Light Gone Forever

Disclaimer: I don't own it and I won't any time soon

Notes: Well, sorry about I haven't been updating but my life has been very busy. I have been really sick and I have been at school till 6 thanks to my slave driving coach. We have a game next week and we have only had two weeks of practice. Anyway, I was really out of it yesterday and I was going to write but I wouldn't have lived through it. I felt crappy today but thanks to snow, all after school activities were canceled! I got off early and got time to update. You think this is bad, wait until mid-terms come up, then my schedule will be filled!

Yugi stayed home from three days after the funeral; mostly he just stayed to his room and slept. Yami was worried about him, he knew he was upset but Yugi hadn't spoken much since that day.

Joey had been very gracious and brought all of Yugi's school work and homework home for him. Yugi took it in with him and did it in silence. One time Yami had thought he had snuck in.

Halfway through his work Yugi stopped and sighed. "I know you are there Yami," he said quietly.

"What how did you know I was here, did you know I was here all along?" Yami asked. Yugi had a blank emotionless expression on his face.

"Yami, could you just . . . hold me," Yugi asked, now Yami could see the small tears in his eyes.

"Of course aibou," Yami said as he picked his light up in a warm embrace. He could feel tears seeping though his shirt but he didn't care at all.

"Yugi, have you been okay? I mean you have been in your room for three days straight," Yami asked.

"I am just sad Yami, I am feeling better now that I have talked to you, and do you think it would be okay if I were to return to school tomorrow?" Yugi asked, Yami was going to say now but he couldn't when he saw the look of hope on Yugi's face.

"Yes little Yugi, you can if you feel up to it. Now, how about we go and get some dinner?" Yami asked.

"Alright, I haven't eaten in ages," Yugi said. Yami laughed;

"Yes and neither have I, and I mean that literally!" he exclaimed, Yugi laughed, and for the first time in three days it was a real laugh, not just one to make people think he was okay.

After dinner Yugi went to sleep, he was excited to go back to school. Yami was very confused, why was Yugi excited to go back to a place where he was picked on and yelled at? Yami thought he would never figure out these modern day people. He had been shocked enough when he witnessed water come out of a block with only a touch of a button. He finally found sleep but it was way after Yugi.

In the morning Yami woke with a start only to find Yugi wasn't there. He got worried and ran down the stairs. He was relieved and happy to find Yugi sitting at the kitchen table, Faye at his side, eating breakfast with Serenity and Joey.

"Good morning Yami," Serenity said as she was the first to notice him standing in the doorway.

"Good morning all of you," Yami and was happy to see Yugi turn around and smile in his general direction. "I see you want to go to school today Yugi," Yami said, Joey and Serenity looked shocked. "And that you haven't told them that," he added with a small smile.

"Yugi are you sure you want to go back to school, I mean they weren't nice to you before, I am sure they won't be nice to you know," Joey said, they had been badmouthing Yugi all week at school but Joey hadn't told anyone.

"Yea, I think it's time, it's not that your house isn't wonderful and all but I need to get out more," Yugi said, Yami smiled at this but could tell there was something bothering Joey, he wondered if it had something to do with Yugi's return to school.

"If ya say so Yug," Joey said, after breakfast Joey and Yugi sat down to watch some TV because they had time. Well really Joey sat to watched; Yugi just listened to the words and pictured how the people looked in his mind. Yami was amazed at the box the projected pictures. He sat transfixed on the TV, he didn't even noticed Yugi and Joey get up and ready for school.

The thing that knocked him out of his trance was Yugi screaming goodbye in his ear.

"Ah, Yugi, there is no need to yell, do you want to make me death?" Yami screamed as he jumped over the couch. Yami heard laughter and turned to see Joey on the floor laughing and Serenity in the doorway slightly laughing. Yugi also started laughing.

"Oh yes, it has to be really funny to try and give the five thousand year only pharaoh a heart attack!" Yami exclaimed their laughter started to die down.

"Sorry Yami, I just wanted to say bye before I left for school," Yugi said still chuckling a little.

"Oh, is that all, okay then Goodbye Yugi, I hope you have a good day at school," Yami said, Yugi got a perplexed look on his face.

"Yami have you been watching some sort of soap opera or something?" Yugi asked.

"No," Yami said with a confused look as well. Yugi just shrugged and grabbed Faye's harness, then Joey and Yugi left out the door. When they were gone Yami turned to ask Serenity something, "I was wondering, could you teach me how to work this thing?"

Serenity looked over to see that he was pointing to the TV. She smiled, "Yes, but that is only if you promise not to become a couch potato," she said.

