Blood! Blood! Gallons of the stuff! I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough! So give them blood, blood, BLOOOODDD! OHHH! I'm that kinda human wreckage that you love!

(Bows)

Sorry, but I've been listening to MCR again and I just LOVE the song "Blood" because it makes me smile!

So… I'm back again with another update for this story, I'm not a big fan of filler chapters my self, but I really want this story to at least have twelve chapters. I have a great idea for the plot, but I'm stuck on filling it in! Damn!

But I think I can get some good stuff in that will please the people; at least I hope I can.

Anyway, because I feel I should, I'm updating. Man, I have so many good ideas for this story! But I can't put them in right now! I think I'll put in a special thing near the end of this chapter, its pretty much what a lot of you people might have been waiting for.

I don't own anything but the plot and any OCs.

NOTE! Yusei is sixteen in the story, same with Jack and Jack works at Crimson Dragon Enterprises which is not real and is just a made up place in the actual 5D's but in the fanfic it is real, I'm just not sure what it is that they make yet, maybe computers or something. Guess where the crimson dragon thing is from. XD

On with the fic!

Bottled Up Gods

Chapter Six: The Sky is Crying

Kaiba was, for one of the few moments in his life, worried about someone. And that someone was Yami.

After being gone, Yami looked different and not in a good way. His skin was paler then normal, he had a bandage on his cheek, nose, and forehead, dark circles surrounded his dull eyes. He was shaking, his lips had a slight blue tint to them, and his red eyes were dull with slight fear in them.

"Yami… what happened to you?!" Yusei gasped as he came down the stairs. He looked Yami over, freaking out on how Yami was not moving, outside of the trembling. "Yami, speak to me!" Yusei begged.

Red-eyes looked into two sets of blue. "I… I've been bad…" And he collapsed into Kaiba's arms. Yusei and Kaiba looked at each other and frowned.

"What did he mean by that?" Kaiba asked softly as he picked Yami up into his arms so he was holding him a in a bridal-like fashion. Yusei bit his lip, not sure what to say. "I don't know, but let's get him to the nurse's office…" He said as he was about to go in that direction but Kaiba barked at him, making Yusei stop.

"No! If she sees his wounds then she might ask questions! Do you know someone who can help and already knows about Yami?" Kaiba spoke, making Yusei think.

"I think I do."

"What in the world happened here?"

Jack Atlas spoke as he looked at Yami. The small group of people was able to get into an empty biology classroom, thanks to a threat from Kaiba, and took Jack from one of his classes to help them. They had placed Yami onto a table that, thankfully, was cool and helping him with the fever he still seemed to have.

"We don't know, Yami collapsed and we were wondering if you could help us Jack." Yusei replied.

Jack looked Yami over, touching his exposed skin to see if he could feel for a high fever or any delicate spots. While he did this, Kaiba felt like slapping his hands away. But why would he do that? Kaiba knew Jack was only trying to help, but a pang of hatred and envy was still rearing its ugly head, though Kaiba pushed it away when Jack spoke up. "He still has a fever, but judging from the paleness of his skin and how deep his sleep is as well as the dark rings around his eyes, he hasn't slept well in days, maybe even weeks."

Kaiba frowned. "On Friday night he woke up burning and sweating because his fever was 103 degrees. I got him to cool down and let him sleep, but that took about four hours of trying. He broke down from the pain and begged for me to make it stop."

Yusei and Jack looked at each other; both had looks of fear on their faces. "Kaiba, could you lift up Yami's shirt?" Jack asked. Kaiba did so and all three gasped. Yami's stomach was mostly black, purple, and blue with some red patches from dry blood due to some scratches. Kaiba placed his fingers lightly on Yami's stomach, earning a small, pained moan from him. Kaiba let go of Yami's shirt and looked at Yusei and Jack.

"These wounds are fresh. Yami only had a few small ones when he was at my place and when he left. Who did this to him?"

The other two didn't reply, making Kaiba angrier. "Who the FUCK did this to Yami?!" He barked, slamming his fist onto the table Yami was lying on.

