Chapter 5
Yami walked back into the guest room and flopped down on the bed beside Atemu. Atemu wrapped an arm around Yami and pulled Yami closer to him.
"So did you have a good talk with Yugi?" Atemu asked.
"I did. He and I needed that, so thank you for letting me talk with him I know it isn't something you really wanted to do." Yami said, before leaning up and pulling Atemu into a deep kiss. //Thank you Atemu.//
/Anything for you Anku./
Yami broke the kiss and smiled before he snuggled back against Atemu, with every intention of going to sleep.
Atemu chuckled, "Beloved, wouldn't you be a lot more comfortable if you got out of those restricting clothes?" Atemu asked.
"Probably, but then you wouldn't have any reason not to ask me to 'play a game' with you and quite frankly I'm too tired for that right now. You'll have to be happy with the three rounds you got earlier this afternoon." Yami said.
Atemu smirked before he snapped his fingers and Yami's clothes vanished. Atemu's hands immediately began to slide along Yami's now nude body. Yami groaned, "Atemu I mean it I'm tired and that numbing spell is wearing off so I'm sore as well. No more tonight, now let me get some sleep." Yami snapped.
Atemu sighed before he settled for wrapping his arms around Yami's waist. "Very well beloved, but you owe me." Atemu said.
"Atemu, you know me. I always pay my debts." Yami said before he drifted off to sleep. Atemu not too far behind him.
The next day was a rather relaxing one. Atemu and Yami spent most of the day in their room. Yami 'repaid his debt' first thing that morning when they woke up. After that the two were content with cuddling, kissing, and just being in each others presence. The two were making out when someone knocked on their door.
Atemu groaned as he pulled away. /This had better be important!/
Yami placed a soothing hand on Atemu's thigh before saying, "Yes?"
"Yami, it's me…I need to talk to you about something, its k-k-kind of important. So, can you come out here please?" Yugi asked.
Yami frowned slightly, recognizing the fact that Yugi was trying to keep pain as well as the fact he was crying out of his voice. Something was really wrong with him. Yami immediately got up. //Atemu, I need to take care of this. I'll be back later.//
/(sigh) fine beloved. Just don't take too long./
Yami walked out of the room and once he had pulled the door closed looked at Yugi and bit back a gasp of shock. Yami immediately dropped to his knees and tilted the boy's face up. "Aibou, what happened? Who did this to you?" Yami asked immediately, his eyes hardening as he took in Yugi's split lip, bruised cheek, torn clothes and pained expression.
"I-I-I was walking home from school, w-w-when some thugs pulled me into an alley. There were four of them. I tried to fight back, I really did. I kicked one of the guy's in the groin and bit one of the others but it didn't matter. They beat me up, said they were going to kill me. They only left when they heard a cop car driving by. I was so scared Yami." Yugi said before he wrapped his arms around Yami's chest and cried.
Yami gently wrapped his arms around Yugi and said, "Shh, it's alright Aibou. I'm here. Everything is going to be okay. I'm going to go and find those guys and make them wish they'd never been born. Okay?"
Yugi glanced up at Yami and whispered, "But what about…"
Yami smiled, "Atemu will have to deal with it. I still see it as my job to protect you and since I was unable to do that the very least I can do is kick the asses of those who dared to hurt you. Though, if you don't mind me asking why weren't Joey and Tristan with you when you walked home?"
"Joey had detention for sleeping during class and Tristan didn't come to school today. I think the teacher said that he had the flu." Yugi said.
Yami nodded before he stood up and opened the guest room door. "Hang on a second Aibou, I've got to grab my shoes and then we'll go."
Atemu sat up straighter and said, "Go where Yami?"
"I have to deal with something Atemu; I'll be back in a little while." Yami said as he picked up his boots.
Atemu frowned before he stood up, wrapping his arms around Yami's waist before he could exit the room. "You aren't going anywhere Anku unless you tell me where you're going." Atemu said.
Yami rolled his eyes, "Fine. I'll tell you. Yugi got beat up on his walk home from school today since I wasn't there to watch out for him. So now I'm going to go and hunt down the thugs that hurt him and punish them for their actions. I'll be back in about an hour." Yami said heatedly before he tried to pull out of Atemu's grasp.
Atemu sighed, "Beloved we've been through this. You don't play shadow games with anyone anymore. That's my job."
Yami then turned around sharply and said, "Then you deal with the bastards that hurt Yugi."
Atemu opened his mouth to say something but Yami cut him off, "Either you punish them Atemu or I will." //And don't you DARE say that Yugi doesn't deserve my concern. I swear to Ra Atemu you say anything like that and you'll be on the couch for the next 5000 years. Yugi is my friend, and no matter how much you love to downplay it the reason you and I were released from the puzzle. I refuse to turn my back on him. So if you won't help him then get out of my way and let me help him.//
Atemu's mouth hung open in shock for a moment before he decided that this was one of those times where it was better to cave, "Alright Yami I'll deal with them." Atemu said with a sigh.
