Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh! *sniffs sadly*
Summary: Yup, we've figured out that Yugi's been raped by none other than Pegasus. The attempts to hook up Yugi with his Yami have met in failure due to this fact, but no one knows but Marik, Bakura, and Kaiba. Lucky them. Oh, and we've just heard Marik's own story as well. Thank you to Rikainiel, Wolfspeaker1, Sarah Harvey, and Naluna for reviewing me! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!! I updated!!!!! For the first time in like a month!!!!!!! *Cheers herself on* Yes, I've been getting a lot of reviews and emails telling me to update. I'm REALLY sorry! School has been taking it out of me and it's all I can do to go to bed at a reasonable hour (before four am), just with homework. So here's chapter 3, I'll try to update soon! ...Oh, and I know the paragraphs have been screwy for the first two chapters but I'll try to replace them soon too!
~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~ /Yami? Get them out of here. And never leave me alone with ANY of my so- called friends again!/ Yami's head whipped around and he watched as Yugi stumbled off into their house. He quickly followed, letting Marik and Bakura show themselves out. ~~~~~~~~~~End Flashback, Yugi's POV~~~~~~~~ Yugi flopped down onto the couch, wiping off his face and turning on the T.V. He numbly listened to a soap opera, thinking about what Marik and Bakura had told him.
They were raped too? How could they survive for so long? His mind traveled in circles. And they said the dreams will go away eventually. What about the memories?
Just thinking about it made Pegasus's face hover in his head, laughing endlessly, licking blood from his lips. Yugi suppressed the urge to gag.
"...Yugi??? Are you all right?" A concerned voice made itself known, and he realized that Yami was sitting next to him, peering into his face. "What's wrong, hikari?"
I'm a puppet! He wanted to scream. I've been used and cast away and it hurts! You hurt, the fact that you'll never care hurts, your very presence makes me feel happy and terrified at the same time, and worst of all you will never understand!
Instead Yugi forced a weak smile onto his face. "Nothing's wrong, I'm just thinking about what Marik and Bakura said..." Yugi remembered what Marik had told him. His own father had raped him for three years, back in Ancient Egypt.
"Humph. Marik and Bakura aren't always the most comforting people." Yami replied dismissively. "What did they want to tell you?"
Yugi gritted his teeth, feeling a spark of anger growing inside him. What did Yami know of anything? While Marik was being abused Yami had been living it up at the palace!
"They were very kind!" He burst out. "And they have been through more than you could imagine, so don't insult them until you've lived a month in their bodies! Sometimes you have no understanding!"
Yami looked chagrined, red eyes deepening to a wine color. "I'm sorry..." He murmured, wanting to make peace.
Yugi cursed himself. These days, it seemed like everything between them was strained, as if him being broken was also hurting Yami. Around his friends, at least Yugi could fake cheerfulness for a little while, but around his darker half it always seemed like he was bouncing from mood to mood, unable to control his emotions and memories.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to get angry. But please, don't worry about Marik and Bakura. They tried to help."
His eyes filled with tears, as he realized that Marik and Bakura had only moved on after they experienced true love. That was something he definitely would not have, ever.
He leaned into Yami, burying his head in Yami's warm shoulder and sobbing quietly. Yami's soft shirt soaked up his tears and the other teen made soft, comforting noises.
For once, there wasn't a tiny voice in the back of Yugi's head, telling him to get away, stay away, not let anyone touch him, so he just let himself go, relaxing tensed muscles and crying all the tears away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yami's POV
Yami softly held his hikari, rocking Yugi and whispering soothing noises. Yugi's hair was tickling his chin, and he reached up to brush it away. It was so soft! He wondered if Yugi's skin was that soft, too.
His aibou finally raised his head, beautiful purple eyes still swimming in tears. "Thank you, Yami." He said, voice slightly weak. "It seems all I do these days is cry!"
Yami smiled. "Don't worry about it, hikari. I will *always* be here for you!"
The hikari smiled, and it lit up his whole face, reminding Yami of the old Yugi, the one so innocent he had to be kept from the world, for his own good.
Unconsciously Yami leaned forward, closer to Yugi. His light was so lovely, so special, that he was dazzled.
He licked his lips a little nervously; it had been a long time since they had been so close and it was hard to stop himself from doing something wrong.
Like this... He thought fleetingly before giving up common sense and softly kissing Yugi on the lips, tasting his pureness. Yugi's hair tickled at his forehead, and for a moment Yami knew bliss.
But then he realized what he was doing. Yami broke away hurriedly. You baka! You can't go around kissing him! He's been raped! He'll probably think you want more than he can give!
Yugi was looking at him with a horrified expression. "W-why did you d-do that?!" He stuttered, most likely frightened out of his wits.
~~~~~~Yugi's POV
YAMI KISSED ME!!!!????!!!!????
Yugi's mind was in turmoil. Half of it shrieked for him to run, run far away and never come back, never see Yami again, because Yami wanted to hurt him too, USE HIM JUST LIKE PEGASUS DID
The other half wanted Yugi to lean in and beg Yami for more, more kisses, more love, more affection, more touch, just what he'd always wanted, right?
"W-why did you d-do that?!" He asked frantically, settling for something in the middle.
Yami looked chagrined, and about as panicked as Yugi felt.
"I-I'm sorry! I've felt this way for a long time, and I didn't mean to, but-" Yugi cut him off.
"You've felt WHAT way? Lust? Why didn't you just say so? I can relieve you of that!" Yugi's voice had heightened to a shriek. "Or is this...love?" He asked sarcastically, ignoring the voice in his mind telling him that yes, yes it was love and that he returned it. "If you love me why did you date Seto? Why did you practically ignore me all the time?"
All the words bursting out of his mouth left Yami speechless, and he just sat there with his beautiful lovely wonderful mouth open. "That's it!" Yugi finally yelled. "I have to get out of here!"
He stalked off, out the front door and into Domino City.
Walking along the darkened streets, he noticed a figure standing in the shadows. "Hey, pretty, where ya going so fast?" A man stepped out, large and drunk.
Yugi swallowed his fear and tried to run, but the man stepped over to him and smirked.
"Don't worry. Once I'm done with you my friends would enjoy a turn!"
The man pinned him against the wall, and even though he struggled Yugi couldn't get loose.
"Get off of me!" He yelled, trying to project his voice, but no one came to help him.
This will be just like last time! He thought frantically, heart beating like a caged bird. Just like last time, there was no one to protect him! Yami never came when he needed him!
The man was trying to unzip his pants and Yugi was lost in the barrage of memories, the pictures of blood and pain flashing past his eyes. And it was about to happen again!
