Chapter One

Yugi... Yu-Gi-Oh... The King of Games....

It didn't matter what the Angel called himself...

He was amazing, beautiful, awe inspiring.

No, forget those, they were too ordinary for the young deulist. There was nothing that would ever compare to that small passonite spiky haired Angel.

Yugi raced faster and faster, and counted each slap his feet made against the pavement. Heclutched at the brown leather strap in his hands, the solid gold puzzle at the end of it a slightly comfortable weight.

He had to get home, fix the strap, shower, he had to get clean, but he doubted he could...

He shoved people out of his way, for once not caring if he hurt anyone; unconsciously becoming like the way Yami used to be, the way Yami remembered himself.

He ran as fast as he could but came to a halt when he saw his grandfather's game shop. Seeing it made him hesitant to go home as it made him think of his Mother and Grandfather.

How pure they were...

Who were so clean...

Was he even worthy of being with them anymore?

He stood frozen on the sidewalk, thoughts whirling through his head faster and faster, and he didn't have Yami to help him right now, and he was so confused, and he kept checking behind him, waiting for more screams, or the flashing lights that he knew would come for him, but he didn't want them to get his Mom or Grandfather, he couldn't let them get them.

And he didn't want to get them himself, he was so dirty, so useless...

He wrapped his arms around himself, his Millenium Puzzle's heavy weight swinging into his side. He hugged himself tighter and nearly screamed as his hand fell on something slightly sticky.

He started to run again, the need for a shower, the need to feel slightly clean taking over everything else.

He started counting again, praying the task would keep him from screaming. If he hadn't felt so dead he would have smiled as he jumped the steps to his house, banging into his door before throwing it open and making a b-line to the shower...

He jumped into the shower and slammed the glass door shut not even bothering to remove his clothes first as he turned the water on as hot as it would go...

He quickly striped and pulled his puzzle as close to him as it could get and still let him look at it...

He sat on the floor of his shower and scrambled to get the puzzle together from when it had slammed into the wall and some of the pieces had gotten mixed. He started to cry as he looked at the puzzle in his hands.

/Yami.. Please, I need you..../

He finally managed to snap the last piece in place then scrambled for his shirt, he popped on of the buckles on the ruined leather shirt and pulled out the golden eye of Ra that had actually been knocked of and pressed it into the puzzle which glowed brightly for a moment. His tears mixed with the hot water that rushed down on him as he quickly re tied the leather strap and slid it around his neck.

He could feel Yami again, who was extremely disoriented. He hugged the Puzzle to his chest tightly, ignoring the biting pain of the corners digging through his flesh, making blood flow.

//Yugi.. What happened?//

Yugi started to cry even harder, his sobs digging the Puzzle deeper into his flesh causing more blood to flow.

/Yami.. Help me.../

There was a flash of light from his Puzzle and then Yami was beside him, holding him tightly while uncurling his clenched body from the puzzle so he wouldn't continue to cut himself.

"Yugi, Aibou, what happened? What happened after the Puzzle broke?"

Yugi looked up at him, his eyes even wider then they normally were and Yami felt his heart break into pieces. His velvety violet eyes looked absolutely shattered. He stared deeper into Yugi's eyes and nearly screamed himself when he saw the events that had unfolded.

He clutched Yugi tighter, letting the smaller boy cry his heart out as the hot water cascaded down around them in the clothes strewn shower...

They would pay for hurting his Aibou...

Yugi had finally fallen asleep and Yami washed him, careful to get all the blood off.

He wrapped a towel around Yugi and carried him out to his bed room and laid Yugi down.

He pulled the covers over the boy then dug some clothes out for himself and dressed...

He double checked to make sure his Aibou would be all right for a few moments then raced to the front door, shutting it from when Yugi had left it open. He made sure to lock it then looked around for his Mom and Grandpa, finding only a note that said they'd been invited last minute to a party and where currently there.

He went back up stairs and cleaned out the shower, getting rid of the ruined leather clothes but saving all the buckles and straps.

Yami grabbed the Duel Monsters deck out and checked to make sure the cards were OK in their water tight pouch that usually was settled at Yami's and Yugi's waist...

He had lost the Dark Magician in the ally and was a little miffed about it, but he had a spare...

He then went back to Yugi's room and slide into bed beside the shivering boy, placing the deck on the nightstand.

Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi, smiling lightly as he curled into him and stopped shivering as much. The smile turned wicked as he viewed the deck again, he grasped at the identicle puzzles hanging around his and Yugi's necks and stared into the black holes of the eyes....

Revenge would be sweet...

Dearly.

End Chapter One.

Well what do you think so far?
