I'm sorry I had to shoot Yami!But it has to be this way, minna.And yes, Brandon is dead. Poor guy. Adrian is a mean dude, yes. But, anyways, this chapter will have rape. I don't get why there can't be sesible NC stuff. Yeesh.
Many thanks to all who voted! There wasn't many, so I asked around at school, and Up All Night is our winner. Besides, it kicks ass. Muchly.
Here we go!

Yami had never felt such pain before in his life.
The bullet hadn't actually hit him, though, and he was very thankful for that. It went across his skin, but left quite the mark, and was still bleeding alot.
This reminded him of all the times he'd fallen off a bike, or a skateboard, and came home with a bunch of scrapes. His mother would fuss over him and try to make him be more careful, but Yami loved danger, and he loved watching the people on the sidelines get so worked up when he'd fall off.
But this was not just a little scrape, and it hurt much more. It felt as though someone had stabbed him with a white-hot knife and left it there.
He heard Yugi cry out from his room, and then the sound of someone being hit. He felt so helpless, crouched on the ground next to Brandon's body. He felt tears push at the back of his eyes as Yugi tried to cry out to him, but Adrian just hit him, over and over...
---
Adrian dove again and Yugi cried out. "Aaah!" Adrian hit him, and repeated his actions over and over. He'd enter Yugi's fragile body, Yugi would cry out, and Adrian would hit him.
Now, Yugi screamed for his brother, and Adrian found it unarousing."Listen, you little shit. I told you to be quiet, or I'll kill him!" he growled, and kept going.
Yugi sobbed onto the pillow as Adrian kept going. It hurt so much.'Please stop....'
---
Yami finally got to standing up, still clutching his side. "Dear God..." he moaned, feeling dizzy.
He didn't know what exactly he was doing. The carpet he was standing on was stained with Brandon's blood, maybe Yami's with it. But that wasn't important. Yami didn't care about anything then. He had to get Yugi out of there.
Just then, someone ran into the apartment.
---
Yugi bit his lip as Adrian puased to get his gun. "Always good, Yugi. Now, I'm gonig to go take care of your brother." he said.
Yugi spun around. "No!"
There was a long silence after that, and Yugi felt both terrified, and brave. "You can't kill him, Adrian."
---
Jounouchi ran into the apartment. "Yami!Oh my God, what happened..?"
Yami stared for a second, then fell to his knees and began sobbing.
Jounouchi was very startled, and couldn't make out what Yami was saying."Whoah, calm down, Yami." he said, and felt very akward, comferting someone older than him.
Yami sighed and kept his hand over the gunshot wound. "Adrian came back...He's got Yugi in there.." he pointed, and Jounouchi noticed how he was shaking. "Yami, are you allright...Oh shit."
He saw the blood on Yami's hand, where he was desperetly trying to cover the wound. "I'm fine, go help Yugi, please..." he said, barely over a whisper.
---
Adrian glared death at Yugi. "And why not?"
Yugi suddenly felt so vunerable, but he chose to ignore it. "Yami's the only family I have left, Adrian, and I love him. He's my brother."
Adrian scoffed and shot at Yugi, but purposely missed. Yugi, however, thought Adrian had tried to shoot him, and felt all his bravery melt away.Adrian slapped him. "You don't know anything about love! I fell in love once,and the damn bitch betrayed me." he said.
Yugi suddenly had a feeling of understanding. "She betrayed you?"
Adrian looked very sad right then, and Yugi was repulsed when he felt sorry for him. "Yeah. She started dating Yami behind my back."
---
Jounouchi looked around for a phone."We gotta call the cops...!Where's the phone?"
Yami didn't answer. He was leaning on Jounouchi, panting, and trying not to bleed to death.He closed his eyes.Jounouchi gasped and lightly shook Yami. "No, Yami!Where's the phone?" he demanded. Yami looked at him for a moment. "Jacket pocket, cell phone." he said.
Jounouchi smiled."Okay. You need to lay down, Yami..." and he helped him to the couch.
Then he fished through Yami's jacket and found the little phone,and quickly dailed the phone number.
---
Yugi blinked. "The only girl Yami ever dated was...Michelle Stienbach!"
Adrian growled. "I'll kill him!!!That bastard!He stole my girl, dammit!" and he ran out the door.
Yugi quickly pulled his jeans back on and chased after Adrian.
