Chapter 7

                                    

                                          
"Yugi!"  Yugi's eyes flew open as Yami's narrowed, pulling back from another tantalizing kiss, cutting his gaze to the side, glaring at his brother.  Atem walked up, innocently, smiling.  Yugi blushed and stepped away.  Yami silently glared at Atem behind Yugi.
                          
"You forgot your Duel Monster cards."  Atem offered helpfully, handing the deck to Yugi.  "I wasn't sure if you would need that deck."
                          
"Oh!  Th...thanks!"  Yugi blushed, looking between the two.  "Um...c..can I ask you guys a question?"
                          
Yami smirked.  "You just did."
                          
Yugi blushed more as Atem smiled kindly at Yugi.  "What is it Yugi?"
                          
"A...are you guys brothe..."  About then, a cherry red motorcycle sped up.  The white haired rider looked at the two brothers, exchanging a glance with Yami.
                          
Yami grabbed Yugi.  "On the bike, now."  His voice left no room for argument as he put the helmet on Yugi, slinging him on the bike and crawling on.  "Atem, ride with Bakura."  Yami commanded.  Atem was so confused, he obeyed without a sound.
                          
Bakura grabbed him.  "On the back of the fucking bike."  Pulling Atem's arms around him, he revved the bike and sped off, Yami hot on his heels.  Yugi was confused, holding on, not sure of what was going on, but concerned that he left his grandfather's shop unlocked.
                          
*************
                          
The bikes sped through the evening forever it seemed, but, when Atem later looked at his watch, it was only forty three minutes.  Stopping in a small town, Bakura finally stopped the bike at a run down bar.  Atem pursed his lips.  "Yugi is underage."  
                          
Bakura rolled his eyes.  "You gotta be fuckin' kidding me.  Shut the fuck up."  Bakura growled, stomping into the bar.  Atem looked at Yami, who simply stared at Atem with serious eyes as he helped Yugi off.
                          
Yugi stood, concerned.  "I'm not going in there.  It's a bar.  I'm too young."
                          
Yami looked at Yugi.  "Please.  Come in with me.  Everything will be explained."
                          
Atem looked at Yami in warning.  Yami shook his head.  "Everything will be explained.  There is more going on than you know 'Tem.  C'mon."  Grabbing Yugi's hand, Yami tugged Yugi towards the entrance.  Yugi looked back at Atem in confusion.  Sighing, Atem followed.  This was not good.
                          
***************
                          
Bakura walked through the smoky bar that was half filled with patrons in various stages of drunkenness.  Yami followed, not noticing or caring, keeping Yugi's hand in his.  Yugi's eyes were huge and he unconsciously slid closer to Yami.  Atem looked unhappy, walking behind Yami and Yugi.  
                          
Bakura shared a look with the bartender, who looked remarkably like him, but with kind, chocolate eyes.  The bartender nodded at Bakura, flicking his eyes to the back.  Atem took note of that, filing it in the back of his mind.  Bakura walked on, opening a door and ushering the three tri colored haired men in.  Shutting the door, Bakura turned around.  "Shit just got real."
                          
"Fuck!"  Yami said, dropping Yugi's hand, pacing, running his hand through his hair.  Yugi looked on in confusion.  
                          
Atem's eyes were filled with worry covered in confusion.  "Bakura, what is going on?"
                          
Bakura turned.  "Zorc is planning to double cross you two fucking wankers, kill the shrimp, and take the Puzzle."
                          
Yugi's mouth fell open, the world getting woozy as darkness nibbled at the corners of his vision.  He saw Yami reach for him as the world went dark.
                          
*************
                          
"Fuck, Bakura...have some damn tact!"  Yami hissed, holding Yugi's unconscious form.
                          
Bakura shrugged, looking at Atem as Atem glared.  "What the hell?  Why would you say such a thing against our master?"  Atem growled, concerned for the young teen, some fear in his eyes.
                          
Yami looked at the small room.  There was a desk, a small dorm style refrigerator, and a couch, along with some shelves.  He carried Yugi over, sitting down and laying Yugi on the couch, Yugi's head in Yami's lap.  Yami grabbed a magazine and began fanning Yugi.  Looking up at Bakura, he raised an eyebrow.  Bakura shook his head, sighing.  "You're..."  
                          
Suddenly, Yugi mumbled,  moving.  Opening amethyst eyes, he saw Yami's face above him.  Blushing, he suddenly stiffened, remembering what was said.  "Yami, what's going on?"
                          
Yami swallowed, looking up at Bakura.  Bakura sighed, shrugging.  Atem glared.  "Someone answer my question!  You are putting us in more danger!"  Atem glared accusingly at Bakura.
                          
Bakura's anger flared, eyes sparking.  "Don't be a fucking idiot.  I wouldn't fucking risk either of you dumbasses.  This room is safe.  Ryou made sure of it."
                          
Yami looked down at Yugi.  Frowning, biting his lip, Yami let out a sigh.  "I...I don't know how you will take this, but..."  Looking up between his brother and Bakura, who nodded, Yami nodded slightly.  "I'm going to be honest."  Bakura went to brace by the door in case Yugi ran out.  Atem looked at the two of them like they were nuts.  "Atem and I are brothers.  Bakura, 'Tem and I are demons.  'Tem and I were cursed a long time ago to hell.  Zorc, master of the demons, told us if we could get the puzzle from you, we would get to live on the surface, but only one of us would.  So it was a competition between us to get the puzzle from you."
                          
Yugi's eyes got huge, then sad.  "Oh...that makes sense."  Sitting up, biting his lip, he nodded.  "Here.  You two can figure it out."  He pulled the puzzle off his neck, holding it out.  It makes sense.  Why would either of these guys be attracted to me?  I thought it was weird.  Now, I know that it is simply because they wanted their freedom.  I can't blame them.  And I can't blame that I was kinda liking both of them.  Guess I don't have to worry about which one I liked more.  I woulda probably did the same thing.
                          
Yami looked at the puzzle, then at Yugi.  Atem did as well, before sharing a look with Yami.  A silent conversation was had between the two brothers.  Yami nodded in determination, resolve in his gaze.  Atem smiled kindly, nodding his agreement at this unspoken discussion and decision.  Taking the puzzle, putting it back around Yugi's neck, Yami smiled kindly as Bakura flipped his hands in the air.  Yugi looked up, eyes huge.  Yami smiled.  "We're not taking the puzzle.  We're going to protect you.  And then we are going back to hell."
