Heba placed the last of his folded clothes into his bag as Atem walked in and Heba turned to face him. Atem was confused as Heba wrapped a cloak around himself as Yugi slept and stepped out of the slave room. 

"Prince. I need you to look after Yugi whilst I go and settle my father's kingdom." Heba told him and Atem nodded. "He's asleep at the moment. There's a letter in there that explains it to him." Heba admits and then weakly smiles. "I have to leave," Heba tells him and he nods, then lets him out. 

The following morning, Atem wakes up to hear Yugi coming out of the slave room. He sits up and looks over to see Yugi standing there, tears coming down his face. 

"What's wrong, Yugi?" Atem asks, patting the bed softly. "Come and sit up here." He tells Yugi, who slowly climbs onto Atem's bed. 

"H-Heba's gone..." He whispers and Atem nods, then rests against the small head of the bed. "What will I be doing?" He asks and Atem sighs then turns to him. 

"I will be looking after you." He admits and Yugi nods. "So you'll be getting Isis to look at your injuries." He tells Yugi, who tenses. "It's okay, Isis will be gentle." He promises and Yugi moves a little closer. 

Atem and Yugi get dressed just as the door knocks and Atem lets Isis in. Yugi sits on Atem's bed and looks down as Isis comes over. Atem sits down and Isis tells Yugi to remove his robes as she needs to see his injuries. Yugi tenses and Atem passes him a shendyt and a short linen top to him. Yugi disappears into the bathroom and re-emerges a moment later in the clothes. He places the robe on the bed and lets Isis see to his multiple bruises and deep wounds. 

When Isis leaves, Yugi is bandaged around his torso and is curled into a ball, trying to hide again. Atem shuts the door and sits with Yugi, who clings to him and Atem gently rocks him. 

"A-Atem..." Yugi whispers shakily and Atem looks at him. "S-Seto...raped me..." Yugi whimpered and Atem quickly pulled Yugi into a hug. "I-I'm sorry...I couldn't stop him..." Yugi wept and Atem held him close. 

"You do not need to apologize, love," Atem tells him and Yugi looks up, still crying. 

"B-But...he..." Yugi started and Atem gently kissed him, causing him to kiss back. "Y-You don't think I'm dirty?" Yugi asked sadly and Atem shakes his head. 

"Of course not, love," Atem admits, gently kissing Yugi's forehead. "Heba left last night. He didn't say where he was going." Atem admits and Yugi moves away from Atem a little. 

"Probably gone to see Seto." Yugi states and Atem nods sadly. "Can I cuddle?" Yugi asks nervously and Atem nods, letting Yugi cuddle into him. 

After the moon rises in the sky, Yugi falls asleep, cuddled to Atem. They'd been forced to go to meetings all day and Yugi was exhausted. Atem lifted him and took him into his room and laid him under the covers, fearing he would be afraid if he woke up beside Atem in the morning. Atem got ready for bed, thinking of what the next few days would bring.
