When had awakened, he felt himself being roughly picked up and carried off towards another peculiar place. He was thrown into an anti-spacious trunk of a car as it drove off, leaving Yugi trapped in the previous moment as he was unable to comprehend what was happening. The boy was confused, panicked by most of all, terrified.
By the time the car had come to a halt, Yugi was frightened out of his mind, "ha!" One of them laughed, "look how small he is; he looks just like a midget!" The voice continued, the tone turning sterner as each words flew out of his cruel mouth.
"Don't think he can't be dangerous," he heard a different one mention.
"Shut it, Max - his arms and legs are like twigs; so easy to snap!" He heard the previous voice retort, "we'll most likely have to break his spirit first. The disgusting rat probably had a lot of fire-power stored within his puny body - though I highly doubt that!"
Yugi had guessed that the other kidnapper was named Max, so he squeaked a little, high-pitched squeal since he couldn't see nor talk, "what is it, kid?" Max boomed, irritated as he ripped the rope from the short boy's mouth.
"I wanted to see what's going on," he whispered quietly as he mumbled the next part, "I'm really hungry..."
Yugi continued to squirm along the hard surface he had been thrown on, harshly.
The taller boy only sighed, rolled his eyes and placed the rope back onto the spiky-haired boy's mouth. The bully made sure to tie it up tightly so that Yugi was unable to squeak, let alone talk. He then ripped off the boy's blindfold and the aforementioned boy regretted the sight he saw. He saw the leader of whom he had seen when Yami ignored and attacked him previously. Oh boy did he hate it.
He also noticed the sinister smirk that Max had upon his toned, rough-skinned face. The evil grin sent shivers down Yugi's spine and it continued to do so every second he looked at the superior bully. Max had seen the intimidated look upon the boy's face as he looked at him and commented, "you look a bit scared, kid, do you want to have the blindfold on again? Don't want you wettin' your pants here..."
The only response the brutal bully got from the beaten boy was a barely comprehended nod. Examining his actions carefully, Yugi watched in fear as the precedent bully flexed the blank blindfold before putting it on, tightening it only to make it extremely uncomfortable for the Muto boy.
Afterwards, he dragged Yugi up off the grimy floor and ruthlessly dragged him to an alley where they have a small chance of them being found. In addition, it's also where the bullies' base was, believe it or not.
As the two bullies ventured on into the base, Yugi squirmed, kicked and attempted to squeal which only resulted in him tiring himself out as he eventually gave up trying to save himself. The picture of the bully still lingered inside of his mind, haunting him as small tears pools inside of his eyes behind the blindfold; suppressing them as much as he could in an attempt to prevent his weak emotions from getting out of control.
As soon as they reached the filthy hideout, they carelessly chucked him in the corner of the room where it looked as if a rats' nest had been built. The stench of the whole place was vile - it was ultimately disgraceful. They took the blindfold off of Yugi once more, allowing him to register where he was as well as search the room for any unwanted presences.
They were everywhere.
Yugi's eyes were filled with tears, begging to fall to relieve themselves from the emotional paroxysm awaiting to be unleashed.
"Don't move!" Max hissed in annoyance as his face twisted with irritation as he saw Yugi's weakened state, making him feel sick on the inside. He hated seeing people be weak; it made him want to punch their faces continuously until they had been reformed!
Yugi refused to listen to him as all of his focus was on the restraining ropes which bound his limbs, restricting his movements. The leader walked over to him and within an instant, the impotent boy froze with fear, "not so tough now are we?" The leader asked as a sinister smile was plastered upon his face as he ran a knife down Yugi's aching arm slowly, yet softly which didn't hurt Yugi, yet it left crimson blood on the knife which shone in the dim light.
Yugi had an intimidated expression on his face with fright-filled eyes as he squirmed around more, eyeing the painless cut on his arm as the crimson liquid dribbled along it, tickling his skin as it slowly ran down, dripping onto the floor. Instantly, he stopped when he saw the blood-thirsty, vicious and calamitous look in the other boy's eyes as fire danced inside of them.
