When Yugi woke in the morning he was slightly startled to not feel Yami's warm body next to his own.

/Yami/ Yugi called out in alarm, worried on the whereabouts of his other half.

//Calm down aibou, I am in the puzzle, I was afraid that you would have this kind of reaction, you must get use to me not being there when you wake up// Yami said, he sounded tired.

/Sorry Yami, it's just that, well, I was worried that something had happened to you/ Yugi said letting out a sigh of relief.

//Yugi, Seto had to unfortunately leave to go on a business trip so I will be in the puzzle when they come to pick you up. You need to be strong and brave as you tell them that the puzzle is something that you wish to keep with you, being the case that it is they most likely won't take it away so you should be okay there// Yami said, he was still giving Yugi instructions when the social workers came in the door. To them Yugi just looked totally spaced out.

"Excuse me, Mr. Motou, is everything okay?" one of them said, they had come as soon as they had heard that Seto Kaiba had left the country, even though it wasn't part of their plan.

"What, oh hello," Yugi said trying to keep the bad feeling he had in his chest away. He swallowed the lump in his throat and tried to figure out why they were here so early, they were suppose to give him another day in the hospital.

"We have come to take you, do you have any personal belongings?" the female of the two asked.

"Just my p-p-puzzle, please d-don't take it," Yugi said, he was scared of them, he didn't know why but he was. He could feel Yami giving him support within the link.

"Anything else?" The man asked, a bit more harshly. Yugi nodded slightly, "Well what is it boy?" he demanded.

"Just my d-deck, it's in m-my pocket, in t-the jacket over t-there," "Just my d-deck, it's in m-my pocket, in t-the jacket over t-there," Yugi said, the woman went and took the deck out and handed it to Yugi. She offered him a smile and he gave her a weak one back.

A nurse came and helped Yugi into a wheelchair, and then they left the hospital. Yugi conversed with Yami slightly, keeping his eyes out for the place he was going to stay.

When they pulled up it looked nice enough from the outside, Yugi was helped into the place by the lady and then to a room that had four beds, all but one messed up.

The lady led Yugi to the made bed and let his lay down on it, then she told him about the other occupants of the room.

"We have Keith, he had a bad temper, and a suggestion is to not bother him. There is also Yii, he is a nice boy, a bit withdrawn, has been said to be a lackie of Keith so not a good option for a friend. He use to live in Egypt but he was moved here and then his parents died, he joined Keith's group of orphans before they were all picked up. The last of the group is also part of Keith's group, one of the worst tempered, even worse then Keith. Seo is his name; he use to be such a nice boy, Keith sure has changed him," The lady informed Yugi and he hung on her every word. According to this lady it is dangerous to hang with any of these boys. She nodded for him to have a good day and then left.

//What kind of place rooms innocent boys like yourself with these rebels?// Yami asked obviously appalled.

/I will just avoid them Yami, I don't plan on getting any friends here any way/ Yugi told Yami.

//Why not aibou?// Yami asked.

/Because, I never had very many friends, and these people, they don't...well, I am sort of scared of them, because of their descriptions/ Yugi was going to go on but a sound of a door opening broke his concentration.

"Look what we got here boy, a new boy, I thought they wouldn't allow anyone to bunk with us, especially after that other kid's hospital bill," the huge boy said.

"H-h-hello, m-m-my name is Yu-Yugi," Yugi said timidly.

"What do you want from us?" The boy to the huge boy's right said.

"W-w-w-what's y-your n-name?" Yugi asked, they were most definitely intimidating.

"Oh, is that what ya wanted shrimp, I'm Keith, this is Yii and the last one's Seo," The huge one said, Yugi, not being able to form words just nodded.

"Not much of a talker is he Yii?" Seo asked. Yii nodded and smiled wickedly at Yugi.

Their little party was broken up by a counselor who was telling them that it was lunch time. After the three boys ran out the counselor, who Yugi now knew as Ruka, helped him into the cafeteria and to a seat, he got Yugi some food and then left. Yii had just punched a kid in the face and they had to break up the fight.

Yugi pushed his food around the plate and talked to Yami about how he was feeling at the moment.

/I don't like it here at all, my room mates hate me/ Yugi said.

//There, there aibou I'm sure it will get better// Yami said, but Yami was wrong, the whole day was a blur of insults and pushed here and there. At the end of the day Yugi collapsed into the bed exhausted. He was emotionally worn and just wanted to fall asleep. Unfortunately Seo didn't want to let that happen, he had plans for little Yugi...

Like I said, this is the last chapter for a while....Sorry it's so short but I have to start studying. I have some extras for you though, review and I'll right latta

Meaning of names

Ryou: The name of Ryou gives you a very idealistic nature. Your desire for peace and harmony causes you to withdraw from situations where there is friction and acrimony. You are quite reserved and inclined to feel sensitive and self-conscious, even though you strive to appear poised and confident. Being rather secretive in many ways, and not liking people to pry into your affairs restrict opportunities for friendship; not until you feel you can trust others do you open up to them. The desire to help others and the generous side of your nature attract those who take advantage of you. You lack the necessary aggressiveness for business success. While you lack verbal expression and spontaneity under this name, you have a natural literary ability and writing comes easily to you. You also have a deep appreciation of nature and all the finer things in life. Weaknesses in the health arising from the use of this name affect the respiratory organs, and the nervous system.

Seo: As Seo, you are spontaneous, happy-go-lucky, and you enjoy the company of others--the more the merrier. You make friends easily as people are attracted to your warm and generous nature. However, you have to watch that others do not take advantage of your generosity, for you are apt to be influenced by hard-luck stories and give when it might be more prudent not to. You are ever on the watch for ways and means of making some "easy money" because this name destroys initiative and ambition, producing an easy-going, come-what-may nature which attaches value to money only for the self-enjoyment it can offer. Misunderstandings could exist in your personal life because of this emotional power which you have difficulty controlling and also because of a difficulty in accepting a responsibility and seeing it through. You are apt to leave a project unfinished and go on to something else. Routine and system are foreign to your life, and, of course, these assets are an integral part of any successful undertaking. You are fond of sweets and rich foods and your tendency to eat heavily, causes overweight. You could be subject to skin disorders, swelling of the legs and ankles, fluid function disorders or weakness affecting the back.

Yii: The name of Yii gives you a very idealistic nature. Your desire for peace and harmony causes you to withdraw from situations where there is friction and acrimony. You are quite reserved and inclined to feel sensitive and self-conscious, even though you strive to appear poised and confident. Being rather secretive in many ways, and not liking people to pry into your affairs restrict opportunities for friendship; not until you feel you can trust others do you open up to them. The desire to help others and the generous side of your nature attract those who take advantage of you. You lack the necessary aggressiveness for business success. While you lack verbal expression and spontaneity under this name, you have a natural literary ability and writing comes easily to you. You also have a deep appreciation of nature and all the finer things in life. Weaknesses in the health arising from the use of this name affect the respiratory organs, and the nervous system. (The same a Ryou, don't ask me I got it off a sight!)
