Chapter 1: Broken Inside
What is there left to live for…
Why do I keep living in this constant nightmare…
There's nothing to believe in anymore…
Those were the thoughts that traveled through his mind as he laid in the hospital bed. The once mighty King of Games had become nothing more…than a mere soul who has lost his way, someone who cannot see the light anymore, whose has let the darkness taken over and whose life is slowly disappearing. For you see, a chain of events has caused an endless cycle of pain and misery for this man. Now here he is lying in a hospital bed, bandages around his eyes, constantly falling in and out of reality. Even though he couldn't see, he could hear everything that went on around him. That he may never have a normal life or may never see again…that it was his will that will allow himself have chance to regain his eyesight …but he didn't have any. He had been stripped of everything he had held dear. This story isn't for the fate of heart but how even the strongest person can be overcome by the shadows…
It all started on that faithful day…
(Flashback)
"Hey Yami, do you want to come with me to the store?" said his little brother, Yugi as he approached the door.
"Um…no, I'll be here when you get back" said Yami lying on the couch, watching TV.
"Oh…ok" he mumbled under his breath before he walked out the door with a sadden expression on his face.
He the door closed but didn't give it much thought. Yami had become more distance from everyone especially his little brother. He didn't know why but for some reason he didn't feel like he belonged. He never spent time with his friends or Yugi anymore. He would see how hurt Yugi would be but just ignored it…no matter how much it would hurt him as well as everyone around him. For some reason, he was falling into the darkness but wouldn't let himself be consumed. He watched TV for an hour and eventually fell under deep slumber. It was 5 hours later that he would wake up to hear heart wrenching news…that would be the beginning of his breakdown…
RING! RING!
The phone rang; waking him from his sleep as he groggily got up to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" he mumbled.
"Hello, is this the Mutou residence?"
"Yes, who is this?" he asked now with some curiosity.
"This is Domino Hospital calling about Yugi Mutou, is this a relative I'm speaking to?"
"Yes I'm his brother, is something wrong" said Yami with now worry and concern in his voice.
"I'm afraid so, your brother got caught in a shooting, the bullet pierced his lungs and he is in critical condition, is it possible you can come down here as soon as possible"
"Y-Yes I'll be right there"
He hung up the phone and frantically made his way out the door and to the hospital. He had no time to call Jounouchi or the others for his mind was in another place. Along the way, he felt a sudden rush of guilt run through his body. If he had gone with him, this may have never happened…if he had been a good brother to him, he wouldn't have gotten hurt…or worse. Yami's heart was pounding as he had finally arrived at the hospital. He had gone up to the doctor to ask about his brother's condition.
"Please tell me! How's my brother! Is he alright! Can I see him!" he yelled.
"Mr. Mutou, I'm sorry but…your brother, he died during the surgery, he had lost a lot of blood and we couldn't save him…I'm sorry"
Sorry? Sorry wasn't going to bring Yugi back.
'It's all my fault' said a voice in his mind over and over again. It was his fault, if he had been there, if he had spent more time with him, this may have never happened. He wasn't there to protect him.
(End of Flashback)
After that, there was a significant change in Yami, his personality had become darker, he was often rude, and always wanted to alone. When his friends would ask what's wrong he would simply walk away or remain silent. Word had spread fast about theYugi's death, the fame brother of the King of Games. In school, he was tormented but never took time to care. No matter how much everyone would worry, nothing was getting through to him. Oblivious to Yami, many of his enemies saw it as an opportunity to get even with him…
(Flashback)
The sky had turned black as the day was coming to an end. Yami was walking down a street walk alone in the middle of the night with no one else outside. It was then he noticed a group of four boys following him as he ran into an alley to try to get them out his back but failed as he soon found himself cornered.
"What's the matter? The great king of games is running away from something" said one of the boys growing closer to him.
"What do you want?" he said with an icy tone, his eyes narrowed as his anger began to overwhelm him.
"We just want to have some fun" he said as the other two boys grabbed him, prevented him from moving at all, no matter how much he struggled as the other boy tied a cloth around Yami's mouth so he wouldn't scream.
"This time, you're going to lose at this game" said another one of the boys with his finger tracing his abs. Yami felt the fear consume him. Sweat began to run down his face, wondering what they were going to do to him.
They tied his hands behind his back with another cloth and brought him back to one of the boys' apartment only a couple of blocks away. No one was outside, so they couldn't have gotten caught. Once at the apartment, he was pushed down to the bed as three of the boys went on top of him, preventing him from moving due to their combine weight. His clothes were ripped off as the boys began beating on them. His body was covered in bruises with blood trickling down from his lip.
