Here's the next chapter of changed! Ok before I start I got a few people asking me if I will have Yugi commit suicide. The answer is no. I have had too many people in my life do that and I can't put it in my story. Well hope you enjoy! R&R!

Chapter 5: Pet

"That's the last starter pack." Atem said giving the pack to Solomon.

"Alright. Can you go up to Yugi and let him know dinner will be ready in a half hour?" Solomon asked.

"Uh sure." Atem left for Yugi.

Atem came into the room to find it empty. "Huh. That's odd. I guess he went out? But aren't Ryou and Malik on their trip? Then where would he go?" he then went down stairs to the kitchen. "He's not-Solomon?"

Solomon was sitting at the table holding Yugi's cellphone. Tears running down his face he looked up at Atem. Atem's heart stopped.

"Yugi's gone." Solomon said.

"What?" Atem asked.

"He's gone. He left and he doesn't plan coming back." Solomon gave him the cellphone. He then got up and grabbed the house phone. "I need to call around. Someone must know where he is." Solomon went to the leaving.

Atem looked at the phone. It read: Grandpa Ryou and Malik, I'm sorry I've been so much trouble. I won't be a bother on you all anymore. Don't worry I'll be fine. With love, Yugi.

"Oh Yugi." Atem sighed. He put the phone down and pulled his own out. He called Malik.

"Atem? What is it?" Malik asked.

"Yugi ran away." Atem said.

"What!?"

"Yeah. He left his cellphone with a note on it."

"What does it say?"

"He's for being a lot of trouble and that he won't be a bother anymore."

"Nothing that says where he's going?"

"No. I was wondering if there was anywhere particular he liked to go."

"There are a couple places. But you won't like them."

"What do you mean?"

"They aren't exactly uh nice places."

"As in what exactly are they?"

"First there's the woods, then there's the abandoned house, then there's the warehouse."

"Why does he like these places?"

"The bullies don't know about them. Nor does grandpa. He feels as though he can escape from the world when he goes to them. The problem is that the woods are huge. If he's in the woods it could take days to find him. And that's if he stays in one spot in the woods."

"Great. Alright I'll check those places. Where are house and warehouse?"

"The house is across town by the supply store and the warehouse isn't far from the house."

"Alright. I'll call you and keep you updated." Atem hung up before Malik could say anything. He then ran up stairs and threw his shoes on before running out to find Yugi.

Yugi sighed and sat down on the ground. He looked around the house. "Every other time I come here and I feel at peace. This time though I-I feel like an outsider. I don't belong at home or school and here I'm trespassing. I have no where to go." He pulled his knees up and hugged them. "Am I coward for running away? All this time I've been able to get through by being cold. But now I can't do anything."

He went up the master bedroom of the house. It was pretty clean and all the furniture was still in it. He put his Ipod on the end table and sat on the king sized bed. Sitting and staring at the bed he thought about everything that had happened to him.

Flashback starts

Yugi was an amazing day. He was excited as well. He had finally built up the courage to ask a boy named Kyle out. Yugi had practically ran to school.

When he got there though he stopped in his tracks. Everyone was staring at him in disgust. He looked around confused before going to Kyle's locker. He found the teen standing there pulling his books out.

Yugi always loved seeing Kyle. Sometimes it even made his day. He walked up to Kyle and smiled at him. "Hey Kyle."

Kyle looked over at Yugi with his hazel eyes. "What do you want?" he asked nastily.

Yugi was surprised by this. "I just have a question for you. I was wondering if you would go to the movies with me or something like that."

"Hell no! Why would I want to go with someone like you?"

"W-what? What's wrong with me?"

"You means besides you being a disgusting whore?"

Yugi's eyes widened. "What are you talking about!?"

"You know perfectly well what I'm talking. Stay away from me. I don't want a disease or something." Kyle closed his locker and walked away from Yugi leaving him dumbfounded.

