Chapter 20
Bleeding Wings
Amethyst eyes slowly opened. A blinding white light forced him to shut them quickly. All of the boy's thoughts were jumbled. Anger and fear blurred into one. He sat up slightly and looked around the room.
It had been two weeks and everything for the court was starting to get into order.
'Where am I?' Yugi thought as he drifted his gaze to his hands. That's when he noticed the cast. 'Where is Yami and Alas?' Yugi sighed as he touched the hard, light blue, cast.
"Good morning Yugi." A man said standing in the door way. Yugi looked cautious at the man. "It's ok I'm not going to hurt you. I came to see how you are doing." The man said still in the door way.
"I want Yami." Yugi said. The doctor looked sadly at the boy.
"I'm sorry but you can't see him." Yugi looked confused.
"Why?" The man slowly walked over.
"He's in trouble."
"What did he do?" Yugi asked still confused. The man sat on the furthest end of the young boy's bed.
"Tell me. Did he ever hurt you?" The 5 year old watched the man.
"They fought but he said he was sorry."
"Who did he fight with?"
"Alas."
"Did he ever hurt you?" Yugi shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't think so." The man smiled and nodded.
"I'm sure that everything will be cleared up quickly. You have nothing to be worried about." Yugi nodded slightly.
"I can't see him?" The man shook his head. "He didn't hurt me. He loves me and I love him." The man nodded.
"I'm sure you do but it's going to take more that love to bring you back to him." Yugi looked confused. "I want you to talk to some one. We are going to another hospital. She just wants to ask you a couple of questions. Is that ok?" Yugi nodded slightly. "Ok let me help you up." The doctor helped the boy up and checked him over. "I don't want you to make any sudden movements or you could hurt your self. Ok?" Yugi nodded. "We'll make and appointment later for your cast." The man said leading Yugi outside. A cop car waited for them. The cop smiled and helped Yugi into the front seat. The man knew Yami and Alas but never had the chance to met little Yugi.
"You're going to be just fine." The man said while helping the boy buckled his seat belt. The officer started the car and pulled out.
"Mister?" The man chuckled.
"Call me Seto."
"Um...Seto...do you know what Yami did?" The man looked sadly at Yugi.
"They are accusing him of something he didn't do."
"Then why can't I see him?"
"They don't want you to get hurt." Yugi sighed.
"He doesn't hurt me." A tear fell down his face. "Everyone says he hurt me. He didn't. They won't listen to me." Seto smiled sadly.
"It's ok I'm sure everything will turn out ok." Yugi nodded.
"Everything is happening too fast!" Yami said rushing to the door.
"Well just be glad Yugi finally woke up. Now hurry up!" Alas shouted.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Yami said running into the car and starting it up. Alas smiled. (That's all happening when Yugi went with Seto. The doctor called them. Hope I'm not confusing anyone. They are going to watch sessions with Yugi but can never talk to him...ok? Good. )
Yugi and Seto pulled up into the parking lot, as did Yami and Alas. Yugi didn't see them as Seto led him inside. However Yami and Alas did all they had to repress the feeling of wanting to rush over and hug him. They watched Seto open the door and let Yugi inside.
Yugi was led into a medium sized room with a bunch of toys. Yugi looked around confused. Yami and Alas stood behind a two way mirror with Kiba and a couple of other doctors.
Yugi looked at the toys with disgust. He didn't want to play he just wanted to go home. He sat on the ground refusing to touch any thing. The doctor's watched shocked. A 5 year old not wanting to play with toys. Yami also watched worried. What was wrong with Yugi? He wanted to go in and talk to the boy but he couldn't. Then a lady entered the room after 10 minuets of waiting to see if he would do anything.
"Hello there. My name is Ms. Valentine ( THANX Hikari Skysong, mobileholmes, Moon'sHope, Sami Ryou's Hikari, Living Arrow, Seers-of-a-lost-paradise, Masami Mistress Of Fire- for giving me her last name)but you can call me Mai." Yugi watched her. "You must be Yugi." Yugi didn't move or even look up.
"Why don't you play with the toys?"
"I want Yami and Alas." He said looking up.
