Two Gangs

Chapter 1: Moving In

Checking to see if there was anything left in the room that was going to be needed for the trip, the teenage boy placed his suitcase next to the door of his small bedroom. Amethyst eyes glanced at what was left in the closet, under the bed and on his desktop. Spotting a watch left on the counter, he rushed over to reclaim it before turning around to the sound of his name. Picking up the luggage form where he had left it, the small teen made his way downstairs to be greeted by his grandfather and mother. "Yugi, make sure you call me as soon as you get to the first rest stop the three of you take... and put on a jacket!" the older woman chided when she saw the sleeveless shirt her son had chosen to dress in that day. With a black button-up, shirt and simple jeans, Yugi was not well prepared for the autumn air. He had just turned seventeen a few weeks ago and was determined to try out for a different lifestyle than what he was used to in this small town. Planning to move to New York City with his best friends Anzu and Ryou for the longest time, the group had saved up as much as they could for the trip. The three were going to drive there in Ryou's new car which his father had given to him as a gift to make up for the years of not being there.

Yugi looked back to his family to say his goodbyes when he heard a knock on the front door. "Yugi, are you ready? We have miles to burn. Lets go!" Ryou called as he entered the building. Ryou was a taller kid with medium length white hair and the deepest brown eyes. The two had met back in high school a few years ago and had been close ever since. The timid boy looked to the luggage waiting by the front steps and decided to help by taking the smaller teen's bags and putting them into the trunk. Yugi waved goodby to his remaining family before exiting the house. Waiting in the driver's seat was Anzu, who gleamed in excitement at the road trip ahead. She was wearing blue shorts and a tank top that matched her eyes. Yugi had a crush on her since they were children, but would dare not admit it to his long time friend.

Alternating on who was behind the wheel, the three drove for what seemed like weeks before reaching the state line to New York. Knowing there would be a few more hours before reaching their destination, Anzu reminded Yugi to give his brother a call to remind him of their arrival. At around midnight, Yugi guided Ryou through the back roads to where the map had said Yami's apartment was located. Pulling into the driveway, the friends exited the small car before gathering what they could and climbing up the stairs to the second floor. As Yugi knocked on the door, Anzu stretched while releasing a tired yawn. Ryou placed the bags he had by the doorstep before making his way downstairs for more things left behind in his car. It took a while for Yugi to realize that his brother was not home, leaving the teens no choice but to wait outside the door.

As time passed, his taller friends had decided it was too late in the night and would rather wait in the car. Yugi knew they just wanted to rest, so he assured them that he would wake them up when his brother got there. "Come on, Yugi, wait in the car with us." Ryou had offered, but there was no budging coming from the spunky haired boy. As he watched the two make their way down stairs, the teen leaned against the door to his brother's apartment before sitting down and bringing his knees up to his chest. Memories from the last time he had saw his brother played out in his head. A part of Yugi knew that he should have told his friends everything, since they were taking the risk of moving up here with him, but there was no way he could bring it up in conversation. How do you tell your friends such a big secret? How can you say that your brother was a leader of the gang? Not even their parents had known...

"I'm a gang member now, Yugi, so I won't be able to visit that often, little bro." Yami apologized as he ruffled through Yugi's hair. His crimson eyes gazed down at the little boy in front of him. Yugi looked down trying to keep the tears from escaping his eyes as he listened to his brother's explanation as to why he had to leave. No matter what the older teen said, he just couldn't understand why Yami felt like he had to run away from home. The ten year old clung tighter to his sibling when he felt the teen try to pull away. Yami released a heavy sigh before bringing his hands down to the young boy's sides. "Don't tell mom and dad, alright? If you do, I can't guarantee their safety." he ordered, catching the look his younger brother was throwing at him. "There are a lot of gangs out there that would kill a person just for being related to me. So stay quiet about this, alright?" He explained.

"Alright." Yugi hiccupped as he released his grip on the older sibling. The young boy watched as Yami picked up his duffle bag before climbing out the window. The older teen climbed down from the second floor roof using the drainage rails along the side. When he landed on the grass below, Yami gave one last look to the house before turning around and getting into the truck waiting for him on the curb.

"Take care now, Yugi! Stay safe." Yami called as the truck drove off.

Yugi woke up to the sound of a car pulling up to the apartment complex. He felt a chill as the teen looked around groggily. Hearing a voice, amethyst eyes looked up to see two crimson orbs staring back at him. "Man, Yami, you two look alike!" a voice from behind them called.

"Hey kiddo, what ya doin' here?" Yami asked as he helped his baby brother up to his feet. Yugi hugged Yami for a long while before pulling away. The young man had not seen him since he was ten years old.

"I told you, Yami. On the phone remember? My friends and I decided to start a new life here in the city and we needed a place to stay. You said it was ok for us to crash here for a bit." He replied as he pulled out his phone to text Anzu and Ryou to wake up. Bending down to pick up their things he smiled as Yami smacked his own forehead in remembrance.

"Well come on in then, oh and this is my friend Ogata." He said as he pointed to the guy standing next to him. Yami unlocked the door to the apartment and helped his brother move in.
