-------------------------------------------------

The dark dreams that haunted Yami seemed to have disappeared that night as he held his aibou in his arms on the bed they slept. (A/N: Don't worry they didn't do anything… yet) As if the presence of Yugi had chased them away and to be frank though he had a good night sleep. A tickling sensation rubbed against his neck. A frown upon his face he held onto the little body to stay in the for once wonderful dream he was having. Sighing he gave in to consciousness and opened his eyes to stare at cute green eyes of his tabby cat Tenshi who mewled at him expectantly. A lopsided smirk curved on his face as he turned to the figure by his side. Yugi lay curled in a comfy ball, his left hand in a loose fist whilst his right hand lay limp upon the white sheets. Yami smiled happily as he's hikari slept but he hated himself for he was going to have to wake Yugi up, it was a school day. He gently nudged Yugi who shifted a little before rubbing his eyes. "It's time to wake up…" Yugi stared at his Yami with his huge violet, childlike eyes before he gave a polite smile and forced himself out of bed. He padded towards the bathroom and went into the shower whilst Yami sat and gathered his thoughts. Tenshi was resting on his lap as he stroked her absently. A lot had happened to Yugi what with his negligence, Tea's insults and tricks, Gabrielle and the Kaiyan and then there was Solomon's death. Yami swallowed the lump in his throat as he turned to gaze at the door that led to the shower where his hikari was washing.

******YAMI POV**********

Tea was right about someone being a burden but it's not Yugi. `I'm' the burden. Grr… This is wrong… I should be the one protecting him, the one looking out whenever he was unhappy, I should have been taking care of him yet… everything I did just made things worse for him in his life and he did everything he could to make me happy. Sometimes I wonder if he was better off without me. I see Tenshi staring at me as I smile sadly to her. She's been such a great friend, a companion that would always keep me comforted in times of sorrow. Everything is such a mess and Yugi's life has been turned completely upside down. I'm really frightened of what it'll do to him, change him to someone I could hardly recognise as that sweet boy that I first met. His soul is so pure and now because of me, it's going to be tainted. Scarred. I can't let this happen…

*******NORMAL POV*****

Yami was dragged out of his thoughts as Yugi emerged from the shower, his face tinted red from the heat and his spike hair had drooped slightly from the weight of the water. Yugi smiled sheepishly as he moved out of the way for Yami's turn. The Turtle Game Shop was to be closed that day so Yami would spend the day at school with Yugi in his soul room.

--------------------------------------------------

For the next few weeks everything seemed to go back to normal however the consequences of recent events had left a few scars, some deeper than others. Yugi, Yami and their friends had gathered around the grave along with Solomon's other relations as they each stood in silence listening to the sermon of the priest as the summer shower rained upon them as if in hope to wash away the scars they had in their hearts. They all watched as the coffin was lowered down to the deep hole dug below as a new tombstone was planted next to it. There, the inscription upon the black marble with gold writing. `In loving memory of Solomon Moutou 1940-2003 Rest in peace old friend, father and grandfather. Our love will always be with you' . Each person with a white flower in their hand threw it into the grave paying their respects as they left. Yugi knelt down over the new soil that had covered in a heap as more wreaths and flowers were laid around it. Yami stood behind him as he saw that very same image of his dream replayed in his mind. A single tear rolled down the angel's cheek as each and every person around him had someone to hold, someone to comfort them. Yami stared at the kind smile of Solomon Motou's picture upon the tombstone and as if it seemed that Solomon Motou had appeared in the distance of a little hill just above the horizon towering above the pretty cemetery with that same warm smile. A smile that meant to Yami that he was forgiven and that he was passing his responsibility of protecting Yugi to him and with that his spirit faded away to passing over to a new life. Yami turned and saw himself in the scenario he had seen in his dream. But this time it was going to be different. This time, Yugi wasn't going to be alone. Yami knelt down beside the little one and cupped his face to look at him. Eyes red from crying as Yami wiped the remaining tears from Yugi's face. Neither said a word. Neither of the them had to. Yami smiled as he wiped more tears that had flowed from his hikari's eyes. A smile that had been passed down to him. //You're never gonna be alone my hikari… I'll make sure of it…// Yami said through their mental link. Yugi couldn't help but smile back happily for he was going to be there with him and to care for him. He wrapped his small arms tightly around Yami's neck as his face buried into his chest whilst Yami held him tightly rocking a little gently as Yugi's hair brushed his cheek.

---------------------------------------------------

School went on as normal but as it was the students had never looked at Yugi the same way. Some pitied him, others would sneer at his `addiction' but most of them would just pretend he wasn't there.

