Disclaimer: Come on I think you know by now that I do NOT own this I mean please people, this is memorization.

Notes: Congratulations to Lil Bre who happens to be the 100th reviewer...and of course to Meroko who has stuck with me in all of my fics...the "Fateful reviewer award." And um...to all the other reviewers, I would like to thank you for all of your support. Um, this fic isn't going on much longer, but I have been thinking about the next one. It will however have a nice happy ending!!!!

Last night I went to a German awards dinner because I was fourth on Long island so I got this plaque thing and a whole bunch of stuff from Germany and also a free dinner. The best part of course. And I got a nice bracelet from my Grandma; it has my name on it too! Anyway, I am going away this weekend for a basketball tournament, I will think about the story but will be unable to write, sorry.

In the morning Yugi and Yami woke to the shrill of the phone ringing.

"Yami would you get that?" Yugi asked not wanting to fully wake up or move for that matter.

"Are you kidding me, that thing is possessed it is ringing without anyone touching it, it must be some sort of magic!" Yami said looking at it like it could bite.

"Yami, it's a phone, pick it up, put it to your ear, and talk," Yugi said, he was still tired and it seemed Yami didn't want him to sleep.

"HELLO!!!" Yami yelled into the wrong end of the phone.

"Yami, give it to me," Yugi said regretfully as he slowly moved himself into a sitting position. He was still soar and he couldn't even try to stifle the moan.

"Hello," he said a bit lethargically.

"Hey, Yug? Man I have been looking all ova for ya, where have ya been, I came ta your house yesterday but no one was home...someone said dey saw ya going to the Kaiba house, what's with dat?" It was obviously Joey, the accent gave it away.

"Joey, how did you know I was here, who told you, who was the person that knew?" Yugi asked now fully awake.

"I duno, some woman, she had blond hair with violet eyes, she had a nasty black and blue on her forehead, um I'd say about five three maybe shorter, why?" Joey asked, he didn't understand why Yugi was so worried that someone knew where he was.

Yugi covered the phone and turned to Yami who was watching him with concern.

"She knows," was all he said, Yami nodded and quickly left to fine Seto Kaiba.

"Joey, don't tell anyone else where I am, don't tell your sister or even Tea, have you told her already?" Yugi asked, he was worried for his friend's safety.

"Nah, I just found out, Tea and Serenity are out right now, and Yug what's bothering ya?" Joey asked.

"I can't tell you over the phone, I will send Yami to school as me on tomorrow, take care of him he doesn't know much about these times. I will send him with a note or...something," Yugi said taking a sharp breath in, his chest was burning and he was forced to lie back down.

"Yug, are you okay, ya sound in pain," Joey observed.

"I'm fine," Yugi lied through gritted teeth.

"No you aren't, I will find out in dat note right?" Joey asked.

"Yea, I have to go," Yugi said and hung up the phone, Yugi grabbed hit chest with a pillow close to his chest, it hurt, the burning hurt so much.

Yami re-entered the room with Seto following close behind,

"She knows Yugi, hoe do you know this?" Seto asked.

"That was my friend, Joey Wheeler; he said a woman, who matched my mother's description perfectly, told him that I was staying at the Kaiba mansion. She knows that I am here, it's only a matter of time before she comes to take me away, back there..." Yugi said starting to hyperventilate.

"Yugi, I have more body guards then the president of the United States I think I can keep one bad mother out of my home, if not then I need new body guards," Seto said sitting down on Yugi's bed.

"Yugi, I will also be here to protect you, how badly does your chest hurt?" Yami asked.

"It hurts Yami," Yugi said as he pulled the pillow harder to his chest.

"Yugi, lay back, calm down, and just breathe in and out. About that woman, she will not get anywhere near here, what does she look like?" Seto said calmly as he gently pushed Yugi onto his back.

"Blond hair, v-violet eyes, f-f-five foot t-three, s-she has a b-bruise f- from where y-you h-h-hit her," Yugi said as some tears fell from his eyes.

"Can't you give him something for the pain?" Yami asked, he hated seeing his light in pain.

"No he hasn't eaten yet, he has to have eaten in the last five hours for me to give him the medicine the doctor said would help with the pain," Seto said solemnly. "Just comfort him, make him go to sleep, the pain will subside and when he wakes we will get some food into him," Seto said and left the room to get the guards outside Yugi's room and window's.

"He is trying Yugi, now calm down and try to fall asleep like he said," Yami said soothingly as he lay next to the trembling Yugi.

"Yami, y-y-you have t-to g-go to school t-tomorrow," Yugi said as his eyes started to drop.

"I have no need to go to places like that," Yami said.

Yugi didn't say anything, with his last few minutes before he fell asleep he gave Yami a look that said 'please just trust me'

"I will go then Yugi, for you my aibou," Yami said as he too fell into a slumber stroking Yugi hair lightly.
