Title: Binding Circles
Part 10
Author: Shamise
~(*)~
“Let me go!” Kicking and screaming, Yuugi struggled violently in his captor’s grasp. Someone help!
Yuugi’s captor was a burly creature, heavily built from head to toe. The only unique feature Yuugi had been able to notice before he was snatched and spirited away to wherever he was now was the blue hair.
Oh, and that he had a fish’s tail.
He continued to fight as his hands were bound tightly behind his back and he was dragged into a sprawling city. He glared at the crowd who stared at him with the fascination akin to seeing some mutated animal. They passed they crowd rather quickly, his burly captor seemingly speeding to get where they were going.
“Let go of me!” Yuugi screeched. Fear tugged at his heart when they entered this massive building. He didn’t know what was going on, but he did know that these people with the fish’s tails were the ones in his vision. At one point in his desperation, Yuugi actually bit his captor. It tasted horrible, nothing like fish, and the burly creature didn’t even acknowledge what Yuugi did. He hadn’t even broken the skin!
He paid little attention to where he was being taken inside the building after the fourth turn. The halls all looked the same, tall and imposing and painted a pale golden color. His captor's grip was merciless, and it took all of his focus in resisting.
Suddenly, he was thrown through an open doorway, the ropes that had bound his wrists coming loose and falling off. He was lucky that he was underwater, or else he would have gone crashing into the opposite wall with how much force his captor had used. He quickly flung out his arms and kicked his legs to stabilize himself.
Without so much as a parting word or gloat, Yuugi's captor slammed the door shut in his face. He blinked stupidly at it for a moment before launching himself at the barrier and pounding on it with his fists, screaming "let me out!" and "you can't keep me here!" The action only won him some bruising on his hands.
Quietly, Yuugi backed away from the locked door. His hands twitched in the aftershock of contact with the stone door. Wide eyes searched the room desperately, seeing no window or air vent that could assist his escape.
A-atem? Yuugi's mind called desperately as his body started to shake. Atem, where are you? Weren't they always supposed to be together? Wasn't that what the Kroshi meant? He looked down to see the golden bracelet around his wrist. Its normally golden sheen was dull and it just looked like any regular piece of jewelry. He raised a shaky hand to rub a thumb over the engraved lettering. He knew what it read, what the entire thing meant, and despite his reluctance to accept the entire bonded thing he couldn't imagine not ever feeling it again.
He huddled in a corner, hiding his face in his knees. He didn't know what to do. Everything was just so messed up! He had just gotten used to being around Atem and now all of the sudden these fish-people kidnapped him! He just wanted to be safe again, to see those red eyes watch him with concern and affection.
Atem!
~(*)~
Yuugi glared, long and hard at the fish-people who next entered his prison. The despair and fear that had clouded his thoughts earlier were buried deep underneath suppressed anger and fury of all that has happened to him.
Anger was so much easier to deal with than fear.
He floated close to the bed, resting his heels against the sturdy support and using it to keep him stable. His body was coiled, ready for action, and his head was as clear as it could be. Somehow, deep in his heart, he knew that these specific fish-people couldn't be trusted.
There were five newcomers, each dressed in extravagant robes of purple and gray. Detailed necklaces that looked like giant spider webs with a diamond center hung around the outside of their cloaks. Variating colors decorated their tails, mostly in two-tones unlike his earlier captor's solid green tail.
He glared harder when they started to talk to one another in hushed tones, speaking in a language that he couldn’t understand. It sounded something like what Atem had first spoken to him with, and he could only recognize a few words. He knew that they were talking about him, but that was it.
"What do you want with me?" Yuugi demanded. He was determined not to appear weak or afraid to these people, not when he didn't know what they would do. Perhaps Atem had been rubbing off on him more than he thought. He never would have reacted like this back on land.
The cloaked fish-people merely spared a glance at him before continuing their discussion, completely ignoring his presence. Yuugi huffed indignantly. It figures that these people were just as stuck-up as they looked. Perhaps he could take advantage of their preoccupied state.
Offering up a silent prayer, Yuugi launched himself into the open, using the bed as a springboard. He sailed over their head, just barely clearing the doorway and grabbed it to pull him completely out of the room. His heart pounded with adrenaline and he tried to race for the ceiling and swim away, this could be his only chance!
A chilly hand suddenly closed around his ankle, yanking him harshly back down. Yuugi screeched, kicking out with his free leg and felt satisfaction when it hit something solid. The hand let go with a yelp, and Yuugi tried to swim away. It took about a second before another hand grabbed his ankle, except this time when he kicked; the other leg was grabbed too.
He screeched and fought as the cloaked people restrained him. A cold finger ran along the length of his arm and instantly it quit working. Magic. Yuugi's mind hissed in distress as the other arm was rendered useless too.