"I'm sorry but you can't see them. Why don't you come show me how this works?" Yugi looked at the toy in her hand.
"I don't want to play with some stupid toys! I hate you! "He chucked a toy at her."I want you to leave!" He said charging the unprepared lady. "Die!" He socked her with his cast. She screamed and fell backwards. She had a busted lip and a bruise on her cheek from the toy. Yugi breathed deeply and glared at her. "Get. Out." He growled. (Oo Yugi growling...who would have known?)
Yami gasped. He had never seen Yugi so mad. Alas looked worried at Yugi.
"Yami he's hurting." Alas said holding Yami's hand.
"Are you going to help her?" The doctor's shook their heads.
"No she is a professional. She deals with this every day."
"My Yugi you seem really mad. Why are you mad?" Yugi glared at her.
"Get the FUCK out of here!" Yugi said throwing another toy. "You stupid bitch! You stupid worthless whore!"
Yami gasped once again. Where had he heard those words? Were they from the man that...no.
"Yugi calm down. We only want to help."
"Then bring Yami and Alas back! I want to go home!" Yugi shouted.
Yugi took a doll and hit the wall with it. The lady had left after Yugi had given her a black eye. He tore up the doll in his hands. He then turned his sights on a teddy bear. Growling he ran over to it and started to punch it.
"Damn it!" Yugi said as he ripped it apart. Looking at all the other toys he smiled.
"Why is he doing this?" Alas asked. Yami held Alas and shrugged.
"That man. He hurt him so much...and his parents."
Yugi punched the wall with his good fist. Blood smeared the wall.
"Nooo! I won't do it! I'll die! You bastard! Dieee! I'll kill you! You fucking bastard just die!" The doctor's were about to send someone in there when he started to hurt himself but Yugi suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at a heavy toy truck. He walked over to it and picked it up. He then looked at the mirror. He smirked and threw the toy with all his might. The mirror shattered. But there was plexy glass behind the mirror so the other side did not shatter. Growling he ran over to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. He started to kick the door. "Let me out! I'll kill you!" The doctor sent a guard to the door.
The opened it and Yugi raced out. The guard grabbed the angry child and held him still. "Let goo! I'll kill you!" Yugi's hand slipped in his pocket and pulled out a piece of glass, from the mirror. He scratched the guard who let him go. Yugi growled and advanced the man on the ground. "You stupid bastard. Get on the floor. You like it you stupid whore. I'll kill you!" Yugi shouted and placed the mirror in his pocket. He kicked the man and jumped over him. Running towards the door the doctors sent another guard.
"Yugi stay inside!" One of the guards yelled. Yugi smirked and pushed open the door. Seto ran after him while Alas and Yami were restrained. Yugi ran right to the busy highway.
"Yugi! Don't run towards the street!" Yami and Alas ran towards the window and watched in horror as Yugi ran towards the fast cars on the highway.
Seto ran faster slightly gaining on the small boy. The boy was not in his right mind. "Yugi stop! Please Yami and Alas love you!"
"Fuck you!" Yugi shouted while he pushed himself to run faster. When he reached the highway he stopped on one side where a huge truck was speeding down. There was no chance for the truck to stop.
"No!"
"Yugi!"
Seto ran and pushed himself harder. He had to save him. Just a little further. Seto held out his arms and grasped Yugi and pushed him out of the way. They tumbled down a hill. Seto held Yugi close preventing him from getting hurt any further. Once they stopped Yugi started to struggle against Seto.
"Let go." He growled.
"Yugi shh...clam down." Yugi got free of Kiba and stood above him.
"Why can't you just let me die!" Yugi shouted. "I can't do this!" Yugi pulled out the mirror.
"Everything will work out Yugi please. Listen to us. You will get to see Yami and Alas soon."
"It's never that simple. There will always be a catch. I just want to go home...but you won't listen to me..."
"Yugi listen to me. You will get to see them in time."
"You know what that man did?" Yugi asked fingering the sharp end of the mirror. Blood trickled down his finger.
"That man that kidnapped you?" Yugi nodded. "No what happened?"
"He killed himself. Right in front of me." Yugi looked into Seto's deep blue eyes. "He said I should do the same." Seto's eyes widened.
