Yami Pandora: well here's the fourth chapter. Hope you like it.

Chapter 4

(Last Time)

After a while, he came across an alley way. Part the way down he could see a metal brief case that looked suspiciously like Seto's. He walked over to it, picked it up and as he looked around, he gasped when he saw what was on the corner of a joining alley, out of sight of the main streets.

(This Time)

Yami saw an unconscious Seto Kaiba lying in the alley way, covered with blood. He had multiple bruises on his face, and blood seemed to be seeping through his school uniform from his back and legs. "By Ra, Seto. What happened to you" Yami whispered to himself. He took his phone out of his pocket and dialled Mokuba's number. "Hello, Yami. Have you found Seto yet?" came the rushed and panicked answer.

"Yes Mokuba, I have found him. But he won't be walking anywhere for a while, he's been beaten up pretty badly" Yami replied

"What? How is he? Where is he? Is he awake? Will he be alright?" a stream of questions immediately erupted from Mokuba. Yami replied, trying to remember every question Mokuba had asked. "As I've said, he's been badly beaten up, he's in an alley way near your school, he's unconscious but I think he will be fine once he has seen a doctor" he said. A sigh of relief was heard from Mokuba's end, as though he had held his breath the entire time Yami answered his questions. "Alright, I'll be right over with the limo. Yugi and Joey are with me right now, so they'll be able to help too" said Mokuba. A mumbling was heard in the background, as though someone coughJoeycough was complaining about what was going on. A small thud and an 'ow' was heard shortly afterwards and Yami heard Mokuba yell "MY BROTHERS BEEN BADLY HURT AND YOU'RE COMPLAINING? MY BROTHERS RIGHT, YOU NEED TO GROW UP!". Yami would have laughed had the situation not been so serious; after all, it was embarrassing for a sixteen year old to get yelled at by an eleven year old. "Well, Mokuba I'll you in a few minutes. Hurry though, there is blood everywhere" Yami said as the yelling ceased. Yami put his phone back in his pocket and knelt down beside Seto, and started to try to stop some of the bleeding. He took off his jacket and tore some of the material off to tie around some of Seto's wounds. He removed Seto's blazer and shirt and gasped when he saw the extensive damage done to Seto's back. He quickly wrapped his torn jacket around Seto's back to try and slow the bleeding. He then replaced Seto's jacket, not bothering to put the shirt back on as it was so blood soaked. When he was finished, he held Seto in his arms, wondering who could have done something so cruel. Sure, Seto was cold and sarcastic, and loved taunting Joey, but he would never sink to the level of beating people up for the fun of it, and even if it was only self-defence, he wouldn't hurt someone this badly. Yami looked at his crushes face. He looked so vulnerable and broken, and even in unconsciousness he had a frown on his face, showing his fear, whereas he was usually so confident and cold, oblivious to insults thrown his way.

As Yami listened to the sound of the traffic going past, Seto started to stir, although Yami didn't notice as he was deep in thought again. Seto moaned in pain and this got Yami's attention. "Kaiba, are you alright… Kaiba?" Yami asked the concern evident in his voice.
"Wha… Yami?" Seto said groggily, on the border of losing consciousness again. It hurt Yami to see Seto looking so frail and broken. He could tell by looking into Seto's half-open eyes that he had suffered greatly. "Who did this Kaiba?" Yami asked softly, though inside, he was seething that someone would dare to harm his Seto 'MY Seto? Not the time for thinking like this' Yami thought.

"None of your business" came Seto's weak reply. He tried to stand up on his own, but collapsed as pain coursed through his back before he even managed to get to his feet properly. Yami caught him in mid fall, a look of genuine concern on his face. "Kaiba, please, I'm trying to help you. What exactly happened here?". Yami noticed that Seto's eyes started to tear and a haunted look appeared on his face. "Kaiba, please tell me" Yami said.

"I… I…" Seto couldn't seem to get the words out, which Yami thought was unusual, as Seto always had some clever retort and was never lost on what to say. "Kaiba…" Yami began, but he also couldn't think of anything to say that would comfort Kaiba.

"I… I… was r… raped" Seto managed to choke out in between the sobs that had escaped his mouth. He then began to explain what had happened with Maniakku, and what had happened in his past. With that Seto buried his head into Yami's shirt and started crying and shaking violently. Yami just held Seto tightly, unable to speak. 'Why would anyone do such a thing?' Yami thought. He held Seto tighter as Seto's sobbing increased.

Yami heard the sound of brakes 'Yugi and Mokuba must be here' he thought.

