Entry Eleven
Something smelled good, really good, and I cracked open an eye to find myself alone in bed, the door open slightly spilling light into the dark room.
"Yami?" I asked as I rolled out of bed and poked my head from the door.
A smile tugged at my lips as I saw him at the stove, turning something over, then placing rice in it, turning it over, and then placing it on a plate with octopus dogs already made.
I laughed.
"What is the cheif making this fine morning?" I asked, and he looked up with a grin.
"Omelette stuffed with rice, octopus dogs and orange juice to finish the effect. Does it please my love?" he asked, grinning.
"Sounds pleasant. Is Reioko still sleeping?"
A dark look passed over Yami's face, but only a moment, before he was grinning again.
"He left, don't worry, I made sure."
Something about his tone made him sound like an oni that was telling his companions that he took care of the herd of goats that wandered their way.
"Oh, what time is it?"
"7:30. We still have a about an hour and a half."
"Good," I said, and took the plate from the counter, and took a bite of the omelette.
God it tasted good.
Yami sat before me, a plate of scrambled eggs with toast and coffee.
"Working today?" I asked.
"Yes, sorry..."
"No, it's alright. But Yami, I have to know...is it okay if I go somewhere with Nefer?"
Yami's mouth was pressed into a thin line.
"It's not my descsion Yugi, it's yours. If you want to go, you can go," he said, though it seemed he was forcing himself to say it.
"...Um...you working on the weekends?"
"No."
"Good...because you and I have a date on Saturday ending on Sunday," I said with a smile.
Yami smiled back, nodding.
"I'll be there, and I won't be late."
"I don't see how you can since we live under the same roof."
"True...true...hey...Yugi."
"Hm?" I answered, mouth full of eggs and rice.
"When we are legally bound, where would you like to live?"
"Japan. Actually, I was thinking of living at the Game Shop. Home and job at the same place!" I answered, but then saw the look in Yami's eyes. "But we don't have to! I mean, if you want to live here in Cairo that's fine with me."
"No, no. I don't think Cairo is the best place for us. Tokyo is where our friends are."
"But you want to stay here, don't you?"
"I missed this place, and now that I'm here I feel like I want to stay here forever. But I rather sacrifice it for you, Yugi."
I sighed, and shook my head.
"No Yami, that's not right. You should have your own wants in this. This is also for you and not only for me. I'm willing to follow you where ever you want to go, even if it is far away from where I grew up."
Yami sighed, looking into his mug.
"I really don't deserve you, Yugi. I truly don't."
We were silent till I felt like I needed to break it.
"Remember when we first met?" I asked, and Yami blushed.
"Yes."
"I bumped into you on the bus."
"That did hurt."
"Sorry."
"Yes, I'll never forget that day. I fell in love with you when you first touched me."
My eyes went wide.
"What!? Are you serious?" I asked.
"Sure. Why else do you think I was watching you change, smiled at you, touched you, and kissed you, though that was an embarrassing and painful rejection."
I sighed sadly.
"I'm sorry. You scared me. But the truth is...I fell in love with you too. I may not have realized it, but my heart did, though I didn't want to believe the signs it was giving me. All my life I crushed on girls and suddenly I was crushing on a guy? It was really an akward change for me, and I felt...like I didn't know what to do. I was scared, very scared."
Yami rose up from his chair, and wrapped his arms around me tightly.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore, koi," he whispered.
"No, I don't. Because I'm happier then what I would have been if you were a girl."
"Glad to hear that."
"So...were you gay all your life, or were you like me?"
"All life, swear it," Yami said.
"Are you the only one in your family? I know I am."
"No, not exactly. My grandfather who was a Pharaoh long in the past was also gay. He fell in love with his cousin, but of course kept it a secret. He had ten wives and one husband. Of course he loved the people he married, but he loved his husband more then all of his wives put together. Unfortunately he died and the Pharaoh was devestated."
"Wow, that's sad."
"Yes, but my Pharaoh grandfather made a tomb especially for him, though nobodies found it yet except us who has been told the family secret."
"And you're going to tell me, right?" I asked, eyes getting big.