"No listen Yugi. There are many people that love you. We never want you to die."
"Everyone always wants me to listen to them...Why won't they listen to me!" Yugi held the mirror shard over his throat. Seto saw something in Yugi's eyes. This boy's tired eyes. Eyes of a wise man. Eyes that Seto had as a child because of his foster-father. His brother and friends had changed him. Seto now finally felt free and happy then this child was going through the exact same thing.
"Yugi I'm sorry this is happening. I know it hurts. Please hand me the glass." Yugi shook his head and backed up.
"I tired! I really did!"
"Shhh...I know you did your best-"
"My best isn't good enough!" Yugi interrupted him.
"What's the one thing you want most?" Yugi looked startled at the question. Seto guessed that Yugi wanted the same thing he wanted as a child.
"I want a family. I want to go home." Seto nodded.
"If you do this you will never get it."
Yugi looked at the mirror. He then drifted his gaze toward Seto.
"How long?" Seto smiled.
"I won't lie. I don't know but what do you saw if I can see if you can come live with me until this is all sorted out?" Yugi brought his shaky hand down.
"Really?" Kiba nodded.
"I can see." Seto held out his hand. "Let me have the mirror." Yugi looked down at the mirror then back up at Seto. "I have a younger brother. He's about 12 right now. I'm sure you two could become good friends. He loves to play video games and I'm sure he could show you how to play." Yugi's hand released the mirror and it fell to the ground. Seto smiled when Yugi raised his arms wanting to be picked up. Seto reached down and lifted the small boy. He held the child close. "Everything will be ok. You'll see." Yugi sighed and nodded slowly. Seto walked up the hill and smiled when he saw the gang waiting. Yami and Alas were panicking and Alas was crying. Kiba carried Yugi to his car and placed him inside. "Ok I'm going to talk to the other cops then we are going to go ok?" Yugi nodded. Seto smiled and closed the door. He walked over to the gang.
"How is he!" Alas screamed. Seto smiled.
"He's ok. I want to take him to my place until this is all sorted. I don't want him to go to a foster home." Yami smiled.
"Can you take him?" Seto smiled and nodded. Yami sighed. He felt way better that Seto would watch over Yugi instead of some stranger.
"I still have lots of money from before my game inventions were stopped. I have enough to support him and all of us." Yami and Alas nodded.
"Thank you so much Seto."
"Hey no need. I'm just helping out a friend, right?" Yami smiled and nodded.
"Will you talk to him to? You been through some of the things...I was hoping you could help him face some things and cope." Seto nodded.
"I planned on doing that anyway. He's going through the same thing I did." Yami smiled and nodded.
"Thank you so much my friend." Yami held out his hand. Seto smiled and shook it. Alas gave Seto a hug and a kiss on the cheek and waved good bye.
"Thank you Seto!" She shouted as Seto got into the car.
"Are you sure this is wise?" The doctor said coming out of the building. "It's obvious he might need professional help."
"I'm sure if he does Seto will catch it and do what's best for him." Yami said. Alas nodded.
"Ok but I'd still like to see him a couple more times to get him ready for the trial." Yami nodded. "Oh and by the way my name is Duke." Yami turned around and smiled.
"Hello Duke. This is Alas and I'm Yami." Duke smiled as they shook hands. "I'm sorry about Ms. Valentine." Duke chuckled.
"Mai. Oh she's fine. She's a tough one."
"Yes I am and your boy sure did put up a good fight. I might have to wear a bullet proof vest next time." Mai said coming out. The gang laughed and they resumed talking about things for the trial.
"It's going to be ok Yugi." Yugi nodded and watched the buildings flew by. "Are you still angry?" Yugi looked over at the brown haired man. The boy shook his head. "I know you can talk." Yugi smiled slightly.
"I want this over." Yugi said softly. Kiba nodded.
"I'm sure you do. So what will you do first?" Yugi resumed looking out the window.
"I want to go fishing with my neighbor." Yugi said smiling. Seto smiled as he watched the road.
"That sounds nice. Did you catch any?" Yugi smiled and nodded.
