Yeah... I think you've figured it out, but let's recap because I'm in the mood:

RECAP! After Teá saw Yugi and Yami sharing their first kiss in front of the game shop she got tracked by some thugs who made a deal with her; if she followed Yugi and called them when he was alone they'd kidnap him and leave Yami all to her.

At the festival Teá saw a chance but, shock horror, Yami's been kidnapped instead of Yugi!

Who are these men? What do they want with Yugi? And why pick Teá of all people to partner up with?

I don't own the characters! Not even the names for the OC one's.

Enjoy... or not... Alright; Bear it!


The tan teen looked at the puzzle he had been given. It's worth so much to him, and he gives it to me. I'll look after it Hikari-mine. I promise.

"Lights out, Moto" a voice rasped behind him then everything went black.


Yami groaned as he woke up. His head hurting like he had been kicked by a horse, his sight was blurry and he was staring at a ceiling, a warehouse ceiling, with a light hanging from a chain.

Yami groaned again, his head throbbing. Then he noticed that he was tied up. He became alert at once. His was in a chair that had arms and a stiff wooden back. His arms were tied to the armrests, firmly, only his elbows and wrists showing, his torso had a few ropes around it, tying him to the back of the chair, then his legs were tied to the chair legs.

He looked around and saw that he was in a warehouse, surrounded by large and tall boxes so it looked like he was in a smaller room when the warehouse could have been any size.

Yami heard voices.

"You fools! That's the wrong boy! I want Charlie's son!"

Another voice stuttered back "S-s-sor-ry boss"

Another one sounded "But in our defence, they look a lot alike, and the punk had the puzzle"

"He has the puzzle you say?"

"Yep right here" Yami heard the chain clinking.

"Have you searched it?"

The first voice sighed "Yes boss. But all the scans came up gibberish, its pure Egyptian, too old and advanced for Charlie. Then inside it there's nothing, so we think that the boy has them. Charlie gave them to his kid, we're certain"

Yami stiffened. There were some footsteps and then suddenly the three talkers were back with him. "Oh, you're awake" the 'boss' said.

He had green-blue hair like an ocean, his skin was clammy and pale, he was well dressed so Yami assumed he was rich, the thing that disturbed him was his eyes. They were mismatched; one was an eerie, almost glowing green and the other was a hawk eye yellow.

The thugs at each shoulder were just as creepy as he was. They were bigger and broader than Yami and seemed to lack the stereotypical stupidness that should have come with their muscles.

One had vivid glowing green eyes, most likely contact lenses thought Yami as he had heard of those colourful creations from the big cities like New York, he had long black hair, almost like a mane, and pale clammy skin as well, he had casual clothing but it was mostly gothic colours.

The other was a blond, his hair was like tusks at his jaw, his eyes a clear blue and his muscles about to burst out of his skin, yet he looked less than a gorilla and more like a plotting boar with more than brute strength under his belt.

The boss walked forwards and looked Yami up and down "Sorry about your head. These idiots can't recognise the right target for anything… you two do look alike though" he said thoughtfully. "Charlie only had one son right?"

"Yes sir"

Yami remained silent. He warily kept half his attention on the thugs behind the man. The boss smirked "Don't mind them, they only hurt when I tell them to. I'm Dartz. What's your name?"

Yami glared "What do you want with me?"

Dartz chuckled "Nothing, as I said before, you're just an unfortunate youth who happens to look a lot like our real target. As soon as we get him, you can leave"

Yami's brain kicked into gear suddenly and his eyes looked for the puzzle "Where's the puzzle?" he growled, Yugi gave that to him!

The blond nudged the green eyed man "Give it to him, Dylan, it's clearly valuable to him"

The green eyed man, now known as Dylan, smirked "I'd be happy to, for his name"

Yami growled "People call me Yami" he said shortly. Dylan shrugged and put the puzzle in Yami's left hand. Yami smiled slightly at it, as far as he could see, it was undamaged. "What do you want with Yugi?"

Dartz jumped "You know the kid?"

Yami glared "What do you want with him?"

Dartz scowled at the fact he was being questioned. He smirked "Maybe we should keep you around a little longer… the kid has something we want. And we're going to get it" he raised a hand, there was a gun in it. "One way or another" Yami struggled slightly. "Don't bother" Dartz said dryly "Raphael never lets a hostage escape" he loaded his gun and admired it. "What's your relationship with Yugi?"

Yami didn't answer. Who the hell are these men? Why do they want Yugi? I don't trust them.

Dartz looked at Yami "I asked a question, Yami. How do you know the kid?"

"Kid? Do you even know how old he is?" Yami snapped back.

Thump!

