"Son! I said where are your parents?!"
I held Weira tightly against me. I can't loser her...I can't...
"Th-They're at home."
"Wouldja like a ride home?"
"NO! No, we're all set." The officer eyed me suspiciously.
I was so nervous, I couldn't feel my legs. Why me, huh Enma? Why?
"Where do you live, boy?"
Uh-Oh. Think fast Weevil. You gotta save your sister! "Uh...2...34...School Lane. Yeah."
"Thas' not too far from here. Could I speak to yer' parents?"
Oh hell. I don't even know where 234 School Lane is! What the hell am I supposed to do now? I guess all I can do is pray that 234 School Lane is some place where nice people who are willing to adopt me and Weira live.
"Uh...."
He glared at me suspiciously and pushed the back door open. "Get in."
This is NOT happening. Why me? I think Enma hates me. Half groaning, half sighing, I got into the car, feeling the impact of the officer speeding off.
The officer adjusted his rear-view mirror and looked at me and Weira. "Watcha' name?"
"Weevil Underwood, sir. And this is my sister, Weira."
"So wadda' yer' parents names, son?"
"Uh...Uh...........I-"
After two minutes of my uneven stumbling, the car stopped. I looked at where we had pulled over and gasped.
Scratch what I said earlier. Now I KNOW Enma hates me.
The officer got out of the car, walking into the Turtle Game Shop, where he was greeted by Yugi and his clique. This couldn't get ANY better.
Yugi looked at the officer concernedly. "What's wrong officer?"
"Do you live here?"
"Yes..."
"Couldja come with me for a second now?"
"Uh...Sure."
The officer walked over to the car and opened my door, pointing at me imparticular. I felt my eyes begin to water. I was screwed, I really messed up this time. And it was gonna cost me the only thing that gave me motivation.
"Does this here Weevil Underwood live here?"
Yugi looked at him confusedly, then glanced to me. I saw him look into the tears of my eyes and scruffed them up, cradling Weira to my body.
"Uh, yeah, he's my, uh, half brother!"
Yugi helped me outta the car and wrapped a brotherly arm around me. "Weevil, I told you to come right back after breakfast! You had me scared!"
"Alrighty then. Toodles." The officer got into his car and drove away, not even sparing a glance back to us.
Yugi looked at me and smiled. "I bet she'd be more comfortable in a bed."
I looked at Yugi in awe, and, for the first time, realized that Yugi wasn't an enemy. Just an allie who wanted to help me.

I sighed and sat on the bed where Weira lay asleep. Yugi had talked his Grandpa into letting me stay...And I'm yet to understand it.
I've always been such a jerk to him and yet, he's always been so nice to me, just like I was one of his friends. I still don't get it, but maybe I'm not supposed to get it. Maybe I won't understand it 'till I'm old and dying, and think, 'Wow, so this is what I was supposed to learn.'
I know Yugi's always there for me, but what happens when Father gets out of jail? Will he come searching for me and Weira? Will me and Weira go to school daily, instead of a few times a month? And what about Wheeler? I can't stand him!
I know I can leave Weira here with a babysitter, more casually Ryou, if I ever have to go to work or something. Or even Yugi. It seems like life is gonna be so much easier...
I sighed and layed back next to Weira, taking the ant farm and looking at it. There were atleast 3 times more ants now than there were when Mother gave it to me.
I felt her poke me, a questionable look on her face.
"Where are we?"
"We're...In Yugi Mutou's house. We're gonna be staying with him for a lil' while."
"They won't take us, will they?"
I knew who she meant in reference to THEY. She meant Foster Care. I shook my head, as if not only answering her, but shaking out the thought.
"Yugi's Grandpa let us stay."
"Weevil! Weira! Lunch time!"
I hadn't realized how late it was. Already 2:00 P.M. It was Yugi's Grandpa calling from downstairs. I wonder whta it would be like for him to feed two more? Who knows. It's gotta be rough though.
I helped Weira out of bed and took her small hand in mines as we climbed down the stairs.
We walked into the dining room and sat at the table meant for 4, which was just enough as all of us. Weira, Yugi, Mr. Mutou and I. I sat Weira down right next to me, and sat down, looking as Yugi and Yugi's Grandpa bowed their heads.
I signaled Weira to follow suit and also followed, peeking up at Yugi's Grandpa.
He smiled at me. "Weevil, would you like say Grace?"
I blushed in shame and embarassment. "I....I haven't said grace since...My Mother...Passed away."
Yugi's Grandpa nodded understandingly. "Okay then. Yugi, please start."
Yugi bowed his head and smiled. "For food and friends, and all you send, we thank you god, oh lord,
Me and Weira managed to copy everyone as they repeated 'Amen' after Yugi. I kind of tuned out as I moved the food around my plate. I thought when I said that, Mr. Mutou and Yugi would lash out and yell at me. I guess I was wrong. I'll have to learn to trust again, I suppose.

Rika: Depicting the fact we're all going nuts thinking about the fact Yugi actually did that for Weevil, ya gotta give the little guy credit, he'd even help his worst enemy out in a time of need.
I'm really glad I've made people change point of views in this, beside Third Person Omniscient going to First Person. As if the stuff I learn in Literature really matters. *Clears her throat* Anyways...
Kayrie - Don't worry, I normally detest Weevil too, but I was reading a fic, and blah blah blah, I felt bad for him and all. Everyone's always judging him, and this is just a completely original fic made up of my twisted little mind. I don's use spell check too often, most times I'm too lazy, lol. But I do double check it after to make sure, so thanks for the compliment!
By the way, I Glomp Bishounen (a friend of mines) wants to make a fic like mines, about Rex. If you want, check on that and sees if she decides to go through with it. I'll try and force her to. ^_^
I'm going to say this, yet again. I'm REALLY happy with the positive impact my fic is having. I hope to see more originals like mines in the future. Don't forget, there's a good person in everybody. Yes, even Seto Kaiba! ^_^