Rapidly, the bully ran a knife down Yugi's cheek, scraping his face with the sharpened blade leaving a cut and almost instantly blood started to trickle down his cheeks as well as his arm; the blood forming a minuscule pool beside him. Just then, Yugi continued to squirm - destined to break free of the binds.
"Stop moving right now!"
Once again, the overpowering boy was ignored as Yugi was determined to break free. The leader's eyes were filled with raging flames from the very pits of Hell. He then kicked Yugi with his feet so hard that he heard a loud crack from his ribs, paralysing the spiky-haired child for a few seconds before he was turned onto his back, grabbing his frail arms and leaving many large cuts before he threw it as if it were a stick for a dog to fetch. "Now, will you stop moving?!" He screamed to the irritating child.
He wouldn't listen whatsoever to the destructive male no matter what he said or did to hurt him, even if it was to take his life - he refused to stop moving; he refused to give up.
After a series of beatings, Max had enough, "that's it!" He boomed, his voice bouncing off of the surrounding walls which seemed as if they were closing in on them, "I'm going to torture and murder your friends if you do not co-operate with me!"
And that's when more of the enemies burst through the doors with two of the aforementioned boy's friends. Mokuba and Ryou...
The leader then picked up a razor-sharp blade, thrusting it into the air as he held it there causing it to glimmer in the dimly-lit room. He slowly dragged it down Ryou and Mokuba's arms, forcing the sparkling, crimson blood to spill out and land upon the unwashed, dirt-covered floor as it pools and ran all over; mixing with the grime. Their colossal brown eyes were wide with fear, the man cackling malevolently which led to Mokuba, Yugi and Ryou to whimper which led to tears of terror as they slipped out of their eyes, forcing their way out.
Just then, the wooden door behind them smash open! Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corporation burst through the door as if he was a raging flame, even though that's what his eyes held - raging flames as they brawled inside, fighting an everlasting battle. It looked as if he were being possessed by the merciless devil.
"What the hell are you doing to my brother and friends?!" Seto screeched with venom. His voice sounding like a million booms of thunder and a million strikes of lightning!
"Step away from the prisoners," nine policemen all said in unison as they raised their guns as a warning to the captors. The leader obliged and told everyone to put their weapons down and step away from the three prisoners.
The malicious teenagers who nearly killed Ryou, Yugi and Mokuba were escorted into police cars and carried off to prison, handcuffs tightly wrapped around their arms, binding them together to prevent any escape or attack.
The other teenagers walked home as the three younger boys stumbled from exhaustion and pain, "hey, Yugi," Ryou said, "can we go ahead of you? The three of us left something very important at your house!"
Yugi looked at Seto, Mokuba and Ryou with a puzzled expression whilst he tried to comprehend what it was before he finally said, "sure."
"Thanks!" Ryou said as the other three ran off to Yugi's house in a flash.
When Yugi walked in about half an hour later, the game shop was sinisterly dark when all of a sudden the lights flashed on with a loud roar of, "surprise, happy birthday!"
He then jumped back as a reaction, landing on his rear before picking himself up off the dirty ground as his face flashed red with embarrassment. He then flashed an excited beam as he realised his friends had remembered something he had forgotten; his birthday!
He giggles adorably before Yami walked in and asked what had happened because he had noticed the cuts and bruises along his sensitive skin, and with hesitation, Yugi explained everything. From the moment he was kidnapped to the moment that had just happened.
"You guys must've been frighten'd!" Joey mentioned which resulted in Yugi nodding slowly.
Silence reigned over them before Tristan burst out with, "well, what're we waiting for? Let's celebrate!"
Hours later, when everyone had left to return home, Yami and Yugi retired to bed as they were completely exhausted. The smaller boy was in a deep sleep trance so he didn't notice/hear Yami come in to check on him. He smiled and laughed softly before planting a sweet kiss on Yugi's bruised forehead like a father would and close the door silently. Yugi slept like an angel; gracefully and silently.