Yugi walked to his first class completely confused. He set his books down and sat there at his desk staring at the books. "What did I do? What diseases?" then it hit him. "He meant sexually transmitted diseases. Oh Ra. But I-I haven't slept with anyone. Ever."

He looked up to see Tea walk in. He smiled. "Well at least she'll help me through this." He said as she took her seat next to him. (in Atem's current seat)

"Hey Tea." Yugi smiled.

"Hi Yugi. Hey I've heard some concerning rumors today. About you." She said.

"Apparently its going around that I slept with someone and I have a disease. But I don't!"

"Well we'll figure this out. Don't stress over it too much ok?" she smiled. If only Yugi knew that smile was completely fake.

"Thanks Tea. I knew I could count on you." Yugi smiled and turned his attention to the teacher.

End flashback

Yugi wiped tears that were rushing down. "That was just the beginning. It only got worse from there."

Flashback

"Yugi!" Tea called smiling and running to him. Yugi smiled.

"Hi Tea. What's up?" Yugi asked

"Not much. Hey feel like going to the arcade? I know you don't want to go out much anymore but its been 2 weeks. You need to get out."

"I know but its still going around school. I can't even go to the bathroom without being stared at or talked to."

"I promise we'll fix this."

"I'm going to tell grandpa."

"No don't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because he'll come to the school and freak out on everyone. Then you'll get picked on more. Do you want that?"

"No but-"

"Then trust me. Don't tell grandpa."

Yugi sighed. "Ok. I won't."

Tea smiled. "Come on let's go to the arcade." Yugi nodded and followed her hesitantly to the arcade.

Yugi walked in with Tea and stood silent. He waited for something to be thrown at him or people to start calling him a whore or slut. When it didn't happen he was surprised but decided not to question it. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up at Tea who was smiling down at him. He nodded.

They went to different games trying to decide what to play. They came to the back of the arcade when Tea stopped. "I need to go to the bathroom. I'll meet you back here."

"Ok Tea." Yugi nodded and smiled.

He stood there waiting for her to return when he was grabbed. He gasped before his mouth was covered and his arms pressed against his body. He tried to fight who ever it was but it was in vain. Struggling he felt himself get pulled back. He watched as he got pulled out of the back door of the building and into a back ally.

He was pinned against the building with his mouth still covered. He looked up to see a man. The man was huge. His face had a scar on the forehead and he had dark eyes.

"Scream and I'll cut you." The man pulled out a knife. Yugi gulped and nodded. "Good now we're going to have some fun." He smirked down at Yugi.

Yugi's heart raced and his breathing became rapid as the man moved his hand under Yugi's shirt. 'No. Ra no. Please stop. Please!' Yugi thought

The man's smirk grew at Yugi's reaction. "I'm going to put my knife away but make no mistake if you struggle or try something funny I won't hesitate to pull it out and cut you. Understood?" Yugi nodded. "Good."

Putting the knife away and laughing he grabbed Yugi and pinned him to the ground. Yugi began shaking. "P-please let me go."

"But why would I do that? I could do so much with your body." The man ripped Yugi's t-shirt off. He shivered as it began raining down on them. Yugi felt a hand travel down to his pants. He panted as his pants were unbuttoned and taken off along with his boxers. "This is going to be fun. Well for me at least." He undid his own pants and pulled them and his boxers down.

Yugi wanted to get away, but if he struggled the man will cut him. He was stuck and there was no way out. No one to save him. Maybe Tea would notice him gone and look for him. If not he would be violated right here right now and there's nothing he could do about it.

The man laughed as he pulled Yugi into position. Yugi whimpered. Smirking the man pushed himself into Yugi fast and hard. Yugi screamed out in pain. This made the man laugh more. He was getting off on Yugi's pain and Yugi knew it.

He didn't wait for Yugi to get adjusted. He just started thrusting hard and roughly. Yugi couldn't help but scream out in pain more. It was the worst pain he had ever felt and it wouldn't stop. It just continued no matter how many times the man thrusted I to him.

