Bakura was in a state of unconsciousness when Seto threw his cell phone at him.

"Dial three and push pound, its speed dial. Tell the medical staff to be ready and waiting," Seto said. He couldn't call while he was driving and they needed immediate help for Yugi when they got there.

"Ok," Bakura said as he did what Seto told him to do. Bakura gave the doctor the information and their position, telling him how soon it will be before they get there.

In the back Yami was rocking Yugi softly, trying not to injure him more. Yami felt terrible, Yugi almost looked worst then the first time he found him. He was bleeding a lot more from his lower regions.

"How could I have let this happen to you, I promised you that I would keep you safe," Yami whispered as a tear fell onto Yugi's strained face.

"He is going to be okay Yami, he is a very strong child," Bakura said as he leaned back and placed a friendly hand on Yami's shoulder.

"He is no longer a child, his innocents, how can it survive after all this happened to him, how could he smile ever again?" Yami asked, the tears were now flowing like a river would.

"He will find a way Yami; you have given him so much more than he could ever have had at his home. You have made his smile before and you will do it again," Seto said shocking both boys with his words of wisdom.

"Thank you Seto, both of you," Yami said as his hand grazed Yugi's pale sweating face.

Just then Seto pulled in his long driveway, Bakura helped Yami get Yugi out of the car without giving him more injuries. As soon as they entered the house Yugi was rushed away by Seto's doctors. Yami wanted to follow them but Seto told him that he was a mess and he needed some coffee. Eventually they got the multi-millionaire to calm down and follow them to the kitchen.

Seto got Yami to stomach some coffee and even to get him to lie down. Eventually the tired 21 year old was sleeping.

Seto and Bakura sat at the table drinking their coffee and Yami slept, talking quietly.

"How could this have happened to him, he was such a carefree child," Bakura mumbled, Seto nodded in agreement. "This won't help his case you know, it is going to make it tougher," Bakura commented a little louder.

"What do you mean?" Seto asked as he raised his head slightly to look the brown eyes boy in the eye.

"He was taken from Yami's care and raped before we could help him. He was in Yami's care, the prosecutor might say something like well it happened while he was in his care, what made his mothers care dangerous enough that he and to be removed. Another thing that will kill our case will be the fact that Yami received the money, it never reached Yugi's mother because of Yami's intervention. She never didn't actually sell her son because she never really received the money for the act" Bakura said looking up at the ceiling.

"How do you know all this?" Seto asked, Bakura had surprised him with his knowledge of the case.

"I was studying to be a lawyer before my parent's died, I was actually on child abuse when I quit it," Bakura said lowering his gaze back to being level with Seto's.

"I see, I am not sure what brings us together, and I will tell you something, I don't believe in fate. But lately, with all the things that have been happening, I just don't know where my beliefs lie," Seto said shaking his head.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out, if you don't mind, I left my little brother at Yami's and I wish to call him," Bakura said as he stoop and made his way to the phone. Seto gave him the number and Bakura made his call.

Meanwhile the doctor had just finished cleaning Yugi up and assessing his damage. When he walked into the kitchen Bakura was still on the phone so Seto took him out of the room to talk.

"Mister Seto, this boy is so young it's terrible. I'm sure you know that, anyway while we were inspecting his lower area we noticed something that will bring him quite a bit of pain when he wakes. The bleeding was stopped however. We would like you to watch out for him in the next forty-eight hours. Loss of appetite, and nausea is most likely going to occur and he will need help getting around," the doctor said, Seto dismissed him, knowing that rest was a bunch of bull shit they add to make themselves seem smart.

"I have only one question, about STD's did you check him for them?" Seto asked, a bit embarrassed talking about the subject.

"Yes, negative, we were all happy to find that," the doctor said, then he left Seto.

Bakura came out of the kitchen and gave Seto a look that told him he wanted to know what happened. Seto sat him down and told him what the doctor had told him except a bit simpler.

When Yami woke up both boys couldn't decide who was going tot ell Yami about Yugi's condition. They didn't want him to freak out and go all protective-mother on them and they didn't want to freak him out with Yugi's condition.

Yami was still a bit out there in guilt land when he woke up. He sleep, however much he seemed to need it, did nothing for him because it was a restless nothing of a rest.

Yami, when he snapped out of it slightly, demanded to see Yugi. He tried to attack a servant with a fire poker who told him that Yugi wasn't to have visitors. Luckily for the servant Seto and Bakura had made a decision by that time and saved him from being a servant-ka-bob.

"Yami, you can be with Yugi soon, but we need to prep you for what you might see when you go to visit him. He is going to be in pain, and will be very nauseous. We are really sorry Yami," Bakura said. He didn't want to tell Yami but he had lost the coin toss and was forced to do it.

"I don't care all I care about it seeing Yugi and comforting him, you don't understand, he lives in a dark world, he will need me to be there when he wakes up. He is so scared and alone, he is just a child but he has been through so much more," Yami said, he got up and excused himself from the room. Both Seto and Bakura knew he was angry and didn't mean most of what he said, he was just angry.

Yami stormed down the hallway, letting what he had just said catch up to him. He was upset, this is true, but he didn't need to take it out on his friends.

Yami reached Yugi's door and started to chicken out, he wasn't sure if he could do it anymore. He wasn't sure if he could stand near Yugi, talk to him, and just plain look at him knowing how he could have been there, how he could have helped or something.

Eventually something snapped inside him and he opened the door to the room. The first thing he noticed was the smell, it smelled like a hospital and Yami hated that. Then he saw Yugi, he looked like an angel as he laid on the while bed. His hair hung limply around his face and his small body was swallowed by the queen sized bed.

Yami swallowed the lump in his throat and walked over to Yugi's bedside. He took a seat and grasped Yugi's warm hand. Yami was holding back his tears ever since his fight with Seto and Bakura, and finally it all came down on him and he started to weep, a heart filled sob filled the room and Yami dropped his head onto Yugi's bed and cried. He cried like he had never done so before, even more then the time his parents died and he had to identify their bodies.

All of a sudden a hand was placed on Yami's head, smoothing out his hair slightly. Yami's hand went up and fell over the one soothing his hair.

"Yami, why are you crying?" came Yugi's hoarse voice; Yami's guess was that it was from screaming so much while he was being raped.

"I'm sorry Yugi, I am no better then your mother, I let this happen to you," Yami said still not lifting his head.

"I'm sorry to Yami, I was so wrapped up in the game, and it could have been prevented. And if I was stronger, then I could have fought back, this happened because I am weak," Yugi said as if it was plain and simple.

"You are not weak Yugi, you go on with life, you are so strong," Yami said, his head finally leaving the bed.

"So are you Yami, so please don't cry," Yugi said, his hand fell down Yami's face, Yami caught it.

"Thank you Yugi, thank you for everything," Yami said. Yami sat down on the bed next to Yugi. "Yugi, I really want to know something, when this is over, would you still like for me to adopt you?" Yami asked his face showing doubt that Yugi would want him anymore.

"I would love that more than anything," Yugi said, his face lit up with happiness. Yugi wanted to hug Yami but he didn't have the strength to find him. Yami, somehow knowing what he wanted lifted him up and held him gently.

"Yami, why do I hurt more than last time?" Yugi asked, he had a bit of fright in his voice.

"Yugi, it was worse this time, he tore you, so you will be sore for a while, other then that how do you feel?" Yami asked, he had noticed the slight paleness in Yugi's face.

"My stomach is doing flip flops, I think I might throw up Yami, I feel sick," Yugi said, his small hand covering his abdomen. Yami had heard that he might feel nauseous from Seto so he gently moved Yugi to the bathroom so he could empty the contents of his stomach if necessary.

It didn't take long for Yugi to spill his guts, literally. Yami sat by him, rubbing his back, helplessly as he watched.

Finally Yugi exhausted himself and Yami had to carry the sleeping boy back to bed. He tucked him and sat on a side of the bed, his hand absently running through Yugi's soft tri-colored locks.

Seto and Bakura took this chance to make their presence known.

"Yami, I am going to go and pick up my little brother, is everything okay with you. You need me to pick anything up?" Bakura asked as he carefully took baby-steps to approach the once raged boy.

"No, not unless you know for to change someone's past, then no, tell Ryou that I'm sorry that I couldn't protect him while he was in my house. I really am a failure, I don't know why Yugi still puts up with me," Yami said.

"Yami, you have given that boy a reason to live and wake up in the morning. He probably has had the best time of his life ever since you saved him. When you are around him he gets a sense of security and a constant feeling of love. He most likely was never loved by anyone until that point. I think that without you he wouldn't be able to handle everything, being blind and raped," Seto said, he was getting himself worked up.

"B-big brother, why a-are you y-yell-yelling?" Mokuba said, coming from around the corner rubbing the tiredness out of his eyes.

Seto whorled around surprised by the sudden small boy. "Mokuba, what are you doing out of bed?" Seto asked, he really didn't want his little brother to see Yugi in that state but there was no stopped the determined little boy.

"I heard you yelling and I came to the aid of the poor servant, but I see it was just Yami you were yelling at," Mokuba said, almost missing the small form of Yugi on the bed.

"Seto, what happened to Yugi?" Mokuba said trying to get through his brother to Yugi. Seto held him back, eventually picking him up and carrying him out of the room.

"Please Mokuba, let his rest, he has had a very bad day, you can see him tomorrow if he is feeling better, not off to bed for you," Seto told Mokuba sternly, they both knew that if he wasn't stern with him, he would have snuck out again.

"Okay big brother, good night, and Yugi, I hope you feel better soon!" Mokuba called out before leaving.

Seto said a few more words to Bakura, giving him directions and stuff and then both boys left Yami with Yugi, alone.
