I don't quite know what it was that made me think having a relationship was a good idea. I should've known it was asking for trouble, even back then. Sadly it would be years before I would find out that me being happy was a bad thing. Every time I was happy, something terrible came to take it away.

Everything started out great. We were both just two really happy kids and all day we would sit around, talk, hold hands and occasionally kiss. All the other kids in the room would awww us all the time, making both of us blush like mad. We would always get comments like "You're both so cute" and "You two make a good couple!" We helped each other forget the pain after our "special time" with the men. Ushio was the only one who had one specific boy he always played with but the other men had favorites. Rebecca was Raphael's favorite girl so Becky was always getting called to please him. I hated it whenever she was called and she hated it when I was called. To see the other in pain was something we had an extreme dislike for.

We were never doing anything wrong and we were always happy. Being with Rebecca was fun and liberating. Now that I'm older I understand that I wasn't in love of course. If I had met her when I was older and smarter I would've never dated her. But she would've made a great friend.

Like many days that would end badly for me, it started out wonderful and ordinary with me waking up. It had been two months since me and Becky started this relationship. At night we had a habit of falling asleep side by side under my baby blanket. In the mornings I would always wake up first and she would wake up only moments after. "Good morning Yugi." Rebecca said, waking up as if on cue. A kiss on the cheek was her reply as the little girl blushed and giggled. This of course started a whole new rounds of doting and adoration from the other kids.

To have two cute little kids in a relationship was so cute. It was something that momentarily took everyone's minds off of where we were and what we were doing there. I think that's what I liked best about our relationship. It took everyone's minds off their problems, if only for a little bit. But like all good things, it would come to a dramatic and gruesome end.

"Hey you two, when's the wedding!" As soon as the idea was said, everyone echoed the words asking when they were gonna get married. A few of the older kids who has lived outside of the orphanage always talked about what it was like out there. Rebecca and Yugi remembered hearing the story of how two people fell in love and got married. Yugi could still hear Rebecca's excited voice saying "that's gonna be us someday" as the tale of the wedding finished. Yugi looked over to see Rebecca's looking at him expectantly. "Well Yugi," she said jokingly, "when are we getting married?" Yugi smiled at her and she smiled back. The other kids watched in anticipation and building suspense as for a few moments, Yugi stayed silent.

"Wanna get married Becky?" Before Rebecca could even say yes or no their was a shout of joy from everyone. A few guys grabbed Yugi and a few girls grabbed Rebecca and took them to opposite sides of the room. They fixed their hair as much as they could with just their hands and spit. They wiped the dirt off their bodies as much as they could, using their shirts for rags.

Children of all ages and sizes lined up on two sides, making an artificial isle. Rebecca looked at Yugi and Yugi looked at Rebecca as the two shyly smiled at each other. It wasn't a proper wedding by any means. None of the normal procedures were cared about. But as the two walked down the isle and took each other's hands, it was the most beautiful thing any of the kids had seen. It had been so long since anyone had experienced something fun and beautiful and some of them would never see anything fun or beautiful again.

"Kiss...kiss...kiss...kiss..." The chant started as one person and then two and soon everyone was shouting it at the top of their lungs. The two kids blushed and smiled at each other, leaning in.

"What the hell is going on in here!" Suddenly the whole room was in a frenzy. Someone grabbed Rebecca and someone grabbed Yugi and pulled the two in the opposite directions. Everyone formed the usual lineup placing Yugi and Rebecca on opposite ends as Raphael looked around the room with narrowed untrusting eyes at the kids standing their with their heads down.

Yugi and Rebecca's tries to look at each other but were pushed back by other people trying to keep the two from getting hurt. Raphael hummed disapprovingly. He suddenly pointed to one little boy and beckoned him forward. Leon Von Schroeder stepped forward slowly with a terrified look on his face. He was a friendly kid who everyone liked. He came from a wealthy family and a long line of business men. He probably would've been a business man himself if he and his brother hadn't been separated from his family in a crowd one day when they were both extremely young.

Leon stepped forward, fear clear in his eyes. "Y-yes R-Raphael?" His knees were shaking as bad as his voice, and who could blame him?The boy was terrified as he stared up at the second biggest man in the entire building.

