To Ama Zon: XD a lot of shit goes down in the future :P Lol, I'm actually planned ahead pretty far, so your suggestion will more than likely show up ^w^

To serenafanfic: They don't know what they are. They just know they have a strange 'birthmark' on their wrist. They are hiding them, they just don't have to try as hard as the Yamis because theirs is white, and they're pale. So it doesn't show as well as the Yamis black marks. Glad you're enjoying the story though ^w^

To Eschatology: Yeah, me too, but it makes the story more interesting :3 But, I'm glad you like it! ^w^

To v flower: I actually explain why Anzu hates Yami in the next chapter :3 So, chapter 7 will explain that ^w^

To Mirai Panda: Meh, he's alright ^w^

To Inori no Uta: XD actually she has a one-sided love for Yami. XD That's why she doesn't like him :P Glad you liked it though! ^w^

The Darkest Light

Chapter 6

Headed Home

Yugi, Ryou and their friends were walking out of the school talking among themselves. Yugi wasn't listening too well, he was too busy looking around, trying to spot Yami and Bakura in the crowd of students. He noticed them walking out of the school, talking away like they always were. "I'll be right back" Yugi said jogging over to Yami.

On his way over to Yami, Yugi accidentally ran into what felt like a brick wall. It definately hurt his nose from the impact. His eyes widened when he realized what, or rather who, it was. "S-Sorry Ushio."

"Oh shit" Joey said. He knew he and the others were to far away, and he was pretty sure Yami and Bakura hadn't seen him run into Ushio. "Run Yug'!"

Yugi heard Joey's calls, but he wasn't able to move. He was frozen in fear as Ushio stood over him, pulling his fist back. Yugi squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for the impact. The impact never came though, but he did hear skin hit skin. Everyone gasped, frozen in shock as they saw Yami catch Ushio's fist. "You won't touch him" Yami growled, squeezing Ushio's fist until he heard a stomach turning, cracking noise. His eyes glowed red, a golden eye appearing on his forehead, but no one was able to see that, due to his bangs being in his face.

Yugi felt the power crackling from Yami, it was like a miniature thunder storm swirling around the ground. And it frightened him. He wrapped his arms around Yami's waist, hoping to get the older boy's attention. "Yami stop!" Yugi yelled.

Yami stopped at the sound of Yugi's voice, blinking in shock before looking back up, the third eye having been gone after coming out of his rage. He let go of Ushio's hand watching as the bully fell to the ground, howling in pain. Yami shook his head to clear his thoughts, backing away and turning towards Yugi. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. What was that?"

"I-I... I-"

"I'll kill you Sennen!" Ushio growled, launching forward.

Yami's eyes widened, he quickly pushed Yugi to the ground, turning around just in time to catch a fist to the stomach. Ushio slammed Yami against the wall that lined the stairs, causing him to cough out spit as he hit the bricks behind him. He had the wind knocked out of him as he was slammed against the solid wall.

Ushio pulled his good fist back, ready to strike Yami again. His arm was held back though, looking over his shoulder he found a pair of very angry brown eyes, tinted noticeably with red. "Get your fucking hands off my brother" Bakura growled, launching his fist forward and knocking Ushio to the ground. "You touch my brother again, you die."

Yami hit the ground once Ushio's grip was released from him, coughing and wheezing as he attempted to breathe. Ushio got back to his feet, facing the two brothers that were on the ground, he froze when he caught sight of the brown/red eyes that were glaring daggers at him. "If you think I'm kidding, you're wrong" Bakura growled in warning.

Ushio's eyes narrowed when Yugi walked over to Yami, putting his hand on Yami's back to check on him. "You'll pay for this Motou" he growled.

"And if you touch him, I'll beat you to a pulp" Yami growled back.

Ushio's eyes widened as he turned and left. "That's right, run you bitch! If I catch you near my little brother again, I'll kill you!" Bakura growled, his features softening as he turned back to Yami, who was laying wheezing on the ground.

Bakura helped Yami up, walking with Yami's arm around his shoulders, their backpacks over his shoulder. Yugi and the others couldn't just watch though, it became apparent that it was all to heavy for Bakura to do it alone. As Bakura crouched down to steady himself, Yugi and the others walked up behind him. Joey took one of the bags, Tristan took the other, Yugi got under Yami's other arm, and Ryou just stood by smiling. "Thanks you guys" Bakura said as they walked towards his house.

