TOUGH LIFE
CHAPTER ONE
"I smoke the weed trying to hide the pain.
Spendin all my time, smoke my life away.
You can feel it inside, take a look in my eyes;
Can you feel the pain?
Mary Mary, take my pain away;
With struggle in time, spittin all over my face
Take a look in my eyes, don't you dear look away.
Mary Jane maintains, tryin to heel my pain"-Hide Da Pain(Clicka One)
6.6.6
There are many many ways to hide the pain someone feels. He thought as he looked out the window in his English class. He looked around and saw some kids chatting among the teacher as usual and some who actually asked question's as the teacher went over a topic. He went back to his thoughts and to look out the window, if it only were that easy to hide my pain. What the hell am I talking about?! What pain? I mean that pain supposibly is in the past and that's it. So why am I thinking about it? Damn I need to chill.
He hadn't notice the teacher had been calling his name. However, he soon will notice as the teacher walked in front of him and spoke, "Yami? Would you please answer the question?" Yami turned to look at the teacher and not surprised or anything at the teacher popping out of nowhere and intereppting his thoughts.
"What was the question?" Yami asked calmly.
"Eli was deported were at the age of fifteen?"(1) he asked him as he held a book in his hands and walked back to the front of the class.
"To...Auschwitz?"Yami replied.
"Correct." He said and with that the teacher continued on with his lesson. Some girls looked over at Yami and giggled as Yami turned and looked at them. The girls smiled and winked over at him. Making Yami raise both eyebrow's in response. The bell rang right after the teacher had assigned homework, letting them all go home.

"Yami!" yelled a blond teen as Yami walked outside. Yami turned to his direction and headed towards him and the rest of the people with him. However, before he reached them this guy had bumped into him. The blond boy saw this as well as three other teen's that were with him. They knew this was bad.
"Watch were the hell your going." Yami said. Yami didn't say this too low as the other young male turned.
"What the hell you say- Oh, Yami my bad foo." said the black haired boy.
"It's cool Roger. I was playing." Yami said with a smile. The blond boy that had been watching this and the other three looked at Yami and thought 'What the heck'. Yet, they obviously knew Yami knew this guy already. Yami finished saying bye to Roger and went to the other four teen's.
"Damn Yami I thought you were gonna fight him!" the blond spoke up.
"Hi to you too Jou." Yami said and turned to say hi to the rest, Yugi, Anzu, and Honda.
"Yami, you need to watch it I don't want you to go to the office again." Yugi said. Yugi was Yami's younger brother. The younger Motou looked much like his older brother yet, there were some different traits and characteristic's between the two.
Yugi on one hand was just a little shorter, had purple eyes, listened to rock, was more kind and more shy. Yami on the other hand was a little taller (a little), had crimson eyes, listened to about anything mostly rap and rock, and was a little more outgoing.
"Don't worry Yugi. Like I really want to go to the office again to see the vice principle." Yami said as they all stared to walk home.
"Yeah, I mean Mr. Williams is so annoying, always butting into people's buisness. You should really get your grandpa on him Yami like you said." the blond teen said turning towards Yami as he said the last sentence. Yami just kept walking.
"Like I'd really get my abuelito(2) on him. I mean Mr. Williams ain't worth it."
They continued talking for a while until they reached the end of a street and parted ways. Leaving Yami and Yugi continuing walking. It was soundless for a while. The only thing actually being heard was the cars passing by.
"Yami, your coming later with us to watch a movie. Right?" asking as Yugi looked at his brother.
"Yugi, I can't today. We already agreed on tomorrow."
"But you barely hang out with us," as Yugi looked down.
"I hang out with you Yugi."Yami said as he kept looking forward.
"Yeah but not with all of us... Never mind we'll hang around tomorrow like we agreed."
6.6.6
"Yami, I'm going out!" Yugi yelled as he headed towards the door.
Yami replied Yugi by telling him to be careful. Yugi left, as for Yami's Grandpa it didn't take him long enough to leave as well. Yami's grandfather was heading to go out and eat with an old friend that had arrived yesterday. Leaving Yami alone.
Yami came downstairs and heard the phone ring as he picked up, "Hello?"
"Yeah...Yeah they left... Alright but fast...What do you mean your already here vato(3)?" Yami walked towards his door to open it.
"What's up Smiley(4)?" Yami's friend said.
"Come in, Snapper." Yami said as he hung up the phone. They both sat down in the couch.
"Alright were you wanna do it?" Snapper said as he ran one of his hands through his brown hair.
"Well, let's got to the park that's by your pad(5). It's pretty empty so no one will go there." Yami replied.
"Damn foo your old school, but alright lets go." Snapper said as he stood up.
Yami grabbed his jacket and his keys and both left just as Yami locked the house. They both got in Snapper's black Cadillac Escalade. They both were listning to one of Snapper's CDs.
"Damn Vato, nice ride." Yami said as Snapper turned the song down and made a turn.
