The next day the Pharaoh got up early.
"Good morning." He said as he sat down for breakfast. Only Mahado was there.
All of a sudden there was a cry heard from upstairs. The two got up.
"Stay here my Pharaoh, I will go check this out." Mahado left and there was another cry heard.
'It sounds like Yugi!' Atem thought. Suddenly he too left after Mahado.
When he came to the hall way what he saw was not good. Mahado and two other guards were fighting four men. One of the men had Yugi in his arms. Yugi was struggling to get away.
"Let him go!" Atem yelled. A couple of the men stopped fighting and looked at Atem. Atem recognised one of them as the man that he saw yesterday. He remembered his name was Ottah.
"I said, let him go now!" No one moved.
All of a sudden the millennium puzzle around Atem's neck glowed. Suddenly there was a monster in front of the men.
They screamed.
"Let's go!" The four of them dropped Yugi and ran, but they couldn't get away. The guards caught them and took them to jail.
Atem ran to Yugi's side.
"Yugi! Are you alright?"
"My ankle... it hurts." Yugi winced.
"Mahado, get the doctor." Mahado ran to get the doctor.
Atem helped Yugi up and took him inside his room. He helped him get on his bed. Yugi leaned back against the headboard and Atem sat on the edge of the bed.
"It will be ok, Yugi." Yugi didn't say anything. There was silence.
"I saw one of them yesterday. He and a friend were there to take you away. They said that you belonged to them because your father owed them money." Atem started. Yugi looked at the blanket he was sitting on.
'Oh great. I bet he'll just send me off now. He won't want someone who is being chased in his palace.' Yugi thought.
The doctor came in with Mahado. The doctor wore a white robe and looked quite old.
"Hello. My name is Gahiji. What seems to be the problem?"
"I think he has hurt his ankle." Atem said, getting up off the bed to let the doctor take a look at Yugi's ankle.
Gahiji examined the ankle.
"Yes. You seem to have sprained it. I suggest keeping it elevated and not to walk on it for a few days. Some ice blocks can be good too."
"Thank you doctor." Atem said. The doctor bowed and left, leaving Atem, Mahado and Yugi.
"I shall get some ice for your ankle." Mahado left after the doctor.
"I'm sorry Yugi." Yugi was so surprised to hear the Pharaoh say sorry. It was he that should be sorry!
"You have nothing to be sorry for, My Pharaoh."
"No, I do. If I hadn't brought you here you would still be safe." Yugi thought he saw tears form in the Pharaoh's eyes.
"NO! Pharaoh, because you have brought me here I am safe from the men who are after me and if I wasn't here I would have nowhere else to go! You are the one who saved me from that horrible place! This is definitely not your fault. Thank you."
Atem looked at Yugi. Mahado came back into the room.
"Here is some ice." He gave it to Yugi who put it on his ankle.
"Thank you."
Atem spent most of the day with Yugi in his room. He brought up ice and they had lunch together.

Unfortunately this was not the last time they would see the men who were after Yugi. The next day Amon had the nerve to come to see the Pharaoh.
Atem sat in his throne as Amon stood before him. His court was also around him.
"What business do you have here, Amon?" Atem asked.
"The young boy, my highness. He is mine and I wish to obtain him."
"You will do no such thing!" Atem yelled at him.
"We should have you locked up, Amon. You disobeyed the Pharaoh and sent your men to kidnap Yugi." Seto said. Everyone had heard of yesterday's events.
"Please! My Pharaoh, I mean no harm. I just want the boy. Or the money."
"You will get nothing." Mahado said.
"Pharaoh!" Amon started to get angry now.
"Leave now and never come back again!" Atem said quietly in a very stern voice.
"My Pharaoh, you don't understand!"
"Guards! Arrest this man for disobeying the King!" Seto yelled.
Two guards came up and grabbed on to Amon's arms.
"Noo!! Pharaoh! I will get you for this!! And the boy!!" Amon screamed as the guards dragged him away.
Once he was out of the room, Atem got up.
"Pharaoh. He won't be coming back again." Isis said.
"Thank you." Atem left, not looking back at anyone.
He made his way up to Yugi's room. He knocked and entered. Yugi was sitting on his bed, reading a book.
"Pharaoh." He greeted.
"Yugi. How are you feeling?"
"Much better." Atem smiled.
"That's good." Atem came and sat on the side of Yugi's bed.
"Are you enjoying that book?" Yesterday Atem had received a book from his personal library and given it to Yugi to read. It was one of his favourite books.
"Yes! Very much. Thank you."
There was silence in the room again.
"They won't be coming back, Yugi. The leader of the pack is now in jail." Yugi looked at the pharaoh and Atem looked at Yugi.
"Thank you." Was all that Yugi could say.
