Yugi blinked at him. "If its so bad then why don't you leave?" Malik sighed "Because we can't leave"

"Why? There's the door all you have to do is leave"

"it's not that simple kid" said Seto "Mark" he jerked his head towards the other room "has every one of us under his thumb. We can't leave because he won't let us, he has stuff on every one of us so if we try to leave he can call the police and we will be dragged off faster than you can say wait whether what he says is true or not."

Yugi was about to say something but Malik stuffed the rag back in his mouth as mark walked back into the room and looked at the three in the room

"clean them up then I want the runt in the ring in 2 hours to see what he can do."

He then turned around and stomped out the door locking it behind him. Malik sighed and Seto rubbed his forehead to prevent an oncoming headache. Then the two untied him from the chair, allowing him to stand up. After he was untied they led the way into the 'punishment room.' Yugi gasped at what he saw.

It was a weight room stained red in what looked like blood, there were poles with wrist and ankle cuffs, there were three 'beds' with chains also attached to the four corners, one had Marik attached to it, then there was a pile of rope in one corner a bag full of things he didn't want to know about, and on the far wall there were five sets of shackles bolted to the far wall one set held Yami immobile.

"Yami!" Yugi gasped as he rushed over. Yami's wrists were shackled to the wall above his head, and he was scraped and bruised all over his bare chest and arms his shirt lay in pieces around him , his legs were still covered in his leather pants Yugi saw him in earlier, he also had a split lip and was unconscious.

Yugi quickly unshackled him from the wall and gently tapped his face, "Yami wake up" he said gently, after a couple minutes of this he was rewarded with a grown and Yami's eyes flickered open.

"y-y-yugi?" he asked hoarsely "yes it's me let's get you cleaned up" he put one of yami's arms over his neck and helped the other teen stand.

Yugi glanced over to where Malik and Seto was reviving Marik

"Where's the bathroom?" Seto looked over to see Yugi helping a dazed Yami stand "over there" he nodded towards a door that Yugi missed.

Yugi nodded and helped Yami into the crude bathroom and sat him on top of the toilet. After some scrounging he found the disinfectant and tended to the small scrapes, making Yami wince every once and a wile. After that was done, he took a hand towel and dampened it with cool water and started gently wiping it over Yami's bruised chest to get the rest of the dirt off of him. Yami watched him as he tended to his hurts,

"Why?" he finally asked.

Yugi looked up "why what?"

"Why are you here, why do you help me when you could get out of here before he has something on you to keep you why.." he was silenced by Yugi's finger

"Why I'm here is because I was brought here, why I don't run I have no idea where I am so even if I do get out I could be more lost then before, why I'm helping you in a time of need is a stupid question" 'and another reason I can't tell you just yet' Yami chuckled at his answer, Yugi smiled, "I don't need a reason to help it's just what I do."

Yami smiled "thanks" there was a pounding on the door making both occupants jump. Malik stuck his head in the door

"hey Yam good to see you up, you two need to be in the ring in about a half an hour." Yami raised an eyebrow

"What do you mean by us two?" Malik looked right at him

"You know exactly what I mean" Yami's eyes went wide then his head went into his hands.

"oh no, oh no, no, no, no" Malik sighed again

"oh yes, yes, yes. Yami get yourself dressed and see if you can find Yugi here some more appropriate clothing." It was Yami's turn to sigh as he stood up

"Fine, is Kiba ready with the car?" Malik nodded "ok see you in about ten min. ok?" Malik nodded again and disappeared.

Yami then looked at Yugi sadly "it looks like you're one of us now, come let's see what you can do, but first follow me."

He lead the way out of the room to a bed room five doors down from the 'room' and opened the door. It looked like an ordinary room, bunk bed, dresser with a mirror on the top so he can put on makeup when needed, rug on the floor and a closet. Yami tapped the bottom bunk

"This is where you sleep, and I'm up there" he pointed to the top bunk, yugi nodded. He then when over to the closet and dug around in there until he found a pair of black pants,

"yugi can you skate?" surprised at the sudden question yugi answered "yes… my mom taught me before she died when I was seven"

"Oh, I'm sorry" yugi shook his head

"It's ok" yami smiled then chucked the pants at yugi, "try those on and see how they fit, they're a little small for me so they should fit you, bathroom is across the hall."

Yugi nodded again and went into the bathroom, a minute later he came out and showed already dressed yami in his own slacks and a white tee shirt, the pants. They looked like black dress pants, but they were made of cotton instead of satin.

"yep that should do for practice" then he handed yugi a white cotton shirt "pull this on then we're good to go." Yugi grabbed the shirt turned around and pulled off his own to pull on the looser white tee shirt witch so happened to fit the cute boy. Yami mentally smacked himself again 'cute where did that come from;' he shook his head to clear the disturbing thought from his head.

"Yami are you ok?" yugi asked when yami suddenly shook his head, yami nodded blushing

"Yes, yugi I'm fine let's go" and he walked toward his bed and around the back (the bunk is not in the corner just on the wall) confused yugi followed to find a fireman's pole in the corner. Yami turned and grinned slipped a pair of biker gloves on his hands, chucked another pair at yugi and down the pole he went.

Yugi stood there a moment then slipped the gloves on his own hands and then slid down the pole after yami. After ten or so floors he landed on cement floor in the garage where yami stood by a SUV with the door open.

"You comin?" he asked with a smile yugi nodded and hopped into the backseat with yami following. Seto noticing all passengers were present he took off with tires squealing.

