Not
much of an A/N here (cause I�m going on vacation and am entirely too lazy to
say much) other than � Do you really think that Atemu and the others are going
to let these people get away with what they�ve done to Yugi?!!!

-chuckles-
I wouldn�t count on it!

WARNING:
This chap is again not for the faint of heart � you have been warned!!!

23
Days:

Atemu
looked thoughtfully over at his little one as he squeezed the small, pale hand
again. His chest tight with suppressed emotion. Yugi was beginning to squeeze
his fingers on command, at times seeming to even recognize left from right. And
numerous times it looked as though he might have wanted to say something, his
mouth opening and closing as if to form unheard words. Several times that day
Atemu had leaned in closely to try and catch the silent murmurs.

The
no longer needed breathing tube had been taken out, as well as several other
tubes that had been put in place to help him heal and the boy seemed to be
resting comfortably, a little more relaxed even, as he lay on his nearly healed
back.

Most
of the diminutive teen�s visible injuries had healed to the point of being just
simple white scar tissue, other than his ankle - which was still enclosed in a
plaster cast. His angelic face was back to normal and his beautiful eyes were
beginning to open just ever so slightly, the irises following every one of the
former Pharaoh�s movements.

But
once again the high heart rate and the myriad of feelings dribbling down the
barely existent link were giving Atemu cause for concern. The boy was just out
of his reach, he could feel it and he was powerless to do anything other than
sit there and hold his hand, whispering encouraging words as his little one
fought the hellish nightmares.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

What had he done that was so bad? Why
had he been taken away? Hadn�t he been good? His new master was coming again;
he could feel the vibrations in the floor from his heavy footsteps. A deep
involuntary shudder overtook his small frame. Not again! He wouldn�t survive.

�I knew you�d be awake��The man
chuckled maliciously. �I think we�ve had enough fun for now. I�ll just get me a
quick piece before I head to work.�

Yugi opened his swollen, black and
blue eyes as he was rolled over onto his stomach. He didn�t have enough
strength to fight back and wouldn�t even if he did. He knew his place. A
burning pressure came from down below, but he was used to that by now. He was
still bleeding profusely from the last time the man had done this, using some
kind of large vegetable in place of his organ. Another shudder rocked the small
teen�s broken form.

Even if he was used to it, and the
blood did give a form of lubrication, it still hurt from where the man had
thrust whatever he could find handy deep inside of him. His tears had long ago
dried and he couldn�t dredge up the will to care as he waited for the man to
conclude with his business. A few moments after it began, it was finished, and
with a grunt the man pulled out and zipped up his pants.

The man gave a last look at yet
another one of his brother�s toys that he had broken. This one would be dead by
the time he came home. But maybe not. Maybe there was time for one final round
later tonight. It didn�t matter to him, maybe he wouldn�t come back. He did
have another life to return to. He�d had his fun - he thought with a smirk.

He would beg his brother�s forgiveness
when he went back to town. His brother would forgive him, as he had the last time.
And if anyone happened to find the body of this whore inside the house that he
had procured just for this experience � well no one would ever be able to tie
it to him. He had already made sure of that.

He stalked back down the stairs and
out to the car. Jumping inside, he pushed the remote for the garage door and
went about his morning routine. Oh shit� he forgot to tie up his prize. Oh
well, no matter. He had no reason to worry, the boy was going nowhere. Not
after what he had put him through in the past week. Besides, the little slut
had learned only too well what was expected of him. His prize would still be
there when he got back, if he returned. It was still undecided�

Yugi fought hard against the numbing
feeling of impending unconsciousness. He heard the garage door open and the
sound of a car speeding away from the house. He moved his arms uncomfortably,
waiting for the blast of pain that always followed. Wait�he could move his
arms! That meant�

Groggily the small teen looked around
his surroundings. He knew he should wait willingly for his newest master to
come home. To not obey the command meant punishment. But�his new master�s
intent was to kill him � as slowly and painfully as possible. He could see it
in those cold blue eyes. He really didn�t want to die here. He didn�t want to
die and be disposed of like a piece of worthless trash. Even though that was
technically what he was. Another worthless whore.

