Thanks for all of the reviews! ^^
And I do have to say, the thoughts that y'all came up with, Yugi starving himself to talk with his yami, I never even thought about that! :o Like seriously, it never came across my mind! But, I like y'alls guesses!
OH! And, I got a new yami, her name is Lisa . . . . and ... yeah, beware of her! xD Enjoy!

Chapter eight:
Yugi waited on his bed, lying down with his arms crossed behind his head. Dinner was done and over with, meaning that in about an hour, lights would go off.
For supper, they had chicken strips with mashed potatoes, a salad, and had brownies for dessert. Even though the dinner sounds yummy and amazing, (in my opinion XD) Yugi barely ate anything. Since hearing that Cassandra put something in his dinner to make his and Yami's connection not work, he didn't have much of an appetite, so he just moved his food around on his plate to make it seem like he ate.
Tonight of all nights, was the beginning of Yugi's turn to spend two nights with Cassandra. He thought to himself many times that he would rather take all the math tests in the world than go with her. But sadly, he didn't get that option. So right now, the young Yugi Mutou laid on his bed in wait for either Coby or Cassandra to come and get him.
Yugi looked around the room he shared with all of the other eleven guys. The other boys were either reading a book, playing card games, which Devin was playing a game of 'War' with a guy named Lee, or playing the X-Box 360, which Mark and his three friends, Greg, Sokko, and Leon, were doing. This was what happened every night after supper and chores; you just relax before bed time.
As he was looking around, the door to the room opened and someone walked in.
Out of instinct, considering this happened quiet often, Yugi got up off his bed and started to walk towards the door. No one looked up, they just continued doing whatever they were doing, even Devin,
"Good evening, Yugi." A seductive voice said as said name made it to the door.
"Hi, Cassandra," he mumbled to the red head.
Cassandra smiled and gently placed her hand on Yugi's back, leading him out of the room. Once the door closed, the two walked side by side down the hallway.
Today, she was wearing a spaghetti strap, royal blue dress that went down to her knees. She had three-inch black high heels with black dangly earrings and a matching black necklace. Yugi, on the other hand, wore what he usually wore; his gray hoodie and blue jeans. ((A/n if you were wondering, all the guys have like three sets of clothes, but they all match. Like, Yugi has three gray hoodie's, and etc. :P))
"So, how was your day, Yugi?" Cassandra asked. She looked down at the small boy from the corner of her eye.
Yugi shrugged. "Good."
"Eat enough for dinner?"
"Yeah."
They continued to walk. Cassandra would ask Yugi questions in which he would answer, usually a one or two worded answer, but better than nothing, right?
Before long, and after many turns down hallways, the two came to a door marked with a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door knob. Cassandra brought a key from the top part of her dress ((Every girl's pocket ;))) and unlocked the locked door. She then opened the door and beckoned the boy to go in.
Stepping into the room was like stepping into one of those romantic settings you only see on TV. The room was illuminating a red glow in a natural way; the dark red catches your attention like a fat boy to an all-you-can-eat dessert layout. A large king-sized bed stood opposite of the door with the head-board touching the northern wall. See-through red drapes hung over the bed, making an almost like canopy of curtains. To the left of the room is the dresser that held up a large mirror with girly accessories and make-up around it and a bathroom door closed next to it. To the right of the room and next to the bed, was a bed-side table containing a lamp and an alarm clock. Also, to the right, was a huge window that was being covered by a long, thick curtain, not letting an ounce of light to seep through.
About half way into the room, Cassandra closed the door behind her and started to walk towards Yugi.
"You know the drill honey; strip and get on the bed."
Yugi didn't move. Having done this so many times, (About twice a month for as long as he's been here) he was tired of it. Now, don't get me wrong, he was tired of it all the other times, but now, he was going to do something about it. Why does he have to do what she says?
Suddenly, he could feel a presence behind him. "If you want, I could always help you." Cassandra whispered, sexily.
Yugi gulped but didn't move. Instead, he shook his head. "I'm not doing this anymore, Cassandra. This is sick and wrong."
Ever so slowly, the billionaire, ((Yes, she's rich, AKA big house?)) walked around him until she stood in front of the boy. Bending down so that they were eye-level, she spoke, "do you want to know what happens to boys who don't do as I want them to do?" Her voice held an edge to it, but surprisingly, it was smooth like its normal mother-y like. ((A/n I know, it's contradicting! But . . . I didn't know what else to say!)) Yugi didn't know what to do so he didn't do anything. Cassandra continued, "They end up being 'introduced' to my garden."
Yugi's eyes filled with confusion. 'Introduced to the garden? What does that mean - -," His eyes widen as he remembered from so long ago when Coby told him a short story on his first day here.
