Drug Money

Disclaimer: I do not own this

Notes: Sorry the last chapter was short and I know it was mean to kill Yugi's sister but it was necessary. I have been really busy and my friend just got back from Montana and I want to get together with her soon so I might not write for a while, that is unless you gave me many nice reviews!!!

The ride home was quiet, mostly because Yugi was asleep and he had broken the radio. Yami's mind had so many questions running threw his mind, why did that news report make Yugi so upset.

Yami carried the still sleeping Yugi up to his room and laid him down on the bed. Yami left for a short time to get a warm basin of water, bandages, and pain medicine. Yami dipped a cloth into the water and started to clean Yugi's bloody hands. Yugi took in a sharp breath as his hands came in contact with the water, but he did not wake.

Yami took great care of bandaging Yugi's hands and then gave Yugi a pain killer. He sat and made sure Yugi was comfortable for about a half an hour, after that he went and made himself a cup of coffee, it was going to be a long day.

Yami sat down in the living room and flipped on the TV, he quickly moved the channels to the news so he could learn more about the young woman that was killed.

"Welcome back, now with the terrible story of the raping and murdering of fifteen year old Hera Motou. We have just got in contact with Hera's mother who seemed very upset," the screen moved to a small house with a woman who had bags under her eyes and her eyes were puffy.

"My daughter had been acting weird, ever since the disappearance of her younger brother Yugi, she went out for a walk and she never returned," the woman broke down crying.

"Apparently the young woman's mother, Kim Motou, is unable to speak at the time. Another thing now brought to our attention is the disappearance of Hera's Younger Brother Yugi Motou, around the age of ten with tri-colored spiky hair. Authorities have been unable to locate this boy as well." Yami clicked off the TV at this point.

'Yugi, the Yugi that is sleeping in my room, he is a missing child with a now dead family member' the thought of this just sent Yami reeling.

Yami got up, forgetting all about his cold cup of coffee, and went to Yugi's room. He entered it and heard the sounds of Yugi's crying.

"Yugi," Yami said softly, he didn't even know that eh too had tears in his eyes.

"Yami," Yugi said, equally as quiet.

"Yugi, I know, God I know about more then I guess I should. Yugi, why didn't you tell me you had a loving family that missed you?" Yami asked, he tried to hold the tears back but the pain he felt for Yugi was unimaginable.

"NO, God, please don't make me go back there, she made me, no," Yugi said, his eyes wide in fear, if he went back she would make him go out again to get money.

Yami sat down on the bed and grabbed Yugi's shaking hand, "Please tell me, Yugi what is wrong, why do you not want to go home, your mother seemed very upset," Yami asked.

"Yami, I just don't know if I can tell you," Yugi said, Yami could feel his hand trembling.

"Yugi trust me, I will do everything in my power to help you, no matter the cost, please, all this can't be good for your health," Yami said, he was worried, Yugi looked pale and sickly most of the time recently.

"Yami, my mom, my mom likes drugs. She doesn't have a lot of money so me and my sister, we made the money," Yugi took a deep breath and Yami wiped some of the sweat off Yugi's forehead. "Me and my sister, we had to make the money, well me sister did and I had just started. My mom, Kim, she made us go out and be with people for money. I didn't want to but Hera told me to get in the car, I never saw her again," Yugi said letting go and crying into Yami's chest.

Anger rose in Yami's chest, 'she, that woman, she prostituted her own children!'

"Yugi, you did nothing wrong, believe me. I have an idea, tomorrow, if you are feeling better; we can leave this place, for only a little while but we can leave. I own an island, off the coast, it's a nice place to relax, and why don't we go there?" Yami asked, Yugi looked up as if to ask him if he meant it, Yami smiled and nodded. Yugi smiled and jumped into Yami, pushing him down on the bed and keeping him in a strong bear hug.

"Now, get some sleep, by the way, how are your hands?" Yami asked.

"Okay, I'm so sorry about your car radio, I didn't know what I was doing," Yugi said looking at Yami, his expression full of guilt.

"Listen no problem, I have plenty others, good night," Yami said going to leave the room, Yugi had the fear return to his eyes as soon as Yami left threw the door. He was alone now, what if she came after him, 'no she doesn't know where you are Yugi,' his mind told him.

As much as Yugi tried to calm himself down and go to sleep he just couldn't. Yami went to check up on his and was surprised to find him still awake.

"Yugi is something wrong?" Yami asked, making Yugi jump.

"I'm w-well, I'm s-scared, I k-k-keep think s-she is c-coming a-after me," Yugi said pulling his knees up to his chest.

"Yugi, I swear to you, no one is going to get you while you are in my care, you are safe," Yami said ruffling up his hair a bit.

"Will you please stay here, w-with me a little l-longer," Yugi said laying down, Yami stayed in his seated position. Yugi nodded and closed his eyes; with Yami there he felt safe and was soon asleep. Yami thought it would be a good idea if he just stayed with Yugi in case he woke up so he pulled up a comfy chair and fell asleep.

When Yami woke again it was late, the room was pitch black and he couldn't see a thing. He didn't mind, he happened to like the dark anyway. His thoughts were on Yugi anyway, he was worried; the mother used her children to get money for her drugs, now that her older daughter is gone how would she get the money, she will be desperate to get Yugi back.

Yami looked over to Yugi's innocent sleeping form; all of a sudden Yugi twitched and started to mumble stuff.

"No, stop please, I don't want this, Hera," Yugi cried out, he started to thrash slightly. Yami jumped up and grabbed his arms, Yugi calmed down instantly.

"I will always protect you Yugi," Yami said.
