I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH

Yami led Yugi inside and sat him down on the couch. He grabbed a bowl of cold water, a rag, and some bandages before he sat in front of Yugi.

"Do you mind if I use some of my charms?"

"No, go ahead."

Yami gave a nod of his head and dipped the cloth in the water.

"Hold this up to your cheek." Yugi grabbed the cloth out of his hand and placed it on his bruise. Yugi winced at first as it hurt a little, but it died down after awhile. Then he saw Yami cut his thumb so it bleed.

"Why did you cut yourself?" Yugi asked with wide eyes

Yami lifted his gaze to look at Yugi but brought his gaze back to his thumb.

"It's a charm," he grabbed Yugis cut wrist and placed his thumb over the cut "if a person who practices magic puts their blood over a wound, it will heal faster." he started to slowly rub his thumb over the wound. Yugi winced but stayed still.

"Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Yugi shook his head quickly and subconciously moved his hand over the bruise on his stomach. Yami noticed this and moved to lift up Yugis shirt.

"I'm fine." Yugi replied, moving away causing pain to shook through his stomach.

"Yugi, I at least have to check."

"It doesn't hurt- ow!" Yami had placed his hand over Yugis and pushed.

"Yeah, let me see."

A blush dusted Yugis cheeks as he slowly lifted his shirt revealing a dark purple and blue bruise on his stomach. If you looked closer, you could see where the skin was close to breaking.

"It's not that bad. Just let me put a special oil on it to help it heal." Yami said

He grabbed a small metal jar from a near by table and opened the lid. Inside was a cream-oil looking mixture that was slightly transparent. Yami dipped his fingers in and pulled them out when they were completely covered. Yugi winced a bit when Yami started to rub the oil over the bruise.

"I'm sorry. I was just worried because you hadn't come home and... I just wasn't thinking, I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I really shouldn't have been gone that long." Yami lifted his eyes to look at Yugis

The two stared at each other, crimson locked on amethyst. As the time continued, a dark red blush krept on Yugis face. Yugi was so mezmorized by the stunning crimson that he didn't notice the two were moving closer together. It wasn't until they were an inch apart that Yugi noticed they were getting closer and moved back. Yami removed his hand and sat back when Yugi moved away. In the awkward silence that followed, Yugi remembered the memory he had.

"Hey Yami? When... when we were out in the bushes... I got a memory."

Yami stiffened as if he already knew what the memory was. Yugi took a breath before continuing.

"I don't remember why I was hiding but... Did you know me? 10 years ago?"

Yami sighed "I had been passing by at the time and saw what was happening. When I saw you I did what I thought was best."

"What was happening that made you want to protect me?" from the memory, Yugi could tell something VERY bad happened.

Yami hesitated "That's best for you to find out later."

"You make it seem like it's murder." Yugi laughed but when Yami didn't, he stopped "Was it?" Yugi looked at Yami with a very worried look. Almost begging for an answer.

Yami was too deep in thought that he didn't hear either of Yugis comments. When Yugi asked again, Yami tried to think of a way to stop Yugi from thinking it was a murder. For now any ways.

"W-what? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

Yugi sighed in relief. There wasn't any murders. "Nothing."

Yami nodded once. Even though Yugi needed to know the truth, he wasn't ready. The truth for now would be a dark memory forgotten until the time was right.
