Drug Money
Disclaimer: I do not own this!
Notes: Well, lets see, I'm sick, but I can't stay home because if I want to go hunting this year and have a chance to stay two days then I have to go to every single day of school that I am can humanly go to. SO anyway I am feeling rather sick, and I feel that my reviewers are lacking, I mean I was going over my reviews the other day and I haven't been getting many reviews. I don't know if I am losing the peoples interest but if so, I apologize. Anyway, I am going to write as well as I can, but I warn you, I am so messed up on medicine so I can't promise anything.

Yugi and Yami walked to the park hand and hand. Yami noticed a playground on the side and was wondering if he should tell Yugi and ask if he wanted to play. There weren't many kinds on the playground, a small albino child and a group of what looked like older boys on the monkey bars.
"Yugi, there is a playground over there, would you like to play on it?" Yami asked, Yugi looked at him with his dull eyes. Yami had to admit he was a little nervous to allow Yugi to do so but he was very capable of hiding his worry.
"Actually, I would rather play in the sandbox, is there one of those near by?" Yugi asked warily.
"Yes, there is a little boy playing in it, maybe you can make friends," Yami said, as he lead Yugi over his cell phone rang. Cursing himself for not turning it off, he looked to Yugi to permission to answer it.
"I can make it, straight ahead right?" Yugi asked, he knew that Yami was a very important person in the business world and that he should answer it.
"Yes," Yami said as he walked off holding the phone to one ear and his finger to the other, back by popular belief, the park is very loud.
Yugi walked over to the sand box little baby steps at a time, he was being very careful. Unfortunately it wasn't careful enough; he tripped over the edge and fell face first into the sand, and hitting his knee on the edge.
The other boy in the sandbox watched him fall and ran to see if he was okay. Yugi was holding tears back because his knee hurt, he wanted to look to see if there was any blood but he couldn't see.
"Are you okay, you're bleeding," he said, Yugi withdrew himself from the boys wandering hands. "I'm sorry if I startled you, my name is Ryou," he said.
"I'm Yu-Yugi, it hurts," Yugi said, he wanted Yami, and he wanted him now, but he didn't want to be left alone when Ryou went to look for him. Ryou on the other hand was already on it.
"Bakura, big brother, Bakura!!!!!" Ryou started to yell his head off and Yugi had to cover his ears. How could such a soft spoken boy be so damn loud! All of a sudden Yugi could pick up another set of breaths.
Suddenly Yugi had fear swell up in his heart, somewhere deep down he knew that the person wasn't going to harm him but he was scared none the less.
"Yugi, don't be scared, this is my older brother Bakura," Ryou said as he placed a comforting hand on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi calmed slightly but stiffened up again as Bakura touched his knee. Yugi couldn't suppress a whimper as Bakura started to clean it with what Yugi guessed was water.
"It's water, I have a first aid kit as well, it am going to clean it, this may sting," Bakura said, explaining it as if Yugi was a three year old. Yugi braced himself but still had to cry out in pain and Bakura applied the antiseptic.
Yami, who had just finished the call with a rather stupid new employee heard Yugi's cry of pain and rushed to find him. At first he was ready to attack the older man but when he saw that he was helping he ceased his attack
"Yugi, what happened?" Yami asked as he rushed over to the small boy's side.
"I fell, and it hurts Yami," Yugi cried as he latched himself onto the older boy and cried into his shoulder. Both Ryou and Bakura were surprised at the boy's comfortableness with the older but didn't pay it much attention. They knew that Yugi didn't want any contact with either of them, but he practically held on for dear life with the new arrival.
"There, all better, does it still hurt?" Bakura asked as he pulled Yugi's pants leg back down over the wrap.
"It's okay, thank you Bakura," Yugi said meekly. Yami smiled and gave him another squeeze to reassure him.
"Want to go play with my sand toys?" Ryou asked as he held out his hand. Yugi made no move to take it, or to even look at it. "Did I do something wrong, I'm sorry," Ryou said as he withdrew his hand as if Yugi had burned it. He was sad that his new friend didn't like him and didn't want to play with him.
"Don't be sad Ryou, I can't see your hand, actually I can't see anything, I'm blind Ryou," Yugi said as his hand scanned the area looking for Ryou's hand. Ryou quickly made the adjustment and grasped Yugi's hand tightly.
"I don't care about that, let's go play if you still want to," Ryou said, he made a small look to Bakura to ask if it was okay. With a smile from him, the two new friends were off.
Yami and Bakura went over to sit on a bench near the sandbox so they could watch the boys and talk.
"So, your name is Bakura I take it, my name is Yami, tell me a bit about yourself," Yami introduced himself as he held a hand out for him to shake, Bakura did.
"Yes, my name is Bakura, Ryou is my little brother. I am about 19 years old and Ryou's turning 11 next week. Actually, we are orphans, my parents died in a plane crash on their way back from England. They were going to join me and him here in Japan. So, now I work two jobs to keep him in school," Bakura said quickly. He wasn't sure why he was telling Yami all this.
