9 year old Yugi Motou woke up to the sun in his eyes and knocking on his door.

"Go away Hera, I am tired and want to sleep," Yugi moan as he pulled the covers up higher. Yugi knew he had to get up, he had school and Hera would kill him if he made her late too.

"Yugi, get up for school, come on, don't make me come in there," Hera threatened, soon enough Yugi was getting out of bed and throwing on his school uniform.

"Happy now?" he asked as he exited his room.

"You have no idea," Hera said handing him his lunch and a piece of toast. As they were leaving the house they passed the couch where they saw the incapacitated Kim. They walked off to school, Yugi eating his toast on the way.

"Please just stay out of trouble until school starts please Yugi," Hera said as she went to depart with he dear younger brother.

"Okay, only if you give me something special for my birthday!" Yugi said, Hera smiled, she knew that she would be getting him something for his birthday but his mother wouldn't be giving him anything, and he didn't even realize it himself.

A lot of people had no idea what went on inside of Yugi's home, they had an addicted parent. Yugi and Hera's mother, Kim, was addicted to drugs.

It wasn't that bad at first, a bit here and there, she had even stopped when she was pregnant with Yugi. But after her husband died and Yugi started going off to school it took a turn for the worst.

Being alone in the house drove her crazy and she became dependant on the drugs, she couldn't go four hours without wanting more, this made both of her children suffer.

Yugi was only six at that time so Hera took it upon herself to take care of him. She would get him to school in the morning after feeding him, and she would also have to bring money in for him and Kim. She never had much left to give to Yugi after Kim had her share.

You see, Kim prostituted her eldest child, for drug money.











During school Yugi was a quiet boy being small like he was he was normally picked on and he did nothing to try and stop them, he drilled it into his mind that he deserved it. He thought that it was his fault that his sister had to go out and not come back till late, it was his fault that his mother would scream at him when he told her he had no money for her, everything was his fault.

It was fifth period and Yugi was suppose to be learning history but he couldn't pay attention, that is because eh was asleep on his desk. Luckily the teacher is practically blind and didn't notice.

Since it was Friday the children were to have lunch sixth period and then leave to go home. Hera promised Yugi that she would be there to pick him up because her school got out sooner.

The best part of Yugi's entire day was going to be that fact that, for once, he would have someone waiting for him, all the other children had their mothers waiting for them, or their fathers, but Yugi didn't mind as long as Hera was there, and like she said, she was.

Just as they were leaving school one of Yugi's teachers stopped Hera thinking the teenager was his mother. It was Yugi's half blind history teacher.

"Hello Miss. Motou, I have been noticing Yugi was falling asleep in my class, I didn't want to cause the child anymore trouble so I have been letting it go for the longest time but it has been happening more often lately," She told Hera.

"What do you mean more trouble the he is already in?" Hera asked, was someone bothering Yugi during school, the boy didn't need that kind of trouble.

"Well his height makes him a prime candidate for the bullies, anyway it's just something to take into mind, nice talking to you," she said walking away.

"Yea nice talking to you as well," Hera said turning back to Yugi with a slight frown on her face.

Yugi and Hera hadn't said a word to each other ever since they left school. "Are you mad at me?" Yugi finally asked, he knew Hera wasn't happy he was falling asleep in class.

"Yea Yugi, I am mad at you, falling asleep in class, that is going to kill your grades, and then mom is going to be spiraled down another bad path," Hera said, she heard Yugi sniffle at her words.

"I'm so sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to say that," Hera said stopping and hugging the smaller boy. She made it sound like it was Yugi's fault that their mother was on drugs; she didn't mean it that way.

"It's okay Hera, I will try harder to stay awake," Yugi said drying his tears.

"Why were you sleeping in class anyway, I put you to bed every night before I," but she stopped there, Yugi didn't need to know about her night life.

"I know you leave the house at night, I wait for you to get home, I want to make sure that you are okay," Yugi said hoping that it would not anger her more.

"Yugi, please do not concern yourself with what goes on after I put you to bed, please just go to sleep tonight," Hera made Yugi promise, after he did they continued to their house.

Hera fed Yugi and helped him with his homework before she put him to bed and reminded him that he was to go right to sleep and not wait up for her, he nodded sorrowfully and agreed.

Yugi tried to go to sleep he really did, he closed his eyes and laid down but sleep would just not come. Not until he heard the door open and his sister trudge up the stairs, it was at that time and at that time only did he start to feel drowsy and his eyes droop

He heard their mother stop her, "Did you get the money?" she asked.

"Yes," Hera said, she sounded in pain to Yugi and it worried him.

"This is it, a lousy three hundred, I guess Yugi will have to join you tomorrow night," she said, no remorse in her voice.

"No, you can't do that to him, he will only be ten, he will never go willingly," Hera tried to convince her mother that Yugi was way to young and innocent to have this happen to him.

"He will not know what's going on until it is too late," Kim said, Yugi had fallen asleep thought, and missed this key sentence.

Yugi woke the next morning to the smell of breakfast, he remembered it was his birthday and he jumped up and ran downstairs in his sleepwear, otherwise known as his boxers.

"Yugi, why aren't you dressed?" Hera asked as she looked up from the breakfast she was making Yugi for his birthday.

Yugi hadn't even realized it; he looked down at his Dark Blue underwear and ran up the stairs embarrassed. He came back down later with clothes on this time.

"Okay, now that you have a shirt and well, you don't have shoes but that's okay, here your breakfast," Hera said with a saddened smile, she knew that the night to come would be the worst night of his life. (You know like, no shirt, no shoes, no service)

The day went rather fast because Yugi went to the Zoo and the park with Hera, then when they got home Hera got out his present, they were both mighty surprised when Kim got out a present as well.

Yugi opened up Hera's first; it was some action figures, a stuffed Dark Magician Plushy, and some new sheets for his bed.

Yugi was so happy about his present he missed the death glare Kim sent Hera, Hera saw it though, she knew that Kim didn't like that fact that Hera had taken some of the money that she made to buy Yugi a gift.

Kim's gift was next to be open, Yugi opened it and a confused look came over his face. It was tight leather pants, the kind you couldn't wear underwear under, a tight leather buckle shit and a neck buckle.

Hera got a frightened look on her face, Yugi was going to wear this tonight when they went out was her guess.

"Now Yugi, please go upstairs and get your new clothes on, you are going with Hera to work tonight," Kim said as she rushed Yugi up the stairs.

Kim turned to Hera angrily, "you tell him to get in the car when it stops, if he doesn't come home with money then I will personally sell him from this very home," Kim said to Hera before she went to go get high.

Kim seemed sad and she and Yugi walked to a dark street corner and just stood there. Soon enough, too soon for Hera, a white storage van pulled up. He pointed at Yugi as he drove up and Hera quietly told Yugi to get in the back of the car. She gave him a hug before she told him she was sorry.

Yugi didn't understand but got in the car never the less, he wasn't aware that this was the last time he might ever see his sister again.

Yugi didn't know where they were going or what was going on, finally the car stopped and the mad joined him in the back of the seat. Yugi was very confused until a kiss was forcefully pressed up against his lips. Yugi now realized what was going on.