He inched his way over to the side of
the hastily made, soiled pallet that he had called home for the past week,
coughing up small droplets of blood as he moved. Slowly he put his shaking legs
over the side of the mattress. Once his bare feet hit the floor an intense wave
of pain hit him, making him cry out in agony. More blood dribbled its way past
his dry, cracked lips to drip down his naked, painfully bruised chest. He cast
a longing glance at the barrier between him and his freedom.

Could he make it out the door? If he
did he had better be long gone by the time his master got home. Or his
punishment would be even worse than what it was before. It was at that moment
that he decided it was now or never.

He was going to die, and he knew it.
But he wanted someone to find him�someone needed to know. Someone very
important in his past life � someone that they had tried to beat out of his
head, but remained as only a dream, a wish. That person needed to know that
he�what was his name again(?) it wasn�t Hikari but he couldn�t recall�was no
longer missing, but instead free of his misery.

The image of the face was nonexistent;
the name of this person whom he cared so much about just out of reach � only a
pair of exotic scarlet eyes was left to haunt his dreams � but the small teen
knew there was someone who needed to know.

It took him a few moments to attempt
to stand; his entire body was nothing but a mass of painful bruises and
agonizing welts that tore open with every single movement. His arm wrapped
around his chest protectively at the piercing pain that invaded his mind with
every action, but still he pressed on.

Yugi used his other arm to push off
the bed and he promptly tumbled to the floor, with a surprised cry. Damn that
hurt! One of his legs was wholly unusable, unable to take his weight. He
thought it might well be broken after what had happened earlier in the week.
Self preservation and that fuzzy picture of someone very important to him
seated firmly in his mind urged him onto his bruised knees and he began to
crawl lethargically towards the door, towards freedom.

It took him a couple of tries to get
the handle to turn but he eventually got it. An almost euphoric high greeted
him at that victory. Now all he had to do was make it out of the house�

Yeah right.

He shook his head gingerly. He had to
stop thinking so negatively or he wouldn�t make it. Using his forearms to pull
him along the tiles, he moved slowly into the hall. The stairs were another
matter all together. How the hell was he going to get down those stairs? He sat
at the top, looking down the frightfully long stairwell.

Yugi took a deep, calming breath
despite the pain. He had nothing left to lose now. With a jerk of his body, he
threw himself over the edge of the stairs, half rolling half tumbling all the
way to the bottom where he landed in a broken heap on his injured back. Sobbing
quietly, he let the pain flow over his body, invading his brain and numbing it
to the throbbing, painful sensations.

He laid there for quite a while, his
mind fading in and out of consciousness. A creak somewhere in the house caught
his attention and, frightened; he slowly rolled over and began to crawl towards
the front door, leaving a tiny trail of blood in his wake. It would do him no
good to be caught now.

He coughed up another, larger spot of
blood as his breathing became further labored. It hurt so badly�he knew he was
bleeding internally. He could feel the blood running down his thighs as well as
a sharp pain in his spine that was no where near normal. And the excruciating
twinge in his chest was making it nearly impossible to breathe.

Before he knew it, the small teen was
out of the house and crawling down the cement driveway, tearing the skin on his
knees and his hands as he pulled himself further away from the house of his
tormentor. If he could just get away from the house�

Grass was a welcome feeling beneath
his hands. And he collapsed to the ground�spent. This was it, his time had
come. The darkness blurred the corners of his vision, before slowly taking over
the rest of his sight. If only he could have seen the one who�s dream like
image had kept him going one last time.

�Ya-mi�� He murmured softly � finally
remembering the name as he closed his tearstained eyes. His tormented brain
barely registered the sound of a near by woman screaming loudly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

��mi��

Atemu
whipped his head around at the soft sound. Did Yugi just speak? �Aibou�?� He
questioned tentatively, leaning in a little closer. His little one had been
waking up in stages for the past couple of days. And it almost sounded as if
the boy was trying to say his name.

