Drug Money
Disclaimer: I do not own this, and I most likely never will.
Notes: Obviously everyone wants Yugi's life to go right. But you know as well as I know that nothing ever goes totally right so there will be little bumps along the way. Anyways let's not make everyone wait.

Seto was taken back by Yami's calmness as he spoke of the accident as they carried the food back upstairs.
"Yami I just can't shake the feeling that I have seen Yugi somewhere before, are you sure that I have never met him?" Seto asked for what had to be the tenth time since they left the kitchen.
"I am sure now please don't bring up the accident or anything in front of Yugi, I am not sure his position on it," Yami said as they opened the door, Yugi's head was turned towards the window as if he was looking at something.
"Okay Yami," Seto said, they entered the room and Yugi's head turned in their direction quickly.
"Were back and we come baring food!" Seto said in a joking voice.
Yugi giggled and Yami set his plate down in front of him, he then went over Yugi's plate with him, putting his utensils on the spot where the food was and telling him what it was.
Then dinner started, Seto watched and Yugi fumbled with his food and he and Yami talked about little things. The day, his work place, how work was going. Seto felt a little out of place until Yugi decided to talk to him.
"So Seto, you told me you had a brother, what is he like," Yugi asked absently as he started to move food around his plate. Yami knew this meant that he was no longer hungry, for the amount of time he knew him Yugi's eating habits have hardly improved.
"Um, he is seven. He had long black hair that is a jungle to try and tame. I mean he is like a crazy child, he is way to smart for his own good I think, but I mean hey, he is my brother," Seto said starting to feel more at ease in the room.
When Seto and Yami were both done they went to take the dishes back. Seto took notice to that fact that Yugi hardly touched his food.
"Sleep tight Yugi," Yami said, he kissed Yugi's forehead and pulled the blanket up to his chin.
Seto and Yami had another talk as they walked to take the dishes back.
"So, Yugi doesn't eat much huh?" he asked offhanded.
"Yea," Yami said not really wanted to dwell on the subject.
All of a sudden it hit Seto like a ton of bricks, "Holy shit Yami, I remember where I know him from, his picture was on the news, he the missing brother of that girl that was beaten and raped to death," Seto said a bit louder then he needed to.
"I know, it's not something I am broadcasting, his life there has been less then something worth remembering," Yami said.
"Well Yami, you know that this can be considered as kidnapping, I mean he has a home to go to yet he is here with you," Seto said, he didn't want his friend to get in trouble.
"I can never send him back, you don't know what went on there," Yami said, he didn't want to tell Seto something about Yugi which wasn't his to rightfully tell.
"Yami, I do know that they are still on the lookout for him and now that he is with you he might be spotted, that might be bad for you and your company. It's just that, if there is a reason like child abuse, then you should tell the police, it will make it legal, and it will insure the safety of other children she might adopt," Seto said, Yami nodded, what he said did make sense, she had no source of income and he didn't want anyone to go through what Yugi did.
"So do you want to talk about it, maybe I can help, I mean I have like one of the best lawyers in the world, I'm sure we can return him to your position, I just need to know what's happening," Seto said, he really wanted to help Yami, when he was getting out of the orphanage it was Yami who stood up for him and said he was responsible enough to care for his brother.
"I don't know, I guess we need to talk, you know that I've got a hell of a lot of secrets now," Yami said as they put the dishes away.
They walked into the living room and Yami and Seto both took their seats. Yami took a deep breathe and Seto sat patiently.
"Okay, so the first time I met Yugi it was under less that welcoming circumstances. I was driving home from work one night after a rather big and tiring meeting when I decided to take a detour. It was then I noticed a white un-marked van on the side of the street throw something out of the car. Now I wasn't going to even heed it any mind but the thing they threw whimpered in pain, I was compelled to stop.