---
Jounouchi turned off the phone. "They're on their way, Yami." he said, and sat on the floor by the couch.
Yami heard a gunshot, and sat up. "Yugi!!" Jounouchi also heard it, it's not like you could miss a gunshot.
Then Adrian ran out and aimed for Yami. He was crying. "You took her away from me!!" he yelled, and pulled the trigger.
---
Stardust:Oooooh...I am not that evil, we'll keep going.
---
The trigger was pulled, only there was no blast.
Yami thought he would pass out, as did Jounouchi.
Yugi ran out and up to Yami. "Yami, are you allright?Please be allright..." he began sobbing.
Then the police came in and Adrian paniced.He began throwing a fit, a brought out an extra bullet from his pocket, loaded the gun, and aimed for the first target.
One of policemen cried out, and then someone put Yami's arm over his shoulder and helped him out. Yugi came out after him, along with Jounouchi, to the paramedics downstairs.
---
Yami woke up in a bleech white room, and figured he was dead. He saw someone leaning over him.
"Yes, he should be allright."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. The bullet didn't enter, just went across the surface. He lost some blood, but it wasn't life threatening. He'll just need some time, okay?"
"...Allright..."
Yami couldn't focus on who was talking. One of them had to be a doctor.Off in the distance, he heard a door close.
"Yami?"
Yami blinked a few times, and looked to his right. It was Yugi. "Yugi..." he moaned, and was surprised at hwo pathetic he sounded.
Yugi smiled at him."Yeah. How do you feel?" he asked, and got something out of his backpack, which sat on the floor.
Yami considered the question. His side didn't hurt as bad, but it was still a bit painful."Okay, I guess." he replied. Yugi opened a CD case and put the disk in a CD player.
Yami watched him. "What are you doing, Yugi?" Yugi hushed him and pressed play.
Can we talk about automatic satisfaction
Sittin' back relaxin' floored
What's wrong with kickin it
When you're bored and lit
Lets smoke some cigarettes
And catch up on the back porch
Fire up another roach
We don't need a rest this is just a test
Cuz we're alright, we're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time no reason why
To see the sun come up again.
The more we try to change
The more we stay the same
We're caught up in the game and now
Just like empty picture frames
So now were to blame
Said we were gettin down, on genesee and fountain
Smelled another mountain now
If you aint gettin down, you'll come around
And were alright, we're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time, no reason why
To see the sun come up again.
Oooh...Yeah, yeah yeah.
So lets smoke some cigarettes
And catch up on the back porch
Fire up another roach
We don't need a rest, it's just a test
And as the world spins we'll watch it with a grin
And look in as the day begins
Well now it's on again, it's dawn again. Yeah! Yeah!
And we're alright
We're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time, no reason why
To see the sun come up again
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright
Yeah we're alright, up all night
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright
To see the sun come up again now!
Yami blinked."Who is that?" he asked. Yugi took it out. "Unwritten Law. It was Brandon's."
They were silent for awhile, thinking about all that had happened. Yugi eventually left to go get something to eat, and Yami fell asleep soon after.
~*Dream*~
Yami was walking down a dimly-lit hallway. He was wearing what looked like Yugi's school uniform. He came to a point where two door were on either side of him. One was open and led to a room with alot of toys and such, and brightly lit.
The other door was shut and rusted. Yami blinked and tried to deicde which way he wanted to go. The door on the left, with the innocent feel to it, the door to the right, which seemed so dark, or the unknown ahead?
Soon, Yugi ran down the hallway and into the room on the left, luaghing.He was about three years old. Then a younger version of Yami ran behind Yugi into the room, also luaghing.
Yami frowned.Then, he felt something taking the place of the gift Yugi gave him.
It was a gold, upside down pyramid. There were many creases on it, as if it could come apart. He took it off to study it, but before he could, he heard a loud gunshot, and Yugi's scream.
~*End Dream*~
Yami awoke again, and he felt so much better. But his dream made no sence...He blamed the morphine.
The next day he went home to his apartment, with Yugi, and quite a bit of money for the loses and trouble he faced.
Yugi went to school and eventualy went out with a girl named Anzu, who said he was 'cute'.
And Adrian was put on Death Row, and realized as he got the lethal injection that Yami really wasn't to blame for what Michelle did to him. He had, after all, raped her as well.
