Here is the final chapter of Bottled Up Gods.

Yes, that's right.

It's finished after this, but I'm working on another angst story to satisfy you guys and girls out there who like my style. And hopefully my dear friend Toxic Hathor will like that I'm keeping my promise and I'm updating this week.

Well, here we are, forty-five wonderful reviews and twelve chapters later… I think I'm going to cry.

Yami: Cry on your own time! Let's get this over with! Ri owns nothing but the plot and OCs!

Kaiba: Warning… well, maybe some cussing, mentions of rape and abuse, a gun, blood, Yami breaking down (Sorry love!) and character death. Yep, someone's gonna die!

I should mention that two characters from two different stories have roles in this. Judge John Taylor from Strawberry Flavored Blueberries and from my new fic that will come out after this story is Ryan McCain who is going to be Hiro's lawyer in this. In the other story he does really mean things to poor Yami. (Hugs Yami, buts gets pushed away by Kaiba who hugs Yami instead)

Forgive me on the court room scene! I'm not use to writing them and I don't watch shows with those kinds of things!

Yusei: On with the fic!

Bottled Up Gods

Chapter Twelve: … But They Get Better Afterwards

When Yami woke up completely two days later, he was filled with every emotion excluding happiness.

Now, why was he acting like this? There are many reasons to answer that but let's stick with the simplest and there for the biggest reasons.

For one, he was really twitchy and moody thanks to the drug leaving his body, at one point he tackled a nurse to the ground, demanding some. They had to restrain him for five hours just to calm him down; at one point he bit the doctor's hand when the man was checking his eyes and Yami moved his head quick enough to clamp down on Dr. Shire's hand.

They let him go after he calmed down and stopped asking about it. Second, he was extremely guilty and upset for everything after he found out Yugi now knew what was going on in his life.

He broke down a few times, saying he was sorry over and over to his brother, who only wrapped his arms around him and held him close. Yugi kept telling him that he forgave him for everything and told him that it was not his fault for not telling the smaller twin.

Then Yami was pissed off with himself and how he gave in so easily to those horrible men, though he still considered calling the man from the Black Market TV Head. But there were others that he was mad at.

He was mad at Hiro, the man, and his own father.

After Yami was let out of the restraints and was in his hospital bed again, Atemu came in and Yami was not happy to see the man. Since Atemu was not a common person in Yami's life and he had never done anything to help the boy out of this mess, Yami couldn't stand him.

But the real reason was because he believed that if Atemu hadn't left, then Hikaru would have never met Hiro, that she would still be alive, and that he wouldn't be in this awful mess of a life that he had now.

"You! What the fuck are you doing here Atemu!?" He demanded, making Kaiba raise an eyebrow as he watched Atemu glare just as dark as Yami was doing right now.

"Checking on my son who ended up in the hospital and don't you dare talk to me like that Yami Mouto!"

"Who said you could call me your son?!

"You are my son by blood and I'm sure as hell a lot better father to you then Hiro is!"

The room was quiet, Atemu just realized what he said and looked apologetic at Yami who was shaking. Since he woke up, Yami had not been getting any decent sleep, he kept having horrid nightmare that ended up with him screaming and crying. Kaiba ended up sleeping in the hospital to keep Yami some company so that the boy would calm down a bit.

Atemu looked at his son who was now being held by Kaiba. He sighed. "I'm sorry… I should have kept my mouth shut…"

Kaiba nodded as an acceptance of the apology since Yami had his head turned away and wasn't looking at anyone else but Kaiba right now.

It had been a week since Yami was sent to the hospital and so far, both of Yami's friends and Yugi's friends knew the complete story. Judai was so scared for his friend that he would not let go of the boy, which ended up with Jou and Honda having to remove him from Yami.

Jou, Honda, and Jack (who knew just a little bit about Yami's life before the others) now knew what was really happening to Yami and wanted to kill Hiro personally, but Kaiba told them that they would have to wait for their chances to kill him because he wanted to be the one that would end Hiro's life.

Even though Yami hated his guts, he actually talked to Atemu for awhile. He asked him why he was even here if he had never really been there for Yami and his brother. Atemu replied with the fact that Yami and Yugi never talked to him and that Hiro got rid of any connection to the boy so he couldn't check up on him at all.

Yami had to agree with him on that one, plus he couldn't really be that mad at the man for who was his real father. Hiro prevented them from getting to know each other.

Now as the two boys, Yugi, Yusei, and Kaiba sat in Yami's hospital room, they tried to come up with a plan as to how they could get back at Hiro.

