Chapter 7 - The Attack
*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~***~*~**~*~***~*
Yugi woke up, and stretched a little, he noticed he was curled up in a little ball, and that his head was in Yami's lap. Yami was leaning against the wall, the box of chocolates behind him, his hand clutching it like if he let go of it he would die. Yugi sat up and yawned, then it dawned on him, he had school! He jumped up, and got ready as quickly as he could. He checked himself in the mirror, and smiled at his reflection. He threw his backpack over his shoulder, and gripped at the doorknob. Something caught his arm, and he looked back, a little surprised. He noticed Yami smiling down at him.
"What. No goodbye?" Yami smiled, and drew back his hand, and let his arm fall to his side.
"Goodbye, Yami!" Yugi smiled, and waved back at him as he left the home and the game shop. Yugi walked a little slower to school, because he didn't feel like being too early like yesterday. When he got there, there was absolutely no sign of anyone at all, he found that a little too suspicious. He looked around, and went inside the school, where there were dozens of people crowded around a paper tacked up on a bulletin board. He walked over to a smaller crowd of people, and stood on the tips of his toes to see what it was. But he couldn't see over anyone's head, he was just too short. He sighed, and waited until a few more people left, and pushed himself through the crowd until he was at the front. He stared at the paper that was the centre of attention.
The paper had a large picture of a painting, and the paper was all about a contest with prizes to see who could do the best imitation of a certain painting. Yugi shrugged, and pushed himself back through the crowd, and out an empty hallway. There he sat down on the ground, and opened up his binder, to go over his notes for science class.
The whole morning went without interruptions by anything, and Yugi had a pretty good time, surprisingly. At the end of the day, he rushed home, his class had been let out one hour earlier! He was really anxious to go back home to Yami and his chocolates. On the way home, he decided to take a short cut, but through an alleyway. It wasn't dark, so it wouldn't matter if he went down the alley or not. All around him he could feel eyes staring down at him, and things moved in the shadows and behind trash cans. Yugi felt a little uneasy, and quickened his pace considerably. Then a few figures emerged from the shadows, and chased after him. That's when he felt his adrenaline rushing throughout his body, and he ran even faster. He was so close to getting out of the alley. Just a few more steps, he told himself. Just a few more.
"Gotcha!" An evil, cold voice yelled out as the man jumped at Yugi, and grabbed his waist, bringing them both down to the ground with a thud. Yugi cried out, and squirmed around under the dirty man's weight. Yugi tried desperately to get away, but others surrounded them, and the man on top of Yugi grinned with an evil look on his face. "We've gotcha now, haven't we?" Voices around him murmured with agreement, and nodded. They all laughed maniacally. Yugi shivered, despite his efforts to remain calm and collected. And brave.
"What do you want???" Yugi asked, trying to keep his voice at a steady level, loud enough for anyone to hear.
"Shut up, kid. We just wanna have some fun with y'all!" He laughed, and his 'followers' all laughed along with him, and Yugi knew that he was really outnumbered.
"Just leave me alone!" Yugi kicked at the man with his free leg, and hit him square in the forehead. The man growled at him, and lunged forward, and gripped his hand around Yugi's neck, making it very hard for him to breathe.
"No way, you stupid little brat. I said we wanted to have fun with ya, and that's just what we gonna do." The man spat at Yugi's face, and let go of his neck. Yugi wiped away the horrid smelling spit from his face, and frowned with a look of disgust on his face.
"No, I - I'll yell, and I - I'll fight you! All of you!" Yugi knew it sounded foolish, but he needed to keep them talking, so that he could concentrate on finding a way out of the situation. They all laughed.
"I'd like to see y'all try that, you twerp. You're all jackasses, that's what you are, thinking that you're better than us, an' we are gettin' sick of it. So we wanna make an example of yeh!" He laughed, and poked his face into Yugi's. Yugi shivered again, and felt their coldness towards him getting stronger. Yugi could find no way out.
The man grabbed Yugi, and slammed him up against the wall, before kicking him and punching him and slapping him to no end. Yugi couldn't stop him, he had no way to, they were all so tall. He could feel his head pounding, and his heart was racing. Every hit he took only made him feel worse. The man finally stopped, and let him drop to the ground. He kicked him in the stomach, and Yugi felt tears stinging his eyes as he clutched his stomach. Then another man came up to him, and he was much larger than the first one. He kneeled down beside Yugi, and forced him into a sitting position. He ripped open Yugi's shirt, and stared down at Yugi, and he licked his lips.
Yugi knew what was going to happen, he was terrified. No, not me, not now. He thought, and closed his eyes as he thrashed out at the men who were struggling to hold him down. He felt his pants being pulled off, and he sobbed quietly. He was horrified and terrified, and he didn't want to be in that position. He cried out for his Yami, and they had to hold his mouth shut to keep him from alerting the whole neighbourhood. He felt the hot tears streaming down his face, as he struggled against his captors, and tried to get free. He felt the an touching him in unspeakable places, and Yugi shivered again, he but his captors hands, and cried out even louder. He was so terrified he might as well be falling off of a cliff, drowning, or being buried alive by millions of live bugs and animals, that's how scared he was. That's when it hit him.
