The sight Yugi was in did not sit well on everyone. She laid there looking broken, tired, and another one that can and will never not be able to name.

He sat there happy and proud with a chain in his hand, pulling on that chain made her head lift do to the tension it left her gasping for breath. Doing the best she could to crawl to ease the tension so she could breath.

This sight almost made Joe and Tess throw up, and they have some of the hardiest stomachs one could find.

Tears flowed out of Ishtar and Ann's eyes. They could not handle it.

"Let us handle it." Rayu stepping up. Calling up a few Duel Monster cards they walked up to attack him.

A few people came up in between them calling their Duel Monsters. It was a harsh fight, a fight that made Yugi cry even more. Ishtar saw the tears running down her face like waterfalls, she was shocked to see that. You can't easily break Yugi, but to do it in three days this man, is not, not a man, not human.

Ishtar saw her chance as planed and summoned her Shadow minion. The Shadow Minion disappeared into the shadows and engulfed Yugi into it, making her disappear in the shadows she then reappeared in Ishtar's arms.

At the touch of being held Yugi twitched. Gasping at this she glared death at him for taking some much from her. He looked back at her with uncaring, lustful eyes. She turned her head back to Yugi, who now seemed to have eased into her touch.

"Good at least he has not touch her in that way."

"What do you mean?" Sitting beside her Ann asked.

"She has only been beaten these three days. So she fears human touch."

"I still don't get it."

"Every time she was touched, she was beaten. Flinching every time she was beaten."

"So, every time she is touched she will flinch because she thinks she is going to be beaten." Ishtar nodded. "But, how can you tell?" Ann added.

"Yugi relaxed in my arms after a little while." She answer.

The battle was won, the war was won. Everyone was back but not the same.

"Yugi!" She turned her head at the shout. Jii-chan came running in, she did not change her expression. "Yugi?" Worry deep in his voice as he put his hands on her shoulders. She twitched at the touch, he removed his hand slightly shock all over his face.

After backing away he could see marks on her neck and wrists. The scars that they will leave, the reminder they will become.

"How about this." Ishtar paused to gain attention. "We pack for Egypt. I think it would do us all good even you, Yugi." She continued and ushered Yugi out. Everyone did as told excepted Rayu and Jii-chan.

"Why now?" Rayu asked a little annoyed.

"It can take her away from all of this. Egypt does not have Hunters. It is also her first home."

"First home?"

"Since a young age Yugi has been vary smart when it came to games even smarter than me. She always took interest in Egyptian things i.e. History, culture, Egypt in general. Her first trip to Egypt looked like she found home. That same trip I--we showed her the tomb of the pharaoh that we are safekeeping. She moved around that tomb as if she had been there before--"

"In short we, the Ishtars have thought that Yugi could be the one of the Millennium items." She interrupted Jii-chan.

"Since that was proven, the joke of it being her first home died." Rayu listened he was always interested in what they have to say about her. She rarely talked about herself, unless she was asked about it, even then they weren't every detailed.

Happy with this answer he left to go pack.

"Ishtar-kun"

"Yes?"

"Will she stay this way?"

"I don't know, but what I can tell you he did not stain her pure white robe for the chambers. So, let us pack as well." Agreeing he left. "She has as that face far worse than this Yugi-san." Talking to no one she left as well to pack.
