~*~Chapter 4 * Revive~*~
Joey, Tea, Tristan, Ryou, and Bakura were all waiting for Yami to come so they could finally see Yugi.
"He should have been here ten minuets ago!" Ryou said, checking his watch again.
"That's the dumb pharaoh for you!" Bakura retorted.
"Yea, you'd think Yami would have been here first." Tea commented.
"He was really urgent on the phone." Tristan complained.
"I know. When's he gonna get here? I mean, come on." Joey griped.
"Yami's not going to be her. He apparently has better things to do than see his poor, hospitalized hikari that tried to commit suicide." Everyone gasped at what Seto had said. Seto was walking towards them, Mokuba was right behind them. "He told me to meet you guys here."
"Why?" Tea asked, still shocked with the news about Yugi.
"I don't know and I really don't care. Yugi is my only concern right now, not Yami's underhanded methods to avoid guilt." Seto replied flatly.
"Wait, why would Yami feel guilty?" Ryou asked suddenly, "Unless my suspicions were correct..." He looked at Bakura, fear evident in his eyes. "You don't think-" he couldn't finish.
"Well, I for one would like to know what is going on." Joey said.
"When I talked to Yugi I asked him why he tried to um, kill himself, he told me 'Yami' an that that bit-" Seto stopped, looked at Mokuba, and continued "jerk made him upset. I bet, Ryou, that you thought Yami might have been abusing Yugi." Ryou nodded. "Anyways, Yami isn't the issue...yet. Right now we should go see Yugi." Everyone agreed and followed Seto to Yugi's room.
~*~Yugi's POV~*~
I stare at the ceiling. I am so stupid. If it weren't for Kaiba-I mean Seto, I'd be dead now. I doubt Yami really cares. Seto seems to, but, I don't know. How did my k\life become such a mess? I guess it all started about 4 months ago...
~~Flashback~~
"Yugi, what's for dinner?" a tired Yami asked.
"Yami, what do you mean? It is your turn to cook. You didn't forget did you?" Yugi asked innocently, smiling in amusement.
"Shut-up"
"What?"
"I'm not in a mood for your dumb games Yugi!"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. Now shut up or else."
"But, what are you gonna do about dinner?"
"GO MAKE IT!"
"But-" Yugi was cut short when Yami grabbed him and slammed him into the wall and twisted his arm. Yugi managed to turn his head enough to see Yami smirking at him.
"Now you know what will happen when you don't obey." Yami said in a quiet, dangerous voice. "Now make me dinner and don't you dare tell anyone about this. If you do I'll show you the true meaning of pain.
~~End Flashback~~
Yami didn't hurt me very often, about once a week, and never very badly. But then I did something 'stupid,' that changed that...I saved my friend's life.
~~Flashback~~
"Well Ryou, it appears that you want to save your pathetic yami. I'll just have to kill you first." Yami sneered as he charged his magic to slaughter Ryou and Bakura.
"NO!!! RYOU, GET AWAY!! RUN!!" Yugi yelled as he grabbed Yami and managed to pull him down.
"Yugi, be careful!" Ryou called hoarsely.
"RYOU GO!!! HURRY!!" Came Yugi's strained reply. Finally, Bakura and Ryou were gone.
"Never-hurt-them-again!" Yugi cried.
"Fine...I swear." The pharaoh mumbled, not having much of a choice. Yugi moved off his windpipe, and Yami took a deep breath of air. "But, then again, I never said anything about you."
~~End Flashback~~
I shuttered as I remembered one of my two worst beatings ever. One of the things that made it really bad, among others, was that he, in his blind rage, cut me from my shoulder to my waist. Not to deep, but very painful. And the blood. That was the worst part. It made me sick, to see it sliding down my bare chest. I hated it; the feel, the sent, the taste. My other really bad beating happened about week later.
~~Flashback~~
Yugi walked home, happy that all that remained of the week-ago beating was a scar and some dull pain. He made dinner and went up to do his homework. Then he waited for Yami to get home.
*SLAM* Yugi jumped and shuttered. Yami was home and was obviously in a horrible mood. Yugi figured there was a 99% chance Yami would take out his anger on him.
"YUGI, WHERE ARE YOU?!?! GET DOWN HERE!" Yami's cold voice called, sending a numbing fear through Yugi's body. Yugi crept to the living room. 'Yugi, do you know where I was today?" Yami asked in a sweet voice. Yugi shuttered at the sweetness. Something was wrong.
"N-n-no, I d-don't" Yugi shakily replied.
"Well, I was with Tea. She doesn't want to go out with me anymore. By the way, talk to her and you will pay. Dearly. But now, I need someway to relive my anger. Come here Yugi" Yami sneered as Yugi trembling form came closer.
~~End Flashback~~
I winced. Yami had beaten me for hours, and for a while I was sure that I would die; either from physical damage or because my soul was being shattered. And, finally, I did shatter.
~*~Normal POV~*~
As Tea, Joey, Ryou, Bakura, Mokuba and Tristan followed Seto, Seto told them about how he found Yugi. All of them were horrified. Finally, they reached Yugi's room. They entered and Seto cleared the room in three strides then sat down next to Yugi. "Yugi, your friends are here." Seto commented to Yugi, who was staring blankly at the ceiling, and it was clear that Yugi was not really there.
"Yugi, it's me, Mokuba. Are you going to be okay? I hope so, I would miss you if you were gone." Mokuba whispered, as he fought back tears that welled up in his eyes whenever he looked at the normally cheerful boy, now barley alive.
"I'd miss you too!" Joey and Tristan exclaimed at the same time.
"Yugi, I say, don't give up. You're bloody good at beating the odds. You've done it before, you can do it again." Ryou murmured, looking at his friends still form. 'Please' he prayed.
"Boy, I will make the fucking pharaoh pay for this." Bakura muttered angrily.
"BAKURA!!" Seto shouted.
"What?"
"Watch your filthy mouth in front of my brother!" Seto exclaimed angrily.
"Oops."
While they were arguing, Tea leaned over, kissed Yugi's forehead, and whispered, "Be okay Yugi. I can't loose you. I-I love you." Yugi's lips twitched into a smile for a second.
Soon all of them had settled down, except for Bakura, who decided to go and hunt down Yami. Everyone else decided to stay and keep vigil over Yugi, praying that he would survive and heal, as he was still in the danger zone. All the tubes and such attached to him proved that.
"Yugi" Tea whispered, then finally feel asleep, exhausted like everyone else from crying. All eyes were now closed, except for a pair of hard blue eyes with tears in them. 'Yami, you will pay for this.' He thought vengefully.
