Yugi, who had a look of tiredness and pain came down stairs and saw six faces look up at him. The kids from school were there sitting with his grandfather who was the first to speak

"There's a glass of water for you in the kitchen." He said. Yugi nodded a thank you a disappeared into the kitchen. Every time this happened Yugi usually calmed down more after a glass of water, he didn't know why but it helped and it made him feel better. He walked back out to see everyone looking at the floor. Noticing all the seats were taken he took a seat on the floor in front of the TV. They all sat in silence for awhile until Yugi got the nerve to ask

"What happened? To Ushio I mean." The question had been eating at him since he sat down and to his surprise it was Jounochi who answered.

"Well," he began "After you bit Ushio in the arm and after you blacked out…."

Flashback

"Yugi!" they all started running, knowing that Ushio was going to kill him for what he just did. When they got there they saw Ushio holding an unconscious Yugi by the collar.

"Let him down!" Atem shouted but Ushio just snickered. This is what urged Atem to do what he did next. He jumped on the fence and then launched himself off kicking Ushio square in the back of the head making him drop the unconscious teen who they quickly picked up and started running. When they finally stopped they were far from Ushio and his thugs but were lost somewhere in downtown Domino. Yugi was still unconscious and they were pondering on what to do.

"Anzu it was your idea to have him walk home with us shouldn't you know where he lives?" Atem asked. Anzu thought then pulled out a small a small notepad and started flipping through it. She stopped near the middle of the book and said

"He lives in the Kame game shop on the intersection. About a mile from school." Atem who was looking at her confused said

"Okay, so we know where he lives but does anyone know where that is." They all looked down then Ryou perked up and said

"I know where that is. I could probably find my way from here." They looked at him a look of doubt on their face. Ryou wasn't the best at giving directions but then he started walking and they decided to trust him. About twenty minutes later they were there and explaining what happened to his grandfather.

End Flashback

Yugi just looked at them. He couldn't figure out why they had helped him. Then Jounochi started talking again

"And for payment for us saving you, you have to hang out with us for a year." He said, a goofy grim on his face. Yugi just stared. Were they serious? As if sensing his thoughts Honda said

"Or you can pay us each 35000 yen(1)." He could tell they were joking and they were trying to be nice but before he could answer his grandfather agreed to their offer first saying

"He accepts. Sorry Yugi but you really need to get out more other than just school and friends aren't a bad thing." Yugi nodded his head

"Thank you everyone." He said then he saw Atem wink at him and give him a thumbs up.

"Don't worry about it. Besides who else is going to protect you from Ushio." Yugi smiled. He stared at the window thinking what his mom would have thought if she was still alive and saw his new friends. Then Atem started knocking on his head again and they all laughed like the friends they were. Friends. Yugi thought. I have friends.

Don't worry this isn't the end, its actually sort of the beginning. And for those of you who read the last chapter I want to apologize my sister switched my Sprite with a Mountain Dew and I was on a caffeine high. So sorry about that.