"Oh look… there's the junkie" were some of the insults raised by different students. Joey would then defend Yugi with a witty retort back at the kid that insulted his friend. Apart from the few insults there hadn't been much bullying lately however being ignored was a feeling worse than anything Yugi had ever had before and having the bitch around with her taunts and her hypocritical friendship speeches was playing a major part in the new level of `low'. Even some of the teachers had changed around him. They had always respected him as a good, hardworking student but now seemed to look down at him as if he was a smudge on a clean piece of paper. The more stricter teachers would keep him at the corner of their eyes to catch any false move, which meant he couldn't talk to his friends behind their backs. The only people that still stuck by him were Joey, Ryou, Malik and Tristan. With their experiences that night weeks before the three of them had changed. Ryou had become more confident in standing up in class and against bullies at times though he found he couldn't use the abilities he had used against the snake men those weeks ago. Joey and Tristan were more level headed than they used to be. Joey in particular, whether it was because Serenity had decided to stay over for the summer holidays or something else, either way Joey was a lot less hot headed. This would seem as a good change however there were some changes that Yugi found to be less encouraging.

Seto was a lot colder towards Joey than in the past. He used to insult him with puppy jokes and other things but now… he never said a word to him in fact he ignored Joey most of the time. Perhaps his encounter with Joey's demon look-alike had severely affected him in some way however it was unsure to determine whether the lack of insults were good or bad. Joey however never let that fact get to him and Yugi was somewhat glad for that. Yami had been a lot of support whenever times got tougher than usual especially at lunchtime where the other students were going around taunting Yugi and his `drug problem'. This wasn't helped by the fact that Tea was the driving force among them and somehow she and her ditzy friends had set up a club about it. Yami always got furious with the gangs and threatened to send them all to the Shadow Realm, which Yugi had begged not for him to do. Fortunately, the game shop had been up and running again and therefore keeping his Yami occupied. (Even though there weren't many customers). It was a few more weeks before the summer holidays, exams had all finished, so there was little work to do. The talk now was mostly about the summer dance on the last day and everyone was busy asking around for dates. The five friends were amongst the crowds looking rather dismal for the fact that none of the girls around was really interested with `a junkie' and his friends or that was what they were called now. To put it simply. They were going through Hell…

---------------------------------------------------

It was as if time had slowed down as the weeks dragged on and Yami was starting to get worried about his hikari. Lately Yugi had come home later than usual, in fact he hardly ever saw him much and whenever he did Yugi would look tired and worn, his voice a little hoarse as if he had been shouting a lot. Yugi dismissed his attempts to get him to talk to him of any problems that he's been having at school and somehow he felt he was failing Solomon of his promise to take care of his hikari. Every night he would sneak into Yugi's room to see him sleep peacefully whilst he stroked his hair.

"Mueh…" Tenshi whispered as she cracked one sleepy eye open.

"Sorry Tenshi…" Yami whispered as he stared at the little angel. Tenshi glanced at her younger master then curled back to sleep. Yami sighed. "Oh Yugi, why won't you tell me what's wrong? Am I not taking care of you well enough? I know I can't possibly replace Grandpa… I just… wish you'd tell me what I'm doing wrong… then I could try and improve what ever I'm doing…" those were the thoughts that Yami had to listen to himself say every night and the reply would be a sigh from the little angel.

Another gruelling Monday began as Yami had prepared breakfast and Yugi's lunch. Yugi would smile gratefully and hug him afterwards and leave for school. Yami stared as he watched the child run down the path and disappearing round the corner. It was going to be another boring day as he would stand at the shop. A few customer went window-shopping, a couple bought a couple of cards but apart from that… Yami was bored. After the customers left the empty shop he sighed as he idly stroked Tenshi who had decided to take an afternoon nap. Yami then had a thought and immediately went to close the shop to go to his soul room and check how his aibou was doing at school. It was around lunchtime and Yami could see that Yugi and his friends were hanging out near the football grounds watching some of the other students play whilst they hung around at the spectator benches. They were about to leave as Yami noticed one of the cheerleaders and his lips curled in disgust as the `bitch' decided to approach the group with a few quarterbacks lumbering after her. One of them, the obvious leader had wrapped his arms around her waist declaring that they were going out. Tea smirked a little as she had her the football team block the groups' way. This caused a crowd to gather as they were looking for a beating to happen.

"Well, well if it isn't little junkie Yugi" Tea taunted. "You know to think that I actually went out with you once really disgusted me" (A/N: No one knows else knows about Yami)

"Back off Tea!!!" Joey growled ready to defend Yugi.