"Thanks, I got it from my cousin." Snapper replied not taking his eyes off the road. It went back to them lisiting to the music. They both shifted from their seats as they arrived to the park by Snapper's house. It was really quiet and, as Yami said earlier, empty.
They both got out of the car and went to sit down at a bench.
"So, you wanna do it here?" Snapper asked Yami.
"Yeah. Let's hurry though." Yami said as Snapper took out something from his pocket. Revealing a little bag and a lighter inside. Snapper opened the bag and they could smell it. They knew that it was the good thing. Snapper then from his other pocket took out what looked like a pipe.
"Nice pipe homes." Yami said with no expression what so ever on his face. Snapper prepared the whole thing. He, then, put on the end of the pipe to his mouth. He lighted the leaf like stuff and inhaled it. He passed it to Yami."Go Smiley!" said Snapper as he saw Yami inhaling after he had taken his own hit. Yami soon let the grayish smoke light thing come out of his mouth. "Yeah, Yeah." Yami said this rapidly as he knew he was getting high...(6)

It had been awhile since the sun had set outside of the huge mansion. The people that lived in it were quiet people. This was the house of the Kaibas.
Kaiba had been in his office typing up a report on Kaiba Corp. It had been quiet, too quiet Kaiba thought. He finished typing a last thing on his report before closing his laptop and decided to head downstairs. When he got downstairs he checked the kitchen, no one. Then decided to check one of the few living rooms in his house, still no one.
Where's Mokuba? Kaiba thought. He shrugged his shoulder's thinking his younger brother must be in his room. He came to a conclusion too soon. As a hyper active boy turned from a corner to spray his older brother with a water gun.
"Yeah! I got you!" right then the younger Kaiba knew he should make a run for it, as he saw a really pissed of Kaiba.
"Mokuba..."Kaiba stared very calmly, not trying to loose his temper. He looked away with his eyes closed and with one finger stared to point way.
"Seto, I'm so sorry. I-" the little black- haired boy was cut off by his older brother.
"Mokuba go to your room."Kaiba said still trying to be calm. Mokuba was about to say something when his brother lost it, to yell, "Now!"
With this demand, Mokuba went upstairs with the water gun at his side and his head down.
6.6.6
After spending a few minutes with Snapper getting high they had to leave. It was good that no car had passed by. Snapper had taken Yami home. Now Yami was at home bored and the worst part of it is he had the munchies.
Yami decided to check the fridge and nothing good. He knew no one else would be home till later. I mean it didn't take him long what he had done with Snapper at the park. So, Yami decided to go out and buy something to eat. Mistake though because he was still somewhat high.
He didn't really think about it though and left outside. Walking to the nearest store.
Yami was actually good, though, at hiding the fact he was high he had done it some times so he got use to it. Don't get it wrong though Yami wasn't any pothead. He only smoked from time to time. This had been the time he done it again since a couple of weeks ago. Of, course back then it might had been a little different.
After Yami got out the store he started eating his chips and soda. To him they tasted so good as though he hadn't eaten in awhile. Maybe do to effects. He passed a park that was also pretty empty, maybe do to the fact everyone was out on a Friday night.
Just as Yami was kinda done with his chips he threw the bag away as well as the soda, walking into the park. Then, Yami saw some swings and decided to go over to them. He sat down on one and started to swing back and forth. Then he started to swing a little faster. He could sort of feel a breeze against his face and could smell the smell of the beginnning of autumn . He closed his eyes and then thats when he remember something from his childhood.
Flash Back
"Push me higher Benji!" yelled the young tri-colored boy.
"No Benji, push me!" said the younger of the tri-colored boy's.
"Now both of you calm down. I'll push one then the other." Benjamin said with a laugh.
The older of the tri- colored boys said he could push his brother first. He could see his younger brother laughing. It made the older boy much happy. He liked the fact that his younger brother was enjoying his time with him and Benjamin. I mean this was better then Yugi being at home with dad.
Just as Benjamin told the younger boy it was his brother's turn. He went over behind the older boy and started pushing him. The older of the kids could feel the wind and the sun's shinning against his face. He could smell the summer breeze, the fresh air. He smiled and hoped it could be like this forever...
End Flash Back
Yami was opened his eyes as he was till swinging back and forth and could see just the moon above him. He thought for a minute, Just a memory that's all.
Yami soon stopped swinging as he heard the rustling of leafs behind him.
He looked around and saw a slide and saw someone run towards it. Yami got up and prepared himself thinking it was someone who wanted to jump him. Just as he quickly looked inside the slide he saw a small sad boy that was sitting at the very top of the slide. The boy looked up at Yami with scared eyes.
"What are you doing here?"Yami asked as he looked at the boy not younger then his own brother. The boy stayed quiet. Yami sat down next to him and the boy scooted away a little. Yami got closer and with his index finger he put it to the boys forehead and pushed it causing the boy to fall and slide down the slide in surprise. Yami didn't know why he had done that, maybe do the fact his high wasn't fully gone. Yami started laughing, he knew he shouldn't though it was really rude. The boy, however, started laughing as well.
