Do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything else!

Chan: Hi there! Long time no see! I've only just this second re-installed Microsoft word into my computer so I'm gonna get back on track with these stories!

Yami: -shrieks and bangs head on desk-

Chan: -removes the desk so he falls on the floor-

Yami: -laying on the floor-

Chan: yay! Piece and quiet! And now, to continue. Check out my profile if you wrote an anonymous review….. (Voice fades out).

Yami's P.O.V.

I wanted to yell out. I wanted to run into the room and pull Yugi away. I very nearly did until Anubis made a violent motion to me and yelled exactly what he'd do to me if I tried to warn Yugi. I won't repeat it, but it made me flush scarlet as I was led away with Bakura, Malik, Chan and Sabey. All in all, it wasn't as bad as I had expected….it was worse. Chan and Sabey already had seats next to each other near the front and Malik and Bakura quickly sat next to each other leaving only one space for me to sit. And I could see why it had been left empty. A group of the meanest looking people I had ever seen were sitting around it. All of them had leather jackets draped over the back of their chairs, they were all boys except for one girl yet they all had at least two piercings on their face, and that's not counting their ears.

My heart thudding, I made my way over to them. As I drew nearer they looked up, all of their faces pale with dark eyes to match their dark dyed hair were simply daring me to sit there. But what choice did I have? None. Almost as soon as I was sitting down, they leant together and began whispering. I sank lower into my seat in the hopes that I might just disappear. I had to sit near the same group for the first two lessons and in each they just sat and whispered. Anubis floated through the door half way through second lesson, my heart sinking even lower at the sight of him.

"Aww is my little Yami getting talked about?" he smirked, running one hand through my hair.

"Not yours…." I mumbled barley audible. A loud echoing laugh resounded round my head; surely someone else could hear it too.

"I think you'll find you ARE mine. But maybe I should make you wear a collar with a name tag so you don't forget." That shut me up.

"Yami?" at first I thought it was Anubis, until I glanced up and realised everyone was looking at me. "Yami, please try and pay attention." Sighed the teacher.

"I was sir…" I mumbled to my desk, not realising that this seemed cheeky.

"Well then perhaps you can tell us all the answer to the question?" my eyes focused on the board, but I didn't know the answer.

"Your school says that you did this last term, so come on, tell us the answer." That didn't help. The more I tried to think of what the answer was, the less I knew, and the more stupid I felt. Anubis was laughing and taunting me. Everyone in the class was watching me. I couldn't take looking at them so I lowered my head and began picking at a loose thread on the end of my sleeve and blanked the teacher's questions until he gave up and asked someone else.

"Aww, poor stupid little Yami." Said Anubis, sliding into the practically none existent space between me and what looked like the leader of the gang gathered around me. Anubis was pressed close against me but his arm was against the other boy. He shivered slightly like he could feel something and looked down, brushing at his sleeve with his hand as though knocking away a beetle. Even then he didn't look at me.

"Why should he look at you?" hissed the person only I could see. "No one will ever want you." Tears were building quickly in my eyes no matter how hard I struggled to keep them down. "That's why you're lucky I'm around." Now I was nearly laughing. The very idea of Anubis making me 'lucky' was outrageously funny. So outrageously funny that I felt a tear leak out of my eyes and roll down my cheek as the bell rang.

A heavy hand landed on my shoulder as I was getting ready to leave.

"Are you alright?" My heart was pounding as I looked up into the face of the boy who had been sitting next to me. The one who had shuddered when Anubis brushed against him.

"I-I'm f-fine…" I gasped out eventually. He and his friends were looking at me quite oddly.

"Leave him alone Andy!" Snapped the girl. "He's probably home sick." I couldn't get myself to calm down.

"I was only being nice!" snapped the boy who must be Andy. I left the group arguing over whether or not Andy should leave me alone and ran to the toilets to be sick. I made myself a little bit more sick than I actually was anyway. I was panicking already and I'd only had two lessons. I was glad there was a break until next lesson.

After being sick I checked to see if anyone else was around before resting my bag in the sink and getting out the tablets that I take. Anubis was flitting in and out of all the stalls, running all the taps at once and trying to find out away to block the sinks, reading all the rude messages scrawled on the walls and then he got a black marker pen out of my bag and wrote one of his own. I didn't dare look but I knew who it was about. Me.

"d-don't…" I begged. "Please stop it…." I took my bottle of water out from my bag.

