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. ^^ Scratch that, a lot of language 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. Joy for him.

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. Almost.

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 what he has now?

Oh yeah, if anyone hasn't yet caught on, Yugi's been ignored for the last five or six months or so. He wasn't actually sure anymore, since he stopped counting awhile ago. Actually about the same time he stopped caring. Funny that.

Ignored. Heh, an odd reason to leave, no? But… at this point, Yugi didn't care if it was odd, if it was stupid or anything. Actually he really didn't give a flying fuck what anyone really thought anymore since none of them understood.

Seriously, later on, people criticize him because he was simply ignored, saying he was a baby for leaving only because of that, especially when others run away because of being abused or what not. And at those times, Yugi laughed. They didn't know what it was like to be ignored like that. To loose everyone that he trusted to someone else. Actually, he couldn't give a fuck about the other's, he only really cared about Yami thought.

Because, yes, Yugi could have handled it if it was everyone but Yami who was ignoring him. I mean, Yami, the other half of his amazingly fucked up soul.

And, yes, Yugi most likely 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. But again, Yugi didn't care about the, for as he would put it, they could go fuck themselves.

Yugi stood up silently as 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, not that he expected anything less.

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. Not that Yugi cared, he could have beaten the crap out of them if they bothered, or if Yugi gave a shit if he was sent to the hospital… or died.

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 often 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 (Yugi snorted at this.) since most of it included 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 along side them. A small case of dark makeup he used to wear was packed tightly in. Innocent my ass. Hell, no one would ever think that he was that bold to dress in anything like that.

Seriously, most assumed sweet, little Yugi got all those scars before he moved in with his grandfather. Sure…

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 he 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 crimson eyes. He didn't look back, knowing there wasn't much to look back on.

Yugi gave a light sigh as the cold flavorless liquid ran past his lips, his tongue rolling it to the back of his mouth and down his throat. Two pale slim fingers reached slowly out to touch the thick glass of the airplane window; his head leaning to the side as dark red orbs gazed past the glass.

His other hand stroked the rim of the clear plastic cup, as his eyes never left the image beyond the window. His eyes closed, simply feeling the soft vibration of the plane as it moved swiftly above the half clouded sky.

Yugi sighed again as he opened his eyes, the aircraft now playing away from the cloudy area, leaving a clear evening of flight. Yugi's eyes hardened only slightly as he watched the small buildings of Domino slowly fade into the horizon and soon the frightening tall towers of Kaiba Corp. started to disappear along with them.

The setting sun shone brightly as the disappeared behind the mountains in the distance as a surprisingly fast rate, casting a soft orange glow on the teen's fair skin.

He watched as the sun continued to leave the sky, his hand never leaving its place on smooth thick window.

'Yami.'

Yugi tore his eyes away from the sun as the sun completely left his view yet the orange and yellow color hovered over the mountains where the sun was once visible, blending in with the dark blue sky.

The hand left he glass, moving over to place it on the small handle of the window's cover, and, without hesitation, Yugi pulled it closed.

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. Feed the authoress?

Anywho, I changed some stuff again. A bit more sarcasm and cursing. Heh… ^^U I completely redid the last section there so it's much long then before.