"Now it's time for the fun part" one of the boys whispered in his ear. Yami shivered at his words as he knew what they were planning to do. They had turned him over and one of them pushed their member in Yami's butt. His muted screams were ignored as the boy became pumping in and out of him. The pain was unbearable; they ripped off the cloth around his mouth as he tried his best not to cry in pain. His eyes were closed tightly as the boy continued to pump in and out, harder and faster as time went by. The boy finally stopped as another boy pulled a knife out and put it up to Yami's neck.
"Now it's my turn" he said as he grabbed Yami by the hair and forced his dick into Yami's mouth. He tried to breakaway but failed. "Now by a good fuck toy and pleasure me or I'll end it right here" he said bringing the blade closer to his neck. He began to do as he was told even though he had hated ever moment that was passing. All night, one by one, they fucked him until they couldn't stand it anymore, forcing him to do everything imaginable. They took away his dignity that night, leaving him with nothing but more pain.
(End of Flashback)
When he woke up, he was in a hospital, it had been 3 days since the incident and the boys were later on caught. It was suppose to be good news but it didn't do much of anything, he was stripped of his dignity, the one thing he had left after Yugi's death. Jounouchi, Honda, Otogi, Shizuka, Ryou and even Seto and Mokuba were there to see their friend. Anzu was in America, unable to see her beloved friend. Even though Seto Kaiba had hated Yami, he knew that no one deserved what he had went through and joined the rest of the gang to help him. Yami had recovered pretty well physically for the exception of one only scar on his scar from being cut by a blade, mentally, he was still damaged, the only question that lingered in their minds now…could they ever heal those scars left over in his heart?
Three weeks later, he was released from the hospital, Jounouchi offered him to stay with him and Shizuka. He had no choice being that he had no where else to go. Shizuka always try to cheer him up but he was always locked in the spare room thinking to himself. Everyone knew it wasn't safe for him to be alone but at the same time didn't know what to say to him. He wouldn't listen to no one, always in solitude
Yami had become self destructive, taking several different drugs, becoming hooked. His eyes would always burn red from the new sensation that he would always try to hide from his friends. Jounouchi and Shizuka had walked in on him several times unknown to them, about to end his life. Every time he felt the will to end his life, he wouldn't go through with it because he would always see Yugi's face, smiling at him. It was then he felt he couldn't end his life, not yet at least. He kept this up for weeks until finally his actions would catch up to him…
(Flashback)
"Yami! Yami, it's Shizuka, I just want to talk to you for a second" she said knocking on the door, trying to get through to her friend.
She kept knocking on the door yet there was still no answer. She began to panic not hearing any sounds from the door. She turned the doorknob with her hand still shaking from fear. When she opened the door, she saw Yami's body with blood leaking from his arm from multiple cuts and his skin pale white.
"Oh my God!" she shouted and ran over to him, holding his body in her arms, blood covering her clothes. Tears started streaming down from her eyes. She checked his pulse which was very faint but still there. She noticed a couple of empty pill bottles near his body and knew why Yami never came out of his room. She quickly ran to the phone to call the ambulance and her brother who was at Mai's house. At this point, it was a matter of life and death…
Once everyone was at the hospital, the doctor's had come to them with Yami's diagnosis. In simple terms, Yami had become hooked on the painkillers that he had after his accident among others, he had become a cutter, and mentally depressed, with several attempts of suicide. It was instructed that he was to attend rehab for five months, a difficult journey for anyone in his state.
(End of Flashback)
Five months later, he was out, looking better than he did before but was he truly healed? That pain still lingered there even when he would smile. This pain would thrive inside him but for some reason wouldn't go away. One day when he was driving, Yami finally realized the truth – that he would suffer for the rest of his days so he wondered why should he prolong this torture and instead end now. It was that day, that he last saw the light of the sky. Yami had been in a car accident by a drunk driver. His wish was answered by not in the way he had even expected. Luckily he had survived but barely, the glass from the windows had injured his eyes so badly that it was predicted that may never see again. Right now, he's coma but worst, he was broken inside. Could someone that has endured so much ever be fixed?
Preview: It's been three months since Yami's accident and Anzu comes back to Domino from America but when she gets home, she hears the news of Yami. Everyone's feelings are revealed even Seto's. How does Anzu react to this sudden news?
