Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Confidential Pain ❯ You Will Be The Death Of Me ( Chapter 9 )

Author's Notes-Just because I don't feel like writing ten chapters of boring crap about every little thing he did, so time will skip a bit. Tee hee. **sarcasm**

When `Subway Station' is referred to in this chapter, he's NOT talking about Subway Eat Fresh subway, but like the subway train subway.

Sorry for the long update-haven't been around much. Check out my newest fanfic, The Yugioh Murder Scenario! ^-^

Disclaimer-Duh.

Confidential Pain

Chapter Nine-You Will Be The Death Of Me



Yugi gazed up at the midnight sky dotted with thousands of brightly twinkling stars and sighed contentedly. It was hard to believe, but a month had already flown under his notice; a month of spending money like mad, being waited on hand and foot, having a grand time, living large, flirting with his private teacher, but most importantly, staying off drugs. He had made a vow to himself that as soon as he went shopping, he'd buy every anti-drug device or medication that existed, and indeed he did. The taste of LSD no longer lingered but was stashed in the very back of his mind, and the heroin had ceased to course through his veins.

Short fragments of his `life' back in Tokyo had passed across his memory every once in a while-parties at Anzu's, duels with Jounouchi, hanging out with Onimo. His memories were like shells in the ocean; they were there for you to look at for a moment before being pulled away by the strong current. No matter how many attempts he made to grasp them, they just slipped through his fingers like water, soon to be forgotten like everything else. The section of his mind containing all the memories of his past was locked to him and he had yet to recover the key.

Yugi tore his gaze from the mezmerizing sky, only to shift it to a large ruby sitting on a thick gold band on his thumb. He moved his hand slightly so that the starlight could catch in the ruby and sparkle magnificently. His mind wandered to the two black velvet boxes stowed away in his safe-each containing a perfectly cut diamond ring; one reserved for the one lucky woman that he may marry, the other in case the first marriage didn't follow through completely. And if neither of those ever happened, well, at least he'd have some bling bling!

"Yugi! Hey, Yugi!" A voice whispered, calling to him from the ground below.

Yugi looked down quickly, his heart thumping in his chest from the sudden startle. He searched the ground desperately for the source of the voice-it sounded so familiar, but it was too dark to see anything.

"Helloooo!" The voice called again, "Are you going to ignore me or get the freak down here?" Yugi glanced down once again; if he could only see the face of the familiar voice...

Turning around, he looked through the glass bay windows that led in to his bed chamber toward the dim red digital numbers floating through the dark room. They read 2:51 AM.

Who in their right minds would be out at this hour-or rather, how the hell did they get past all the tight security that surrounded the estate?!

Yugi turned back to the balcony and searched his mind, trying to think of a fast way to get from the balcony to the ground, but nothing clicked in his mind.

"If it was really you, you would have just jumped down there! God, what's gotten into you?"

Yugi felt a tingling chill run through his body as the voice floated out from his bed chamber. He slowly began turning around, mentally bracing himself against whoever might be standing there.

"Scared, Yugi?" The voice gave out an eerie laugh that rang through Yugi's head and rattled his brain when Yugi came face to face with the person. He could only stare in shock and wonder at the so familiar boy standing before him.

"You...who are you? You look so familiar...like a friend I had long ago..." Yugi asked, his mind searching for a name to match the face. He felt like a dear friend had come to visit after years of them being separated. The boy chuckled in response to his question.

"You don't remember?" A look of sadness passed through his eyes, but was quickly replaced with a mask of stoicism. "Well, I'm sure you'll remember shortly, for I brought someone else with me."

Yugi's eyes widened when yet another person stepped out of the shadows of the room to reveal himself.

"Jounouchi!!" Yugi cried, suddenly, finally remembering his old friend. "And Onimo! How could I forget? Ya'll were my best friends! It's been so long-where have you been?" Yugi grinned widely and happiness coursed through him-it had been forever since he'd seen Onimo, and it felt like longer since he'd seen Jounouchi.

"Nowhere, really." Onimo said with what seemed a bit of hatred.

