Chapter one; A little too late

Yami sat outside the house looking into the sunset. He was lost in his own thoughts. The memories of when he lost his temper running through his mind. He had been happy that day it was Yugis birthday party. He had spent all day shopping for the special pyramid shaped necklace. It was put together like a puzzle and when it was finished it became a necklace. Yami was sure Yugi would adore it. He got close and he heard voices.

"Don't worry we won't tell Yami." He heard Marik say. He walked in to his see Marik kissing Yugi passionately. Yugi saw Yami and pushed Marik away. Yami had jumped to the conclusion that the only reason Yugi did that was cause he saw Yami. Yugi tried to explain but Yami exploded. Yelling at him telling him what a horrible person he was. Then he did the one thing he should never have done. He punched Yugi so hard that Yugi went flying right through a window and lay on the ground passed out.

The next day Yami found out that Marik had seen Yami coming and had kissed Yugi on purpose. Yami should never have jumped to the wrong conclusion. He had tried to apologize for the way he acted. Yugi looked up to him with pain embedded in his eyes. "I am sorry Yami. I can never stay with someone who hits me. I am going to America to live with my Aunt." Yami was struck speechless and didn't know what to say but he had to try. Before he could say a word, Yugi had placed his lips against Yamis in a tender and sad kiss pulling away. "We can no longer be together. I will up my things in two days."

Yami was no sitting out the house watching the sunset, trying to ignore the fact that the person he loved most was moving his stuff out of the house with Joeys help. Yugis friends didn't want to come near him either. He felt stupid and his heart ached with agony. He wanted to go back into time and stop himself. But he knew the damage was already done.

Yugi sighed walking up to Yami and placing his hand on his shoulder. "Goodbye Yami." With out even a tear Yugi left. Yami knew he couldn't stop Yugi but wished his love would show a little bit of pain at leaving. No, Yami thought, I ruined all of it.

He stayed on the porch long after Yugi had gone and walked up to his room, his tears finally streaming down his face when he realized that Yugi was gone. He was never coming back he would never again touch Yugi or hold him close. He sobbed in anguish holding a pillow close to him. How could he have been so stupid? The sobs drained him and eventually put him to sleep.

Yami woke up the next day feeling empty inside. It seemed to take all of his energy just to get up for work. Work was long and he was glad to be going home. He was sinking into depression as the weeks went by. Joey, Tristian and Duke did all that they could to cause him hell. Everyday they would jump him as he was walking home and beat the shit out of him. But he didn't even care anymore.

He walked down the streets a lot at night when he was unable to sleep. Yami sighed at the sound of thunder he hated the rain. He started walking home and turned walking the other way when he saw Tristian and Duke waiting on the front steps with baseball bats. He didn't really want to deal with him at the time.

He didn't count on Joey spotting him. He heard. "He's here!" and then felt a sharp pain go through his back. The baseball bat connected with his knee knocking him down on his back and causing his head to his the brick wall. He heard the baseball bat fall and felt pain erupt from his face. Joey was punching him. His two friends had to pull Joey off when they heard the sounds of the police sirens. "How dare you hurt Yugi? Next time you will die." That was all he heard before he had blanked out.

He came back to consciousness with a massive headache. His leg hurt like hell. He expected to be in the hospital. It was a room he was in with a wall painted blue. It smelled of china rain inscents that were still burning in the room. He heard the door open and his eyes widened in shock. His most hated enemy Bakura had just walked in. His silver hair normally left down was back into a ponytail, his dark eyes looked at Yami with malice and maybe just a little bit of concern.

"You got yourself into some serious shit." Bakura said sitting down beside Yami. "They are worse then me." Yami didn't say anything but looked up out the window. "You need to get some rest, I'll bring some food."

Why would Bakura help him? Yami thought and thought until some accepted idea entered his head. Yes that is it. He helped me because he wants me to owe him. He wants me to do something. Yami thought that as he went to sleep.