The pain got worse when the man grabbed Yugi's member and pulled it harshly. Screaming in pain Yugi began begging to be let go. "Please! Please let me go. Please stop!" he begged.

The man smirked and hit Yugi shutting him up instantly. "The more you scream the more I'll make it hurt. Understand?" Yugi nodded. "Good."

The man smirked and let go of his member. He then moved his hands up Yugi's stomach and chest. Yugi's breathing grew faster as he grew nervous as the hands moved to his neck. They tightened slightly. Not enough to cut of oxygen but enough to make Yugi feel panicked. He gulped making the man's smirk grow.

"Feeling a bit nervous? I like that. I like seeing the fear in your eyes. It, shall we say, moves me." He sneered as his grip tightened a bit more. Still Yugi could breath but he still felt panicked. Was he planning on choking him or was he just toying with his emotions. Either way Yugi wished he would stop.

"P-please stop." Yugi begged staying completely still.

"But I'm having so much fun." He sneered tightening his grip more. This time however Yugi felt pressure on his throat. He could breath but he knew if this continued he wouldn't be able to. He wanted to pull the hands off but he was scared if he tried the man would tighten his grip completely.

Yugi gulped. "Please. Why are you doing this?"

"Because I feel like it. Have a problem with that?" the man growled his grip tightening again. Yugi could just barely get air in.

"N-no." he managed to get out.

The man smirked down at him. "Hm I wonder how far I can push you. Shall we see?" he didn't wait for an answer he just tightened his grip completely. Yugi's eyes widened as he tried to gasp for air. He grabbed at the man's wrists trying to pull them off. The man just laughed. "Oh yes. Such fun."

'Oh Ra. He's going to kill me. I'm going to die here.' Yugi thought as he tried to breath. He looked up at the man who was laughing. Just when he thought the man would just kill him the grip disappeared and he could breath again. He coughed as he gasped for air.

"Oh don't worry. I'm not planning on killing you. As I've said. I'm having too much fun. I can't just end it by killing you. Maybe later I will. Hm maybe. Though it is fun controlling whether you live or die like this. I want to know how far I can push it." he pulled out and pushed back into Yugi roughly.

Yugi screamed as the man continued this. He let Yugi's breathing even out before he started to slowly tighten his grip again. Yugi knew he would get to the point of not being able to breath again. This only made him panic more. When the grip tightened completely again Yugi tried pull his hands off again.

The man laughed as he just continued tightening his grip. When he felt Yugi's grip on his wrists loosen he stopped. Yugi gasped and coughed again. "You are so much fun little Yugi."

Yugi looked at him surprised. "How….do you…know…my name?" he asked between coughs.

"Hm. That's a detail for later." He said as he thrusted into Yugi a few more times and soon came in Yugi. The teen screamed in pain at the last thrust. The man then slipped out rather roughly. He pulled his boxers and pants before kneeling next to him and pressing his hand down on Yugi's throat cutting of his oxygen immediately. "This was fun. I look forward to the next time." He smirked. "Oh and I'm sure you figured that if you tell anyone I will kill you. After I have some more fun of course. So I suggest you keep quiet. Understand?" Yugi managed to nod. The man smirked and let go of his grip on Yugi's throat. He stood. "Until next time." He walked away leaving Yugi laying there in the rain.

Yugi coughed as he curled into a ball. He pushed himself into a sitting position. "I-I better get home." He slowly got up and got dressed. Well everything except his shirt. He picked it up finding it completely torn. "Great I'm going to show up at home with no shirt on. Grandpa is going to kill me." He muttered and started walking home not bothering to go see Tea.

End flashback.

Yugi wiped away the tears from remembering that night. "I didn't know just how much I would see that man. Not until he came back." Yugi held his knees to his chest and put his face into them. He let the tears fall. "Here I am months later and I still can't deal with it. I can't talk to grandpa about it, I can't talk to Ryou or Malik. I just shut them out because I'm still afraid he'll come back for me again. And I know our payment is due tomorrow. H-he'll find me and take me to the warehouse."

