Back at Michael's apartment Yugi was tied and gagged back in the same place he was earlier that day except he was hung by his fractured wrist instead of hung by a noose. Yugi tried to loosen the ropes around his wrists, but his father had tied them so tightly around his wrists that it was starting to cut into his unbandaged wrist.

Yugi stopped when he heard a crash followed by cursing and laughter. Michael entered the bathroom with two strippers in each arm. Yugi knew the girls because they were the only ones who really cared about him. They were the twins Gem and Ini.

Whenever his dad would go on one of his so called business trips they would come over and check on him. Bringing him stuff that he needed that he was unable to get for the stores were too far away and he didn't have enough money for food and a taxi.

"Well ladies what do you think of my work." The girls gasped when they saw Yugis skinny body hanging in the bathtub. "Why would you do such a thing to him?" Gem stepped up to Yugi to untie him when Ini suddenly screamed out in terror causing Gem to turn and see what her sister was screaming about only to gasp at the sight of a gun pointed straight towards her.

"Don't you dare put a hand on him. If you do I'll put a bullet in his head." Gem turned back towards Yugi with fear for the young boy in her eyes. "I'm sorry." Gem turned away from Yugi and ran over to her frightened younger twin to comfort her.

"You disgust me. Treating your only son like trash. Why would you do such a thing?!" Gem gasped when Michael pointed the gun towards her. "If you don't shut up and get out then you'll be leaving here in a body bag." Gem growled deeply then turned to leave only to look back once more to see tears start to flow from Yugis eyes.

Gem had an idea to get Yugi out of his fathers grasp, but she had to make sure that Michael wasn't watching. Gem mouthed to Yugi that she was going to get him out of there no matter what happened. Yugi nodded only to start squirming when his dad started to raise his gun.

"I thought I told you to get out!" Michael bypassed him and pointed the gun towards the ceiling and shot off a few rounds scarring Yugi, Gem, Ini and once again the elderly woman from next door, who was in the middle of watching her soaps.

"Please don't tell me that good for nothing dead beat dad is back in that apartment shooting at flies again." The elderly woman picked up her phone and called the police.

Outside the apartment building the police had pulled up when they got the call. "Looks like Michael is back at the scene of the crime." Yami turned to Max confused.

"What do you mean he's at the scene of the crime? Wouldn't he be at Titty Tuesday's?" Max nodded then pointed to his radio attached to his shirt. "I know, but I just got a call and they told me that the previous occupant who had called the police called and said that Michael had returned to the apartment and from what they said 'shooting at flies' means that he is armed."

Yami looked up at the apartment building watching as shadows danced on closed curtains. "Hang in there Yugi we're coming to get you."

Back in the apartment Yugi was going in and out of consciousness from loosing blood from new and old wounds. "Who knew you were such a big baby when it came to being punished."

Yugi gasped for air feeling tears roll down his sore face as his fathers grip around his throat tightened. "You're never going to get away with this." Michael grinned evilly, but his smile faded when he heard a knock at the door.

"Who the hell is knocking at my door at this time of year." Michael left the room allowing Yugi to catch his breath. Michael opened the door only to bite his lip when he met the eyes of Gem. "Well what brings you back to my humble abode."

Gem smiled hoping that her plan would work. " I just came back to see your fabulous work once more before I headed back to work." Michel continued to bite his lip looking Gem up and down. "We'll why don't you and your sister come in."

Gem giggled. "My little sister is not worthy enough to see such fine work from such a...fine man." Gem knew that Michael couldn't resist her seductive voice and knew that he was putty in her hands. Michael started to make his way to the bathroom with Gem in tow when she stopped him and started to rub her fingers through his greasy hair.

"Why don't we take care of a little business before we go see your work." Michael smiled evilly. "I like how you think. Why don't we head to the master bedroom and take care of business." Michael once again started to head for the bathroom before Gem stopped him.

"Not there!" Michael turned to Gem with a confused look on his face. "I mean...not in there. Lets go to Yugis room and take care of business. That way when he is done with his punishment he can clean up your punishment." Michael grinned and took Gem over his shoulder and ran to Yugis room.

Gem looked up to see Yugi and smiled. She mouthed to him 'it is going to be okay we have a plan' to comfort Yugi. Yugi nodded and closed his eyes breathing a sigh of relief when he suddenly jumped when someone touched his shoulder.

Yugi looked up and noticed that it was Yami in a bullet proof vest. "Yugi it's okay we are going to get you out of here and away from that man." Yugi nodded tears flowing from his eyes when his eyes suddenly widened when he noticed Michael standing behind Yami with a gun pointed at his head.

"Touch him and die." Yami moved his hands away from Yugi and raised them showing that he was going to comply. Michael grinned and was about to turn the safety off on the gun when Gem jumped on his back screaming and clawing at his face.

"Hurry and get Yugi out!" Yami nodded and freed Yugi. Once he was freed he dropped to his knees unable to move them. "Yugi come on we need to get out of here." Yugi looked up and was about to speak when a sudden scream caused Yugi and Yami to turn towards the source.

Gem had been thrown off Michael who was trying to get his gun back from underneath the couch. Yami growled knowing that if Michael got the gun back it would be the end for all of them. Yami charged towards Michael as he stood making contact with the grown mans back sending the both of them into the coffee table.

Gem sat up wiping the blood off her lip when she noticed Yami try and stop Michael from using the gun. She ran towards Yugi and helped him to his feet when they suddenly heard the gun go off followed by a cry of pain.

The two looked up and gasped when Yami was on the ground holding his bloodied hand and trying to get away from Michael. "Now to finish you off then take care of that worthless son of mine!" Michael aimed at Yami and slowly started to pull the trigger.

Yugi couldn't take any more and with his last bit of strength ran over to Yami and Michael and jumped between Yami and the barrel of the gun. "Nooo!" As soon as Yugi was in front of the gun it went off the bullet hitting him in the chest.

Gem screamed out in horror as Yugi fell to the ground in a heap. Yami growled deeply feeling his rage growing inside him. Michael chuckled then turned his attention back to Yami, but as he pulled the trigger his gun jammed up from the previous shell casing not allowing him to finish the job.

Yami pulled out a gun he had hidden on his person and aimed it at Michael. "Die you good for nothing son of a..." Before Yami could finish Michael charged forward and with that Yami pulled the trigger shooting Michael between the eyes killing him on contact and sending him flying onto the couch.

Yami dropped the gun and took Yugis limp body into his arms tears falling from his eyes and onto Yugis pale face. Suddenly the door came crashing down as the police, as well as the others, came running in.

Grandpa and the others came up to Yami only to gasp and turn away from the tragic scene. Ini ran up to her sister and comforted her. "I can't believe that Yugi is gone. He sacrificed himself to save Yami."

Grandpa stepped forward and placed his hand on Yamis shoulder causing him to gasp and look up at him with tears flowing heavily from his eyes. "Grandpa...sniff...Grandpa?" Grandpa was about to speak when a soft moan followed by a small whimper come from the body in Yamis lap.

Yami turned to meet a pair of amethyst eyes that were slowly filling with tears. "Ya...mi?" Yamis eyes widened and a smile came across his face. "Yugi? Yugi I can't believe that you're alive!" Yami brought

Yugi in for a hug only to yelp when Yugi squeezed his shot hand. "Careful Yugi I got shot in the hand." Yugi took Yamis blood covered hand and frowned, but as he was about to speak his hand grew limp and fell to his side.

"Yugi? Yugi?!" Yami picked up Yugi biting his lip through the pain and ran out of the room to the awaiting ambulance outside.
