Chapter 2: The Sorrowful Pain
My vision blurred as I walked well limped through the darkness of the night. Shakily I gripped onto a street pole, looking up even though it was blurry I could make out a Kami st. name, slowly I caught my breath taking in air to help me get through this night.
Pain.
I still felt the pain, my blood still running down the gash wounds my father had given me, my knees were starting to give up on me screaming with pain. I needed to keep going, the only one that was closest to my house and was good at nursing people was Yuugi. That tri-colored haired kid had saved me bunch of times, even when I used to bully him.
Yuugi. He's the best friend you could ever have in your life, it's like he came down from heaven to help people like me. Ever since he stood up for me and Honda that day, I started to like myself and made friends with the kid.
--Flashback--
I smiled, having a friend like Yuugi is like having an angel with you. Walking through a path of beautiful Sakura trees, I heard a familiar voice calling out from behind. "Jounouchi! Wait up!"
I stopped to see the said tri-colored haired kid running towards me. "Hey Yuug, what's up?"Panting heavily the boy stopped next to me. The wind blew gently making our hair sway slightly.
"Nothing much I just wanted to say thank you again for being my friend Jounouchi-kun."I could see his amethyst eyes meaning that. I smiled ruffling the kids hair chuckling as I saw the pout on his face.
"Hey just call me Jou, Jounouchi is a real mouthful to say. Besides it was nothing, after you defended Honda and I we felt very guilty about what we did to you."Seeing him smile made my day an absolute bright one.
Ruffling the boy's hair again we walked. "I'm really glad that you're happy Jou-kun."I was surprised to see that the boy hugged me, we stopped walking as time stood very still at this moment. My eyes widened to see tears coming from the usually happy boy. "I'm just so happy to finally have friends."The boy sniffled as I patted his back reassuring him that it was okay to cry.
"You know Yuug, ever since you stood up for us that day I've been happy, I learned to like myself because of you, I used to beat up people to let out my anger and because I hated myself." His tear-stained face looked up to me surprised written all over his face. "It's true, you're the best friend a guy could ever have and I mean that."
--End of Flashback--
I looked forward my eyes unfocused; blurry from blood loss and from the lack of sleep I was getting. 'Two more houses.'I thought smiling at the site of the Kame Game Shop now coming to view. I limped to the house, my strength suddenly returning to my body.
The lights weren't on but I knew that Yuug would always wake up to help anybody in need at anytime and place. Slowly and shakily I reached out ignoring the shock of pain that shot through my right arm like a bloody laser that was slicing my arm off as I reached for the doorbell and pushed it, the bell buzzer suddenly making itself known throughout the house.
Hearing someone whistling a simple tune of "Rakuen" walking toward the door and hearing someone walking down the stairs, I smiled, I knew that Yuugi and Yami were coming to my rescue. I've only known the ancient spirit for a month but we've become friends automatically after Battle City.
The door opened slightly as I heard two gasps. "Go to sleep now Katsuya." "Yuu..gi."I managed to breathe out, my strength suddenly leaving from my body after I heard that strange voice in my head. I started to close my eyes, falling slowly into the strong arms of Yami the ancient spirit as I blacked out into the darkness.

Two satisfied chuckles filled the air as two boys but not ordinary boys walked in the darkness of the night. "Well, well, that was easy."The taller of the two chuckled smirking.
"I know, so what's next aibou?"The other boy smirked walking along side of his partner. "What do we do with the blonde now, torture him in his sleep, kidnap him and cause a panic to his pathetic friends, or just let him be for now."The boy suggested as they arrived at a small apartment.
The taller of the two pondered as an idea soon came up, smirking evilly he said: "Let's just let him be for now, I have better plans for him later."(A/N: Dun, Dun, Dun...)

Yuugi gasped in horror at the sight of his fallen friend, bloodied with cuts all over his muscular body. The worried teen reached out shakily touching the red substance that was still fresh flowing from the blonde's body, making sure it wasn't what he thought it was. The feeling of the red liquid on his hand was very sticky just like blood, but the teen wasn't convinced as he then licked the drop of blood on his finger.(A/N: Talk about 'ew'!)
He gagged at the taste of it, grabbing a half full bottle of water from a table near him and drank 10 sips breathing heavily getting the taste out of his system.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
The sound of Jou's blood dripping on the floor made the tri-colored haired hikari nervous of what his friend's condition was and if he still had enough blood to live or die. "Let's clean him up aibou."The Pharaoh's voice brought the teen back to reality as he nodded quietly standing from his position on the floor.
Walking from the living room to the bathroom, Yami and Yuugi cleaned the blonde's wounds which were quite serious. Over 30 cuts were shown making the smaller teen gasp and look away. It took them an hour an a half to clean the blonde teen's wounds, Yuugi looked away a few times before being encouraged by Yami that he would be fine. "I'll check his pulse now Yami."
Yuugi shakily put his hand on his best friend's wrist, afraid of what the result was. Relief then washed all over the hikari's face as he felt a pulse. "How is he?"(A/N: An exact quote from the English dub episode 128!) The pharaoh asked wanting to know the status of how his friend was too.
"It's faint but I could feel a heartbeat, he's going to be okay, oh I'm so glad Yami."Tears began to flow through the young hikari's smiling face as he ran up to the Pharaoh and hugged him. (A/N: Aw isn't that cute folks?)
Yami returned the gesture by embracing his light lovingly as time seemed to stop again. A few minutes after being in the same position they gazed into each other's eyes, one looking at pools of crimson while the other the pools of amethyst.
A ringing from an alarm clock sounded startling the two out of their daze. Yuugi, being the one closer to the blasted alarm clock turned it off blushing of what his action was before the alarm startled him. "May I talk to Jou alone for a minute Yami?"
The Pharaoh was also blushing but it hadn't been noticed by the young hikari. Yami smiled nodding while he walked gracefully walking out of the guest room. Yuugi walked to the door, listening to hear Yami's fading footsteps as he thought, 'He really has a way of walking out during a dramatic moment'. (A/N: You got that right!)
Yuugi turned around to see the blonde boy all bandaged up, covering up most of his body, the teen then walked and knelt down next to Jou. (A/N: Think about ep. 128: Jounouchi's Death? After Jou battle Mariku and lost) "Oh Jou what the hell happened to you?"He couldn't hold it any longer, crying his eyes out he hugged his best friend lightly trying not to hurt the already wounded blonde. 'Just like Battle City, but this is worse.'The teen thought remembering what had happened after Jou's duel with Malik or his dark side that was created from hatred Mariku.
"Jou don't fucking die on me please you're the best friend a guy could ever have in their whole life too I just can't bare the thought of losing you,"He looked down and whispered, "I can't bare the thought of losing both you and Yami."(A/N: I know what you're thinking but this isn't YAMI/YUUGI/JOU! or YUUGI/JOU!)
About a half an hour later of waiting, wanting to know what happened Yami walked into the room. Opening the door about to ask a question the Pharaoh saw his young hikari hugging Jou with a tear-stained face, sleeping. 'Oh Yuugi.' Smiling sadly at the sight Yami walked over to the dresser that laid the mysterious Millennium Puzzle. Looking as it sparkled in the moonlight Yami then disappeared into the chambers hidden within the puzzle to rest after all this had been a long night for him and his hikari, but dangers lurked all around them and who knows where it would strike next or would cause a sudden sorrowful pain. (A/N: Hence the chapter title "The Sorrowful Pain")