"Kaiba… please don't…"

The CEO blinked and looked at tired red-eyes with unshed tears in them. His shaking hand touched Kaiba's fist. "They can't tell you… I don't want… want you worrying…"

"Yami…" Yusei moved closer to his friend. "Don't talk, we'll take you to my place, we'll treat your wounds and clean you up okay?" The motorist placed a timid hand on Yami's shoulder, causing him to move away from the hand.

"Yami, your wounds need to be treated, let up help you." Kaiba spoke softly as he helped the boy sit up. Yami looked at him and then at Yusei and Jack before nodding. Kaiba pulled out his cell phone and began telling the school that Yami, Jack, Yusei, and himself would be absent for the rest of the day.

Yami was not happy as of the moment, nor was he mad. He was just in a lot of pain right now and it hurt to move at times. Kaiba had him sitting in his car's passenger seat while he drove, following Yusei and Jack in the car ahead of them. Resting his head on the cool glass of the window, Yami closed his eyes and listened to the rain outside that started just before they left.

"The sky is crying…"

Kaiba blinked and looked over at him. "Hmm?"

Yami opened an eye and looked at him. "The sky is crying Kaiba…"

"Yeah... it is… Yami can I ask you a question?"

"You just did but you can ask another."

Kaiba gave him a look. "Oh that was so funny I forgot to laugh, but seriously though, what was the last thing you ate?"

Yami's eyes widened and a frown was on his face. "I think the crackers you gave me on Sunday morning…"

Kaiba hit the brakes making Yami hunch forward and causing pain to go through his middle. "What?! Yami, what do you mean by that?!"

Yami bit his lip, tears forming in his eyes. "I don't know…! I just can't eat anything right now without throwing it up later! My stomach hurts too much to put even liquid in it!"

Kaiba sighed and rested his head in his hand as he waited for the red light to turn green. He then looked at Yami and saw the tears coming down his face. He reached over and wiped one away, making Yami blink. "I'm didn't know… I'm sorry for yelling but that took me by surprise. Maybe we can try and see if you can at least have some broth or something light okay? We won't give you anything heavy and you have to drink some water, you looked dehydrated." He spoke as he went back to driving.

The rest o the ride was quite and they soon arrived at Yusei's new place since he moved out on his own after Yami moved out of their old neighborhood. Kaiba ran inside with Yami and still ended up getting drenched, but the same could be said about Yusei and Jack.

"Damnit wasn't expecting this…" Kaiba muttered. Yusei sighed and headed up stairs with Yami to get him cleaned up and bandaged, asking Jack and Kaiba to start some broth and that there was some extra clothing in the guest room, which by the way, was actually some of Jack's clothing incase he stayed over.

After getting dressed (in clothing that Kaiba liked since it was his size and in a style he enjoyed) Kaiba walked into Yusei's kitchen and looked around. "How does a sixteen year old afforded a place like this?"

Jack chuckled. "Well, when your boyfriend is rich and you own your own auto repair business you get special privileges." Kaiba turned around and looked at the blond.

"Oh yes, I forgot that you are the vice-president for Crimson Dragon Enterprises." Kaiba spoke as he opened a cabinet. "So you and Yusei are dating, sounds nice."

"It is, I'm surprised that you have yet to ask Yami out."

SLAM!

Kaiba slammed the cabinet shut and turned around, glaring. "What makes you think that I like Yami?!" Jack just snickered.

"That outburst and your blushing face just proves my point, you like Yami. I also noticed you were not too happy with me touching him in the classroom today and how protective you were of him when you were holding him in your arms. You must really care about him, yet you are denying it because you think he doesn't like you back, which is not true."

The burnet raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?" He knew Jack had hit his target dead on with what he said, but what did he mean by it not being true that Yami hated him?

"What I mean is," Jack stated as he started working on the broth. "Yami actually has feelings for you, even Yusei knows because Yami told him. Yami really likes you and he only acts mean to you because he doesn't want you getting involved in his life right now outside of the rivalry thing and you can see that it is hurting him. Don't tell Yuse and Yami that I said that because Yami is going to have to tell you everything on his own."

Jack sighed before continuing. "Yusei told me on the way here that you want to know more about Yami outside of what you already know correct?" He got a nod and then continued. "Well, Yami doesn't tell me everything but I am aware that he is in pain, he is one of my friends after all, and yet even though Yami tell Yusei about what's wrong, he won't tell me, Judai, or even his brother about it."

