~*A/N*~ Guys the internet In the west coat in Canada went out for like 6 hours last night. I was like BRUH! So I couldn't update, But I update this story everyday and I don't plan on ending it soon. P.S.  I actually hated writing this chapter and felt very sad by the end of it. I don't know if its cause i was listening to depressing music, but I almost teared up. Anywizzle! Enjoy!


I let my eyes drift open slowly. I was laying on the grass with faces surrounding me. I couldn't focus while everything was spinning and warping into different patterns around me. The last thing I remembered was getting knocked back. I felt arms pulling me up trying to get me to stand. I wobbled around before I caught my balance. I looked up to see Joey and Maya holding my arms over their shoulders. I glanced everywhere trying to find Yami. My eyes found him as Anzu was wiping my face with a tissue. My nose was still bleeding and I winced at her touch. Yami was standing far away with his eyes locked on me. From what I could tell he was shaking furiously. I pulled my arms from Maya and Joey and ran over to him stumbling everywhere as I did crashing into his chest face first. I screamed as my nose smashed into him and started bleeding again. 'Smooth, Yugi.' I started giggling again hugging him using my arms to hold myself up. "My hero." I giggled as I looked up at Yami. He was staring at me with wide eyes with tears running down his face. I grabbed his face and smiled. "Don't cry." More tears fell from his eyes. 

"I'm so sorry." He was whispering. "I can't forgive myself. I hurt the only person I truly care about." I leaned up to kiss his cheek my  words extremely slurred.

"I told you I would give you a thousand chances if it meant I could be with you." I felt him scoop my legs up and carry me inside. I struggled when we reached the kitchen so he put me down. I poured another, yes another, shot. Yami reached out to take it from me but hesitated.

"I-. I think you've had enough." I grabbed his hand and placed the glass in it. 

"You haven't." I pouted when he didn't take it making his body twitch. Then in a swift motion he swallowed the shot. I ran my hands up his chest all the way to his face and pulled my sleeve down wiping his nose from the drugs that remained. He stared at me and I just gave him a sad smile. I didn't think Yami had a drug addiction, no I wanted to believe he didn't, but he probably hasn't slept in a week . I grabbed his hand and led to him to the bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed and I straddled his hips. I kept my gaze locked onto his while placing my hands on his jaw. Now that I wasn't as drunk I could articulate words, though I still had a permanent smile while I hallucinated on everything. 

"Do you want my help?" He eyes widened and his face went hard. He tried to look away but I held him so he couldn't escape. "Please. Let me help you." He started to breathe heavy and began shaking. He nodded and placed his hands on my sides. I pulled his face into mine as we fell back in the bed. Our lips connected and this time I explored his mouth with my tongue. I wanted to savour this moment knowing Yami to not be the submissive type. He let me dominate him, maybe because he was vulnerable right now, sliding my tongue over every inch his mouth. I could feel my heart racing against his. I pulled off to see his checks stained with tear marks as more fell from his eyes. I could see now how much he had been suffering. He was waiting for someone to reach out to him. Help him deal with the emotional baggage he carried. He was dealing with it the only way he could, by finding a way to push it out. 'Just like me' I felt my chest tighten I started to cry. I kissed his face and neck trying to comfort him anyway I could. He lifted up from the bed burrowing his face into my chest as he sobbed. 

"I love you." I wrapped my arms around him as tight as I could. 

"I love you too." We crawled into the bed under the covers and cuddled. I felt him tug at my jacket trying to remove it. I panicked and grabbed his hands pulling them away. I felt horrible and disgusting. He opened himself up to me completely, but I couldn't let him see my body. He was already going through so much. I couldn't make him worry about me. I could feel him watching me as I squeezed my eyes shut praying he would just let it go, but Yami was not like me. 

"You aren't uncomfortable?" I pulled my self closer to him. I just shook my head into his neck. I could hear him open his mouth to say something and I clutched him harder. He wrapped his arm over me. "Sorry aibou." I felt a couple more tears become lost in his shirt. 

"Mou... Hitori no... Boku." I faded into blackness as he stroked my hair soothing my to sleep. 