"Nope."
"What!"
He winked and tapped me on the nose.
"Because you and I aren't married yet."
A laugh escaped my lips and I hugged Yami tightly.
"Can't wait."
But then something occured to me, and my smile dropped.
"Aibou?" Yami asked, as I sat back down. "What's the matter?"
"I just realized something Yami. It's something that I've always wanted, but can never have."
Yami kneeled before me, his fingers lifting my chin up.
"And what might that be?" he asked gently.
"Children."
"Aibou," Yami whispered, and hugged me tightly, kissing me on top of the head. "Let's worry about this when the time comes. It's a bit early to think about the problem of being childless."
"I know, and I'm sorry. It just occured to me."
"It's alright. I have to admit it's occurred to me several times before. But let's not think about that now. Let's start to think about how we'll survive through college!"
"That's a good idea. And I'm actually glad your God father is our teacher."
"Me too, but don't think he'll go easy on us. In fact, he may be harder since he knows us."
"I don't mind, because I can always count on you."
"Uh...yeah!" he said, though he did seem a little nervous.
Before I could ask, the phone rang, and Yami snatched it up before I could even lift myself out of my chair.
"Hello? Nefer? Okay," he said and covered the mouth piece. "It's for you."
I took the phone.
"Hello? Hi Nefer!"
"Hi Yugi. Sorry, is this a bad time? Your room mate didn't sound to happy."
"No, no, just eating breakfast. What's up?"
"Well...remember at lunch you were talking about how you wanted a job? Or at least thinking about it."
"Yes."
"Well, I was thinking that you and I can go meandering around town and we'll find you a job! What do you think?" she asked.
"Really!?" I shouted, eyes wide. "That'd be great if that can be arranged. Uh huh, after school, I still don't know my way around town."
"Okay, see you then," she said and hung up.
I placed the phone onto the receiver and I started humming as I continued eatting breakfast, though Yami was a bit quiet.
"Yami? You alright?" I asked, but he only walked towards the door, grabbing his bag.
"I'll see ya there Yugi," he said quietly. "I told Mahado I'd be there early to help set up class."
"O...okay," I said, and watched him leave, wincing when the door was slammed. "Sheesh Yami. Why are you getting so grouchy when ever I'm near someone? You don't own me...(sigh) but you do own my heart."
With those words I rose up and cleared off the table, washing the dishes, then grabbing my back pack and headed out the door.
While walking across the black top towards the Cairo University, I heard footsteps behind me and I turned to see Ryou!
"Ryou!" I said happily, as he waved, continuing to run towards me.
"Hey Yugi. I just saw you and had to run to catch up with you. Bakura went ahead, said something about daily beat ups or something," Ryou explained, then a look of puzzlement came onto his face and he grasped my hand and held it up. "Wow, I can't believe I missed this. How can you miss a huge diamond on someone's finger?"
My cheeks heated and I smiled.
"You're engaged already?" Ryou asked, his voice becoming a bit high in excitement.
"Uh huh! Yami and I are hooked," I said with a grin, crossing my index and middle finger together. "We're planning to be bound together after college."
"Hm, smart idea. Very smart idea. But you're sooooo lucky. I've been waiting for two years for Bakura to propose, but (sigh) he still hasn't. He's either to shy, or he's just dumb."
"I bet he will sooner or later. He won't let anyone else have you, not even your own mother."
Ryou laughed and nodded.
"That actually happened once."
"Holy shit, you serious!"
"Uh huh. Now Bakura's got a restraining order from my house."
I laughed.
Inside the classroom everyone was whispering about something, and I could see Marik, Malik, and Bakura putting their heads together snickering about something.
To my disappointment, Yami wasn't there.
"Yugi!" came a shout, and I turned to see Nefer, who threw herself in my arms, and kissed me on the cheek. "I'm so excited for this afternoon. We'll become such good friends!"
Something in her tone seemed to indicate she wished it was more, but I was glad she settled for friendship since I was engaged.
Suddenly, the door opened and Mr. Mahado came in, Yami right behind him carrying a box filled with textbooks.
