~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The day went by rather fine until English class. Yugi walked into class with Joey, as he sniffed the air he smelt a strong cologne. This was not the same teacher they had the day before was it?

"Joey, is the teacher here?" Yugi asked.

"Nope not yet, Yug lets hit our seats before she does," Joey said.

"It's not a girl today Joey, it's a guy I can smell the difference," Yugi told him. Joey shrugged and took his seat and Yugi and Faye took there's.

The teacher strode in at the bell rang. He started taking attendance, when he was done he introduced himself.

"My name is Mr. LaScalza," He said. (That's my math teacher, the most boring man you will EVER meet!) "I am sorry I was absent on the first day, I was deathly ill, I am better now though."

Five minutes into class he noticed that Yugi's eyes were always closed.

"Mr. Motou, why don't you open your eyes and pay attention instead of dozing off in my class," Mr. LaScalza said. Yugi didn't want to open his eyes because the ray of the sun that was coming through the window irritated his eyes. He did because the teacher asked him to though.

A few minutes later Yugi could hardly keep his eyes open, they were tearing like crazy. Yugi's hand went up.

"Mr. Motou, what can you possibly want now?" the teacher asked.

"Well sir, with all do respects I wish to close my eyes," Yugi said, he didn't know that Mr. LaScalza didn't know that he was blind. The whole class was quite, they knew about Yugi's condition and they knew that Mr. LaScalza didn't.

"What do you take me for Mr. Motou? I will not just allow you to sleep in my class because you are new around here," he said. He came up to Yugi ready to hit him when someone knocked on the door.

Mr. LaScalza lowered his hand and answered the door.

"Yes," he said.

"Can we have Mr. Motou for a moment, we need to inform him of something," the lady at the door said. Yugi's ears perked up at the sound of his name. He got up and took Faye's harness. As soon as Mr. LaScalza saw this his face fell. As soon as the door shut his face turned bright red.

"Was anyone going to tell me he was blind, or do you all want me to be fired?!!!!!!!!!" he yelled.

Outside Yugi was waiting to hear what the lady had to say to him.

"Mr. Motou, I realize that this will come hard for you, being twelve and all but I think you must know. At three forty-six in the morning your guardian's plane crashed into the side of a mountain. I am so sorry for your loss Yugi," she said, and for the first time in a long time Yugi just stood there and stared someone in the eyes, even if it was unintentional.

"I-is h-h-he d-d-d-dead?" Yugi stuttered, he knew the answer but he needed someone to tell him it.

"I am so sorry young man," she said, and then she left, she left him all alone in the hallway.

Through the link Yami was sleeping peacefully until a huge amount of pain flew through the link. His eyes snapped open his aibou was deeply hurt, not physically but mentally. Yami wanted to jump right out of the puzzle and comfort him but he knew that Yugi was in school. He had already done it once in front of Yugi's friends, imagine how his not friends would act.

Yugi opened his eyes for a brief second and Yami got a glimpse that no one was there. He quickly exited his soul room.

Yugi knew he came out from the warm feeling the puzzle had. He soon felt a warm embrace engulf him.

"My little aibou what is wrong?" Yami asked, he didn't want to have Yugi retell whatever it was but had been asleep for the first version of it.

"H-he's gone, h-h-he l-loved me s-s-so m-much a-and n-n-now he is g-gone," was all Yugi could tell him.

"Who Yugi, who is gone forever, is it your grandpa?" Yami asked.

"Y-yes," Yugi said, his eyes let out a fresh batch of tears.

"Let us leave here now, I don't think you can go back into class now," Yami said, He helped Yugi stand, the little boy held onto him for support. Yami knocked on the door and Mr. LaScalza opened it. He looked mad at another interruption but his glare soon melted when he saw Yugi's eyes full of tears.

"I will be taking my little brother home, we have had an unfortunate occurrence in the family," Yami said to him. He looked to Yugi who held onto Yami like he was his only hope.

"I am sorry, his stuff is right here," he said helping Yami get it all up. Joey looked to him as if for a reason that Yugi was crying.

Yami gave him a look full of sadness, Joey understood. He gave Yugi a sympathetic look.

Yami led Yugi out of class, Faye following obediently. When they exited the school Yugi collapsed against Yami. Yami dropped his stuff to catch him.

Yugi's body was racked with painful sobs, Yami frowned, and he was so tired. He picked him up and threw his stuff over his shoulder, and then he proceeded to Joey and his sister's house.

When he got there Serenity was alarmed to find them home from school so early.

"Yami what happened to Yugi?" she asked in alarm.

"Serenity, today in class Yugi found out that his grandfather's plane crashed and he is now dead," Yami said, his eyes had tears in them but he did not cry. To him, pharaohs don't cry, even if they have been locked away for thousands of years.

"Put him in bed, but stay with him, when he wakes up he will need to see a familiar face," Serenity said, Yami nodded and did what she had said to.

Three hours later Joey arrived from school. He had bolted out of his last class; he didn't even stop when the teacher yelled at him. He burst through the door to see Serenity watching TV, the look on her face was unmistakable, Yami had told her.

"Oh Joey, it's horrible, poor Yugi," she cried and fell into the brother crying all the tears she had been keeping in.

"I know Serenity, Yug's been through so much, now he has lost his only family," Joey said.

In Yugi's room Yugi was showing signs of waking. "Yugi, are you awake?" Yami asked, he had watched him sleep for a good three and a half hours.

"Yami," Yugi said a fresh batch of tears there. Yami picked him up and let him cry into his shoulder. "It f-feels l-l-like m-my h-heart was r-r-ripped out Y-Yami," Yugi said.

"I know Yugi, I know it hurt my little aibou," Yami said, he just held him close, he hoped it helped.

"I w-was so mean t-to him Y-Yami," Yugi said, Yami didn't know anything of this, he wanted to press he decided to let Yugi tell him what he felt comfortable telling him. "I w-was so c-cold to him; I n-never opened u-up to him. I s-stayed in m-my room for a f-f-full week s-straight and I n- never let h-h-him know what was h-h-hurting me. He t-tried, I know h-he did, he b-b-bought me a s-special computer to help me and he even g-gave me you," Yugi cried.

Yami just held on tight, he knew that Yugi was hurting so much inside; he too had felt the loss of a loved one.

*Flashback*

Little prince Yami walked down the hall to his parents throne room. When he got there all he saw were grim and upset faces. He was very confused.

"Mother?" Prince Yami called out for her. There was no answer; normally there was an answer as soon as the worlds left his lips.

"Son, I need to talk to you," his father, the pharaoh at the time said.

"What is it father? Do you know where mother is?" Yami asked.

"Son, your mother was taken by the Gods this morning, we don't know how," he said.

Tears welded up in the little prince's eyes and his make-up smudged all over.

"No you have to be lying. They wouldn't do that to me or her, she has done nothing to upset them," Yami screamed, he ran out of the room, he never turned back until he got to his room. He threw himself on his bad and cried, the pain of loss was something he never wanted to face again.

*End of Flashback*

Yami's eyes filled with tears and for the first time in a while Yami cried, he cried for the loss of his mother, for the loss of Yugi's grandfather, for all the pain Yugi had gone though, and then, when there was nothing left to cry for, he just cried for the sake of it.
