If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh! It would not finish and Yami would not be evil.
Me: 23 reviews! 23 reviews!
Yugi: (to readers) she has been like this since she found out.
Yami: (trying to calm Chan down) I told you people liked your story!
Me: I know! I know! Great an'it it?
Yami: Yes it is! (Starts dancing wildly with Chan)
Seto: Honestly! He's still like a little kid.
Yugi: man this is embarrassing.
Seto: At last we can agree on something.
Joey: Oh lighten up rich boy! (Grabs Seto and starts dancing with him)
Seto: Joey! As the CEO of Kaiba corp. I can't just start……oh what the heck! (Starts jumping up and down with Joey) 23 reviews! Wheeeeeeee!
Yugi: Um guys? Reviews?
Me: Reviews? Oh yes reviews! (Stops dancing and straightens hair and clothes as do Seto, Joey and Yami).
Mellinde: Thanks! I know it is sad but like you said 'no bad guys, no story'.
Ranchan11: Yep you guessed it! Some one was following Yami! So I shall dedicate this chapter to you along with some others! Oh and I read your bio. So I know about your 2 children. I am amazed that someone with 2 kids would read all the nasty stuff I put my characters trough!
Cute Yami: ah! New reviewer to this story! Sorry but nope. It isn't Ushio and Yugi. But I can't promise Yami won't get hurt.
Dark-Lady-Devinity: Hi again! Oooh!You're from Canada! My mum knows someone who is moving there! I live in East Anglia in England!
Y3n-YeN: Thank you! It is so nice to feel appreciated! Yami: Hello my fan!
Saybeebuzz: Hallo again! Core blimey you can talk! Well you got some of the people at the door! But not Rex and Wevil! They give me the creeps! Not the police either! I put a lot of people off by saying it might be Ushio. It isn't. Oh and I would never ever let anyone turn evil, especially not Yugi! Still, you got the bit about someone seeing Bakura carry Yami so this chapter is dedicated to you too! Anyone who says they like a character is able to have them say hi back!
Hikari106: Thank you! Thank you very much! I had fun writing about that topless Yami thing! Good idea about who is at the door but sorry, no. The man who 'looks after' Bakura isn't actually his dad. That evil man will probably come back in later chapters. Here is the update! Yami: hello! I have a lot of fans!
Yugi: so who is this chapter dedicated to?
Me: Ranchan11 and Saybeebuzz.
Yugi: Cool!! Hey ranchan11!
Seto: Hi again Saybeebuzz!
Me: I will be doing a cliff-hanger question at the end of nearly every chapter now so there will be a chance for everyone to get a dedication!
Yami: that sounds cool!
Yugi: it is!
Me: oh, oh, oh! Before we begin I would just like to explain what a flash-forward is. It is basically the opposite to a flashback, it is what someone thinks is going to happen in the future Bakura has one near the beginning of this chapter.
Yami: I have a feeling I don't get it too good in this chapter.
Me: Now that is a good guess…… (Voice fades out)
Chapter 7
The lie, the voice and the pain
Bakura's P.O.V.
"Open this door, NOW!!" I was petrified. I'd heard a lot of stories recently about a group of men who waited until boys were alone in the house and then broke in. they didn't just steal. They did steal, but they also did horrible, horrible things to the boys. I wasn't worried about what they might do to me. I just couldn't bear to imagine what they might do to someone as beautiful as Yami. Dreadful visions flashed through my mind of all the ways they would find to abuse his perfect body.
I could see it all now…
Flash-forward
I opened the door and peered carefully outside. I was there about half a second before I was forced backwards by the strong leader. He started to punch me again and again, demanding to know where 'the other boy' was.
"No…please don't hurt Yami!" He grinned evilly.
"Ah, so that's his name is it?"
"Don't hurt him! Please!" but he didn't listen. There was a shout from another member of the group.
"We found him! He's asleep!"
The leader grinned at me and stopped beating me to drag me upstairs.
"I'll soon wake him up!" he hissed, throwing me into the bedroom where Yami slept. I wasn't left alone though. They continued to beat me, and then forced me to watch as they first woke Yami, then hurt and abused him in ways you wouldn't suffer in even your worst nightmares. And I couldn't stop them.
End Flash-forward
I was snapped back to reality as the banging on the door intensified again. I had to answer the door. As I left the bedroom, I turned the key in the lock and placed a chair under the door handle. It was just some crazy idea that it might at least slow them down while I thought up a plan.
For now the plan involved opening the door. The person pounding on the door nearly hit me there and then when I opened the door he was still knocking on. It was just like I imagined. He forced me back and started yelling at me.
"Where is he?!" I had my eyes tight shut.
"I won't say!" I cried out, with more self-control than I knew I possessed.
Slap!
The hand that connected to my face was hard and strong. I let out a soft whimper as whoever it was pushed me harder against the wall. I couldn't open my eyes for fear of what I might see.
"I won't say." My voice was weaker now.
Slap!
"Where is Yami?!" It's worse than I thought! They already knew his name!
Slap!
"Answer me Bakura!" they knew my name too!
Slap! A different voice this time.
"Wad ya do ta Yami?!" I knew that Brooklyn accent. I opened my eyes.
"Joey?!" it wasn't just Joey. Tristan had been the one punching me and shouting, he and Joey were both glaring death at me. Looking past them, I could just make out Tea and Ryou holding back and looking nervous.
