Chapter 11: From Home To Hell

It had been almost four weeks since Rebecca began to teach Yami sign language and he had been making amazing progress.

However, just as things were looking up for the wild child, everything began to go down hill very, very quickly...


It was a rainy Saturday afternoon, Grandpa walked through the front door dripping wet.

To his surprise he saw Yugi sat on the sofa with an angry look on his face and tears in his eyes.

"Yugi, what's the matter?" Grandpa asked his grandson.

"They've dropped it."

"Who's dropped what?"

The tears in Yugi's eyes began to fall.

"Kaiba Corp have cut the funding because apparently we didn't have enough research on Yami's progress." He explained.

"So what about Yami?" Grandpa asked.

"He's moving out of Stan's house."

"Well where's he living now?"...


"Hello Yami." Miwa smiled when Yami, who was clutching his favourite teddy bear he called Andy, came walking in with Stan who was carry Yami's other things like clothes and other toys.

Social Services had decided that Yami should be sent to live with his mother in the house he had been so terribly abused.

The house had been painted a nicer colour and almost everything was brand new.

"I fixed your room for you." She said calmly.

"Why don't you go and have a look." Stan suggested and Miwa led Yami to the room where he spent his childhood.

However, the windows were no longer boarded up, there was a little desk by the wall, a wardrobe, some toys and a bed.

Suddenly Yami heard Stan's car start and he ran to the front door.

But when he got there he saw Stan driving away in his car.

Yami watched the car with teary eyes and Miwa stepped up behind him.

"He's gone now Yami." She said coldly and gentle led her son back into the house...


Three days later Yugi and Honey arrived at the Sennen house. When they got there they saw Miwa talking to another woman on the porch, when she saw them she said goodbye to the woman.

As the woman left Yugi caught a glimpse of her badge and his eyes widened slightly.

"Yugi!" Yami exclaimed as he came running out the house.

Miwa tried to stop him but her son was to fast and he tackled Yugi into a hug.

"Hey Yami." He smiled.

"It's good to see Miwa." Honey said and Yami's mother nodded and they went inside...


While Miwa was washing some dishes in the kitchen Yami, Honey and Yugi were in his new room.

Yami was drawing a picture of himself, Yugi and Honey.

"That's great Yami, why don't finish that so I can take it home and show Rebecca what a great artist you are."

Yami nodded and Yugi walked towards the kitchen.

"Miwa." Yugi started but Miwa refused to look at him, she kept on washing the dishes.

"I hope your not planning on put Yami in an asylum." He said.

"I don't have a choice. He doesn't listen to me, he stomps his feet, slams the door then yesterday I found him digging up my flowers in the back yard."

She then turned to her son's look-a-like.

"He never use to do those things."

Yugi felt his blood boil, but he tried to keep calm. "He never really had a chance."

She glared at him and turned but the dishes.

"Instead of putting him in an asylum why not place him in a foster home where the parents have other kids who can help take care of Yami."

Miwa paused for a second, as if considering the option...


After having a word with Yami's Social Worker, Miwa had Yami sent to a foster family at the other end of Domino City.

He now lived with Adam Stanton, Adam's wife Helen Stanton and there two other foster children called Kai Greg and Luke Harrison.

Adam was 57 years old, he had grey hair, brown ears and pale wrinkly skin, he wore and white woolly jumper and black trousers.

He and his wife were very strict with the their foster sons.

Helen was 54 years old, she had dark brown hair, green eyes and tanned skin, she wore a black shirt and white jeans.

She isn't that nice to the boys.

Kai was 14 years old, he had black spiky hair, amber eyes and peachy skin, he wore a red hoodie and dark red tracksuit bottoms.

He lost his parents in a fire and all the smoke permanently damaged his brain.

Kai shared a room with Yami.

Luke was 6 years old, he had short chestnut brown hair, blue eyes and tanned skin, he wore a blue t-shirt and white shorts.

His older brother died in the army and his single mother gave him up when he was 2 because she just couldn't cope...


It was Monday morning and Adam and Helen had to take the boys to school.

Yami was surprised when they dropped him off at the same high school Yugi and Kai went to.

Not the pre-school he always went to, to help with his problems.

"Good morning class." The headmaster said when he walked into Yugi's classroom.

"I am pleased to introduce a new boy joining us. Yami Sennen."

The gang shoot their heads up so quickly they got whiplash.

"Come here Yami."

Everyone turned to the door and Yami poked his around the door and when he saw Yugi he ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

"Yami what are you doing here?"

Yami started to use sign language.

"That mean woman drove me here." Yugi's eyes narrowed.

He had the have a talk with the Stanton's...
