Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh if I did I'd be a very rich middle school teen living in a beautiful mansion swimming in lots of cash and be Queen of Games.
A/N: Sorry about the long wait wow 27 days, I just came back from a three day vacation to Reno, Nevada! It was so fun especially when my dad and I well mostly my dad won a Yuugiou! poster for me from this very hard game where you had to shoot some Pepsi cans over and when you have 3 hits you get to choose posters there were like I think 3 Yuugiou posters you had to choose from. The one I got had Jou, Yami, Summoned Skull, and the Time Wizard it looks so cool, sorry for bragging I just love the poster it's just so awesome! Well enough of my blabbering onto the story.

Chapter 3: Suffering the Resurfacing Memories
"You brat stop slacking, you want to stay in this household, then I suggest you fucking shape up in your studies!"The older man took back his ruler after slapping it on the table, fully awakening his step-son. The younger boy looked up at the man, fear written in his eyes. "I also suggest that you shape your act up or it's to the hell with you."The elder man left the room leaving the young boy to study for his Chapter 9 math test which was based on the 'Area of a Circle'. 'This is so boring!'The body yawned as he solved some practice problems. 'I'm still tired from yesterdays lesson and I still have to do science later what a bummer, I'm starting to regret making that deal with that motherfucker!'
As time passed by, the young boy kept on slipping to slumber land and jerking back awake. He eventually fell asleep leaving only ten out of the forty problems done. The boy slept with peaceful dreams including one where he and his little brother would get out of this hellhole.

A slap followed by a cry of pain fully awakened the boy. Tears fell quickly from his eyes his back throbbing with pain. Another slap after another slap was heard throughout the huge mansion followed by the cries of pain from the young boy. "That's what you get for slacking off bitch!"
The boy weakly looked up to see the elder man slapping the yellow ruler he had been hit with repeatedly showing the boy that he was mad as hell. "You only did 10 out of 40 problems so I gave you 30 hits for punishment."The boy winced as he tried to move his badly hurt body.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
The boy heard drips, but was it water? No, the boy hadn't had a glass of water delivered to him by the maids. This cause his curiosity to take over he looked with horror on his face at the blood dripping onto the floor, but what was more surprising was that it was his blood. 'Oh god, I didn't think he would go that far into hurting me that much.'The boy thought still staring at the spot where his blood was still dripping on.
The elder man smirked at the face his stepson had. "Now get the hell back to work or expect more pain from me."The elder man then left his ruler still in his hand but with the tips of blood from the young boy. A nightmare, hell, pain, and suffering then began. A series of beatings was beared by the young boy throughout his life, the only good thing about this was that his little brother was spared of the pain he had been through.

The young boy leaped in the darkness, looking at the time cursing as it was an hour after his curfew. Climbing up the vines that were growing ferociously at the back of his home, leaping into the open window but as he did a punch connected to his stomach greeting him. The boy stumbled back holding his stomach in pain, looking up he saw in the moonlight his stepfather.
"Where the hell were you boy?"The boy winced, he had been hit in the same spot thousands of times but now the pain was even more intense. "Answer me! Son of a fucking bitch!"The elder man slapped his stepson making it sting like hell.
"I was watching a movie father, I'm sorry that I was late."The boy looked down not wanting to meet the haunting gaze of his father. Another punch to the stomach and a cry of pain was heard throughout the house. The boy tumbled down to his bed spitting out the blood that gathered in his mouth to the floor.
"Curfew was an hour ago did you know that?"The young boy noted his dangerous tone in fear that he was going to hit him again. "You were always in the way, but now I'm going to change all that."A smirk then appeared on the elder man's face making the boy nervous to all hell. As he looked on the elder man took out something sharp in the darkness, but as the elder man advanced he gasped seeing the blade of a knife in the elder man's hand.
The boy backed up, the elder man advanced, holding the knife high up in the air. "Even though you're my son well stepson actually, I'm getting rid of you immediately and let your little brother mourn over your death."The elder man chuckled as they were now inches apart, the blade then came and cut him.

