Malik groaned lightly answering the phone, while Yami explained what exactly had happened. He didn't get a real good look at the man, but he had caught glances.

"He followed us from the apartments, all the way through the park and into the ice-cream store...When I mentioned to Yugi we should head home, he was a little reluctant...but we started back. It was where you found me that the guy grabbed me from behind and knocked me out..." Yami mumbled rubbing the sore area of his head gingerly.

Malik frowned and hung up. "Ryou...uh...you've got work..." he mumbled, giving him a small slip of paper he had written the address on. "Otogi said to hurry your smart-ass up..." he added, impersonating Otogi's voice and wrinkling his nose.

Ryou rolled his eyes "I had every right to be a smart-ass, by the way." he said grabbing his coat as Marik kissed him gently. He was hoping that he would understand why he had to go and not be too jealous or anything. "I'll be home soon, and I'll call as soon as I can" He said as he headed out to door and toward the man's house.

He knocked softly on the door awaiting an answer as he looked around. He was suddenly grabbed violently and dragged into the house.

"Hey!" Ryou yelled as he was drug into the house and then shoved down a staircase. It was dark and the door was closed almost as instantly as he went through it. He sat up groaning "What the hell was all that about?" He asked confused as he held his arm considering he landed on it unsettling.

Yugi shook his head in horror. his father had gone through with it. "G-gomen Ryou!" he said getting up painfully from where he had laid down and helping Ryou to some cushions. "I...I'm really, really sorry..." he said shaking his head and sniffling. He sat down wincing slightly, and sniffling. "I...I don't know...how to e-explain..." he whimpered.

"Y-Yugi!" Ryou said embracing him despite the sting in his arm. "Don't be sorry, I'm okay really...where are we?" He asked looking around it looked like a studio of some sort.

Yugi cringed. "I...I was hoping you wouldn't ask..." he sniffled still trembling slightly. "I...Well..." he said softly. "Is Malik ok?" he blurted as a natural aversion to answering the question and explaining the situation.

"Is Malik ok?" Ryou asked confused "I'm afraid we have a little more desperate matter on are hands Yugi...do you know where we are?" Ryou asked he might not know.

Yugi sighed hugging himself. "Th-this...is...w-well it's just like...where I used to live...." he sniffled shaking his head. "Th-the carpet...th-the stairs...all of it..." he muttered a couple of tears sliding down his cheeks. "I don't know...where this place is...but...I know what this place is like...and I want to go back to the apartment....I want out...I don't like it here!" he said choking back a sob. "It's too much like....t-too much like..." Yugi cringed and looked at the floor. "It's too much like h-home..."

"Home...where you and your parent's used to live." Ryou asked softly noticing how flustered and upset Yugi was getting.

Yugi nodded shakily. "Yes...just like it...d-down to the color of the carpet...." he mumbled hugging his knees to his chest. "I want to leave...I want out...I don't like it here..." he whimpered and began rocking slightly, glad that was all he had to explain. Yugi really dreaded any further actions from his father, he didn't even want to THINK about that...

"But...but your parent's are dead and even if they weren't what does it matter if the basement looks the same...why does the basement look like this? It looks like a studio or something...why?" Ryou asked not understanding any of this.

Yugi bit his lip. "Th-this was where I lived at home...bad things happened in the basement...bad, bad things...." he whimpered shaking his head. "Please don't ask...please...I don't like to think about it..." he mumbled pathetically.

Ryou nodded his head silently at Yugi's request hugging him softly. He reached into his pocket looking at his broken cell phone, it must've broken on the way down. He sighed heavily. "Was that your dad? He's not dead is he? All your nightmares are about your home life aren't they?" Ryou asked softly.

Yugi shuddered at the words. "Y-yes...that was him...that's my...father..." he mumbled brokenly. "H-he's not supposed to see me...he's supposed to be in prison! Dead! Anything but near me..." he sobbed softly. "And now he's got you...I'm so sorry Ryou...I'm SO sorry..."

"It's okay Yugi...we'll be all right I promise, if I can get away from my dad you can certainly get away from yours too." Ryou said lifting his chin and wiping away his tears.

Yugi's father smiled, 'this one obviously has a dad...likes to keep him under control as well as it seems.' he thought silently as he went back upstairs without being noticed. "Now how to find this father of his is a bit of a puzzlement." He said aloud as he tried to think of a way to get in contact with Ryou's father.