"Hello… I'm talking to the midget not the dumb blond" she hissed. "Honestly… Yugi still letting other people fight your battles for you? Why can't you stand up for yourself?" Anger seethed in Yami's eyes as he growled at the insults. "I bet if none of your `friends' around you'd be crying off to your Grandpa… Oh wait he's dead isn't he? Poor old man must have had to pay the price when you couldn't pay up for the drugs you were taking eh?" That insult stabbed at Yugi in the heart as he swallowed his pride and his tears. Yami's hands clenched tightly into fists as other students began to jeer and added into the insults. Tea leaned down to inspect any coming tears. "Oh look… looks like little Yugi's about to cry… Go on cry…" with that the members of the football team and her new boyfriend began to chortle with laughter.

SLAP!!!!

The students stood in silent shock as Tea was found on the floor. She looked up a red mark developing on her face. She touched at it gingerly wincing at the sting before she looked up. Yugi stood glaring dangerously, not Yami, Yugi. His hand raised.

"That's for what happened at the arcade…" Yugi whispered to her making sure no one else heard. Tea hissed.

"You little-" but she was stop short from his eyes burrowing down at her. A fiery defiance, a break from the shell of the innocent boy that she had once tried to break with her tricks.

"Little what?" a dangerous hiss came from him. He was clearly taking no crap and a strange reason Tea found she was afraid. Very afraid. Her boyfriend was going to the rescue but was stopped when Yugi turned his glare upon him paralysing him to the spot.

"I suggest you choose your dates more wisely… she's not one to be around" he said simply as he walked on and amazingly the students had separated a path for them to walk through.

----------------------------------------------------

Yami couldn't believe it. Yugi had stood up for himself on his own that day and to his amazement, many of the students had stopped taunting him whenever Yugi stared back. His gaze was putting Seto's glare into competition and coupled from that slap on Tea, the students appeared to be afraid of him. The lonely evenings had come again as Yugi came home late. Yami had tried to find out for himself but found that Yugi had blocked him where ever he went after school until he actually got home and much as Yami didn't want to shout at his beloved hikari he had to find out what was going on. Yugi with a huge smile came in through the door as Yami waited as always. Yugi sat down to watch TV ignoring the fact that his Yami was watching `him'. Yami took a deep breath and began. "Yugi…"

"Yami… I've got to tell you something…" Yugi interrupted. Yami swallowed.

"What is it…?"

"The school Dance is tomorrow"

"Oh?"

"Well… I was wondering… if… you would… come… with me…" Yugi asked timidly. Yami was shocked and his heart leaped.

"… I…" he was unable to speak.

"It's ok if you don't want to" Yugi said quickly.

"NO, no…" Yami said in a panic. "I… I'd love to…" Yugi smiled brightly and hugged Yami.

"This is going to be so great I promise that" he cried enthusiastically as Yami chuckled. The day had finally come and Yami wore a black loose shirt and trousers with blue cape like top. He waited as his hikari came out. He stared in awe at the simple yet beauty of his attire. Yugi was wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a high collar flaring against his slim neck. Wearing blue trousers and silver armbands, his hair tied back with a bandanna and the locket and the Millennium Puzzle held in place with a silver chain.

"Wow…" was all that Yami could say. Yugi giggled at the stunned silence. "You look… beautiful…" he said admiringly. "You don't look to bad yourself…" Yugi placed a huge childish grin as he linked arms with Yami and half skipped along the way to the dance.

--------------------------------------------------------

The was already a huge crowd of people moving to the beat of the music as Yugi and Yami went inside. The colours of the lights blared in a beautiful pattern of colours as Yugi skipped about whilst Yami grinned at the sight. He looked down at the angel. There stood Joey, Tristan, Serenity, Ryou, Bakura, Malik and Ishtar and off in the distance Seto was looking a little more than a bit bored with a hapless lucky girl who had been one of many who were chasing him around to ask him to be her date. He had not paid any attention to the girl's ravings and talks to her friends; all he could do was stare. Stare at a certain blond dressed in a green tank top. It would have seemed that Seto wanted nothing more to do with Joey but in truth he recently he was thinking about him just every second. He new deep down that Katsuya was lying about Joey and everything yet somehow he had found himself accusing Joey of something he couldn't possibly have done. Maybe Yami was right; Katsuya had messed around with his head a lot and could make him believe just about anything. Either way… a lot of damage had been done, it wasn't as if he and Joey's relationship was exactly friendly but lately the their interaction seemed to have severed completely and in a way… the day felt more emptier than usual. Yugi and Yami were just about to settle down with their friends when they overheard a conversation nearby.

