His family never approved of his relationship with boys. So when he announced he was planning to marry Yuugi, they jumped down his throat and called him foul names. His mother started crying. Yami, for the life of him, couldn't figure out why his family was acting this way. If he was happy, did it matter whether his lover was a boy or girl? Then his family presented him with an ultimatum. Yuugi or family. Which to choose? The family that loved him as a child or the man that loved him now?

Needless to say, there was no choice.
