Innocence Broken

Chapter VIII: I'm With You

×××

Sorry I haven't written in so long, been busy with school and such. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! [And I hope if you toilet papered houses you didn't get caught.] My birthday is on November 5th, so wish me luck at getting Final Fantasy XI!

Yugi trembled, staring at the phone. He hoped this was a dream. He hoped he would just wake up and be normal again. Not even know what it was like to feel so sorrowful. The young blonde picked up the phone and hung it up.

The person on the other end had said all he needed to say. What was there to say? Someone had died. Yami picked Yugi up and hugged him, again. Yugi's sobs grew louder, he thought he had cried more in this week then he had ever in his lifetime.

"W-why did this have to happen to me? I'm a good person, Yami. I never did anything bad, and… and I get punished!" The pharaoh hugged his hikari tighter, and led him up the stairs. "It's okay… It's going to be okay."

Yugi pushed Yami away abruptly. "You don't know what it feels like!" He sniffed, whipping away his tears. It was embarrassing. He was a crybaby.

Yami just approached Yugi once more. He held his light's arms and took him to his bedroom. He hugged him again, and kissed him. The kiss wasn't harsh, but soft and filled with love. Yugi had someone to love, and they loved him back.

But the young duelist was overwhelmed with death and sorrow he had to do something to get away from him all. And this kiss wasn't helping one bit. He needed something… more.

Yugi kissed back now, with passion. He wanted to lose himself, he wanted Yami to be his drug and help him get away from this hell. Yami was taken back, but kissed Yugi and kept his grip on his lover's arm. Lover…

Yugi reached for his boyfriend's belt. He really just wanted to get away from here. Go far away, somewhere. When Yami realized what was happening, he tightened his grip on Yugi's arm. The teenager winced when Yami grasped his hand.

"No, Yugi." Denial. It hurt again. "You're not ready." Anger. Hate. Ready?! Yugi wasn't a kid anymore! He knew what he was and wasn't ready for!

"Yes I am! I'm not a kid anymore, I won't break!" Yami sat Yugi on the bed and looked at him. Yugi… "You're broken."

Those words went through Yugi's mind.

"You're broken."

"You're so clouded by the sorrow and madness around you, your mind is broken. You can't think, you just want to escape it. But you're not ready."

"Yami, I'd rather be in hell than this. I lose Mother and Farther, and now Grandpa! It's not fair!" Yami just hugged Yugi again, speechless once more. "I'm with you."

That's all Yugi needed to know.

Sorry if it was a bit cheesy and overdone, but at least it's another chapter! ^_^

Yami: Better then nothing, I guess.

Yugi: So, does it end here?

I don't know, depends on what the reviewers say.
