What do you think?

Wait, never mind, I forgot that it requires a brain to think. Sorry, my bad.

Warnings: Mild Shounen-Ai.

Wow? Is that the only warning I have this time? Nope, forgot, there is some language also now. ^^

Yugi tapped his pencil impatiently as her watched the school clock tick softly.

The school year was over, well, almost anyway, only a few more minutes. Yugi sighed knowing full well it was his last day as a freshman in Domino High, not to mention his last day he would be spending in Domino for the next few years.

It was almost ironic how it was only six months ago that Battle City had ended, and no one from their little 'group' even remembered that his birthday was tomorrow, not that it mattered anymore.

Yugi never realized how much could change in six months. Six months ago he had a group of wonderful friends, a caring Yami whom he loved, and his grandfather who was always there. Now what did he have?

Who the fuck cared anymore what he has?

Oh yeah, if anyone hasn't yet caught on, Yugi's been ignored for the last six month also. Whoop-de-do, not like anyone cared now.

Yes, Yugi could've been able to handle this fine if his grandfather still spoke to him. Scratch that, if his grandfather even knew he existed. It was like everyone made fun of him, teased, bullied, or ordered him around now, oh no, now it was like he wasn't even worth their time, not even his dearest Yami, but, it was now to the point where Yugi had given up to even care.

Yugi stood up silently s the bell rang, the entire class (well almost) getting up and rushing to the door. He remained quiet as the 'gang' walked past him, not even giving him a glance.

Yugi took a last glance at his Yami before heading out the door, his last period teacher saying goodbye and that she hoped to see him next year. Yugi smiled bitterly at the thought, 'Like I would be staying around long enough to be here another year.'

The walk back to the Game Shop was uneventful like always, for bullies no longer picked on him, again, thinking he wasn't worth the time or effort.

He walked in the shop, not saying a word as usual, his grandfather already left a week ago for another dig in Egypt like he usually did. Of course, Yugi didn't really care since no one had thought to tell him.

Yugi grabbed the three suitcases he had packed the night before, two filled with clothes with another filled with personal objects.

Most of the clothing he owned was something no one would ever think that sweet innocent little Yugi would ever even think of wearing since most of it included black leather that contained more buckles and chains then he usually wore along with collars for his neck and arms, most with spikes and studs. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets were all packed up. He even had a case of dark makeup he used to wear. Innocent my ass. Hell, no one would ever think that he was that bold to dress in anything like that. Most assumed that he gained most of his scars from getting beat up when they were from before he moved in with his grandfather. His grandfather got angry with him when he was showed up at the door one day, lead by a police officer for fighting.

Yugi had snorted at the though, like hell was he going to let some asshole get away with thinking he was an easy target, he very well could hold his own in a fight if we wanted. Sure he didn't like to fight, especially after he lost his best friend in one, but he sure as hell wasn't about to let others beat the shit out of him.

Yugi dragged them both downstairs with ease, especially since he had started working out again like he did when he lived on the streets. He returned back to his room, grabbing an empty leather backpack and filling it with more things. He had stopped wearing the Sennen Puzzle long ago, not like Yami noticed or anything. He pushed the golden puzzle in the back, knowing full well that he wouldn't be able to leave it behind. Sure, he was mighty pissed at the spirit but that didn't mean he didn't harbor affection for the past pharaoh.

He quickly made sure he had his deck, not his grandfather's, but his. Besides, Yami had claimed that deck long ago. Yugi's own was something he'd had since he was roughly ten, made up of cards that were mostly given to him by his true friends. Yugi sighed, wishing he could see them again before he left. Shaking his head, he double-checked to make sure he had all of his money.

Yugi had gotten a job shortly after the group started to exclude him just to keep his mind occupied. He had planned to leave Domino long ago; deciding it was best to end the school year before leaving. He had gotten a second job about two months ago and now had a relatively large sum of money. Enough for him to afford a plane ticket to England and rent a small house there ahead of time. He wasn't stupid, he wasn't about to jump on a plane and expect a job, school, and home. Oh no, he thought this out, even down to getting a job at an electronic company and getting his driver's license a year early. Yugi blinked himself out of thought again, almost forgetting one last item.

Yugi walked across the wall to where Yami's room was. Actually, it was originally Yugi's but he moved himself into the guest room a few months previous, not that Yami noticed of course. He easily picked the lock to the chest where Yami kept the rest of the Sennen Items and with a wave of his hand, disabled all the protection spells that were placed over it. 'Pathetic,' Yugi thought, quickly searching through the chest for the correct item he wished to take. 'Yami-dearest doesn't even know how to place decent warding spells.'

He stopped as he found the item he sought for, gripping the golden necklace quickly before leaving the room, almost forgetting to lock the chest up again.

He shoved the Sennen necklace into the pack before putting with the rest of his luggage, remembering to leave his little um… note for Yami and the rest of his 'friends'.

Yugi grabbed a piece of stationary from Yami's room, a gift that Yugi had given Yami awhile ago but was never actually used by the spirit, whether it was because he didn't want to waste it or just didn't even remember it was still unknown to the hikari.

The stationary was almost completely black (meaning he had to use a light gel pen to write anything visible) and its borders were decorated beautifully with blood red roses. A large bundle of the roses were sprouting from the bottom left corner with rose petals randomly decorating the sides.

Yugi quickly wrote down an explanation to them, idly wondering how long it would take them to notice if he didn't write a note. He finished within a few minutes, dating the top right corner in a quick flick of the pen. He walked back up to his room, placing it on his white pillow before heading back, hearing the taxi pull up to the shop.

His items were hastily loaded into the trunk before he instructed the driver to take him to the airport. He closed his eyes, facing forward the entire time, not noticing a single tear escape from one of his amethyst eyes. He wouldn't allow himself look back, because he knew if he did, his heart wouldn't allow him to leave.

Yugi sat down in his seat, looking out the window at the sparkling lights of Domino, knowing he wouldn't be able to see this city for awhile. He just needed to get away, needed time to think… He needed to find where people cared.

He fingered his silver charm bracelet, particularly a charm shaped in a crescent moon; a small sapphire embedded in the middle, as his mind wandered to the only two men he ever loved. A pair of warm blue eyes appeared in his mind, quickly replaced by a pair of sharp crimson eyes. Yugi sighed as he closed the plane window, leaning back into his chair. His mind wandered off to sleep, a single word left in his head as the place took off.

'Yami…'

Anywho, again, I hope everyone enjoys this rewrite better also. ^^ A lot of the things were the same here but I added a bit more things here and there. For those who are wondering, the blue eyes do not belong to Seto, but someone else. ^^ It'll all be explained in a side story (once I get my ass into gear and write it, anyway. ^^U) Feed the authoress?
