Okay yesterday didnt go well for Bakura or the others at all, but hell,its a new day isnt it?

"Yami, Ive been thinking.." Yugis soft voice came out as a little whisper in the dark lit room above the game shop. Yami was sitting in a chair trying to figure out how to get away from babysitting Bakura next time as he had already three blue marks on his arm, a flesh wound on his thigh (Dont ask how it got there ) and a scratch underneath his left eye that looked pretty ugly. "What is it aibou? Is something wrong?"

"No..its just that.." Yugi shuffled on the bed making room for his other self to sit beside him. Yami didnt question,he just got out of the chair and sat down. Yugis eyes searched out his and he began." Ive been monitoring a friends rehability these past months...and to be released fully he has to live with somebody for at least a month. And I said he could live with us." His eyes dropped to the floor not wanting to see the fury in the Yamis face.

"You want ALISTER to live with us? Dont you remember those hideous things he did!?" Yami yelled, holding his fist in the cover of the bed,trying to stop himself for punching something.

"Hes better now Yami. Hes sorry for all he did under the pressure from Dartz.You cant really blame him though, he thought Kaibas step dad killed his little brother, when it really was Dartz. "

"I dont want him in my house anyhow Yugi!"

This time it was Yugis voice filled with anger who spat: "Its not your house! Its mine and Im going to let him stay here a while because hes my friend and I like him." The smack of a palm meeting soft venerable flesh echoed in the room the instant Yugi said those words. Yugis eyes where huge, looking up to his Yami filled with disbelief. Yami just stared back taking in what just had accured.He had hit his precious hikari...his aibou. What the hell was he thinking?

" Y-Yami.. " Yugis eyes swammed over with small tears, dropping down on the bed and staining it. Yamis heart skipped a beat while looking down on the angel he had bruised. How could he harm his light, whom he had sworn to protect?

"Oh Ra...Im so sorry aibou..I just..I didnt mean it..." He reached for his light, holding him close to his chest.His own eyes was filled to the brim of tears but he held them in. "Without your light to keep me pure, Ill become evil Yugi." Those where nearly the exact words he had said three years before, in a different situation and place,but Yami had the feeling they had an important meaning right now. A soft sigh beneath him relieved him, his precious had stopped crying. " I love you to much to make you cry. Forgive me. I was a fool to even think of touching you like that. I want to protect you from people like me."
Yugi cringed a little in his arms, trying to get himself loose from his other selfs grip. Yami whined like a puppy who has lost his mother when Yugi suddenly pulled away from him, getting to his feet and then throwing him a pillow instead.

" I cant handle this right now, well...just..talk tomorrow okay? I think Ryou would let you stay at his and Bakuras place until then." his voice was shaky, trying to hold back tears. "Dont even speak, I want to be alone, and I know I wouldnt let you go now if you even breath a single word."
His Yamis voice affected him more then any porno movie could do.
Yami nodded slowly, if Yugi wanted him to go, he would oblige, after all..it was his fault. Yugi just wanted to help Alister and being a good friend. And all he did himself was being an ass and hitting his soulmate in the face.

"So he kicked you out huh?" Bakuras grin told Yami he wasnt feeling bad for him at all. They sat in the livingroom while Ryou had gone to the kitchen to make some tea for them all to drink. Yami had showed up at their doorstop, looking awful with his black eyeliner making a thick black trace down his chin and his eyes looked dim. A suprised Ryou had gotten him to tell them what happened and he was shocked to hear that Yami had striked Yugi. Yami himself was sitting in the couch staring blank at the tvs black screen. " I hit him."

"Yes you said that, but hell! doesnt that kid take any beating? Geez...I thought the kid would be used to it by now." Yami glared at him but didnt respond."Come,on Pharaoh, youre fucking royalty! The kid should be on his knees, begging you to fuck him!" To match his point he grabbed Ryou who had just returned with the tea and kissed him sloppy on the mouth while pushing his hand underneath the poor boys shirt. "See? This is what you have to do! Be a little rough with him,hell I bet hell love it even. "

" I dont want to hurt him anymore then I have. unlike you, I have a heart."

Ryou blushed madly when his Yami finally let him go. " Kura that was mean! You get to sleep on the sofa and Yami gets your bed as punishment for doing that to me!"

"HEY! I was showing my point here! Damn hikari! Now I have to burn my bed..."

Bakura growled and mumbled more to himself while Yami, who was dealing with the "loss" off his shared bedroom and Yugi was sipping some tea with Ryou counseling him some advice on how to approach Yugi the next day. Not that Yami did listen so much to it. Ryou was a good friend and all, but he was so annoying at times like these.
" Just be nice to him and tell him how much you love him, Im sure hell forget about it."
Yami shifted his posture in the couch. "Im not so sure,he trusted me."

" ARRGH...YOU SUCK PHARAOH! And you to hikari!" Bakura outburst,standing up and pointing at them. "Faith there,and love that, and dont come with that destiny crap to!"
Yami rolled his eyes,looking at him with his trademark calm. " Its my destiny to be with Yugi."

"YOU DIDNT JUST SAY THAT WORD!"
