Chapter 15

The drive to New York was taking forever and Yugi and Yami were counting cars just to pass the time.

Apparently, they were supposed to get there in an hour. An hour didn't sound so bad…but both Yugi and Yami groaned. Ben just chuckled. They were kids, why should they enjoy a five hour drive? (_ I don't know if it really is five hours, so hopefully I'm kinda close. _)

Yugi was leaning against Yami as they rode in the car. His eyes started to get droopy. Yami smiled and placed an arm around the younger. Yugi then cuddled into him and fell asleep.

"So, what exactly is your name?" Ben asked Yami.

"I'm in your car for a five hour drive, you helped us in a shooting, you're helping Yugi find his origins, but you don't remember my name?" Yami asked clearly humored.

"What can I say, I'm bad at names," Ben replied.

"Well, I'm Yami. And, how do you know Yugi again?"

Ben glanced in the review mirror for a second at Yami before turning back to the road.

"When he was about two years old, his mom and dad were being tracked down by Yugi's dad's side. They were being protected by the Secret Service because of the fact that their ancestors helped America. At first members of the Secret Service were sent to Egypt; I was one of them. Then when Yugi turned four, things got real bad. So, they moved over here with Yugi's grandfather. They had to leave him with his grandfather to protect him. His mom and dad travel a lot on business because it keeps them and Yugi safe."

Ben paused for a moment in his explaining.

"I held Yugi a lot because I was the closest agent to his parents."

Yami's jaw dropped. "So, you know his parents well enough to hold their child?"

Ben nodded. "So I see you're a little fancy there with Yugi too."

"Yea, I love him."

"How did you two meet?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Kid, I'm part of the Secret Service. I think I've seen, and heard, a lot of weird things happen. What you might tell me probably won't be that hard to believe."

Then Yami started to explain everything and after he was done, Ben could barely close his mouth.

"You're serious, Yami?"

"I'm dead serious."

"Ok, you have every single one of my stories beaten, TWICE."

Yami chuckled and continued to talk with the man.

Yugi lay there, pretending to sleep as he continued to listen to the two talking. He was amazed at the story he had just heard, and could now remember some things from the bottom of his memory pile. He could remember Ben's voice telling him that he would protect him and his parents.

Yugi smiled as he heard the two talking and getting along. He decided to seriously sleep and soon fell into a real deep sleep.

"I think he was awake the whole time you told me that story," Yami whispered.

Ben raised his eyebrows. "Wow, he's good at that. He showed that skill when he was four."

Yami chuckled again.

"Oh, wow, we're here," Ben said. "We should have been talking the whole time, because that hour turned into nothing."

Yami nodded in agreement and they went into silence as Ben pulled out off of the highway and onto the busy street.

The sun was setting, so it was good Ben already had a place for the three of them to stay for the night. He had friends here that he had called earlier during the drive. They weren't part of the Secret Service, so he had to lie to them about what was going on. He wasn't a fan of it, but he had to or they would ALL be in danger.

"Ok, we are going to stay with some friends of mine until we can go find the rest of that information in the library here."

Yami nodded and they fell silent again as Ben drove down several streets. He finally stopped and pulled into a drive way of a medium sized house. It had a green roof and shutters while the rest of the outside was beige.

Yami and Ben stepped out of the car and Yami carried Yugi in his arms. Ben walked up to the house and knocked on the door. Yami followed him silently into the house as a woman with a warm smile opened the door.

"Hello, Ben, how have you been?" the woman asked as the two walked into the house.

"I've been fine, how about you, Holly?" Ben replied.

'Holly' had brown eyes and light brown hair. She was dressed in jeans and a blue polo t-shirt.

Holly smiled as she said, "John and I just found out I was pregnant."

Ben smiled and hugged Holly. "Congrats, Holly, and thank you for letting us stay here."

"Oh it's not a problem." Holly turned to Yami and she giggled as she saw Yugi asleep in his arms. "Let me show you one of our guest rooms so that you can make him more comfortable."

Yami followed her to a light blue bed room with a queen sized bed.

"I hope you don't mind sharing a bed," she spoke.

Yami shook his head. "No, it's fine, thank you."

She smiled. "Whoever said kids were losing their manners were wrong, and they never meet you."

Holly left with her warm and greeting smile and Yami walked to the bed. There was a clock sitting beside it on the night stand. It read 9:00pm.

Yami sighed and laid Yugi onto the bed on the younger's usual side.

Yami went downstairs, told the two kind adults he was turning in for the night, and went back into the room

He walked in to find Yugi sitting up and looking confused as he glanced over the room. His attention went to Yami once he heard the door shut. He seemed to relax a bit once he saw Yami.

"Hi, Yami, I got a little freaked out not knowing where I was," Yugi said to him with a little laugh.

Yami smiled and walked over to the bed.

"Sorry, Aibou, but I went to go let Ben and the nice lady, Clare, know I was turning in for the night." Yami climbed into the right side of the bed. Yugi snuggled up against Yami and Yami put his arms around him.

They were soon fast asleep.

Annime: Whatcha think?

Yami: It was good.

Kristy: I liked it.

Yugi: Please review!