Yami's face contorted in a weird manor, "This thing can turn you into a vegetable?!?" he exclaimed after observing the box for a while.

"No silly, it's just an expression like . . . break a leg," Serenity said sitting down on the couch.

"Why would someone tell you to break a leg, that is unless they were your enemy, or they were trying to rob your grave," Yami started going off.

"No, you don't understand Yami, it's just a saying, you don't really wish for it to happen, it's a way of saying good luck," Serenity said, she paused to see if he was getting all of this.

"I think I understand," Yami said, she smiled she had no idea that this would be so hard to do. Teaching him about the modern world might be harder then teaching her brother math!

AT school the day went fairly well, Joey kept a close eye on Yugi just in case. There was only one class they didn't have together and Joey was pretty sure that he couldn't get into to much trouble at Gym. He couldn't play after all, how could he get into a fight? How was he ever wrong, for today they just happened to be play volleyball. (What that has to do with it you will soon find out)

Yugi sat on the side as he heard the people hitting the ball back and forth. All of a sudden the ball flew at him, he head someone yells for him to get out of the way. He couldn't but he was lucky that Faye had been trained for this; she jumped up and caught the ball in her mouth. Yugi gave her a hug thanking her and took the ball out of her mouth. "Good girl, wait until Yami hears about this!" Yugi said enthusiastically.

A guy came over to get the ball, Yugi tried to throw it at him but threw it too high and the guy didn't catch it. Instead it hit him right in the face and the class started to laugh.

"Why you little brat, you did that on purpose didn't you!" the boy exclaimed, he started to advance on Yugi. Yugi started to panic, he didn't mean to hit the guy and the teacher had stepped out he want going to get the stuffing kicked out of him, he laughed at the thought.

"Now you think its funny punk," the guy yelled, Yugi's laughter seized quickly.

"Come on Keith, you know he blind give him a break," Yugi heard someone from the class yell, his heart was in his throat, he was not just going to get beaten, he was going to die. Keith was the biggest bully around, Yugi was going to cry, he didn't want to die just yet.

"Stop it right now Keith," Yugi heard another voice say, he didn't recognized the voice but Keith did for he dropped Yugi to the ground. Yugi landed on his ankle and whimpered in pain.

"S-Seto K-K-Keiba?" Keith asked. He was shaking, now he was in for it.

"Yes, now what is the meaning of picking on someone like him," Seto said obviously meaning the fact the Yugi was blind.

"You don't have to stick up for me just because I am blind," Yugi said quietly, he didn't like being treating different, he was just as capable as people that could see, and smarter then most as well. Luckily for him Set did here him and soon Keith was running in fear.

"I hope he didn't hurt you to much," Seto said in a calming voice and he tried to help Yugi up. As soon and Yugi put weight on the ankle he landed on he went back down with a cry of pain.

"Damn, I guess I got here a little to late, come on let's get you to the nurse," Seto said picking Yugi up with ease. "Do you ever eat boy, you are lighter then my little brother," Seto asked.

"I have been . . . um . . . sick lately," Yugi said, he didn't want to tell this guy about his grandfather, he didn't like talking about him at all.

"Okay, here we are, do you want me to leave?" Seto asked as he placed him on the chair.

"Could you please inform my brother that I am going to need him to pick me up?" Yugi asked, he face had such an innocent look on his face that Seto had a very hard time even trying to say no.

"Okay, what's the number?" he asked as he whipped out his cell phone.

"264-8750," Yugi said, the nurse brought him an ice pack for his ankle. He winced as it came in contact with his skin, it was very cold.

Then he heard the conversation with Yami and Seto come up. "Hi my name is Seto Keiba, I am calling on behalf of your brother," Seto said.

With Yugi's excellent hearing he heard what Yami said, mostly because he screamed into the phone, looks like Serenity hadn't given him the 411 on the phone yet. "What have you done to me brother you slimy git," he heard Yami screamed. Serenity must have had him watching an English movie.

"I did nothing, he was hurt in an occurrence at school today and asked me to call for you to come and pick him up," Seto said in a very calm voice.

"And I am supposed to believe you?" Yami said.

"Yes, here you can talk to him yourself," Seto said handing the phone over to Yugi.

"Yami, please stop yelling and just come and pick me up please," Yugi said but Yami hadn't stopped yelled, it was starting to upset Yugi.

"And I get a call from some rude guy and he is telling me that you got hurt and I bet someone hit you where in the world was Joey!" Yami was going on and on.

"Yami! Please, just pick my up now, I want to go home," Yugi said, Yami's stopped yelling at the tone of voice that Yugi had.

"I'll be there soon aibou," he said quietly.
