Yami woke up in the middle of the night. He looked around and saw Seo, Keith, and Yii all asleep in their beds, he also noticed Seto asleep on the chair next to Yugi's bed. Speaking about Yugi's bed, where was Yugi?

Feeling slightly alarmed Yami jumped out of bed and ran out in the hall. Eyeing only one other light on he ran that way hoping to find someone to help him locate Yugi. When he came to the room he saw that it was the bathroom and Yugi was there, throwing up.

"By Ra Yugi, are you okay?" Yami asked kneeling down next to Yugi.

Yugi looked at him before turning his head to throw up again. Yami stood and got a cup out of the dispenser and filled it with cold water, then he offered it to Yugi when his throwing up had subsided.

Yugi got a small amount down before he had to throw up again. Yami was feeling a bit useless so he just rubbed small circles on Yugi's back hoping it would help. Yugi appeared extremely worn and tired.

"Let us go back to your room Yugi, you need some more rest, you fever is still high," Yami said placing a cool hand on his forehead. Yugi tried to stand up but ended collapsing over the toilet again and throwing up the water that Yami had just given.

"Yugi, come here," Yami said opening his arms and allowing Yugi to climb into them. Yami picked Yugi up gently, Yugi weakly gripped Yami's shirt and Yami carried him back to the room.

Yami laid Yugi on the bed and went to return to his seat but Yugi's held a weak grip to his hand.

"No Yami, please stay with me," Yugi begged, Yami smiled and lay down next to Yugi. Yugi placed his head on Yami's chest and fell asleep to the beating of his heart.

When Seo woke up in the morning he was in his own bed. Seo thought that it was maybe just a dream but when he saw Yugi's look-alike sleeping in Yugi's bed. Seo got out of bed and trudged over to Yami's empty seat.

'I should have stopped myself, I should have stopped them, and how cold I let them use me like that, he is such and innocent little boy.' Seo thought thinking that he was a total jack ass.

Seto was the next to wake up, he was surprised to see Yami in bed with Yugi and Seo sitting in Yami's chair waiting for Yugi to wake up.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Seto asked quietly as to not disturb the small boy and his other half. Seto's hand went to the pocket of his trench coat and a small click was heard by only him.

"I wanted to tell Yugi how sorry I was for what happened," Seo said, not meeting Seto's ice blue eyes.

"You weren't alone during this, why are you taking the blame all by yourself?" Seto asked, he wanted the boy to confess for his friends.

"Because they will hurt me, and maybe they will go after Yugi again," Seo said, instantly regretting the words that came out of his mouth.

"So they did hurt him, I need you to tell me what happened, it may help us help Yugi," Seto said, telling a small white lie, Yugi was going to be okay as soon as the fever broke.

"Okay, a few nights ago Keith made a plan to get Yugi out of our room. He was also jealous over Yugi because there had been talk that he was only here temporarily and that he was getting to a new home soon. Keith wants a home real bad so he wanted to get Yugi for just being himself I guess. I am the weakest of the group so they talked me into befriending Yugi with the soul purpose to hurt him. We went out to eat lunch and before we left the kitchen Keith slipped a drug into Yugi's drink that limited his movements," Seto decided to intervene at this point.

"He gave Yugi a drug, do you know what kind, Yugi may be allergic," Seto asked.

"No, Keith just said that he got it from the last time his gang friend came to visit. So anyway I went outside to eat and that's when they jumped him, they started kicking his and then it started to rain," Seo said, he had a bad feeling about this and he was starting to cry thinking about what eh had done.

"Hey there its okay as slow and you need to, now about what time did it start to rain?" Seto asked.

"About five thirty I guess, then we left him there, you didn't show up until at least four hours later," Seo said, Seto nodded and clicked the recorder off again. Seo slumped back in his chair, he had a feeling that telling Seto Kaiba all this stuff was going to come back a bit him in the ass.

Yami was the next to wake up, he was surprised slightly to find Yugi curled up at his side but he remembered the night before and moved slowly and quietly as to not wake Yugi up.

"Good to see you up Yami," Seto said startling Yami and making him fall on top of Yugi.

Yugi woke up with a moan, his ribs sore from all the kicks he got. "Sorry Yugi," Yami said throwing a death glare to Seto. "How are you feeling?" Yami asked.

"Better, I guess, thanks for last night Yami," Yugi said smiling, knowing that Yami would always take care of him.

"Your welcome my little light," Yami said taking some stray hairs off of Yugi's rosy face.

"Yugi," Came a weak small voice from behind Yami. Yami turned around, surprised to see Seo sitting there looking guilty again.

"S-Seo," Yugi stuttered uncertainly.

"I am so sorry that this happened to you Yugi," Seo said, he had a tear in his eyes but he held them in.

"I f-f-for-forgive y-you," Yugi said, though it seemed he was scared, especially the way he was hiding behind Yami.

Seo nodded and left the room to go and get some breakfast. Seto smiled at Yugi and Yami and said, "I got the whole story, don't worry Yugi it's not safe for you here, you will come home with me soon enough," Seto said patting Yugi on the head. Yugi nodded and fell asleep; hopefully this one would last without any throwing up fits in the middle.
