Abandoned Tears Ch. 4:

Yami stormed through the streets if Domino City. He couldn't believe it, couldn't believe what he had let happen to his poor little Yugi! Yes, he had found out what Mr. Mutou had done by some "friendly persuasion".

The old man was now recovering from a trip to the Shadow Realm. Yami would have banished the old man altogether, but he had been so furious and so desperate to find Yugi that he had not banished him right. Oh well, he could finish the job when he got Yugi back and dealt with his so-called-friends and that cold-hearted bastard that was making Yugi's life hell. Yami continued to walk furiously down the street, ignoring the couple ten or fifteen people he had accidentally sent to the shadow realm. He made a mental note to himself to learn to control is shadow powers for fear of accidentally sending Yugi to the shadow realm when he got him back…and tore Kaiba limb from limb! Screw the shadow realm! Wandering aimlessly, as he had no idea where he was going, the dark's face bore a strained smirk of rage as he thought of how he was going to take care of this…

"Let's just say I'll have my fair share of blood tonight…I just hope I'm going in the right direction…"

Yugi sat up strait in bed. Or should he say floor covered by a thin, ratty blanket and a small, under-stuffed pillow. He rubbed his large, purple eyes with sleep, thinking. He had just had the strangest feeling of power in the air…it seemed so familiar…The small boy's eyes shot open as he realized why it had seemed so familiar. It was the power of Yami.

"No, it couldn't be…" Yugi mumbled to him self as he clumsily got up and checked the alarm clock that had once been Mokuba's before he had gotten a new one. It now read 1:03 AM. There was no way Yami would be up this early! (Yugi usually had to drag him out of the puzzle at noon until Yami got a body of his own. Then he'd had to squirt him with a water bottle until he got up. Yami was more of a night owl.) Yugi then perked up a bit. If it was that early, then maybe Kaiba wasn't up!

Yugi cautiously got out of "bed" and climbed up the stairs leading to the Kaiba mansion, flinching slightly as one of them creaked beneath his weight. Hearing movement upstairs, he froze; terrified that Kaiba was awake and would open the door to find him there. When nothing happened, Yugi let out his breath, which he had been holding, and finished climbing the rest of the stairs and out the basement door.

Pausing in the hallway between the main staircase and the kitchen, Yugi made his way silently into the kitchen, mouth watering at the thought of real food. The only food he ever got nowadays was whatever was left of Kaiba and Mokuba's meal, or if the chef was in a good mood and let him have some scraps. But lately, Kaiba had been cleaning up every scrap of food left out and throwing them away, covering them with bleach in the garbage to ensure Yugi didn't have anything to eat.

The tri-colored haired kid was so nervous and so hungry that he was sure Kaiba would hear his stomach growling and his knees trembling. Once he had reached the fridge and cupboard area, Yugi wasted no time in attempting to open the cupboards he could reach and were unlocked. Finding none, his gaze turned to the trashcan. Normally he wouldn't be tempted by half-eaten garbage, but he was so hungry he was feeling nauseated so he scurried over to the can and peeked inside. Inside he could smell no bleach or whatever else Kaiba put on to keep Yugi out, so he reached in for a fairly good-looking piece of toast. Yugi was so keen on snagging the bite to eat that he misjudged his and the trash bin's height and the next thing he knew was the trash bin toppling on top of him and him being covered from head to foot in the smelly and sticky mess…

"YUGI!" Yugi's heart stopped as he heard the one voice he dreaded most of all. Trembling, he looked up into cold, ice blue eyes full of rage at seeing their prisoner covered in garbage from head to foot. Yugi flinched as Kaiba roughly grabbed his arm in an iron-like grip and jerked the terrified boy to his feet. "How dare you…" Kaiba snarled in said boy's ear; "I told you…. I warned you not to come up unless I called you, brat!" Kaiba tightened his grip with every word, while Yugi bit his lip so hard it bled in order to stop the whimper of pain climbing it's way up his throat.

" I-I'm s-sorry!" Yugi whimpered through tears, "I w-w-was j-just s-so h-hungry!" Kaiba's scowl turned into a smirk of rage at those words.

"You were hungry, huh?" Yugi whimpered in terror at the look on Kaiba's face, but knowing what would happed if he was quiet, he nodded, large purple eyes brimming with tears. "Well then…" Kaiba hissed softly, eyes glinting in promises of suffering, "I'll get you something to eat…" He then dragged poor little Yugi across the kitchen and, not letting go of Yugi's arm, began rummaging through the cabinet. Yugi was so happy of the idea of real food, that he didn't notice what cabinet Kaiba was going through until he turned around, and Yugi paled at the sight of what he held in his hands. A bottle of Bleach.

"N-no!" Yugi backed away in terror, realizing what Kaiba planned on doing to him. He began to pull furiously on his arm as Kaiba casually unhooked the bottle and turned to face the terrified boy.

"Ready or not…open up Yugi…" Using his thumb and forefinger, the Brunette was able to pry Yugi's small mouth open and, switching hands with the bottle so he could hold it and Yugi still at the same time, began pouring the bottle down the boy's throat.

Yugi choked and sputtered as the burning, bitter taste of the bleach was forced down his throat. Kicking and coughing, Yugi managed to kick Kaiba hard (or as hard as his tiny legs would allow) in the shins.

"Ow!" Kaiba yelped, letting go of Yugi to nurse his wounded leg. Yugi had gone about tree steps, spitting out the bleach, before Kaiba's large hand grabbed his shoulder and threw him to he ground. The tall brunette then sat on Yugi's small waist, using his size to his advantage to ensure Yugi wouldn't get away. The boy beneath him squirmed furiously under Kaiba's weight and tried to fight back tears of fear as his captor unscrewed the bottle of bleach again.

"K-Kaiba! N-no! please!" Kaiba ignored the child's pleas and begs to free him and instead forced Yugi's mouth open again and forced the dreaded liquid in Yugi's mouth again, using the strength in his hand to prevent Yugi from moving his head.

Yugi coughed and choked on the bleach as Kaiba took the bottle away and quickly clamped his hand over Yugi's mouth to prevent him from spitting it out.

"Swallow." Kaiba ordered in a soft, deadly voice. Yugi shook his head. Kaiba then used his other hand to pinch Yugi's nose closed, obscuring any passage for oxygen to Yugi's lungs. "It's either swallow or suffocate." Kaiba told Yugi, smirking as Yugi's face began to turn blue through lack of air. Whimpering, Yugi swallowed. Kaiba chuckled darkly.

"Good boy…"
