High School

While Yuugi and Yami walked back to the house in silence. Yami reached

for the boys hand and held it brotherly. Yuugi looked up at him and saw

a world of hurt enveloping Yami's eyes. They were wet, puff, and redder

and darker than before. While they found themselves waking from thier

fading ill-thoughts, Yuugi let go of Yami's hand but Yami would not let

Yuugi go.

"Yami I'm going home now ok.." A deeper angry silence took over the room.

The silence hurt Yuugi's ears. Yami let go of his hand and he grabbed him by

the shoulders and looked straight passed his soul and into the younger boys

frightened eyes. He let go not wanting Yuugi to be more afraid of him than he

already was. Yuugi walked over to his back pack and picked it up and looked in

it for clothes. He got dressed just realizing Yami was watching him dress. Slipping

on his underwear he turned around and noticed the older boy crossed his arms and

studied the little teen intently. Yami was fixed on the bruises going up Yuugi's back.

Tears glistened his eyes as he sighed. The little teen pulled up his pance then put

his shirt on. It was the out fit Yami lent to him the day he was harrassed in the shower

room. Yuugi stepped into his shoes then sat down to tie them. He looked back up the

older boy. His black eye was clenched shut, his other watching him as if this would be the

last they saw of eachother. Yuugi put his back pack on and walked over to Yami. He hugged

him lovingly as if saying 'I forgive you'. But Yami didn't respond he only stared at the floor

where his dirty magazines where sprawled out. Yuugi's eyes were heavy in tears when he

reached up and stood on his toes to kiss his crush on the cheek. He did it a second time and

gasped a breath. Yuugi let his back pack slide down his arms and hit the floor so he could push

his body into Yami's while he gave him a long stressed embrace. Yuugi reached up once more

to kiss Yami on the lips. He could taste the blood from his bottom lip but ignored it and kept his

lips on his. He dropped back on the back of his feet. Yuugi felt a chill from Yami and let go of him.

He reached down to the floor to put his back pack on again and headed for the door.

"Wait.." Yami finally spoke. Yuugi looked back to him and witnessed his face in pain, he was shaking

and sweating fearing the small boy would leave and never come back. Yuugi dropped his back pack by the

door and ran to him.

"Don't cry please." Yuugi cried embracing Yami once more and smiled at the fact that he wanted him to stay

with him as much as he wanted to stay with Yami. A knock at the door interupted this tender moment. Yami

hesitated to answere it. Yami opened the door slowly. Three cops were at the door. One picked up the back pack

that was by the door.

"I am office Kemal, we are looking for Mutou, Yuugi." He said showing him a picture of Yuugi. The cop saw the smaller

teen and looked back at Yami angry and shook his head. "Yuugi Mutou come with us."

"What's going on?" Yuugi backed up toward the living room. The cop pushed Yami aside and grabbed frozen Yuugi's arm

and pulled him out of the house. Yami grabbed Yuugi's hand and tried to pull him back in.

"We need to take you home!" The cop struggled to pull Yami back into the house while another tried to pull Yuugi out.

"NO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING, HE ISN'T SAFE THERE!" Yami struggled to keep his grasp on Yuugi while

attempting to push the cop off him.

"WHAT THIS PLACE IS? HE'S GOING HOME YOU STREET PUNK!" The third cop assisted the other to pull Yami back to the other

could force Yuugi into the cruiser. Their grip broke!

"YAMI DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME!" Yuugi cried digging his heals into the ground. "I DON'T WANNA GO BACK!"

Yami fought with cops then gave up to prevent himself from being arrested. He watched in tears as Yuugi was

thrown into the back of the cruiser and taken away from him.
