Just a heads up:

/…. / that one means that whoever is controlling the body is thinking to the other.

'…' Is the other talking to the controlling…. So like, Yugi will be talking to Yami using /…. / and Yami to like '…' Get it? :? If not, tell me, I'll be more than happy to explain!

Chapter nine:

Yugi woke up at the same time as Cassandra did. She rubbed her eyes before sitting up and looked down at the chained up boy. She smiled.

"Good afternoon, Yugi. Did you sleep well?"

'What do you think? I'm chained up.' He wanted to say but instead, barely nodded his head.

"That's good." The red head turned away from the boy and looked over to the bedside table that held a lamp, alarm clock, and a small golden key. She first looked at the clock, which read 1:30pm, then reached over and picked the small golden key up. She turned back to the boy and unlocked his hands from the cuff.

Once the metal had loosened, Yugi wiggled his hands free and sat up. He rubbed his sore wrist.

"Now, do whatever you need to do, but no leaving the room." Cassandra said, getting off the bed. At the other end of the bed laid a light blue bathrobe, which she slipped into. Then she walked to the door without another word.

Yugi watched her leave and once the door closed and locked behind her did he get up. The first place he went to was the bathroom to throw-up.

Every time Yugi went with Cassandra, he'd throw up. She never found out, though, because Yugi hid all of the evidence; brushed his teeth for one, then took a shower afterwards. No matter how many times she rapes him, his mind always makes it seem like it's the first time. Now let me tell you, if you feel the need to puke for whatever reason you have, puke. Your body is just trying to help you, or in Yugi's case, help him block out everything that happened to him and how he lost his virginity.

Now, I know you're curious, curious on why Cassandra left the room. Well, she doesn't like to have sex/rape for two days straight. After a few hours, she falls asleep, and when she wakes up, she has to do some things. No one knows, maybe she checks up on everyone to make sure their doing what they need to do or takes birth control. That would probably explain why she doesn't get pregnant . . . but, back to the story. When she leaves, the boy is allowed to do anything to his interest; watch TV, take a shower, eat something out of the snack bar that was hidden in a closet, or whatever.

Yugi pukes his mostly digested food out, along with whatever else was in his tummy and something that didn't catch his attention, a bit of blood. After he was done, he flushed the toilet, brushed his teeth and decided to take a shower.

The hot water trickled down his body in a soothing way, making him a bit sleepy. At home, he usually took a shower right before bed because the water relaxed his mind and body and made sleeping easier.

As he applied the shampoo to his hair, his mind clicked off, going to the past where he spent most of his present in.

((I feel like I should go into a flashback….. but there's nothing I can write for it. :/))

The bathroom was warm and foggy with steam with the shower when Yugi stepped out. Since he couldn't get dressed in his clothes, he dried himself off with a towel, (Which was already laid out when he got there) before wrapping the towel around his waist.

'Just a few more hours . . .' He thought to himself. He walked out of the bathroom and first went to the closet that held the snack bar. He pulled out a granola bar, unwrapped it and ate it. He then went to where he always did, the covered up window.

Slowly, he pulled the heavy curtain back a bit to peak outside. The sun as bright and stung his eyes a bit. Ignoring his hurting eyes, he looked around the street. A lot of people were outside. Some were riding on their lawnmower while mowing their gigantic lawn, while others were washing their cars. Some people were walking or jogging down the road, some pushing baby strollers or running with their dog. Since it was Thursday, there were no kids or teenagers outside.

((Lisa: Just so you know, the window is nailed shut so that they can't escape. My hikari was stupid and didn't know where to put it…..))

Yugi sighed. Oh, how he missed having the sun beat down on his skin during gym class or the shade of the trees when he and his friends went to the park. He let the curtain fall back into place before turning his back on it.

'Every time . . . every time I look outside, I always think of school and my friends. Every time!' He thought.

Yugi walked across the room to where two of the dark red walls met, and sat down. He pulled his legs up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. Tears welled up in his but he wouldn't allow them to fall.

"I just wish . . . I could see my friends again . . . I wish I could go back to school, I wish I could help Yami recover his memories of his past life. I wish . . ." He softly whispered to himself. "I just want to be away from here. I wish none of this ever happened." Yugi rested his forehead on his towel covered knees.

"There just has to be a way out. I must not be seeing things through. Everything has its loopholes . . . so, what is the loophole? If anyone is listening to me," Yugi muttered out loud, feeling really weird that he was talking to nothing but air, "please help me find a way out. If not, then the others . . ."

Just as he finished his sentence, the door opened and in walked Cassandra. She had a smile on her face as she closed the door.

