His cerise eyes gleaming and his bone-white fangs glowing, Yami smiled as he examined Warren Mears, who was currently glaring at him with his brown eyes narrowed while chained to the wall in Yami's mansion by the wrists.

Yami had abducted Warren while he'd been about to put his plan of robbing an amusement park into action that night, along with Buffy Summers' fellow Sunnydale High classmate Jonathan Levinson, and Tucker Wells' younger brother Andrew.

Warren referred to himself, Andrew and Jonathan as the Trio. An odd name, that one, Yami thought, as he'd also heard of the other names: the Nerd Troika, the Nerd Herd and the Empire of the Nerds (according to the Scoobies). 

Now, the Trio was permanently disbanded; thanks to Yami's efforts, they would never get the chance-slash-opportunity to take over Sunnydale (as well as cause a lot of headaches for Buffy, her little sister Dawn and her friends in the process).

At the moment, Jonathan was asleep under the covers in Yami's bed; Yami felt that abducting Jonathan was a good idea instead of leaving him behind at the amusement park.

The same also went for the third member of the Trio, Andrew. Having learned beforehand that Tucker's younger brother desired — and was desperate for — love and affection, Yami decided to use that to his advantage. Of course, it was quite easy to put Andrew under Yami's spell; when Yami suggested that Andrew look into his eyes, Andrew did exactly that. And at that very moment, Andrew was under the trance that Yami had put him in.