Once his eyes landed on me and Nefer, they narrowed and sharply turned his head away, while Mr. Mahado didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.
Gently, I pulled away from Nefer and slowly took my seat, staring at the table top as Yami sat heavily beside me.
"Yami," I whispered.
"Shush," he hissed.
I stared up at him sadly, and slowly touched his dangling hand.
It moved away, but I grabbed onto it tightly and squeezed it gently.
'I love you Yami.'
His hand hung loose, and his eyes stayed up front, and I sighed, letting my hand drop and forcing my attention on Mahado.
~*~
"Okay!" I shouted, slamming my hands on the table top angrily, causing Yami to look up from eating. "What the hell is your problem. You've been giving me the cold shoulder all day, why? Is it because I'm being showed around town by Nefer, or is it because you saw her hugging me?"
"Slut."
My eyes widened.
"What did you just call me?"
"Slut," he said again.
I raised my hand to slap him, but stopped and let it drop heavily.
"Fine, have it your way. Then I guess you won't mind if I do start dating Nefer, huh?" I asked coldly, and turned on him. "And I bet you won't mind if I stay late out tonight, huh?"
"What!" Yami shouted standing up. "Yugi it's not safe out there! I should know, I lived here!"
"Why should I listen to you? Huh?" I bit back coldly.
Yami's face became red and threw up his hands.
"Fine! Do what you want!" he shouted back, and stomped off.
I stared after him angrily and sat beside Ryou, who chattered and flirted with Bakura, which caused me to sigh.
'Why is it always my life that's complicated?'
~*~
"And this is the place!" Nefer said happily, and I nearly shouted out for joy.
"Oh my god!" I shouted, excitment trembling through me. "A Game shop!"
"Yep! I heard you like games, Yugi, so I thought you'd like to work here," she said, smiling.
"Yes, thank you!" I said. "Wait out here, I'll be right back."
"Okay."
With butterflies in my stomach, I went inside and went right up to the counter to an elderly man who was looking over a list of the daily shipments he had ordered.
"Um, excuse me. I saw your help wanted sign and was wondering if I could have the job?" I asked.
The elderly man took off his specticles and stared at me with narrowed eyes.
"Do you have an experience with money and lifting heavy boxes?" he asked in a grating voice.
"I've worked in my Grandpa's Gameshop since I could walk. And when I was ten he let me handle the cash register," I explained and to my relief, he nodded in approval.
"I'll give you a spin and see how you work around here, and then we'll talk about settling down to work, when are you free?"
"All week except for weekends."
"Perfect. I'm usually closed early on Saturday and am completely closed on Sunday. You can start tomorrow, I'll pay you ten dollers a day."
"That will do nicely sir," I said smiling. "I'll be here right after school."
He nodded, and I pratically ran out of the shop in joy, and I grabbed Nefer and spun her around.
"Thank you so much Nefer! This is the best job someone could ever introduce me too! Thank you!" I said happily and she glowed, blushing.
"It was nothing, Yugi. I'm always willing to help."
"Now," I said, as I calmed down. "I promised to follow my guide around town. So, where should we go first?"
All day she showed me around the town, where I'd find food, books, and clothes.
She gladly showed me where the arcade was and we spent an hour or three playing against each other and other people, and ended up winning a lot of tickets.
But we didn't really need them, so gave them to people who didn't have enough tickets to get the prizes they wanted.
The day passed by fast, so fast that it was 6:00 already, and I walked with Nefer to the bus stop, dropping her off, and then I started home.
Or at least, I meant to go home, but while I was walking back I heard my name being called and I looked back to see Reioko waving at me, running towards me.
"Hey Yugi!" he shouted. "Are you busy tonight?"
"Um...I have homework, sorry," I said, but he didn't look troubled at all.
"That's okay, but are you free on Friday?"
"Work."
"Work? Wow," he muttered, then perked up. "Then how about Saturday?"
I was about to say that Yami and I had a date, when I remembered how angry he was at me, and nodded.
"Alright, Saturday, but where are we going?"
"That's my secret," he said with a wink and walked with me silently towards the dormatory and we both went inside.