�Aibou�if
you can here me�wake up. Its okay, I�m here�no one will ever hurt you again.�
Atemu coaxed the boy, his ruby eyes centered on the longed for sight of bleary
amethyst eyes as they began to open, to search.

Those
beautiful eyes focused on him� �Aibou�Oh gods! Yugi!� Atemu bolted from the
chair to raise the tiny figure into his arms. At his movement, the eyes widened
with fear. Startled, Yugi clumsily shifted away as fast as he could move.

Atemu
checked himself as he witnessed the spark of fear in those expressive eyes.
Dropping his gaze, he murmured an apology and returned to his seat - but not
before pushing the call button on the side of the bed. Finally! His little one
was awake. But why the look of fear? He gnawed on his bottom lip, his brain
refusing to acknowledge the answer�

Where
was he? How long had he been here? He couldn�t remember anything beyond being
brought into The Room for a minor
punishment and being told that he was being leased out for the week to
someone...He hurt�his body refused to obey his brain. He had been punished
again. It wasn�t even a question. What did he do this time?

Questions
and thoughts formed in the smaller teen�s mind, forgotten almost as soon as
they registered. One thought remained firm though. This wasn�t The Room,
and it wasn�t his room. Where was
he?!

Yugi
scanned the area tiredly, his strength fading fast, his eyes lighting on
Atemu�s wide-eyed figure with a sudden panic. Who was the boy standing
possessively by his bed? He looked familiar. Was this his master? He looked so
young. Was he the one who disciplined him? If only he could remember what it
was that he did to deserve such a severe punishment that left him wholly unable
to control his body. It was a mistake he really didn�t want to repeat.

Atemu
watched anxiously as Yugi fought to keep his eyes open. Where was their nurse?!
He could see the questions hidden within the amethyst depths as the boy peered
around the room before settling the startled gaze on him. He saw the trepidation
with which his Aibou looked at him. But he couldn�t talk. It was as if his
voice were snatched away by the terror in those easy to read eyes.

�You
called?� One of the nurses poked her head inside the door, unnoticed by Atemu,
but just in time to take in the sight of her patient � awake, maybe not alert,
but awake. �Oh goodness! I�ll get Dr. Brisby!�

�Aibou�?�
Atemu finally found his voice just as Yugi lost the bid to stay conscious, his
head dropping back onto the pillow.

As
soon as the amethyst eyes became hidden completely by the fringe of thick
lashes, the dark teen made his way back over to the bed. He brushed the lock of
blonde hair out of the smaller teen�s face lovingly. Had he imagined it? Was
his little one really waking up? It almost seemed surreal. Minutes ticked by as
he waited for someone, anyone to confirm what he thought he had seen as true.

�Atemu?
Is it true? Did he really open his eyes?� Alex�s tiny figure burst through the
door.

�I�I
think so. I don�t know.� Atemu replied, gazing wistfully at the motionless
figure lying in the bed. �I swear he was awake. But I don�t know now�maybe it
was a dream.�

Alex
grinned back at the tired teen. �Well, hon�if it was a dream, then you aren�t
the only one sleeping. Miranda said that she saw him too. Don�t worry. He�s
probably just drained. We�ll let him rest for a little while and then I�m going
to run a few tests. Why don�t you go and inform the others. I�m sure that they
would love to know he�s awake. I�ll be out of your way by the time you get
back.�

Atemu
nodded acquiescently and made his way out of the room, but not without casting
one last longing glance at the boy who appeared to be sleeping peacefully. It
had been so long since he was able to hold him, to see those beautiful eyes
light up with joy.

Would
Yugi still be the same smiling angel that he had come to know and love? Or
would there forever be a cloud of shadows hanging over the boy�s head? The dark
teen shook his head. Only time would tell. For now he was just glad to have his
little one back among the living.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

�Really?!
Really, really?!� Jou grabbed Atemu in a bone crushing hug, causing the dark
teen to wince.

