High School

A knock at the door interupted the two boys.

Yami could hear Ryou answering the door.

"Yes officer?" Yami heard him from the stairs.

"We're looking for Yami, the guy on the tape

you sent us."

"What's going on?" Malik asked.

"Do you remember when Yami raped that poor

inocent defensless boy?" Ryou said phonily, but

what do they know?

"Yeah, didn't Yami make one hundred copies and kept one

original?" Malik sounded so phony but the cops didn't pay no

mind.

"The small boy is traumatized for life." Yami couldn't

believe the lies pooring out Ryou's mouth. "He's upstairs."

Ryou said quickly.

"SHIT!" Yami ran back to his room. "Yuugi I have to go now,

I don't know when I can see you again!"

"I can't live without you, where ever you go take me with you!"

Yuugi begged teary eyed. Yami couldn't think straight.

"Ok, but we need to go out the window!" Yuugi willingly followed

out the window. They rushed to a car in the backyard.

Yami ran down the backfence to getaway.

"Yami slow down!" Yuugi begged while clinging to the seat.

"I gotta get far from here!" Yami said while hitting the gas.

The car seemed to go forever until Yami finally skided into the

parkinglot of a mini mart on the side of the highway. "I don't

understand this, Jounichi said he found all the tapes, all hundred

of em'." Yami wiped the sweat from his forhead. "He destroyed

the original plus nintey nine more..."

"Ryou and Malik lied, there were one hundred and one. The police

have a copy." Yuugi said. "Yami...Are you crying?" Yuugi saw Yami's

eyes for the first time soaking wet in sorrow.

"Yuugi, they think I raped you." Yami lowered his forhead against the

steering wheel. "They're gonna lock me up, what am I gonna do?"

Yuugi didn't know what to say. He didn't tell Yami that 'He' was the one

who told his Jichan that Yami raped him. Yami dried his tears best he could

then pulled his chain link wallet out of his leather pocket. "I'm going in for a

minute, I'll be right back." Yami went into the store while Yuugi sat in the car

planning the right moment to tell him what horrid thing he had done. When Yami

came back he threw a plastic bag full of food into the back seat of the car. "We got

to hide out til thing blows over ok. "Yuugi don't cry, we'll be fine." Yuugi couldn't look

at him. Yami knew something was wrong when Yuugi wouldn't look at him. They soon

stopped at a hotel on the side of the road. "We're here for a while ok, they won't catch up

to us as long as we leave before morning. Let's check in now." Yuugi grabbed the bag for

Yami. He carried it along with him to the check out counter while Yami used his fake ID to

check into a room, then up to the room wich was riddled in cobwebs and trash left by the

previous persons. "It's not a palace but it will do for half a night." Yami looked back at

Yuugi who was placing the bag on the bed. "What's the matter baby?"

"DOn't call me baby, that's the kind of shit that got us in trouble in the first place." Yuugi

started to tear up again. "I have to tell you something...(gasp)..You'll hit me."

"I won't hit you." Yami said with a hurt look on his face. He couldn't believe Yuugi would think

he would ever hurt him. "Why would you say something like that?"

"You need to know but..I..."

"Calm down honey, please" Yami placed firm yet gentle hands Yuugi's face making him look

at him. "Tell me, what ever it is, I won't hurt you." Yuugi was having second thoughts about

telling him the truth but the guilt was killing him.

"I told Jichan you raped me...." Yami's expression dropped. His blank emptyness frightened

Yuugi into thinking he was gonna kill him for sure. "Ya..Yami I'm sorry..." Yuugi pleaded.

Yami's hands left Yuugi's face. Yami looked at him so shocked while knodding his head.

Yuugi never saw anyone look at him like that before. Yami backed away from him and

turned around to punch a hole in the wall. Yuugi jumped out of his skin when Yami's knuckles

broke trhough the abspedos filled wall. He looked at Yuugi still blank and empty faced, he turned

away and left the room, not bothering to shut the door. "I'm sorry...." Yuugi sobbed and curled up

in his own lap. Meanwhile in the parkinglot Yami limped to his car and grabbed the handle of his car

door. Just as he did he fell to his knee's and gripped his chest. He felt as if his heart was in shards.

"Why...." Yami leaned against his car while opening the door to the front door. Yami shut the door

and blasted his radio so no one could hear his painful cry's.
