Warning: Blood, Violence

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

"I can't believe that we have to watch over a stupid little kid like this…"

"He's not even awake yet, and it's been two days already!"

Yugi slowly awakened to the voices around him. Opening his eyes, Yugi wearily looked around the room that he was in. Unfortunately, Yugi found that he was in one of the dungeon's cells. Yugi found one shackle around his ankle that led to the wall when he looked down. Why on earth was he in here? Who were these two people? Where was Yami?

Yugi thought of these questions, until one of the men in front of his cell realized that he was awake.

"Heh, so the little runt finally woke up, did he?" the man on the left chuckled.

"What do you want from me?" Yugi asked as he tried to stand up but to no avail.

"You'll find out later tonight," the second man answered.

Yugi sighed. He at least wanted to know who was behind all of this. "Who is doing this?"

"Like I said. You'll find out tonight," the man retorted. "Now shut up, or you will regret it."

Seeing that something bad could happen if he didn't keep his mouth shut, Yugi leaned back into the wall, and tried to think of some ways as to why he was here.

It felt like hours before the men named Marik and Ammon had taken his shackle off and dragged him outside his cell. This time, Yugi was deeply frightened as to what these two were capable of. He had learned that these two were not the people to mess with. Marik was an assassin form a foreign country, and Ammon used to be part of a group that went around Egypt committing crimes that Yugi never even knew existed.

As the two men hauled Yugi out of the dungeon, they made their way through some double doors; Yugi was met with two of the soldiers on the ground, completely motionless.

"Are they…?" Yugi began to question the state of the two soldiers.

"Dead? Why yes, they are. Now if you don't shut up, you'll end up just like them!" the one named Ammon sneered, roughly pushing Yugi ahead to their destination.

Once the trio came up to yet another set of double doors, they entered quickly, and then took a sharp right. Yugi noticed that this place seemed even worse than the dungeon he was previously in. This place was dark and damp and covered in mold. But what horrified Yugi the most was when he noticed blood streaked across the walls, and some skulls that were lying around.

"You can drop him here," came a familiar voice.

Yugi looked around to find the voice, but before he could go any further, he was roughly dropped to the ground and then he found himself being pulled forward by some sort of force.

Once Yugi stopped sliding forward, he could see a figure in front of him, but still couldn't see the person's face to make sure it was who he thought it was.

"What do you want from me?" Yugi demanded, gathering up all of the courage he could muster.

The figure moved closer and now Yugi could see that it was in fact a woman he was talking to. "I don't want anything from you. I just want you gone."

"What do you mean, 'gone'?" Yugi asked, becoming more and more frightened with each passing moment.

The woman snorted. "Are you stupid or something? I want you dead. Gone. Not existing anymore. Got it yet?" the woman sounded irritated now.

Yugi couldn't wait any longer. He needed to know. "What is your name?"

The woman smiled, seeing that Yugi had finally realized what she wanted. "…Teana."

Yugi didn't gasp out or anything. Now he was puzzled. Why would Teana want him dead? Did it have something to do with Yami saying that there was going to be no…

"Wedding!" Yugi blurted out, now starting to realize what Teana was planning.

Teana was dazed for a moment by why Yugi had just shouted 'wedding', but decided to go to the next phase of her plan. "You two," she motioned for Marik and Ammon to come forward. "Take these," she then threw a couple of knives and other weapons their way, "Do whatever you want with him. Just don't kill him…yet."

Yugi turned around to see that Ammon and Marik were looking devilishly at their newfound weapons. Yugi didn't want to think of what they could do with them.

Teana stepped around a stunned Yugi and simply waved her hand, motioning the two prisoners to come forward now. When Teana closed the doors behind her and took about five steps forward, only then did she hear a satisfying scream.

Yami paced around behind Seto.

"Are you sure you didn't see Yugi leave?" Yami asked again.

"I'm positive. If Yugi had left, he most likely would've taken his belongings with him. Plus, we would have been notified that his musical group had arrived," Seto said, trying to end the conversation.

Yami sat down beside his cousin. "But…then were would have he gone for two days?"

"Maybe he's lost in this oversized palace…" Seto mumbled to himself.

Yami put his hands in his head. "Where would he go…?" he whispered to himself.

Just then a servant came in, and bowed. "My prince, what colors do you wish the throne room be decorated in?"

"None. There is not to be a wedding. Off now," Yami spoke, now expecting Seto just pounce on his last statement.

The servant bowed again and then left the room. Then, as if on cue, Yami's prediction came true.

"What do you mean 'no wedding'? You won't be able to gain the crown if you don't marry. All of Egypt will be without a ruler! Egypt would be powerless!" Seto exclaimed.

Yami wasn't too sure if he should be worried about his cousin's complaints, or his cousin's strange outburst.

"Oh Seto, you know that I was my father's only heir. I would have to become Pharaoh sooner or later. I never even wanted a wedding in the first place. And what made that even worse was that Teana just had to be the one I married," Yami explained, watching as Seto's face soon formed into a scowl.

