Shattered

Hello guys! It's been a few days since I updated, I think, but anyways, here is the new chapter. I hope you like it the few people that are reading my story. Thanks by the way.

Chapter 3: Scars and Cuts

Yugi sat at a bench on the side of the road holding a medium sized bag with everything he would need. He waited for one of the members of the group to pick him up.

A black hyundai h1 (A/N: I don't know if that's a real car, I just looked it up) pulled up to the side and the window rolled down to reveal Joey in the drivers seat with Anzu in the passengers seat.

"Hey shorty!" She said cheerfully. Yugi trolled his eyes as he slid the door open and got in. He closed the door and sat next to Yami.

"Ready?" Yami asked giving Yugi a smile. Yugi nodded and Joey drove off to Kaiba's mansion.

Joey pulled into the garage where there were ten more cars parked there. The group then walked through the giant double front doors. Yugi's eyes widened as he saw the inside. The ceiling was high and there was so much space!

Yami laughed at Yugi's reaction as he pointed to where a pile of bags was sitting in the corner. Yugi nodded and dropped his bag off.

"Alright! Let's hit the pool!" Joey yelled with joy as he ran over to his back and pulled out a pair of dark green swim trunks.

"Agreed!" Anzu yelled as she ran over to her bag as well. Yugi stood there watching as everyone walked over to their bags-except for Yami since he lived there- and grab their swimsuits.

"Yugi? What's wrong? Don't you want to swim?" Anzu asked looking over her shoulder at Yugi. Yugi looked back at her with uncertainty.

"Don't worry Yugi, we won't drown you." Yami said giving Yugi a warm smile. Tristan went through Yugi's back until he pulled out Yugi's swimwear.

"Here Yugi!" Tristan said as he handed the pair of dark blue swim trunks to Yugi. Yugi took them and the group headed to the changing rooms near the pool.

Joey, Tristan, Anzu, and Yami all walked to the pool. Tristan stood at the edge wearing white and gray checkered trunks ready to jump in but Joey snuk up being him and pushed Tristan into the pool.

"Hey!" Tristan yelled glaring at Joey when he surfaced. He hit his fist in the air as he glared at Joey playfully. "You'll pay for that!"

Joey was too busy laughing and didn't notice Tristan swim over to the side of the pool and wrap his hand around Joey's ankle. He then pulled Joey into the pool laughing and the two started to have a water fight.

"Guys! Be careful!" Anzu yelled as she dodged the water that was splashed out of the pool. Anzu wore a light green one piece swim suit and her hair was down.

"Why? What's a pool without getting wet?" Joey asked as he gave an evil smirk at Anzu.

"Don't you dare..." Anzu said as her eyes widened when he realized what Joey was going to do. Before she could react Joey had splashed Anzu.

"Guys!" Yami scolded as he watched them with an amused look. He was wearing black swim trunks. "Has anyone seen Yugi anywhere?"

Anzu stopped as she was about to jump into the pool and ended up falling into the pool on top of Joey. The two surfaced and splashed each other a few times before looking around.

"Nope." She replied looking up at Yami.

"I'll go check on him." Yami said walking towards the changing room leaving the three in a every man for himself battle.

Yugi sat on the bathroom floor with his back against the door. He was wearing his dark blue swim trunks but he didn't want to show himself to the others. His bruises had healed as well as scratches and he

A knock at the door startled him as he looked up from his arms and up at the doorknob to make sure that it was locked. It was locked. Yugi let out a sigh of relief.

"Yugi? Is everything okay?" Yami asked with concern. Yugi froze. How could he tell Yami? How could he let Yami see what he did to himself? Yugi also didn't want to reply to what Yami had asked. He couldn't.

"Yugi, we don't care what you look like. Please, just open the door." Yami pleaded softly but Yugi didn't reply. He stared at the floor. He couldn't let Yami see.

"Yugi, please, for me?" Yami pleaded again but this time with a softer tone. Yugi's heart seemed to stop. What was this strange feeling he felt? Why did he feel like opening up to Yami?

Yugi stood up and unlocked the door. Yami opened it and looked at Yugi's arms. There were scars going up his arm and stopped a few inches below his elbow on both arms. He also had a lot of fresh ones on both arms.

"Yugi...did you...?" Yami's voice trailed off as he looked up at Yugi's face. His eyes were full of fear and pain. Yugi quickly looked down at the floor and only nodded.

"I'm...sorry..." Yugi muttered surprised that he had actually talked. He hadn't really said anything to anyone in a year or two. He would only talk to his parents when they were beating him or asking him

"You talked?" Yami asked amazed. "And why should you be sorry?"

Yugi still stared at the floor. "Because of how I look. I mean, I have these scars." Yugi replied sadly as his voice cracked a little.

"Oh Yugi," Yami whispered as he pulled Yugi into a hug. We don't care what you look like or if you do this to yourself. Just please, come to the pool?"

Yugi looked up at Yami and hesitated a few seconds before nodding. He let Yami lead him to the pool but stopped at the corner.

"Yami?" Anzu asked looking up when she heard footsteps.

"Hang on Anzu," Yami said as he turned back to Yugi who stood in the shadows. "Yugi, please? I'll prove that they won't care and if they do, I'll beat their asses."

Yugi let out a small laugh at this and then nodded. He then followed Yami trying to hide from the others but Yami would always move.

They stood in front of the pool and Tristan, Joey, and Anzu all looked up at Yugi and stared at the two.
