No I do not own the damn thing!
Dedications: Mellinde, BemaCasey, Dark-Lady-Devinity, S. Chensu and Luff, Jade Cade.
Chan: YAY! People actually like this story!
Yami: Why do they like it? It's gonna be horrible to me I can tell!
Chan: They like it because it is better than I thought it was.
Yugi: so the first chapter was in my P.O.V.?
Chan: Yep! A lot of this story is going to be in your P.O.V. but not all of it.
Yugi: Cool! I don't get the spotlight in your stories that much.
Chan: Well now is your big chance. But first I must answer these reviews.
Mellinde: lol, they are the best pair ever! Don't worry I will keep writing.
BemaCasey: YAY! I had you fooled! That's how it's meant to be. I hope I'm updating soon enough for you!
Dark-Lady-Devinity: when I wrote that, I had no idea Pegasus had brown eyes. That thought is just wrong! Eww (Shudders). I don't think there are any people with brown eyes… wait a sec, ANUBIS! From the movie! He has brown eyes! No it isn't Anubis; I just thought I would point that out.
S. Chensu and Luff: LOL no you haven't ruined the story! You are going to find out who it is in this chapter anyway. It was meant to sound like it's from Yami's P.O.V. so it comes as more of a surprise when it turns out to be Yugi. I can't imagine Yugi and Kura together either!
Unknown 2005: It is actually Yami who was crying, but I think you meant him when you said it. You will have to wait and see!
Jade Cade: lol. You have a lot of pictures! It really is quite easy to guess who it is if you follow the clues. 'What colour eye does Pegasus have?' LOL! He only has one eye! Well I know he only has one eye but it is still funny!
Sabey: lol. Thanks! I got you fooled too! Bwhahahahaa…… anyway moving on, I hope you enjoy the next chapter!
Chan: Thanks for reviewing guys! I didn't think anyone would like this story, but there you have it! By the way, Marik (hikari) and Malik (Yami) both go to Yugi's school in this.
Yami: Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Chan: Time to continue…… (Voice fades out)
Chapter two
Love it
Yugi's P.O.V.
Yami was already awake when I got up the next morning even though I gave him a sleeping tablet. He was sitting on the sofa watching T.V., hugging his knees that were drawn up to his chest. He didn't look very well at all. He had a blanket wrapped round him but he was still shivering. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were still crimson since he hadn't put those stupid contact lenses in yet, but they were dull and glazed over like they were not focusing on anything properly. He was getting black bags under his eyes, I could tell that a sleeping tablet hadn't really helped much last night and that he must have had a very fitful sleep interrupted by more than one nightmare.
I could also tell that his mind wasn't concentrating on anything around him. It was occupied with thoughts of only one person. The person who gave him the bruise that looks especially nasty now, the person who either totally ignored him or beat the living crap out of him. The person that Yami loved despite everything. The person named Bakura! Bakura, Bakura, Bakura! What the hell does Yami see in him?
That god damn tomb robber makes Yami feel worthless and Yami still loves him! There have been many times in the past when Yami has said he's over him, but the next day I still see him following Bakura, keeping out of site whenever he turns around, and doing everything in his power to get Bakura to love him back. Yami has done so much for Bakura! Apart from changing his physical appearance and personality, he keeps dropping subtle hints that never seem to work. He's saved Ryou from countless bullies usually getting beaten up more himself than Ryou and Bakura never even thanks him. He is constantly slipping notes into Bakura's locker, never signing his name obviously, I'm not sure how this is meant to get Bakura to notice him but he still does it. He always makes two copies of his homework and when he hears Bakura saying that he forgot to do his homework he would slip one of the copies into his bag for him. Occasionally he forgets to make a copy and gives up his only copy of his homework for Bakura even though he gets in trouble and ends up having to do the homework in after school detention.
Now he is getting physically ill from sitting up at night thinking of new ways to impress him, staving himself until he is so skinny you can see his ribs in case Bakura thinks he's fat and working out for hours on end in case Bakura thinks he's weak. He's going to end up killing himself soon and it scares me that I can't do anything to help him.
I was brought out of my thoughts by Yami's gasp as he suddenly saw me standing there.
