Secrets of Yesterday

'I'm here again, but where is here?' Yugi looked around him and found that he was back in the dark corridor and he could see the door where the light was shining through the key hole. 'Right, now I'm supposed to open it, and find the garden. I remember this,' Yugi said as he turned the silver door handle and opened the door. Sunlight poured onto his face and his feet stepped onto soft, springy grass. Yugi walked forward, and saw the girl sitting on the stone bench, her hair falling around her and he could hear her crying. However, this time, she was not alone. Another person stood before the girl, but the figure was wearing a black cloak and completely hidden from sight. Yugi saw a knife flash in the air and he ran forward, trying to stop the figure. Strong arms wrapped themselves around Yugi's body and he struggled to get free.

'NO! What are you doing!? Jade! Run!' Yugi cried as he tried to pull away from his captor. His holder spun him around and grinned into his face. 'Seto Kaiba! But…what are you?' Seto grinned again and planted his lips against Yugi's, his tongue pushing past his lips and into his mouth. Yugi pushed against Seto, but the other boy was too strong for him.

'Blood calls to blood Pharaoh,' Seto said as he pushed Yugi to the ground, pulling at his shirt as he did so, 'I've paid for this.' Yugi struggled as he felt Seto's mouth press against his chest and his hands fumbled on the belt of Yugi's pants, pulling them down and revealing his tender flesh. Seto lowered his head over Yugi…

"NO! NO!! Let me go! Let me go! Seto! Ah, gods no Seto!" Yugi screamed as he thrashed about in his bed, flinging the covers everywhere, "Stop please! Seto, please, ah, stop!"

"Yugi!" Yami cried in alarm as he shook the younger man, "Yugi, it's me! Yami! Wake up damnit!!"

Yugi's eyes shot open and the room came into focus. His breath came in fast shallow gasps and his body was covered in a cold sweat. His hands clutched at the bed sheets, his knuckles white from the strain that he put on them. Yami looked down at Yugi, his face covered in worry and concern.

"Yugi, what happened?" Yami asked as he pried the boy's hands from the sheets, "Did you have the dream again?" And why did you cry out Seto Kaiba's name? Yami thought but he kept that to himself. Yugi sat up and placed his hand to his head and groaned. He lunged out of bed and ran into the bathroom, vomiting up the food that he had for dinner. Yami ran into the bathroom and held Yugi's hair from his face as he vomited again and again, his tears mixing with his sweat. Grandpa came rushing in, demanding to know what was going on.

"That is what I am trying to find out," Yami replied as he helped Yugi stand up. Grandpa went over to Yugi and felt his forehead.

"You have a fever Yugi, and you're dripping in a cold sweat! I don't care if it's still August, put on a shirt and socks and get back into bed," Grandpa said and ushered Yugi back into his bed.

"No, Grandpa, I'm fine. Really," Yugi said as his grandfather tucked the covers around him, "I had a bad dream, please stop." Yugi grabbed his grandfather's hands and looked him in the eyes. Yugi saw worry etched into his wise skin, and he sighed in a defeated way.

            "Are you sure that you are alright?" Grandpa asked him, fear etching his voice.

"Yes," Yugi replied nodding his head, "I am perfectly alright. It was just a nightmare."

"A violent nightmare at that," Yami said quietly, his head bent in thought and his arms crossed, "Don't worry Grandpa, I'll make sure he gets right back to sleep."

"Very well Yami," Grandpa replied to the Pharaoh, glad that he slept in the same room as his grandson, "Yugi, are you sure that you are alright?"

"Yes Grandpa, I am fine, and I know what you are going to say, and my answer is no. I want to go to school in the morning. It was just a bad nightmare."

"Well, alright. Yami, make sure he gets right back to sleep, and keep the covers on him." Grandpa left the room and retreated to his own quarters. When the two young men heard the door close, Yugi got up and rinsed out his mouth with cold water, and mouth wash. He splashed his face with cold water and went back into the bedroom, toweling his face dry. Yami sat on the bed in an Indian style and looked at Yugi.

"Well?" he asked.

"Well what Yami?" replied Yugi as he tossed the towel onto his chair and walked over to his bed, sitting down next to the older man.

"Don't 'well what Yami' me Yugi," Yami said, "You know what I want to know."

