Max: Poor Yugi *cries*

Me: Sorry I took forever getting an update. I was major busy helping my mother change rooms around.

Me: Oh and Max?

Max: Yeah?

Me: Stop crying before you give the story away.

Max: Who cares? Yugi's in the hospital!

Me: *face palm* Enjoy the chapter even though Max kinda ruined some of it.

Chapter 2

The next day was worse than yesterday. Yugi was pushed, punched, laughed at, and even spit on. Yami wasn't fairing any better. He had been kicked, shoved and even had milk and juice dumped on his head at lunch. Kids everywhere were yelling names like "Freak" and "Fag". Yugi sat under a tree with Yami, Mai, and Tristan.

"I don't know how much more of this I can take," Yugi complained.

"Tell me about it. If I get called a freak one more time…"

"I'd say give it until the end of the week. By then no one will really care anymore," Tristan said.

Just then the bell rang and the four went their separate ways. Yugi headed to his locker, Tristan headed off to Gym, while Mai and Yami headed to Chemistry. Just as he was closing his locker and heading to English, Joey appeared out of nowhere and slammed him against the lock ers.

"I should kick your ass."

"Joey, let go," Yugi whimpered.

"Why should I? Because of you and your sick brother, Mai broke up with me."

"That…wasn't…my…fault," Yugi panted.

"Yes, it was. If I was you, I'd watch my back. Now you have me to look out for," Joey said letting go of Yugi and walking away.

Yugi hurried and grabbed his books and ran to class. He apologized to the teacher for being late and took a seat in the back.

"Hey, Yugi."

Yugi turned and saw Ryan sitting next to him. Just great.

"What are you doing here?" He whispered. "I thought you were expelled."

"Back on good behavior. Mom told Mr. Bennett that I had nowhere else to go. And I will be seeing you after school."

Yugi groaned. He really didn't need his ass kicked anymore that day.

The rest of the day went kinda smoothly. No one had punched him or called him a freak so he was happy. He just wanted to get home and curl under the covers. After school he ran to the parking lot expecting to see Yami waiting for him, but Yami wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Yugi?"

Yugi turned around to see Mai heading to her car.

"Hey, Mai."

"Hey, Yami told me to tell you that he was staying after to work on a project. You wanna lift home?"

Yugi shook his head, "No thanks, I think I'll wait."

Mai nodded, "Okay, see ya."

Yugi waved as Mai got in her car and drove away. Yugi stood by the car for a few minutes just daydreaming before heading back toward the school. Just as he was heading inside he was grabbed from behind. He struggled against his two attackers trying to kick them. His attackers took him behind the school and threw him on the ground in front of Ryan.

"Well, well, if it isn't the little fag. Know what I heard? I heard that not only are you a fag, but that you like fucking your older brother. See, that kind of stuff we don't like here," Ryan said then turned to his buddies. "Grab him. We're gonna teach him a little lesson."

Two of Ryan's thugs grab Yugi and held him while Ryan and the others took turns punching, kicking, and slapping him. Soon the thugs dropped him on the ground. Yugi whimpered and tried to stand but one of the thugs kicked him in the ribs causing him to fall. Yugi knew he was losing consciousness, he could tell by the way everything had black spots around them. He needed to get to Yami and fast. He tried crawling away but Ryan kicked him in the shin.

"Where do you think you're going? We're not done with you, yet," he said and nodded to one of his thugs.

Yugi felt the guy tearing at his pants and he tried to stop him.

"Please, stop, please," Yugi whined.

Ryan just laughed as his buddy tore off Yugi's pants and boxers, "So you like fucking, huh? Something tells me you're gonna enjoy this then," he snickered as he thrust hard into Yugi causing the boy to scream.

It was 4:30 when Yami decided to head home. Mai had texted him earlier telling him that Yugi decided to stay at the school and wait for him, but Yami didn't see him all afternoon. Maybe he got tired of waiting and walked home. He got in the car and drove home. He entered the shop to see his grandfather helping a customer.

"Yami? Where's Yugi?" Solomon asked after his customer left.

"He's not here?"

Solomon shook his head.

"I thought…shit!" Yami said heading back out the door and into the car.

Yami drove all the way back to the school. Luckily the janitor was still there.

"Have you seen a kid around here? He looks just like me although shorter."

The janitor shook his head and went back to sweeping. Yami exited the school building and went to check the side of the building where they usually would have lunch outside. No Yugi. He checked the field where they have outside gym classes. No Yugi. Yami pulled out his cell and dialed Yugi's number. He heard the faint ring and walked toward the ringing. He noticed that it was coming from behind the school.

"Oh my god! Yugi!" Yami screamed seeing his brother unconscious on the ground.

Yami noticed that Yugi was naked from the waist down and there was blood everywhere. He gently turned his brother over and saw the damage. He had a black eye, a bruised and bloodied lip, his shirt was torn, and he had bruises on his chest. Yami placed his hand over Yugi's lips and felt a shallow breath. He sighed. Thank goodness he's still alive.

Yami gently lifted his brother in his arms and ran to the car. He gently laid Yugi in the backseat and got behind the wheel and sped to the hospital. HH He got to the hospital within twenty minutes. Screaming for help, he gently lifted his brother out the backseat.

"Yami?"

Yami looked up from where he had his head in his hands and saw his grandfather, Mai and Tristan.

"How is he?" Tristan asked.

Yami shrugged, "Don't know. No one came out yet."

"He'll be fine, Yami, don't you worry," Mai smiled.

Yami shook his head, "You didn't see him, Mai. He was so beaten and bloody. It's all my fault."

"No, it's Joey's fault. He promised Yugi that he would keep y'all's secret and he didn't. If anyone's to blame it's him and Tea."

"No, it's mine. I should've stood my ground. I never should've given into him."

Just then a doctor came into the waiting room and Solomon went over to him.

"How is he doc?"

"Not so good, I'm afraid. Besides the multiple bruising, he has several broken ribs, which caused one of his lungs to rupture. We've had to do surgery to repair his lung. He also has a broken nose and…" The doctor hesitated.

"…And?" Yami prodded.

"Forgive me, I usually don't like giving families all of the things wrong with a patient, but there is one thing I hate telling them more than anything else because it causes so much hurt."

"What is it, doc? Seriously, spit it out."

"Yugi was raped. Multiple times."

Everyone gasped. Solomon sat down very suddenly. Yami put his head in his hands while Tristan and Mai tried to comfort him.

"I am sorry."

"May-may we see him?" Yami asked.

The doctor nodded, "Of course. I gave him some medicine for the pain so he may be a little out of it."

The four followed the doctor to Yugi's room. Yugi looked so small and pale. He had a tube that went into his nose, another tube down his throat, an IV in his arm and what the doctor called a catheter in his side. On one of his fingers was something that measured his heart rate. Yami couldn't take it. He ran from the room and cried.

Yami felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Mai standing there. Mai didn't speak just pulled him into a hug. Yami just cried and cried.
