“Who are
you?”
“My name’s
Yami, Yami Atemu. I found Yugi being beaten and you are?”
“His grandfather, Sugoroku. How is he?” Sugoroku said as he took a seat
in a chair that sat next to the bed.
“He’s fine.
Just resting, he’s got a broken clavicle, radius and ulna. They said he can go
home in 2 days. I’m going to see if I can get him out tomorrow.”
“Who did
this?”
“His father.”
“No…he
couldn’t have, he’s sober now.”
“It’s true,
I found him beating Yugi.”
“Well thankyou for finding him. I hope I get full custody again.”
“May I ask,
why did he go back to his father, if you had full custody?”
“Just today
he got it back. A year ago Yugi came to me, cuts and bruises on him. The first
night he went down to the basement to sleep. I had to drag him up to the
bedroom he has now. He was terrified. As soon as he saw his clothes and his
very few books on the bed he ran over and fell asleep. A
gorgeous smile on his bruised face as he slept. It took him a week to
realise that I wasn’t like his father. During that first week if he spilt water
or anything small like that he would become absolutely terrified. His father
turned out to be hitting him if he did anything like that. He told me that he
was called a ‘bad child’ and always needed to be punished and reminded why he
was a ‘bad child’. It took a little longer than the first week to get him to
trust me completely but it was gained. I feel like I let him down. I should
have fought to keep custody over him then none of his would happen.”
“Hey, what’s
done is done. There was no way you could have known. He’s fine now.”
“Yeah, I
guess you’re right.”
“They say
this isn’t the first time Yugi’s been in hospital. Do you know why?”
“Yes, he’s
been here so many times. Deep cuts that somehow heal with no
scar and badly broken bones. His father would wait till he was sober and
then bring him in. It got so bad where Yugi was in here at least once a month.
That’s when the doctors got worried and called the police. Yugi was then placed
with me. His father had excuses for every single injury.”
Yami sat
there listening to everything Yugi’s grandfather said, taking it all in. He
could see why the elder was blaming himself for what happened. He reached out
and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Now he has
you back. His father’s is heading to prison, for child abuse.”
“He is?”
“Yes, he
came in saying that I did it. Yugi said that his father did, while he clung to
my chest. He wasn’t going to let go no matter what. They listened to him and
his father was taken away.”
“Oh, that’s
good news.”
“Uh…Yami who
are you talking to?”
Yugi was
waking up but his vision was blurry. He could only see out lines of whoever was
there.
“Yugi I’m so
glad you’re alright.” A familiar voice said to him.
Yugi could
tell whom it was talking. His vision cleared and he then had a big smile on his
face. He reached forward and wrapped his arms around his grandfather. Yami on
the other hand slipped out from behind Yugi.
“I’m sorry,
my boy. I should have fought to keep you.”
“It’s ok Gramps, it’s not your fault.”
“But…”
“No ‘buts’
Gramps, it’s not your fault. Yami? Where are you
going?” Yugi looked at him curiously.
“I have…”
“Yami, there
you are. We need your help.” A sandy blonde said coming in the door, the same
one from when Yugi was back with Yami.
Yami sighed.
“Do you always have to follow me Marik?”
“Not follow,
track. Come on.” He replied grabbing Yami’s arm.
“Wait. “
Yami turned to Yugi. “I have to go Yugi. I’ll see if I can get the doctor to
let you leave tomorrow. It was nice to meet you Mr Motou.”
“Yes, same here Mr Atemu. I hope to see you around again.” Yami smiled
“Yami,
please meet me tomorrow. Same place and time when we first
met.”
“I will, bye.”
Yami walked
out the door after Marik. Yami spoke to the doctors and they agreed that Yugi
could go home tomorrow. Before Yami and Marik left the
hospital all together.
-
Yugi sat
with his grandfather talking. The nurse came and put a blanket and pillow on
the couch so Yugi’s grandfather could sleep. They continued talking until they
felt tired and went to sleep.
-
“Yami we
have to find him. He’s killing during the day. The cover story won’t last long.
It’s just a good thing it’s not in this city. What do you want to do?” Marik
asked.
“Find him
and remove him from existence, Bakura.” He said to a certain white haired
albino.
“With
pleasure, I’ll enjoy this.” Bakura said evilly.
-
Yugi was
walking home with his grandfather after spending the night in hospital. They
sat in the park for a while talking. It was beautiful. The sun was out and
shining beautifully, planting warm rays of light on everything. The trees were
lovely and green and the leaves rustling as the wind passed by them.
“Hey Yug’.” A voice called
“Hey Jou. How are you?” Yugi called back seeing his friend walking over
with another two. “Hey Honda, Anzu.”
“Hey Yugi.” They both said.
“Hey bud,
what happened to you?” Jou asked.
“Oh, my father. I’m fine.”
“Hey Gramps,
can we steal Yugi from you?” Anzu asked.
“Yeah sure,
why not. I’m heading home, don’t stay out to late.”
“No problem,
we’ll have him back in an hour.”
Yugi’s
grandfather got up and headed home but not before going to the supermarket for
groceries. They needed a few things for dinner and for dinner the night after.
-
Yugi got up
and walked around the park with Jou, Honda and Anzu telling them why he was in
hospital.
“So your
father was staying sober so he could get his punching bag back?”