He cried more than he had before. "Its almost half a year later and he still does this to me every two weeks. Malik and Ryou think I go to the warehouse for escape but that's not true. I go to it because of the man. I used to just not go but I found that if I don't he finds me and practically drags my there by my hair and hidden knife to my back. I have no choice in this anymore." He sighed as he weakly got up.

Going to the bathroom he looked in the mirror. His eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying, he looked paler than he normally did, and he was dirty. He looked at his arm. He gulped before reading the words. "Whore, slut, prostitute, cunt." He felt tears rush down. "Oh Ra. They're terribly infected. I wonder if going to a clinic will help. Guess I don't have a choice anymore." He went back to the bed and lay down in it. He had cleaned the room completely last time he was at the house.

He fell asleep hoping to sleep through the night. He doesn't have to be at the warehouse until the next night at 8 pm so he could go to the clinic in the morning.

Atem ran out of the house and ran all the way to the abandoned warehouse. He ran in and began searching. Coming to the last room he hoped to find Yugi. However when he walked in he stopped dead in his tracks. There was a bed with cuffs connected to the headboard and footboard bars. Next to the foot of the bed was a table with multiple objects on it. There was a whip, a gag, and multiple types of ropes and knives. He looked around and saw a hook on the ceiling with a short chain on it. On the ends of the chain are cuffs.

"What the hell? This can't be the right place." Atem said backing out of the room and turned to run out of the warehouse. Once out he took a fee breaths. "What…the fuck…did I just…see?" He started to walk towards the house when his phone started ringing.

He pulled it out. "Hello?"

"Atem. Malik told me Yugi ran away. Have you found him yet?" Ryou's voice came over the phone.

"No. Not yet. I just checked the warehouse. He uh he wasn't there. I was about to check that house." Atem said.

Ryou sighed. "Just go check woods. But its getting late. If you don't find him in an hour go home and start in the morning. Yugi has places he stays over night. He'll be safe. But its not safe for you to go walking around at night. Search the woods in the morning."

"But if you know where he stays can't you tell me so I can head right there?"

"No because I don't know where it is he stays. You see Yugi is very closed off. Even with Malik and I. So he doesn't tell us much. We don't even know entirely what happened between him and Tea."

"Shit. Alright. I'll search for an hour and if I don't find him I'll start another search in the morning."

"Ok. Malik and I hop on the next train back in the morning. When we get there we'll help look."

"Great. Ok I better go look before it gets dark. I'll see you tomorrow. And I'll keep you updated."

"See ya." Ryou hung up. Atem put his phone in his pocket and started heading right to the woods.

After an hour of searching Atem sighed and walked home. "Now I have to tell Solomon I couldn't find him. I hope I can find him tomorrow."

Once home he walked to the kitchen to find Solomon at the table holding Yugi's cellphone again. "Solomon?" the senior looked up at him. Atem looked down immediately. "I'm sorry. I couldn't find him. I was searching the woods when it grew dark. Ryou told me it wasn't safe for me to walk around is the woods when its dark."

"He was right. The woods is no place to be at night. Thank you for searching though." Solomon said.

"I'm going to go back in the morning and look some more. Did you eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Solomon sighed and got up. "You should eat Atem."

"Solomon please let me make you something to eat."

"No its ok. I'm just going to go up to bed. Goodnight Atem." Solomon smiled weakly before going upstairs.

Atem sighed and went to the room he shared with Yugi. He looked at Yugi's empty bed and felt like this was going to be a long night.

Yugi sighed as he walked out if the clinic. "They wanted to call the police when they saw the words. I managed to persuade them that I already had. I just hope it worked." He pulled his money out of his pocket as his stomach growled. "I have 30 dollars. Great. If I go meal by meal and do stuff from a gas station, I can eat for about three days. If I'm lucky." He stuck his money back in his pocket and walked to the nearest gas station. They had a clock hanging. He saw it was 3 pm.