/ Yami! Help! / Yugi cried out though his mind link, and concentrated on it sounding exactly like what he was feeling.
// Aibou? Where are you? // Yugi heard the response, and cried out as he felt the man touching him again, and he felt dozens of hands moving along on his body. He screamed as one man let go of his mouth. He screamed so loud he thought the whole world might hear.
/ Yami. Please. I'm. Help me. Alley. / Yugi tried to concentrate, but he couldn't, he was being kicked in the head again, for being so loud. The evil bums that surrounded him were laughing at him. Yugi felt his eyelids drooping, but forced himself to stay awake for as long as possible, he needed to get away. / I need, to get. Escape. /
// Aibou? Please, you're making no sense! Please, what's wrong? // Yugi could faintly hear the voice at the back of his mind, full of concern and worry, just like he would be.
/ Yami, please, don't let me. Not me, please. The Alley, men. Attacking. Me. / Yugi barely had enough strength to say it all through the mind link. He blinked back more tears as he felt the men getting closer and closer to actually taking away his innocence. Yugi thrashed out again, and succeeded in hitting one of them right in the eyes, and he jumped back, holding his face.
"Hey!" Yugi heard a familiar voice cry out, and he could barely see the group start to run away, but not before one or two of them were thrown at the wall, and knocked unconscious. Yugi blinked again, everything was getting darker, everything was spinning around him. He curled up into a little ball, clutching his head and stomach. He could hear yells and screams, but they were muffled, and he soon fell into silence. He let the tears flow down his face, and he fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.
"Yugi?" Yami cried out, and ran to the half naked figure lying on the ground. // Yugi? // Yami tried to reach him, but couldn't succeed in getting any response. He picked up the small shivering body that was Yugi, and grabbed his clothes and backpack. He ran all the way back to the shop and into their house. Yami lay him down on the couch, and inspected him, he had a few nasty cuts and bruises along his arms and legs, but he also had a big bruise on the side of his head, it was just starting to form. Yami ran and got some blankets and the first aid kit. He covered Yugi with the blanket after wiping his cuts, and putting bandages on them. He held an ice pack to Yugi's head, and spoke to Yugi's unconscious body with a reassuring tone.
Yami was appalled, and shocked that someone would try and do such evil and cruel things to innocent and kind hearted people, such as Yugi. Yugi started to stir, and his eyes opened half way.
"Yami?" He asked uncertainly, and Yami nodded, a grim look full of concern and misery etched onto his face.
"Yes, Hikari, I'm here." Yami held Yugi's hand, and squeezed it to comfort the small frightened child. Yugi cried, and threw his arms around Yami's neck.
"It - It was so horrible!" he cried out, and Yami could only stay there, with a comforting arm around Yugi. Yami was unsure of what to do with the boy. "They wouldn't stop, they - they were." Yugi choked on his words, and cried into Yami's shoulder. "It was so scary, Yami. It really was." Yugi said in a really small, terrified voice.
"It's all right, Aibou, I'm here now, and you are far away from those. Those damn evil things." Yami couldn't find a suitable word to describe them, or swear word. He pushed Yugi back onto the couch, and tucked the blanket around him. Yami held the ice pack to Yugi's head again. Yugi was grateful, his head was pounding, and he was still a little dizzy from being beaten. Yami made sure that everything his Hikari needed was given to him, even the comfort part that Yami wasn't very good at.
"Thank you, Yami." Yugi said in a slightly bigger voice than before. Yugi walked up the stairs a little shakily, but he got up the stairs, to his relief. He went into his bedroom, and got changed into his pyjamas. He didn't even take one small look at his small injuries, the pills that he took insured that he wouldn't be reminded that they were there.
He lay down in his bed, and forgot about everything as he fell into a deep, deep dreamless sleep. Yami watched over him, to make sure that everything would be alright. He needed to make sure that Yugi felt safe after what happened.
Yami sat there, staring down at Yugi's sleeping shadow, and wondered why those stupid people had decided to do such a thing to Yugi. Yugi was too sweet and innocent to have such a thing done to him. Yami seriously hoped that his Hikari would be alright after what had happened, he would be devastated if anything every changed in his Aibou. And he'd never forget himself. Yami watched Yugi's chest rise and fall slowly under his sheets, and sighed. At least Yugi would be well rested for the next day, and he wondered if he'd be well enough to go to school again. Yami didn't want to see him missing too much school. Yugi needed his education, and Yami had recently noticed Yugi liked school a little bit more than before. Yami sighed again, but more deeply. He closed his eyes and thought back to what Yugi had been like one year ago. Far too innocent for such things to be happening to him. Yami stood up, and passed his hand over Yugi's forehead before he walked out the door.
"Sweet dreams, Yugi. I love you." Yami closed the door as quietly as he could, and he left Yugi to sleep the rest of the night away, in a peaceful dreamless slumber. Poor Yugi.
