Yugi was deep in thought; Boss and the rest of the team weren't bothered
with what he'd done earlier that day. But if the old gang were to find out
. . . He sighed, looking out the window from his perch on the edge of his
and Boss' bed then back to the peaceful face of the sleeping man beside him
and couldn't help but feel guilty. He truly did love the man, but . . .
old feelings were resurfacing.
'I need to go for a walk.' Yugi stood and grabbed his jacket on the way out the hotel. The stars shone brightly in the night sky, illuminating the street with they're pure light. Feeling around in his pockets Yugi pulled a pack of cigarettes out, fallowed by a lighter. Smoke swirled around the young mans head as he stopped at the entrance to the well-known park he'd been in just yesterday.
The moon lit pebble pathway looked almost magical with the flowers lining it. The only sound heard were the crickets and Yugi's light footsteps as he made way down the trail. Taking another puff from the cigarette Yugi continued to walk, noticing as of for the first time the true beauty of the night and the calm peacefulness of being alone in it.
All that was shattered as a hand reached out and grabbed Yugi by the upper arm, reminding him of what had happened in the alley. A look of pure terror crossed over his face at the thought of a repeat of what the ratty man had done to him. "Well, well. What do we have here?" Yugi's brow furrowed, that voice. It was so familiar, but where from . . .?
"Looks like we caught the little killer by himself!" That's it!
"What do you want, Derk?"
The light haired mans lips curled back in a smirk. "Oh, Yugi, Yugi, Yugi. You know very well what I want." Derk circled the former, grazing Yugi's petite form with lust burning in his eyes. "And what I want, I get." Stating that the blond grabbed the small one by his shoulders, slamming him into a tree, forcing him into a bruising kiss.
Yugi's look was one of pure disgust as he turned a way from the other, receiving a sharp slap to the right cheek, fallowed by a punch to the ribs; this was going to hurt in the morning.
Yugi's eyes widened as his shirt was ripped from him and thrown to the ground then cried out as cool metal sliced the skin of his exposed chest. Derk smiled wickedly as he lapped up the warm blood pooling on the pale skin he so desired for.
Kicking Derk in the crotch, making him hold himself, Yugi took the time to flea, ignoring the burning, throbbing pain from where the small knife had slit him. Only getting a few yards Yugi was tackled to the ground. The rough branches and what not below him scrapping into his chest, making previous wounds worse.
"Do you really think you can get away?" Laughter was heard. "I don't think so. But you'll pay for that, runt!!" Yugi gritted his teeth in order to hold in a scream. The small knife ripped away at his skin, the pain was getting to be unbearable.
Yugi could no longer feel anything but pain, so great it was numbing. Just before losing consciousness Yugi caught a glimpse of a pair of black boots, and someone yelling his name.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yugi slowly opened his eyes, shutting them quickly after. The pain in his head was terrible, but he would live.
"Hey, he's waking up!" Yugi clamped his eyes down harder, his headache had just tripled. Trying again, and succeeding, Yugi opened his amethyst eyes, coming to the sight of a white ceiling and walls.
"Shut up Joey!" A harsh whisper was heard.
Yugi was suddenly fully awake. He shoot forwards only to grunt in pain and fall back down. His back was killing him!!!
"Geez, take it easy there. You just had your back stitched back up!" Yugi heard the voice of his lover, Boss. Had his back stitched up . . .?
Yugi's eyes widened, had Derk . . . no, the voice, who was it?
"Who?" His throat was rough and cracked, needing something to lubricate it.
"I did." Yugi looked over at his yami, thankful yet ashamed anyone had had to save him. "And I sent his damn soul strait to the shadow realm."
Boss took the bedridden mans hand in his, "Was it Derk?" Nod. "Thought so. Well at least he didn't get to do what he'd wanted . . ." Boss trailed off looking into his young lovers eyes. "You'll have to stay here for a few more weeks. Your back was slashed to pieces and the doctors had to sew it all back together again."
He'd been thru worse, he could stand the pain, but having to lay around all day wasn't exactly what Yugi wanted to do. "I gotta use the bathroom." Grumbling Yugi grabbed the IV and ripped it from his vein, everyone but Boss that was in the room gasped as Yugi rolled himself out of bed and stood on unstable legs.
"Yuge, man. You need help . . .?" Stupid question.
"No, I don't need help to use the bathroom!" Yugi stumbled a bit, regaining his steadiness he continued to the bathroom across from the bed. When the door was slammed shut everyone marveled at the strength in their old friend.
"That was . . . interesting . . ." Tristan sat back in the chair he was occupying.
"Yeah, but he's been through worse." Boss realized his mistake when the others gave him questioning glances.
"What are you guys talking about?" Yugi's words slowed as he yawned.
"You should get some sleep, angel." Boss gently lead Yugi to his bed and laid him down. The second the small angel's head hit the pillow he was asleep.
"So, you never did tell us what you and Yugi have been doing for these last years." Tristan started.
"I'm sure Yugi will tell you when the time is right." Clearly stated, Boss left the hospital room to go back to the hotel. He'd have to tell the others how the fifth member of their team was doing.