"Mom! Dad!" Bakura yelled from the bottom of the porch steps. He couldn't help Yami any further, he'd already come too far.

"Bakura what are you- Yami!" Isis yelled as she ran down the steps. "What happened?" She asked, holding Yami's chin in her hands and tilted it back and forth.

"The school bully. He went after Yugi and Yami defended him. Then he got back up and went after Yami."

"Stay here, I'm going to get your father" she got up and ran back inside, running back out a few minutes later with Mahad on her heels.

Mahad carefully took Yami from Bakura, Yami's head lolled to the side as he was switched. Mahad helped Yami inside, sitting him on the black velvet couch for Isis to look at. Yami fell to the side, his eyes closing as he fell. "Is he okay?"

Isis looked Yami over, the children and Mahad watching her with impatient eyes. "He'll be okay. He's just out right now. He'll wake up in a bit." She turned to look at Mahad "I need the ice pack out of the freezer. Get a cool wet rag too."

"Right" Mahad said leaving the room to get what Isis asked for.

"You kids are more than welcome to stay if you'd like. He shouldn't be out for very long."

"Thanks. We'd like to make sure Yami is okay if that's alright with you" Yugi said smiling.

"That's fine. Thank you."

Fourty-five minutes passed before a groan sounded from Yami. The cool rag was on his bruised stomach, the ice pack on his forehead. He blinked his eyes open slowly, his vision finally cleared enough for him to see his mother, father, and brother standing over him. "Wh-What happened?"

"You passed out. How are you feeling?" Isis asked softly.

"I feel... Okay I guess." His eyes widened as he sat up "What about Yugi!?"

"I'm fine" Yugi giggled, a smile crossing his face from where he stood across the room.

Yami relaxed once again, leaning back against the couch. "Good" Yami sighed.

"Move that rag, I need to check your stomach" Isis said. Yami did as he was told, a round bruise was found right in the middle of Yami's stomach. "I don't think you need to go to the hospital just yet. But if you find the pain unbearable, you will be going to the hospital."

"Okay mom."

"Good. I'm glad you understand. Does it hurt anywhere?"

"Just my head."

Isis chuckled dryly "Well, that's to be expected with a concussion." She walked out of the room, returning with some ace bandages. "Now let's wrap up that head of yours."

"Again?" Yami groaned.

"You've got to learn to protect that noodle" Isis said, smiling a motherly smile.

"Mooomm."

Isis ignored her son's pouting as she wrapped the bandage under his bangs and around his combed back tri-colored hair. "There, now keep it safe" she said, giggling when Yami shot her a playful glare.

"Not funny mom" Yami said, a smile tugging on the corner of his lips.

"What happened to your leg?" Isis asked, crossing her arms.

"I got hurt sliding across the ground after saving Yugi from a fall. Yugi bandaged it up and made sure it was clean though."

Isis turned to smile at Yugi "Thank you" she said before sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose as she looked at Yami. "What am I going to do with you?"

"Keep me in a bubble?" He suggested with a smile, earning a chuckle from Mahad.

"I considered it when you were little. Now I'm considering wrapping you in bubble wrap" Isis chuckled, lifting her hand to gently cup Yami's chin, placing a soft kiss on his bandaged forehead before she walked out of the room.

He watched his mother walk out of the room before turning to the others "My mom can be a jerk sometimes" he chuckled.

"You okay Yami?" Bakura asked, sitting next to Yami on the couch.

"Yeah. I'm okay. Thanks 'Kura."

"I couldn't of done it alone" he said motioning towards the other four around the room.

"Thanks you guys" Yami said, smiling.

"Thank you" Yugi said sitting on the other side of Yami "You saved me again."

"You're kind of a magnet for trouble ya know?"

Yugi chuckled sheepishly "Yeah, I'll try not to be anymore trouble for ya."

Yami chuckled "Just try not to get beat up anymore."

"Not like I was trying" he shrugged.

"He was runnin' ta talk ta ya, Yam" Joey said.

"He just happened to bump into Ushio on his way towards you" Tristan said with a sweatdrop.

"He felt more like a brick wall" Yugi shuddered, rubbing his still sore nose. The others around him chuckled, causing him to join in on their laughter. They all sat there, enjoying each others company as they continued talking.

Me: And that's where I'm ending that chapter ^w^ Until next time ladies and gents :) *waves* Goodbye!