Yugi got up, after a while, and wandered back over to the stairs and slowly crawled back up, putting his ear to the door. It was unusually quiet recently...and he was uneasy about quiet. ESPECIALLY since his father was involved. "I don't like it..." he sniffled trying to hear if his father was doing anything...or perhaps if he'd fallen asleep. If he fell asleep, Ryou and himself might be able to pick the lock...or knock the door down and get away.

"Don't like what?" Ryou asked as he followed Yugi upstairs and sat next to him. He tried to open the door but the handle was locked so tight that the handle wouldn't even giggle. Yugi asked him if they could bust it down but Ryou shook his head.

"If it was that easy Yugi we would be out of here by now and my arm is hurt and I don't fancy hurting my other one either." Ryou said sighing slightly.

"It's so quiet...I don't like It.." Yugi said, pressing his ear to the door again. "Quiet is bad...e-every time father was quiet before...he was doing something that would make me miserable...and now he might do the same to you..." he explained softly, gaining a little confidence in telling Ryou about his family life, since Ryou didn't appear to hate him for it...or even view him differently. "Quiet was never good..." he said shaking his head. "I'd rather have him screaming at me...than have him quiet..."

"Sound's like my dad..." Ryou said swallowing a bit nervous himself. "Is there any way out besides this door?" Ryou asked softly.

Yugi shook his head. "When it was my old place...there was another way out...but when I found it and got out...it was sealed up pretty quick. Since this place is totally different and just made to look like the old basement...I doubt there's a single inch of space that father hasn't ran a fine toothed comb over..." he sighed. "If you have anymore questions...now would be the time..." he mumbled leaning his head on the door and sighing again in misery.

"Why us? Doesn't he know he could in trouble if he's caught near you? And not that I'm being selfish or anything but why toss me into the mix?" He asked softly.

Yugi sighed. "I begged him not to...I screamed and yelled and beat the door while he was on the phone with Otogi...but I guess Otogi didn't hear me..." he said shaking his head. "He's doing this because I'm his son...in a way...in his mind he owns me...and...well...it just goes from there I guess...he'll probably just use you to get to me...or just get a sadistic humor of doing something cruel to you...it'd be nothing much though...nothing like he did...will do to me..."

"I won't let him Yugi, no one deserves that kind of life, especially not you." Ryou said taking his hand strongly and leading him back downstairs "We'll search this entire place until we find a way out." Ryou said as they began to look around.

Yugi's father was looking through the phone book in a booth, he had managed to find Ryou's last name and was now in the process of calling people who might have a missing son...soon enough he would be able to control Ryou and Yugi.

Yugi sighed as he shook his head, now reassured there was no exit. "This is awful...I wish you weren't involved..." he said defeated. "The only reason I got out of it last time, is because when grandfather visited...he found...something...and that was a fluke!"

"Fluke or no fluke you got out, your grandfather saved you so this time work to save yourself, and I refuse to let this man use me to get to you!" He said angrily that Yugi was so quick to give up, not angry with Yugi in particular but angry in general at the situation. He heard someone open the door as he sat back down awaiting what Yugi's father ah din store for them before he made any move

Yugi bit his lip and shook his head, still having a tough time handling the memories, although he was able to talk about them...each step down the stairs his father took sent him further and further back...it hurt. He once again found himself scooting back wanting to hide behind something...anything...but just like the old basement, there was nothing to hide behind.

Ryou felt Yugi clutch onto him and curl up as if turning Ryou into a shield. He didn't blame Yugi at all he would do the same probably if he was put through something like that. Ryou closed his eyes, noticed the patter of footsteps, and realized there were two people descending the stairs. When he looked up to see who was with him he was prepared for just about anyone but, even his own father but Eric was with him for some reason.

"Your dad was busy Ryou...I thought I'd help this gentlemen with you in his absence." He said sadistically.

Yugi cringed and shook his head. "F-father please...leave Ryou alone!" he said hugging Ryou tightly. "Please! He's not even involved in this..." he pleaded. "Please! Leave him alone!" Yugi said fresh tears welling up in his eyes. "Please...I'll do anything you want...he's hurt...leave him alone!" he begged, hoping he'd be able to reach the human side of his father...or at least tickle the business side into leaving Ryou alone. "Ryou...I'm so sorry...I...I don't want you to...to be hurt anymore..." he whispered sniffling.

