Chapter 5

"I'm fine…..ugh stop calling me….I know what I'm supposed to do." Yugi groaned and rubbed his eyes as he had been woken up in the middle of his nap since it was Sunday and he had nothing to do.

"But Yugi…." Yugi's Grandpa sighed as he was worried for Yugi's safety after hearing from Joey that Atem and Yami were interested in him even if that had been what he wanted from the beginning.

"What if they tap into my phone? I can't contact you until it's over." Yugi changed from his pajamas and set his phone down, putting it on speaker.

"Fine...but just be careful… and don't forget about pi-" Yugi's grandpa called out and Yugi rolled his eyes.

"Bye…" Yugi called out and hung up on his Granpa. Yugi grabbed his wallet and started to walk out of his room but stopped when he heard Ryou's voice.

"Yugi are you going out?" Ryou groaned and sat up from the bed since they shared a bed because Ryou only lived in a small apartment.

"Yeah…." Yugi smiled and looked back at Ryou. He actually hadn't been planning too but he knew that he needed some time to think of what he was going to do next anyways and he knew that Ryou would ask him to get things from the grocery store as well.

"Good…." Ryou grabbed a piece of paper and quickly jot down a list of groceries. He got up from the bed and walked over to Yugi.

"Get these for me….and whatever you need as well." Ryou handed Yugi the list and his wallet.

"Um….I have my own money…." Yugi raised an eyebrow and looked at Ryou.

"I know but you don't want others to be suspicious of you so use this wallet and say that I gave it to you. You can't forget that you're the cute and innocent boy that's my younger adopted brother." Ryou stretched his arms and yawned.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Yugi rolled his eyes and put the wallet into his pocket. He really hated being the younger 'brother' of Ryou since others always thought he couldn't do things by himself just because of that title even though he had a part time job and was one of the smartest students at the school.

"Now go before I think of more to put on that list." Ryou sighed and walked past Yugi to the kitchen.

"Got it." Yugi sighed and nodded, putting the list in his pocket. He grabbed his coat and slipped it on. He walked out of the house and didn't notice the two shadows behind him. His eyes widened though and he screamed at the top of his lungs when he felt two set of arms wrap around him. He struggled and tried to kick and punch whoever had the nerve to try to attack him but he still made sure not to hurt the attackers since he was supposed to be weak. The attackers pushed him into a nice car and while one sat next to him the other sat in the driver's seat. Yugi was surprised to see that his attackers were Yami and Atem, with Yami next to him and Atem in the driver's seat.

"Hello Yugi." Yami smirked and crisscrossed his legs.

"Wow that's quite a voice you've got there." Atem looked back at Yugi with a smirk on his lips as he thought of some not so innocent things which Yugi understood but he forced himself not to blush from his own thoughts.

"Atem and Yami? What are you doing here? I thought you lived in Millennium and Puzzle territory." Yugi looked at them innocently and tilted his head, confusingly.

"First off its Millennium Puzzle territory and we came to talk to you." Atem rolled his eyes and sighed.

"But those two gangs are mortal enemies." Yugi scratched his head and just stared at the two.

"I thought you knew nothing about gangs?" Yami raised an eyebrow and wrapped an arm around Yugi's shoulder.

"I don't know anything except for what my older brother, Ryou tells me." Yugi frowned and looked at his lap, cursing at himself for letting that slip.

"Hm...Ryou Bakura….he's your brother you say?" Atem sat properly in his seat and nodded.

"Yes? Why do you ask?" Yugi looked up at them and tilted his head.

"Atem lets go to our house….in Millennium Puzzle territory." Yami put his seatbelt on and rolled their eyes. They had hoped that Yugi would tell them the truth but they had expected too much.

"W-what?! N-no Ryou told me to stay in Duel Monster's territory unless I'm going to school or have something to do in neutral territory." Yugi's eyes widened and he gripped Yami's shirt tightly.

"Don't worry it's only for a short while so we can talk with no disturbances." Atem shrugged and started the car, his seatbelt already on.

"Can't we just go to neutral territory instead of we have to go somewhere? Also Ryou will get mad if I don't come back with the groceries and a mad Ryou is never a good thing." Yugi teared up and allowed Yami to put on his seatbelt.