"Yeah and I put it back 'cause I didn't want it to die."
"That was very kind of you. You a good boy aren't you?" Yugi shrugged. Seto smiled and pulled up into the drive way. "Well here we are." Seto got out and opened the door for Yugi. Yugi gasped at his huge house. Kiba grinned and took Yugi's small hand and led him to the door. "Mokuba! I'm home!" A young boy with black hair ran down stairs.
"Big brother you're home!" Mokuba then saw Yugi. "Who's this?" Seto smiled and kneeled next to Yugi. "Come here Moki." Mokuba smiled and walked over. "This is Yugi. He will be staying with us for a while. Yugi this is my brother Mokuba but I'm sure he won't mind you calling him Moki." Mokuba shook his head.
"You can call me Moki." Yugi nodded. "Do you like to play games Yugi?" Yugi shifted uncomfortablely.
"I've never played video games before." Yugi said quietly. Mokuba smiled.
"Well then I guess I've have to show you huh?" Yugi smiled slightly and nodded. "Here lets go to my room and I'll show you." Yugi took Mokuba's hand and followed him. Seto smiled and watched as the two boys made there way upstairs.
"I still can't believe Yugi is being punished for something I didn't even do." Yami said over the phone with Kiba.
"I know it's sad."
"He is doing well over there?" Kiba smiled as he looked into the front living room. Mokuba was showing Yugi how to play his newest game.
"He's doing great."
"Hey I was wondering is Joey's little sister could come over some time. They are good friends."
"Sure when?"
"I don't know. When is it good for you?"
"When ever." Mumbling was heard as if Yami was talking to some one else.
"How about later today?"
"Sounds good. Mokuba knows her so I'm sure this will help Yugi be a little more open. It's good that he is gaining more friends."
"Yeah. I sure miss him."
"He misses you a lot to."
"It's funny. I never thought it would hurt so much to be away from him. I know he's hurting. I know what that man did and I don't think he has talked about it. He needs to get it out. I never knew he could have such a violent attack as he just did."
"The human mind is a mysterious thing." Yami chuckled.
"Yeah will I got to go. Tell Yugi that me and Alas love him and miss him."
"Alas and I!" A voice shouted in the background. Yami chuckled, as did Seto.
"Will do. So how about around 6 o'clock?"
"Sounds good. Bye and thanks again Seto."
"No problem. Bye." They hung up. Seto smiled and walked into the living room.
"Hey big brother! Want to play?"
"Not right now. Serenity is coming over later today ok?" Mokuba smiled and nodded.
"Serenity. Uncle Joey's sister?" Seto chuckled and nodded. Yugi smiled and resumed his game.
"Yugi is getting good at this game." Mokuba said. Seto smiled as he watched the boys play.
Ding! Dong!
"I'll get it!" Mokuba said getting up and running toward the door. "Hi Serenity!"
"Hi Moki! Where's Yugi?"
"He's in the other room."
"Ok!" Mokuba and Serenity raced into the other room while Seto went to the door.
"I guess she's excited to see Yug." Joey said.
"Guess so."
"Can I speak to him?" Seto knew he wasn't supposed to but he let Joey in. "I know I'm not allowed to but I got ta give Yug somin' from Yami." Seto nodded and led them to the living room. Now all three kids were playing games.
"Uncle Joey!" Yugi shouted running towards Joey. Joey smiled and bent down and opened his arms.
"How are ya Yug?" He asked as he hugged the small boy close.
"Good!" Joey chuckled.
"Good to hear." Joey pulled something out of his pocket. It was Yugi's favorite Dark Magician Plushy. Yugi smiled and hugged it when Joey handed it to him. "Yami wanted me ta give ya this."
"Thanks Uncle Joey." Yugi said smiling. Joey gave one last hug. Yugi wanted to stay in his protective loving hug but they soon separated.
"Be good for Seto." Yugi nodded looking sadly at Joey. Joey sighed and stood up.
"Tell Yami and Alas I love them for me." Joey nodded and smiled.
"They miss ya so much Yug. They love ya more that you'll ever know. Be strong for them." Yugi nodded and watched as Joey left. He held the plushy close.
