whimpered and clung to Bakura.
"He's one of two that gets away with calling me that asshole." Bakura growled at the man. "Alright Yami let's go. Marik is waiting for us." Bakura carried Yugi out. Marik stood waiting out front.
"Hey kid. Ready to go to Atem?" Marik asked him. "Ryou and Malik are waiting for you too."
Yugi nodded.
Atem paced the room. He hated this. Hated not having Yugi safe with him. Yugi was doing so good and now this would set him back.
"Atem pacing won't help. Sit down." Ryou said.
"Atem." Solomon said softly. "We need to talk."
Atem sighed. "I know."
"That's my grandson? Truly my grandson?" Solomon asked.
"Yes. I believe so." Atem said.
"How? How is he in your pack? I have known you for years. He's never been around before." Solomon said.
"He just recently came. He was in Dartz's pack." Atem said sadly.
Solomon's eyes widened. He'd heard enough about Dartz from Atem and Yami to know what the man is like. "No."
Atem nodded. "I didn't know who he was. I didn't know what Dartz was doing to him. But he's with us now. And after this I promise Dartz will not get him again."
Solomon sighed. "I'd have him stay with me but I know he needs a pack."
Atem nodded slightly. "Perhaps we can move closer. So he can be near you. His family."
Solomon gasped. "Heba! I need to go pick him up!"
"You go. We'll be here waiting." Atem said.
"I'm gonna go with him. If that's ok." Malik said.
Atem nodded. "I think that's a great idea. And Heba will be excited to see you." Malik nodded before they left.
Atem sighed and sat on the couch. "What a mess."
"It's going to be ok." Ryou said. "We'll get him back. And I have all medical supplies ready just in case."
Atem nodded before he heard the door open. He looked to it. Yami walked in. He was covered in bruises and blood. Whose he wasn't sure.
"You think I'm bad you should see Marik." Yami joked wincing as he limped in.
"Go to Ryou." Atem said as Marik came in next. "You too. And you can get the lecture from Malik."
"Worth it." Marik smirked darkly.
Atem rolled his eyes as Bakura came in carrying Yugi who was out cold.
"Yugi." He ran to them.
"Easy Atem he's very weak." Bakura said. "We need to lie him down."
Atem let him in before closing the door.
"Ryou he breathed in gas and now he won't wake up." Bakura said.
"Ok Atem I need a nebulizer." Ryou said.
Atem nodded and ran for one.
Ryou pulled out a smelling salt and put it under Yugi's nose. Yugi woke up looking and feeling dazed.
"Hey." Ryou smiled softly. "Welcome back bud."
Yugi whimpered. "Tem?"
"Yugi." Atem said as he came back with a nebulizer.
"Tem." Yugi cried reaching for him.
"Easy." Atem sat with him. Yugi curled up to him as he coughed.
"Here breathe this in. It will help clean your lungs out Yugi." Ryou handed him a mask connected to the nebulizer. Yugi hesitated before doing as told.
He kept the mask on as he climbed onto Atem's lap and curled up. Atem cradled him. Yugi looked up at him with his big cute eyes.
"It's ok. You're safe now." Atem assured him. Yugi curled closer and soon fell asleep.
"Atem we need to talk." Yami whispered.
Atem sighed and laid Yugi down. "About?"
"Dartz." Bakura said as Ryou cleaned him up.
"It's bad." Marik said.
Atem looked between the three of them and nodded. "Alright in the kitchen."
Yugi ran to Atem and tackled him. Atem laughed and held him close.
"Did you have fun at your grandfather's Yugi?" Atem asked.
Yugi nodded. "I missed you though. I hate being away from you."
"I do too baby." Atem kissed him. "Now come on. Yami is waiting for us."
They stood and Yugi took Atem's hand. "Can you believe it?"
"Believe what?" Atem asked.
"We have been together for 5 years. The three of us. Don't tell me you forgot our anniversary." Yugi scolded.
"Of course not babe. How can I forget? Yami is finishing up your surprise now. And if you recall another anniversary is coming up."
Yugi blinked confused.
"The day you came to the pack." Atem smiled.
Yugi blushed. "Do we have to celebrate that embarrassing time? My mental state was-"
"Perfectly normal. Dartz traumatized you. Don't forget it's not your fault for what he did to you. You learned and grew and came out on top." Atem smiled. "Besides watching you 'grow up' was adorable. So many pictures to look back on."
Yugi groaned. "I'll find that album and burn it one of these days."
"Good luck with that babe. Come on." Atem smiled and walked him home.
Yugi woke up and rubbed his eyes. "Tem?" He looked around nervously.
"I'm here Yugi." Atem said coming into the living room.
Yugi pouted. "I'm hungry."
"I figured you would be." Atem handed him a plate of food.
Yugi smiled and began eating. Half way through he paused. "Tem do you love Yami?"
Atem blinked shocked by the question. "Where did that come from?"
Yugi shrugged not wanting to tell him about the dream.
Atwm sighed. "It doesn't matter now Yugi. It's in the past."
"But what about the future?" Yugi asked.
"Yugi you're still young you don't need to worry about the future." Atem said.
"But-" Yugi started.
Atem kissed his head. "Eat ok."
Yugi nodded and started eating again. Maybe his dream was wrong. Oh well.