"We'll get someone else to do it for you." Yami smiled and rubbed Yugi's cheek gently like he was fragile and could break any moment.

"B-but…" Yugi shook his head and tears fell down his face. He was truly terrified since if he was found out about being the heir when he was in their territory then it meant that he absolutely no protection except maybe Joey and Tristan but they weren't supposed to give themselves away ever and they'd be killed for being spies.
"JUST SHUT UP!" Atem glared back at Yugi and drove off.

"I'm sorry…." Yugi whispered and started to shake.

"What did I say?" Atem growled and looked forward at the street. Yugi was beyond terrified now as he truly understood his situation...he was a lone wolf going into a den of furiosus lions that were ready to kill him when he made one wrong move.

"You're such a bad boy, Yugi. Do we have to punish you now?" Yami smirked and grabbed Yugi's cheek, making him look at him. Yugi shook his head with tears falling down his face and shaking with fear.

"Good boy." Yami nodded and kissed his forehead, gently. He held Yugi close the whole ride and did his best to calm him down since, even though he knew Yugi's real name, he didn't know the true truth and thought he was still weak and innocent.

[Time Skip]

"Yugi come on out…" Yami got out of the car and held out his hand for Yugi who was shaking like a leaf. Yugi's shaking and crying had gotten worse as he got deeper into Millennium Puzzle territory and he felt ashamed since he's looked death in the eye more than he could count and he never felt the fear he felt then. He looked up at Yami and shook his head, gripping the seat. Atem stood next to Yami and glared down at Yugi and was about to scream at him but Yami held up a hand to stop him.

"Please….I don't want to force you out of there." Yami sighed and rubbed Yugi's cheek. Yugi wiped away his tears and slowly nodded his head. He got out of the car and looked at the ground.

"Good boy...now just follow us and don't look at the others." Yami patted Yugi's head and took his hand, leading him into him and Atem's mansion. Yugi had gotten a glance of it and he could tell that it was three times the size of his own house since his Grandpa prefered small houses so that it wasn't obvious where they lived so they weren't attacked unless there was a spy. Yugi followed Yami and Atem and was confused when they just suddenly stopped. He looked up to see Atem and tilted his head.

"Give…" Atem held out his hand and stared at Yugi.

"Huh?" Yugi tilted his head and glanced at Yami.

"The grocery list." Yami chuckled and shook his head.

"I-I can go myself…" Yugi frowned and looked at the ground.

"Just give me." Atem sighed and grabbed his chin, making Yugi look at him. Yugi blushed and nodded slowly, reaching into his pockets. He took the list out and handed it to Atem. Atem let go of Yugi and faced a group of members of the Millenium Puzzles that had been glaring at each other until they noticed that Atem and Yami were watching them.

"Joey and Bakura I want you two to go the store, pick up what's on this list, and drop them off at Ryou Bakura's house." Atem sighed and held out the list. He had picked those two as they had actually been cursing each other and out of every they were having the most problems as they had been worse enemies before the gangs became one.

"Where is that?" Bakura, originally a Puzzle member, put his hands in his pockets and rolled his eyes.

"I know where it is so you don't have to worry." Joey smiled a little and took the list.
"How do you know?" Yami raised an eyebrow and glared at Joey. Everyone else in the room also looked at him curiously as they hadn't known he'd been in Duel Monster's territory before.

"Before I joined the gang I use to hang out with Yugi and Ryou at their house...it hasn't changed right Yugi?" Joey shrugged and glanced at Yugi.

"Nope still in the same place!" Yugi smiled and nodded.

"Thanks, bud." Joey nodded and chuckled.

"No problem!" Yugi giggled and smiled bigger.

"Joey...do you know everything about this little one?" Atem looked at Joey and raised an eyebrow.

"Well I hope so since we've been best friends since we were babies." Joey nodded and put the list even in his pocket.

"Even his real name?" Yami raised an eyebrow and wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist.

"What do you mean?" Yugi looked up at Yami and tilted his head.

"Oh just that you aren't Yugi Bakura but Yugi Mutou." Yami smirked and chuckled evilly. Yugi's eyes widened and he forced himself to shake in fear. The rest of the room's eyes widened except Atem and Joey's as they already knew. Joey frowned and looked at the ground, as he noticed Atem was glaring at him.