It was still dark so I knew Yami wasn't back yet, which was fine with me.
"Say, Reioko, do I have to dress up or anything?" I asked.
"Yep, but don't worry, I'll lay it out for ya."
"Oh...okay," I said uneasily, and cracked open my text books and started my work.
~*~
All through the week, Yami sort of avoided me, and I put on an air that I didn't care what he did, but in truth...my heart hurt that he wouldn't even talk to me.
Well...it was kind of my fault, because when he got back from work he causually asked how it was, but it was his tone that got my temper up.
The way he asked his questions was like he was actually asking how the sex was.
My temper had snapped and I had put on an impression that she and I actually did have sexual contact and that brought him into a foul mood, and we ended up in a full agrument, throwing a few items, and then in anger, I moved out of the room and slept on the couch.
Saturday.
Yami decided he would work on the weekends too, and so left early at six before I even woke up, which surprised me since I slept on the couch and I was sure I would hear the door slam shut. (Which kind of worried me, since I really liked, no, loved my sleep and was extremely worried that I would be awakened earlier then I wanted to be with someone's activity in the kitchen or something.)
Reioko seemed excited about where he was taking me and when ever I asked about it, he only shook his head and said that I'd have to wait and find out.
So while I waited for night to come to find out where Reioko's surprise place was, I counted the money that I had earned from working at the Game Shop and stowed it in a small bank concealed in my top drawer under all my clothing.
Then I started writing letters to my friends and Grandpa, then I decided I'd go shopping for more food and...maybe a little something to cure Yami's anger at me.
I was glad that I went touring with Nefer on Tuesday because now I could find the food market easily and was able to find something that would make Yami feel better.
First I was going to send him a dozen red roses with an apology letter, and an offer to make it up someday when he got back from work.
Then I had to pick up my order from the jewlery shop tomorrow, and either give it to him lovingly or do it while begging for forgiveness.
"I hope he decides to accept my apology," I whispered to the darkening sky, and walked slowly back towards my room, where Reioko was waiting, shoving black clothing into my arms.
"Put this on," he instructed, then shoved me into the bathroom.
Confused, I stripped down and pulled on this tight black shirt, and tight black pants, placing a collar around my neck and silver tight manacles around my wrists.
Once I was done, I came out, but Reioko grabbed me and started putting something under my eyes and then grabbed the end of the black shirt and tour an inch off of it, exposing some of my stomach, that made me blush, and covered it hasitly with my arms.
"Okay, where the heck are we going that I have to dress like this?" I asked, but Reioko only grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the dormatory and through the streets.
"Reioko! I mean it, where are we going! I'm not very pleased with the way I'm dressed up..."
"You'll see!" he shouted. "Now shush, you're giving me a head ache."
With a groan I stayed quiet and followed him till he stopped in front of some run down looking place with music bursting from the walls.
I could see lights flashing then and again from the cracks of the old wood, and through the class doors I could see that the room was dark with different color spot light shining everywhere randomly.
Before I could refuse in going in there, Reioko pulled me towards the building and pushed open the door, dragging us inside.
Inside was a huge room filled with men and women from young fourteen to late twenties, all dressed in tight outfits, or very skimpy wear.
"Oh...my god," I whispered and turned to leave, but Reioko grabbed my arm and dragged me even further into the crowd and stopped at a slightly cleared area, and had me stand there.
"I'm going to get some punch. Want any!" he shouted and I shook my head frantically, I mean...who knew what they did to the punch.
Some of these people looked like the perfect type to spike the punch with a deadly alchoal or something!
"Suit yourself, stay here, and don't move, I'll be right back," he promised, and slipped inbetween two people dancing and was gone.
A shiver ran up my spine and I watched as people did these very sickening moves, and some danced way to close for comfort to each other.
Some even seemed to be making out while dancing, and the music was filled with lust and filth, that I stopped listening to it and kept an eye out for Reioko.
'Why did he take me here?' I thought and shivered again. 'I wish Yami was here. I know he would have pulled me right out and we'd go some place else more pleasant.'
