It's In Your Eyes
Chapter 6
Author Notes: Now we get into more chaos. Ahhh I love it~ For the record this starts in what was going on with Yami before the ending of last chappy~
And now to thank people who have supported the story. Steella-The-Huskey, SoccerNavyBrat02(And faved~) KitNyx and Selena Moonlighty have followed. Dark Yugi and Guest gave me more nice reviews! I do not own Yugioh!
P.S...there were a crap ton of mistakes in this chapter so it has been re-edited. Things are fixed, some things are added. Ahem...Apologies for my stupidity...
3rd P.O.V
"Achoo!" His sneezing nearly sent him backwards onto his pillow. He sniffled, trying to get air to flow smoothly through his nostrils, but it just wasn't happening. "Don't even try getting out of bed brother. Your temperature is quite high." Yami rolled his eyes.
Feeling irritation as his older sibling Atem was fussing over the thermometer and his symptoms. Atem Shades was only 3 years older then Yami, and yet the 20 year old was acting like a concerned mother hen. Of course Yami couldn't blame him, as their parents barely sent them a glance their direction.
Too worried about making money to bother caring for their sons. So when Atem got a hold of his cousin and asked to pick them up and bring them to Japan, Yami couldn't say yes fast enough.
So here they were, in a cozy apartment, living the bachelor life with the younger of the two dealing with a cold. "Now I want you to take your medicine and get some rest."
Ruby met somewhat dulled crimson. "Yes. Is it ok if a friend of mine comes over? I need my assignments and we planned on chatting and maybe playing some games." Atem had an internal battle with his decision, knowing that no one should be visiting.
But Yami defended himself well with the schoolwork excuse. Not to mention. It would've been considered rude for his brothers classmate to be kicked out after kindly handing over Yami's papers. With a sigh the tanned responsible sibling relented. Causing Yami to smirk in victory.
Before blowing his aching red nose into a tissue. Slowly time ticked on. Between eating soup, napping and coughing mucus out of his system, it was easy to see that Yami was bored out of his mind, so he contemplated he and his sibling to pass the time.
If not for the height and colored skin, many would've thought Atem and Yami were twins. As they had the same facial features, same hair, had nearly identical colored eyes. Heck they even acted similar.
Although Yami was far more willing to throw more punches. He was the delinquent of the two, wearing leather, having a hot temper. Sometimes being arrogant with just the right person.
Atem was more rational. Preferred fighting people by doing mind games and unlike his modernized sibling wore more traditional clothing of his home country. Even now as he works online for his cousin Kaiba he wore traditional casual Egyptian wear.
Most people often would have to do a double take at his appearance. With a sigh Yami took a glance at the clock. Grinning when he saw that his mental musings paid off. It was just about time for school to end.
Yugi already had his address and a firm idea which apartment he lived in. Now all he had to do was wait a little longer and he'd finally have some company. Atem was downstairs getting dinner ready. Tonight was going to be canned soup and grilled cheese.
Since he hadn't been in the mood to order takeout or make something extravagant. Soon he found himself walking up the stairs and entering his brothers room.
Ignoring the depressing miasma covering the sick boy long enough long enough to place a small plate of grilled cheese and bowl of soup on the nightstand. "What's wrong?" Raising an eyebrow at Yami's odd behavior, he was even pouting for god sakes.
"Yugi isn't here yet." A quick look at the clock showed school got out about half an hour ago. "Maybe your friend is running late?" To be honest the older teen was surprised.
As Yami wasn't usually a social butterfly, yet here he was aching for a friend of his to come. 'Hopefully this Yugi guy gets here soon. I don't think I can handle Yami being depressed.' Hearing his brothers grunt, Atem took attention to the medicine(more like lack of...) and empty box of tissues.
"Did you seriously drain our cold medicine and tissue supply?" Not that there was a lot to begin with, as neither of them truly got sick a lot. Exasperated Atem started grabbing his belongings, saying he was heading to the store.
The moment he heard his brothers car drive away, Yami leaped out of bed. Stumbling slightly from dizziness. Quickly he dressed into his casual wear of a tank top, leather pants and short, slightly heeled boots. All black, all tight.
Grabbing his jacket he all but ran out the door. Something was wrong, he could feel it. Yugi was always one to be punctual, never liking to be tardy. He didn't know what, he didn't know how, but he could tell, Yugi was in trouble and that she would be found at the school.
Sweat was coursing down his head. His fever not helping him with making it to the school. It was becoming difficult for the ill teen to breath as he slowed his pace. He could barely hear the demonic statement.
"Seems you're a girl after all. With the lack of boobs I would've figured you as just a crossdresser. Let's see what else is under there." His eyes flashed, already familiar with the voice. Yami approached the side of the school.
The sight burned into his memory. Joey and Tristan badly hurt. Ushio's cruel smirk. 'Yugi.' She was bleeding, barely conscious as the oversized student ripped at her clothing. "No...Stop!" Her voice was all that he needed to hear.
He moved fast. Growling in rage as he grabbed the stupid man. Pulling him off his friend. Proceeding to beat him with an inch of his life. Ushio was in a state of shock as hard punches and kicks wailed on him.
Yami may not be one of the taller kids in Joey's class, but the tri-colored teen was one heck of a fighter. Using his speed and nimbility he was easily capable of dodging the jocks destructive blows. A hook kick to the stomach sent Ushio to the ground. Knocked out from the pain in a snap.
Panting Yami wiped the sweat off his forehead, blinking to refocus his vision. He immediately made his way to Yugi, guilt gnawed at his heart as he took in the sight of her.
Her shirt was in tatters, revealing her broken strapped bra. Her skirt was ripped, revealing a good portion of her left leg. On all the skin that showed was dark deep bruisings of blue and purple, some covered with the startling dark red color of blood.
"Yugi..." He placed a hand on her head, she flinched harshly, her trembling form barely able to make out Yami's features. "Y-Yami?" She was terrified, sobbing as she was led into his firm, warm chest. He rubbed soothing circles down her back as she cried.
Pulling out his phone, Yami called the police. Alerting them of an attempt rape and assault at the school. It didn't take long for the cops to show up, taking in the sight with disbelief. Yugi practically screamed when an officer approached her. Purple eyes wide and frantic.
Yami's calm, comforting voice being the only thing keeping her from going into hysterics. So you can imagine his rage when at the hospital the doctors and police tore the two apart, Yugi's only source of safety gone.
Desperately he fought to be at her side, seeing her in such a state was horrific. 'How could anyone do such a thing to her. Why does she have to go through this.' But he was forced to stay out in the waiting area. Stuck, unable to be by her side.
An annoying sound of bells caught his attention. Making him forget momentarily about his rage. Reaching into his jackets pocket he found his ringing cell phone, placing it against his ear.
"Hello-" He didn't even get a chance to finish before his elder brother blew up his phone. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" Yami winced as he pulled it away from his now deaf ear.
It was a couple minutes of hearing him rant before Yami decided to take a risk and hold it against the side of his head once more. "I'm at the hospital. I'll explain things when you get here." Before Atem could ask questions and threaten the ill boy, Yami snapped the phone shut. Closing his eyes in exhaustion.
to be continued!