"I woke up extremely late, then had to sit in the waiting room for an hour and a half. I sat in the office for a half hour then it took the doctor another half hour to check me over and fight with me about calling the police. I have 4 and a half hours until I have to head to the warehouse." Yugi muttered. The man hated Yugi being late. The last time Yugi wasn't there at exactly 8 pm he was punished. Yugi shivered. "Not a punishment I want to happen again."

Yugi walked into the gas station and grabbed a bottle of water and a couple fruit. He paid for them before starting back to the house. Once there he went straight to the master bedroom. Sitting on the bed he pulled out one of the fruit he bought. He took a bite of the apple and sighed in relief as his stomach finally stopped growling. "I'll only eat when I absolutely need to until I can find a way to get more money."

Yugi pulled out his Ipod and set an alarm for 7 pm. He'll be able to get up and eat a quick fruit before he went to…to his payment. He sighed as he put the iPod on the end table next to the bed. He lie down and started to fall asleep.

Yugi awoke to the alarm going off. He sleepily sat up and stretched. He looked at the ipod and tapped the dismiss symbol. He sat there and stared at the bed. "It never gets easier. No matter how long I've been doing this or how many times I've done this, it never gets easier. I literally hand myself over to my own personal rapist." Yugi wiped his eyes before the tears could fall.

The sun was setting and it was getting cooler. It was a good thing he grabbed a hoodie before he left… Sighing he slipped it on. He slipped on his shoes and went down to the kitchen of the house. It was pretty dusty but other than that it was clean. There was a table with four chairs and a counter with a sink. He looked up the sink and found old cleaners and some rags. He smiled softly and pulled them out.

After everything was cleaned he sat at the table. "If I can get electricity and water working or find a way to collect water could make it work here. I'll do jobs that don't require records and such. I'll make it somehow." Yugi said. He sat at the table for a while before looking at the time again. "7:30pm. Time to go."

It didn't take Yugi long to walk to the warehouse. He took a deep breath and walked in. He got to the room and noticed the man wasn't there yet. He took off his hoodie and folded it neatly before putting it in the far corner out of the way. He then took off his shoes and put them with his hoodie. Gulping he took the position the man wanted him in every time.

Kneeling down on his knees and bowing he waited for the man to walk in. Not knowing what time the man would be in he stayed in this position now matter how much it hurt. He didn't flinch when the door slammed open. He had learned not to flinch after the 5th time they had a payment.

"Well? What do you say when I enter?" the man growled.

"Welcome master." Yugi said clearly but lowly to show he was submissive.

"That's better now I feel like a hanging today. Get up." He ordered. Yugi did as told keeping his head down. He was never allowed to look at the man as if he was an equal. Yugi was told many times he was not the man's equal. He was bellow the man.

The man put a step stool under the hook. "Well, you know the routine. Step up and hold your arms up." He growled growing impatient. The step stool was as tall as his knees. This showed the hook for how high it was for him. He stepped up onto the stool and held his arms up while still looking down to the ground. He man smirked and put the cuffs on Yugi's wrist tightly. Yugi hissed in pain.

"What did I say about that?" the man growled.

"I-I'm sorry master. It won't happen again." Yugi said.

"It better not. This your only warning." He said before roughly kicking the stool making Yugi hang suddenly and harshly. He smirked when Yugi screamed out in pain. "Now now. No need for that."

Yugi hung silently waiting for the man to start. He kept his eyes focused on one spot on the floor. He didn't dare try to see what the man was grabbing. He hoped it wasn't the whip or knives. He didn't use them often but when he did it was because he was in a bad mood.

He saw feet move in front of him. He gulped and waited. His chin was lifted roughly and he was forced to look at the man. "Your shirt isn't off. Guess I'll have to take it off for you." He held up a knife. Yugi's eyes widened. The man put the at the top of Yugi's shirt. "Now don't move or I could end up cutting you." Yugi nodded. "I'm sorry if I'm not mistaken I thought you were to answer to me."

"Yes master." Yugi said.

