I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH!

Sakura: This is just a story that came to mind. It might not be long. It really depends on what my reader think of it.

Yumi: I am sure they will love it.

Atemu Yami Akana, a nineteen year old, was at home with his Mom. Well she wasn't really his mother; she was his step-mom. He didn't like her one bit, but he had no choose but to live with her. His parents died, when he was only 13 and it upset him a lot. He was put into foster care until he turned 15 when his step-mom came and adopted him. She was a part-time sober drunken fool. The adoption center didn't know she drunk, because when she got Atemu, she was sober. Every night she would beat him or try to rape him. Whenever she came home drunk, he would run up to his room and lock himself away. She would tell him the only reason she got him was so she had a sex toy when her boyfriends wouldn't come over. Atemu had tried to run lots of times, but she would call her friends and he would be taken back home. His mother didn't even let him go to school, afraid her little 'toy' would run away. Atemu had soon had to learn to fight back, just so he could eat and go to the bathroom. Like now.

Atemu ran to the bathroom as fast as he could, hopefully his 'mom' was asleep. He got into the bathroom and locked the door. He let out a sigh as he used the restroom.

After doing his business, Atemu opened the door a crack to see if she was there. He was lucky so far, so he slowly walked out of the room. Just as he made it down the hall to his room.

CRASH!

Atemu froze on the spot. Just then footsteps were heard in front of him. He knew now that he couldn't go back to his room. So he did the only other thing he could do. He ran toward the front door. Hopefully his mother was very drunk so she wouldn't know he was missing and maybe not call her friends.

Just as he was to the door, something attacked him from behind and he fall face forward. "Hello sweetie!"

Atemu was turned over by his mother, who was on top of him.

"You weren't going to run were you?"

Atemu just shook his head.

"Good! I could use some fun."

She leaned down to kiss him.

Atemu really wanted to puke. She smelled of all types of beers. He slapped her across the face, before her lips met his.

"You don't want some?" She tried to look innocent.

"No You Bitch! I am not your toy! I told you the first day you adopted me! I AM NOT EVER EVER NEVER EVER HAVING SEX WITH YOU!" Atemu full out yelled at her.

She frowned then smirked. "Sorry dear, you have no choice. I will have you."

Before she could to anything. Atemu had kneed her in the gut. She rolled off of him and held her stomach.

Atemu took his chance and ran. He pulled the door opened and ran out into the night.

As he ran he could hear her yell. "I WILL GET YOU! YOU CAN NOT LEAVE ME!"

Atemu still ran. He didn't care what happen to him, just as long as she didn't get him. He ran down alleys, sidewalks, and in the middle of the streets. He was trying his best to get as far as he could.

Finally after a lot of running he saw a park up ahead. He stopped at the corner and looked at it from across the street. He knew if he got to the park he could hide from his mom and her friends from finding him.

Not caring if cars were coming, Atemu ran toward the park. But of course lady luck wasn't on his side today. A car was coming and Atemu didn't know it till the car hit him full on.

The next thing Atemu knew was that he was on the ground in a lot of pain. Footsteps were heard running toward him. He looked up to see who it was with half-lidded eyes. He was hoping it wasn't his mother or her friends. Atemu prayed it wasn't them. He let out a moan as that someone put his head on his or her lap. He looked up into amethyst eyes, before blacking out.

Atemu let out another moan. He was trying to sleep, but there were a lot of voices in the room. He tried to turn over, but he found out it hurt to move.

He then felt a soft warm hand brush one of his blonde bangs to the side. He decided that sleep could wake, because he really wanted to know where he was. Crimson eyes slowly showed themselves, as Atemu woke up. His was met with white wall and a tan ceiling. He looked to see side and his breath was caught in his throat. There stood the most beautiful site he had ever seen. A boy, who looked just like him stood there. Well they almost looked alike. This boy's hair wasn't as wild as his was and he had bright amethyst eyes. Atemu believed him to an angel.

The boy smiled. "Hey there sleepy head. My name is Yugi. I am so sorry I ran you over. You really shouldn't have been running in the middle of the street."

Atemu gave him a weak smile and leaned into the touch of Yugi's hand on his cheek. "W-What…h-happ-e-en?"

Yugi sighed. "You were running toward the park and I didn't see you till the last minute. I am very sorry for hurting you."

