Chapter X: More Insanity Pushes Us Down… And Keeps Us There
________________________________________________________________________
"Oh, Nozomi look so beautiful, you agree otto?" she said holding the child up in her arms to show her husband.
Silence was her answer.
"Nozomi my dear sweet daughter, you make me proud one day. You will be most beautiful girl ever!" She brushed the child's dark locks back, pulling them into a tight bow.
She fixed the ruffles on the white dress.
"Otto, our daughter beautiful agree? She is our hope…not like your son." her eyes narrowed at his mention. "Haji is shame. He is shame!"
She threw down the brush furiously and stood. The small child cowered in the corner of the couch, terrified by her sudden and violent rages.
"Haji! Get out here bad son!"
The boy she summoned for hid in his room in his bed.
The material crinkled and crunched as he stirred.
"Haji!" She stormed down the basement steps and grabbed his arm roughly. "You damned boy! What wrong with you?! What did you do to Nozomi?!"
"What are you talking about?!"
She smacked him hard across the face, batting him to the floor aggressively. "You are disgrace! Even your name mean shame! You shame! You bad son! What you done to her?!"
"I didn't do anything! I haven't been upstairs since yesterday!"
"You lie!" she screamed into his face. She clasped one of her pale hands around his small throat. "ALL LIES! NOW SAY TRUTH!"
He squirmed as her grip tightened.
"What are you…talking about?!" he asked while he gasped for bits of air.
"You hurt my daughter!"
He scratched at her hands, attempting but failing to get her to loosen her tight grip. She flung him down to the cement.
Her hands tore away from his throat allowing him a quick breath, but it was lost when she flung her hands into his stomach.
"SHAME!"
He screamed.
Daggers.
Just like little daggers ripping into his skin.
Tearing.
Running small red trails down his bare chest and stomach.
Screaming.
He's screaming.
"Stop!! Stop!!"
Tears slipped from his eyes.
Evil.
Corruption.
Insanity.
True insanity.
Duke walked along slowly.
Today he had to get home early. He had to help his mom unpack groceries and help cook supper.
Relatives were coming.
He was one of them.
'I wish I could stay at Tristan's… just for tonight. We could stay up late… watch movies, cuddle…' He smiled a bit at that thought.
Tristan's arms felt so warm… comforting. Protective.
He walked along slowly reminiscing and dreaming of Tristan's arms.
Tristan's embrace.
"Duke! Hey, over here!"
He turned around quickly.
"Hey Tristan." he called back.
Tristan ran over to his side. "Duke, where are you going?"
"Home… where I live…"
"I always give you a ride though… what's up?"
"Oh, sorry, I just have to get home early today."
"I'll give you a ride-"
"You always drag me to some other place to make a 'quick pit stop' but then you end up buying me dinner and stuff… I need to get home early today."
Tristan blushed. "Just cant help it sometimes, but I promise no pit stops today okay."
Duke smiled. "Fine Romeo, but you better keep to that promise."
"Promise!" Tristan said happily while he grabbed Duke by the wrist and dragged him off to his bike.
Duke got on behind Tristan and grabbed onto him around his waist. "No stops?"
"No stops! …but I do need to drop by the-"
"NO!"
Tristan laughed as he started up his bike. "Just kidding."
Duke squeezed him tightly. "Ass."
"That you want… I know I know, just be patient."
Duke rolled his eyes. "Tristan, Tristan, what am I to do with you?" he said as they took off towards his house.
"I have a few suggestions."
"Isn't that pleasant, put them in the suggestion box."
"Show me where it is and I will."
Duke could sense Tristan's smile. "You are such a dork Tristan. How do I put up with you sometimes?"
"Its love my friend… its love. EMBRACE IT!" Tristan ended that thought with a bizarre cackle.
"I should take control of this bike and run it off a cliff or into a semi-truck or something."
"What's the point of that? You'd die too.."
"It's a small sacrifice but I may earn a medal for my good deeds towards all of humanity."
Tristan said nothing to that. Duke smirked.
"Ah, someone sounds happy again."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Duke asked.
Tristan said nothing for a bit. "Duke… are you pregnant?"
"Wha?! No! What the hell are you thinking about Tristan?! What are you? A dirty pervert or something?"
Tristan nearly crashed the bike from Duke's outburst. He laughed.
"You've been having the weirdest mood swings lately. Just wondering."
"Idiot! Stupid fool! Moron! Insensitive jerk!" Duke yelled over the engine as he smacked Tristan in the back with his fists.
"Enjoying yourself?"
"Yes, very."
"Ah, that's nice. I'll remember to make you angry more often!"
"…no comment…"
Tristan smiled at his boyfriend's normal returning behavior.
Neither said anything more until they reached Duke's house.
"Thanks, see ya later Trist."
"Hey wait a minute!" Tristan said grabbing Duke around his waist. "Come here."
Duke had little time to react or resist.
Light touch.
Duke closed his eyes slowly.
Tristan touched his lips to Duke's again, testing water. Testing his reaction.
Duke pressed into the feeling, letting the other boy know he was welcomed.
Tristan took his invite with pleasure.
Tears fell down to the ground.
The sky was weeping.
Sorrow?
Joy?
The heavens were weeping.
"What's wrong Joey?"
Joey tripped slightly at the voice. "Ah nothing Yug. Why?"
Yugi gave him his 'I know something's up, don't lie' look.
"Joey…"
"Gah Yugi! Why do ya gotta do that? Jeeze!" Joey said throwing his arms up into the air frustrated.
Yugi smiled. That voice always worked with Joey.
