hikari: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the film DragonHeart!

Chapter 8

That evening, Yugi had fallen asleep in the golden cage. But Atem's mind was filled with soo many thoughts, he could not sleep. 'Maybe some night air will help clear my mind' he thought, as he walked out of the great hall and into the courtyard.

'Why am I feeling like this? Could it be possible that I've truly fallen in love? But, Yugi would never return my feelings.' Atem sighed and looked at the stars. He saw a familiar constellation; 'Draco'. He laugh a little knowing that 'Draco' was the human saying for 'Dragon' and that the great dragon artist was named after that constellation. 'I feel soo different from the dragon I once was. I am no longer a cold hearted beast…Yugi..has..changed me some how.'

Suddenly something caught Atem's eye. 'Hmmmmmmm, I wonder what that is?' He was about to investigate, when he thought 'Wait! What about Yugi?! I can't just leave him here alone. What if some happens to him while I'm away.' So with that thought, he made his way back inside.

Atem found Yugi curled in a ball in the cage, sighing he took Yugi from the cage and carried to a safe place within the hall. He put Yugi in a small room 'You'll be safe here Little One' with that, he locked the room and went back to investigate what he had just seen.

-Earlier that evening at the Emerald city-

"So it is decided." King Solomon said "Half of our troops, will distract Atem and lead him away from his lair. The other half, will find my grandson and bring him home." "Yes my king" General Raphael said as he bowed "We shall rescue the young prince from the savage beast. I swear on my life, if Prince Yugi has been harmed. I'll kill that dragon!" he shouted as he draw his sword. "You have my word my king, Yugi will be saved!"

-Back to the present-

Yugi awoke to a lot of shouting, he slowly rose and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Huh? Where am I?" He said as he looked around the small room. The room was lit by four torches, which were in the four corners of the room. "I don't remember falling asleep here." he turned around quickly, when heard footsteps outside the door.

"PRINCE YUGI! WHERE ARE U PRINCE?! WE'RE HERE TO RESCUE YOU"

Yugi's eyes widened when heard the voice. "I know that voice. I-it can't be?! How did he get in here, Atem wouldn't never have let him in here!" that's when Yugi realised some thing he didn't think of before. "Wait…where is Atem?!"