As a nervous habit, I toyed with the ring upon my finger, feeling a little better, when I felt a precense near by and looked up, hoping it might be Reioko, but instead it was a tall slim guy in his early twenties.
He had black hair tied back in a ponytail with a big T-shirt half tucked into baggy geans, and I could tell he was broad shouldered and very muscular.
I didn't like the look in his black eyes, and turned my face away, but his fingers grabbed my chin rougly and pulled my face towards his, my violet/crimson eyes meeting his black.
"Cute you are, little kitten?" he purred, threading his other hand into my hair.
I pulled away, a bit disgusted he would dare touch me like this, and turned to leave, but he grabbed me, slamming into the wall roughly.
"You aren't getting away from me, no. Not such a cute little catch."
My body trembled, and I was immoble as he slung me over his shoulder and threaded through the crowd towards the back, but before we reached near it, I was able to force myself to move and tried shouting for someone to help me, but the music drowned out my pleas and there were hardly any people near that part of the building.
I heard something crash open and grunted as I was thrown onto the ground, looking up dumbly as the guy closed the door, eloping me in darkness.
The sound of my breath could be heard in my ears as my eyes darted left to right to find where the man had gone, when something grabbed the front of my shirt, ripping it in half, hands touching me.
I squirmed, screaming, but it was silenced with a tongue in my throat and more places of my body being touched.
I've never been so terrified in my life, and in panic, my left hand turned into a fist and it shot up.
I wasn't sure if I hit him, but I did hear a cry and I rolled onto my now bare feet and threw myself into a wall, trying to find the door.
A hand grabbed my leg, pulling me down, and I screamed as a hand grabbed my shoulder and nearly crushed the bone, and felt something hard impact into my body.
More touches, more kisses, ugh it was disgusting.
"Get off of me!" I shouted, somehow pushing the guy off of me and threw myself blindly forward, and nearly cried in relief as I felt a door knob!
Turning it hastily, I nearly fell as it opened, and scrambled out, but my legs gave out on me and I collapsed.
Slowly, I was able to get onto all fours, but a hand grabbed my hair roughly and I cried out, and felt myself being thrown, and trembled as I lay upon the ground.
The music had stopped, and whispers came from all around me.
I slowly drew myself up onto my knees, and trembled, my eyes wide, tears running down my face.
My body felt so dirty and I hugged myself, crying harder.
Nobody moved to help me, and I didn't care, as long as that man didn't touch me anymore.
'I wish I was dead,' I thought, as I bowed my head, the tears flowing even faster. 'I wish I was dead! What would Yami think of me now? Grandpa? My friends? Who'd want someone as dirty as me now?'
"Oh my Ra," came a whisper and my head jerked up, and I met the eyes of the last person I'd ever wanted to see me like this.
My shirt was in shreds, falling off my body, my pants were ripped and my shoes were gone.
I knew that I probably had bruises on my body and my eyes must be all red and puffy, but he continued to stare at me, shocked.
How could he even stand the sight of me!?
"Yami."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mijikai: Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh, and I'm really sorry!
Yugi: O_O I've been raped. OH MY GOD!
Yami: You are dieing know you little bitch!
Mijikai: O_o Please review though I think this was a bit of a sad chapter. I'll start working on the next chapter so I can post it soon. If I'm lucky (_IF_ mind you) maybe tomorrow....maybe. (runs away from Yami)
REVIEW
Yami: COME BACK HERE YOU FUCKEN BITCH! KILLER OF INNOCENCE!
Mijikai: WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!!
Something smelled good, really good, and I cracked open an eye to find myself alone in bed, the door open slightly spilling light into the dark room.

"Hey Yugi. I just saw you and had to run to catch up with you. Bakura went ahead, said something about daily beat ups or something," Ryou explained, then a look of puzzlement came onto his face and he grasped my hand and held it up. "Wow, I can't believe I missed this. How can you miss a huge diamond on someone's finger?"
My cheeks heated and I smiled.
"You're engaged already?" Ryou asked, his voice becoming a bit high in excitement.