�Jou�I
think you need to let Atemu breathe.� Seto grabbed his boyfriend�s arm gently,
attempting to free the former Pharaoh from certain death.

It
was the first chance that the duo had been able to get down to the hospital to
take part in what should have been a joyous occasion. But when they had gotten
there, it was to the news that Atemu had kicked everyone out of the room
earlier, with Alex�s whole hearted permission.

One
look at Bakura and Marik had sent the newly awakened teen into a full blown
panic. And it had taken Alex, Atemu and a nurse many long, difficult minutes to
calm him down. But Atemu had just told Jou that he could go see his friend for
a minute, and that was what had caused the brown eyed teen�s momentary lapse in
reason.

Jou
stepped back with a sheepish look. �Oh, uh�sorry about that�but he�s really
awake! And I can see him?! That�s great!�

��Yeah�it�s great�Look, guys�I, ah, don�t
really know how to say this so I�ll just come right out and say it. Yugi
doesn�t remember me�or the others.� Atemu glanced back towards the closed door
to his Aibou�s room with a tight smile. �Don�t be too surprised if he doesn�t
know you either. Alex said it may take him a while to regain his memories�if he
does at all.�

�I�m
all done now�you can come in. He�s awake, but I gave him something to relax
him. I don�t want more than three people in the room at one time.� Alex opened
the door to admit the three teens. �He�s disoriented and scared right now. He
knows he�s in the hospital, just not how he got here, and he�s not talking
quite yet. He�s been through a lot, so don�t make too much of his memory loss.
It�s going to take some time. And considering what he has been through, I want
you to take it slow. Let him be the one to set the pace.�

�What
do you mean?� Atemu questioned with a dark look. �Take what slow?�

��I mean that he�s not used to physical contact
� at least not without pain. Yes, he needs to be held and cuddled and all of
those things that every person wants, but go slow okay. He�s real hesitant to
let anyone lay a hand on him.�

The
former spirit clenched his fists in anger as he took in the doctor�s words. What
had he done? His Aibou was afraid of him. And try as he might, he was not able
to fully access the boy�s mind to find out why. He couldn�t get through. It
seemed as though the link wasn�t getting any stronger even though Yugi was
awake.

He
had tried many times throughout the day to contact the little one mentally � to
no avail. Intense feelings would trickle over to his side of the link, but no
complete thoughts. So he couldn�t comfort the boy that way, and right now the
frightened teen was refusing his touch. After spending the last couple of weeks
holding his hand, Atemu almost felt empty without the simple contact.

His
feelings must have shown on his face for the doctor�s next words were for him
alone.

�I
don�t mean to tell you that you can�t touch him. Just let him decided if he
wants it. I think it was your attempt to soothe him that really sent him off
the deep end earlier.� Alex reiterated.

The
whole group nodded in understanding before filing quietly into the room.
Atemu�s face lit up when he saw that Yugi was sitting up in bed, wide awake and
staring blankly at a commercial on the TV. How he had longed for this sight.
But there was still a long ways to go before they returned to living a normal
life.

�Aibou��
He murmured quietly.

�Yugi!�
Jou breathed, tears visible in his eyes. �My god�you�re awake.�

The
boy�s eyes left the screen and shot fearfully over to the visitors as he curled
in on himself nervously. Who were these people? What did they want from him?
And then he recognized the dark teen from before. This must be his master. He
had to be, his actions said so. But why did he look so sad? Was it because of
what happened earlier? Did he disappoint his master? Would he be punished for
it?

Atemu
cautiously took his seat in the chair by the bed, noticing as he did that his
little one flinched back towards the wall, shivering. Damn. This was going to
be harder than he thought. Shakily he held out a hand to the boy, hoping against
all hope that his offer wouldn�t be rejected.

Yugi
stared at the slender, bronze hand his master held out to him, amethyst eyes
wide with terror. And then he looked up and caught sight of the downcast
expression on the darker teen�s face. Was he supposed to do something? He
looked at the hand again. It was as if the other teen wanted to hold his hand.
Would he be disciplined if he didn�t? Or if he did? Was this a trick?

