Pre: FF.net won't let me on at all now! *Sighs* So it looks like you guys are stuck with me. *Grins* Anyway on to the disclaimer…M?

Muse: Sure. Pre does not own Yugioh, Evanescence or any other copyrighted material used in this fic!

Pre: Thanks M. This fic is done up to chapter 6 which I was just about to upload when ff.net went screwy.

Yugi: Does that mean you're gonna update quickly?

Pre: Yep and I'm already half way through chappy 7 so the more reviews I get the quicker I update!

M: Can we just get on with the story?

******************************

The small boy sighed, his head bent down as he made his way through the streets of Domino. He was late, he knew he was. He'd waited until he thought it was safe before leaving the school building. Dawdling behind after everyone else had left hoping against hope that the three bullies that had been plaguing him all day had finally given up and gone home.

Outwardly the boy flinched as he glanced down at his watch, images flashing through his mind, images of what had happened the last time that he was late home. Not for the first time he wandered which was worse avoiding the bullies or getting home?

He was so caught up in his thoughts that he failed to notice the three boys waiting for him near the entrance to a nearby alley.

The boy yelped biting back a scream as his bag fell to the floor and he was dragged inside the waiting darkness.

******************************

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away

******************************

"Come on Yami! There is no way your Dark Magician can beat my Blue Eyes, tell him Jay!"

Yami smirked over at the other teen as the three friends made their way home. "Ahh, but I have a plan, Seto."

Jay grinned to herself as she listened to the two boys argue. It was the same argument everyday neither of them seemed to tier of it, but neither of them seemed to want to do anything about proving it either.

Catching sight of something out of the corner of her eye she stopped motioning for the other two to be silent.

"What…?" Yami began but was silenced when her hand clamped over his mouth and one long finger pointed across the street.

Following her gaze Yami was surprised to see a young boy he didn't recognise walking listlessly down the opposite side of the street.

"He goes to Domino?" Seto asked, frowning as he took in the uniform. "I thought we knew everyone there?"

Jay glanced up at the taller boy raising an eyebrow slightly at his arrogance.

Yami snorted in disbelieve before turning to glance over at her. "So? Why'd you stop us?"

Jay sighed rolling her eyes as she pointed to the alleyway further down.

Yami growled deep in his throat as his eyes fell on the three people standing there.

"Hitoshi." Seto snarled out the name.

"Kyo," Yami's eyes glittered as they took in the two people behind the bully. "…And Nekah."

Jay nodded her own eyes glazing over as she watched the three bullies they'd been trying to put out of commission for awhile now move in for the kill.

******************************

Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die

******************************

The small boy struggled fruitlessly against the steel hands clamped around his upper arms as he was pushed up against the hard brick wall.

"What shall we do with our little friend, hmmm?" The leader of the three mumbled, stepping forward to run his hand down his captive's cheek.

"No…" The boy whispered as the tears that had been threatening to spill leaked from his eyes. "Please don't…"

"Awww, Hitoshi looks like you made the kid cry." The other two sniggered at the look of fear in the small boys eyes as their leader released him stepping back to aim a fist at the smaller boys stomach.

******************************

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away

******************************

"Come on guys we have to help him!" Jay whispered urgently as they raced across the street.

Yami nodded a hard look entering his eyes as, stopping at the foot of the alley, they saw the boy slide down the wall the three bullies towering over him.

Seto's own hands clenched at his sides as he saw Hitoshi aim a kick at the smaller boys' stomach.

The three friends looked at each other once before stepping forwards.

******************************

Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die

******************************

The boy cringed, curling up into a foetal position at the base of the wall as another kick was aimed at his already bruised ribs.

'Please, God, no…' The boy thought squeezing his eyes shut and trying to block out the leering forms above him. 'Help me, please someone help me….'

"Leave him alone Hitoshi!" The voice blasted through the haze surrounding the small boy's mind and he struggled to open his eyes.

"This is none of your business, Yami!" Hitoshi replied his eyes falling to slits as he slowly turned to face the owner of the voice.

"We've warned you before to leave the younger kids alone." Seto's hard voice joined in.

Hitoshi bit back a bark off laughter. "Younger?"

Jay frowned, her hands on her hips as she glared at the three bullies. "What's so funny about that?"

Kyo snorted, pushing past the three off them.

"Do you even know who he is?" Nekah asked as he followed suit.

"What?" Yami frowned as he let the boys pass.

Hitoshi shook his head. "Maybe you should find out who people are before you go around trying to save them."

"What the hell was that about?" Seto exclaimed as he watched the three walk off.

Jay shook her head turning back to the alley when a small whimper caught her attention.

"Are you ok?" Yami asked gently as he stepped forward to help the small boy up.

The boy nodded jerking away from the outstretched hand and brushing himself off.

Seto's eyes widened and Jay gasped as the boy stepped from the alley and into the sunlight.

Yami frowned as he straightened up the boy's bag in his hands. "What's up with you guys?"

"Yo…you…he…" Jay stuttered for once at a loss for words as she stared between her friend and the boy they'd just saved.

Yami frowned at his friends' strange behaviour before turning to hand the boy his bag…and stopped. It was like looking into a mirror, albeit a smaller one. The boy had the same weird tri-coloured hair as him, the same everything.

The boy looked up, amethyst to crimson, as he stared into the others eyes before grabbing his bag back from lifeless hands. "Arigatou." He whispered softly.

"Who are you?" Yami finally managed to gasp out as the boy began to walk away.

The boy stopped but didn't turn. "Yugi." He whispered softly almost inaudibly. "My name's Yugi."

Before the three friends had a chance to say anything he was gone running off down the road as fast as his legs could carry him.

******************************

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end

******************************

"What time to you call this?!" Yugi winced as his already sore back was smashed into his bedroom wall.

"I'll teach you to be on time young man!"

Yugi's eyes closed blocking everything out as he succumbed to his fathers beating the face of the boy who had saved him earlier floating through his mind.

******************************

Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