I woke up to Yami opening the curtains and the sun blinding me. I grunted loudly to make sure he heard. He chuckled at me before ripping the covers off me. I leaned up flinching at the pain the surrounded my whole body. My mouth was so dry. Yami sat down beside me and rubbed my cheek.

"Are you okay aibou?" His eyes held a serious concern in them. I was about to answer when suddenly I felt sick. 'Oh god' I grabbed my mouth smacking my nose slightly and crying out as I did making me forget about the sick feeling. "I'm so sorry Yugi." I gazed at Yami to see his sad expression. He was still upset that he hurt me. 

"Stop. I'm over it so you should be over it." My tone was so harsh Yami backed up a bit after hearing it. "I need water". Yami passed me a jar that sat on the end table full of water and gave me a gentle smile. I grabbed it from so fast I almost spilled it. It was as if I had never drank water before because I drank all of it in a matter of seconds. I returned the jar to the end table flopping onto the bed afterwards placing my arm over my eyes. 

"Little cranky are we?" I let out a sharp laugh.

"You have no idea." He chuckled at me before lifting my arm to kiss me. 

"Let's go downstairs and get you some breakfast." It took all of my energy to get out of bed, but with Yami's help I managed. We had fallen asleep on the bottom floor instead of the fourth which I was damn thankful for. I sat down at the kitchen table with my hands on my head as Yami opened the fridge and placed some pasta into the microwave. He placed another jar of water beside me and I gratefully drank it all. Joey and Maya came in the sliding glass door covered in dirt, both of their hair was ruffled. They both sat at the table Maya laying her head in her arms and Joey laying his hands onto his forehead. They didn't speak clearly feeling the exact same way I did. Yami turned to them leaning against the island. 

"What the hell happened to you guys?" He said gently noticing how lifeless everyone was. 

"Me and Maya got into a 'fist fight'. I just let her wail onto me until I got frustrated and I pushed us down into the garden and passed out." Yami suppressed a laugh. 

"I seriously have absolutely no memory of it." Maya spoke so softly. 

"So much for knowing your limit eh?" Joey was staring at her, but Maya just stared at the table with half open eyes, clearly not having the energy to even retort. Yami placed the plate of food in front of me and poured himself a cup of coffee before joining us at the table. We all sat in silence for a few minutes until Yami realized I hadn't taken a bite from my dish. 

"Yu-" I cut him off already knowing what he was going to say.

"I know Yami. I'll try but I don't think I can eat this." He smirked and returned to his coffee. I took two bites and felt my stomach flip flop inside and violently pushed it away from me. I groaned and shoved my face into my hands. I have never felt this gross in my life.

"Do any of you want coffee?" Yami said gesturing to his cup. We all groaned yes in unison. Yami chuckled in a low voice and poured a few more cups before brewing another pot. He placed the cups down in front of us and brought cream and sugar on to the table. I reached for the sugar and placed two scoops in my cup and stirred as the clanking of spoon irritated everyone including myself. We sat there for a couple of hours enjoying the quiet as we drank our coffee talking about events from last night. 

"Yugi, why the hell were you laughing for like 3 hours straight?" Maya was looking at me, now relaxed back in her chair. I lifted my head from my hands to meet her gaze. 

"I. Was. Trippin'." They all burst out in laughter to my out of character comment.

"Don't drink anything the hippies give you on the dance floor!" Maya was still laughing. "Is that why you were rubbing the island when I came in last night?" 

"Yes. It felt silky smooth." Again, they started laughing. Our quiet was ruined when Tristan and Duke come bellowing down the stairs arguing about something. Thankfully we were all almost back to our regular selves. They both grabbed a cup of coffee and joined us at the table. 

"Yugi, you gunna eat that?" I looked down at the plate of pasta that was probably cold by now. 

"Hell no." I slid it towards Tristan who did not care that it was cold and scarfed it down. We heard the glass door sliding open and turned to see who it was. Anzu walked through the door and the whole room went tense. She sat down at the table beside me ignoring the harsh glare Yami was giving her. A sharp pain ran through my nose. I put my hands up to my face to see it was bleeding again. Making Yami feel guilty again. 'Stupid nose!' Now Anzu was glaring at Yami. She grabbed some tissue wiping my face as I winced at the pain. 