When the car hit the rode yugi turned back to see where they live to see a rundown abandoned 30 story hotel with the front windows boarded up.

"the old Myer hotel" yugi muttered.

"you know this place?" yami asked yugi nodded

"It's a good thing I didn't try to run, because where I live is about" he thought a moment "three hours away and that's doing eighty on the highway" yami raised an eyebrow

"and where I met you was…"

"about a mile to a mile and a half away from my house" yugi finished for him. Yami's eyes bugged out

"a-a m-mile…" his head dropped into his hands "you probably hate me, if I hadn't dragged you along you would be home with your family by now"

yugi saw Seto roll his eyes in the rear view mirror, and he saw malik tense in the passenger seat, and then a hand from the rear of the car smacked yami upside the head making him: one jump, two pull his head out of his hands and look behind him to stare at marik who was glaring at yami. (this is a 8 person SUV n case you're confused)

"knock it off yami what's done is done there's no turning back now, so do us a favor and shut the f*ck up!" then yugi did the one thing no one expected.

He reached back grabbed a hand full of blond hair and pulled the head closer, staring right into his eyes, noses inches apart "look here buster, if I'm going to live around you guys, and help you out of this mess you have obviously gotten your selves into, you are going to behave or so help me I will hurt you so bad you will wish you hadn't opened your mouth got that."

Marik wide eyed and slightly shaking nodded and yugi let go of his hair which let him back up as far as he could away from the seemingly innocent boy. Yami was staring at him with wide eyes jaw slack, malik was as well, Seto had surprise written all over his face, his eyebrow raised. Yugi looked at the three

"what?" that snapped them out of there stupor turning to look somewhere else. Yami on the other hand put his head back in his hands and stayed that way. About ten minutes later the car pulled in front of the ice skating ring, yugi chuckled at the coincidence, the five got out and walked inside.

"yugi!!" called a voice yugi turned to see……Tea running over.

"There you are! I have been looking all over for you…" she trailed off when she looked at who he was with and her jaw hit the floor.

"Yami Atemu! You know Yami Atemu and you never told me!" yami hid behind yugi, while the others laughed. Yugi smacked himself in the forehead

"I just met him Tea and my cell is dead" he showed Tea the low battery on his cell. "oh, but still" she grabbed yami's hand and dragged him around yugi and started rambling on how good a skater he was and that she was his number one fan and on and on and on. It got so bad that yugi had to actually pry Tea off so they could practice, but Tea followed any way excited that she actually gets to see the Yami Atemu practice on the ice but had to stop when Yami lead the way into the boys locker room.

Tea pouted that she wasn't able to follow yami but she squealed "see you on the ice!" and ran into the girls locker room. Yugi shook his head as he followed yami to his locker and put in the combo. Yugi watched yami pull two pairs of black skates and handed yugi one pair. The pair sat down on the bench strapping there skates snuggly to their feet.

"yami? Can I ask you a question?" yugi asked finishing tying on of the skates.

"sure" yami shrugged.

"what did Malik mean by 'welcome to our worst nightmare'?"

Yami tensed then sighed as he turned towards yugi. "I guess you might as well know now that you're in it." Yugi leaned forward, but unknown to yami he hit a button on his cell phone to record what yami said.

"it's like this" yami began " about two years ago me, and seto were brought to court to testify about a robbery, that ended up putting the man in to jail. Well this man was Marks father, and his father swore that one day we will regret putting him away. We didn't think about it much, because the man was going to jail and we were safe, but we weren't as safe as we thought. About a half a year later me, seto and our friends malik, and marik went down to the pier to fish well there was a rifle left on the dock. well I picked it up to see if there was a name or number on the barrel so we could call the owner, well there wasn't one, so I handed it to Seto so he could record the number so we could find out that way. Well we came to find out that the gun was stolen, we called the authorities and they went to go pick it up. Well when they got there the gun was gone and the next day two people were shot with the very same gun. One of them survived and described me, seto, malik and marik to a pin, right down to what we were wearing that day, and it so happened that we went up to a secret location that my family knew about where there was no one there but us, so no alibi but the four of us. We heard on the news that we were suspects, and went to go turn ourselves in, well about half way there some on shot out our tier and we went spinning and rammed into a tree in the opposite direction in which we were heading, so we started hoofing it about ten minutes later someone drove by in a black van and stopped. Thinking it was someone who might give us a ride we walked up to the van, to get a dart in the back to knock us unconscious. I woke up later to find myself and the others chained to that wall with duck tape over our mouths and mark in front of us sneering. He told us that he was the one to plant the gun, shoot out our tier, and shoot at two of his friends that he paid off to tell the authorities that it was us. Then that he and three of his friends were pulling off robberies with masks and wigs so they look exactly like us, and 'tried' to keep they're 'identities' but the camera outside and the camera in the store caught all four of our faces so we are being hunted by the police."

Yugi lifted an eyebrow "if your being hunted then why are you and the others out in the open, as a famous skating star and using your real names?"

"I wasn't called yami back then I was called Atem, seto was set, malik was Tim, and marik was Tom, and the skating rig was marks idea he found out somehow that I took skating lessons from a pro and was fairly good and threatened us if we don't cooperate he'll drag all of us to the police, and since they did so many felonies with our names and faces that if we get dragged there we'll be put on death row without a trial."

Yugi nodded 'that's right so if he said was true then, for two years we have been looking for the wrong people' "I'm sorry to hear that, but why am I here?" yami sighed

"you're here because…..

he he sorry couldn't help my self there! ill try to get the next one up soon!

Review please!!!