Ryou bit his lower lip inching away form Eric, he was worse than his father was consider Eric had no qualms about raping him it was understandable that he would fear him more than any other. His father was probably out on another dig already and Eric had probably stopped by when Yugi's father had come by. He looked at Yugi and between the two men, he felt horrible this wasn't fair he wanted to protect Yugi not make it easier for his father to exploit him. He stood up looking at both Eric and Yugi's father with malice.

"If you think you can use me to get what you want out of Yugi your both sadly mistaken, I wouldn't allow it!" He yelled at both of them bringing shocked expression out of Yugi.

Yugi shook his head. "Ryou please! Don't make it a challenge...Father would like nothing more than upping the ante. Please...just let me protect YOU for a change...I'm begging you..." he said softly. "Ryou...don't do this..." Yugi added, throwing in the puppy eyes. He knew just how much his father enjoyed making people miserable, because he didn't agree with any of what happened at first...and his father took him through seven hells before he finally gave up and just cried through it.

Ryou was about to talk back but was grabbed roughly by Eric and pressed against the nearby wall.

"You two need to quit ignoring us, were right here for Christ sake." He said as he and Yugi's father began to bound Ryou's hands and feet together. letting him drop to the floor carelessly. Eric went over to the small cabinet in the corner taking out a leather strap, "I personally want you to struggle Ryou, it allows me to hurt you more...we don't want Yugi's face or body bruised up but with you it's different, you won't be exploited like him, you are merely here for our own personal amusement and to help Yugi do his job better." Eric said Yugi's father having filled him in already. "If you resist too much we just might add you to the working world." Yugi's father added turning his attention back to Yugi.

"Your friend is very beautiful Yugi...pictures of you two together would be very nice to the paying public." He said sadistically already of thinking how he could position the two boys against one another. "Now behave for dad and do what you do best okay?" He asked making sure Yugi would do as he was told.

Yugi shook his head sniffling and looking to Ryou. "Please...don't do anything...j-just let them have what they want and they'll go away..." he said nodding to his father, signaling he'd do whatever he was told as long as Ryou wasn't hurt. "Please...don't make him watch..." he whispered sniffling to his father. "I promise not to misbehave...please..." he muttered. He hugged himself and sighed, shuddering at the memories that were suddenly so fresh in his mind...so fresh it was almost as if he hadn't ever gotten away at all.

Yugi's father obviously didn't care what the white-haired boy saw. "It doesn't matter to me or Eric if he sees it or not, you'll have to explain it to him later if not now anyway won't you?" He said pushing Yugi to the floor easily. "I shouldn't have to tell you what to do and until I know you'll be a very good boy I'll be taking the pictures so be thankful I won't be using you...but you understand solo pictures will bring in less money so the quicker you behave the less you'll have to worry about your friend being involved in all this." He looked at Ryou who was shooting him death glares. "You know what I want Yugi, don't play innocent." He said as Yugi took off his shirt knowing how his father liked to take pictures half nude, totally nude, vise versa he was a pro when it came to internet pornography unfortunately.

Yunikon16: Eric snickered, watched amused, as Yugi bit back tears so he wouldn't ruin the pictures, and began his age-old ritual of posing erotically.

"Heh, looks like he's more of a slutty teen than you are...eh Ryou?" he mused.

Yugi bit his lip and sniffled cringing with each camera click, and each more erotic and more degrading position that he'd been taught. It was to the point where his father could pick any random number between one and forty and Yugi would immediately know which pose he was referring to.

"You have no room to talk Eric!" Ryou spat back understanding completely everything Yugi had dreamt about and how he didn't ever want to speak about it he simply wanted to forget and Ryou didn't blame him.

"Very good Yugi..." His father said smoothly. "I'm glad you remember everything I taught you, remove the rest of your clothes and perform positions 8, 16, 27, and 10." Those poses were particularly hard to do and hold because of the position and Yugi's father knew this but they brought him the most money. "If you successfully do them we'll leave you alone for the night." He said as he watched Yugi reluctantly remove the rest of his clothes looking at his eyes notching the distress within them.