"What's wrong, honey?" She asked walking across the room to the boy.

Yugi stood up. "Nothing." His voice sounded odd, like someone else was speaking for him. But Cassandra took no notice of it. She changed her destination to the bed and looked over to Yugi to see him slowly walking over.

They didn't say anything as the small boy reached the bed, took his towel off from around his waist (much to his dislike) and crawled onto the bed. Cassandra followed in suite and locked him back up into the handcuffs.

For the next couple of hours, the two remained quiet, as in talking. Yes, there was a lot of moaning, sighs, shudders, etc. Cassandra did what she did as Yugi drifted from one thought to another.

Once the red head grew tired, she settled down on Yugi's right side. She curled up against him saying, "You know, you're better off staying here, living with me."

This snapped the boy out of his thinking world, where he was in a flashback of the events that took place in Battle City.

With his voice dangerously low, he said, "You know what would be good for me? Letting me and everyone go and you going to jail." He could feel the anger rising in his chest.

Cassandra chuckled. "One day, maybe that'll happen. But for now, it won't; you have to stay with me." Her arm snaked around his back and she squeezed him close to her, almost like she was hugging him. The anger remained and he narrowed his eyes.

"Wake me up if you get bored, love." She said in a sleepy but sexy voice.

Yugi grinded his teeth together but didn't say anything as he let her fall asleep. He looked over to the clock on the nightstand. It read 5:34pm.

XxxxX

The time ticked slowly by as he let her mind wander.

Flash Back:

The sun was shining brightly on the Saturday afternoon. The birds were chirping to one another as they sat in the trees; squirrels were out, trying to find food; and a loose dog was sniffing at every tree he came across, sometimes marking his territory. And then there was the gang, at the park, hanging out.

Tristan was lying on the soft green grass with his arms crossed behind his head. Teá was sitting up with one arm supporting her. She was wanting to lie down too, but couldn't because she was wearing a skirt. Sitting next to her was Yugi, also sitting up but with both of his arms supporting him. In front of him was their silver-haired friend, Ryou. Like Tristan, he was lying on his back with his arms crossed behind his head. And last but not least, was Mr. Joey Wheeler. He was lying next to Tristan, in the same position the other two were in.

The group was staring up at the sky, taking a break from reality.

"We should do this more often," Tea mumbled with her eyes closed.

The four boys nodded in agreement.

"It's much more peaceful being out here than in the city or wherever." Ryou sighed.

Yugi nodded and smiled. "Yup."

'What are you up to, Aibou?'

/We're just having a lazy Saturday./ Yugi thought back to his darker half. The millennium puzzle gave off a faint golden glow and the name-less pharaoh was sitting next to his partner in his transparent form. He was in the exact position as his light.

"Hey, Yuge," Joey said, moving his head to where he could see his smaller friend upside down.

"Yeah, Joey?" Yugi looked from his darker half to his blond friend.

"Do ya wanna play - -,"

End of Flashback:

Yugi suddenly snapped out of his flashback. He blinked a couple of times and looked over to Cassandra. She was still asleep.

'Why'd I - -,' he thought to himself why she snapped out of his dream land when the answer came to him. His nose . . . Was itching! ((Tee-hee))

'Agh! You've got to be kidding me!'He practically screamed in his mind. 'Of all times, my nose just had to itch when my hands are chained up! Great, just great.'

The small boy tried to move his head to the side to see if his nose would be able to touch his arm to scratch it, but couldn't. He glared at nothing before squeezing his eyes shut and tried to imagine the itch going away. Of course that didn't work.

'Hm . . . What should I do? This itch won't go away . . . and it's bothering me . . .' Without really thinking about it, his hand reached down and scratched his nose. His eyes opened and with his mind blank . . . then filled with surprise. 'Did I just . . .' He looked at his hand right in front of his face without anything chaining it.

"Am I dreaming or something?" He whispered too surprised to remember to be quiet. He turned his free wrist around to make sure it was real.

Cassandra twitched, causing Yugi to stiffen and his eyes to widen. 'If she wakes up and see that my hand is loose, she'd get mad.'

Without trying to cause any movement, he quickly brought his hand back to the cuffs, trying to make it look as though he was not free. And it looked like the Gods were on his side for the red head didn't wake up. He let out a silent sigh of relief.

'That was close . . . but why is my hand free?' He tilted his head to look up at the bonds around his other wrist. His eyes widen at how loose the cuffs were. 'Did she forget to tighten them? Or . . . did someone really hear me?'

