*~ A few days later~*

"You ok Yugi?" Yami asked for about the thousandth time. Ever since the accident, Yami had been very worried about Yugi. Sometimes at night, Yugi would wake up screaming and sobbing.

"Yes Yugi. I'm fine."

As they went walking through the park, Yami kept a constant eye on his light. After a while they sat down under a tree, Yugi looked around. He saw a man pulling at the arm of his child, trying to get her to go with him. Yugi looked away and closed his eyes.

~~flashback~~

After the mystery man was done with Yugi, he untied him and left him there, sobbing. Trembling, he put on his clothes and stumbled out, looking for someone to help him. All he found in the park were some bullies from school who were more than happy to leave him in the crotch of that tree, bleeding and broken in spirit and in health. There he stayed for a good two hours, waiting for some, anyone, especially Yami to notice him.

~~End flashback~~

"Yugi??"

Yugi jumped a little. "Yes?"

"Are you sure you don't want to go home?" Yami asked, taking one of Yugi's small hands in his own.

Yugi leaned up against Yami, glad for the comfort his darker side offered. "I don't know what I want Yami. I'm really confused right now."

Yami wrapped an arm around Yugi and planted a soft kiss on the top of his head. 'You don't need to worry Yugi.' Yami thought. 'I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.'

After a few days, Yugi seemed to forget what happened. Or so he said. Yami still sometimes was awakened from a deep slumber only to see his sweet Yugi thrashing around on the bed, screaming in fear. It didn't happen very often, t it still happened.

On one particular night, Yami was doing his best to calm Yugi down. He had started to hyperventilate while he was screaming and now he was having trouble breathing.

"Shh. Yugi. It's ok."

All Yugi could do was wheeze and cough.

Yami carefully kissed him on the nose before curling up with him in the recliner and rocking him to sleep. Yami after awhile fell asleep too.

I know my chapters are a little short, but I'm trying to build a little suspense. Lemon coming up in the next chappie or two if you review.