"Why? People should know what kind of boy you really are." I didn't like the sound of that one bit. Placing the tablets in my mouth and washing them down with a mouthful of water I wondered over to check what he had written and scribble it out but he leant against the wall where he had written it so I couldn't see. I had to go to my next lesson feeling just as dreadful as I had before, the medication not working. It wasn't the first time. I'm only supposed to take two every five hours at the very most but I often take more. I know it's dangerous- my doctor is forever warning me that I might go into a coma, even die, if I overdose- but it makes me feel so much better if I just half 1 and a half more than I normally do. I took three more than I'm supposed to once. Well how was I supposed to know that I was going to have to have my stomach pumped if I did? I came very close to dieing that time. I sometimes think I really was trying to kill myself. No I wasn't. Yes I was. I'm not sure. I was certainly depressed but I think I was taking so many tablets to stop myself feeling depressed, not to kill myself.

It has never liked me taking the tablets. He says they are a waste of time and money. Just like me. He frequently hides them from me or stops me from taking them when I really need to. Even though they don't work sometimes I feel like I'll die without them. When Bakura took them off of me and was threatening to throw them away I could feel my heart rate going up and my breath catching in my lungs. My doctor has said many times that I should try and quit them. Or at least cutback and eventually I'll be able to stop altogether, and I've tried, I really have, but each time Anubis will do something so bad that I will be back taking them as often as possible within a week.

My mind was so wrapped up on other things that I had barely even started on the work when the teacher said that we could have a three minuet break in the middle of the lesson (Chan: we do this at my school). Anubis still wasn't back yet. Maybe I should go looking for him…he'd kill me. Maybe he was in Yugi's class…I really hope not. Maybe he was still writing messages abut me all over the school…that seemed more likely.

Hiding my hands under the desk I pushed up my sleeve to reveal the think bandages I had put over my cut arms before leaving the house. The edge of one of the bandages had came un-wound a little bit but just as I was tucking it under again, for the second time that day I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey Pharaoh." Bakura was standing over me. "What happened to your arms?" I pushed my sleeves down so quickly I banged my arms and yelped.

"Oh…err…I fell on barbed wire." OK not a very good excuse to make to someone who is currently living in the same house as you and has been with you all day. Bakura didn't think so either.

"When?" he frowned.

"Err…Before we left Domino." This was getting worse and worse every second.

"Then it'll be ok to take it off now." Bakura was right. I was the biggest liar in the world.

"Alright, back to your seats now!" the teacher yelled above the racket.

Lunch Time
I had an apple for lunch and that was it. After that I began to feel sick so I threw the core in the bin and had a sip of water from my bottle while heading for the toilets to spend the rest of lunch their; I don't like going outside. There was another reason for me going there. The message Anubis had written.

I very nearly died when I saw it. There, in unmistakable, bold, sprawling writing were these words:

Yami M is my whore.

There was a signature too, a single loopy A underneath it. At first I tried to wipe it off with my thumb, then with my spit. When that didn't work I tried water from the tap and soap. Still no luck. I finally tried scribbling it out with my own pen, but my pen couldn't write over it. Hot tears were building in my eyes, full of fear and rage. I wanted to cry in the way that little children cry when they know that no one in the world cares about them.

"Wow. You don't waste time do you?" Bakura was leaning over my shoulder to read the message.

"Don't!" I snapped standing up so that it was hidden behind me.

"I already saw." He sighed. "Malik told me. Marik and Ryou and Yugi have all seen it too." My heart sank through my shoes. "Who wrote it? Do you know?" I knew. Of course I knew. But I couldn't tell Bakura so I shook my head and then quickly went over to the sink.

"How's your face doing?" I hadn't realised Bakura was still there. Now that I was thinking about it my cheek was stinging quite badly but I'd had other things to worry about. My arms hurt far worse.

"I-It stings b-but I think I-it's ok." My voice was cracked and broken with the effort to keep down crying.

"The other boys in class saw. They asked us how you got it." An audible groan escaped my lips.

"What did you say?" I had my eyes shut and a hand to my cheek so I didn't realise Bakura drawing closer until he spoke again.

"That you fell on broken glass." My eyes flew open as I felt a hand in my own taking it away from my face to have a look at it just like he had in the airport.

"You've got something stuck in there…Maybe you have really got glass in there though I don't see how." He let his had trail down my cheek and drop to my shoulder.

Bakura is taller than me so I have to raise my head to look up at him properly. He held my gaze and didn't remove his hand from my shoulder. I didn't matter. It was quite nice. I wasn't even aware that either of us had leaned forwards, but suddenly our lips had met. We were kissing. My heart, that seemed to have taken up permanent residence in my shoes, was almost literally in my mouth. After what seemed like an hour but was really only a few seconds, we pulled part, but he quickly pulled me into a tight hug. He was careful of my arms though. Someone was watching us from by the door.

Oh gods…it was Anubis. He did not look happy.