Trying to be quiet, the boy brought his other hand down to his face while holding the cuffs with both hands so that they wouldn't clank against each other and make a noise.

'If this is a sign, then I'm taking it.' He thought, determination entering his mind.

Once he brought his tired arms down, he angled them away from the sleeping girl so they wouldn't touch her.

'This is my only time to escape, so I need to be careful.' He thought. 'But first things first; I need to get away from Cassandra without her waking up.'

Having once seen a movie where the main character was in a similar position, Yugi undid the cuff from his remaining wrist, then carefully set the metal on the bed next to me before grabbing an un-used pillow next to him. Cassandra didn't move or twitch once.

'Getting away from her is the tricky part,' Yugi thought. 'In the movie I watched, the dude used pillows to replace the body mass instead to just leaving. So the pillow in my substitute . . . but one wrong move and I'm a goner.'

Getting the pillow ready, Yugi leaned forward a bit, remembering that her arm was still under his back. Right when he lifted his back up, he immediately placed the pillow in his place. He waited a second and watched the red head. She didn't wake up.

'So far, so good,' Very slowly, the boy started to move away from her.

The female's arm twitched, causing Yugi to stop dead in his tracks. But when she didn't move or wake up, he let out a breath of air he didn't realize he was holding and continued to inch away.

All of this took a minimum of five minutes. But after inching away from his seducer, he broke free. Taking his place were a few pillows.

Yugi got off the bed and looked back at the sleeping woman. She didn't really make any movement as he did. Quickly, he ran over to his pile of clothes and at a lightning speed, pulled them on. In the back of his mind a voice kept screaming at him to leave and get the hell out of there, but he didn't, well, just not right away. He glanced at Cassandra when an idea popped into his head, an idea that is so very not like Yugi.

The small boy ran back over to the bed, grabbed the handcuffs, and handcuffed one of her wrists too the bedpost without waking her.

'Just so she doesn't come after us . . .' He thought. He looked down at the bedside table where the little golden key was and picked it up. 'Okay, now I can . . .' Before he could finish his though, Cassandra stirred.

((I was so tempted to end the chapter here! ))

Yugi tensed. 'Oh crap, please don't wake up, please don't wake up!' He watched with fearful eyes as the female turned a bit and muttered something too low for him to hear, but she was still sound asleep. For the hundredth time that day, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank the Gods." He dared to whisper out loud.

Without really thinking about it, he crossed over to the dresser and opened the bottom drawer. In it there were some artifacts of clothes, some random jewelry, and underneath a shirt, a wad of cash. He took the cash and slipped it into his jeans pocket before closing the drawer and stood back up.

'I feel really bad about doing this,' he thought with a frown, 'but, we'll need to get a bus or something to get home from . . . where ever we are.'

This time, without another thought, he made a mad dash for the door like he was in the Olympics. He looked over his shoulder one last time before opening the door wide enough for him to squeeze through before shutting the door with a soft 'click'.

Then he ran. He ran and didn't care about being quiet anymore. All that mattered was running to the room he shared with the guys and helping them escape.

XxxxX

What felt like hours of running, Yugi turned the corner and was on the hallway that had the guys' room. Thanking, again, the Gods that today were Thursday, Yugi ran to the door. Since it was Thursday, the boys got a day off of cleaning, but were locked in their room until Coby came to get them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

He stopped at the locked door and fished for the little gold key in his pocket. Everyone, meaning the guys, already knew that the key unlocked every lock in the house. Finding the key, he jabbed t in the lock with shaky hands and unlocked it, pushing the door open.

Inside, everyone was relaxing; looking really bored. Three people were watching a group of guys play video games while the rest were reading books. When the door opened, they all looked up.

Mark, who was playing a video game, paused his game and watched Yugi breathing hard. "What's wrong with you?"

"We . . . got to . . . go!"

Devin stood up from his beanbag with a thick book in his hands. "Go? Go where? Are you alright?"

He nodded his head and regained his breathing. "We all got to go before she wakes up!" His voice was full of fear, but also impatience, which got everyone's attention.

By now, some of the guys were on their feet. Devin put his book on his seat before looking at Yugi with a confused look.

"Who wakes up?" Greg asked. He sat next to Mark with Sokko and Leon flanking his side.

Yugi shook his head. "Cassandra! She's asleep right now and we have to go before she wakes up and noticed me missing!"

Everyone's eyes widen, even Mark's.