"That's what I thought." He smirked and started cutting down the shirt. Yugi didn't move. He didn't want to be cut. Once finished the man smirked at him. "Now what to do with you. Hmm. I could whip you. I am in the mood for it. Or I can move you to that bed, cuff you and play with that pretty little neck of yours. I haven't touched that in a very long time."

Yugi gulped. The man could do any number of things to him. Yugi was helpless to fight it. He could be whipped where he hangs or cuffed to the bed on his stomach and whipped. The man could tie the rope around his neck and a bar of the headboard in a way that tightens with every little move Yugi makes. Then the man would find ways to make him move against his will.

"Hm let's have some fun while you're hanging then we'll move you to the bed. Yes this will be quite fun, don't you agree?" he smirked.

"Yes." Yugi nodded.

The smirk faded into a frown. The man grabbed the back of Yugi's head by the hair and yanked so his neck was exposed. Yugi felt the cold blade if the knife pressed lightly against his neck. "Yes what?" he growled.

"Y-yes master." Yugi said softly while wincing in pain.

"You know I think I've had enough of your disobedience. I believe you need to be punished."

"Master please. It won't happen again. I'll behave I swear." Yugi begged trying to stay completely still as the knife was still against his neck.

"You need to remember who your master is and how you are supposed to behave. Perhaps I need to re-train you." He smirked. Yugi's eyes widened.

"Please master. I'll behave. I promise. Please." He begged. Yugi didn't want to go through the man's training again. He would be in pain for at least a week. That couldn't happen. Being on his own he couldn't afford to be in pain for that long.

"No amount of begging will help you." He laughed as he looked over Yugi. He noticed the boy's arm. "What's that?" he growled.

Yugi's heart raced. "U-um." He was in trouble now. The man never liked him to have bruises or marks when they had these visits.

"Where did it come from?" he growled.

"A-a kid p-put it on m-me."

"Someone other than me marked you? You little shit. I am your master! No one else can mark you!" Yugi flinched at the man's tone. He would pay for Tristan's carvings on his arm. "Did you let him do this?"

"Y-yes master." Yugi said softly

"So you let someone other than your master mark you. Well that deserves a punishment. Not just any punishment. Oh no. You are going to get a punishment that sticks with you. You will learn from it and that lesson will remain in your mind for good." He glared at Yugi. The teen gulped and shook in fear.

The man grabbed the rope and went Yugi. "I put in a new bar. I think I know exactly what I want to do with it." He smirked and undid the cuffs making Yugi fall to the ground. The man pulled out another pair of cuffs out and cuffed Yugi's hands behind his back.

'What is he going to do?' Yugi thought. 'Oh Ra.'

The man lifted Yugi to his feet. "You ready?" Yugi stayed still and silent. He smirked taking Yugi to the bar. Yugi looked at it before looking back down. "Look forward." The man ordered. Yugi did as told. The man moved behind him. Scared, Yugi shut his eyes tightly.

He felt something go over his head and around his neck. It was tightened to hug his neck loosely. He grew more fearful of what was about to happen. He heard the man laugh.

"Alright little Yugi. It is time for your punishment. Then I will have some fun before I go." The man said. There was silence for a moment before the thing around his neck tightened and lifted him off the ground. He tried to gasp for air but couldn't bring any in.

'Oh Ra.' He thought.

He started to see black spots around his vision when he suddenly fell to the ground gasping and coughing for air. He lay on the ground gasping for air as the man walked to him. "This is your lesson for every word that is on your arm you will spend 40 seconds fighting for air. But you will lose. This will happen every time you come to me with marks I didn't put on you. Soon you will learn I am your only master."

Yugi watched as the man moved back to the end of the rope. The teen looked to see the rope was swung over the bar and when the man would pull on his end Yugi would be lifted from the ground and choked. 'One down three to go.' Yugi thought.

He tried to prepare himself but how could you prepare yourself for this? He felt the rope tighten as he was lifted off the ground again. His eyes shut tightly as he mentally counted down the seconds. Once he came to 40 he fell to the ground again. He gasped for air. "W-why?" he gasped out.

