"Get up and get dressed pet, you have school in an hour. Can't have anyone wondering about you now can I." Hao said as he walked into Yukio's room. He pushed Yukio off his bed and he landed painfully at his controller's feet. "This time get home on time, and don't tell that boy a thing, you don't want him to get hurt because of you, do you?" Hao said with a fake sweetness that made Yukio sick. Hao fastened a black leather collar around Yukio's thin neck and stood up smiling. "Good, this is just a reminder that you belong to me, so that this time you'll remember to follow the rules." Yukio whimpered lightly at the leather strap on his neck. It didn't hurt or anything, he just hated collars. Hao always put him in a collar when he was displeased by Yukio's behavior and it usually led to many hard beatings. Hao smiled at Yukio's whimpers and left the room, Yukio was so adorable when he was scared
Yukio scrambled to his feet as soon as Hao was gone and pulled out a new set of clothes. The ones he had on last night were completely ruined; they were covered in bloodstains and holes all over. He chose a pair of white pants and a red button up shirt and a few gothic necklaces to make the collar ft in like a normal accessory. He looked into the large mirror Hao had put in his room, whimpering yet again at what he saw.
He look absolutely perfect, his long silver hair was in a ponytail without a strand out of place and his cherry red eyes sown with forlorn hope. All his skin was smooth and pale, except for the scars on both his wrists, always covered by his shirts. The only place his skin hadn't healed over completely over were the scars from his suicide attempts. He sighed to himself and walked out of the room.
"Here pet, I did your homework for you, if you don't have it done a lot your teachers will know something is going wrong here for you." Hao said handing Yukio his already packed backpack. He pulled Yukio's head up and kissed him deeply. "Let me be the first to tell you that you are beautiful today." Hao said after pulling away from Yukio's rosé petal lips. Yukio walked slowly away then, when he was out of sight of the house, he ran the rest of the way to school. He was there early, like he had been every day at his old school. He sat down at his desk and began reading his book You Don't Know Me by David Klass. He sighed as he flipped through the pages then yelped when a fist met his jaw. He tumbled out of his chair and landed painfully on the ground for the second time this day.
"What the hell? Ryou thought you were kidnapped and here you are reading!" Bakura yelled. His Hikari had been a total wreck over what happened to Yukio but here Yukio was showing no signs of anything. If he had been kidnapped he would have some kind of mark on his body, or at least he wouldn't look so perfect.
"He must have mistaken the situation I… I was just late and my… foster father came to get me." Yukio said nervously. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry Ryou, or anyone." Yukio said staggering to his feet. There was a small bloody area on the floor where Yukio's head had crashed but, to Bakura's surprise, there wasn't a mark anywhere on his face. He should have a bruise forming on his cheek where he punched him and his head had been cut. Bakura gripped Yukio's chin and looked over the beautiful boys face.
"Hey… why aren't you hurt?" Bakura asked.
"I…heal quickly?" Yukio said hoping Bakura would believe him.
"Healing fast wouldn't work that quickly." Bakura said.
"I don't know how, I just get better right after I get hurt." Yukio said brokenly. "I can't get hurt, and I can't die… if I could I'd already be out of your way and I would have caused Ryou or anyone any problems…"
"Yukio! Are you okay?" Ryou asked running into the room.
"I'm fine…" Yukio said quietly.
"I was so worried about you! That guy, how did you get away from him?" Ryou asked squeezing the platinum blond tightly.
"I… I didn't." Yukio confessed bowing his head. "I can't get away from him. He controls me…"
"Yuki, I'll save you." Ryou said determinedly. "I'm not going to let some bastard control you!"
"Too late…I'm too lost to be saved." Yukio said slumping to the ground, tears falling freely down his cheeks.
"Shut the hell up! You're going to let us help you and you're gonna stop spewin' out all that crap!" Bakura roared. He and Ryou both hugged Yukio tightly and Bakura allowed him to sob into his chest.
/ 'Kura, how are we going to help Yuki/ Ryou asked through their mind link.
/ I haven't thought that far ahead, first of all, get him to explain all this. / Bakura answered.
/ We'll ask later, he needs this right now, not to having to think about that guy. / Ryou thought back petting Yukio's silver hair.
/ Yeah, later… we'll take him home to night, if that guy shows up me and Marik will beat the crap outta him! He'll leave little Yukio alone for a long while when we're through. / Bakura thought smiling.
/ How can anyone hurt someone so cute/ Ryou asked.