"Yes, it was the dream again, only there were different elements added this time." Yugi briefly told Yami what had happened including the part with Seto Kaiba. Yami sucked in a breath through his teeth, making it sound like he was hissing. Yugi looked at Yami, and his eyes misted over as he remembered how hard Seto was on him. He rubbed his arms as if he were rubbing away the rough bruises that Seto had left on his arms when he pinned him to the ground.

"And the figure in the black cloak?" asked Yami as he watched Yugi rub his arms.

"I don't know," Yugi replied, "They were completely hidden from my sight, and then Seto came, and he…" Yugi shuddered and looked out the window. It was still dark out, but Yugi could make out the faint gray on the horizon. He looked at his clock: Three-thirty a.m. He sighed. He wasn't sure that he could go back to sleep again, not after that nightmare.

Yami regarded the youth with a sad expression. Since he took a physical body, he could no longer look into the boy's dreams, although their emotions were still linked together. When he was inside Yugi's mind, he would often wander into his mind and see all his toys scattered about, portraying his innocence. If he was lonely in Yugi's mind, he certainly was lonely out here in the cold world where everything hurt his Yugi and his gentle soul. Yami reached out and touched Yugi's cheek lightly with his finger tip. Yugi flinched slightly at the sudden touch and then relaxed as he felt Yami's warmth spread through him.

"Yugi," Yami said quietly, and Yugi raised his head, "I…"

"What is it Yami?" asked Yugi, and he turned to face his spirit. Yugi started in surprise as he saw the blush on Yami's face, his eyes downcast and avoiding his.

  "Err, never mind. Let's go back to bed," Yami said and dove under the covers, his eyes focused on the ceiling. Yugi looked at Yami in confusion, and then settled under the covers with Yami. Yugi looked at Yami in the fading darkness, and then moved closer to him, resting his head against the Pharaoh's chest. Yami placed his arm around Yugi's waist and softly kissed his hair. He kissed his hair so softly, that Yugi thought it was Yami's breathe ruffling his hair.

Yugi slouched into his chair and placed his head on his desk. The nightmare had taken a lot more out him than he expected and he wondered how he drove to school that day. Jade sat behind him and she looked at the guy in front of her in curiosity. She gently tapped him on the shoulder and Yugi jumped about a foot in the air, and then spun around in his seat to look at her.

"Oh! My goodness I didn't mean to startle you like that!" she apologized, "I wanted to thank you for yesterday."

"Thank me?" asked Yugi, "What did I do?"

"You saved me from that big ape when he cornered me after school," Jade replied and looked hard at Yugi, "Are you alright? You seem a little pale."

"I…I had a rough night," mumbled Yugi. Suddenly, someone pushed down on his head and said in a cold voice, "Aww, did little Yugi have a nightmare?" Yugi's whole being froze as he registered the voice that spoke. He turned around slowly and saw Seto Kaiba's leering face towering over him. His eyes opened in shock and he felt his body begin to shake slightly, but he did his best to hide it from these two people.

"Relax kid, I'm not going to eat you," Seto said and Yugi paled even more, causing Seto to grin even more. He didn't know what Yugi's problem was, but he liked the fact that he was scared of him.

"I was just up at the front desk and do you know what I saw?" continued Seto as he stared at these two before him, "We have a project due in two weeks and you and I, Yugi, have been placed as partners. Now isn't that fun?" Yugi stood up abruptly and pushed passed Seto, half running, half walking to the bathroom. Seto went after him, enjoying the fact that he was causing Yugi some sort of turmoil.

In the bathroom, Yugi pushed open a stall and threw up his breakfast. He wiped his mouth with some toilet paper, and went towards the sink, filling his hands with cold water and splashing his face with it. Taking some paper towel from the dispenser, he dried his face and looked up. He saw Seto leaning against the wall, his arms folded across his muscular chest and a toothy grin on his face. Yugi turned around and glared at Seto.

"What the hell do you want?" Yugi demanded. Seto pushed off from the wall and walked towards Yugi, like a lion would its prey.

"What do I want?" Seto asked as he towered over Yugi, "I want a lot of things money can't buy." Although Yugi was tall, Seto was taller still, and although he was lean, was extremely strong. Yugi was pushed against the sink of the bathroom, and he leaned away from Seto, desperately looking for a means of escape. Yugi knew that he couldn't take Seto for he was much more skilled in martial arts than he was. Seto leaned closer to Yugi and grasped his hair in his hand.