"Fine fine! Its… Kaiba… he.." Joey trailed off.
"What happened Joey? Did you two get into a fight already?"
"No. We did not get into a fight already. Do you honestly think we fight all the time?" Joey asked incredulously.
Yugi didn't even have to say anything to that.
"We don't fight that much…" Joey added on a second thought.
Silence. The look.
"Yugi! We don't! I swear! You are all out to get me! Jeeze!" Joey yelled waving his arms around before he returned to something between a pout and a sulk.
Silence passed between them until Joey chose to speak again.
"Yugi, I think there's something up with him… like, I don't know.. but I got a hunch.."
"Like what?"
"Well… I think I'll have to get back to you on that. Later!" Joey yelled running off towards the apartment he shared with his dad.
Yugi just smiled and waved. Joey would talk to him if he absolutely had to. Plus, it wasn't right for him to get into their personal businesses.
Kaiba's business was Kaiba's business.
As was Joey's.
Talk would come when needed. For now, silence was fine.
Whispers of tears dancing in a symphony composed by the heavens waltzed around his lone figure.
Yugi walked the last stretch alone.
Joey turned on his computer and waited for it to boot up.
Strangely his dad bought him a new computer for his birthday.
But that wasn't something he thought about too much.
Especially at the moment.
"Food…"
While he was waiting he decided to forge around in the kitchen for some kind of afternoon snack.
Happily he settled on cold rice. He popped it into the microwave and sat down at his desk.
"No new mail? Gah… no one loves me anymore."
Beep.
Incoming message from imdead_killme0016.
He clicked the okay button.

imdead_killme0016 has logged off.
Duke stood up slowly stretching his legs and arms.
"Gah… stupid idiot thinks I'm gonna kick it tonight… I'd rather jump than poison myself. Everyone knows then, but I couldn't hurt my mom like that…"
He watched his mother out of the window as she clumsily tried to balance four bags of groceries in her arms.
"I love her too much to do that…" Tears began to collect in his eyes. "She's so beautiful, so dear to my heart…" He started to sniffle. "…so strong too…so much to deal with, but she's so strong… I wish I could be strong like that…"
She flipped her brown hair back out of her eyes as streams of rainwater ran down her tired young face.
He wiped away all traces of his thoughts from his face and ran to open the door for her.
"Oh, hello honey, didn't know you were home yet." she said smiling at her son. "Could you give me a-" she started, but Duke completed the task just as she begun to ask.
He grabbed three of the bags from her arms and carried them to the kitchen as his mom took off her coat and hung it up on the rack.
"So, how was school?" She asked slowly, her eyes reflecting a few rays of worry from them.
He was silent for a bit. "Fine."
She smiled softly as she ran a gentle hand down his face lovingly. She kissed his forehead lightly. "That's good."
She pushed a few loose locks behind his ear before turning around to tend to the forgotten groceries. She hummed softly.
"Mom…?" Duke croaked out hoarsely. She turned back around to look at him.
"Yes?"
"Can I…" He paused. He looked down timidly.
"Can you what?" she asked while she took some cans out of the bags and put them in the cupboard.
"Can I go… to Tristan's tonight? Just tonight for dinner…"
"Duke, you said you were going to help me cook tonight. I cant do all this without your help." she said shaking a can in his direction.
"But mom…"
"Why?" she asked, startling him.
"Huh..?"
"Why do you want to go?"
He was silent for a bit. "…just cause… no reason…"
"No." She looked at him with a serious look. "Why?"
He couldn't tell her, even though she was his own mother.
"I just…"
"This is a secret. A dark secret. And dark secrets are better kept hidden, isn't that right?"
"Duke, what is it?" she asked beginning to get worried.
"Right?"
"..y-yes… its-its secret…"
"Nothing."
"Duke.."
"Its nothing! God, leave me alone!" he yelled at her. He slammed a can down onto the counter.
She bit her lip. She knew something had changed in him, but what was it?
"Duke…if you want to talk-"
"Shut up! Just leave me alone okay! I don't need- just.. just leave me alone!" he screamed running off to his darkened room. He slammed the door shut angrily and locked it.
The blank illuminated computer screen stared at him. It lit the darkness with its alien glow.
His buddy list…
imasteredSKlstnght01 (online)
"..stop it… stop looking at me! I told you! I already told you! Stop it!" he whispered fiercely, his hands running through his hair angrily.
Tears slipped faster.
"Stop looking at me! Stop looking at me you, you Kaiba fucker! I don't like you looking at me… stop it…!"
His knees buckled. His head crashed down to the floor.
"…stop…"
"Stop touching me! Don't touch me anymore! Don't touch me--!!"
He curled up into a ball on the floor resting his head on his knees.
Tears fell down in a torrent, like the rivers that flooded and sped down the lonely streets.
Whispering. Calling.
"…stop…"
ponyboi7883: can I tell you a secret?
imasteredSKlstnght01: ..a secret…what kind?
Silence…
ponyboi7883: a dark secret
imasteredSKlstnght01: yes
ponyboi7883: please dont tell
imasteredSKlstnght01: i wont
ponyboi7883: promise?
imasteredSKlstnght01: yes
Silence…
imasteredSKlstnght01: what happened?
ponyboi7883: ..
imasteredSKlstnght01: are you okay? what happened?
Silence echoed loudly…
Only his tears screamed louder…
ponyboi7883: my uncle raped me..
The darkness lies awake, waiting…
Silence his call, his answer…
imasteredSKlstnght01: have you told someone?
He waits…
ponyboi7883: no
imasteredSKlstnght01: you need to tell someone
ponyboi7883: no i dont
