Yugi stayed with Joey and Tea almost the whole day. It would seem that they had a lot of classes together but they never noticed.
While they were walking home from school Yugi stayed close to Joey, he was following them home though he lived the other way. It didn't matter to Yugi, he was just happy to have friends.
Yugi had found out through out the day that Joey and Tea lived together with Joey's little sister. Both of their parents had been killed but Joey had somehow gotten a house and Tea, being one of his best friends stayed with them.
Yugi had kept away from his history or anything about his family. Anytime a question came up about him he would turn it around to them. Tea seemed to love to talk so she sure as hell never noticed but Yugi was suspicious that Joey did.
"Bye guys, I'll see you tomorrow," Yugi said as they turned to go to their house.
"Bye Yug, see ya tomorrow," Joey said as he opened the door.
"Yea Bye Yugi, do you want us to come around to your house," Tea started but then it dawned on her that they didn't know where he loved. "Um, where do you live Yugi?"
"Um, no I'll j-just think I-I'll pick y-you up h-here no?" Yugi said as he ran off.
"Well, that was a bit rude don't you think Joey?" Tea said, when she turned to see Joey's face he had a stern expression, like he was thinking. (Ah, run for your life!)
"Joey, is something bothering you?" she asked.
"Well, I was thinking, ya know I do get in a lot a fights, and I do get the crap beaten' out of me an awful lot. I mean Yug did say he got beaten' up by the bullies....but I don't think he's tellin' us the whole truth ya know," Joey said.

Yugi ran to get home, his parent's had to be home already and he had a feeling, the fact that liquor was hard to come by would make them rather irritable.
Yugi got home and once again tried to get to his room quietly. He passed his parent's room only to hear moans coming from it. Yugi tried to block the sound out and ran to his room. Happy when he got there without any confrontation.
Yami was soon out of the puzzle squatting next to Yugi. "Yugi, I'm sorry you had to hear that," Yami said quietly because he could feel Yugi trembling under Yami's comforting hand.
"It wasn't that sounds Yami, it was the people," Yugi said burring his head into Yami's shoulder.
"Shhh, Yugi's it's okay I know they have caused you a lot of pain," Yami said, then there was a slam of a door.
"The reason I'm so upset is because....that wasn't my mom," Yugi said, as he finished there was a lot of screaming coming from the second floor.
~*
"You stupid fucker, how could you sheet on me. You are such a fucking son of a bitch. My God, and with that two bit whore! You can kiss my ass Takahiro," Shiko screamed.
"Well, since I wasn't getting any from you bitch I had to look else where," Takahiro screamed, and then a slap was heard. After that there was a slam of a door, indicating that one of Yugi's parents had left.
*~
Yugi dried his tears and looked at Yami in a pleading way. "Get in the puzzle please Yami," Yugi said, he was on the verge of crying.
"No Yugi, I can't let them hurt you like this," Yami said, Yugi started to cry.
"Yami, please, I am begging you, please go back in, where it's safe," and with that Yugi pulled out a deadly weapon, his puppy dog eyes.
Yami, as much as he didn't want to, disappeared into the puzzle without another word. Yugi took off the puzzle and hide it under the loose floorboard.
As soon as he did the door burst open, there stood a very angry Takahiro.
"D-d-d-dad I'm s-s-s-so s-s-s-so-sorry," Yugi tried to apologize but the use of the word 'dad' seemed to infuriate him more.
The first hit came to Yugi in the head making him instantly dizzy. The next came to his rib cage, which hurt a lot because of the bruise he still had there. Yugi gasped for air as it quickly left his small body.
Yami watched this through his lights eyes; he tried to bust out, without Yugi's permission when he found it impossible. He wasn't on Yugi's body; the boy had taken the puzzle off!
"Yugi, God, please hang on," Yami said, as a single tear fell down his face.
Yugi felt more and more pain as the blows kept coming. Yugi suddenly got a sporadic idea to try and run. Unfortunately the floor wasn't going to allow it and as soon as Yugi's foot hit the ground the floor caved in and trapped his ankle.
Yugi cried out in pain as the sharp edges of the wood dug into his skin drawing blood. Takahiro just continued to kick Yugi, no regret in his eyes.
Finally Takahiro got tired of beating on his twelve year old son and left the room in rage. Most likely to go and get drunk.
Yugi reached out and lifted the floorboard; he took the puzzle and placed it around his neck. His last act before he let the darkness overwhelm him.
Yami flew out of the puzzle at lightning speed and to Yugi. "Oh Ra, Yugi, how could he do this to you?" Yami whispered to no one and he carefully untangled Yugi's bloody ankle from the floor. Then he lifted Yugi's small body onto his futon.
Yami ran out of the room and was quick to return with a bowl of warm water and a washcloth.
Yami went to quick work cleaning and dressing Yugi's injuries. It took him over an hour but it was worth the time.
"Yami," Yugi's weak moan came out.
"By Ra Yugi, why did you take off the puzzle I could have help you, saved you, something!" Yami said, there were tears in his eyes.
Yugi reached up and brushed a tear off of Yami's face. "Don't cry for me Yami, please, I'm not worth it," Yugi said.
"Don't say that Yugi, you are my world," Yami said.
"Thanks Yami, especially for staying in the puzzle while, while that was going on," Yugi said.
Yami didn't have anything to say as he watched Yugi go to sleep, he wasn't going to wake the boy, and he needed his sleep.
The next morning was just as hectic. Yugi woke up a bit late and had to run to get to Joey's house, it hurt, his ankle but he did his best to get there on time. Amazingly they had waited but the both had a worried look on their faces as Yugi limped up to them to greet them.
"Yug, what happened to your ankle?" Joey asked. Yugi noted he was having a really hard time hearing Joey but brushed it off.
"Um, w-w-we-well I a-a-am really c-c-c-c-clumsy and I f-fell down a f-few stairs y-yes-yesterday," Yugi said, the pain was still their but the Motrin that eh took earlier was setting in.
"Well, I'm happy about one thing; we have a hearing test today instead of History!" Tea said enthusiastically.
"A w-what test?" Yugi said because he couldn't hear anything out of one ear. /Oh now, I think my dad really permanently hurt me, this time/ Yugi thought to himself, well he tried to.
//What do you mean Yugi?// Yami asked.
/I think I'm deaf in one ear it's no loss, I can read lips pretty well/ Yugi told his darker half as school came into view. This was going to be a long day.

Yugi isn't deaf completely, just in one ear so far. It will play a part later in the fic, just not yet. Please review! Until next time!