"So anyway… I told her that she just really needed to get some therapy on her fashion tastes…" was the annoying voice of Tea. (A/N: HA WHAT DOES TEA KNOW ABOUT FASHION!?!?) Yami looked anywhere but at the dancer coming towards him with a glass of punch. "Hi Yami… taking the children out to play?" she said. Yami glared at her with a look that could kill her in a second flat.

"Go away…" he growled but clearly she was not taking the hint.

"Why don't we have one dance for old times sake?" she hinted this time Yugi stepped up.

"Don't you have your own date? Or was the guy smart enough to take my advice and ditch you?" he butted, which made way to for the punch in Tea's hand to `accidentally' slip down and spilling onto Yugi's shirt.

"Oops sorry… hope it doesn't `stain'" Tea said prominently as she walked off. Yami narrowed his eyes as the sennen eye started to glow brightly.

"Yami don't!!!" Yugi cried. He looked down at him angrily which made Yugi cringe a little. Realising his mistake he's features softened as he helped Yugi clean up. "I'll go clean the rest up in the bathroom ok?" Yami stopped as Yugi jogged off. Yami sighed sadly as he sat himself down next with his friends finding almost all of them were missing.

"Where is everybody?" Yami asked Serenity.

"Joey, Ryou and Malik went off and didn't come back. Ishtar and Bakura were getting worried and decided to look for them" Serenity replied cheerfully. Yami sighed.

"Well… at least I'm not the only one who's having problems" Shortly afterwards Bakura and Ishtar looking as if about to kill sat down. Serenity smiled.

"Couldn't find them?" she chirped. The two yamis glared at her to, which Tristan reacted by glaring back at them. They noticed Yami worried look.

"Your hikari's missing too eh?" Bakura scowled.

"He told me he went to the bathroom" Yami replied trying to stay calm. Ishtar retorted.

"We just went to check if our hikaris were there but the place was empty…" Now Yami really did panic. He looked all over the place scanning desperately for the trademark tri colours. During his search he had noticed a hand grab him by the arm and made him face to the last person he wanted to see. Tea smiled as she dragged him off to the dance floor, he glared at her and wrenched away but like all the times when they were still a couple he found he could had never managed to get her to let go until the first dance ended and the club lights that blared down on him was a little overbearing for him to take. (A/N: I know he sounds a bit weak but come on… he was stuck in a chunk of gold for 5000 years with no human contact or any other type of social life for that matter) He noticed the glaring looks of the quarterback leader at him as he was led to the dance floor. The song had quickly ended as he finally managed to wrench his arm away from Tea when the sound of feedback coming from the speakers squealed painfully out to he audience.

"Sorry…" The young principle replied as she prepared to make her announcement. She was a pert and headstrong woman in her late 20's with a lock of brown hair tied up in a neat bun whilst loose wispy curls had escaped the bonds and hung down her face.

"Erhem… first I'd like to say commemorations that your exams are finally over and I know I shouldn't be here to spoil your well deserved celebration… but as you all know there have been rumours about certain students in this school but have yet to be proven as true. Therefore I would like to clarify with the true account and hopefully eliminating any thoughts and discriminations you've had towards them" she looked over to a someone hiding behind the curtains as a timid figure emerged from the shadow followed by three others. The principle held the microphone to the Yugi as he scanned the area of the thousands of eyes watching him. He smiled thankfully at the head of the school as she left the stage for him. Taking a deep breath…

"I know there have been lots of things being said about me and I guess if I just said I wasn't taking drugs. You'd all say I was lying right? Well… I'm not gonna even try to argue back… I have one other thing to say and that is the fact that I am different lately not because of drugs but… just seeing things slightly differently and I owe that new experience to someone really `special'. So me and my friends have come up with a song for it…" This earned a groan from the adoring public and Yami was fuming at the jeering.

"I bet it's gonna be a little choirboy song!!!" jeered one of Tea's girl friends.

"Get off the stage!!!" someone else shouted as the rest of the faculty started to laugh. The group ignored the taunts.

"Anyway this is dedicated to that `special' person… The songs for you… Tea" Tea looked shocked as the group set up the back track. Joey placed the backtrack tape into the huge tape player but and pressed play. At that instant voices burst into laughter on the speakers as the audience looked incredulously whilst the group looked confused. The laughter from the girls died down as one of them clearly recognisable as one of Tea's friends spoke up.

"Anyway Tea… how come you keep sticking up for that twerp!!!"

"Just so I can impress those dumb ass quarterbacks who just as well would toss their brains out of the window if they had one…" she teased. The quarterbacks glared at the dancer as Yami sniggered a little.

