Yugi's POV (after school - in hallway by lockers)

Sigh... another day. When will things for me finally change?! Everyday I do the same things over and over again. First thing, get beat up by bullies, go to lockers, head for classes. At lunch, bring lunch, gets money stolen by bullies and then get beat up, and then ending up puking up my lunch. After school, go to locker, and then get beat up. I get beat up more often than I actually eat a meal!!

But today, it was a 'little' different. We got a few new students. Bakura, a white haired man, Ishtar, bleached blond, and Yami, the tri-colored haired fiend. Kaiba seemed to kno them though. They looked very scary. But, who cares? More people meant more people will pick on me. No one ever stood up for me. They were too scared too!

I closed my locker door and headed to direction towards home. Before I even reached the double door of Domino High, was froze on the spot. An witchy crackle was heard. I didn't dare turn around, I knew who it was. Edmond... that bastard, when will he and his goonies leave me alone?!?

"Aw... is Little Wittle Yugi too scared at me??" Edmond cooed with sarcasm.

If only I was a bit taller... I'd be sure to kick his ass. I turned my head slightly. I better face this like a man, better to know I tried.

Before I can turn my head completely to get a view of him, his fist connected to my jaw. His knees jammed right into the small of my back. He continued to beat me to no end. To me, it felt like forever.

Now, I was laying on my back, panting hard. My vision was bleared with tears and blows to the head. He was standing above me. I could tell he wanted to deliver the final blow... but before I knew it...

a shadow with feline grace tackled him onto the ground on the opposite side of the huge hallway, slamming both of their bodies into opposite wall. A huge cloud of dust appeared.

I fought against my own instincts to lie down and rest or to get up and go or to head over to my savior and the 'crime scene.' My adventurous side got the better of me. I got up, clutching my side.

I stumbled over to the scene. The first thing I saw was a crown of tri-colored hair of black, crimson, and gold.

I was frozen, again. Could it be?? Yami?? Why did he help me? No one ever did. No one ever could. But how? How was he so strong? How did he just ruin a whole wall of school property by just tackling a simple bully. Questions formed quicker than I could think of an answer.

Yami slowly got up. In his right fist was a bundle of the bullies shirt. As Yami stood at full height, he raised Edmond higher, pinning him up against the wall by a choke. Silence...

I walked a bit to an angle to get a better view. Edmond had bullets sweating like a waterfall down his face. "Please... I'd do anything. Don't hurt me... Please..." he continued to beg. It didn't seem to have any effect. Yami's face was unfazed and emotionless.

After a few more seconds of begging, Yami's thin pale lips pulled into a smirk.

And for the first time since I saw Yami in homeroom class that morning, I heard him speak, "Never. Touch. Or. Get. Near. This. Boy. Ever. Ever. Again."

Yami's husky voice rang over and over again in my ears. His voice was deep and husky... but, so beautiful. His eyes were beautiful - crimson.

I watched as he tossed Edmond down the hall, not even caring what happened to him. He slowly walked towards me. His scarlet eyes bore into my own. When he was right in front of me he stopped. "Are you all right?" His voice was monotone, so cold. Why?

I nodded. "T-Thank you... very much," I stuttered. He's so handsome. He smirked, or so he did something similar. "I'll take you home," he stated. I guess he didn't even if I agreed or not because he scooped me up into his arms.

Out of instincts, I clenched onto his shirt. He felt so warm. This felt so right... This was sooo perfect.

He kicked open the school doors. The courtyard of the school still had some people. He carried me to his car, a dark blue Mustang. He opened the door to the passenger seat and placed me inside. His smirk widened. He closed the door and got in on the driver's side.

"Where do you live?"

"K-Kame Game S-Shop..." I stuttered. Damn stuttering... He'll probably think I'm a teen wannabe.

He revved up the engine and took off. "There's no need to be feared of me, Yugi. I won't hurt you," if possible, I swear his smirk grew wider.

His voice was so reassuring to me. I felt I could listen to it for eternity. He drove me all the way back to the shop, and carried me inside.