"Uh huh! Yami and I are hooked," I said with a grin, crossing my index and middle finger together. "We're planning to be bound together after college."
"Hm, smart idea. Very smart idea. But you're sooooo lucky. I've been waiting for two years for Bakura to propose, but (sigh) he still hasn't. He's either to shy, or he's just dumb."
"I bet he will sooner or later. He won't let anyone else have you, not even your own mother."
Ryou laughed and nodded.
"That actually happened once."
"Holy shit, you serious!"
"Uh huh. Now Bakura's got a restraining order from my house."
I laughed.
Inside the classroom everyone was whispering about something, and I could see Marik, Malik, and Bakura putting their heads together snickering about something.
To my disappointment, Yami wasn't there.
"Yugi!" came a shout, and I turned to see Nefer, who threw herself in my arms, and kissed me on the cheek. "I'm so excited for this afternoon. We'll become such good friends!"
Something in her tone seemed to indicate she wished it was more, but I was glad she settled for friendship since I was engaged.
Suddenly, the door opened and Mr. Mahado came in, Yami right behind him carrying a box filled with textbooks.
Once his eyes landed on me and Nefer, they narrowed and sharply turned his head away, while Mr. Mahado didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.
Gently, I pulled away from Nefer and slowly took my seat, staring at the table top as Yami sat heavily beside me.
"Yami," I whispered.
"Shush," he hissed.
I stared up at him sadly, and slowly touched his dangling hand.
It moved away, but I grabbed onto it tightly and squeezed it gently.
'I love you Yami.'
His hand hung loose, and his eyes stayed up front, and I sighed, letting my hand drop and forcing my attention on Mahado.
~*~
"Okay!" I shouted, slamming my hands on the table top angrily, causing Yami to look up from eating. "What the hell is your problem. You've been giving me the cold shoulder all day, why? Is it because I'm being showed around town by Nefer, or is it because you saw her hugging me?"
"Slut."
My eyes widened.
"What did you just call me?"
"Slut," he said again.
I raised my hand to slap him, but stopped and let it drop heavily.
"Fine, have it your way. Then I guess you won't mind if I do start dating Nefer, huh?" I asked coldly, and turned on him. "And I bet you won't mind if I stay late out tonight, huh?"
"What!" Yami shouted standing up. "Yugi it's not safe out there! I should know, I lived here!"
"Why should I listen to you? Huh?" I bit back coldly.
Yami's face became red and threw up his hands.
"Fine! Do what you want!" he shouted back, and stomped off.
I stared after him angrily and sat beside Ryou, who chattered and flirted with Bakura, which caused me to sigh.
'Why is it always my life that's complicated?'
~*~
"And this is the place!" Nefer said happily, and I nearly shouted out for joy.
"Oh my god!" I shouted, excitment trembling through me. "A Game shop!"
"Yep! I heard you like games, Yugi, so I thought you'd like to work here," she said, smiling.
"Yes, thank you!" I said. "Wait out here, I'll be right back."
"Okay."
With butterflies in my stomach, I went inside and went right up to the counter to an elderly man who was looking over a list of the daily shipments he had ordered.
"Um, excuse me. I saw your help wanted sign and was wondering if I could have the job?" I asked.
The elderly man took off his specticles and stared at me with narrowed eyes.
"Do you have an experience with money and lifting heavy boxes?" he asked in a grating voice.
"I've worked in my Grandpa's Gameshop since I could walk. And when I was ten he let me handle the cash register," I explained and to my relief, he nodded in approval.
"I'll give you a spin and see how you work around here, and then we'll talk about settling down to work, when are you free?"
"All week except for weekends."
"Perfect. I'm usually closed early on Saturday and am completely closed on Sunday. You can start tomorrow, I'll pay you ten dollers a day."
"That will do nicely sir," I said smiling. "I'll be here right after school."
He nodded, and I pratically ran out of the shop in joy, and I grabbed Nefer and spun her around.
"Thank you so much Nefer! This is the best job someone could ever introduce me too! Thank you!" I said happily and she glowed, blushing.
"It was nothing, Yugi. I'm always willing to help."