Hesitantly
he took the warm hand into his own. Better to be safe than sorry. He was quite
sure that the other was taking an accounting of how many punishments he earned,
so that he could administer them when everyone else left the room. The small
teen hoped that he had made the right move.

Atemu
sighed at the warm touch of Yugi�s tiny hand in his. Glancing up, he gave the
boy a tiny smile, but it died on his lips when it was returned with a tearful
look of panic. Had he moved too fast? Damn it he was doing this all wrong! All
he wanted to do was to hold the little one close to his heart!

�I�m
sorry Aibou�you don�t have to.� He murmured apologetically as he made to
withdraw his hand.

The
small hand tightened inside of his � unwilling to let go. The movement brought
the smile back to his lips and he let their entwined hands rest on the edge of
the bed, content with the simple touch.

Jou
and Seto watched the tender moment, neither willing to say anything that would
break the emotional silence. Tears threatened to fall from honey colored eyes,
and the taller of the two held his boyfriend close as they watched the touching
scene unfold before them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Day
43:

��That�s no excuse!!!� Atemu argued
vehemently. �There is nothing physically wrong with him to warrant that type of
action. I will not allow you to take him away from me!!!�

�I
never said there was anything wrong with him physically. He�s doing fine in his
physical therapy�in fact better than we could�ve hoped. The impairment is
mental. He�s too damaged psychologically to even speak. He needs to be in a
home that is equipped to deal that type of psychiatric��

�NO!
And that�s final! Do not speak another word of that�of that horse shit around
me!� The former Pharaoh snapped furiously as he stepped up, refusing to be
intimidated.

�Now
there�s no need to swear, I�m trying to do what�s best��

�What
is going on in here?!� Alex raised her voice as she stepped into the room,
pushing her way into the loud argument that had been going on between her
charge�s guardian and the hospital�s head psychiatrist for the past few
minutes.

�Lower
your voices! I can hear both of you all the way down the hall and in the other
rooms!� She snapped at the two men.

�He�s
threatening to take Yugi away! And I will not allow it!� Atemu growled low in
his throat, tapping the psychologist in the chest threateningly.

He
was more than ready to launch himself at this so called expert, this smug,
obnoxious man who talked so casually about calling a mental competency trial to
lock his Aibou away permanently.

The
only thing that kept him from throttling the man � or calling forth the shadows
� was the fact that Jou and Seto were once again in the room. Not that they
didn�t know he had his powers back, but he didn�t want to give them nightmares
with what he was capable of. With what he wanted to do.

And
on top of that, Yugi was also in the room, trembling as he sat curled in a
tight ball in his bed listening to their loud words. But, so help him if this
man persisted, he would�

A
muffled sob caught his attention. Yugi!! The dark teen glanced over at his
charge, his face paling when he spied the large tear drops in the other�s
luminous eyes. Damn it! His little one shouldn�t have had to hear this. Once
again he really wished that this man hadn�t started arguing with him the minute
he stated that he was taking the boy home after he was capable of getting
around on his crutches.

��don�t
know what type of trauma he�s been through. And we don�t know what�s going on
in his head. I�m sorry, but there are places well equipped to deal with his
problem � you�re not. It would be doing him a disservice�� The man went on,
convinced that the youth before was going to give in eventually as others had
before him.

�And
I said NO! Do I have to repeat myself yet again?!� Atemu hissed back, taking
another aggressive step forward to snag a hold of the doctor�s coat. If only he
could�

Seto
put a hand in between the two combatants, breaking Atemu�s hold. �He gave his
final answer. The answer is no. Now unless you would like to lose your cushy
job, I suggest you go inconvenience someone else!�

�But
what if he attempts suicide�what if he tries to commit�� The man continued,
raising his voice again, intent on defeating his opponents� flimsy argument.

