Chapter 46

Yami smiled sadly before he started.

“I was born in Spain and I was 18 when I was kidnapped from
my family...

Yami was walking home from the markets with food for his family. He’d
finished his work with the local farmer collecting the produce to be sold and
had received his pay so he could buy dinner for his family. He had two younger
brothers and a younger sister, his brothers were eight and ten and his sister
was 13.

Yami was walking by an alley way on his way home when he was jumped
from behind and his mouth covered as he was dragged backwards into the alley.
Yami screamed and started struggling against the person holding him when
another came around in front of him shrouded in darkness and just as his mouth
was uncovered his was hit in the head causing him to lose consciousness. But
just before he did he heard talking.

“He will fetch us a fair price.”

“Bet he’s pure too.”

“Get him to the ship before he wakes up.”

Yami tried to fight of unconsciousness but failed and slowly slipped
away.

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

When Yami came to he woke to find himself chained to the wall of a
ship. He was in the cargo hold and was stripped of his normal clothing and
dressed into rages. Yami struggled to pull the chains from the walls of the
ship but failed. He saw that there were a dozen of others around the ship’s
cargo hold. He saw that they were bruised and slightly bloody. They looked like
they had been through hell.

Yami heard someone walking down the stairs into the cargo hold and saw
some of the prisoners cower against the wall. Yami glared at the couple of men
that walked down and they walked right over to him.

“Well you boys did another good capture. This one will catch us a good
price. He will need a bit of training.”

“Boy, you pure?” Yami just remained silent.

“He asked you a question boy.” Yami continued to remain silent.

“You teach him a lesson and let me know if he’s pure or not. It will
help decide the price to sell him for.”

Yami guessed he was the captain or boss of some sort as he was more
finely dressed than the others and had the air of arrogance in him which
demanded respect. Yami gasps as he was hit in the gut by the one that stayed
behind before curling in on himself. The other man continued to hit and kick at
him for a little while, as Yami cried out in pain, before he stopped. Yami
gasped as he tried to calm himself down and struggle with the pain.

“You going to talk now?” Yami just glared at him with teary eyes.
“Fine.”

Yami cried out as he was then kicked again and was pushed up against
the wall and kicked into harder than before. Yami felt tears leave his eyes as
much as he tried to not let them they came. He was beaten for another five
minutes before it all stopped.

“Answer our questions and you won’t go through this.”

Yami glared at the man who drew his leg back to start kicking him again
when Yami flinched and curled up more. He smirked seeing this and walked close
to Yami and picked up his chin and made him look at him.

“Are you pure?”

Yami gave in and nodded his head to him. He smirked and stood up and
left. Yami relaxed against the floor as he saw some of the men going to some of
the other prisoners and moving them around to make room for more. Yami watched
as two were brought over to where he was and chained up on either side of him.
They both had bruises on them but there were still defiant, struggling and
throwing curses around. Yami having had a higher education understood what they
were saying smirked, agreeing with what they were saying.

The first was a tall, lightly tanned blonde who was chained to his
right. He was taller than both of them and had light violet eyes. His hair
spiked out in all directions and was long enough to still hold and since he had
no shirt on his upper body was well built and was also speaking in Greek.

The second was a tall, pale white haired male who was chained to his
left. He was a little short than the other male but taller than Yami. He was
well built as well but not to the same size as the other but was a lot more
built than Yami. His eyes were dark brown and his white hair was long and spike
down his back. He was speaking in French.

As they were both chained there and all three left alone the two on
either side looked to Yami and could tell he was pretty badly hurt. Both moved
over since the chains were allowing the distance and they looked over Yami.

“Hey you alright?” The blonde asked hoping he understood or tried to
reply in something he understood so they could communicate.

“No I’m not.” Yami replied in Greek.

“Anything broken?” The white haired male asked in the same language.

“I don’t think so. You were speaking French earlier.” Yami replied in
French.

“Yes I know I know both. Like you obviously do as well.”

“Yeah.”

“We just left the Spanish coast so were you from there?”

“Yeah I am.” Yami replied in his native language.

Yami groaned as the pain started to catch up with him and black spots
started to cloud his vision before he lost consciousness.

Yugi looked at him a little upset hearing how he was taken
from his family and beaten as well. Yami smiled and wrapped his arm around his
shoulders and pulled Yugi against him.
