SIX
Fun, games, milkshakes, and blood
School was finally over for the weekend. Yugi got out of class as fast as he could to go meet Jonouchi at his locker. They had been walking home together for the past week. Today they were supposed to go to the arcade, that is if Yugi could some how sneak out after Riko left.
Yugi walked home with Jonouchi until they had to part ways. Then Yugi headed to his house hoping that Riko was in a good mood. This rarely ever happened so Yugi didn't count on it. He stepped in the door and quickly went to his room. He didn't see Riko but he knew he was there. Relieved that he got to his room with out a confrontation he pulled out his puzzle then put his book bag away He sat down on his bed to work on it. It was well over half way down and he was happy knowing he would finish it very soon.
It was almost five o'clock. Yugi was getting nervous that maybe Riko wouldn't leave. Yugi tried not to worry about it and he continued working on the puzzle. Soon he heard some movement down stairs then he went to peek out the door. He seen the front door slam then he heard a car pull out and drive away. This would be his chance. He shakily stepped out of his room then headed down the steps. The farther he got from his room the harder it seemed for him to breathe and walk normally. He knew Riko was gone, and he knew he was safe at the moment, but his body shook knowing that this would be considered suicide if Riko would have still been there. Yugi made it to the bottom of the steps then left the house.
***
Yugi looked around amongst the many kids running around the arcade. He wandered in amazed at all the neat looking games. He didn't have any money what so ever but he was happy to watch other kids play them. It wasn't long before he heard his name being called.
"Yugi! Hey! Didn't think you were going to make it!" Jonouchi said running over to greet him.
"Hello Jonouch-kun." Yugi said smiling.
"Common there is this really cool game I want you to play with me!" Jonouchi said
"But I don't have any money." Yugi said sadly.
"That's okay, I'll take care of it." Jonouchi said pulling Yugi over to the game. Yugi went on for a while playing games with his friend. After a while Honda showed up and the three of them hung out.
***
"Great game!" Yugi said winning his fifth straight game over Jonouchi.
"Man Jou, he really killed you that time." Honda said watching them
"Man! Yugi, are you absolutely SURE you haven't ever played Tekken?" Jonouchi said
"Yes." Yugi said.
"I didn't even get one hit on you!" Jonouchi said. Yugi only shrugged.
"I'm hungry lets go get a burger." Honda said
"Sounds good to me." Jonouchi said. Yugi looked over at the clock. It was after seven.
"I should be getting home." Yugi said.
"Aw common, I'll buy you a milk shake, lets go!" Jonouchi said tugging on Yugi's arm.
"Oh alright." Yugi said. The three of them walked across the street where there was a burger place namely 'Burger World'.
***
Yugi happily slugged down his shake after eating a cheese burger in record time. Jonouchi and Honda were still teasing him about how fast he ate. It was almost as if every bite would be the last bite he would get. Yugi smiled slurping up the chocolate banana with whip cream milk shake. He finished shortly then sat back in the booth.
"Thank you Jonouch-kun!" Yugi said. Jonouchi only waved his hand signaling that it wasn't a problem since his mouth was full.
"I stole the money out of my pop's wallet. He'll never miss it, besides he said if I needed money that he would lend me some." Jonouchi said after finishing his food.
"Wouldn't he get mad if he found out you didn't ask for it?" Yugi said.
"I don't know. Do you think your pops would get mad?" Jonouchi said. Yugi quieted.
"I don't know my real dad." Yugi said.
"Oh..I'm sorry." Jonouchi said
"But if I ever tried that with my step dad.." Yugi stopped knowing what would happen. He shivered. "...he would be very mad." Yugi said after a long pause. Mad was an understatement. Enraged would be more like it..or murderous. Yugi looked out the window and was quiet for a long time. He saw that it was dark now, then he felt the sudden feeling that he needed to go home NOW. Yugi got up from his seat.
"I have to be going now." He said holding back his fear. Yugi didn't really give them much time to say anything but 'See ya.' As he walked off. He walked down the street as fast as he could. For some reason he felt as if he was in trouble.
This was also a huge understatement.
***
Yugi got his house in sight and froze. There was a car in the drive way. Riko's car. Be begun to shake knowing that he was in trouble. He walked slower now not wanted to go home. He wanted to turn and run. Run back to the burger place...back to school...away for his house...ANYWHERE. He knew that if he did he would put his mom in danger. He walked on. Finally he made it to the door. He opened the door slowly then stepped inside. He was using all his courage to hold back the tears that insisted on forming in his eyes.
He didn't see Riko and he was hoping with all him might that maybe Riko had just come home and went right to his room not caring if Yugi was home or not. He had no such luck. He had just made it to the second step when he heard a murderous voice from behind him.
"Where have you been?" Riko said quietly.
The voice was like nothing Yugi had heard come from Riko before. It was brutal but soft. Yugi's whole body shook not wanting to be here. He wanted to be ANYWHERE but here. Tears slid down his eyes. Yugi didn't answer.
"Well?" Riko said. He heard Riko get up from the couch.
"I..I..I.." Yugi couldn't speak. His voice refused to sound out.
"Where..the fuck..have you been!?" Each word slipped out sounding more painful. Yugi wouldn't turn to look at him.
"I w-w-was.." Yugi said. He was so scared he felt dizzy, then sick. He could taste sour burger and he felt the shake he had so happily eaten curdle in his stomach.