"Well… I really want him to be worm food, but we can't just kill him." Yugi spoke as he looked at them.

Kaiba sighed and rubbed Yami's hand that was in his hand, giving the taller boy's hand a light squeeze. "Why don't we just kill him and make it look like an accident?"

"Seto, that's a silly idea, but you're thinking. I was thinking we can get the man behind bars. I don't want him near me and I would be really happy if he was the one being raped rather then me." Yami sighed, lying back against the pillows as he looked at the others.

For an hour now they had been trying to come up with someway to get back at the man and to find him since he went missing after Kaiba and Yusei found Yami in his house. There was no sign of him and he got rid of his cell phone so they couldn't track him as of the moment, but Kaiba had placed some of his workers on a search for him.

"Let's just sue the bastard's ass! You get back all the money he took from you, he'll get a life sentence for this, and he'll be raped by all those big guys in prison. Maybe he'll even get a lethal injection for good measure." Atemu spoke, chewing on a tooth pick since he couldn't smoke in the hospital. (Though he yelled at Yami for smoking, Atemu actually smokes)

Yusei cocked an eyebrow. "Hmm… you think we can sue that guy? How are we going to do that?"

"You forget Yusei; I'm one of the top lawyers in America." Atemu smirked, making Yami comment that the man's ego was showing, causing Yugi and Kaiba to snicker.

"But it could work, that way people can know what he did and that he was working for an illegal distributor as well." Yami spoke up, shuddering at the memory of that horrid man and his step father. "I want justice! I don't want what he did to go unpunished!"

"I know love, but we have to track him down first and get permission to take him to court. And we have to get evidence as well." Kaiba explained but Yami just gave him an upset face.

"That house and I ARE the evidence Seto! I don't want him out on the streets, and I don't want him finding me!"

"He won't find you love, not while you're with me."

Yami looked at him and nodded, a frown was still on his face. Kaiba was going to be there to protect him though, he knew that much, but who was going to protect Kaiba?

They had found Hiro after two weeks of looking, he was hiding in another city in Japan under a false name but Kaiba's men caught him. He was under arrest for rape and abuse against a minor, for selling drugs, for robbery, and for working with the Black Market.

His court date was tomorrow and Yami was panicking.

He had been released from the hospital about two days ago and he was with Kaiba. The CEO had Yami following him everywhere since the boy was still vulnerable to things and he was still scared. Because Yami's house was evidence in the case and was a crime scene, Yami wasn't allowed to get his clothing and items so as of the moment he was wearing a pair of track pants and a black hoodie that belonged to Kaiba.

"Seto… I don't know how I'm going to be able to face him tomorrow… what if he does something?"

Kaiba, who had Yami sitting in his lap and was petting his odd hair, looked at him and sighed, giving his hand a light squeeze. "Yami, love, I won't let him hurt you okay? And besides, if he tries to do something tomorrow, the cops will get him. And don't worry about the case, we will win."

Yami nodded and nuzzled his head against Kaiba's chest.

The next morning, Yami and Kaiba arrived at the court house. Atemu was going to be their lawyer for this and that gave them some relief. Their friends were in the audience, watching them and making sure nothing happens. The jury arrived and got seated as Hiro was taken to his side of the court room where his lawyer, a man with pale skin and evil grey-eyes, was standing.

Atemu glared at the man. "Ryan McCain, I should have known that a sniveling snake like you would be hired by a bastard like that…"

Ryan only laughed. "You better hold that temper Atemu, or you'll lose the case." Atemu's knuckles went white as he gripped the table that he sat behind but his attention was averted as the judge came in. The bailiff informed the room that Judge John Taylor had arrived.

The man looked at the file. "The case of Mouto Yami and Kaiba Seto v. Oni Hiro is now in session. Mr. Nebhepetre, bring up your first witness." Atemu nodded.

"I call Mouto Yami to the stand." Yami gulped and wanted to run, but Kaiba gave him a soft smile and Yami walked up to the stand. After he swore to tell the truth, Atemu asked him questions. "Mr. Mouto, who is Oni Hiro to you?"

"My unofficial step-father and the man who raped me…"

"And how long has he been raping you?"

"For three years…"

"What did he do aside from rape you?"

"He hit me, kicked me, starved me, threw me into a closet, and he threatened to kill my twin brother if I ever told anyone about what he did…" Tears came to Yami's eyes.