"NO!!!!"A young teenage boy sat up with fear written on his face his cerulean eyes showing most of it. Cold sweat dripped off his face to the silk blue covers of the bed. "Why are you haunting me!"The boy was distressed his chestnut hair messier than usual in the morning, his eyes still widened in fear, and his silk black pj's sticking to him like hell.
This boy known as the Seto Kaiba got off his bed looking into his five-hundred dollar mirror as he saw the dark rings under his eyes, it clearly showed he barely had any sleep. "Get it together Seto he's dead, he can't hurt you anymore."The brunet then paced around the room trying to calm himself down, thinking about his brother and about other stuff like Kaiba Corp.
His thinking eventually brought him to a certain blonde. How they always get into fights, how he would always rattle the blonde, how his beautiful blonde sunflower petal colored hair swayed in the wind, how his honey-brown eyes showed innocence and passion, and how cute he was when he was angry.
The chestnut haired boy stopped and snorted. "What am I thinking I don't love the mutt and I'm not bisexual."Truth be told he does love the blonde, but he denies it and just moves onto another subject. "Me and the make inu never going to happen, not ever."
Slowly walking to black wooden closet, the CEO opened it to find a little boy shivering in fear. "Somebody please help me."The boy whispered more to himself than to anyone. Slamming the door panting, the cerulean eyed boy shook his head trying to clear the image of his childhood self that was in the closet only to find that he couldn't.
Moments or minutes later, shakily he opened it to his relief to find nothing, no little boy shaking in fear, but only his clothes. He then grabbed a black silk, smooth black shirt followed by matching pants. "Now let's see, Mokuba's at a friends house for a week and my schedule seems to be free of any activity so I'll just watch the news."He walked out of his room and walked through the many hallways of his mansion.
A sudden ring brought the tiniest attention to the chestnut haired boy as he grabbed a black phone. "Kaiba here."

The smell of eggs, bacon, and filled the air of the game shop as Yuugi opened his amethyst eyes to see that he was still in the guest room. "Guess I fell asleep."He looked at the blonde boy sleeping peacefully as he stood up and sighed. "Jou you've been keeping secrets from me, why?"He looked at the teen's peaceful face with worried eyes wondering why had he been keeping secrets from him. "Well I'll be back Jou."
The short teen walked down the stairs smelling the scent of food. It struck him, who was cooking the food? His grandpa was on a business trip and wouldn't be back till Thursday which was three days from now. It was either a burglar or one of his friends, but to be safe he got an umbrella from near the coat rack and put it to his side ready to attack anyone who trespassed in the house/game shop.
He took a deep breath and charged into the kitchen and stopped to see Yami cooking with an apron. "Yami?"He asked blinking as the said teen turned around and smiled.
"Ohayou Gozamasu aibou."the dark spirit chuckled seeing Yuugi blink at him very surprisingly. "I'm cooking breakfast is eggs and sausage ok, surprised?"Yami chuckled sweetly as he gazed at his aibou with those crimson eyes making the young boy blush slightly at the gaze.
Yuugi looked down and twiddled with his fingers hoping that Yami didn't notice a slight sight of pink on his cheeks. "Y-yeah really surprised."Yuugi replied as he then nodded at the first question and sat on a chair next to a table. He looked up when some food was then placed near him as Yami sat next to him.
"Hope you like it, Grandpa taught me cooking last week when he caught me watching him."Yami said as he smiled brightly.
Yuugi took a bite of the home cooked meal and soon he finished the whole plate. "Man that is some great food."
Yami smiled. "So you like?"He asked with curious eyes as Yuugi nodded standing up. It then a smash was heard upstairs by the two.
"Let's check up on Jou, I hope he's ok."A worried expression then came over the young teen as he ran upstairs with Yami trailing behind him. "If Jou is ok, do you have some kind of magic spell that could heal Jou Yami?"The young hikari asked with hope in his amethyst eyes as he looked at Yami
They stopped at the guest room door as Yami sadly replied, "Sorry aibou I don't I wish I did though."
Opening the door the two boys walked in expecting their young blonde haired friend to be sleeping peacefully, but when they neared the bed of where the blonde occupied, shattered glass was found on the wooden floor as they concluded together that it was from the guest room window.
Now was the moment of truth as they turned to the bed as Yuugi gasped with fear. "Oh my god."