"Seto!" Mokuba shouted. "Are you alright? What happened?" Mokuba asked as soon as he'd ran over to his big brother. Then he saw that Seto was crying. "Seto, what's wrong?". Mokuba had not seen Seto cry since Gozaburo had been alive, when he was beaten almost every day. 'But that can't be happening now, so what has happened?' Mokuba thought. How wrong he was.

"Let's just get your brother home, Mokuba" said Yami. Behind Mokuba, he saw Joey and Yugi walk up.

"Hey, what's going on…. What's wrong with Kaiba?" asked Joey. He had a look of complete shock on his face. Mostly because of the state Seto was in, and partially because Seto was crying. He hadn't thought that Seto was capable of any human emotion, yet here he was, crying on his greatest rival. "Joey, help me" Yami said, trying to lift Seto to his feet. He draped one of Seto's arms around his shoulder, and placed one of his arms around Seto's waist while the other hand was holding the hand around his shoulders. Joey walked over and did the same with Seto's other arm, and together they supported him to the limo. Seto didn't even try to fight them, he was too exhausted and now he was grateful for their help. They fastened Seto's seat belt, then fastened themselves in and waited for Yugi and Mokuba to get in. On the drive to the Kame Game Shop, to drop off Yugi and Joey (Joey's staying there the night, and Yami is going to stay with Seto and Mokuba), Seto said to Mokuba "I will tell you what happened when we get home". Mokuba frowned.

"You just don't want Yugi and Joey to know. Yugi's gonna find out anyway, he and Yami share a mind link, remember?" he said. Seto remained silent.

(Seto's POV)

After Mokuba had said that, I thought back to what had happened tonight. I had woken up to find myself in the arms of my rival, Yami. At first, I had tried to push him away, like I usually do, but he refused to leave me. I knew he could tell I'd been hurt, he just didn't know how much. He continued to try and comfort me, and his kindness got to me. I broke down in his arms and cried, telling him about my past and everything that had happened tonight. I can still feel Maniakku, I can still smell him, I can still hear his voice in my head, taunting me. I wish I could have led a normal life.

After a few minutes, I heard Mokuba shout my name. I didn't listen to what he was saying. I didn't want him to know what had happened, he has never found out about the rape, only some of the beatings. He doesn't deserve to know all the horrible things that have happened. I then heard the mutt's voice. Great, just what I needed, him to have seen me break down. He'll never let me live it down and I don't intend to tell him the reason I am such an emotional wreck.

We soon came to the Kame Game Shop, where Yugi and the mutt left. It seemed that Yami had decided to stay with Mokuba and I tonight. I wonder why? I wonder why he would want to help me too. I've always been a bastard to him and his friends and his and Yugi's kindness baffles me. My head hurts from thinking so much, my own thoughts are giving me a headache. Maybe I should consider a holiday. When we arrived at the mansion, both Mokuba and Yami supported me in. They led me to the living room, where I promptly collapsed on the sofa. Mokuba ran off towards the phone. I know he's going to call Dr Kea. She was the one who treated me after Gozaburo died. She's a kind lady of around 33 to 38 years old, with black hair and green eyes. I swear, she mothers me too much.

When Mokuba came back, he looked at me and said "Seto, you said you were gonna tell me what happened". Damn. I guess he's going to find out everything now. "Maniakku's still alive" I said simply. He just looked at me, expecting more. I sighed and continued. "Well, I ran into him when I was coming to get you. He beat the crap out of me and raped me ". There. I said it. He knows everything. I see my little brothers mouth open in shock. He flung himself into my arms and started to cry, "Why did he do that? Has he always been doing it? Why didn't you ever tell me?" As I hear each of his questions, I notice the sorrow and betrayal in his voice so I said to him, "Mokuba, it's not that I didn't trust you, I… Just didn't want you to know" I struggled over that last part. Mokuba still had that hurt look on his face, so I told him everything about Gozaburo and Maniakku. He listened attentively, gasping occasionally in shock. Can't say I blame him. Together, Gozaburo and Maniakku were pretty sadistic.

After I had finished with my story, even Yami had tears in his eyes. I hated to see either of them cry. The door bell rang. Mokuba went to answer it, and I heard the voice of Dr Kea floating through the hall.

Random Song – Nightwish, The Kinslayer

For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion

Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind

Even the dead cry
- Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don't care
Orchid kids, blinded stare

Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed

"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend"
"Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"

"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"
"Your praying is in vain It'll all be over soon"
"Father help me, save me a place by your side!"
"There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"

"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"

"Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain,
Lust for fame, a deadly game"

"Run away with your impeccable kin!"

"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..."
Cursing, God, why?
Falling for every lie
Survivors guilt
In us forevermore

15 candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know?"

9 blue ones
2 black ones