"Now," I said, as I calmed down. "I promised to follow my guide around town. So, where should we go first?"
All day she showed me around the town, where I'd find food, books, and clothes.
She gladly showed me where the arcade was and we spent an hour or three playing against each other and other people, and ended up winning a lot of tickets.
But we didn't really need them, so gave them to people who didn't have enough tickets to get the prizes they wanted.
The day passed by fast, so fast that it was 6:00 already, and I walked with Nefer to the bus stop, dropping her off, and then I started home.
Or at least, I meant to go home, but while I was walking back I heard my name being called and I looked back to see Reioko waving at me, running towards me.
"Hey Yugi!" he shouted. "Are you busy tonight?"
"Um...I have homework, sorry," I said, but he didn't look troubled at all.
"That's okay, but are you free on Friday?"
"Work."
"Work? Wow," he muttered, then perked up. "Then how about Saturday?"
I was about to say that Yami and I had a date, when I remembered how angry he was at me, and nodded.
"Alright, Saturday, but where are we going?"
"That's my secret," he said with a wink and walked with me silently towards the dormatory and we both went inside.
It was still dark so I knew Yami wasn't back yet, which was fine with me.
"Say, Reioko, do I have to dress up or anything?" I asked.
"Yep, but don't worry, I'll lay it out for ya."
"Oh...okay," I said uneasily, and cracked open my text books and started my work.
~*~
All through the week, Yami sort of avoided me, and I put on an air that I didn't care what he did, but in truth...my heart hurt that he wouldn't even talk to me.
Well...it was kind of my fault, because when he got back from work he causually asked how it was, but it was his tone that got my temper up.
The way he asked his questions was like he was actually asking how the sex was.
My temper had snapped and I had put on an impression that she and I actually did have sexual contact and that brought him into a foul mood, and we ended up in a full agrument, throwing a few items, and then in anger, I moved out of the room and slept on the couch.
Saturday.
Yami decided he would work on the weekends too, and so left early at six before I even woke up, which surprised me since I slept on the couch and I was sure I would hear the door slam shut. (Which kind of worried me, since I really liked, no, loved my sleep and was extremely worried that I would be awakened earlier then I wanted to be with someone's activity in the kitchen or something.)
Reioko seemed excited about where he was taking me and when ever I asked about it, he only shook his head and said that I'd have to wait and find out.
So while I waited for night to come to find out where Reioko's surprise place was, I counted the money that I had earned from working at the Game Shop and stowed it in a small bank concealed in my top drawer under all my clothing.
Then I started writing letters to my friends and Grandpa, then I decided I'd go shopping for more food and...maybe a little something to cure Yami's anger at me.
I was glad that I went touring with Nefer on Tuesday because now I could find the food market easily and was able to find something that would make Yami feel better.
First I was going to send him a dozen red roses with an apology letter, and an offer to make it up someday when he got back from work.
Then I had to pick up my order from the jewlery shop tomorrow, and either give it to him lovingly or do it while begging for forgiveness.
"I hope he decides to accept my apology," I whispered to the darkening sky, and walked slowly back towards my room, where Reioko was waiting, shoving black clothing into my arms.
"Put this on," he instructed, then shoved me into the bathroom.
Confused, I stripped down and pulled on this tight black shirt, and tight black pants, placing a collar around my neck and silver tight manacles around my wrists.
Once I was done, I came out, but Reioko grabbed me and started putting something under my eyes and then grabbed the end of the black shirt and tour an inch off of it, exposing some of my stomach, that made me blush, and covered it hasitly with my arms.
"Okay, where the heck are we going that I have to dress like this?" I asked, but Reioko only grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the dormatory and through the streets.
"Reioko! I mean it, where are we going! I'm not very pleased with the way I'm dressed up..."
"You'll see!" he shouted. "Now shush, you're giving me a head ache."
With a groan I stayed quiet and followed him till he stopped in front of some run down looking place with music bursting from the walls.
I could see lights flashing then and again from the cracks of the old wood, and through the class doors I could see that the room was dark with different color spot light shining everywhere randomly.
