Blood Servant

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
Chapter 23 ~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Ryou ran down the corridors before he came to the harem
chambers. Ryou slowly pushed it open and saw that no one was in the first
chamber. Ryou slipped in and left the door open and he started going through
all the bedding. He knew the girls were in the next chamber. It was taking him
forever to find what he was after.

 Just as the girls
were ready for lunch, 2hours later, Ryou found what he was after and dashed out
the doors. Ryou sighed in relief but his relief was short lived when the King’s
personal guard found him running from the girl’s harem chambers with something
in his hand. He caught Ryou and snatched the letter from Ryou.

“Stealing are we now. Let’s go see the King than.”

Ryou sighed and allowed himself to
be dragged to the throne room. The guard pushed Ryou in and he fell to the
floor. The King was on his feet as Ryou was brought forward and forced to his
knees.

“My King I found this servant stealing.”

“What did he steal?”

“This.” The guard passed the paper to the King.

“Don’t worry; he completed the task I assigned him. You can
let him go.”

“My King I’m confused. He ran from your harems chamber with
that piece of paper.”

“I asked him to fetch something that should have given
straight to me. But was given to one of the harem who may
have caused Yugi to leave.”

“I apologise my King I didn’t know.”

“It’s alright.”

Atemu opened the envelope and started reading before his
eyes widened and he dropped the letter. Atemu quickly shook his head and picked
it up and scanned it again.

“Atemu what is wrong? Is it not the right letter?” Bakura
asked as he looked at Ryou whose eyes widened.

“Sort of. It’s from Yugi’s mother.”
Atemu looked to Bakura and Marik and sighed. “Both of you take care of the
council meeting. I’m going to see Yugi.”

“Do you know where it is my King?”

“I will find it.”

Atemu walked to the window and jumped out and flew off to
the human community. Bakura and Marik looked at each other and Ryou walked over
to Bakura and tugged on his arm. Bakura looked down at him.

“What is it?”

“Will Yugi be ok?”

“I don’t know. If he hasn’t been hurt than
yes otherwise I don’t know. We’ll just have to wait.”

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Atemu flew down and landed inside the human community. The
people gasped and bowed low on the ground the instant they saw him. Atemu
walked over to a young teenage girl and lifted her head. She was shaking in
fear.

“Show me where Yugi lives?”

The girl nodded and quickly bowed again and stood up and
quickly walked down the street. She just didn’t stop shaking. It had been the
first time in 300years since the King had set foot inside the community. She
soon stopped and turned to him and bowed.

“T-T-T-T-This i-is the p-p-place.”

Atemu turned and walked up to the door and nodded. A few
seconds later the young girl from the throne room opened the door and she
screamed in terror and ran inside. Atemu blinked slightly before stepping foot
inside and closed the door. Atemu stood there as the father came running in
hearing her scream. He gasped and his eyes were wide before he dropped to the
ground.

“My King what an honour to have you in our
home.”

“Where is Yugi?”

“This way my King. Um...”

“Yes?”

“He isn’t in a good state.”

“Show me.”

Yugi’s father stood and led him to Yugi’s room and Atemu
gasped and ran in seeing the mother on the other side and in between them was a
bruised up form. Atemu ran over and sat down on the side of the bed and gently
touched Yugi’s face. Yugi’s mother seeing him in here moved and bowed down in
front of him.

“My King it’s an honour to have you in our home.”

“Where is the bracelet?”

“Um...”

Argenta looked to her husband who walked over and knelt down
and held out the bracelet to Atemu. Atemu carefully lifted it up checking it
over before sliding it back onto Yugi’s arm and gasped slightly when he felt
all his pain. Atemu gently brushed some hair from his face.

“You are the one that wrote this?” Atemu passed down the
letter addressed to him and she took it and read it over.

“Yes it was me.”

“Let’s go talk than.”

Atemu bent down and pressed his lips to Yugi’s forehead
before getting up. Yugi’s mother and father led Atemu to the kitchen and they
all sat down.
