Chapter 24: Fight With An Officer

Another two days passed but Yugi didn't show any sign of recovery. His wounds had healed a little but that was all. He was still in horrible pain from the poison. Dr. Frost still made Yugi move around. He hadn't gotten use to it though and it seemed that every time Dr. Frost had him sit up, the pain would just get more worse.

Yugi was currently laying in the bed with his face buried into Yami's chest with tears of pain in his eyes. Everything just hurt and he wanted it to stop. He wanted all of this to stop and have a normal life. He just wanted this to all be a bad dream and wake up to see normal parents who loved and cared for him. But that was all a joke.

Seto hadn't visited for the past two days since he was busy dealing with Yugi's parents. He had sent police over to Yugi's home since he figured out the address. He had to figure it out on his own since Yugi wouldn't tell him and Yugi wouldn't give permission to Yami so Yami stayed silent.

Yugi had freaked out when Seto had told him that he was going to get his parents arrested. Yugi didn't want his parents to get arrested because they would likely find a way to escape jail and come find him. They would likely kill Yugi and the others for learning about what they had done to their son.

Yami looked down when he felt Yugi tense as another wave of pain washed over him. Yami still felt helpless since he couldn't help Yugi. He could only be there and give him comfort and support.

The door suddenly burst open scaring Yugi half to death. It reminded him of his parents and he quickly wrapped his arms around Yami burying his face into Yami's chest even more, scared to look and see who had burst through the door.
Yami looked up and glared at Joey who stood there rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Sorry Yug', I was just excited." Joey apologized.

"Excited about what?" Yami asked rubbing Yugi's back. He felt Yugi relax a little and managed to get Yugi to look over at Joey.

"Well, Seto finally managed to have Yug's parents arrested. Dey have been taken into questioning." Joey replied. Fear flashed across Yugi's amethyst eyes that Yami loved so much.

"Don't worry hikari, I'm right here," Yami whispered softly and Yugi instantly hugged Yami. Yami hugged Yugi back giving him the support he needed.

"They will come and question you tomorrow Yug," Joey said apologetically. "And Yami, I don't 'tink ya can be in here with 'im."

"I don't care. I'm staying and that's that." Yami replied straightly.

"But Yami, that won't work." Joey protested.

"Just watch me."

Joey rolled his eyes and turned around. "Anyways, I gotta go an' tell da others."

Yami watched as Joey left, closing the door behind him. Yami looked down at Yugi and ran his fingers through Yugi's hair gaining Yugi's attention. Yugi looked up at Yami, fear in his eyes.

"Don't worry hikari," Yami whispered softly. "I'll be here with you, even if I have to fight them to stay." Yugi let out a small laugh and Yami kissed Yugi. Yugi kissed Yami back and they pulled apart two minutes later.

"I'm always going to be here for you." Yami said softly and Yugi smiled. Yami carefully rolled onto his back and Yugi lay his head on top of Yami's chest. He listened to Yami's strong heartbeat and he was slowly lulled into sleep, forgetting about all of his worries and even his pain.

Yami smiled and rubbed Yugi's back until eventually he, to, fell asleep. The two lay there sleeping. They both had peaceful looks on their faces. They were ready for this all to be over.

Yami woke up some time later. He looked out the window and saw the dull morning sky as the sun slowly rose. He had slept through the rest of the day. Yami looked over at Yugi's peaceful sleeping face and smiled. 'No matter what happens, hikari, I'm always going to be there for you.' He thought.

Yam let Yugi sleep for as long as he wanted. Yugi needed the sleep. He hadn't gotten much sleep for the past days due to multiple reasons. Stress, pain, nightmares, and worry had kept him awake and he had only managed to get about four hours of sleep the whole time he had been there.

Yugi woke up about two hours later. He looked better. He didn't look so exhausted anymore, but he still looked tired. He had a few traces of pain in his amethyst eyes but that was all.

"How are you feeling?" Yami asked giving Yugi a soft smile.

"Good," Yugi replied returning the smile.

"I'm glad to hear that. You needed the sleep anyways," Yami replied as he bumped foreheads with Yugi. The two rolled over onto their sides so they could face each other. They shared a few kisses before there was a knock at the door interrupting the two.

A woman and man both walked into the room. The woman had short red hair that went down to her shoulders. She wore the police outfit and she held a pen in one hand and a clipboard holding papers in the other. The man had slick glossy black hair and he also wore the police outfit. He held a tape recorder in one hand and that was all.

"Hell, we will be asking you questions today." The lady said kindly but Yugi didn't trust her. Yami looked over at Yugi with worry before sitting up. Yugi could sit up anytime he wanted now. It hurt a little, but he was able to sit up.

Yami helped Yugi sit up and the two officers pulled a chair up to the bed and sat down.

"Which one of you is Yugi Muto?" He asked looking at Yami and then Yugi and then back again.

"I am..." Yugi said quietly and the man looked over at Yami.

"I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid that you will have to leave this room for the questioning." The man said while the lady got everything together.

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I said no." Yami replied. The man narrowed his eyes and looked a little irritated.

"Sir, if you don't cooperate I'm going to have to take you out of this room forcefully."

"Over my dead body." Yami said narrowing his eyes at the older man. "If you want to try and force me out of this room go ahead and try. But I'm not leaving my hikari's side."

"Why you little..." The man muttered as he glared at Yami. The two challenged each other for a good solid five minutes. Yami didn't even blink which made the other man feel uneasy.

"Alright that's it. I've had enough of this." The man snarled as he stood up. He walked over to the side of the bed where Yami was and stood there. "Last chance." But Yami shook his head and glared up at the man, his muscles tensing up preparing for a fight. "You asked for it."

The man reached out to grab Yami but Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's waist and buried his face into Yami's chest."No! I won't let you!" Yugi cried. Yami instantly relaxed when Yugi hugged him and Yami hugged Yugi back. "I won't let you take him away..."

"Don't worry hikari, I'm not going anywhere." Yami whispered. The man took this advantage and pried Yugi away from Yami. He then grabbed Yami and pulled him out of the bed.

Yami struggled to escape the mans grasp and halfway to the door he managed to elbow the man in the stomach and get free. He quickly whipped around and glared at the man. He glanced over at Yugi and his eyes burned with anger. Tears were streaming down Yugi's face.

"You bastard..." Yami said darkly as his hair shadowed his face. "You made him cry..." Yami looked up at the man. His crimson eyes were blazing with anger so fierce it would have made Seto scared.

Yami punched the man in the face and he stumbled back a few steps before whipping his mouth and glared at Yami. He ran at Yami and threw a punch but Yami quickly ducked down and punched the man in the gut. Yami then shot up and punched him in the jaw.

"That's enough you two!" The other officer yelled but the two ignored her. The man ignored her because he was too pissed off. Yami ignored her because he was intent on getting revenge for Yugi.

Yami had been winning the fight until the man reached down to his belt. He glared at Yami and pulled the handgun from it's holster and aimed it at Yami.
