~*~*~*
Yugi walked home slowly through the rain, water dripping down his gold bangs and onto his torn uniform. He had been beaten up again and was going home to his abusive father, who would beat him horribly for being late.
~I am a question to the world
~Not an answer to be heard
~Or a moment that's held in your arms
"Bitch" *slap* "Fuck you dumb ass bastard!" *slam* John Rzeznik, Yugi's father, shouted as he slammed him into the wall of his room, if you could call the musty attic a room. After that his father left, storming out of the house to get drunk. His words echoed in Yugi's mind, 'I wanted a strong son, not some fucking weakling!'
~And what do you think you'd ever say
~I won't listen anyways
~You don't know me
~And I'll never be what you want me to be
Bleeding and bruised, Yugi did the one thing that brought him joy in his pathetic life. He worked on a strange, golden puzzle his grandfather gave him several years ago, before he had left for Egypt. He glanced and saw that he only had 3 more pieces to place before he finished his puzzle. *click* 'I wish I had a friend.' *click* 'One more piece left.' *click* Suddenly, the puzzle began to glow and a boy who looked a lot like Yugi stepped out. "Who are you?" he demanded, "Answer me or else!"
Yugi whimpered, than stammered out his answer. "Y-y-yugi"
"I see." The boy raised his hand and noted that Yugi flinched and whimpered, though he didn't do anything. "What? Why are you scared?" The boy spoke the last part softly, but that didn't stop Yugi from crying. "You get beat by others, don't you?" All Yugi could manage was a nod, crying harder.
~And what do you think you'd understand
~I'm a boy-no, I'm a man
~You can't take me, and throw me away
"I'm Yami," The boy said, but Yugi barely heard him, focusing mainly at the sound of a slamming door and curses.
"P-p-please. Y-you m-m-must hide." Yugi stuttered.
"What! -No!" Yami paused. Looking at the boys face, "Okay, but just for now" He muttered something and disappeared.
"There you are bitch!" John yelled, as he threw open the door and Yugi whimpered and Braced himself.
~And how can you learn what's never shown
~Yeah you stand here on your own
~They don't know me
~ Cause I'm not here
"Oh Ra, no" Yami gasped at the sight of the bleeding, shivering, crying figure of Yugi.
"Y-y-yami?"
"Its me, Young one."
"A-a-are y-you o-o-okay?"
"I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about"
" I-I-I j-j-just w-w-wish I-I-I was better. N-not so w-w-weak"
~And I want a moment to be real
~Wanna touch things I don't feel
~Wanna hold on and feel I belong
~And how can the world want me to change
~They're the ones that stay the same
~They don't know me
~Caused I'm not here
Yugi woke with a start. 'What happened? I had a dream that a boy named Yami came and helped me.'
"Are you awake young one?" A voice asked, from the far side of Yugi's 'room'
"Y-yami?"
" Yes?" Yami asked, coming and kneeling by Yugi.
" Thanks" Yugi said, hugging Yami as he started to cry.
" I didn't do anything." Yami said backing up
"P-p-please, don't go" Yugi managed to whisper
"I won't leave you, ever. I promise" Yami replied to the beaten up boy.
~And you see the things they never see
~All you wanted. I could be
~Now you know me and I'm not afraid
"This will sting, okay? But try not to scream." Yami said, as he cleaned Yugi's many wounds.
"O-o-okay" Yugi stammered. 'Why is he helping me? Can I talk to him or will that make him mad at me?'
~And I wanna tell you who I am
~Can you help me be a man
~They can't break me
~As long as I know who I am
//Yugi, where are we going?//
/School Yami. It is really nice to talk to someone for once/
//Don't you have any friends?//
/./
//Yugi?//
/Oh, sorry Yami, its just that I've never had friends./
//Oh..// 'How could anyone hurt this boy?' Yami thought, making sure Yugi couldn't hear him. 'I must protect him, but how?'
~And I want a moment to be real
~Wanna touch things I don't feel
~Wanna hold on and feel I belong
~And how can the world want me to change
~They're the ones that stay the same
~They can't see me
~But I'm still here
Yami was awoken from deep thought by the sound of someone crying in pain. It took him a second to recognize the voice. "YUGI" he called.
~*~*~
Scott and Mike, two bullies from Yugi's school had cornered their favorite punching bag easily, as he was alone as usual.
"You're just good for being a punching bag, you worthless piece of trash." Scott said, kicking him and glaring at him with hard brown eyes.
"Yea, you're gonna be our punching bag for the rest of your life." Mike commented, then waited for Yugi's response.
The only one Mike got was a miserable whimper and to see Yugi curling up in a even tighter ball.
They kicked and insulted him a few more times then left, leaving Yugi to cry over their hateful words.
//No, they're wrong!//
/./
//Yugi, are you okay?//
/./
//YUGI! Answer me!//
/Yami?/
//I'm here//
/Thank-you Yami. I'm sorry/
//For what?//
/For being weak and worthless. Why do you even bother with me?/
//Yugi, listen to me. You are not worthless! You are worth more than they are! You are worth so much Yugi! Don't you see? You need to ignore those fools//
~They can't tell me who to be
~'Cause I'm not what they see
~Yeah, the world is still sleepin'
~While I keep on dreamin' for me
~And their words are just whispers and lies
~That I'll never believe
/Yami?/
//Yes, young one?//
/Thank-you. Um, Yami.../
//Yes?//
/Never mind/
//What is it?//
/What you said, about not being worthless, did you mean it?/
//Yes, I did. I will protect you Yugi.//
/You will?/
//Yes, like your father should have//
/Yami,/
//Yea?//
/I'm glad I solved the puzzle and found you. Never leave me, Yami./
//I'll never leave. I told you that before.//
/Promise? Never-ever?/
//Yes, I promise.//
/Thanks Yami./ 'Finally,' Yugi thought, 'I feel like a person, not a thing.'
~And I want a moment to be real
~Wanna touch things I don't feel
~Wanna hold on and feel I belong
~And how can the world want me to change
~They're the ones that stay the same
~I'm the one now
~'Cause I'm still here
~I'm the one
~'Cause I'm still here
~I'm still here
~I'm still here
~I'm still here

Well, how was it? This is my first song fic. Hope it's not to bad!! (no flames please)
I don't know if it should be a one-shot or not.
What do you think?
Also, this doesn't have to do with Darkness' Folly, my other fic.
Please R+R!