"Oh....well, it's great seeing you again!" Yugi grinned again and made as to embrace the two friends. They both chuckled as they watched him, much to their amusement, pass right through them.

"What....what the hell?" Yugi whispered, staring at his empty arms bewildered. He slowly turned his head to look behind him-the two boys were still standing in the exact same spot like nothing had happened. But Yugi had just been on the other side of them...

"You really are stupid..." Jounouchi muttered, turning around to face where Yugi now stood.

"You're wondering why you passed right through us, aren't you?" Onimo smirked, satisfied, when Yugi nodded. "It's really easy, the answer to that. I mean, I could punch you--" He punched him, but Yugi watched in horror as the hand passed through his jaw, and he felt nothing but a numbing chill. "But you wouldn't feel it. Don't you get it yet?"

"Um...is this a crazy dream?" Yugi whispered.

"No, baka!" Jounouchi said in a harsh tone.

"Then why is this happening?!" Yugi wailed.

"Because..." Onimo whispered, taking a few steps closer to Yugi, "you killed us."

Yugi's blood ran cold and he felt his heart plummet to the bottom
of his stomach as Onimo's harsh words sank in.

"You-you're lying! You can't just make such stupid accusations, Onimo! I'm not a murderer! Jounouchi, is he crazy, or what?!" Yugi laughed nervously, then looked at Jounouchi, expecting support. "Right?!"

"You disgust me!" He spat in response to Yugi. "You ARE a murdering bastard! YOU KILLED ME! Your best friend!!"

"Yeah, you killed me too, Yugi! What'd you do that for, you big bully!" Onimo asked playfully, enjoying watching Yugi squirm and sweat. His smirk challenged that of the Cheshire Cat.

Yugi allowed Jounouchi's venomous words sink in, though he could remember no such act. He felt his knees give in and collapsed in a near chair, trying to sort everything out. He jumped up immediatly though, as he realized he was sitting on something cold and wet. Looking back in the chair, his mouth fell open in horror-Anzu was staring at him with empty eyes, blood dripping down from a bullet wound in her chest.


"No....this can't be happening..." Yugi grabbed his hair and shut his eyes tightly, trying to block everything out, but what he saw was just as bad, or even worse, from what sat before his opened eyes.

The dredged up memories began playing through his mind like a movie, and the stop button was stuck.

`"You'll pay in hell, bitch!" He yelled angrily as he pulled the trigger.

Anzu's inhaled sharply in a last, rasping breath before she collapsed to the ground on her knees and fell sideways, her legs buckled under her body in an awkward position. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, showing only the whites. Blood flowed steadily from her mouth, drenching her lacy white negligee, staining it a crimson red.'

`"I...I'm not quite sure how to say this..." Yugi grabbed Jounouchi's hand and placed something hard and cold into it. Yugi turned his head to face to Jounouchi's and looked into Jounouchi's eyes. In a split second, those eyes were widening as Yugi rushed forward and locked his lips onto Jounouchi's. Jounouchi tried to push away, but Yugi pressed harder against him and even slipped his tongue into Jounouchi's mouth.

Suddenly Jounouchi's eyes glazed over and his lips stopped trying to resist. Yugi pulled away, smirking at the limp body.

"I just wanted to tell you-I won't be ordering flowers for you, love." Yugi licked his lips as he pulled away. Jounouchi's hand fell away from his chest, where Jounouchi had been holding a knife to his own heart. Blood spilled onto the bed, seeping through and soaking everything. Yugi smirked and backed away form the bed.'

`"When the hell did you sign up for this fucking program anyway?! Why didn't you tell me about this before now, huh? What the hell kind of friend are you trying to play?!!?"

"I didn't think it was important, ok?! They were only going to pick one person as the winner of this thing so I doubted I would be chosen!!! That's why I didn't tell you! What kind of friend am I?! I'm the one who murders people to save our skins, rob banks so that WE can get drugs-"

"Oh ho ho, but does that matter any more? You don't WANT to do drugs anymore, bastard! I live solely on drugs, and now you're gonna make me move to bloody America without them! FUCK YOU!" Onimo took a step towards Yugi, his ghostly fist solidifying, then unexpectantly swung at him, punching Yugi hard in the stomach. Yugi gasped and grabbed his stomach, keeling over. With a satisfied look, Onimo turned his heel and stormed out of the apartment, slamming the door so hard behind him that the TV shook cautiously on top of the wobbly TV stand.