"Yes I'm Joey!" the blonde spoke through gritted teeth. "Now answer my question!" Tea was trembling as she moved slightly forward. Her voice was barely above a whisper.
"What did you do to him?"
"I haven't done anything to him!" I was getting a bit desperate now as Tristan tightened his grip on my collar and drew his fist back again.
Slap!
"Don't play dumb Bakura!" he yelled. "We saw you carry him out of school! We saw those cuts and bruises you gave him! We know you beat him up!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I would never hit Yami! O.K., O.k.! So might have hit him before. Alright so I did hit him, but once and only once! That was back in battle city, before his dreams started, before I cared. Back then I still thought he was a brat Pharaoh who never had a hard day in his life.
Just before our duel in the semi finals, I saw him standing in the corridor trying to find his room card in his pocket. Just as he was reaching out to the door, I caught his wrist in my hand and span him around. I then forced him against the door he had previously been trying to open. Our faces were inches apart. Looking back, I realise I had feelings for him even then, I just didn't know it then. Anyway, I slammed his back into the door with a great deal of force and then hissed that he was a useless brat who needed to be taught a lesson. And then I hit him. Repeatedly. After I was finished, I picked the card off the floor next to where he now lay and used it to unlock the door. I lifted the super skinny, injured Pharaoh and carried him in my arms into the room. I then slung him onto the bed and told him he better rest for our duel.
He still had bruises when the dreams started. I knelt in front of him and begged for him to forgive me. He did. He said that I couldn't control the evil inside me. He told me that it was no surprise after everything I heard about him. That just made me feel worse that I could ever have hurt someone so pure. Luckily no one but us two know about this.
I was shocked out of my thoughts by Tristan shaking me.
"I did not hurt him!" I screamed. Tristan stopped shaking me. I started to tell them the truth.
"He…" Oh no you don't Bakura! You're not going to tell them the truth just yet! It was just like when I nearly kissed Yami in the hospital. Like someone else was talking into my mind. Lie!
"He got beat up by someone else! I found him and took him back here! He's upstairs asleep!"
"Oh." Tristan released me looking embarrassed.
"Can we see him?" asked Tea. I nodded and lead them upstairs. They exchanged startled looks as I moved the chair and unlocked the door, but said nothing. Yami was still asleep and whimpering slightly. Me and the others gathered round him and I gently smoothed out the sheets and wondered what memories were bothering my friend this time.
Dream
Yami's P.O.V.
The skin Jono had just cut stung and bled, staining the sheets. I didn't yell; just simply spoke an honest opinion.
"That is going to be exceedingly difficult to explain to my sisters." We could all giggle about it now that it was over.
"I'll get some clean sheets out of the bathroom." Said Seth, getting up and dragging the sheets into the bathroom. We had been chatting for abut a quarter of an hour when we heard the stones thrown at the balcony door. My face lit up as I realised who it was singing that beautiful Egyptian song.
"It's her! It's Teanna!" I scrambled to the door as fast as I could on my injured leg. I flung the doors open and then stood resting my elbows on the stone rail of the balcony with my head in my hands, listening to Teanna sing. When she finished, I looked down at her incredibly pretty face. She had short brown hair, pale skin and light shining blue eyes like twin sapphires. It was no big guess who she would be reincarnated as.
"My pharaoh. I know you must marry but there is something you must know!"
"What is that?" I asked felling my heart lift higher than it had been all day.
"It is that I will always be there for you because I will always love you." I heard my friends let out little gasps of surprise and wonder.
"Same here Teanna." I called. Then I got slightly chocked up with tears. "Same here." and I smiled through my tears as she began to sing to me again.
End Dream
My eyes slowly opened. I could make out Bakura along with Joey, Tea, Tristan and Ryou. Bakura gently stroked my face.
"I told your friends how you got beaten up Yami. They are all very worried about you." I smiled knowing Bakura hadn't told. Tea leaned forward to give me a soft hug that made my heart fly.
"Err do you all want to go down stairs and get a drink now?" asked Bakura. Tea pulled away and we all murmur an agreement. Bakura helped me out of bed and down stairs. He then helped me sit down and got me a drink of water.
"Poor Yami." Said Joey kindly as he sat down next to me. "Whys it always gotta be you dat gets beat up eh?" I shrugged, not having an answer.
"Just my bad luck I guess."
Just then the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Said Bakura getting up.
It was like jolts of pain were suddenly coursing out of the millennium puzzle and through my body like electric shocks. I groaned as I put one hand on the puzzle bending forwards in great hurt. I abruptly knew what the phone call was about.
End Chapter
Me: and today's cliff-hanger question is… (Drum roll) Who is calling and what do they want? It's your chance to get a dedication! Everyone who answers the question correctly gets a dedication even if they have got one before!
Yami: We didn't mean for Bakura to come across as being evil in this chapter.
Yugi: the bit about him beating up Yami is very important in later chapters for reasons we can not reveal at this time.
Me: Oh! I am planning on writing 3 new stories soon as well as keeping up with this one! The first is a take on the mummy returns called Anubis returns. The second is a little hard to describe. Yami helps Ryou protect himself from Bakura but then gets beaten up instead. The third is again hard to describe. The Doom bikers learn something disturbing about Yami's past and start to realise there is more to him than meets the eye.
Joey: please R&R and enter the cliff-hanger question!