�Atemu
is well aware of that possibility, Dr. Moran. And for your information, these
two gentlemen can and will have you dismissed if you continue to trouble them.�
She grinned at the look of shock on the man�s face. �Dr. Moran please meet the Atemu Motou, founder of the Light of
Hope Foundation�and the Seto Kaiba,
CEO of Kaiba Corp., two of our newest - and finest board members.�

�I�m
quite sure they are capable of dealing with Yugi�s rather overwhelming problems.� Alex finished sarcastically with a roll of
her eyes.

She
really hated that man. She had ever since he was hired a little over a year
ago. He was always right and anyone who argued against him was beaten down
until they accepted his sometimes flawed theories. With a quick glance in the
direction of the two powerful teens she held back the grin that fought its way
to her lips. They both looked at the other doctor with superior, predatory
smirks.

�Fine!�
The man huffed as he took his leave. �But don�t expect me to give permission
for him to leave. He�s not capable of existing in society. He needs to be
locked away, permanently. I will be stating that in my report!�

At
those words Atemu took a threatening step in the man�s direction, his eyes
flashing dangerously. Nobody�but nobody called his Aibou insane. Seto snatched
the shorter teen back by the hem of his shirt, knowing full well what was about
to happen.

�I�ve
got his number�don�t worry about him.�

The
blue eyed CEO kept a hold on the smaller teen�s shirt as he pulled the phone
out from his brief case and dialed a number that he had long ago memorized.
Alex looked the other way � already knowing what was coming for her
supercilious coworker.

Atemu,
on the other hand, snatched his shirt back from the other�s grasp and glared
deeply in the direction that the psychiatrist had gone, fists clenched in
anger. He had no need to go after the man now, Seto would handle the situation,
but still�it would be so satisfying.

But
at least this way he wouldn�t even need to get his hands dirty. Besides there
were other � more important matters to attend to

�Isono�I
need you to look into someone�s credibility, dig deep, find something
shady�yes, I�ll send his stats�And call Dr. Morganstein for me. He needs to
know about one of his doctors� rather absurd notions.�

Once
Seto was finished with the conversation he tucked the phone away in his coat
with a superior sniff. �He no longer has a job at this institution. It is null
and void from the instant I get my hands on Morganstein.�

�I
didn�t hear that.� Alex mumbled as she turned away, searching for Atemu�s distraught
form.

She
hadn�t even realized that sometime during the conversation Atemu had slipped
away to join Yugi as he huddled on the bed fearfully. Great! That idiot
colleague of hers just had to start an argument within the boy�s hearing range.
And they were making so much progress. She had really thought that he would be
able to leave the hospital within the next week if everything checked out okay.
Hopefully this wouldn�t cause another set back�

Yugi
watched fearfully as his beautiful, commanding master went toe to toe with the
large man in the white coat. He knew what the doctor wanted to do. He wanted to
take him away from his master. He had said it before, during their sessions.
But his master wouldn�t let that happen. His master would never let him go.

The
thought rang clear in his mind that this master was extremely possessive of
him. It showed through in everything that he did - everything he said. The way
the darker teen wouldn�t leave him alone for any more than a minute or two at a
time, the way he pushed for Yugi to make it through his grueling physical
therapy appointments.

�every
single move he made had a possessive ring to it. But there was also an
underlying gentleness as well.

And
for some odd reason, the very thought made Yugi�s heart skip a beat. For even
when they were alone, his master had never raised a threatening hand against
him. Never forced him to do anything. Never wanted something that he didn�t
want to give. The small teen fidgeted within the other�s protective embrace,
unsure of what to make of these entirely unusual feelings about this master.

In
all the times that he had been owned by his first master (and passed around to
all the guests who frequented The House),
he had never felt this way. And his second master, now that he remembered him -
well there was no lost love there. The man had tried to kill him. Wanted to
torture him to death.

But
these feelings for this master were wholly original to him. He could recall
some his old master�s guests and their little foibles, but none of them ever
laid claim to him as thoroughly as this new master did, with his piercing
scarlet eyes and his authoritative nature.

Unlike
the others who may have owned his body, this one was threatening to own his
soul�
