Anyway, um, I am glad you all like my story, thirteen reviews last chapter! I like that you like my story and review, I like it too!! On to the story now:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yugi couldn't hide how nervous he was as Seto's lawyer started to interrogate him. Eijiro tried to calm him by letting him get comfortable before he started asking questions but he could tell the judge was getting a bit agitated.

"Okay Yugi, now remember that you have to answer all these questions with the truth. After clearing that up can you state for the court how old you are?" Eijiro asked.

"I am t-ten," Yugi stuttered slightly.

"I see, and can you relive your tenth birthday for the court?" Seto's lawyer asked again.

"Um, y-yea," Yugi said, he swallowed and felt the butterfly's in his stomach act up. "Okay, um, when I woke up in the morning I ate breakfast, then I went to the Zoo, and then I went home. Then Hera gave me my present and my m-mom gave me something too. Hera gave me a stuffed toy, a few action figures, and some new warmer bed sheets," Yugi said, he took a deep breath trying to calm his racing heart.

"Take your time Yugi, can you just verify who took you to the Zoo and made you breakfast before you continue?" Eijiro said trying to calm Yugi nerves; he tried to place a comforting hand on his shoulder. Yugi stiffened, took a deep breath and decided to continue.

"Hera, my older sister, she made me breakfast and took me to the Zoo. Um, my m-mom's gift was odd I thought, she bought me a leather outfit, with matching neck buckle. Then she told me to get dressed and go with Hera to her job. I had never seen Hera's work place before. I did as my m-mom said and Hera took me to a corner, I can't remember which one," Yugi said, he sounded apologetic.

"That's okay Yugi, please continue," the judge said comfortingly. Yugi nodded thankfully, he didn't really want to be yelled at.

"So, I went out with her and we just sort of stood there. Finally a white van came up and the guys driving pointed to me. I got in the back of the car like Hera told me. She had mumbled something about how sorry she was but I didn't understand what she meant until it was too late. So anyway, Keith parked and then eh came in the back. Then.then he h-he, h-he, r- rape," Yugi broke down crying and it took everything inside Yami to not run up and comfort Yugi.

"We understand Yugi, you don't have to continue any more" the judge said.

Yugi nodded and whipped his eyes with the back of his hands.

"I know this is hard for you and I want to remind you that this is very brave of you. I need to know, are you sure it was Keith that Raped you?" Eijiro asked Yugi winced at the mention of his name but nodded.

"Okay and Yugi can you explain how your mom cared for you?" Eijiro asked, knowing getting off the subject would help Yugi.

"Um, for as long as I can remember Hera has taken care of me. I remember very little of my mom taking care of me. Most of the time I saw or heard her was when Hera came home from 'work' and I saw her passed out on the couch a lot," Yugi said, glad to be off the Keith subject.

"Thank you Yugi, no further questions your honor," Eijiro said, hoping that they defendant wouldn't be too ruthless to Yugi.

"Defendant, you may now question the witness," the judge said.

The defendant rose and stood in front of Yugi glaring at him; it took a lot of Yami's will-power to no get up and hit the guy as hard as he could.

"So Yugi did your mom order to have sex with Keith?" he said bluntly.

"Um, no," Yugi said.

"And did she stand by your side and hold you down as he fucked you?" he said once again with the same harshness.

"Your honor, the language, he is only ten," Eijiro said, he knew that the defendant was not about to take it easy on Yugi.

"Honda, please hold back on your language," the judge said firmly, "I will not allow such words to be used in my court."

He nodded and then went in for the attack again, "So did she hold you down as Keith 'sexually abused' you," Honda said sarcastically.

"No, she wasn't there," Yugi said.

"I see, thank you," he said and took a seat looking rather smug.

"How I would so like to wipe that smug off his face," Yami whispered, Seto placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down, and then he pushed him forward to go and get Yugi off the stand.

Yami stumbled at first, he was pretty angry. Then he collected himself and went to go and get Yugi. Yami grasped his hand and tried to walk him back to their seat. As soon and Yugi's legs hit the ground they fell out from under him. Yami quickly caught him.

"Yugi what's wrong?" Yami asked concerned beyond imagination.

"I feel like jelly, I can't move, I am so scared," Yugi said as he buried his head into Yami's chest.

"We will take a ten minute recess," the judge said, giving Yami time to carry Yugi back to their seat and set him down. Yami had Seto check him over as he held Yugi's little hand.

The jury, and judge saw this and it melted their hearts. The judge wanted to end this right now and let the boy go home but he couldn't do that.

When the recess was over each side called a few more people before the judge let the jury leave to decide the verdict.

When the jury returned they all had huge smiles on their faces and the judge really thought that he didn't need to ask what they choose.

"We, the people of the jury, have decided that Yami Sennen is free of all charges and is allowed custody of Yugi Motou," the spoke juror said.

The judge turned back to Yugi and Yami and said, smiling, "Yugi Motou do you want to continue to live under the Sennen roof?" he asked.

"Yes please," Yugi said.

"Then Mr. Sennen you are to pick up the adoption papers later. People of the jury, what do you find of Mr. Yukinazu?" the judge asked.

"We find Mr. Yukinazu guilty of Rape in the first degree," the jury said, Yami smirked as he saw Keith's jaw drop.

"I see, Mr. Yukinazu I charge you with First degree Rape, a class B felony, and sentence you to twenty-five years," he said, hitting the stand with his mallet and dismissing everyone.

Both Yami and Yugi were crying, they were laughing, crying and hugging each other. The guards went to take Keith away but he decided to struggle.

"You little whore, this was all worth it, and I would do it again. I would fuck you little tight body over and over again just for the satisfaction of hearing you scream in agony," Keith screamed as he was dragged away by the guards.

Yugi's laughter his ceased and his eyes had tears in them, hearing Keith say something like that made him feel unsafe. He felt Yami's arm's snake around his waist giving him a comforting hug.

Yugi leaned back into it and closed his eyes, not like it would help, he could faintly still hear Keith's screams. Yami picked Yugi up and Yugi rested his head on his chest, soon the smaller boy was sleeping. Yami stopped by the office in the front of the courthouse and picked up Yugi's adoption papers and then they were off to home, their home.

Yami set Yugi down on the couch and went to grab some coffee, he had to calm his nerves and he needed some caffeine.

Yami sat on the chair next to Yugi and sipped his coffee staring at the fire as it blazed away.

"Yugi, you are home, and I swear to you, it is going to be better, I am going to take care of you," Yami whispered in the darkness.