When I got to it I could see a little child, no older then eight it seemed. He was bleeding from some spots but nothing serious until I looked lower. God Seto, I have never seen such a sight, so much blood. He was raped, it was as plane as day, his pain filled look was devastating," Yami had to pause, his eyes were filled with tears and his body was shaking slightly. Seto draped an arm over Yami's shoulders as if to say that he was there for him. Seto was in a slight bit of shock though; Yugi had been raped and yet still maintained the perfect image of innocent.
"He is so young, who could do this to him?" Seto whispered, Yami shook his head; he had thought about it too but in the world they lived in there were many perverts who would rape a ten year old boy.
"It was his birthday present that his mother gave to him, his innocent being ripped away. He had a sister, Hera I believe the name was, she told him to get in the car; she knew it was going to happen because she had been doing it herself for some time now. When he told me this it was hard to suppress my anger for the woman, there us no way that he will go back there unless I was killed somehow. I learned most of this from him but some of it I learned from his nightmares. He has had terrible nightmares, reliving the pin and the agony he went though," Yami sobbed quietly, he had all this bottled up inside of him and he was finally letting it out. Seto helped his friend let his emotion out; he knew that Yami had needed this badly.
"Listen Yami, I am going to sleep here tonight if you don't mind. Mokuba is sleeping over a friend's house anyway. Tomorrow I will contact my lawyer and we can discuss things about Yugi. Now I think it would be best if you decided to go to sleep," Seto said as he led Yami up the stairs, Yami stopped him at Yugi's room. He just wanted to be there if he woke up from a nightmare, he just wanted to be close to Yugi.
"Yami, I think you would get a better night sleep in your own bed don't you?" Seto asked as Yami looked at Yugi's sleeping form.
"I just want to be there for him, don't forget, when he wakes up he is in the dark, he might get frightened," Yami said matter of fact tone.
"Okay, at least he's got a spacious room with two couches, no?" he asked on a lighter note. Yami nodded and smiled at Seto's uplifting spirit. He then left to grab pillows and some blankets for him and Seto to use that night.
In the morning Yugi was the first to wake, as he sat up he could feel a dull ache in his chest, he guessed his ribs hurt a little bit.
Yugi was surprised to hear two extra sets of breathes in his room. Fear rose in his chest, he might have been taken by his mother and he isn't even able to run away because he doesn't know where he is.
Yugi let out a whimper as he made his way carefully out of his bed and felt his way around the room. He didn't have a couch in his room did he? He felt around more and he felt hair, God was Keith back to hurt him again. Yugi tried to run; he had no idea where he was going though. He ended up running into a desk. He fell and clutched his ribs and shin in pure agony. He whimpered and held back tears; he didn't want to wake Keith.
Yami had been woken by the noise however and Seto had started shifting after Yugi touched his hair. Yami got up and rubbed his eyes, he was extremely startled to find Yugi on the floor instead of in his bed.
He went over to help him back into bed but Yugi pulled back and screamed bloody murder.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME KEITH, LEAVE ME ALONE, NO GO AWAY!" Yugi cried, he didn't ever want to feel that pain again.
Yami was taken back by his outburst and Seto was downright startled.
"Yugi, it's be Yami, calm down, I'm right in front of you, you are at my house, Seto's here, you are safe and away from all of them," Yami said trying to calm the freaking out child.
Seto got off the floor he had fell on and made his way over to Yugi and Yami.
"Yami, is it r-r-really y-you?" Yugi asked, he was still scared and he needed to be with Yami right now.
"Yes, just hold out your hands, I'll be right there," Yami coaxed, he didn't want to frighten Yugi further.
Yugi's hands went out shakily. He was scared but needed Yami right now. Soon Yugi's hands met Yami's and Yugi threw himself into Yami's chest gripping on to it as if he would die if he let go.
Seto watched the sentimental scene and stayed quiet, he didn't want to frighten Yugi anymore that the small boy already was.
Yami rocked the boy back and forth hoping it would sooth Yugi.but one thought pressed on his mind, Keith, it was Keith that raped Yugi.
