Light & Dark Loves :: Chapter One

Run..duck..hide..shh! They can't hear you..they can't see you in the dark..must stay in the dark.

The boy ran for his life, away from persuing footsteps. His lungs ached with the need for rest and air..but he couldn't stop. No, they'd get him and then it would be all over. He'd be in pain again. No!

Hide behind the trash cans..they won't see you, you'll be safe.

The boy had bolted into a nearby alley, diving behind the tall trashcans. The stink and filth on the ground mattered very little to the trembling boy. Why was this happening to him now? When would they stop tormenting him.

"Come on you little brat! We saw you run here! Come out and take it..you're just making it worse on yourself."

No..can't come out. Don't let them touch you again, it hurt to much last time. Don't let their hands touch you..please don't let them touch you..

"Get OUT HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT! "

"Hey, he's behind the trashcans."

No!

The taller boys pulled a trembling child from behind the cans. He squirmed, but to no avail. The elder's grip held fast. He began to cry, as he did that day they first found that they liked this game. His body shook violently with his sobs, cracked words emitting from his lips.

"...please..put..down..me..I.don't want..this.."

"Of course you do you little slut. You want this..just like you did that other day. "

No..you hate this. Nothing could hurt more..please don't let them try again..please let them put down..

"Come on you little whore, out of those clothes."

He didn't move. The boy huffed in frustration, and just ripped the clothes from the child's body. Hands damp with sweat touched the youth's body, setting it aflame. Eyes opened a bit, was there someone standing there?

"GET OFF HIM NOW!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

That damn company. It hurt his brain to think about it any longer. People moved to get out of his way quickly, shooting him frightened glances. Why? Why else..He was the famous billionaire Seto Kaiba. A child genius. He merely shrugged the feeling of the peoples fear away from him, not really caring anymore.

Why had the street become so deserted now? It was then his eyes caught the sight of a small child running from two older boys. He looked terrified. The boy sprinted into a nearby alley, the boys in hot pursuit. Curiosity got the better of him as he moved to see what was going on.

"...please..put..down..me..I.don't want..this.."

"Of course you do you little slut. You want this..just like you did that other day."

A wave of pure disgust hit Seto. These boys looked at least 16, and they were getting ready to to rape this child, who looked no older than ten.

"GET OFF HIM NOW!"

Both boys froze, sending dirty looks towards the older teen. He stood tall, a vision of death.

"What the fuck do you want? We're busy."

"I said..get off him now."

"And who are you to tell us what to do? You little bitch."

"I'm going to count to three."

The boy who had the little one pinned finally let the child go, walking past Seto in a casual saunter. Quickly, he spat at Seto, missing him though, then took off down the street, his friend following in his steps.

After making sure the other two were long gone, he let his gaze come to naked, quivering child. He moved over to him silently, kneeling to look at the boy more clearly. It surprised him what he saw. The boy was quite handsome for the age he looked. Locks of spiky tri-coloured hair, black, and hinted red, with bangs of gold. Seto allowed his hand to brush some of those silken strands of sunlight from the child's eyes. They were the loveliest violet..innocent yet so mysterious. Finally, he found his voice.

"Are..you alright..?"

Stupid. Why did he ask the most obvious question? The boy's terror-stricken face told him that he wasn't alright. The child merely nodded, coughing a bit. Red droplets fell onto his tiny hand. It was -

"Blood.."

"..W-w-what?"

"Nothing. Come on, you need some medical help."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This boy had appeared out of no where to help the child. But why? Did the other want something of him? Oh well. A nice bed would be nice to sleep in..he needed to get home. The spiky-haired boy was so deep in his thought, he failed to notice that the other had picked him up in his arms, cradling the child as if he were made of the finest glass.

"First..tell me your name little one."

"..Y..y-yugi."

"Yugi..lovely. I'm Seto."

Seto? Seto..as in Seto Kaiba..?

"Seto Kaiba?"

"Yes."

He nearly fainted. He was now being held by the one and only Seto Kaiba! He began to tremble again. He'd heard of Seto's cruel nature. Almost everyone had. What was going to happen to him? Seto began to walk out of the alley, but not before he carefully wrapped Yugi in his blue trench coat. As soft as the fabric was, it hurt still hurt the small cuts on Yugi's tender flesh. He whimpered lightly.

"Shh little one.. Do you want to go to the hospital..?"

".."

How was he suppose to answer? The boy lived with his grandfather, who would most likely ignore him if he was called..and surely the would call him. At the hospital, he would be asked lots of questions, and those boys would be alerted that he had spoken of them..then they would just do this again. It was what started all of this..

"Yugi?"

"No..no hospital..."

Seto seemingly understood how traumatic this experience must've been. He merely nodded. The elder had an extensive first-aid kit at his home, perhaps he could patch Yugi up himself. at least the wounds on the outside. Nothing Seto did could fix those wounds the boy had endured internally.

'Seto..?

"Hmm?"

"...Thank you.."

"Forget it Yugi. Now, if you don't mind. we're going back to my house..so we can get you cleaned up. "

Carefully positioning Yugi in one of his arms (which was an easy task considering how small the boy was), Seto fetched his cell phone, dialed, spoke quickly, and shut the thing back up in his pocket again.

"A car should be here soon."

Yugi nodded. Seto wrapped both arms around the child again, holding him ever so gently. It almost brought tears to his eyes to watch this little bundle of innocence could have been treated so terribly. No telling how much it must've hurt the boy before, since from how he looked, it seemed this wasn't the first time he'd been run down by those boys. Seto silently cursed them.

'They will pay for hurting such a little angel as this boy'

Yugi suddenly tugged Seto back to reality.

"Hmm?"

"Your car is here."

"Oh.."

Carefully he lifted the small one into the back of the limo which had pulled up. He hissed 'home' at the driver, still holding Yugi close. Why couldn't he just put the boy down?

'Its because he's hurt..you don't want to hurt him more'

Right..that voice in his head was always correct in these things. It was then he heard a light snore. Seto chuckled. Yugi had fallen asleep on him. He couldn't help but become slightly aroused at the situation. He held the boy as close as he could to himself without hurting him, drinking in the child's warmth. Without thinking much, he, cautiously unbuttoned the few top buttons of his shirt, once again pressing Yugi to him. A shudder ran through Seto, the feeling of the boy's warm, sweat-dampen skin against his own. Wait..what was he thinking? This was just a small child..perhaps ten or eleven, and here was 17 year old Seto. Oh well. He could be left to dream..
