My Little One

Karim's Problem With Yugi.

Flashback

5-year-old Yugi was running to Kamii's house when he bumped into a guard, who started yelling at him. His black hair that reached his neck swung as the guard yelled his rage at him. Yugi was trying to apologize when a priest he knew that was from the palace came over and turned to Yugi, who tried to run now. The priest, Karim, had stopped Yugi from running and Yugi had managed to fight to get away, leaving the priest with both of his wrists broken and his kneecap shattered while his normally tan skin was covered in bruises and scars.

Yugi looks away from Yami and Heba frowns. Yami sighs, not happy with not being told the truth about Karim and Atem rushes in, just as Heba scowls and stops himself attacking Yugi to get the truth from him. 

"Father wants you, Yami. Seems something's wrong. No slaves allowed to know." Atem admits and Yami leaves Heba with Yugi and Atem. Yugi cautiously looks at Heba, who's annoyed and concerned, but not attacking. "I have to go and see what's wrong with Yami, Yugi, make sure that other slave doesn't steal anything," Atem admits and Yugi nods. 

"I wouldn't steal anything from here anyway, Prince." Heba tells him and Atem frowns but leaves. "What happened?" Heba demands from Yugi before slamming his brother into the wall and Yugi claws at his hand around his throat. 

"N-Nothing!" Yugi begs and Heba scowls before he's pulled off by Atem and Yugi's dropped. "Nothing of your concern happened, Heba," Yugi admits and Atem restrains Heba. "Atem, he won't do it again if I don't wind him up," Yugi admits as Heba is let go and Yugi rubs his neck. "I don't think you've changed, Heba. Not since we were kids." Yugi admits and Heba smiles before Yugi turns to Atem, who's utterly confused. 

"Please don't tell Prince Yami we know each other...or Karim," Heba begs and Yugi turns to him. "Yugi if you touch me you will find yourself in an early tomb," Heba warns and Yugi smiles, then walks behind Heba and Heba spins to him before Yugi hugs him. 

"Still an early tomb?" Yugi teases as Heba hugs him back. "Or can you not bring yourself to kill me?" Yugi asks and Heba smiles. 

"No, Mother would kill me if she were here," Heba admits and Yugi sighs. "What?" He asks and Yugi looks away. 

"Don't talk about mother," Yugi advises before turning to Atem. "Sorry about him." Yugi apologizes and Heba looks down. "We're brothers, you see. Twin brothers so we often disagree on things, but we grew up differently." Yugi admits and Heba grips his arm from behind. 

"Yugi..." Heba starts but Yugi pulls away. 

Atem is facing Yugi, his back to the balcony as Heba stands near the bed. Someone is on the balcony and Atem starts talking about how Heba shouldn't hurt Yugi, but Yugi shoves him onto the bed as the figure on the balcony charges at Atem with a sword in hand. The sword enters Yugi's side as Heba tries to pull him towards him, but the sword still strikes pretty deep in Yugi's side. Atem stares as Yugi clings to Heba before guards swarm in thanks to Yugi's cry of pain. Heba lifts his brother and Atem leads them to the healing chambers, where the palace priestess checks him over and Heba's worried.