Tears of frustration leaked through his eyes as a hand grabbed the back of his neck and a shoulder, controlling his now useless upper body. The cloaked fish-people spoke harsh words to him and began to drag him out into the hallway. He hissed back, spitting curse words that he normally wouldn't use back at them. The fact that they couldn't understand him anyway didn't deter him at all.
"What do you want from me?!" He demanded when they entered a rather large room. Other fish-people, each one wearing a different colored sash around their waist, floated at attention around the circumference of the room. They all held wicked looking spears, a sight that Yuugi wished he hadn't seen before.
The cloaked fish-person spoke to him in condescending tones, making Yuugi feel as if he was being mocked. He tried not to cringe under the cold tone, and white eyes glared at him from beneath the hood.
He was suddenly thrown upon a stone table, his arms being bound inside of a pair of manacles that were attached to the table, yet his feet were left free. He kicked, trying desperately to hit something, anything. The cloaked fish-people only drifted out of range of his flailing limbs and turned their backs to him. Yuugi spat and hissed with all the ferocity of a drenched cat and they still continued to ignore him.
That doesn't sound good. Yuugi thought as the cloaked fish-person in charge, the one with a purple-orange tail, addressed the crowd. It sounded like the beginning of a rally speech, one that would end in a mob of fanatics. He flinched nervously when another cloaked fish-person approached him with a really ornate looking set of hedge-clippers. The symbols on them began to glow as the holder reached for Yuugi's bracelet and attempted to cut it. Yuugi's heart stuttered when the sharp edges of the magic hedge-clippers suddenly clamped down onto the bracelet.
Yuugi was blinded when the bracelet suddenly light up like a one hundred watt bulb. Someone screeched as the light pulsed, reaching out as if trying to get someone's attention. Yuugi suddenly felt that little place in his heart he had discovered earlier that day reach out with the light and connect with something. He had a sudden sense of Atem surrounding him, full of fear, concern, anger and blind fury.
A sudden smack on his forehead caused this connection to shatter, leaving Yuugi to scream in his loss.
No! I want Atem! Where is Atem?!
He looked up to glare at the item that was hovering above his forehead, the obvious cause of his shattered connection. It was a strange looking stone, with so many veins of blue, green and purple that he didn't know what the original color was. Yuugi's eyes passed from the necklace to the person holding the necklace. The cloaked fish-person's heterochromic eyes gleamed a pale shade of red as he looked intently at Yuugi.
“Kieal!”
A chant was suddenly started, the monotones echoing ominously inside Yuugi’s head. Yuugi’s eyes widened as a sickly green stream of something emerged from each of the cloaked fish-people’s chest, an identical looking stone set into the center of the ornate necklaces. His nerves twitched in alarm as that green smoke circled around him like a bird of prey.
“Kieal un Nocirk!”
Needles stabbed Yuugi’s skin wherever the green smoke touched, forcing his body into convulsions. The pain! Yuugi had never felt such pain before! His voice screeched to the heavens as he pleaded for the pain to stop, and tears carved hot trails on his cheeks. His body arched high off of the stone tablet, a futile attempt to get away from the pain.
“No!” He screamed as the green smoke trailed along his body, aiming for his legs. “Stop it!” There was no answer to his plea, not so much as a sympathetic wince.
The needles had turned into swords as they carved up his body. He kicked his legs violently as the green smoke surrounded them. Yuugi’s eyes watched in terror as it sunk low onto his skin, pulling at the insides of his thighs and calves and tearing up his swimming trunks in the process. He watched as his skin was literately pulled apart then sewn together at the center, combining his two legs into one appendage.
He blindly flung his head back and forth to try and get rid of the pain tearing up his body. Each time his skull came in contact with the stone, darkness flashed in his vision. His struggles however could not prevent him from seeing as scales grew out of his once tan skin. His feet fell apart and mended together to form something that was akin to a fin. Lances of pain struck out on both sides of his hips, as if something was being forced out.
“Kieal!”
“Atem!” Yuugi screamed aloud. Atem, where are you! Save me! His bracelet came to life as if to combat the green smoke, yet it was surrounded instantly. Yuugi felt an unbearably intense pain, such a strong pain that it made everything that had happened prior feel like a paper cut, electrified his bracelet bearing arm. The golden metal, something Yuugi had though to be unbreakable, suddenly shattered. The fragments encased themselves in Yuugi’s arm, creating a patchwork of scars that barely testified to the pain his heart was going through.
A…tem…Darkness crept into Yuugi mind like a predator striking a wounded animal for the kill and Yuugi fell into its black depths, the pain of loss and a whisper of condemnation following to torment him in his nightmares.