"How'd you manage to es - -,"

Yugi cut a guy named Marcus, who had light brown hair that went down to his ears, blue eyes, stood 5'8 and was wearing a green hoodie with blue jeans, off. "I'll tell you later," he said in a rush, "but this is our only time to escape, and if we just stand here having me explain things to you, we'll miss our only time to escape. Now, are you coming?"

Everyone was on their feet now. More than half of the guys started to run for the door, but Mark stopped them.

"Any why should we believe you?"

The tri-hair kid held up the small, golden key. "She never lets this key leave her sight, never."

The next thing we knew, all twelve guys were running down the hallway. They ran in the direction of the front door with Mark and a guy named Lee, in the lead, and Yugi and Devin taking the end. As they were running, the hallways started to look familiar. ((A/n all the hallways are familiar to them, but this hall just stuck out.))

Devin looked over to Yugi, panting a bit. "Are you going to - -,"

"Yeah," Yugi said, already knowing his friends question. Devin looked ahead of himself again. As they continued to run closer to the door, Yugi yelled out, "Mark, hold up!"

The people in front of him slowed down until they stopped. They turned to look at the tri-haired kid.

Mark looked at him with an annoyed expression. "What is it?"

Yugi didn't answer him though. Instead, he went to the blue door and pulled the little golden key from his pocket. He pushed the key into the lock, unlocked it, and pushed it open,

The door swung open and Yugi yelled down into it, "Krissy, Alex, Dixie, c'mon!"

"Are you crazy?" Yugi and the rest of the group looked over at Leon, whose face was a deep shade of red. "Why are you letting them out?"

"They don't belong here, none of us do. Why is it fair that we can escape, but they can't?" Yugi challenged.

Leon didn't say anything. Good thing too because all three girls appeared, looking a bit confused. But when they saw all the guys, they understood.

"Yugi, you found a way out~" Alex squealed.

A blush crept upon the smaller kid's cheeks. "Uh . . . yeah."

"C'mon, we don't have time for this, Alex." Her best friend, Krissy, took Alex by the arm and looked over at the boys. "Well? Are we going to leave, or just stand around wasting time?"

Mark gave her a hard glare before turning around and took off running down the hall. The others followed.

"So how'd you do it?" Alex asked as they ran side by side.

"I-I'll tell you later once we're safe." Alex seemed to notice the discomfort in his voice so she didn't say anything else.

The group of fourteen teens ran down the hall and turned down many halls. They kept quiet, all of them lost in their own thoughts of freedom. The guys, as you could tell, wanted to yell in joy, but they knew if they did, something bad would happen, so instead, they punched the air with huge smiles.

Yugi did notice, however, Mark softly talking with Greg as they ran. At a few points in time, he would look over his shoulder. His eyes were either suppressing anger or regret. But before Yugi could decide which one, he'd turn away.

With their last turn of a corner, a big glass door came into view. The front door. Some of the guys quickened their pace, excited.

"We made it!" One of the guys, Tiler, exclaimed.

The guy next to him elbowed him in the side. "Dude, don't say that til we're gone!" Tiler smiled sheepishly.

Greg was only a few yards away from the door when something moved on their right. Yugi stopped immediately, which led to Alex and Krissy stopping, then a chain reaction occurred.

"Yugi, what is it?" Alex asked, her voice expressing happiness, but at the same time, concern.

"Yeah, c'mon Yugi, we're almost free!" Devin smiled real big.

Yugi just shook his head as his hand pressed against his temple. "We can't."

Mark, standing next to Greg, exploded. "And why is that?"

The small boy pointed to their right with his free hand. Thirteen pair of eyes followed his finger and their eyes widen in horror.

"Well, I see you got this far," Coby said, standing with his arms crossed against his chest.

XxxxX

Dun dun duuuuuuuuun! Until next chapter. What do you think of my cliff-y?

Wow, that was fast! ^^

Lisa: No it wasn't. That was slow if you ask me.

No one asked you….. But, ignoring Lisa, I wanted to say…. I FINISHED THE STORY!

Lisa: No you didn't. It's a cliff-y! You just can't end it like this! Your readers will kill you! And no one can kill you except for meeeeee, I mean…. Baaaaah!

…..A sheep? Really? Whatever, but I don't mean I finished the story like that. I write my story in a spiral that I take everywhere. And, I finished the entire story! I have all of my idea's written out! Now, I just have to re-write it in a different spiral, get my friend to edit, then post it up on here! But, it still might take the same speed for each chapter, so don't be expecting each chapter to be up super fast! ^^

Lisa: Baaaaah

….. You're not a sheep! *Forgets about killing comment.*

Lisa: *Grins evilly and looks away.* Haha, the bah-ing trick worked!
