For future reference since I forgot to say earlier

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or anything else I use in this story!

After a boring week in the hospital Yugi was allowed to go back to school. Apparently what had been causing Yugi's stomach pain was that some of the stomach acid had dissolved some of his stomach lining. The doctor had given him some type of medicine that was supposed to numb the pain whenever he took it. He didn't take it often though because it tasted worse than cough medicine and smelled like lice shampoo .Also it made him sleepy. He had become accustomed to the pain anyway and didn't take it unless it was absolutely necessary. After his third day back at school was one of those times.

School had just let out and everyone was going home, everyone except Yugi who had to deal with Edward and Alfred, the schools exchange students. They were the biggest bullies and the biggest students in school. Yugi had to work at the shop today which is why he had run into them, they were waiting for him at the shortcut he usually used to avoid them. They had been transferred from England about three months ago and had been picking on him since. They were the kind of bullies that beat you up harder for how many days you missed. Yugi had missed seven and was likely to have a few cracked bones after this was over. "Well,well,well. What do we have here?" Edward asked aloud, cracking his knuckles "I think its our friend, Yugi" Alfred replied lifting Yugi by the shirt. "Hey bro," he asked "How long has Yugi been gone?" Edward held his chin in 'deep thought' and looked up with a sick grin that reminded Yugi of his mother. "Seven days if I remember correctly." He replied, pleasure in his voice. Alfred looked back at Yugi, he had a sick twisted smile on his face as he dropped Yugi. 'Are they letting me go?' he asked himself. He got his answer when he hit the ground and a foot nailed him in the stomach.

Marik, the third and final member of Yami's organization had been given the task of watching Yugi at school. The changed shifts every now and then but it was usually the same schedule. Bakura watched him when he went to school, Marik,well himself watched Yugi until he left the school grounds then Yami and Bakura joined him as the watched the boy go home. Then it was Yami's turn to watch him and when the kid went to sleep they all watched him. Then he woke up and every thing started over. From what he could see Yugi was being attacked but it wasn't by the Enmity Guard, who Kaiba sent to kill Yugi, and at the moment he didn't feel like explaining why. And besides it was just some kids who were picking on him for fun so he wasn't allowed to help.

After the long beating it had gotten dark out. From what Yugi had counted he received 78 kicks to the back, 42 to the stomach, and 117 punches to the face. Yugi,unable to stand leaned against a tree. His stomach was killing him and he knew he needed to get home and take that medicine. Even if he fell asleep, at the moment he didn't care if those three specters, which was what he called them, watched him or not. Yeah he had noticed them following him around and to be honest, after what the one at the hospital had said he was more afraid than ever. They had been following him since he left the hospital actually. They usually stayed a reasonable distance away from him, which he figured was so he couldn't hear them. He figured one was watching him now as he tried, and failed to stand. It was late November and the forecast had predicted snow. 'Great,' He thought to himself 'Im going to freeze out here.' As if one cue snow started falling from the dark blue night sky and Yugi was helpless to do anything….

Yami and Bakura waited for Marik outside the school gate. It had gotten dark out and both figured something had happened. Yami looked over at Bakura, who nodded his head as they entered the school grounds. They floated in silence for awhile as they looked for their blond friend, eventually Bakura broke the silence with a question they both wanted the answer to "Where do you think they are?" He asked looking at Yami who looked at him with the stone cold gaze of knowing nothing. It had begun to snow outside as they continued their search. Finally they saw their blond friend in the shadows of a few trees. "Marik, what are you doing? Where is the boy?" Marik looked at him in silence and looked back to what he was looking at. Bakura and Yami followed his gaze to a large oak tree. Then Yami noticed something, at the bottom of the tree was a small tri-colored haired boy in a school uniform. "Marik what happened? How did he end up this way?" Yami said looking over to his friend, worry in his eyes. Mariks answer was swift and probably thought through. "It had been two boys. They beat him up and left him there. It's my guess the thing he had been in the hospital for kicked in and is the reason he's not moving." Yami thought, he could always reveal himself to a human who didn't have The Gift and lead them to the injured boy. Surely they would help. As if sensing his thoughts Bakura glared at him "No, it's too risky." "What other choice do we have?" Yami replied seeing his friend look down. He knew Bakura was right. 'What if he revealed himself to a person who wasn't willing to help? What if-' His train of thought was derailed when he heard faint shouting. "Yugi! Yugi!" He looked at Bakura who was whispering something Marik. Marik nodded and went towards where the shouting was coming from.

Yugi, hearing his name being called attempted to get up again, he was almost successful, but he lost his balance and fell forward onto his face. For awhile he, he just lay there. Letting snowflakes cover him, their icy sting going through him each time one landed on his skin. After awhile the voices stopped and he heard footsteps. They were getting closer and closer. He couldn't quite figure out whose they were until he heard a scream "Yugi!" 'Anzu?' unable to be sure he attempted to look up and saw his friends looming over him. They all had relieved smiles on their faces and Anzu was crying her eyes out. He looked around seeing a black caped shadow with blond hair disappear into the shadows. ::Don't fear us:: the words rang in Yugi's head as his friends lifted him up he couldn't help but wonder 'Did they help them find me?'

After the long, cold walk home and some of the rancid medicine Yugi was feeling much better, well other than all the bruises and scrapes he had gotten from being beaten up. Jounochi, in his usual stance shouted "Im gonna kill those two English brats!" Yugi couldn't help but smile. Jounochi always made him feel better, and with good reason. Every since they met Jounochi was usually the one who got Yugi out of his sadness induced slumps. "Hey Jounochi, how did you guys find me?" Yugi asked. He already had a good idea of what they would say he just wanted to confirm it. Jounochi still angry and planning his revenge said nothing, instead Anzu answered for him. "Well. 'she began "we had been looking for you for hours,"

Flash BACK

"Yugi!, Yugi! Where could he be?" Grampa Mouto had been waiting for his grandson to come home when Honda, Jounochi, Ryou, And Anzu had come by looking for him. That had three hours ago and they still hadn't found him. "Don't worry Gramps we'll find him." Jounochi replied. They kept shouting for what seemed like forever when a blond haired man in a black cape came out in front of them

"Hey whats the big idea? Cant you see we're looking for someone?" Jounochi said with an annoyed tone. The blond man just smiled and turned. He turned again indicating them to follow and walked off. "Do you think we should follow?" Anzu asked "Its not like we have much of a choice." Honda replied and they went after him. They had been walking for what seemed like hours when the giant oak tree came into view. "Hey," Jounochi said "isn't this the school grounds?" "Your right Jounochi." Honda replied "Why would Yugi be here?" Anzu asked thinking that the man they had followed might have tricked them. Suddenly the man went far ahead of them and disappeared. "Hey get back here!" Jounochi shouted bursting out of the trees. What he saw next made him stop. After him came Honda, Ryou, Grampa Mouto , and finally Anzu who screamed at the sight. "Yugi!"

End FLASHBACK

Yugi looked at them dazed. He had been right, the specters had helped them find him. But why? Why would they help him? Had he done something that had made them happy? Before he could answer he felt the medicine kick in and he lay back down. As he drifted off he heard a faint voice "The medicine is probably kicking in, we should let him rest." He was pretty sure it was his grandfather but before he could ask he was enclosed in darkness as he heard footsteps leaving his room. He propped himself on his shoulders enough to see the three men, who had been watching him for some time now. He smiled and laid back down. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, a smile on his face.
