N2 - We study two-dimensional SQED viewed as the world-volume theory of a D-string in the presence of D5-branes with non-zero background Fields that induct attractive forces between the branes. In various approximations, the low-energy dynamics is given by a hyper-Kahler, or hyper-Kahler with torsion, massive sigma-model. We demonstrate the existence of kink solutions corresponding to the string interpolating between different D5-branes. Bound states of the D-string with fundamental strings are identified with Q-kinks which, in turn, are identified with dyonic instanton strings on the D5-brane world-volume.