Yugi forced his eyes open, ending the memories at once. His whole body was shaking-he was a murderer! He HAD killed...all his friends...

Tears of anger and uncertaintly began dripping from his worried violet eyes.

"I....I didn't want to remember this..." He fell to his knees, clutching his head, trying to force the memories out of his mind, silently cursing Onimo for bringing this back to him.

"Curse you Onimo!" Yugi shouted, raising his head to look at the cause for his misery, but he wasn't there. Yugi inhaled sharply as he glanced around the room-no one was there! What had just happened?!

Thoughts raced through Yugi's mind-it was all too much! Pulling himself to his legs, Yugi stumbled towards the nightstand where his clock and his credit card sat. He checked the time as he grabbed the small plastic card-2:51 AM.

He wanted to forget it all-and he only knew of one thing that could do that. $3000 of it would definitely help him forget.

******

He couldn't remember how-or when- he had gotten to the subway station, but he stood there now, watching a certain drunkard's every move with narrowed eyes from the other side of the station, a disgusted look on his face.

"Please stay behind the yellow line, the train is approaching," Came a female's voice from the speakers. Everyone in the station obligingly took a few steps back, staying clearly behind the yellow line.

"Yugi! Hey, son! It's been a while since I saw you last!" The drunkard, who had just now taken notice of Yugi, smiled at Yugi and began to swagger his way, arms opening wide to embrace his long-since seen and only son.

"Get away from me..." Yugi muttered, watching as th man got closer to him, still smiling like everything was alright. "Stay away from me! You haven't talked to me in thirteen years, why bother now? It's too late now-you've already berid me of my mother and sister! I want nothing to do with you!" Out of the corner of his eye, Yugi saw the bright white headlights of the approaching train. "Why didn't you kill me like you killed them?! WHY?! I hate you!"

Many irrated bystanders began looking at the screaming boy, wondering why he couldn't keep his damn mouth shut. Some people began edging away from him, afraid that he was a looney.

"Yugi...how dare you speak to me in that tone? You should be grateful--"

"For what?!" Yugi spat out, interrupting his father's deep, harsh tone. "For killing off my family and then running off with a whore? You just left me there! What the hell kind of father are you?! You know what? Don't answer that! The kind of father you are--" Before even considering his actions, Yugi found himself rushing towards the bewildered bum and pushing him with all his might towards the train tracks; it was as if someone had taken over Yugi's body and possessed him to do such an act. "-is a dead one!" Yugi shouted, watching satisfied as the man stumbled past the yellow line, then fell backwards, landing squarely on the tracks with the train only seconds away.

Screams and gasps rang out through the station, and before anyone could move to help the man, the train had passed in the blink of an eye, leaving them with a slight breeze and an echoing, tortured scream. People stared in horror at what the passing train had left behind-blood splatters covering the walls-fragments of body parts covering the floor. Yugi looked down satisfied at the finger of his father lying inches from Yugi's shoe. Smiling, he raised his shoe, then brought the heel of it down, smashing it upon the fragment of the body. People were staring at him, horrified and disgusted, while others were sobbing or screaming in their cell phones.

Yugi gave the station a sweepover, glaring at anyone who stared at him.

"What?! I just helped society and all you can do is stare at me?! He's not worth crying over! He was a bastard! He deserved to die!! You people make me sick!" Angry tears fell from his violet eyes, but he brushed them away before anyone could see. Turning on his heel, he stormed out of the station, leaving the traumatized people behind.

"Excuse me sir, would you like bacon, or sausage?"

"What?!" Yugi shouted, whirling around to find the source of the voice. He felt someone tapping his shoulder.

"Are you still half asleep sir?" the voice asked. Yugi felt the world around him disintegrating, only to be replaced by a young butler standing over him.