Atemu frowned at this and really wanted to give him a hug but he had to stay calm. "Mr. Mouto, please tell the jury what it is that he did to you right before you were sent to the hospital?"

Clutching his dress jacket and not looking at anyone, Yami spoke softly. "He… he told me that he had seen me and my lover together at the park and started calling me a whore. He then beat me up and raped me before throwing me into the closet. He let me out the next day and I broke my left wrist." Yami pointed to the wrapping on his wrist. "Then he made me clean the whole house, telling me that there was someone coming over to 'play' with me."

Kaiba watched his lover, seeing him shake in fear as he spoke. Blue-eyes turned to see that Hiro was glaring daggers at Yami.

"Then he locked me in my room after I finished and didn't let me out until the next day. I was then knocked out with chloroform and when I awoke I was strapped to a table and I was naked."

"He's lying! Get the fucker to stop telling his fucking story!" Hiro exclaimed while Judge Taylor banged his gavel, but Yami wasn't effect by the commotion in the court room, he kept telling his story.

"There was a man there with this awful voice that still hurts me ears and Hiro started hitting me with a whip while the strange man watched and then the man took a scary looking needle out and… and… he stuck it in my arm, telling me it was the most powerful drug and then everything went weird and Hiro raped me while I was high and I was screaming and getting hit and I was scared and everything was messed up and… Seto and Yusei arrived and I tried to hurt them and I was going crazy and… I threw up blood… and things went… AH!"

Yami broke down; he couldn't continue talking as Atemu took him away to go sit next to Kaiba who was called to the stands. After he swore, Atemu asked him some questions.

"Mr. Kaiba, how do you know Mr. Mouto?"

"He and I met in middle school. We use to be rivals but now we are dating."

"I see, were you aware of what was happening to Mr. Mouto?"

"Sadly, I didn't find out until around a month ago, though I did notice the differences in Yami over time and how he changed. He was sick and very thin; he also seemed to be in a lot of pain. I was informed of what happened by both him and Yusei Fudo."

"What was wrong with Yami when you found him at his house on the day of the incident?"

"Me and Yusei had arrived to see why Yami had not been in school. We found him in his house and he was acting strange, telling us some crazy things and then told us that he was given something strange by two men. When he tried to attack me, saying that he was a whore and that whores act like this, though I think that was Hiro who made him thing like that, I knocked him out to help him. We found that he had been raped and that he was injected with a drug. When he woke up again, he threw up blood, the results of poor health and an infection thanks to mold that had entered his wounds."

After a few more questions, Atemu stepped down and Ryan came up. "Now Mr. Kaiba, tell us why you were rivals with Mr. Mouto?"

Kaiba raised an eyebrow but explained that they were rivals at games and nothing more. He was then asked why he was dating Yami and Kaiba explained that they both had feelings for each other.

"But, are you sure its true love and not pity for Mr. Mouto?"

Yami and Kaiba both looked at the man in shook. "Objection! Your Honor, this man is badgering my client!" Atemu exclaimed and Judge said that Kaiba was allowed to leave the stand but Ryan was still allowed to have another witness up at the stand.

And he chose Yami.

Yami sat there, cowering under the older man's cold, grey eyes. "Mr. Mouto, how long has my client been 'raping' you as you have claimed?"

The boy did not ignore the air quotes that Ryan made, but answered the question with the same one that he gave Atemu. "Three years…" He spoke quietly, but with caution in his words.

"And if he had been doing that for so long, why didn't you tell the police?"

"Because… he was going to kill Yugi, right in front of me. He also made other threats that involved my friends and I know that he could do it, that man is insane!"

Ryan only glared at him. "Well, if my client is insane, as you claim him to be, what if his whole 'hurting' you thing is just from insanity. They have drugs that can clear that right up and put him on the right track."

"Yeah, but they also have drugs that can cause a normally sane person to become as crazy as a troubled child on crack! And he's selling them on the Black Market! He used me as a test subject for his awful experiment and I almost lost my mind and died because of it! I even tried to rape my lover while he was only trying to help me!" Yami exclaimed, standing up from his seat, ready to fight the man.

Everyone who was involved with Yami and Kaiba were asked many questions about the small boy and his step-father. Everyone's opinions were almost the same, they were with Yami and were against Hiro.

And now they were onto the last person to be questioned by Atemu and after his finished asking the questions, the jury would be able to decide who wins the case. Hiro sat on the bench, his attention was on no one but Yami who was sitting as close as he could to Kaiba who gave his hand a light squeeze in reassurance.