“Yes and I’m
not a punching bag Jou.”
“I know Yug
that’s what he thinks you are. Boy, if I see him I’m going to give him a piece
of my mind.”
“Yeah, I
agree Jou.” Honda said.
“No, I don’t
want you involved guys.”
“Yug’ he’s
hurt you for so long and now we are involved.”
“But the
last thing I want is to get my best friends hurt.”
“Yugi’s
right guys, you could get hurt. Just let the police handle it.”
“Alright,
come on we better get you home Yug’.” Yugi nodded and they all headed to the
game shop.
Upon
arriving Yugi found the door still locked and no lights on. ‘That’s strange I
thought Gramps was heading home. He must have stopped for food.’ “Let’s go
around back. You can stay for a while if you want guys?”
“Yeah alright.”
They headed
around the back of the shop through the back door. Once Yugi
unlocked it with the spare key under a rock near the door. They headed
in, going upstairs and grabbed some food and sat in the lounge room watching a
movie.
-
It was 6pm
when it finished and they tidied up, before leaving.
“Thanks Yug.
That was fun. You take it easy with the shoulder, ok?”
“Yeah I
will. See you later.”
“I hope your
grandfather back soon, he’s been gone a while.” Anzu said looking around the
buildings outside.
“I’m sure
he’s on his way home now. Be careful on the way home guys.” Yugi said standing
in the front door of the shop.
“We will,
see ya.” They called before each going separate ways
home.
Yugi closed
the door, locking it and closed up the rest of the house. Gramps had his own
key, so he could get in. Yugi started making himself a sandwich, as he didn’t
know when his grandfather was going to be home.
-
Jou was
walking home when he saw police cars and an ambulance in front of him.
‘Someone’s
hurt?’ he thought.
He walked
towards it to find that they were covering up the face of an old man.
“Gramps!” Jou screamed.
The police
looked straight at him and walked over.
“Is he your
grandfather?”
“No, it’s my
friend’s grandfather. He told me and my friends to call him that.” Jou had
tears running down his face. “What happened?”
“He was
murdered.”
Jou nodded
then turned and took off back to Yugi’s place. The police chased after him but
they lost him. Jou ran flat out to the shop. He pounded on the door.
“Yug, open up.”
Lights
flickered on in the shop and the door opened. “Jou what’s wrong?” Yugi asked
opening the door.
“Yugi your…your grandfather’s been murdered.”
Yugi’s blood
ran cold, when he heard the words leave Jou’s mouth.
He fought back tears as he wasn’t going to cry in front of his friend. Yugi’s
world was falling apart. He lost his mother; he lost his father way before his
mother and now lost his grandfather. He set it aside and looked at Jou.
“Yug’ come
on. I’m not leaving you here all alone.” Jou said taking Yugi’s hand.
“No, I’m not
alone. Yami, a friend, he’s coming over. It’s ok, I’m
going to be fine. You better get home. Please, be careful Jou. I don’t
want to lose you too.”
“Promise you
won’t do anything drastic then I will. I know you don’t like anyone seeing you
cry.”
“I promise
Jou.”
“Alright. I’m coming by in the morning at first light.”
“Ok,
goodnight Jou.”
Jou left
back down the street quickly. Yugi shut and locked the door and turned off the
light to the shop. He walked back up the stairs to the kitchen. It was now
7:30. Yugi was now shaking uncontrollably. He slid down the kitchen wall and
onto the cold tiles. He brought his knees to his chest and cried. At that point
he had forgotten all about the fact that Yami was coming. He cried and cried
and cried.
‘I don’t
believe it. Gramps is gone. He’s really gone. I’m all alone now. What am I
going to do? Gramps is gone.” Yugi thought while he cried.
-
Yami looked
at his watch and nodded. It was now 8pm, the time he first met Yugi. Yami
disappeared in a cloud of smoke from his house to Yugi’s bedroom. Yami looked
around the room for Yugi but he wasn’t there. Yami could hear someone crying
somewhere else in the building. Yami opened the door to Yugi’s room and was met
with a small hallway. He walked out and the crying became louder. He walked
down the hallway that started at the kitchen.
‘The person
that is crying, is in this room.’
Yami looked
around and spotted Yugi on the ground, on his side, knees to his chest and
crying in them. Yami walked over and sat next to him. Yugi didn’t even notice
his presence. He placed a hand on his shoulder. It was then Yugi looked up at
him.
“Yugi, what’s
wrong?”
Yugi said
nothing, he just cried into his knees again. Yami slide his arms around Yugi
and pulled him into his lap. Yugi then buried his face in Yami’s shirt and
cried. Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi and rocked him backwards and forwards.
Trying his best to calm him down.
It was ten
minutes before Yugi calmed down enough to talk.
“Gramps
he’s…he’s…dead.”
Yugi’s body
shook once again as he spoke. Fresh tears rolling down his
face. Yami just held him tighter.
“Oh Yugi,
I’m so sorry.” Yami said giving him a big hug. “Come on, let’s get you into
bed.”
Yami stood
with Yugi in his arms and walked back to Yugi’s room. He pulled the sheet back
and laid him down on the bed. Removed his shoes and jacket and then pulled the
sheet back over him. Yami grabbed the chair that sat in front of the desk and
sat down next to Yugi. It took ten minutes for Yugi to slowly cry himself to
sleep.