"I'm going to kill you." Riko said cruelly yet ever so sweetly. He said it as if it would be...fun.
Yugi's eye went wide. On sudden impulse he ran. He got to the steps then didn't know where to go. He shot to his room then slammed the door behind him and tried to hold the door shut while he locked it. Riko had slammed his body into the door sending Yugi flying backwards. The force was so great the door knob ripped right off the door. It swung open to reveal Riko standing in the door way with clenched fists. The look on Yugi's face was pure terror. He scooted backwards bumping into the bed. He got up and slid away from then bed then he was up against the desk. Riko stepped forward.
He suddenly grabbed for Yugi's arm but Yugi moved causing Riko to only grab his sleeve. Yugi pulled away still letting his shirt slip off. He ran for the door in another effort to get away. He only made it to the steps.
Riko had dived to the floor gripping Yugi's ankle causing him to fall forwards and nearly down the steps. Riko stood and drug him to the middle of the hall. This is where Yugi thought would be that last place he would be alive. Yugi waited covering his face with his arms not wanting to see Riko. He was more afraid to see the look on Riko's face then to get hit, no matter how hard, or with what. Riko grabbed him by his hair, then pulled him to a semi standing position. This is when he felt the fists few blows. Yugi cried out in pain. Riko still had a hold of his hair. Yugi desperately clung to Riko's wrists trying to get loose.
Riko finally dropped him. Yugi fell to the floor. He again tried to scoot away but Riko stopped him by grabbing him and holding him to the ground. He felt Riko sit on his pelvis. Now there was no way to get away.
"Where were you?" Riko said. Yugi shook frantically. He was breathing in deep gasps almost hyperventilating. He still wouldn't open his eyes.
"WHERE WERE YOU!?!?!" Riko yelled. The voice shook Yugi more. He cried. He cried hard. Mostly because he just wanted Riko to hurry up and kill him. It would be better that way. At least he wouldn't have to be scared any more.
"ANSWER ME DAMNIT!!!" Riko yelled again sending tremors through Yugi's small body.
"I-I-I.." Yugi paused for a deep breath as he choked on his tears. "..w-w- we-nt.." Another breath and a sob. "..t-t-to th-th-the.." Another gasp for air and a whimper "..a-ar-ar-ca-ca-de." Yugi sobbed.
He was crying so hard he was choking on each breath. Suddenly he saw stars. Riko had let out an on slot of massive punches to Yugi's face. He used both fists and it was nearly enough to break Yugi's neck at the force of each impact. Blood gushed from Yugi's nose then mouth. Then Yugi felt Riko get off of him. He heard Riko storm off. Yugi tried to open his eyes but it seemed they wouldn't open. Then he realized they were open he just couldn't see. His eye sight came back to him just before Riko returned with the leg of a chair. Yugi closed his eyes. This would all be over shortly. He only felt the first dozen blows, then he drifted off into a bloody sleep.
***
Yugi's eye lids slit open. He could barely see. It was dark. He could hear someone talking to him though it sounded very far away. He shut his eyes and slid them open again trying to focus on the figure in front of him. Soon the face slid into some kind of focus. He was too weak to move. He couldn't very much as move his head let alone anything else except his eyes.
"Yugi..!" His mother cried. He had come home to find him on the floor in a small pool of blood. She lifted him off the ground and cradled him a little not wanting to hurt his battered body.
"Oka.." The words left him. He couldn't move his jaw. It hung open a bit.
"Shh. Just lay still." She lifted him off the ground then took him in his room. After laying him down she sat next to him. Soon his body began to throb violently. Tears made there way to his eyes. He was too weak to stop them so they pored out uncontrollably, the bad thing was with every sob came pain.
"Yugi-chan, onegai! Don't cry! You're hurting your self!" She said bring more tears to her eyes.
"I cannn helll iiuh." Yugi sobbed. It was funny the way it came out since he couldn't move his jaw at all and he couldn't breath out of his nose on top of that. He cried more.
"Shhh...onegai Yugi...onegei...Shh." She said dusting his hair from his eyes. She began to sing to him.
"She's got eyes of the bluest skies and if they thought of rain I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain.
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide and pray from the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by..
whoa oh oh oh sweet child of mine.. whoa oh whoa oh sweet love of mine.. where do we go now, where do we go, where do we go now, where do we go now?,.. sweet child sweet child of mine.."
She sang softly. Yugi had fallen asleep by then.
***
"I didn't ask for this!" Ryou said nearly in tears.
"Neither did I!" His father shouted.
"Please, let Ryou alone!" His mother pleaded. Ryou didn't care at least he was talking (rather yelling) to him.
"Ryou huh? Are you sure this isn't Bakura we are talking to!?" His father yelled.
Ryou looked down at the floor. Then he clutched onto his ring. His father looked down at the ring. He suddenly wished he never had bought it. It was silly to think that an inanimate object could be the cause of his son's sudden insanity but then again the day he got it was when this whole thing started. He sneered then grabbed onto the leather strap yanking it harshly snapping the rope like nothing. Ryou's eyes went wide at the sudden jerk to his neck.
"What are you doing?!" He said franticly.
His father took off out the door then he ran a block before stopping. Ryou had taken off after him. He caught up just in time to see his father toss the ring into the river. Ryou stopped and looked on as the ring was gone from sight. His father only turned to leave. Ryou dropped to his knees. It was like a sign that his father held up that said he no longer cared for him anymore.
