Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Lover's Duel ❯ My Savior ( Chapter 7 )

My Savior

In the morning Yugi and Yami soaked in the bath together, just enjoying each other's presence, and Yugi ended up falling asleep on the other's toned chest.

After the dark king got out of the water, when it started to get cold and Yugi began to shake in his sleep, Yami put him to bed and covered him up tightly to keep him warm. He placed a small kiss on the boy's forehead before leaving the room, quietly closing the door behind him to not wake the little one.

He left in search of Kyra and found her in her chambers talking with Malik and Bakura and how perfect their plan went.

The two men turned around and smirked.

"Tire with your toy already do you?" Malik joked and Yami just glared at him.

"I guess I neither of us win the bet then. I thought we'd at least not see until the end of the week at least, but it's better than your guess, hey Malik?"

"Shut up."

"That's not a bad idea." Yami grumbled at the two jokesters.

"So how'd it go?"

"I betcha anything Yugi's still asleep that they had so much fun." Bakura teased.

Yami turned red and looked away. Malik and Bakura burst into fits of laughter and Kyra just smiled for a minute before she too broke down into a bit of laughter with the two. Hearing the giggles and laughter, Yami finally let up and laughed with them, knowing his friends didn't mean any harm.

Yami froze and looked at the door curiously. "Did you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" Kyra asked as the other three also straightened up, hearing the serious tone in the Pharaoh's voice.

"It sounded like somebody yelling. Almost like they were in pain. Didn't you hear it?"

"You worry too much you know that. Probably one of the servants messed up and was caught by a guard." Malik suggested.

"Probably." Yami agreed reluctantly.

Before the three could continue talking another call with crying following was heard and by all three this time and much louder than the first.

"That's it. Guards know better than to treat the servants like that. I'm going to go check." Yami exclaimed annoyed, the other three nodded and followed him quickly down the halls.

They followed the crying quickly and when they found the source coming down from the hall that led to Yami's room the Pharaoh panicked and rushed ahead of his three friends.

`Yugi, don't worry I'm coming for you.'

He found the door open and he rushed in to find Yugi crunched into a corner with the High Priest, Seto, towering over him angrily. Tears were streaming down red eyes and flushed cheeks from the boy huddled scared by the wall.

As Yugi continued to cry Seto growled and slapped Yugi across his face, so hard it cut the boy's cheek and a small line of blood streaked down and started dripping from it as Seto told the pleasure slave to shut up in a threatening and dangerous tone.

By then Malik, Bakura, and Kyra now rushed in and Kyra gasped loudly since she had first come in as Seto hit Yugi across the face and the cut bled.

Seto turned around at the noise as Yugi continued to cry and curled himself up without even knowing the four were in the room.

Yami was completely in rage at having witnessed such things come from someone he though he could trust and here he is hurting Yugi and making the boy cry.

"Seto, as Pharaoh I order you to leave and never return." Yami ordered angrily through clenched teeth so he wouldn't startle the boy on the floor. "Your position as High Priest is no longer yours."

Seto was pissed at the order but left anyway, but not before turning and glaring at the terrified boy like he ruined his plans. "Just you wait, slave. I will get you to be mine." He whispered before he left.

Kyra, Malik and Bakura immediately rushed to Yugi's side and tried to hold him while Yami tried to calm down. Yugi flinched and pushed them away the best he could as he cried to get away from the arms wrapped around him.

"Get away! Don't touch me!" He cried.

"Yugi, it's us. You have to calm down." Malik tried to calm him.

"Please Yugi, calm down." Kyra pleaded.

"Listen to us, Yugi." Bakura tried as well, but the boy continued to push the others as he tried to get away.

The three didn't know what to do but as Yami kneeled beside them they backed away and let Yugi go.

Before the boy could get too far though Yami grabbed his wrists and held him there gently, so he wouldn't hurt Yugi further. After a minute Yami moved in and held Yugi to his chest tightly as the boy continued to struggle against him. It barely lasted though when Yugi relaxed into the touch that was so familiar to him.

Yami smiled slightly before he nodded to his friends to leave. The three stood and left, Bakura closing the door after them, nodding an apology towards Yugi before disappearing.

At the sounds of the door closing Yugi then burst into more tears as he struggled to get close to Yami.

"Don't let him get me, Yami, please." The boy pleaded quietly, mumbling into Yami's chest. "I don't him to come back, Yami, don't let him come back."

Yami could only hold him as close as he could until the shaking and sobs subsided.

He sat on the bed and Yugi lay next to him with his in Yami's lap. Yami petted his and whispered soothing words to calm the boy further.

Once he did calm down, Yami carefully moved Yugi and stood, and walked slowly from the boy without turning his back on him, disappearing into to cleaning room. He came back a second later with a piece of wet cloth and wiped away the dried blood and Yugi's cheek carefully.