Yami winced as his face bruised. Dylan had punched him when Dartz raised his eyebrow at him. And the guy could hit!

Yami was half sure his jaw was dislocated. He moved it gingerly and winced again. Ouch…

Dartz moved in front of his vision again "Let's try that again. How do you know Yugi Moto?"

"Drop dead" Yami shot back.

Thump!

To the stomach. Yami coughed dryly, glad he hadn't eaten in a while. Damn…

Dartz appeared again "This doesn't have to continue. How do you know Yugi?"

Yami closed his eyes, and his mouth. I'm not going to talk to you! He swore in his mind. Dartz tisked in an annoyed way. "Stubborn boy. Thirty seconds boys, but make sure he's still conscious, and questionable" he added as they approached.

Dylan growled happily "This is why I love this job" and his fist met Yami's shoulder.

Yami grunted but didn't respond. Raphael shoved the chair forwards and Yami landed painfully on his face and already injured shoulder. "You love it anyway, Dylan" the blond reminded him.

Yami winced as someone stood on his hand "Yeah… but this part especially" Yami was yanked up by his hair and that tore a cry from his throat.

Dartz raised a hand the two thugs instantly dropped whatever they were about to hurt and picked him, chair and all, and threw it upright. Yami grunted at the impact and gritted his teeth, he hadn't been hurt much, he guessed it would scale upwards every time he didn't answer.

Dartz stopped in front of him. Yami gripped the puzzle chain and kept silent. "Tell me how you know Yugi Moto" Dartz commanded. Yami looked into the mismatched eyes and spat at him.

"Drop dead" he told him again.

Dartz glared and clicked his fingers, the thugs approached and their fists pulled back for a punch to Yami's stomach when-

"Stop!"

Everyone froze.

Yami's eyes widened. That voice… it sounded like an angel… Oh no!

He looked over the thugs shoulders and saw Yugi, wet through and panting, leaning on the boxes slightly. His eyes were wide and his faced pained. Yami gasped "Yugi… Yugi! Get away!"

Smack!

Dylan backhanded him "Shut it you" he growled.

Dartz strode over to Yugi and looked him up and down "How did you find us, kid?"

Yugi held up Anzu's mobile phone, he had forgotten to give it back and was now glad he had. "Locate a friend App" he said shakily. "I'm the one you want, let Yami go" Yugi begged.

Yami felt like crying. His brave little Yugi, begging for his love's life, it broke his heart. "Yugi…"

Dartz snatched the phone from his fingers. "I see, clever teenagers these days. Raphael, get the boy's phone out here"

Raphael pulled Yami's phone out of his pocket. "Catch"

Dartz didn't bother, he pulled out his gun and fired at it. The phone smashed, Yugi flinching at the loud noise, then Dartz did the same with Anzu's. "Now no more teens can come and annoy us… come over here, Yugi. We've got things to talk about"

Yugi walked forwards hesitantly, his large eyes on the gun that was still loaded.

Yami struggled "No! Run! Don't worry about me!"

"Gag him" Dartz ordered dryly. Yugi froze and watched, hurting inside, as the two thugs did just that to his Yami.

Yami had a red scarf tied around his mouth, stopping him from speaking, but he begged with his eyes for Yugi to leave.

Darts indicated for Yugi to sit on the other chair. Yugi glanced at Yami and did as he was told, fearing for the safety of the other. Dartz smirked "Don't worry, we haven't any argument with your friend, as I assume him to be" Yugi nodded timidly. Dartz smirked again "We knew your Father. Great man, lots of promise… but he had a conscience. He took something from us. We could end up behind bars, lots of us could, actually. Men of my league, I mean" Yami listened, not liking where this was going. "Your Father gave something to you. Give it to us"

Yugi looked at Yami. His eyes very scared but also protective, Yami was screaming with his own eyes for Yugi to just run. The amethyst eyes looked back at Dartz and he said softly, his voice quaking "I don't know what you're talking about…"

Dartz raised and eyebrow and then glance at Yami. He thought for a moment then said "There's not much point hurting two people. Boys leave that one in the corner, if we must we'll move onto him as well…"

Yami struggled against his bonds as he was dragged back into a corner of the space. Yugi looked after him, scared out of his wits now.

Dartz clicked his fingers "Get the shackles" Yugi was shaking now, but he still wasn't running like Yami wished he was, Dylan grabbed Yugi's wrists and shackled them and then he threw a chain over a beam in the ceiling and attached them to Yugi's shackled arms too.

Raphael had the other end of the chain and he pulled so Yugi was dragged into the middle of the space, his arms over his head and helpless, he struggled and tugged and whimpered in fear. Yugi was slightly suspended off the floor as Raphael tied his end off and then stood by Dylan while Dartz thought.