Yami nodded before turning and walking out of the room, Atemu right behind him. Yugi looked surprised to see that Atemu was coming with them. Atemu glared at Yugi slightly and said, "Can we get this over with, some of us have better things to do with our time that spend all evening…" Atemu began only to stop when Yami elbowed him harshly in the ribs.
"Shut your damn mouth Atemu." Yami snapped.
Yugi glanced up at Yami and asked, "Umm, Yami why is Atemu coming with us?"
Yami sighed, "Because Aibou, Atemu won't allow me to play shadow games or put myself in any situation where I could potentially be hurt. So, Atemu is going to punish them on my behalf." Yami said.
"Oh" Yugi said before he turned and headed back towards the stairs, his head down and his shoulders slumped.
//Would it kill to be nice to him? Yugi has had a horrible day, he was beaten up, he's in pain and you are just making it worse.//
/I am not making it worse. I have other things that I can be doing with my time./
//Then why in Ra's name are you even coming with us? If you don't care and don't want to help then stay here.//
/No, because this is something that I'm doing for you, not Yugi, YOU. I could care less about Yugi, but since this is important to you I'll make these mortals pay./ Atemu said before he grabbed a hold of Yami pulling him flush against him.
//Let go of me Atemu. Right. Now.//
Atemu smirked before he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Yami's, though Yami refused to kiss him back. /I'm not letting you go until we fix things here./
Yami sighed before deciding there were some battles just not worth fighting and slowly began to press his lips against Atemu's. Once the two broke apart Atemu smirked before he whispered, "I love you my desert flower."
Yami rolled his eyes, "I'm aware of that Atemu, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion we were having. Now let go of me, we need to catch up with Aibou." Yami said.
"But I like you like this Anku." Atemu said with a smirk.
Yami sighed, "How about this Atemu, we go and deal with those bullies and you'll be able to have me like this the rest of the night…and if you don't let me go right now you'll be on the couch until further notice." Yami said quite seriously.
"Fine beloved, let's go." Atemu said as he loosened his hold on Yami so that now he only had an arm wrapped around his waist.
The two followed Yugi back to where he had ran into the thugs, and as luck would have it they were there once again…this time beating up another small boy. Yami clenched his fists in rage when he saw this; the boy that they were attacking looked no older than ten.
//Those Bastards.//
/Easy beloved, allow me to deal with them./
Yami looked at Atemu for a moment before saying, "Make sure they suffer."
Atemu nodded before he stepped forward, drawing the attention of the bullies onto himself. "It's game time." Atemu said just before the entire area was surrounded in a dark cloud.
Yugi walked over to Yami who had walked over to the injured boy on the ground. After Yami had made sure that the boy was alright, he turned to Yugi who was kneeling next to him.
"Do you know what Atemu is going to do to those guys?" Yugi asked, remembering Joey and Tristan telling him about some of the games Yami had played before Yugi got Yami to stop challenging people to them as often.
Yami shook his head, "No, I do not know what Atemu will do to them. Atemu will not tell me either, but I do know that Atemu will make them suffer for what they did."
Yugi nodded both boys straightened up as the cloud of shadows disappeared revealing a pleased looking Atemu.
Yami raised a brow when he noticed that the four thugs did not reemerge from the shadows with Atemu. Atemu smirked at Atemu and said, "You asked me to make them suffer beloved and I assure you they are. They will be forever tortured within the shadows where no one will ever be able to hear them scream."
Yami nodded his approval before Atemu wrapped his arm around Yami and said, "Let's be heading back."
Yami reached out and grabbed a hold of Yugi's hand while Atemu summoned the shadows to transport them back to the Game Shop. Once they had returned Atemu and Yami headed into the guest room while Yugi went to call change.
Later that night while Yami and Atemu were cuddling together after three rounds of sex Yami decided to talk to Atemu about something that had been bugging him. "Atemu, can you do something for me?"
"I'll do anything for you Anku, you know this." Atemu said.
Yami turned his head so that he was looking directly into Atemu's eyes, "I want you to start getting to know Yugi. In fact I'd like it if you would be friends with him." Yami said.
"Beloved I…" Atemu began.
"Atemu, I'm not expecting you to act like he's your best friend starting tomorrow. I just want you to start making an effort. You are both very important to me and I don't how you won't be remotely civil towards him. So, please try Atemu. For me." Yami said.
Atemu nodded, "For you I will try and get to know the boy and I will try and get along with him better."
Yami smiled, "That's all I can ask."