Ryou wanted to scream, this wasn't right! Yugi didn't deserve this kind of ill treatment it simply wasn't fair!

"Stop! Please stop, why are you doing this to him? What did he ever do to deserve this?" Ryou asked now wishing they had blindfolded him so he wouldn't have seen what was happening to one of his best friends.

Yunikon16: Yugi looked at Ryou sadly, but immediately looked away, not wanting to have eye contact...feeling worse than he'd felt in a long time. He cringed when he heard Eric lash Ryou sharply and whimpered.

"Shut up Ryou! Can't you see the boy has a job to do?" Eric laughed giving Ryou another harsh lash for good measure.

Yugi whimpered as the camera clicked and began getting into the next position, trembling and shaking slightly, wanting to cry. He kept his mouth closed, and clenched his eyes shut hoping he could just tune the world out. He wasn't back in the basement with his father...he was in the apartment...having a nightmare...he'd wake up and it would all go away. He'd wake up, and curl up in the arms of his friends and it would all be ok.

Ryou cringed when the whip lashed across the skin of his bare arms. He had worn a sleeveless shirt with black pants so the only flesh exposed was that of his arms and thankfully, Eric wouldn't hit him on the face.

Much to Yugi's father approval he executed the positions almost perfectly as he stood telling Yugi he could put his clothes back on as Yugi did so quickly. He looked back down at Ryou the red marks across his arms from where Eric had hit him showing up rather well against his alabaster skin. He took a few pictures of Ryou although he glared at him in contempt.

"Maybe my customers would like a little bondage, I think you'd be great in that field." He said coyly as he motioned Eric to follow him upstairs.

Yugi immediately ran over to Ryou, sobbing now, and began untying him "I'm so sorry...I'm so, so sorry..." he managed between sobs. "Please...don't hate me...don't hate me!" he added, sobbing more and finally getting Ryou loose. "Please...I'm sorry..." he said avoiding looking into Ryou's eyes. "Please....don't hate me..." he whispered, wiping his eyes with his sleeve and hiccupping slightly. "I...I didn't want them to hurt you...I didn't know you'd even be involved until he'd already made the call...I tried to be loud enough for Otogi to hear...I tried to break down the door..." he began rambling hugging himself. "You're my best friend Ryou...don't hate me please..."

Ryou shook his head at his friend hugging him despite the marks up and down his arms and ignoring them as they screamed in protest at the movement. "I don't hate you Yugi...I never could even if I tried." Ryou lifted Yugi's chin so the teen would know he was telling the truth. "I know you didn't want them to hurt me, and it wasn't your fault, I was hit because I have a big mouth was all...and even if Otogi did hear you I doubted he would have cared." Ryou said hoping to destroy all doubts Yugi had about it being his fault. "The other's will notice we are gone and they'll come to get us, they have this address so don't worry too much." Ryou added softly hoping they found him soon.

Yugi nodded softly and sniffled. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." he muttered, getting up and grabbing a few pillows and a couple of blankets and dragging them back to Ryou. "h-here...don't move...you were already hurt...and now it's worse.." he sniffled, giving Ryou a pillow and then laying another next to him and spreading the blankets over Ryou, before cuddling up on the other pillow, under the blankets as well. "we might as well sleep...he's not going to feed us until tomorrow...if he remembers..." Yugi mumbled shaking his head. "B-besides...you need your rest, so when I wake up bawling...you can console me..." he said softly. "It's going to happen tonight...no questions..."

Ryou smiled as he pulled Yugi close to him and held him as strongly as his arms would allow. "Cry all you want, I'm happy to console you anytime Yugi, I'm here for you as I always have been." He said softly as he and Yugi cuddled under the covers and gave into their dreams whether they are nightmares or not they needed rest.

Bakura growled slightly when still no phone call had been received and they had no luck finding this man who kidnapped Yugi. Yami wanted to help but he had a concussion so they made him stay home with one watching him at all times so he didn't try to run off when they weren't looking but finally they called it a night but were distressed when they didn't get a call and Malik forgot the address he usually never memorized them and Otogi never really recorded them unless they were regulars so they were at a loss for where Ryou and Yugi were.

MWAHAAH! Torture of the Yugi and Ryou HUZA! Anyway, I hope you like it so far!