"Get off me Seto," Yugi growled.

"But your hair is so soft Yugi," replied Seto and he grinned evilly at him, "I want to play with it." Seto pulled hard on Yugi's hair, bringing him forward and pinning him against his chest. Seto grabbed Yugi and pinned him against the wall, his hand running down his chest as he leaned his face close to Yugi's.

"I can't wait to get started on that project of ours," he whispered in Yugi's ear, "Maybe it could be oral for us."

"Stop Seto, please," Yugi cried desperately. He was struggling with all his might to get away from him, but Seto had him pinned firmly to the wall.

 "But you like it so much Yugi," Seto whined as he mocked Yugi's desperation, "Come on now, it can't be all that bad." Seto stuck his hand under Yugi's shirt and pinched one of his nipples. Yugi moaned as Seto repeated the motion again. Seto grinned and lifted Yugi's shirt, exposing his chest. Seto lowered his head and licked one of Yugi's nipples, nipping at it gently.

"No, please Seto," Yugi moaned as Seto bit him again, "Stop it! I said stop it damnit!" Yami had penetrated into Yugi's mind and took control of his body. He yanked his hands free from Seto's and delivered a spinning kick to his face, knocking him to the ground. Seto looked up at Yugi in anger.

"Stay away from Yugi, Seto Kaiba," Yami snarled, "Or you will have a five thousand year old Pharaoh to deal with." Yami stormed out of the bathroom and readjusted Yugi's clothing as he returned to the classroom.

'Yugi, I'll play you for the rest of the day, you just let you mind rest,' Yami said to Yugi who sighed in content.

"Thank you Yami,' replied Yugi and his mind drifted off to sleep.

The bell rang and the students filed out into the courtyard to eat their lunches and get away from the lecturing teachers for at least thirty minutes. Yami flopped himself down onto a bench that was shaded by the trees and leaned his head back, closing his eyes as he did so. He as tired both mentally and physically. The bond that held Yami in Yugi's mind was making him tired, and Yugi still slept peacefully in his child room. Whenever Yami tried to wake him, Yugi would whimper in fear and turn into a trembling ball. The incident with Seto that morning had terrified the boy immensely. Yami sighed, wishing that he could just make Yugi forget and fall asleep with him like they did the night before.

"Hey Yugi!" called a girl with honey brown hair. Yami opened his eyes and sat up. The girl came over and sat next to him.

"Hello," Yami said politely, "Did you want something?"

"Yes," replied Jade as she opened her lunch, "I wanted to know if you were alright. You left class so quickly that I was worried about you." She took a bite of her Subway sandwich, and waited for him to reply.

"Oh…err," Yami stuttered as he looked at Jade and then asked, "You were worried about Yugi…I mean me?"

"Of course I was worried about you!" Jade replied, "I feel…like we have a special bond together, but it's not like the bond between two lovers."

"What kind of bond is it then?"

"It's more like…the bond between family members. Like, I love you but only as a father or something remotely like that."

"I see."

"Do you love anyone Yugi?" Yugi suddenly awoke in his mind and regained control of his body once more, much to the relief of Yami, who sighed as the boy took over.

"Do I love somebody?" Yugi repeated and blushed, "I…I do, b-but they only see me as a friend. What about you? Do you love some one Jade?"

"Me?!" Jade said in a high voice and blushed, "Well…I…I…uh. Heh-heh, um. Alright, I'll tell you. You see that boy over there with the white hair? He's sitting on the stone wall listening to his disc man and drawing in his book. He's the one I love. When I am with him, I can't stop smiling and I feel warm around him."

Yugi looked in the direction that Jade pointed to and saw Bakura sitting on the stone wall and eating his lunch, but he was looking in their direction periodically.

"That's Bakura!" Yugi replied with a grin, "You should tell him how you feel. He's looking at you right now and giving me the evil eye, and when he does that…let's just say I don't want to be around. Go talk to him Jade!"

"Ya know what?" she sad and stood up, "I think that I will."

Jade began to walk towards Bakura, who stopped what he was doing and was watching her, when she stopped and turned back to Yugi.

"Yugi," Jade said firmly, "Go tell the one you love how you truly feel about him. If he understands, then he will love you too."

"Wait, how did you know…?" Yugi said as Jade winked at him and went over to Bakura and engaged the blushing boy in conversation.