Before I could refuse in going in there, Reioko pulled me towards the building and pushed open the door, dragging us inside.
Inside was a huge room filled with men and women from young fourteen to late twenties, all dressed in tight outfits, or very skimpy wear.
"Oh...my god," I whispered and turned to leave, but Reioko grabbed my arm and dragged me even further into the crowd and stopped at a slightly cleared area, and had me stand there.
"I'm going to get some punch. Want any!" he shouted and I shook my head frantically, I mean...who knew what they did to the punch.
Some of these people looked like the perfect type to spike the punch with a deadly alchoal or something!
"Suit yourself, stay here, and don't move, I'll be right back," he promised, and slipped inbetween two people dancing and was gone.
A shiver ran up my spine and I watched as people did these very sickening moves, and some danced way to close for comfort to each other.
Some even seemed to be making out while dancing, and the music was filled with lust and filth, that I stopped listening to it and kept an eye out for Reioko.
'Why did he take me here?' I thought and shivered again. 'I wish Yami was here. I know he would have pulled me right out and we'd go some place else more pleasant.'
As a nervous habit, I toyed with the ring upon my finger, feeling a little better, when I felt a precense near by and looked up, hoping it might be Reioko, but instead it was a tall slim guy in his early twenties.
He had black hair tied back in a ponytail with a big T-shirt half tucked into baggy geans, and I could tell he was broad shouldered and very muscular.
I didn't like the look in his black eyes, and turned my face away, but his fingers grabbed my chin rougly and pulled my face towards his, my violet/crimson eyes meeting his black.
"Cute you are, little kitten?" he purred, threading his other hand into my hair.
I pulled away, a bit disgusted he would dare touch me like this, and turned to leave, but he grabbed me, slamming into the wall roughly.
"You aren't getting away from me, no. Not such a cute little catch."
My body trembled, and I was immoble as he slung me over his shoulder and threaded through the crowd towards the back, but before we reached near it, I was able to force myself to move and tried shouting for someone to help me, but the music drowned out my pleas and there were hardly any people near that part of the building.
I heard something crash open and grunted as I was thrown onto the ground, looking up dumbly as the guy closed the door, eloping me in darkness.
The sound of my breath could be heard in my ears as my eyes darted left to right to find where the man had gone, when something grabbed the front of my shirt, ripping it in half, hands touching me.
I squirmed, screaming, but it was silenced with a tongue in my throat and more places of my body being touched.
I've never been so terrified in my life, and in panic, my left hand turned into a fist and it shot up.
I wasn't sure if I hit him, but I did hear a cry and I rolled onto my now bare feet and threw myself into a wall, trying to find the door.
A hand grabbed my leg, pulling me down, and I screamed as a hand grabbed my shoulder and nearly crushed the bone, and felt something hard impact into my body.
More touches, more kisses, ugh it was disgusting.
"Get off of me!" I shouted, somehow pushing the guy off of me and threw myself blindly forward, and nearly cried in relief as I felt a door knob!
Turning it hastily, I nearly fell as it opened, and scrambled out, but my legs gave out on me and I collapsed.
Slowly, I was able to get onto all fours, but a hand grabbed my hair roughly and I cried out, and felt myself being thrown, and trembled as I lay upon the ground.
The music had stopped, and whispers came from all around me.
I slowly drew myself up onto my knees, and trembled, my eyes wide, tears running down my face.
My body felt so dirty and I hugged myself, crying harder.
Nobody moved to help me, and I didn't care, as long as that man didn't touch me anymore.
'I wish I was dead,' I thought, as I bowed my head, the tears flowing even faster. 'I wish I was dead! What would Yami think of me now? Grandpa? My friends? Who'd want someone as dirty as me now?'
"Oh my Ra," came a whisper and my head jerked up, and I met the eyes of the last person I'd ever wanted to see me like this.
My shirt was in shreds, falling off my body, my pants were ripped and my shoes were gone.
I knew that I probably had bruises on my body and my eyes must be all red and puffy, but he continued to stare at me, shocked.
How could he even stand the sight of me!?
"Yami."
