Ch 9
Ryo woke up in the middle night and sat up. He heard a noise in the living room and went downstairs to investigate. When he got there he was surprised to see Yugi up. "Yugi? What on earth are you doing up?" he asked.
"Sorry if I woke you up, Ryo I just can't sleep." Yugi said curling up in the couch blanket. Ryo sighed at sat down next to him.
"I know you're scared about tomorrow Yugi but the others will be there to support us and I'll be right there beside you." he said as he placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder
"Is he really going gone for good?" Yugi asked. Ryo nodded.
"Come on let's get some sleep we have a big day tomorrow." Ryo said leading Yugi to his room. He stayed inside the room until Yugi fell asleep and went to his own room and tried to get more sleep.
(Next Morning)
Heba and Yugi weren't very hungry the next morning and neither was Ryo. It seemed that their stomaches were too upset to eat anything. They piled into the car and headed to the court house.
At the court house
Ryo and Yugi sat down with Ryo's lawyer while behind them sat Heba, Sage, Rowen,Cye, Yami, Atemu, Seto, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, Ryou, Malik and Marik. Yugi gulped when they brought his father in. Ryo saw and grabbed his hand. "Relax Yugi, he can't hurt you anymore." he whispered in his ear. Yugi nodded and tried to relax. Judge Aknankanon came into to the court room a few minutes later.
"Case Mr. Ryo Sanada and Yugi Mutuo vs. Samuel Mutuo." Aknankanon started. " Samuel Mutuo you are charged with First Degree Murder, Attempted murder do you plead?" he asked.
Mr Mutou smirked. "Not Guilty." the court room erupted in an uproar.
"SILENCE! I WILL HAVE SILENCE IN MY COURT ROOM!" Aknankanon yelled as he banged his gavel. When it quieted down he turned to the Lawyers. "Mr. Carlson your first witness please." he said. Samuel's lawyer Henry Carlson stood. Carlson called each one of Ryo's friends and cousins. Finally it was Ryo's turn.
"I call Ryo Sanada to the stand." he said. Ryo stood and said the oath before facing Henry.
"Mr. Ryo about ten years ago you claimed that Mr. Mutou was abusing his sons. What made you think that the boys didn't put the bruises there themselves." Henry said.
"Objection Youur Honour. The trial is based off the events that transpired this week not ten years ago." Ryo's Lawyer said.
"Sustained. Please Mr. Carlson keep to the events in question not over facts that Mr. Mutou was already charged with Ten years ago." Aknankanon said already annoyed.
"Yes Your Honour....Mr. Sananda where were you when the accused was supposably trailing your cousins?" Mr. Carlson said. Ryo sighed.
"I was at work. I work at a training dojo with another one of my friends Rowen Hashiba. I was looking through appilicates that wanted to join our dojo when I recieved a call from Yugi Mutou. He said that his friends Yami and Atemu Sennen were giving them a ride home when they were suddenly rammed from behind." Ryo said.
"Could you point the person out in this courtroom who rammed your cousins and their friends?" Mr. Carlson asked. Ryo nodded and pointed at his uncle. "Note the witness pointed at the accused." He adressed the jury. He went back to questioning Ryo.
"According to statements from your friends you had a system. One of you would be home, one at work, and one would pick up the boys, the other would drop them off. Why the change of plans the day of the incident?" Mr. Carlson asked smiling.
"The one picking them up that day my other friend Cye was stuck in traffic. Yami and Atemu offered them a ride home, so they called Cye to ask them if it was okay when they hung up, Cye called me to tell me. I figured that since there was no news of my uncle, I thought i would give the boys a little freedom of not having to ive in fear if only for a few minutes." he said glancing sadly at Yugi. Mr Carlson paced.
"What about afterwards?" he asked.
"When I got Yugi's call his voice full of fear...I didn't even think about calling the police all I thought about was the boys. When Cye and I arrived at the crash, I freaked. Yami and Atemu injured and so was Heba, Yugi was nowhere to be found. I called an ambulance and Rowen. We arrived at the hospital and a few hours later Yugi called me. He had managed to escape his father, I picked him up and took his to the hospital, where I learned the extent of Yugi's injuries. The next morning my friend Sage Date came in and apologize for the way he was treated me when he found out that ten years ago I had to take the boys away to be safe from my uncle. When we heard a noise next door in the room where Yami and Atemu were, we rushed in and saw my uncle attacking my two friends. My uncle pushed Sage, Rowen,and Cye out the room leaving me and the Sennen brothers alone. I started backing away from him cause I knew if I used my karate skills in the room i would break the machines that were keeping the boys hydrated as they slept. I saw a needle half full with sedatives, i grabbed it and used it on my uncle when he started to choke me." Ryo explained.
"No further questions your Honour." Mr. Carlson said as he sat down. He was furious. His client lied. Ryo Sanada and the others told the truth about what had happened during the events in question. Their stories fit the evidence.
"We'll have an hour recess." Aknankanon said as he banged his gavel. Ryo sighed and stepped down from the stand and collasped in his chair beside Yugi. Yugi noticed Ryo's hands were slightly shaking. 'All this with our father has him really shaken. I guess me and Heba weren't the only ones who feared him.' he thought.
After recess it was time to pass a verdict. "Have you reached a Verdict?" Aknankanon asked. One jury member stood.
"We have Your Honour. We find Samuel Mutou on first degree murder...guilty." The Juruor said.
"On the charge of Attempted Murder........Guilty." You could hear and feel the relief from Ryo's side of the courtroom.
"Mr. Mutou you are sentenced to 20 years in Solitary confinment. Case is Dismissed." Aknankanon said dismissing everyone. Ryo collasped in his chair in relief.
"It over its finally over." He whispered. Sage wrapped his arms around him.
"Yes it is." Sage said
