Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru: Glad you like, and yep, Seto get's involved! But do you really think that after what happened to him, he'd leave someone else in the same situation without even trying to help? He's not that mean.

############################## Yugi's POV ##############################

There's something about him, I don't know what it is, but I can sense something different.

I slip my hand into my coat pocket and frown, what's this?

I pull the piece off paper out and unfold it, I have to do a double take before I realize what's written, the butifull loopy but perfectly legible handwriting takes me by surprise at first...

Yugi, The number below is my mobile number, so if things get really bad and you need someone to talk to, you can call me. But I'd rather you didn't give this number to anyone else, I have enough problems without needing a new mobile number!

Underneath is a phone number, but I don't get what he means, 'if things get really bad'. The only problem I have at the moment is being bullied, but I can deal with that, I'm used to it.

"Hurry the hell up Yugi! Or do I need to make you?!" comes my farthers voice from down the street and I jog up to him, trying to keep up with his fast pace.

Once I get home, I go straight upstairs to my beloved computer and log onto MSN. Almost at once two windows pop up, one from Ryou, an English boy I've been talking to for a few months now, and one from Yami, who I've meant through Ryou, and have been talking to for about three weeks less.

Me and Ryou have exchanged pictures, but Yami said he didn't have a decent one, and I'm not going to give them anything they don't give me, I've got more sense than that.

I put them both on one convo. and we begin to talk.

After about an hour and a half, Ryou says he's got to go because his yami says so. He's explained about his ancient Egyptian double, and I think it's a bit far fetched actually, but I humor him, I've heard of such things, so he might be telling the truth. What shocked me most was when he told me about the relationship he had with this spirit. He was reluctant to tell, but had in the end. It got easier to tell the two apart as you talked to them more, even if they were trying to be each other just to wind the other up! Bakura, the spirit, was far more vulgar and 'expressive' and his topic of conversation got very interesting at times, to the point Yugi's farther had read it and wasn't too happy.

Yugi sighed, he didn't know why he did what he did next, but he trusted Yami, and he never really thought what he was typing, so he typed:

-My shoulder hurts! &Mutters&-

/Why?/

-I wouldn't get up this morning.-

/Oh/

Silence

-Hang on-

/'k/

Silence

-&Slaps flannel soaked in witch hazel on shoulder and puts ice pack on top, then takes 800mg of neurophen with a very strong Blue Lagoon&-

And so the convo. continues. Until Yami hit on something I had never even thought could possibly happen to him with my loving parents.

/you know Yugi, you should call the social/

-why?-

/your dad hits you, that's reason enough!/

-But he loves me! I'm the one in the wrong, he only punishes me when I do something wrong!-

/he hits you, which is illegal, you need to tell someone before it get's worse/

-It won't!-

/how do you know that?! He is breakin the law and hurting you! If I were you I'd call social/

-Well you're not me! Where'd I go anyway? A dumpin ground! A damn foster home! I don't wanna end up there!-

/you won't, you'll go to a relative/

-They'll really send me to my grandpa. He's too old to look after me.-

/ &Shakes head& if he not in home or disabled that's where you'd go/

-I'm still scared to call 'em-

/you must at some point/

-He works away a lot, so I can just avoid him 'till I can move out for collage.-

/ok, but if things get worse you do need to call social/

-I know, I'm not stupid!-

/alright then/

-I gotta go now, can I have your mobile no. so we can txt?-

/sure/

and that was that. I go to bed and think over what he said, is it illegal? What he's doing to me? I think of something Ryou said a while back that it's a form of mental abuse to ignore your child, mum does ignore me quite a lot...
