I'm Still Here

Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh or any songs...I wish I did...But I don't
Note: Finally! I decided to write this, even though I'm not in a good mood. If I waited until then, I'd never finish this. Don't worry, I won't kill Yugi...yet. *evil grin Yugi: 0.0* I'm gonna dedicate this chapter to QueenOfHearts, Kristen (my best friend), Kelley (my bodyguard) and...MYSELF!!!!! YES!! QueenOfHearts, your reviews made me feel almost happy, close enough for me to write a slightly happy chapter (by my standards)
Second Note: The first song was I'm Still Here, by John Rzeznik; the second one was You Can't Take Me, by Brian Adams; and this one is Always Know Where You Are, by Bbmak. Onto the fic!
~*~*~*~
Three months. It had been three months since Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Moto, had found his Grandson chained to the wall, with serious injuries. Yugi had had a gash across his young face, and another across his scar- marked chest. He also had been shot in the arm and was extremely thin, as John had been feeding him close to nothing. He had moved in with his grand father, as his father was dead. Solomon hadn't noticed Yami, as he was focused only on his grandson. Yugi Rzeznik was now Yugi Moto. He had had to stay in the hospital for a moth, but then he had gotten to his now home. He had been amazed to see his new room, big and bright, as it was a vast difference fro the musty attic that use to be his room
~Its good to see the sun
~And feel this place
~This place I never thought would feel like home
*~*Yugi's POV*~*
I was still nervous whenever anyone talked to me. I guess I was afraid that somehow John would come back. I know he can't Yami killed him. Yami is still blaming himself for what's happened, even though he saved my life. I always thought I would always be alone, but now I have Yami, my best friend, protector, and brother, and I also have my grandfather. They both help me in whatever way they can, which is really different from my dad, who would hurt me for no reason. I am still a bit worried that somehow John will come back, but if he dose, I know Yami will protect me.
~And I ran forever
~Far away and I
~I always thought Id end up here alone
*~*Yami's POV*~*
This is such a change from when I first met Yugi. When I first saw him he was terribly frightened of everything. Now he has courage. Not only has he changed, but I have. When I first got out of the puzzle, I was cold and didn't really give a damn about anyone else. Before he really knew me, he tried to protect me. Now I am no longer the emotionless jerk I was, I care deeply for Yugi and his grandfather. I feel the need to protect him and I am glad he has so much faith and me.
~Somehow
~The world has changed and
~I've come home
~To give you back the things they took from you
*~*Normal POV* ~*
Yugi woke up in a cold sweat. He had had a horrible nightmare. Yami, sensing his fear, instantly appeared by Yugi. He was surprised to see Yugi looking so scared and sad at the same time. Yugi saw Yami and intensely hugged him crying into his shirt.
Several minuets later, a red-eyed Yugi and a Yami with a soaked shirt broke apart. Yugi looked up at Yami "Thanks Yami. That nightmare was really bad."
"What was it?" Yami asked, concerned.
"You had disappeared and John was back. There was more but- " Yugi broke off crying again.
"Don't worry abiou, I'm here. It was just a dream. Go back to sleep." Yami chucked as Yugi tried to hide a yawn.
"Okay Yami. Please, could you stay with me tonight? I mean not in the puzzle, out here?"
"Sure."
"Thanks" Yugi mumbled as he fell asleep.
~And I feel you now
~I'm not alone I'll
~Always know where you are
~When I see myself I'll always
~Know where you are
~where you are
The next morning cam, and Yugi woke. He smiled when he saw Yami, asleep in a chair next to his bed. Yami slowly opened his eyes and saw Yugi smiling at him. "Hi Yami! How are you? I'm glad you stayed with me. You help me feel safe."
"I'm fine Yugi. I'm glad my presence helps you abiou."
"Yea, do you know why you make me feel safe?"
"No, why Yugi?"
"Because you're brave, smart, cool, and nothing worries you. You're basically everything I'm not." Yami was shocked at this answer. He had no idea Yugi's self-esteem was so low.
"Yugi, you are extremely brave. You dealt with being beaten for a long time and then you started to fight back."