`It was...only a dream...' He thought as he recalled the happening that had just taken place. `It seemed so real though...' Shuddering, he looked up at the butler.

"I'm not really in the mood for any meat at the moment," he said shakily, remembering the finger that he had crushed under his heel. "I'll take some waffles though. Make that a lot of waffles, I'm hungry." The butler nodded and bowed, then scooted out of the room.

Yugi looked around him; he was in a huge room, on a huge canopy bed, in a silk and velvet night gown.

"When did I go to sleep?" He tried to remember, but his mind came up blank. Groaning, he pulled himself over to the night stand beside the bed. He fumbled with the drawer before finally pulling it open, to reveal an assortment of empty bottles and plastic bagsscattered inside it. Picking one of them up, he sniffed it cautiously.

"Awww, dammit!" he cursed himself. "I was supposed to stop doing drugs while I was here...damn it all!" He threw the cursed bottle across the room, then fell back onto the bed, sighing. He wondered what had driven him to do those drugs...he couldn't remember getting up last night to get them. He had probably spent all of today's $3000 though...

A metallic ringing was heard throughout the house, signifying that breakfast was ready. Pulling himself to his feet, Yugi stepped into his new velvet slippers and headed towards the door, grabbing a Slim Jim from his Slim Jim machine when he passed it.

When he reached the large staircase, he grinned and sat on the rail like he did everyday and pushed off so that he could slide down rather than walk down the hundred stairs.

"This never gets old," He muttered happily as he gained speed going down. The end of the short ride came and he jumped off, straightened his robes, then sauntered towards the dining room.

"Your waffles, sir," spoke one of the butlers as he pulled out a chair that sat in front of a plate heaped with waffles. Yugi nodded and sat down to begin devouring his three pounds of fattening, syrup covered, pure sweet bliss waffles.

"If you don't mind me asking, what are your plans for today?" Jonathon, the butler, asked as he placed other various items on the table. Yugi waited until he had swallowed his mouth full of waffle and downed it with a glass of orange juice before answering.

"Well, I was thinking about getting one of my rides pimped* again just for the heck of it," He said thoughtfully, picturing his silver punchbuggy that was in the garage. His Camero had already been pimped-it now had four Slim Jim machines**, a tv, a surround sound system, lava lamps, and a disco ball in it. "I also wanted to climb the rock, I haven't gotten around to doing that yet, and I want to go swimming. There could possibly be some pool shooting in there too. Most likely." Yugi stuffed another forkful of waffles in his mouth as Jonathon nodded approvingly.

"I hope you enjoy your day, sir. I must attend to my other duties now." The butler slowly backed out of the room, leaving Yugi to his remaining half pound of waffles.

Yugi gave a relieved sigh once the butler left the room. He had gotten away with not telling the butler that today's allowence had already been spent-though it wasn't really even his buisness. But Yugi wasn't entirely sure if drugs were on the `allowed' list of things to spend three grand on. Either way, it was already done and he sure couldn't get a refund.

Yugi swirled his last forkful of waffles around in the syrup for a few moments, thinking about his dream about killing his father. He couldn't help but wonder what had really happened to his family-he hadn't heard from them ever, but he had dreams of them all the time. Were they dead, or were they still alive somewhere? Had they kicked Yugi out? Had Yugi's dad murdered them?

"My sister..." He muttered as he suddenly remembered that he recalled having a sister. Even if his parents had died of old age, she would still be alive!

Pushing back his chair, Yugi got out, abandoning his waffles and started towards the stairs. Kaiba had awesome inventions-Yugi was sure he'd be able to find out about his family with them! He knew that if he wanted any real information, he'd have to use the best computer in the house-the one located in Kaiba's off-limits study.

"Mom...sister...dad...I WILL find you..." Yugi murmured, knowing he'd have to use that computer, no matter what trouble he got in.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Au thor's Notes- AUG! He has a sister?! Who knew! Who knows what trouble he'll get in if he tries to use that computer-but when his mind is set, it's set.

So stay tuned for the next chapter of Confidential Pain! Will Yugi make it as far as inside Kaiba's study, or will he be caught?