The Pharaoh pulled the boy up so Yugi was sat in his lap and he gave him a comforting hug.

"Can you tell me what happened, Yugi? Please?" He asked quietly.

Yugi nodded and took a deep, shaky breath before he started.

"When I woke up I didn't see you anywhere so I went to go find you, but before I could off the bed Seto's hand clamped over my mouth and held me against him." Yugi explained as he rested his head on Yami's shoulder and wrapped his arms around him. Yami nodded for him to continue and Yugi took another breath. "I tried to get away from him, though, because I knew that the person was too tall to be you and I knew you wouldn't be that rough since I didn't know it was Seto right then. I bit his hand and Seto threw me in to the corner of the room and that's when I first yelled out for you." Yami felt a twang of guilt and pain in his heart when Yugi said this, knowing he had ignored the call for help thinking it was nothing more but a palace servant. "That's when Seto hit me across the face the first time." More tears rolled down Yugi's soar cheek and Yami began rocking him back and for the to calm him down again. "He yelled at me too. He told me not to yell, but I knew you'd be angry with me if I let Seto do it."

Yami stopped him. "I would never be angry with you, Yugi. Not as long as you tried to get away." He reassured the boy.

Yugi nodded thankfully and gave him a watery smile and a hug. He continued a moment later after he took another quick breath so he wouldn't start crying again. "Then he held my arms so I wouldn't hit him to get him to go away and he bit my lip to get my mouth open. When he pulled I yelled for you again…" Reluctantly, Yugi admitted, and let his fear show, as he added he thought you would be angry with him and more tears slid silently down his face.

Yami put his hand on Yugi's uninjured cheek and shook his head to show he wasn't angry with him. The Pharaoh knew that Yugi was easy to hurt, he learned that well too from unwanted self-experience the month before, and didn't blame Yugi in the least for crying. He wouldn't be saying it anytime soon, but he probably would've cried to if he had been in Yugi's position.

Yugi leaned into the hand and sighed happily, continuing the rest like that. "Then Seto pulled my hair and told me to shut up again or there wouldn't be a Pharaoh to come save me when I needed it anymore. He let go just before you and the others came in and stopped him."

Yami turned his head to look out the window so Yugi wouldn't see the anger that glowed in his crimson eyes. He was outraged with Seto, as he knew exactly what the priest had in mind. He figured it out when Yugi had first mentioned Seto trying to kiss him. He knew something a lot worse would've happened if he hadn't there when he did.

"I was really scared, Yami. I thought you might not have heard me and you'd be mad when you found out. I thought Seto was going to hurt you and I'd never see you again." Yugi mumbled as he began to nuzzle Yami's neck for reassurance he was really there and he wasn't going to wake up and relive the living nightmare he just went through.

To show he wasn't upset with Yugi for anything that happened, Yami expose more of his neck and let the little light do as he pleased for the time being. That and he was thoroughly enjoying what the younger was doing as he felt the warm lips kissing him.

It was hard getting Yugi to sleep peacefully that night and he kept waking up from nightmares about Seto coming back for him like he promised or going after Yami and everyone else he cared for in the palace.

Yami comforted him without restraint or hesitation every time Yugi woke up.

"I promise I'll be here every time you wake up, little Yugi." Yami told him about the third time the boy woke up. After finally hearing it through his tears, Yugi finally got to sleep.

Yami couldn't though. He wouldn't admit it but he was angry and scared even though Seto hadn't done that to the boy and actually got to that point with him, that it still pained and imprinted itself in Yugi.

The next morning Yami felt terrible from not getting any sleep and almost immediately went to dreamland once Yugi woke up and thanked him for being there and telling him he felt much better.

Just to make sure Yugi would be fine while he slept Yami kissed him on the cheek and added, "Stay in the room today, Yugi, unless Malik, Bakura, or Kyra, and only them, come and get you, but I want you to have them leave a note to make sure."

Yugi was touched with the king's concern for his well being and gave him a small kiss before he nodded and smiled lovingly at him as the king closed his eyes and easily went to sleep.

Yugi felt bad for doing this to Yami and wished that he wasn't such a baby and went crawling to Yami every time something bad happened to him and if Yami wasn't there he'd cry. He felt so selfish.

Unfortunately, he said this out loud and was grabbed roughly from behind and pulled from the bed.

Yugi struggled and tried to get Yami to turn around and open his eyes. He heard the same voice from yesterday slither to his ears and echo in his head like a snake as his eyes widened at the meaning behind the words said.

"You don't have to be a baby once you become a man and have some special discipline."

Yugi could just feel the smile playing at the man's lips.