"Well, I fought back because you gave me confidence. Before you I never would have been able to fight back."
"Maybe, but it was you, not I who fought him. You are much more than you give yourself credit for."
~And I found something
~That was always there
~Sometimes it's got to hurt before you feel
/Yami, I'm really nervous. What if people bully me here?/
//Yugi, relax. I'm right here with you.//
/But it's a new school!?
//Maybe it wont be as bad as your old one.//
/Maybe . . ./ Yugi stopped talking to Yami and continued to walk to school. When he was almost there, two boys pulled him into an ally.
"Hey kid, I haven't seen you before." The blond sneered. "What's your name?"
"Y-y-y-yugi. . ."
"Nice, I'm Joey and he's Tristan. Now that we know each other, could you lend us some money?"
"I don't have any money." Yugi stated truthfully.
"What a shame. We'll just have to take our anger out on you!" The brunette, Tristan, yelled, getting ready to punch Yugi.
"NO!" A clear voice rang out.
~But now I'm strong and
~I won't kneel
~Except to thank those watching over me.
Joey and Tristan stared in wonder at Yugi. Yugi was as surprised as they were at his out burst. Yugi stared at them and shouted "GO AWAY! Leave me be!" Joey and Tristan backed up.
"We'll get you back for this Yugi." Joey sneered, putting a sarcastic emphasis on Yugi's name.
"Yea, then you'll regret crossing us!" Tristan agreed. "Well-"
"Tristan, really, shut-up and come on!" Joey complained, sighing as Tristan tripped. Then he turned to Yugi. "See you soon." The two walked off laughing, but Yugi thought something like empathy in Joey's eyes.
//Abiou, I'm very proud of you! You didn't let those two bother you.//
/Yea. Thanks Yami!/
~Somehow
~I feel so strong and I've begun
~to be the one I never thought I'd be
Finally the nerve wracking first day of school was over. Yugi walked home, going through the park. He was glad when Yami appeared next to him. Yami always made Yugi feel loved and needed, just as he had when Yugi had gotten beat-up by Scoot and Mike.
~And I feel you now
~I'm not alone I'll
~Always know where you are
~When I see myself I'll always
~Know where you are
~where you are
"Um. . . Yami, do you remember what you said, ya know, when Scott and Mike called me worthless and stuff?"
"I do Yugi"
~~Flashback~~
Yugi had just been beaten up by Scott and Mike, and Yami was having no luck contacting him.
//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//
Yugi had remained silent for a while after that statement. Then he thought of something.
/Yami?/
//Yes, young on?//
/Thank-you. Um, Yami . . ./
//Yes?//
/Never mind/
//What is it?//
/What you said, about not being worthless, did you mean it?/
Yugi was afraid that Yami was going to tell him that he didn't mean it, or that he was a fool to believe him (Yami). He was therefore surprised when he heard Yami's reply.
//Yes, I did. I will protect you Yugi.//
/You will?/ Yugi was confused, as on one had ever even tried to protect him.
//Yes, like your father should have.//
~~End Flashback~~
"Then you told me that you'd protect me and never leave." Yugi finished.
"Yes, I remember." Yami said, showing Yugi his rare smile.
~Now, it's all so clear and
~I believe
~That everythings been opened up to me
~And I feel you now
~I'm not alone I'll
~Always know where you are
"Yami?"
"Yes?"
"Now that I'm not in any real danger anymore, you aren't gonna leave are you?"
"No, of course not!"
Yugi breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Nothing sort of death will separate us." Yami promised.
~When I see myself I'll
~Always know where you are
~When I see the sun I'll
~Always know where you are
~When I see myself I'll
~Always know where you are
~where you are
~*~*~
Neither Yami nor Yugi noticed a figure in the bushes, listening to their conversation. In fact, only one person saw him, and his eyes widened as he heard the hidden figure say "Yugi, soon you'll have to find out how to manage without your precious 'Yami'! And Yami, if that's what you want, I shall enjoy killing you." With this, the figure walked off.
~*~*~
Yea! I finished finally. Nooo!! This ones sort of happy!!! NOOOO! Please review! Thank-you.