"Yugi! How long have you been there?" he looked almost scared of me. Like I was going to hurt him. I decided to try one more thing to get him to stop idolising Bakura.
"Long enough to know that you are in no condition to go to school today!" I snapped. The look on his face was heart breaking.
"No!" he pleaded. "Yugi I need to go!" I had to shut my eyes to say the next part.
"You do not need to go anywhere if you are ill! You are going to stay here today!" Yami leapt up before I could even finish my sentence.
"I do need to go! It's the only way I can see him!"
"Yami! How can you love him? He doesn't love you back so let it go! Grow up!" I had just totally exploded. I quickly clamped both hands to my mouth as though I was hoping to cram the words back inside me. Tears were flowing down Yami's cheeks.
"Shut up shut up shut up!" he screamed. "You don't know the first thing about love so just shut up!" he then turned on his heel and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind him.
"Why did I have to say that?" I groaned collapsing onto the sofa.
"Yugi? What's the matter?" looking up, I saw grandpa coming out of his bedroom.
"I just shouted at Yami. I really told him off for loving Bakura and now he's gone and locked himself in the bathroom." Grandpa frowned slightly.
"You know you shouldn't be like that with him." he sighed.
"I know." I sighed. "I just don't want him to get hurt anymore."
Yami must have had a change of clothes in the bathroom because when he came out he was already changed and ready for school. He'd even put in those blue contacts like he said he was going to.
He looked a lot less like Yami now. His school uniform and blue eyes made him look almost like anyone else. But he was still wearing the millennium puzzle and his hair was still a spiky mixture of blonde, black and crimson. He'd had a shower so he didn't look worn out and ill anymore, but his white school shirt looked especially loose on him I knew the only reason he had got himself looking as good as he did was because of Bakura being at school. If he even was at school, hopefully not.
I knew I was being mean and that seeing Bakura made Yami happy and that I should be happy if he's happy, but that is just it! Seeing Bakura may make Yami feel a bit happier for a while, but it doesn't make him feel any better. He still cried every evening.
He left while I was finishing checking I had everything in my bag. He didn't even try to eat breakfast this morning and I know for a fact he only ever eats a few chips at lunch so he must be hungry. As I set out for school, I started up my morning routine.
"Please love him. Please love him." I whispered under my breath again and again. Every time I saw a crack in the pavement I jumped over it being careful not to touch them. I kicked every lamp post I walked past. Every single way I could think of to make a wish come true I did it. I was so busy concentrating on Bakura and Yami that I wasn't concentrating on anything else and kept bumping into people until I got to a totally deserted street.
I have never been to happy about walking down this street since it had a particularly dark alley halfway down it that is a favourite hang out of several bullies. I was nearly at the alley when I heard an agonized scream from inside it followed by the laughter of three different people. Keeping out of site behind a nearby parked car, I peered into the alley to see who was getting beat up today, and almost screamed myself.
Yami was lying on the ground blood pouring from several different wounds on his body and standing over him were Marik, Malik and most horribly of all Bakura. As I watched, Bakura started kicking Yami in the stomach whilst Malik and Marik bent down and punched his face and chest until there knuckles and the tip of Bakura's boot were coated in thick red blood. Yami was silent all the time this was happening. Bakura suddenly grabbed Yami's collar and dragged him to his feet.
"Start screaming already!" he yelled slamming my darkness body against the wall. Yami did his best to please Bakura and allowed a small scream to escape his throat. Bakura didn't look pleased at all. He started to smack Yami's head against the wall again and again.
"When I tell you to scream you scream properly!" he held Yami to the hard brick by his neck and then punched him in the stomach so hard that his fist could have come out the other side of Yami's body. That made Yami scream. It was a long, pain-filled, tortured cream but I noticed what Bakura Marik and Malik didn't. It was a distinct undertone of pleasure.
"That's more like it." Bakura muttered, flinging Yami to the ground before dealing him one last kick to the head and storming off followed by the two Marik's.
As soon as they went round the corner, I ran to my Yami's side.
"Yami!" I cried, checking his body over. "Look what they did to you!" I whispered. "are you alright?" then I looked into his now blue eyes, and knew he truth.
He'd loved every second of it.