Dartz looked at Yugi and smirked "Don't know what we're on about… let me refresh your memory" he pulled a box lid off and a flat screen was in there. Yugi looked at it unsure of what was happening. Dylan and Raphael stood by Yugi, holding his head so that he had to look.

Dartz sat at a computer, whatever was on the screen of his laptop was also on the flat screen. "You are the only son of Charlie Moto" he showed an image of Yugi's Dad, a passport image. "He worked as a security guard, as well as with us"

Yugi blinked, this was new to him, he thought his Dad only had one job. "My organisation has many flaws but we make more money than even Kaiba Corp, we blackmail people into staying out of our way, turning a blind eye. Your Father found out about our tricks, our illegal ways, he wasn't very pleased with it, but he shut up the second we threatened his lovely wife" Yugi's Mother appeared next to his Father's picture.

Yugi gasped. Dartz smirked "But he gathered information in secret. Put it into documents and memory sticks. We found this out and fired him. But we warned him that if he told anyone… we'd get you and his lovely wife" Yugi's photo appeared by his parents.

Yugi gasped again, his Dad's odd behaviour making sense now! He was looking out for us!

Dartz pulled up a clipping of the fire that Charlie had died in. "It wasn't long before we realised that a good man like your Father would squeal to the police sooner or later… so I sent some friends of mine to this block of flats, these two actually"

The next image was the bomb that set off the entire fire. "Their work is admirable, isn't it?"

Yugi froze "N-no… tha-that fire was…" he whispered his chest panting slightly, glancing at the two beside him.

Dartz smirked "That's right. We started that fire"

Yugi froze. Yami couldn't blame him, standing before him were the men who killed his Father, nearly killed him! Yugi…

Dartz smirked even more. "We watched the building go up in flames, it was a very pretty sight… imagine our surprise when we get a call from your Dad, while he was in the fire. Then not five minuets later, he throws his own screaming son out of the window to save him" Dartz chuckled sadistically. Yugi was panting in fear now, the cruel truth quickening his heart.

Dartz pulled up an image of the crash. Yugi cried out "No! Not Mum too!"

Dartz smirked "You finally caught on. We thought that we'd better get rid of the entire family… you survived again"

Yugi shook his head, tears falling from his eyes "Y-you! You drove us off the road! You Murderers!" he cried brokenly.

Dartz smiled, the two thugs laughed, the image changed to an audio "Later we realised that even though most of the family was gone… the documents survived somehow. Charlie's message made sense after I listened back at it. Hear your Father's last words to us, Yugi"

He clicked play.

"Dartz! I know you want me dead! And so be it if I must die here, but you will not get your hands on the evidence to your crimes, I promise. The holder to the Puzzle has the Documents, and you'll never see them again-"

"Dad! Dad! We have to get out-" Yugi's voice was heard at the very end, but the phone cut off.

Dartz stood up and smirked "Holder of the puzzle. You inherited the puzzle after Charlie died. The answer to this riddle; you. Where are those documents? Hand them to us, we'll let you both go"

Yugi was staring at the floor, shock, hate, anger, loss all on his face, he panted in pain, tears falling from his eyes. Yami felt his anger boil too. These men had murdered Yugi's parents in cold blood! Don't tell them Yugi! Don't let them have what they want!

Yugi jerked when Dylan and Raphael grabbed his arms. "I-I've never seen those documents! I don't have them!" Yugi yelped.

Dartz glared and sighed "Very well" he clicked his fingers and leaned back to enjoy the show.

Yami could only watch helplessly as Yugi was punched and kicked over and over. Yami struggled, trying to get to Yugi, to save him, to help him. But he could only watch, trapped as his angel was tortured.

Dartz clicked his fingers again and the thugs stopped with regretful sighs. Yami growled at them. Dartz stood before Yugi's beaten form "Where are the documents?" he asked calmly.

Yugi coughed and spat out a bit of blood "I… I don't know… I've never heard of them…"

Dartz snapped his fingers and the thugs were back, Dylan had a belt in his hands. He winked at Yami in the corner "A little encouragement never hurts" and then the belt hissed through the air and smacked painfully on Yugi's bare back, Raphael holding the shirt up so that Yugi's skin could be reached. Yugi cried out in pain but couldn't do anything. Dylan was merciless and soon Yugi began to bleed.

Yami shouted from his place in the room. He hated watching Yugi in pain but couldn't do anything to help him, he was helpless to save his beaten angel…

Dartz snapped his fingers for him to stop. "Where are the documents?" he asked the sobbing Yugi.

