I do hope that everyone is enjoying 'Hunted'.

Atemu was proud of the destruction that he caused to the vehicles just to keep Yugi from being taken away. Now he just had to wait to rescue the Hikari. Silently stalking the halls, he came across a room with a fire on the floor. Looking into it he saw the angel who had nearly caused Yugi and the other two to lose themselves. Deciding that the unintentional 'evil' this particular being nearly caused was forgivable compared to what these people did, Atemu entered the room.

"Why are you here," the angel asked.

Atemu examined the flames as he replied, "Releasing you, Angel. Your 'crime' is forgiven as your trespass is less than that which these people are doing to me and mine."

Atemu put the flames out and looked to where the angel stood only to find him gone.

By the time Seto arrived, Atemu had made his presence known to Atem and Mai. The Daywalker growled at the female, "What have you done to the young one?!"

"He's been prepared for Hibernation in the Arctic," Mai replied.

Atem glared at her, "What is the code you used to seal the pod?"

"Today's date. We use the date we put them in Hibernation as the code to lock the capsules. It's policy."

Atem looked upon the icy white face of his brother as Atemu carefully removed him from the cold capsule. He noticed the blackened spot on Yugi's thin arm as he removed the muzzle and electric collar and checked Yugi over. "Who did this to my brother!?"

Vivian gulped involuntarily, "I did."

"What did you use on this boy," Atemu demanded.

"Salt water and demon's blood."

Atemu's eyes narrowed, "You've poisoned him! Demon blood is deadly to any with angel blood in their veins! If I hadn't sworn to protect humans, your whole team would have been wiped out the second I had arrived here."

Atem had been trying to warm Yugi, but he wasn't responding. "Atemu, can you get him home quickly," Atem pleaded as he rubbed Yugi's cold arm.

Atemu carefully picked the toddler up and vanished into the shadows. Atem then turned on the A.C.T.s, "What else have you done to him?"

Mako gulped, "The standard procedures that Mai had approval of: The removal of any and all fangs and plugging the sockets to prevent regrowth, the electric collar to ensure control of the subject, the muzzle to keep it from biting anyone, and an injection to cause the Supernatural in question to become violently ill after partaking of any and all blood types for seventy-two hours."

Atem punched the wall in anger. "How dare you do that to Yugi! He was completely innocent and you've harmed him after assuming that he was the one responsible for your attacks in my woods!"

Atemu appeared in the dining hall of the mansion and used his Shadows to sweep the dining table of its settings. "ISHIZU! ISIS! Get in here! I need your help," Atemu shouted as he laid Yugi down.

Paige ran in behind the two women Atemu had called. She had a bandage on her forehead from the attack. She froze when she saw the still form of her favorite boy on the table. "What happened," Paige asked.

Atemu looked at her, "He's been poisoned with demon blood. It was stopped when he was put in that cold capsule those people had him in, but now that he's warming up it's spreading."

"I can't help him," Ishizu admitted. "I don't know how to reverse this."

"I might be able to help Yugi," Paige stated as she stepped closer.

Atemu stepped aside, "How do you propose that?"

"I'm a Whitelighter," Paige admitted. "A sort of guardian angel for witches. Only I'm also a witch. My parents were a witch and her Whitelighter. But that doesn't matter. I can heal Yugi and I won't take no for an answer. He's like a brother to me and I refuse to let him suffer like this."

Atemu stepped aside, Ishizu and Isis following his lead. Paige stepped closer to Yugi and let out a deep breath. Closing her eyes and focusing on healing Yugi, she placed her hands over the blackened arm. Everyone watched as the black markings receded and vanished. Yugi whimpered as he woke up and began crying. Paige gently pulled him into a reassuring hug, trying to calm him down.

Atem gave his statement to Seto and his men before he was permitted to return to the mansion. He called his father while en-route to his home. "Dad, there's been an incident and I need your help."

"What happened boy?"

"The A.C.T.s took Yugi and poisoned him. We got him back, but they did things to him, Dad, awful things."

"I'll be there by morning. I'm sending John's boys since they're closer."

"Thanks Dad. Seto's taking charge of that division until he can find someone else to run it."

"Good. Take care of your brother until I get there."

When he got home, Atem headed straight for the infirmary. He found Atemu sitting in his chair with Yugi sleeping soundly in his arms. Atemu looked up when Atem entered. "Yugi would not settle down unless I held him. Paige tried to hold him, but he wouldn't stop crying until I took him."

Atem sighed, "He can't be given any blood for three days and will need to be watched for any problems until further notice."

Ishizu answered the door after hearing the buzzer in the main hall sound. She greeted the two men, "Sam, Dean. Please come in."

"Is everything alright," Sam questioned as he hung his coat on the rack by the door. "You look like you haven't slept in days."

"Too much has occurred as of late. Ryou was kidnapped during a Hunt and Yugi was taken as well. We managed to get Yugi back, but he was drugged and poisoned among other things while in the hands of the A.C.T.s."

Dean was taken aback, "Why did they take him?"

"A great miscommunication and lack of regard for protocol," she stated.

A loud wail sounded though the hall as Yugi ran through the mansion. "AMI! WAN AMI!" He tripped and fell on the rug and cried even louder.

Sam and Dean were shocked to see the toddler in a mansion full of Supernaturals and Hunters. Atem quickly entered the hallway and gathered the sobbing boy into his arms, "What's wrong, Yugi?"

"'Ou not wiff me and I had a bad dweam," Yugi whimpered as he snuggled into his brother's shoulder.

"So why didn't you want to ask Hermione to sit with you?"

"Wan you," Yugi answered with his face in Atem's sweater. "'Mione not you."