/ Jealous of how he is cuter than them, just not liking how perfect he looks? I don't really know, I've asked myself the same things for why I hurt you. / Bakura thought. Yukio had finally regained control and just sat in the two boys arms. They looked at the clock and then each other all silently agreeing to get up and pretend it never happened for the moment.
School passed by quickly and nothing much happened after that little incident before homeroom. At the end Yukio was quick to pack up his stuff. He was going to run from the room to get home fast enough but Bakura grabbed his wrist.
"Where do you think you're going, little Yukio?" Bakura asked playfully.
"Home! I need to get home on time!" Yukio said trying his best to pull away, though it did nothing to Bakura's grip.
"No, you're going to be coming with me Ryou, Marik, and Malik. We need some answers so we can help you." Bakura said.
"I-I can't! I need to get home! He'll hurt me if I don't!" Yukio said still trying to get away.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you if that guy comes to get you." Bakura said. Yukio gave up his futile struggle and let himself be led back into the room by Bakura. His head was bowed and he looked like a prisoner being led to the gallows for his death.
"We're just waiting for Malik and Marik, they'll be here in a minute or two." Ryou said patting Yukio's shoulder. "We're going to help you Yukio, don't look so depressed."
"I'll try…" Yukio mumbled still looking down. He looked completely pathetic but both the other boys couldn't deny that he looked absolutely adorable at the same time. Marik got there a few moments before his Hikari and looked at Yukio hungrily.
"Hello cutie, nice to finally meet you." he said, his voice full of lust. Marik moved next to Yukio and started rubbing his butt but stopped abruptly when Malik whacked him on the head.
"Nothing funny Marik." Malik growled at his boyfriend.
"Let's just leave already." Bakura growled. Ryou tenderly took one of Yukio's hands and led him out of the room with the other three. Ryou was much gentler than Bakura had been when he had pulled Yukio into the room. Yukio walked slowly next to Ryou staring at the ground blankly. Ryou was greatly disturbed by the look but decided it would be better to talk later. When they got to the large house Ryou, Bakura, Marik, and Malik shared, Bakura and Marik, knowing quite a bit about magic, put up a spirit barrier to keep anyone and everyone from telling Yukio was in the house, hopefully.
"Yuki…what ever happened to get you into this?" Ryou asked. Yukio looked down for a few minutes then told the four everything he knew. He didn't know how much of it happened but told all he could. About the murder, his rape, how he couldn't die, how he was Hao's 'pet', and how he couldn't escape him… it was really hard for him to say, knowing that if his master found out his punishment would be severe.
"You don't know how any of that is done at all?" Malik asked.
"Nothing…" Yukio said sadly.
"Well, one thing's for sure, you're not a normal human." Bakura said from behind the three softer boys. "My guess is that you're either part angel or something like that, that would explain your healing abilities and why this guy wouldn't want to let you go. Angels are very rare and beautiful, you've got the looks of one."
"I'm going with Bakura on this one, that would fit in perfectly. Light hair is one thing found in angels and your eyes aren't exactly a normal color." Marik agreed.
"I know…" Yukio said bitterly staring at the ground. Ryou was trying his best to comfort Yukio who was beginning to fall apart at the seams. He was rubbing Yukio's back gently when he felt something underneath Yukio's shirt.
/ …Scars? I guess that Hao guy beats him more than he mentioned. / Ryou thought at first but then remembered something Yukio had said earlier. That nothing Hao had ever done ever left a mark anymore. / Then this happened…. / Ryou's eyes widened slightly and he pulled Yukio closer to him feeling so much sympathy for the boy. The scars had come from something before that… Hao hadn't been the only one to hurt him.
"Ryou…? I…can't breath…!" Yukio chocked out after a few moments. Ryou blushed mumbling an apology and let Yukio go.
"Heh, heh, and you're telling me to behave." Marik snickered from behind them. Bakura and Malik also laughed a little while Ryou just got redder.
"Not funny!" Ryou yelled. He heard a soft sound next to him and noticed Yukio laughing a little, and this one sounded real, not like they had during school. Ryou blinked a few minutes before Yukio latched onto his arm.
"I'm perfectly fine with that, but I do need to breathe." Yukio said rubbing his cheek against Ryou's arm in a catlike manner. "Thank you all very much for letting me stay here for awhile, though I am sorry for causing all this trouble for all of you…"
"Don't worry about it, it's not a problem." Malik said ruffling Yukio's soft silver hair. "Any friend of Ryou's is a friend of mine. And you NEED help and a place to stay."
"Yeah, it's nothing Yukio." Ryou said standing up. "I'm going to start dinner now."
"I'll help you." Yukio said following Ryou into the kitchen.