'One time, this group of boys were plannin' on sneakin' away, but Cassandra caught them right outside their room. Since then, no one has heard from 'em. And do you know how long ago that was? Five months.'
His eyes widen as he realized what she meant and he tried to hide it, much to his fail. Theirs many different ways to explain the garden, but all Yugi could think of was death. He remember watching this CSI show on TV a long time ago about a mom killing her son and when the police asked her why she buried him in there, she just said, "He wanted to see my garden so much and I asked him, 'Do you wanna be introduced to it?'" So, in a way, being introduced to an unanimated object meant dying in order to meet it. Cassandra, saying she had 'introduced' those guys to her garden, meant she killed them and buried them in there.
Cassandra smiled at his reaction. "You know, if you were to tell someone, I'll also have to introduce you to my garden. So, how 'bout we keep this a secret just between us, hm?"
Yugi barely nodded his head. So many thoughts were swarming his brain that he couldn't sort them out enough to speak.
Cassandra stood straight again and walked away from him, going towards the dresser to take her jewelry off. From across the room, she called out, "Now, do as I say and get in the bed."
Like a plane that was set on automatic, his body moved by itself without a consent from his brain. He walked over to the king-sized bed. The dark red, see-through curtains was already pulled back and tied to the posts. Ever so slowly, he pulled his gray hoodie off over his head to reveal his bare chest. Then, he slid his blue jeans off.
The teen hesitated, looking at the bed with much discomfort before feeling the same presence behind him once again.
A cool hand rested on his shoulder. "Come on," Cassandra said, almost encouraging like.
Yugi squared his shoulders before he felt a cold metal click against his right wrist. This was standard; whenever you go with her, she would chain your wrists to the bed to make sure you couldn't escape.
Knowing that there wasn't anything he could do, Yugi slowly climbed onto the bed. He sat near the pillows, facing the door. Cassandra moved with him, her bare chest touching his shoulder as she laced the hand cuffs through the head board and clicked the remaining cuff to his other wrist. Trying to be gentle, but with a hungry expression that didn't turn out to be gentle, Cassandra pushed the boy down so that he was lying on his back before having her fun.
XxxxX ((FYI sex or rape could go on for as long as you want . . . :0 Lisa: And how would you know that…? Shush up; I watch and read a lot of shows/ books. -.- ))
What felt like years later, when really it was only hours, the red head curled up against Yugi's side and started to make little circles on his chest.
While Cassandra did what she did to the poor soul she's with, the boy goes off into la-la land. (Like I said before). For example, let's use Yugi. He always sets his mind and body in auto pilot and always goes into la-la land. In his own world, he relives his memories because they give him comfort and lets him remember his friends. It takes his mind off of what was happening to him. Now I know you're curious what I mean when Yugi's body goes into auto pilot, what do I mean by that. Well, I mean that it kind of just does whatever Cassandra wants it too. I want to go into details on explaining, but I find it very awkward . . .
Anyways, Yugi blinked his eyes clear from a daze/ he moved his head a fraction towards the end of the table next to the bed and looked at the alarm clock. Little red numbers glared at him and it read 2:56am.
'Ugh . . . it's only been a few hours.' He whined in his head. 'Just until tomorrow evening and I'll be free.' The thought sounded nice to him.
Cassandra sighing brought Yugi's attention back to her. She had her head resting on his shoulder and she wiggled closer to him, even though they were as close to each other as they could possible get.
"You know, I've been thinking," she said sleepily. ((She's awake now)) Her finger started to make circles on his chest again, sending chills up along his spine.
"What have you been thinking?" Yugi asked his voice full of dullness. If he didn't reply or say anything, bad things would happen, Not as bad as killing, but more like extra chores, no dessert (:P) extra chores, or when worse comes to worse, spending an extra day being with Cassandra.
The red head brushed her lips against his neck. She kissed it, then started to make her way up until her mouth was next to his ear. "I've been thinking of a lot of things." She whispered. Her hand stopped moving.
Yugi swallowed a bit nervously, but managed to stay quiet.
A few minutes passed by and she still didn't say anything.
'She get's like this every time. It's like this is a drug to her.' Yugi thought, remembering the last few times she acted very similar to this.
Finally, Cassandra started talking again but it seemed like she was more like, drunk sounding. "I wanna tell you something that you should know. It's a secret, so don't tell anyone."
Yugi frowned. 'This . . . is different.'
"I know all about the Millennium Puzzle and the person living it." She giggled like a little girl. Even though Yugi had already heard this, accidently eavesdropping on Coby and Cassandra, his body went still. "I even know about yours and his connection."
She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear before resuming the circling on his chest.
"I already know you know that I know this." She mumbled. Yugi's eyes widen a bit. "I knew you were eavesdropping on me and Coby, that's why I revealed so much."