"Now Mr. Oni, tell me why it is that you insisted on harming your step-son?" Atemu asked, keeping his cool instead of tearing the man's throat out with his bare hands.

"Because that little bitch needed to learn his place! He may not be my real kid, but I still have to discipline him and teach him to be what he truly is, a whore!"

"What makes you think that my client is a whore as you say?" Atemu's left eye twitched.

"What else can I call him? A scank? A hoe? A bitch? An ass fucker? I could go on and on with what I got in my vocabulary for that cock sucker over there! He deserved every moment that he got because he was coming on to me!"

Yami gasped. What in the world did he mean by that?! Yami wanted nothing to do with that awful man who ruined his life!

Atemu glared deeply at him. "How was he coming on to you…?"

"He would always were them tight pants, showing off his goods, which are really good! Hey Kaiba! Bet you can't wait to get a good taste out of them, better yet, a good fuck out of his pretty ass!" He laughed before continuing. "That little bitch was always a trouble maker, just like his mother and father, he even spoke like one. I had to put the little bitch in his place, and I think I did well."

"Now, what about this drug you gave him? From the lab test, it seems to be a one-of-a-kind type from a rare plant in the Southern American countries."

Hiro raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes. "That little wonder shot is making me a bundle, its more powerful then any drug combined, its easy to put into the system, its more addictive then even the strongest heroin, and it last longer then any other drug without any strong side effects."

"Actually, it does have some nasty side effects. It causes massive headaches, joint pain, sleeping problems, dehydration, seizures, and powerful hallucinations that harm the brain if they continue." Atemu spoke, reading over Yami's medical report.

"Now one more question, did you really threaten to kill Mouto Yugi and those who are friends with Mouto Yami just so that he keeps his mouth shut about you harming him in abuse and rape?"

Hiro glared and smirk. "I plead guilty to that."

"No more questions." Atemu spoke harshly and moved to sit at the table.

The judged called for a recess to allow the jury to make a decision. When people got up to stretch their legs and do other things people normally do at a time like this, Atemu punched the table, cracking it and cutting his hand.

"How can someone say all that with a fucking grin on their face?!"

Yami looked at him. "Atemu, you need to calm down, he practically wrote his own death sentence right there and then."

"I think that was his plan from the start Yami…"

Kaiba and Yami looked at each other and then at Atemu, wondering what the older man meant by that. After ten minutes or so, the jury came out and everyone waited for what the men and women had to say about the case.

A young woman stood up and looked at everyone. "We have made a decision. We the jury fine the defendant guilty on the charges of rape, abuse, child abuse, Black Market deals, and performing illegal experiments on a minor. He will be sentenced to life in prison with no parole. All his savings and money will be placed in the hands of Mouto Yami while Mouto Yami will be placed in the care of his partner Kaiba Seto and his real father Nebhepetre Atemu."

Judge Taylor banged his gavel, making the sentence official. As security was about to take Hiro away, he knocked one of them in the chest and grabbed his gun, he then took Yugi and held him to his chest, his arm around the boy's neck and the gun to his head.

"Alright! Anyone moves and this little bitch gets a bullet to the head!"

Yugi and Yami looked in shock at the man who laughed and glared at Yami. "I told you Yami, that if you told anyone about what I did, Yugi was going to die in front of your very eyes and I hold true to my promises." He licked the side of Yugi's head, causing the boy to scream loudly.

Security pulled out their guns, but didn't make a move out of fear of hurting the child since Hiro was also using him as a shield. "Yami!" The red-eyed boy looked at him. "You want to know why I said all that stuff at the stand?"

Yami didn't make a move; he just kept looking at him as Hiro laughed.

"I did that because I knew I was fucked from the start, so I thought; why not tell you why I did that stuff. Just because I'm going away doesn't mean that what I did will stop. You will always be scared by what I did, how I took away your innocence and your happiness! You were fucked from the moment you and I met Yami! I never will regret what I did!"

His awful laughed filled the court room. "I never felt sorry, not even for a second! In fact, I enjoyed every moment I shoved my cock into your trembling body! All for the sake of breaking you and getting a good fuck out of it!" He removed the gun from Yugi's head and pointed it at Yami and Kaiba. "Now I can have the fun of seeing your faces in hell!"

BLAM!

THUMP!

Yugi, Yusei, Kaiba, Atemu and everyone else in the court room was shocked at the site they saw and just witness. Blood was on the table and floor as the body laid there with a large whole in the center of the head.

And the one who pulled the trigger had his victim's blood on his hands and face. Yami was shaking and dropped to his knees, the smoking gun fell from his hands.