"Because I can and its fun. You know I don't have to do this anymore. Your friend Tea isn't paying me to do it. She only paid for the first time. That was just to touch you a bit. All this time I've been doing it for fun. And I'll continue to do it until I get bored. And you know what happens when I get bored with my pets. Don't you?" the man smirked.

Yugi paled and whimpered. "Y-you get rid of them. P-permanently."

"Exactly. Now don't you just hope I stay entertained?" the man asked. Yugi nodded. "As I thought. So I suggest you keep me entertained." Yugi nodded again.

After 2 mire times of being lifted and choked Yugi just wanted the man to have his fun so he could leave. However the man had a different idea. He lifted Yugi a 5th time. Yugi didn't expect it this time. He tried to fight for air but couldn't get any in. His vision was almost completely gone when he finally fell to the ground.

"Now for my fun." The man pulled the rope down and started dragging Yugi to the bed by the rope. Once there he threw the teen on the bed and uncuffed his hands before he cuffed them to the headboard. After pulling Yugi's pants and boxers down he cuffed his ankles.

"I think I'll leave the rope around your neck and tie it to the headboard. You move and it tightens." He smirked. Yugi nodded knowing not to argue. The man did as he said. Pulling down his own pants he positioned himself against Yugi's entrance. He thrusted into Yugi harshly. Yugi screamed in pain. No matter how many times the man did this to him it still hurt. He'll never get used to it.

Atem ran out of the woods. "I had to have checked that whole thing. He isn't in there. I checked the house he isn't there. Where is he?" he sighed. "I guess I can check the warehouse again to be sure. If he isn't there I don't know where he is." He ran to the warehouse.

He walked in and found it empty. He thought of the room he came across the day before. "I really don't want to think this but maybe he's in there." He went to the room. The door was shut. When he tried the door knob he found it locked. "What the?" he muttered.

He was about to kick the door down when he heard the lock turn. He quickly hid and watched as a man walked out. The man turned back to the room. "See you in two weeks my pet. Remember the lesson." The man said before leaving without noticing Atem. Atem waited a minute before going into the room. He fell dead silent and stood in shock.

There on the bed was Yugi with a rope around his neck and tied to the headboard. "Yugi!" he ran to him. "Oh Ra Yugi." The teen on the bed looked up at Atem weakly before his eyes slowly closed and Yugi went completely limp. "Wait Yugi wake up!" he shook the boy. When he didn't get any response he began untying the rope from around his neck.

Atem put Yugi's pants on him and then picked up the boy. He looked around for the teen's shirt and found it torn on the ground. He saw Yugi's hoodie and decided it was better than nothing. He slipped it on the boy and zipped it up. "let's get you to the hospital." He said before leaving.

Atem walked to the center of Domino and into the hospital. "Help please!" he yelled. Nurses and doctors ran to him. Before Atem could blink Yugi was out of his arms. He immediately pulled his phone out and called Solomon.

"Atem? What is it?" Solomon answered.

"Solomon I found Yugi. But he was….look just get to the hospital now." Atem said.

"I'll be right there. Call Ryou and Malik." Solomon hung up.

Atem then dialed Ryou's number.

"Atem please tell me you have good news." Ryou answered.

"Yes and no." Atem said.

"What do you mean? Have you found Yugi?"

"Yes, at the warehouse. But how I found him is the bad news. Come to the hospital with Malik and I'll explain."

"We'll be over in a bit." Ryou hung up.

Atem dialed Bakura's number and went outside of the hospital. "Come on pick up you ass." He muttered.

"What do you want? I told you I'm not helping look for that runt." Bakura growled.

"I found him. But you know that favor you owe me?" Atem asked

"What of it?"

"I using it. I need you to find a man for me. He had Yugi locked in a room and when I got into the room Yugi was tied to a headboard with a rope around his neck. I want that man found Bakura."

"I need a description."

"Dark hair and a scar on his face."