"Do you have any idea how long we planned this? And now you're telling me that there's going to be no wedding about a day before it actually would happen?" Seto asked.

"Yes, I know how long you all painfully planned my wedding day. It was just that Teana was always ruthless to everyone, besides all of the priests and myself. She was the most annoying thing that I had ever met. And the fact that she's a complete idiot!" Yami explained, hoping that this would convince Seto otherwise.

"When did you decide this?" Seto asked.

"About two days ago I informed Teana…wait! Did you see Teana leave the palace?" Yami asked, standing up in the process.

"No…why?" Seto asked getting bored again.

"I told her to leave the palace…she might be up to something. I need to see Mahado," Yami said, rushing out of the room.

As he ran from hallway to hallway, Yami finally came to Mahado's room.

"Mahado…? Mahado!"

Yami couldn't believe what he was seeing. In front of him, Mahado was lying on the floor unconscious and somewhat frozen. Walking over to his friend, Yami made sure that the spell caster was still breathing and luckily he was. Suddenly noticing the aura in the room, Yami then realized that Mahado was put under a spell of some sort.

Feeling the urge to see if the other priests were all right, Yami soon found that Akunadin, Isis, Karim, and Shada were all suffering the same spell that was put on Mahado.

'Shimon, Seto.' Yami reminded himself.

Yami rushed to the part of the palace that his elderly visor usually was and found him frozen and unconscious as well.

'What's going on?'

Going back to where he last saw Seto, Yami arrived just in time to see Seto moving freely as he last saw him. "Seto…all of the priests are…under some sort of spell…" the prince panted as he entered through the doorway.

"What do you mean Yami? Is this one of your tricks again?" Seto asked, unsure if he should believe Yami's statement.

Yami soon caught his breath and started over again. "Someone cast one of Mahado's spells. All of the priests, including Shimon are unconscious, except you and I, Seto."

"Hn. Whatever spell it is, it'll wear off in a couple hours," Seto stated, accepting his cousin's claim. "But who would want to do such a thing?"

Seto didn't realize it, but his highness had left the room for some odd reason. "Good luck."

Yugi cried out again as yet another knife dug into his skin, causing blood to ooze out and drip to the floor. It seemed like hours these two were doing this.

Ever since that bitch Teana had left, Marik and Ammon had immediately grabbed Yugi from the armpits, dragged him over to the nearest wall and with the help of some old shackles, trapped Yugi on the wall. From then on, it was hell for Yugi.

Yugi let some more tears fall freely down his face as he felt a knife enter somewhere on his back. Yugi once again heard Marik's maniacal laugh fill the room at his petty attempts to fight back when he obviously couldn't, and the fact that he was crying out ever so often now.

Feeling that he was going to pass out at any moment now from so much blood loss, Yugi felt something even sharper than any knife scrap at his arms, legs, back and chest. As another scream was ripped from Yugi's throat, Yugi's vision started to become slightly blurry, and his head was starting to swim.

Feeling that blood was coming out even faster now, no thanks to the new cuts that were formed, Yugi started to see that his vision was getting darker and darker. Yugi bit his lip to try to not cry out as Ammon put the new weapon to his face and sliced his cheek open, letting blood seep down, but Yugi couldn't hold in his scream.

Now Yugi knew that he was going to pass out at any moment, for he couldn't see a thing in front of himself, and that he felt his eyes drooping. Within seconds, Yugi had lost consciousness.

-----

Yami dashed down hall to his former fiancé's room. Once he arrived, he cursed under his breath, seeing that she did not do as he ordered her to do two days earlier. He had a feeling that she was doing something behind his back.

Seeing now that he had to find Yugi, and now Teana, Yami continued his search.

Yami didn't know why he had come to the area where the dungeons are, but he had a feeling that he needed to. He had been hearing some distant screams for some time now, but just a couple of minutes ago, the screams had stopped.

Shivering when he started to come closer to the dungeon's double doors, Yami stepped back when he saw the two dead bodies of some of his soldiers.

"What the hell is going on?" Yami wondered out loud.

Turning on his heel to look elsewhere, Yami made his way out of the dungeon area. Passing a nearby room, the prince didn't notice a figure come out behind him.

-----

The prisoner looked at his knife yet again, wondering when his highness would pass by. He didn't know how long how he had been waiting, but it seemed like hours when the annoying bitch had told him to stay here. He didn't really want to work for her, but with many pounds of gold on the line, it would all turn out fine in the end.

The prisoner put the knife away and took out the potion he was given. The girl had said that when he would give it to the prince, it would knock him out cold in about two seconds.

Smirking, the white haired prisoner carefully tucked the potion away when he heard rushed footsteps coming his way.

'Hello prince.'

Just as expected, the prince dashed by and then the prisoner sprung into action. Slipping out of the room quickly and quietly, the prisoner started to run towards the prince and finally catching up as he grabbed the back of the prince's shirt.

The prince turned around in surprise and his eyes went wide. "Bakura! What are you doing here! What are you-"

The prince was cut short for the prisoner known as Bakura had taken out the potion and shoved the liquid down the prince's throat. As expected, the prince had fallen unconscious.