When Hiro removed the gun from Yugi's head and pointed it at Yami, the boy unconsciously grabbed the security guard that was next to him's gun and shot the bastard that had ruined his life. And now Yami was the one not feeling guilty, though he did feel fear since he had just killed someone.

Kaiba looked down at his lover, seeing the tears coming down his face. "Yami! Yami, are you okay?" He asked, getting down and pulling the boy close. He caught a quick glance of Yugi running over to Jou who held him tightly. Yami gripped Kaiba's suit and looked at him.

"Seto… I just… I just killed someone… I'm just like…" Yami was silenced by Kaiba who placed a finger to his lips.

"Yami, you will never be like that man, you are you and not him. But… I don't know what to do about…" He gestured to the bleeding man on the floor.

Atemu looked at the judge and the jury. "Mr. Oni had a gun to an innocent's head and was using him as a shield; he also pulled a gun at and threatened my clients. So please, Mr. Mouto shooting him was out of self defense as you can see, do not count this as man slaughter. This was an act of protection on their parts."

Judge Taylor looked at him. "He is not found guilty for killing that man, since it was out of self defense and it was witness by all in the room." He banged his gavel. "Case dismissed."

A year had passed since that day at the court room and things had gotten better. Yami still felt upset for killing someone, even though it was Hiro. He still thought that he had lowered himself to that bastard's level and Kaiba had to tell him over and over that he was not like that man.

Over the year Yami had gotten his life back on track. He now weighed a healthy (for someone of his size) ninety-three pounds. His skin color was back to tan and he wasn't taking his pain medication anymore. He was top of his classes, making all straight A pluses and was picked as president of the student council again the next year. He graduated with perfect grades and was now studying world history in college.

After the court hearing, the boy moved in with Kaiba and slept in the same room with Kaiba every night since they had become official lovers. Kaiba even asked Yami to marry him, but the wedding was to be held after Yami finished his first year of college.

Though Yami was still covered in scars from his three years of abuse, he didn't care; he claimed them to be the battle scars of a war he won. But he was still scared from memories of what had happened and sometimes when he and Kaiba would make love, he would break down and cry, saying how sorry he was that Kaiba was in love with someone who had been used over and over.

Kaiba would always tell Yami that he loved him and didn't care; all he cared about was that Yami was healthy and alive with him and was his beautiful lover who made him smile everyday.

Yusei was still there for Yami, always helping him when Kaiba's wasn't around. He even got a job at Kaiba Corp, developing projects and even got his D-Wheel on the market for extreme gamers. Atemu went back to America, but would talk to Yami over the phone at least twice a week and would visit a few times. Yugi was still a little upset at Yami, but he didn't stay that way for long. He went off to America with Atemu and Jou to study medicine in New York.

So far, things have been doing great and Yami couldn't be happier as he looked outside at the moon from the balcony in his and Kaiba's bedroom. There were times where he would be quiet and ignore everything and everyone, but those times were not very common, but when he did have them, it was just to reflect on everything that happened to him over his eighteen years on earth.

He was so distracted by his thoughts that he didn't hear anyone behind him until he felt a pair of strong arms around his shoulders. "You'll catch a cold if you stay out here baby, why don't you come inside?"

Yami blinked and looked up into smiling blue-eyes. "Give me a minute Seto; I just want to look at the night sky. Isn't it lovely tonight?" Yami gestured the clear sky with all its wonders and lights.

Kaiba chuckled lightly. "Yeah, but I prefer looking at this lovely view on the ground in my arms right now."

Yami blushed and shook his head. "Seto, you are unbelievable…" He stood up and walked into the room, removing the black hoodie he wore and stood in just his sweat pants and shirt, watching Kaiba go to his side of the bed before he himself got under the covers.

Kaiba removed his shirt, preferring the sleep without it and got under, pulling Yami to his chest when the boy slipped in. Yami let out a slight 'eep' noise and turned to look at Kaiba who was smiling at him.

"Seto…" Yami rolled his eyes and smiled as he felt Kaiba's hand petting his hair.

"Hey Seto?"

"Yeah?"

"Did I ever tell you thank you for everything you have done for me?"

"You ask me that every night and I'll reply with the same answer. Yes and you're welcome."

Yami smiled, kissing his lips and smiling into the kiss when Kaiba responded back. After he had placed his God-like powers into the small, lonely bottle on the shelf of his soul for three years, Yami finally took it down and opened it.

The End.