"I -,"
"Sh . . . it's alright, I don't mind." She said, interrupting him. "I think you should know how this happened; I bet you're dying to know.
"Before you came here, Yugi, Coby and I did a little research on your puzzle and what we found, well, it was like finding gold. We learned a lot of things, even a way to block your connection."
Yugi's hands tightened into fists but said nothing.
"Apparently, there's a plant in Egypt that messes with your brain." Cassandra continued. "I bought it for real cheap and bought a lot; you know, for you and maybe for when your friend comes."
"What exactly does the plant do, besides mess with the brain?" He asked, ignoring her other comment.
The chick smiled, happy that he was talking. "Hm . . . there are some scientific terms that the foreign people said, but I honestly don't remember. That, and their Japanese accents were horrible. ((A/N I would say English… but yeah,)) But, I do know what happens when you stop taking it. That plant, its' so strong that you only have to take it once before you're completely addicted to it. Once it enters you system, it takes weeks upon weeks to get out, unless you have the antidote, which we don't.
"Anyways, you want to know the side effects, right? Well, I'll tell you, sugar. If you stop taking the plant, after only one day will you feel nauseated and become sick. You'll feel like you want to throw up your insides. The next couple of days, you'll get a high fever and after that," she said, kissing his cheek lightly, "you'll die from blood loss." (1)
He didn't know what to say. What could he say? 'Dude, you're a bastard.'? Yeah, like that'll go well. So he stayed quiet, thinking over what she said.
'So no matter what, the outcome is going to be bad. If I do manage to escape with the others, I will die. If I stay here . . . well, it's as bad as dying. I wonder if the others . . .'
"What about the others?" Yugi asked out loud.
In a sleepy voice, Cassandra muttered, "What about them?"
"Do they also take the poison?"
"Hm . . . no, just you." She softly said and let a yawn out, giving Yugi the clue she was falling asleep. "Why give them any if they don't have a millennium item?"
Before he could reply, Cassandra's breathing started to even out and within seconds, she was asleep. The circling motion on his chest stopped and her hand laid limply across him.
He didn't know what to do, so he did what he always did; let his mind wander until he fell asleep.
Lying on the bed, having no clothes on and having his hands cuffed to the bed post, young Yugi Mutou sighed. He hated this so much that he rather have death take his life then stay here for another second. But, death couldn't take his life; he had to suffer because of someone's horrible decision. There was nothing he could do, much less think of to do. He tried, for a while year to think of an escape plan, but every thought that came to mind, wouldn't have worked.
'Why does everything always have to happen to me?' He thought. This must have been the millionth time he'd ask himself this question in that past year versus the rest of his sixteen years. 'But, at least I'm finally starting to understand some things . . . this is the only best thing about being in the same room as her; she always ges very talkative as if she's drunk in some way, and says things she's not supposed to say.'
Yugi tilted his head just a bit to make sure Cassandra was still asleep. She was, thank the Gods. He moved his head back to just gaze around the darkened room.
After a few minute of random searching for nothing, he moved his wrists a bit to keep the blood flowing. The metal clanked against each other but not loud enough to disturb the sleeping lady. His wrists felt numb, the feeling you get when you leave your leg or arm in one position for too long and it falls asleep. Yeah, that's what his wrists felt like, but there was nothing he could do about it.
'I wonder how Jii-chan is holding up . . .'He thought. 'With me gone, who's helping him with the store? He can't do it all by himself. He'd strain his back,' His insides started to twist and turn with guilt, guilt for not being at home to help his grandfather. 'Jii-chan, I am so sorry I haven't thought of some way to get away from here . . . I'm sorry.'
Tears sprang to his eyes and gently trickled down his cheeks. Seeing as there was no way to wipe them away, he let them fall. As the tears continued to fall, his eyes became heavy with sleep. Slowly, he closed them and let sleep take him away.
XxxxX
Till Next Time! ^^
And, as for the changing of the title, I'll probably change it when I'm completely done with the story, as y'all said, it would be confusing. (So I'm still looking for a name…)
Ooooookay, so about the steps when you stop taking the plant….. So sorry it's not like an awesome really bad thing… I thought it was when I was writing it, but my author said it sucked…. I was going to change it, but decided against it for it will mess my whole story up. :/
Lisa: Well . . . . Interesting chapter . . . .
Thanks ^^
Lisa: I didn't mean that in a good way -.-
But - - what way did you mean it in?
Lisa: Hm . . . . You don't wanna know; trust me.
I can never trust you, Lisa!
Lisa: :0 But, I'm your yami, and you're my hikari! You have to trust me!
Who said so?
Lisa: … Your momma!
….. Think of that one all on your own?