Kaiba looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Shouldn't Yugi know?"

The blond shook his head. "He won't tell me and Judai because he doesn't want more people getting involved and Yugi… he's being threatened not to tell Yugi because if he does…"

"Yugi will get involved and will only end up getting hurt and Yami doesn't want that because he cares deeply for his twin brother." Kaiba finished, getting at what Jack was trying to tell.

"Exactly, now do not speak of this to Yami until the time is right okay? He's really emotional right now so just keep it to yourself." Kaiba nodded in response.

Yusei took Yami to his room and had him sit on the bed. "Okay Yami, I want you to get those wet clothing of okay? I'll find you something to wear that won't squeeze your chest or hurt your waist."

Yami nodded. As he removed his clothing down to his boxers, Yusei had gotten him a grey t-shirt that was going to be big on Yami since Yusei was taller and more muscular then Yami was, especially since Yami seemed to have the muscle mass of a stick figure at the moment. He also grabbed a pair of sweats and then he changed into a tank top and pants before looking at Yami and frowning deeply.

Yami had his head hung low and was rubbing his hands together, as if to calm himself down. Yusei saw the bruises and markings better and noticed there were some on his back as well. He sighed and went to his bathroom after he placed the clothing down on the bed and grabbed some medical supplies.

"What did he do this time Yami?" Yusei asked as he returned and started to clean the wounds.

"Hiro came home earlier then expected and he… he threw me into the closet for the night and on Monday morning he…" Tears started falling from Yami's eyes and Yusei frowned again.

"I see… your step father is a dick… he should not have done that just because you were sick and you were trying to get better."

"But it is my fault; I should have just stayed home rather then going to Kaiba's…"

The mechanic flicked him in the head. "Oww! Yusei…!"

"You needed it Yami, don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong and don't blame Kaiba either, he just wanted to help you, he sounded so worried when we were in the classroom today and I could see it on his face as well Yami."

Yami bit his lip. "But… I don't want him getting hurt because of me… I don't want him to pity me or worry about me… I don't want him to get involved with my life… I don't want him hurt…"

Yusei placed a hand on his cheek. "Yami, you are going to have to let him in, he cares about you and I think he might even love you Yami, you both have that same expression your faces when you think or talk about each other."

Yami looked at him, blinking. "You think he likes me…? But… what if he…"

"Yami?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up." Yusei smirked as he finished wrapping up the wounds and gave Yami his clothing.

Yami had actually eaten a little over half of the broth he was given before his stomach started to hurt. But it was enough for right now and Kaiba didn't want him getting sick from eating too much.

Kaiba was currently in the guest room where Yami was laying on the bed, Yusei and Jack were in the living room, and he kept looking at Yami who had his eyes closed.

"You do know that staring is a rude gesture right Kaiba?"

He blinked and looked at Yami who opened his eyes. The other smirked at him before carefully turning over a bit to look at him better. "Why are you looking at me anyway Kaiba?"

Kaiba blinked blushed lightly, thankful that the lights were shut off in the room and the only light was from the window. "I don't know, just checking on you." Yami only chuckled.

"That's not the only thing… Kaiba, you like me don't you?"

Kaiba's eyes widened. "What…?!"

"I know you do… Yusei and Jack told me so… then that means that you know that I like you right?"

"Yeah… Jack told me that you are in love with me… but you don't want to be in a relationship with me because I'll only get dragged down with the others thanks to what ever is going on in your life, am I correct?"

Yami nodded as he sat up, a frown on his face. Kaiba only snorted at this. "So what? I don't care if I get stuck in with your problems because I want to help fix them and don't say you don't want me to be with you because I'll get hurt or you are not worthy." He spoke as Yami looked at him.

The boy was about to say something but Kaiba locked their lips together.

TBC

Yes, Hiro is actually Yami's STEP father. Yusei will explain this to Kaiba later on, maybe in the next chapter, speaking of the next chapter; we will get to see the reaction to the kiss. Did anyone else love the talk between Kaiba and Jack because I did.

Please review, because I would really love to see your reactions.