"So is Yugi really taking drugs…?"

"I don't know… but that day at the arcade… I went to him `Yugi your nothing but a burden to your friends and everyone'… and for a minute there he looked like he was about to cry… but the little shrimp just told me to shove off, thinking his all that… I mean come on… your under 4 ft get a reality check. Anyway… I guess he must be having a fit when he took out these brown prescription pills or something like that… then that was the chance to humiliate him. I just snatched them away and went crowing out that it was drugs… and you know the public… just say something out loud and they take it face value…" the recording was cut short by Joey who shouted.

"WHOOPS WRONG TAPE!!!" (A/N: Sure Joey… sure) At this time though the people were all staring at Tea. Yugi silently smiled.

********FLASHBACK***********

(A/N: This was during that conversation at the café…) Tenshi had found Yugi come home from school escorted by Solomon. She ran up to him and let him slip a small microphone under her collar and with that she left. Tenshi had found Tea talking with her girl friends and hid whilst the device back at home in Yugi's house recorded every word said.

*****END FLASHBACK*********

Tea was looked around her as she took short deep breaths, her eyes darting from one student to the next. Joey replaced the real back track tape as the music intro began at an easy pace. Joey quickly went back to his position as lead guitar whilst Ryou was on keyboard, Malik was on drums and Yugi was on base with the microphone close to his lips. The audience looked up listening as the Yugi went into first verse.

(Sam: I don't own `Like a Pill' Yami: You already said that… Sam:…)

#I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me

I think I took too much

I'm crying here, what have you done?

I thought it would be fun#

(Music Revs up)

Prechorus

#I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can…

Chorus…

#Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill#

#I haven't moved from the spot where you left me

This must be a bad trip

All of the other pills, they were different

Maybe I should get some help#

Prechorus

#I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

#Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill#

#Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill#

#I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

#Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill#

The song had stopped with the entire audience cheering as the four muscians stood there the moment that Tea had ran out of the hall in a fit of curses along with some of her friends that were with her at the café. Every single sophmore there was glaring at her by this time as she made a hasty exit. The three Yamis stood their mouths gaping wide open at the performance as the group made to get off the stage. Joey smirked as he made his way off the stage with his guitar, Tristan giving the thumbs up to his best friend and Serenity giggled uncontrollably as she hugged her older brother. Seto stared at blond and his sibling whilst a his date droned on to her friends her arms interlocking with his as if they were to be bound together for life.

Yugi bounded to his Yami whilst Ryou stood shuffling his feet bashfully, his pale face hinted with a vigorous tinge of red as his Bakura stared dumbstruck at his aibou's performance. Malik closed his eyes as he walked past his Yami keeping a straight face as if playing in a band was no big of a deal. Ishtar reached out an arm and pulled him in the waist. Malik winced a little at his Yami's roughness who gazed down his lavender eyes intensively as if hoping to bore down his own.

"What is it?" Malik asked irritably disguising the anxiety that Ishtar might hit him. There was a pause before Ishtar finally spoke.

"When did you learn to play the drums" he asked dangerously.

"Ages ago… before I met you… I just… never practised much afterwards" Malik mumbled as if he was awaiting his punishment.

"Why did you stop?" Ishtar replied tilting Malik's face towards him. Malik looked a little more than a bit surprised at his Yami's compliment. "You were really good up there" At this Malik's face went red as a beetroot as the next song was playing and the two of them went to the dance floor. Bakura pulled his hikari closely who giggled still with the red tinge upon his pale face. Yugi had bounded over to Yami who stood there dumbstrucked. Yugi smirked a bit as he looked down on the floor. It took a few minutes for Yami to finally speak.

"So… that's why… you've been away so much… huh?" he whispered.

"Yeah… pretty much" Yugi replied with a smile. "I guess you must be pretty frustrated about me being absent and all…" Yami let out something between a laugh and a cry. Unshed tears of relief and joy started sparkling in his eyes.

"For… a while… I thought…" he swallowed. "that… you never forgiven me"

"I never blamed you for anything Yami…" Yugi whispered as he hugged him tightly. Yami grinned.

"May I have this dance?"

"Certainly…" Yugi giggled as the two of them went to the dance and swayed to the music letting the hours of the wonderful evening of the dance pass them by.

Sam: ^___________^ Well that I thought I should stop here for now cos I in a rush to finish this chapter and get it posted to announce that there will be technical difficulties in getting me chapters downloaded over the summer cos my brother's Internet connection is cut off and college ends today so I won't able to down load on there either… I'll try people but believe me when I get the chance to put them up there will be a load of chapters to read…