Yami went towards the boy and stopped laughing, just as the boy did too.
"No really, you shouldn't be here. I mean you could get kidnapped." Yami told the young black haired boy.
"But your here too. I mean your shouldn't be here either." protested the younger boy.
"Yeah, but I can defend myself."Yami said. It was quiet for a while until Yami moved to the side and asked the boy for his name.
"Mokuba, you?" replied and asked the black haired kid.
"I'm Yami. But really kid you should be at your house."
"I'm not a kid. If you don't happen to know I'm sixteen." Mokuba said as he pointed his finger at Yami.
Well he sure act's like a kid, Yami thought. Yami put his head to the side, "Why are you out here? If I may ask."
"I kinda got in a fight with my brother Seto because I had squirt him with a water gun." Mokuba said guiltly.
"Your Kaiba's brother?" Yami asked as his eyes grew wide.
Mokuba nodded. Yami thought of Kaiba for a moment he remember a few weeks ago when they had been assigned partners. Kaiba and him had to write a quick summary on one of the ten topics on the board in Math. He remember it didn't go well. Kaiba was too quiet and every time he'd tell them they had to write it together he would continue and write. Yami could have stood up and punched him at how he was acting. However, he knew he would look like an idiot and to make thing's worse he had been high when they were doing the assignment. He didn't want to get caught.
"Earth to Yami."Mokuba said, snapping his fingers in front of Yami.
"What?" Yami asked dumbly not knowing he had really spaced out.
"I have been talking to you for a while and you just stared off to space."
"My bad." Yami said with an sorry look. It was quiet just as Yami then spoke again.
"Why did you squirt your brother with a water gun?" Yami asked as he raised a brow.
"I don't know. I did have sugar earlier so maybe," Mokuba not wanting to admit it, "Was a little hyper. But I mean I'm scared to go home Nisama is mad."
Yami smiled at the kid and remembered when Yugi would do things like that too. Causing him to get mad however he'd always feel guilty and somehow they'd apologize to each other.
"Well he's gonna be furious that you left the house with out his permission."Yami said with a serious look now.
"Yeah I know that, now. Wait how you know I left the house without his permission?"
"I mean come on, like your brother let you go alone to a park at night. Were, like I said before, you can get kidnapped."Yami said as he began walking out of the park with Mokuba following to his side.
"Oh, yeah huh."
"Yeah."
"But still I'm scared now a lot more."Mokuba told Yami.
"Okay, how about we agree on this. I'll go with you to your house so I can talk to your brother," if that's possible Yami thought. "and you wont do this again. Deal?" Yami I added.
Mokuba thought for a while and agreed.
As they both walked quietly to the Kaiba Mansion. Yami looked to his side and saw it was really empty. Maybe we should have gone through another street ,Yami began thinking. As they kept walking Yami could feel someone following him and Mokuba. He stopped, and looked back causing Mokuba to stop as well and look back to see what Yami was looking at. Yami saw a shadow and right then knew someone was following them.
"Mokuba," Yami whispered. "Hold my hand."
"Why?" Mokuba asked in surprise.
"Just do it."
Just as soon as Mokuba grabbed Yami's hand they saw two people pop out.
"Well, Well. Were do you two think your going?" said one man dressed in brown baggy clothes.
"Yeah, you just can't walk into our barrio with no reason." said the other man also dressed in baggy clothes however a bandana at his forehead.
"Calmados(7). I didn't know this is your guys kicking spot." Yami said as he stepped back.
"Well now you do." said the man without the bandana, stepping forward.
Yami turned around and started running as the other two followed behind. Yami kept running trying to keep a good grip on Mokuba's hand. Yami knew he had to think quick if he was gonna lose these guys. That when he turned a street into an alley and saw a porch with a fence around it. He tried helping Mokuba quick by jumping into the porch soon following him. He knew he was tress passing and could get arrested. But he knew if he would have tried taking those two, Mokuba would have gotten hurt. He knew those people carry all sort of weapons on them.
Just as Yami and Mokuba heard them pass by he looked down at Mokuba. Who was solid still. He then looked up as he saw a light, turn on through the curtains. He quickly made Mokuba hop back over the porch fence and he soon followed. A man came out screaming and Yami told Mokuba to hush and duck down. Both leaning against the porch. The man walk to the porch's fence and looked around to see nothing he shrugged his shoulders and went back inside.
Yami let out a deep breath and stood up. He helped Mokuba stand up and headed back to the main street. They both walked closely to each other, just in case.
"That was just scary."Mokuba said breaking the silence. Yami had been thinking that he was glad he and Mokuba had gotten away.
"Yeah." Yami replied.
With that they both walked towards the Kaiba mansion...