"I would never hurt you Yugi." Ironically not realizing she was causing me great pain at this very moment. Yami hissed under his breath. I know she was saying it to piss him off, but instead it really just pissed me off. 

"Yeah that's why you almost bitch slapped me yesterday when I rejected you." She stopped wiping my face dropping the tissue on the floor. Everyone's eyes grew as they felt the situation about to turn hostile.

"Who the hell are you!? When did you become such an asshole?!"  She stood up gripping her fists. 

"Someone who is incredibly hungover, and is sick of you starting fucking drama." I looked at her and hissed like a cat before relaxing back in my chair. Everyone failed to suppress there laughter at my hiss which made Anzu even more angry. 

"He's no good for you Yugi! You can do better than that drug addict!" 'That drug addict?' I've never been more angry in my life at someone's words. My body moved as fast as humanly possible as I snapped up swinging my arm towards the door and screamed at the top of my lungs. 

"GET THE FUCK OUT!" My shreak apparently scared everyone senseless as they all jumped and Anzu bawled her eyes out like I was the bad guy.  I opened the sliding door grabbing her arms and tossed her out the door as she tripped on the lip and fell to the ground. I didn't fell any remorse. She rolled over and sat on the ground.

"Yugi!" She reached her hand out to me. 

"Fuck off! Stop playing the fucking victim!" I slammed the door shut and picked my phone up off the table blocking her number from my phone. I sat down closing my eyes taking a deep breath. I opened my eyes to see everyone watching me with wide eyes. Maya had her hands pushed together covering her mouth and nose. Even Yami looked at me in shock. 

"She fucked up." Joey said with a smirk . 

Tristan laughed. "Big time!" 

"Remind me to never piss off hungover Yugi!" Joey raised his hands in the air. I giggled before letting out a big sigh. Realizing that I was going to regret that later. I really didn't know if after my actions we could ever be civil with one another again. I closed my eyes reminiscing about the good times we had when we were younger, growing sad knowing I probably had just screwed it all up. I felt a hand on my shoulder and opened my eyes. 

"Thank you Yugi. I would have done the exact same thing." I giggled thinking about how much worse it would have been if Yami had thrown her out. 

"Oh yeah I may have forgot to mention this, but your coming over for dinner tonight." I commanded not giving him any say in the matter. He only chuckled.

"Anything for you aibou." I felt my face light up so I steered the conversation. 

"So, how's your third cup of coffee?" He raised an eyebrow before taking another sip.

"Perfect." I smiled grateful he stopped saying anything else embarrassing In front of everyone. "Just like you." 

'Why!?' I collapsed into my arms on the table while everyone laughed at me. 

We left Yami's at 530 saying our goodbyes to everyone as we made our way to the game shop. We walked up the driveway and stepped into the house. 

"Hello? Grandpa?" Silence. This felt weird. Grandpa jumped at the chance to meet Yami. We made our way through the shop to the desk, but what we saw made us cringe and stutter. I heard Yami grab his mouth and fall back into one of the shelves. I dropped my phone to the floor as my eyes gaped. Grandpa was laying face down on the floor with his eyes open, but no glare visible. His expression was vacant as his laid in his own blood multiple stab wounds covered his body. I screamed so loud I made Yami jump back again my body convulsing as all my muscles tightened. My legs gave out and I dropped down to my knees reaching my shaky hand out to grandpa. I slammed my fists on to the ground screaming and crying. Yami held me so tightly like I would break into a billion pieces if he didn't. After a few minutes I went limp.

"I going to call the police. I not going to let go of you though." I nodded very slowly unable to take my eyes off Grandpa. I could hear Yami talking to someone on the phone but I couldn't hear what they were saying. I could only focus on the thoughts inside my head. 

'It's going to be me next.' A shiver raced down my spine. I let out a gasp when I had an epiphany. 'Or worse. Yami!' I started screaming again. Yami covered my mouth and rubbed his head in my neck while he spoke on the phone.
