3rd P.O.V
It was late into the evening when Yugi finally made it back home. Her head was swirling with pain and it was obvious to anyone that could see that she was not in too good a shape.
There were bruises all over her body; most of them luckily were covered by her uniform. However, despite the lovely sunset, she was drenched from head to toe; covered in sticky remains of shooken up soda.
She considered it a blessing when she found her loving grandfather wasn't home. In his place she instead found a small note on the table, alerting her of where he was. A small smiled graced her lips, after being a couple days late her cousin finally arrived in Japan safe and sound.
Her grandfather had simply left to pick her up, but then another thought came to the girl, a frown taking place. She couldn't let her friends and family see her like this. Her grandfather nearly had a heart attack and had became a worried mother hen after the Ushio incident.
The last thing she wanted was for everyone to worry about her again. But what could she do? The teachers, though as nice as some of them were, wouldn't be able to do anything. Pulling her exhausted body up the stairs, she managed to limp herself into the bathroom.
Taking off her clothes she quickly washed them, trying to get as much soap into the stains as possible before setting them off to dry. Next she popped into the shower, practically singing in bliss as the hot water poured over her aches and pains.
You'd think she'd be used to this endless cycle of bullying, however the past few months-her eyes widened in shock at the realization. Up until now she never thought about it, however the past few months she's been happy, incredibly unrealistically happy.
Since meeting Yami and the others, she's finally felt what it meant to have friends. She'd gone out to lunch with them, played games, goofed around...she chuckled to herself. 'To think that even without meaning to, he always manages to make things better.' That only made her guilt and shame worse though.
Him and the other guys were always protecting her from harm, defending her when things got bad, she could only imagine the problems and worry that would arise from this incident.
Could she really force them into her mess? Turning off the water to her shower she got out, dried herself off, wincing once or twice at the painful black and blue bruises that were forming and walked into her room.
Carefully she put on her pajamas, in no mood to going back down and force herself to eat. No she would rather be in her bed, where she would feel warm and safe. Crawling under the covers a yawn escaped. Tomorrow was going to be hell for her, no doubt about it.
Out of habit she took out a little locket, no one knew that she had this piece of jewelry, not even her grandpa, it was a special memento that Yugi kept hidden, and protected. Inside it are two pictures. Both photos holding people that held a chunk of her broken heart.
Her parents, all dressed elegantly on the day of their wedding, when they looked so happy, and carefree, not knowing that within a few years they would no longer be of this world due to another's carelessness.
And another, a young child whom back then was so full of life, her partner in crime in all things fun and weird. Until tragedy occurred and both cursed his fate, within a short amount of time he was taken away from her, she could only hope that he watched over her every now and then.
With a small trembling finger she traced the etched design on the locket, it was heart shaped with the monster card 'Change of Heart' on it, it was always his favorite card when they were younger.
"Goodnight." She whispered before closing her purple eyes, her hand gripped onto the little trinket, feeling the warmth of her loved ones envelope her soul. For a moment she thought she heard his voice, as gentle and kind as always. "Sleep tight Yu-kun."
Time Skip...
This morning started out... nice, it was odd. Yugi awoke on time this morning; able to wear her uniform as it was now dry and clean. She managed to treat herself to some toast and juice before she would have to head out for school.
Her grandfather and cousin were sleeping after coming home late into the night, so things were peaceful, however she knew better. It was going to get worse from here on out.
Gingerly she touched her arm, a few days ago she nailed herself good, spraining it in the process of moving boxes and furniture. The maiden knew she had to be careful, especially with that sinking feeling in her gut.
Quietly she went through the front door, placing a little note letting her family know she was off to school. Wincing at the sound of the little chime the door made. She walked and walked, taking in the clouds in the sky.
It was sure to be another stormy day. Lucky for her she had an umbrella so she wouldn't get soaked. "Hey Yugi-Sempai!" With a small blush she waved towards Syrus and Jaden, who were with a few of their other friends. Some faces she thought were familiar.
"Hello." She continued her walk into school, this morning her priority was to make it to her classroom without issues, and for a moment it seemed like she accomplished just that.
No one was harassing her, there were no rude snickers thrown her way, it seemed as if she was being ignored. Something she took as a miracle, especially after the paint incident that took place yesterday.
But when she entered the room, she froze, tears welling up in her eyes, as she saw the changes someone made to the classroom. "Good morning Yugi how are-" Miss Grace looked as equally shocked when she got a good look into the room.
A furious expression took place onto the usually cheerful and happy teacher. She swivels her head to the girl. "Yugi-Chan do you know who did this?" One of her favorite students bites her lip, she had an idea, a possible suspect perhaps...But...
That won't do any good without proof, so she could only shake her head no. "Come on, we're going to the principals office, this is down right terrible. I'm going to call your family as well so that they know what's going on." The last statement made Yugi pale.
She really, really didn't want her grandfather to wake up just to come to the school. She attempted to tell Miss Grace that, explaining how late he came home with his cousin. After seeing her expression soften she thought that Miss Grace would listen, but she didn't.
"I'm sorry Yugi-Chan but this, this, these are threats, this level of vandalism cannot go undone, and a lot of the hostility is towards you if not all of it, we need to let them know."
With a nod in acceptance, Yugi gave up, knowing that there was nothing she could do to change the elder lady's mind. The two walk through the halls, the door locked so that no one could enter and fix the mess made. Or hide evidence as they made their way to the principals office.