"I see, well, both my parents were killed as well, murdered actually. So I am also an orphan, and so is Yugi. In fact, as much as we look alike we aren't brothers. Yugi is the missing boy that was on the news about two or three weeks ago. I am now thinking of adopting him, his mother was recently found dead, drug overdose," Yami said.
"He is Yugi Motou, his sister was murdered right?" Bakura asked, Yami nodded, obviously he had heard of the case.
"You know, my dad was a lawyer and he wanted me to be one too, I was actually reading up on it before he died. That is illegal Yami. You can go to jail for possession of a child under 16 without parental permission!" Bakura said.
"I know, but it was unsafe for him to be at home, his mother did unthinkable things," Yami said lowering his head; he was spilling Yugi's business again.
"I hope it was really terrible, child abuse or worse, you could be hammered by a judge over this," Bakura said sternly.
"His mother, she sold him, well, his body, for money for her drug obsession," Yami said, he tried not to sound so nervous when talking about it; he had to prep himself for the trail that was bound to happen.
"Is she the reason he went blind?" Bakura asked, knowing that if she was responsible then Yami had every right to remove Yugi from his home.
"No, he went blind in an accident which I sort of think of as my fault. He fell into a ravine and hit his head knocking out his vision. I guess you could say, we are all alike in a way, orphans," Yami said, he lowered his head; he had a hard time talking about this. Yami got an idea; Bakura had helped them out so he could no return the favor. "Bakura, where do you work, I could get you a job at my place if you want," Yami said, suddenly thinking about it.
"At a flower shop and later at night at a club, I'm a bouncer," Bakura said flexing his muscles. Yami smiled and held back a laugh. Bakura's face scrunched up, "Well, where do you work Mr. high and mighty?" he asked.
"Actually I own Sennen and Corp." Yami said calmly.
"You own it, no way! I mean, I heard that guy was a total jerk and fired people like every other day!" Bakura said looking over Yami like he was a vulture.
"No, that was my father, and that was a while ago, you are very miss- informed," Yami said smiling. "Now about that job, what are your qualities?"
"You don't want me working for you; I am a lousy, high school drop-out," Bakura said lowering his head.
"Nah, I could make you some sort of high paid consultant, you know, the kind that does nothing and gets paid well," Yami said joking around.
"Yea, as long as I can still pick up Ryou and be there for him after school, don't forget I have the apartment to pay for!" Bakura said, he had so many responsibilities!
"Well, lets see, how soon can you start working," Yami said, Bakura's face lit up like a child on Christmas.
"Do you mean it, I really have a job at your place?" Bakura asked exuberantly.
"Sure, now if I remember what you said earlier, Ryou's birthday coming up, what are you planning to do?" Yami asked, he had a little plan working inside that head of his.
"Well, I am really short on money this week so it was going to be a little gift and some well cooked dinner. What do you have in mind?" Bakura asked as he leaned in to hear his plan.
Meanwhile with the two boys who were playing.
"So, Bakura takes care of you right, Yami takes good care of me too," Yugi said as Ryou handed him a new pail to fill up.
"Yea, so you can't see anything, like nothing at all?" Ryou asked.
"Yes, I fell and hit my head, I can't see anything and I may never be able to see anything again. I don't mind all that much though, there is so many cool things I can do without it," Yugi said looking on the bright side.
"Really, like what?" Ryou asked excited.
"Well, I realize that I am pretty good at virtual games, I beet Mokuba at one this morning. Actually, he let me borrow his prototype because Seto had another one for him at his house. Maybe Yami will let you come over and we can play on it," Yugi said as he makes a motion to get up.
Ryou took his arm and helped him get back to their scheming older caretakers.
"Yami, Yami!" Yugi yelled as they approached. Yami jumped a little and then realized it was just Yugi. The two older boys straightened up, not wanting the little ones to know their plan.
"Yes Yugi, what is it?" Yami asked as he lifted the small boy into his lap and Bakura following his lead.
"I was thinking, can we have Ryou and Bakura over, I want to play the virtual reality game Mokuba left, he said I could borrow it because Seto had another one he could play with at home," Yugi said, Yami smiled and nodded.
"Sure Yugi, that is, if it's okay with Ryou's big brother," Yami said. Both Yugi and Ryou pulled out the puppy dog eyes.
"Yea, sure why not, I have always wanted to visit a mansion," Bakura said off handedly.
"You live in a mansion, wow Yugi, that's so cool, though I really like our apartment," Ryou said looking up and placing a hand on his chin, as if to say, I am in deep thought.
"I guess it's pretty big, I once got lost and it was really scary," Yugi said as he shuddered at the memory.
"You won't let me get lost right Bakura?" Ryou asked as he threw his arms around his brother's neck and started to squeeze as tight as he could.
"S-sure if y-you don't kill m-me first," He said gasping for breathe. Ryou laughed sheepishly and unwound his arms.
Ryou jumped down from his brother's lap and started marching towards the exit of the park singing, "Hi-ho-hi-ho it's off the Yami's mansion we go, to play some games and not get lost, hi-ho-hi-ho-hi-ho-hi-ho!"
Yugi quickly learned the tune as well and he and Ryou were singing it the whole way home. Bakura and Yami couldn't help, by the end of the trip, to join in.