"I-Its...o-ok." Atemu looked down to see his left arm in a sling and a brace on the left side of his rib cage, which was showing a little from not eating. He found that he could still use his legs and that they weren't that bad, sense he was wearing pants that night, but of course his clothes were gone and he was sitting on the hospital bed in his boxers. His bruises from his mother were seen very clearly now. He then realized that he was cold, now that he was awake.

Yugi seemed to notice that he was cold, because he went to the end of the bed and pulled the covers over him. "Better?"

Atemu nodded and let Yugi sit next to him and run his fingers through his hair. It was then that he realized he had a bandage on his forehead. "Why is t-that…t-there?"

"Oh you hit your head, but not hard. The doctor said it was just a mild concussion."

The door opened just then and a Doctor and Police officer walked in.

"Well Well looks like my patient is awake. Good morning Mr. Akana. I'm Doctor Mr. Takasahi. You have had an exciting night."

Atemu groaned.

"Yes, I know you don't feel like being here, but you were in a car accident. Lucky for you Mr. Mutou here was doing the speed limit so you weren't hurt too badly." He smiled at Yugi. "He has been worried about you."

Atemu looked at Yugi shocked. "B-But you…don't k-know m-me."

Yugi just smiled at him. "It's just in my nature. I don't like seeing people hurt. When I ran you over I just knew I had to see if you would be ok. I couldn't just leave you there to die."

Nobody cared about Atemu, but here was Yugi a boy who didn't even know him, caring for poor Atemu.

"T-Thank you."

Yugi smiled and ran a hand over some fallen tears on Atemu's face.

The officer walked a little closer. "I know this may be hard Mr. Akana, but I need to ask you a few questions?"

Atemu just nodded.

"Ok sir. I need to ask you...-sigh- are you being abused at home?"

Atemu knew he was going to ask that. "Yes." He had no choice, but to tell the truth, if he didn't he might be sent back to his mother and in his state he wouldn't stand a chance against her.

"I see and how old are you Mr. Akana."

"Nineteen."

"Ever been to school?"

"No."

More tears ran down his face. At this pace, Atemu was sure to be put back in foster care. They wouldn't care if he was nineteen. If he didn't have an education, he couldn't live on his own.

The officer let out another sigh. "Do you have any other relatives?"

Atemu slowly shook his head.

Yugi was quick to wipe away the tears as they fell. He felt very sorry for Atemu. There had to be something he could do. Then an idea hit him. "May he live with me?"

The officer stared at him for a minute. "Are you sure about that?"

Yugi nodded. "I am eight-teen and I am in my last year of high school. I live in a small apartment complex and I have a part-time job at my grandfather's game shop."

The officer smiled. "I don't see why not, but it's up to Atemu." He looked at Atemu. "What do you say?"

Atemu was shocked at first, but finally he smiled a true smiled that he had never smiled in years. "I would like that."

The officer wrote some notes down. "Good. Now Yugi do you have someone to watch him, while you are at school?"

Yugi nodded. "My grandfather he has raised me sense I was little. He can watch Atemu."

With no more questions the officer said his goodbyes, before walking out.

The Doctor checked over Atemu really quick, before deciding he would be good to go home tomorrow afternoon. Once he left, Atemu looked at Yugi. "Are you s-sure…I can live w-with you?"

Yugi smiled. "Of course Atemu, You need a place to stay and I got you into this mess."

Atemu smiled. "Call m-me Yami."

"Ok Yami."

Yami reached his right arm out to Yugi.

Yugi was confused at first, but then realized that Yami wanted a hug. He nodded, before hugging Yami lightly.

"T-Thank you." Yami had whispered lightly in his ear.

Once Yugi pulled back, he looked at his watch. The small duel monsters watch read: 1:25. Yugi sighed. "Yami I need to go let my friends and grandpa know I am alright. I am sure they are worried why I am not at school." As Yugi stood, he felt a hand pull on his arm.

He looked down to see Yami looking at him with sad eyes. Yugi smiled. "Don't worry I will be back soon. I will come back as soon as I tell my grandpa that I will not be coming to work today or tomorrow."

Yami sighed and let him go. Yugi left without another sound. Yami hated to lose the only person, who every cared about him so soon, but it was only for a little while. Right?