"That the best you got?"

"Yes I was focused on getting Yugi to the hospital asshole. Can you find him?"

"Who do you think you're talking to? Of course I can find him. I'll call you when I have him." Bakura hung up.

Atem went back in the hospital and sat down. He waited for any news on Yugi. After 20 minutes if hearing nothing he began pacing. "Come on. What's taking so long?" he muttered as Solomon Ryou and Malik ran in.

"Atem!" Solomon said.

"Hello." Atem said back.

"Have you heard anything?" Ryou asked.

Atem shook his head. "Not yet. They had him out of my arms the moment I walked in."

"What happened?" Malik asked.

Atem began explaining about how he found Yugi and the man coming out of the room. He hated seeing the hurt looks they were giving him. By the time he was finished explaining everything Solomon slowly sat in a chair.

"My grandson. My Yugi. Oh Ra. I hope he's ok." Solomon said. Ryou and Malik sat down on either side of Solomon and comforted him.

"He will be grandpa. You know Yugi. He would never leave you like this. He loves you more than anything." Ryou said.

"He'll be up and driving us crazy in no time." Malik said.

Atem sighed as a doctor came to them. "Are you the ones here for the boy who was brought in?" She asked.

"Yes. I'm his grandfather. How is he?" Solomon asked standing up.

"We're doing all we can at the moment but we need his medical records and such. What is his name?"

"Yugi Moto. His father was Akio Moto and his mother was Akira Saito who married my son and became a Moto."

"Alright. Thank you we will update you as soon as we can." The doctor left. Solomon sat back down.

Yugi was ready to give in to death. 'What's the point in living? I'm a bother to grandpa and my friends, a pet to a man who hurts me for fun, and a nuisance at school.' Yugi thought.

"You can't give in so easily Yugi." A female voice came.

'Mom?'

"Yes it's me. You can't give up Yugi. Your grandfather needs you. You can't let them push you out to death. You can push through this."

'How can you know this?'

"I know because you are my strong son and you take after your father. So stubborn. Use that stubbornness now my son. Show them just how hard headed you are."

He felt a warmth before electricity ran through his heart. "Nothing! Once more!" he heard a voice yell. "Clear!" the voice called as another surge of electricity ran throw him.

"We have a heartbeat!" another voice yelled.

His eyes slowly blinked open. He blinked more trying to get his vision to focus. When it did he found himself in a white room with people in scrubs. "W-where…am…I?" he managed.

"Yugi. It'll be ok. Just stay with us. Your grandfather is waiting for you." The first voice came from a woman. Yugi faintly nodded. The doctor and nurses continued working on him.

Solomon sighed and Atem paced as Ryou and Malik sat together hoping for the best. It gad been 45 minutes since the doctor last spoke to them for Yugi's name. They were growing impatient. Well at least Atem was. Ryou and Malik kept telling him to relax and that Yugi would be ok but it didn't settle his mind.

They stood up as the doctor came over. She smiled softly. "Yugi will be just fine. He has a nasty infection. We suspect it cane from his arm not being treated properly. We had a scare but he is stable now." She explained.

"Can we see him?" Solomon asked.

"Yes but be warned he is very weak. He was choked with what we think was rope multiple times. He has marks on his neck from it. His wrists are cut up too. It seems he was restrained in some way." She said.

Solomon gasped at hearing this. "Is there any p-permanent damage?"

She shook her head. "No. He will have scars on his arms from the carved words but no other permanent damages."

Solomon sighed in relief. "Thank you." He said before they went to see Yugi.

Yugi lay in the bed and stared at his wrists. They were bandaged for being cut and raw. His arm was bandaged as well. "Grandpa is going to be so upset with me." He muttered. He heard the door open and he watched Solomon Atem and his two friends walk in.

"Yugi." Solomon said before going to his grandson. He noticed the boy's wrists and arms then his neck. "Oh Yugi. How could this happen?"

Yugi looked back down. "I went to him for this."

Everyone stared at him in shock and silence.