Yugi shook his head "I don't know…"

Dartz slapped him. "Stubborn brat. Get the tub" he ordered the thugs. They came back with a box full of water. Dartz nodded at them, it was placed before Yugi, Dylan loosened the chains so that Yugi was kneeling before the box.

Raphael caught the chains and pulled Yugi's arms behind his back his other hand pulling Yugi's head back with a hand in his hair. Yugi's eyes were wide. Dartz stood before him and glared "Where are the documents?"

Yugi was shaking in panic now. "I don't know! Please! I don't know!"

Dartz clicked his fingers in disgust and Raphael shoved Yugi's face in the water. And held him there. Yami struggled so hard his skin broke. Yugi thrashed, struggling for air. But Raphael kept him under.

Dartz raised his chin slightly and Raphael pulled Yugi up for air. Yugi gasped and panted and coughed horridly. His lungs gulping the air he needed. Dartz asked him again "Where are the documents? You who held the puzzle before giving it away to this boy only a few hours ago, you have the documents. Where are they?"

Yugi coughed a bit more "Please-"

He was shoved under before he could fully answer. Yami shouted through his gag. Yugi! Hold on! You bastards! Leave him alone!

Raphael pulled Yugi up and Yugi vomited water and then laid shivering and retching softly and emptily while the tub was taken away. He was soaked through with his struggling and the rain outside from arriving here.

Yami could have cried, his little one so beat up and hurt. Damn you! Leave him alone!

Dartz smirked at him. "Your friend is stubborn. He won't talk, as soon as he talks the torture will stop" he knelt before Yugi and turned his face up to look him in the eye "Where are they?"

Yugi gasped and then whispered, so quietly that Yami nearly missed it "I don't have them…" Dartz slapped him again and stood up. Yugi was crying now "Please! Believe me! I don't have them!"

Dartz rose an eyebrow "Your own Father condemned you as the holder of the documents. How can you not be?"

Yugi shook his head "Please… please… It's not me… I don't have them…"

Dartz snapped his fingers "The shocker" he ordered.

Dylan came forwards with an electrocuting torture weapon, it wouldn't kill, but Yugi was going to be in a lot of pain soon. Yami realised this and shouted past the gag "Stay away from him!"

Yugi looked at him, his eyes red with tears and pitiful with the amount of pain and fear on that innocent face "Y-Yami…" he coughed out, reaching for him slightly.

Yami stared back. Just tell them! Please! I can't bear to see you hurt anymore!

Yugi knew what he was trying to say and bit his lip, his eyes sad and regretful, helpless… Yami froze. He really doesn't have them… their torturing the wrong person! Oh Ra they'll kill him! Yami's breathing sped up.

Dylan snickered "Oh, boss you are cruel, he's soaked through… it'll hurt even more" he drawled and then connected it to Yugi's ribs.

Yugi arched and screamed, loudly, his head back, his body spasming and convulsing sickeningly. The shock ended and Yugi breathed and sobbed for about two seconds before another shock followed. Yami felt his eyes tear up. Yugi… his heart hurt.

Dartz pulled Yugi up by his hair making him whimper, not many screams left. "This can stop if you tell me where they are"

Yugi whimpered again "Dad never gave me them…" Dartz threw him on the floor. Raphael and Dylan beat him up with punches and kicks until Yugi was barely conscious.

Dartz stopped them at last. "Where are the documents?"

Yugi couldn't answer. He was too weak, too hurt, his body was broken now, his spirit only holding on because Yami was his strength. Yugi's eyes hazily connected with Dartz's and the answer was the same. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have them.

Dartz sighed and then looked at Yami. He smirked "You may be willing to suffer. But will you let your friend hurt too?"

Yugi twitched. "No… leave him" he whispered out hoarsely.

Dartz smirked and pulled Yugi up, the chains coming off him and Dylan forcing him to look. As Raphael pulled out a knife and approached Yami. Yugi struggled. Yami braced himself and looked in Yugi's eyes.

The eyes were scared and wide, sending him care and love and a wish that he could end this. Yami smiled back at him. I'll suffer with you, hikari-mine.

"Please! Leave him! He's not involved! Yami doesn't know anything! Please, please don't hurt him!" Yugi cried, tears rolling down his cheeks. Then suddenly, those eyes cleared, the fear vanished and he drew in a gasp.

Yami looked at him and Yugi looked back. The look said one thing to Yami. I know where it is. I know.

"Stop it!" Yugi screamed suddenly. Dartz raised a hand to make Raphael pause. Yugi winced as Dylan jerked him, making him talk. Yugi licked his lips and croaked out "I don't have them, but I know who does… and you've killed her"


Don't kill me for hurting Yugi, I was in a sadistic mood...