"What's going on in here?" Leon gulped and looked down. He gave a small shrug of his shoulders, refusing to look up. Raphael growled and went over to him before pulling his hair back to force him to look at him. "Look at me and speak when I ask you a question." Raphael slapped Leon hard across the face making the boy fall to the ground. Leon looked up with watery eyes at Raphael.

"I-I d-d-don't kn-know what's g-going o-on!" The tears and his fear made his voice shaky. It was hard to understand him but Raphael did and he didn't like the answer. Raphael growled before pulling out a handgun and pointing it at Leon before pulling the trigger twice.

I had seen a gun before even at that age. Every now and then in the orphanage someone turned thirteen and when they turned thirteen, they were killed. That's why the oldest people at the orphanage were twelve. It was always sad even for me because even back then I somehow knew they were dead. I glanced up at Zigfried who had a shaking hand on my shoulder. He was crying loudly. He had just watched his baby brother get killed and the worst part is that he couldn't do anything about it.

Raphael looked around again and then pointed to a little girl with carrot orange hair and big green eyes. She stepped forward, scared at meeting the same end as Leon who laid on the ground in a puddle of his own blood. "What is going on in here?" His finger slipped back over the trigger as he once again pointed the gun at the girl.

"Th-They were having a w-wedding s-sir." She stuttered out shakily. Raphael's eyes narrowed even farther. The carrot haired girl cowered in fear, her eyes glued to the muzzle of the gun.

"Who was having a wedding?" Raphael looked around the room looking at each of the kids trying to find the answer to who would be punished. The girl slowly pointed to me and then Rebecca with a shaking finger. "Is that so? Ushio won't be very happy that his bitch and my little Becky are in a relationship. Go back to the line." The girl gave a sigh of relief and turned to go back to the lineup. There was a sudden gunshot and the girl suddenly fell to the ground, dead. Raphael tucked his gun away and left the room.

As a few kids came to take the dead bodies over to the corner pile and Zigfried fell to his knees and broke down crying over the loss of his baby brother, I went over to Rebecca. We stared at each other silently knowing something bad would happen. I opened and closed my mouth several times, unsure what to say to her to make this better. Suddenly she leaned in and kissed me. It was a small peck on the lips like all our kisses were but it made me a bit happier none the less. She gave me a small smile. "There" she said "now we're married."

We spent a while together just holding one another in silence as the sound of crying and the intense fear in the room surrounded us.

"So what's going on in there?" Ushio asked, a cigarette hanging between his lips. He had been annoyed when all the noise from the kids' room had interrupted his peaceful day so he told Raphael to deal with it. Smoke filled the room as he exhaled before putting the smoke back in his mouth.

"Your little boy and my little Becky were getting married. They were about to kiss when I walked in. They didn't even invite us." Raphael said watching his boss take the cigarette from his mouth again. Ushio blew out.

"Is that so? I don't really like that, after all I'm the only one who should be allowed to touch him. Get rid of her." Raphael stared at him for a moment, not sure if he understood correctly. Ushio's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Is there a problem?"

Raphael cleared his throat nervously. Ushio watched as the man looked at anything but him. "I just... Well I mean, they were just playing sir. I don't think she-"

"I didn't bring you here to think Raphael. I brought you here to keep order and since there was just a fucking wedding I don't think you're doing a good job." Raphael looked down as another stream of smoke filled the room. Raphael could feel the burn of Ushio's eyes on him even as he looked down. "Fix it." He said, and that was the end of it.

Raphael burst into the room so suddenly. I was holding Becky as we sat in a corner under my blanket talking. It was insane, one minute she was in my arms and the next thing I knew she was being ripped out of them and dragged to the front of the room. I tried to run to her but someone grabbed my arm and held me back. I looked up to see Alister's cruel smile. I turned to the front of the room as Raphael forced Becky to her knees and put a gun to her head. She looked at me with fear in her eyes as tears rolled down her small cheeks. "Yugi," she said "help." And the trigger was pulled.

She fell to the ground as her brains were blown out, parts of it landing on the wall that was near the other side of her head. Alister let me go and laughed wickedly as I ran over to her. I'm not sure what I thought I could do but I still went over to her, crying and asking her to come back. But she never did.

AN: sorry this is so short but my brain just won't let me write anything else. Either way I hope you enjoy and once again, sorry.
