My Little One

Father

As soon as Yugi and Heba had gotten onto the horse, Yugi had clung tightly to Heba's rich clothing. Yugi and Heba were dressed richly and had been sent on their way. Atem and Yami had reluctantly agreed to send no guards so long as they returned in 7 days. 

When the two boys got off their horse, they were seized roughly by guards. Heba and Yugi had looked down, not fighting just yet. They were well-known by most guards, but seemingly not these. They debated whether or not to teach them a lesson about manhandling Helacleion's princes. 

"Halt!" A firm voice shouted loudly at the guards, making the boys tense a little. "Release those boys. They are my sons!" The voice shouted once more and the guards dropped them, making them look up. 

Before them now stood a man of over 6-feet in height, yet looked like he hardly weighed anything. He had short brown hair and an intimidating aura. He beckoned the guards to help us in and they lead us into the palace. The man wore an expensive headdress that looks like Aknankanon's upon his head. 

"Take the paler one to the special room." The man ordered and the guard holding Yugi forced him away, causing Heba to be restrained as Yugi tries to fight, but fails against the guard who is readily prepared for his attacks. "Heba, my son. Let's talk." He adds and Heba makes a firm face and nods. 

Yugi is forced into a cell that he knows too well. He has his wrists and legs shackled as well as a neck shackle that the man can open. The man is Yugi and Heba's biological father. They had the power of Slifer but were not his sons. Yugi hid his head in his knees as his father came in, followed by a shaking Heba. Heba was sat in the corner and shackled by his wrists to the wall while Yugi was pulled up by his neck chain and he stared his father straight in the eye, before slumping down.  

The man drew a blade and slashed Yugi's arms and face with it. He turned to Heba, asking if he enjoyed seeing his baby brother in pain. He then stabbed Yugi through the stomach and Yugi gasped sharply. He pulled it out and Heba cried to his brother to stay strong before Yugi was knocked unconscious. 

When Yugi's amethyst eyes opened he saw the damage done to himself. There were cuts covering his body and he wore no clothes anymore. He curled into a ball and held himself, weeping. This went on for 5 days before he was finally released and he wore a mere robe made of dark cotton while Heba wore linen robes that their father, Seto, had passed to him. When they arrived back, Atem and Yami were in the midst of a meeting. Heba pulled Yugi to Atem's room and sat with him, trying to help him recover. 

Heba had to watch Seto poke, prod, cut and penetrate Yugi and he knew Yugi felt all the pain and was scared. Seto had never gone that far before. They heard Atem and Yami come into the main room and were thankful the door was shut. Yugi curled into a ball and silently cried into his knees, causing Heba to hug him. 

"Isn't this Heba's bag?" Yami asked and Heba mentally slapped himself. "Maybe they're back." Yami suggested and Heba lied Yugi down. "Let's check." Yami spoke clearly as Heba opened the door, shocking him as he closed it behind him. 

"We got back during your meeting, Prince Yami, Prince Atem." Heba told them as Atem frowned. "I'm afraid we won't be able to do our duty for a few days. Yugi is only allowed to see me. Prince Atem, I'm afraid that if you hug or touch him, he may lash out for a few days." Heba explained and Atem took a step forward. "We are the princes of Heracleion." Heba informs them and then bows before slipping into the room again, where Atem silently follows. 

Yugi hugs Heba and Heba gently sings a lullaby in egyptian that soothes him.
