*No one's POV*

Yugi and the now awakened Yami were sitting in the living room eating the food what Yugi had made. Yami loved it, food with someone he cares for, sitting with them as he was sick when he never used to. He felt like this was a second home now, but was the one he prefered to be in.

He turned to see Yugi eating in the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but to smile at him. When did he get so lucky to have an actual friend as good as him? He found himself asking that every once and awhile.

Yugi leaned to Yami and placed the back of his hand against Yami's head and his face soften a little. "Your fever is going down a little, that's good right?" Yugi asked and Yami just sighed. Being well means he had to return home. He didn't want to.

"Yeah, sure," Yami mumbled and turned to face outside the window. A red x was on the window which made him get up and walk over to it. "Yugi do any kids plan pranks on this house?"

"Hm? No, not that I'm aware of. Maybe some new kids have moved on the block?" Yugi said but it was more like a question. Yami was weary of this but since he was feeling dizzy he rejoined Yugi on the seat. Not before checking his back pocket which had his gun in it. 

The two sat and watched whatever Yugi put on, because no matter what Yugi asked Yami would always say he was fine with whatever was put on. With Yugi laughing away, he didn't hear his phone going off but Yami peaked over to see it. It was a security alarm.

'Unknown car has been detected. Watch cameras for more detail on said person'

"Yugi where are the cameras located?" Yami asked and only then Yugi looked down. 

His face turned when he saw the message and turned the sound of the t.v down. "I'm going up there to see what's going on, stay down and don't get up," Yugi whispered and got up. Yami grabbed his arm and pulled him down, pulling out his gun.

"Let me take care of this, I can handle this better than you can," Yami let out and Yugi smiled placing a hand on Yami's hand.

"You're still ill and can barely stand. You're in my house so you're my care. So let me protect you," Yugi said as he kissed the top of Yami's head before running off.

Yami felt weak, for the first time he is unable to protect someone because his body was weak.

That didn't stop him from getting up despite the dizziness he felt and walking to the window looking out. Two people dressed in black were standing at the front looking around the place and another with a phone in hand.

Yami's blood began to boil, these people were out for Yugi and what was worse. It was his father's men.

His legs began to give so he took to the ground and began to crawl, wanting to get to the stairs. But a gunshot from the living room put him off and he turned to see where it was aiming for. The red x was no longer there and replaced with a hole, if Yugi was still sitting there...

Yami now didn't have a problem with killing them. 

With crawling up the stairs, Yugi was standing at the top with a shocked face. Yami held his finger to his mouth and Yugi nodded, running down the stairs and throwing one of Yami's arms around his shoulders and lifting him up. He dragged him to the room that was to the left of the stairs and closed the door to talk.

"Yugi I know those people who are here, you have to let me take care of them and you stay in a room," Yami said and brought his gun up showing to Yugi that it was fully loaded. 

"N-No you're sick and I have t-"

"Yugi!"

Yami lunged forward and brought Yugi into a hug dragging him leaning against the wall. 

"God damn it you have to listen to me, I want to do this. You have been helping me this whole time I have been sick and barely able to take care of myself. I'm numb to seeing blood and bodies and I don't want to taint your innocence. 

"You're too important to me to get hurt. I swore I would protect you so let me," Yami finished and moved back to see Yugi's face. He had tears threatening to fall and his cheeks were red but he nodded his head. 

Yami leaned in and kissed him on his cheek as he got up. "Lock the door behind me, I'll be back," Yami said as he left. 

Once hearing the door close he took to the top of the stairs and leaned over. There was light shining in from the front door meaning that it had been opened. Slowly walking down, he got to the bottom and peaked in the living room.

One of the men were in there and spotted Yami.

"Yami? Why are you here? Oh have you killed the Muto's yet before, you work  fast kid," he said and put his gun away walking up to Yami. The man placed a hand on Yami's shoulder and didn't see the smirk from the younger. "I'll call back home and tell your father what a good job you have done."

The man was about to reach for his phone until Yami grabbed his hand. "Sorry but..." Yami whispered and in an instant he grabbed his gun, shoved it in the mouth of the man and pulled the trigger. "You ain't calling anyone."

Yami dove behind cover fast because two sets of footsteps were closing in.

He knew they were close after hearing them gasp and start to walk close together. "Wherever you are bastard come out! You will pay with your own blood!" One yelled and Yami rolled his eyes.

The footsteps seperated and Yami grew nervous to where the second pair was going. The first, however were coming right for him. Moving around the seat, Yami was able to avoid any confrontation but heard the squeaking of the stairs. He was getting stressed out.

He saw the person going into the kitchen so he took this as an chance to get an knife because there was a knife set as soon as you walked in. While staying close to the ground, Yami slivered over and reached up searching for the knife set.

But what he felt in his arm was something different and painful. 

A knife was now sticking in his arm and bound him to the table. "I always knew you were a brat, but I did not think you would go against your own father," the person said and went in front of Yami. 

Yami tried to use his free hand to get the knife out but the guy got down and sat on his legs while grabbing his free hand. "I wonder if your body is still completely covered in bruises from the lashing you used to get, bet you swim with a top on," the person said and used one of his knifes to run it along Yami's face almost cutting it.

Yami was able to keep his cool, he didn't have any control in this situation but that didn't stop him trying to get his stabbed arm free from the table. "Yugi Muto is still alive, which means you haven't done your job, what can you do right?"

A scream from upstairs sent Yami into overdrive with wriggling his arm free. "Seems like your job had just been completed by Usagi."

"You wanna know what I'm good at?" Yami asked, his tone of voice going deeper. His stabbed arm was finally free and he brought it down as carefully as he could. "I'm good at slitting your throat open."

Yami lifted his leg up, hitting the guy in his soft spot making him let go of Yami's arm. Finally able to use both of his hands, he used his none stabbed one to pull the knife out and in a swift movement he took it to the guy's neck.

The blood splattered on Yami's chest as the guy tried to stop the blood from coming out but there was no saving himself.

Yami pushed him off him and struggled to get up. The dizzy spells were definitely getting worse but with another scream echoing the house he didn't care for himself. He bolted up the stairs slipping at a couple and bursting through the door.

All he saw was blood as Yugi was under another guy, topless with countless cut marks on his chest.

The person over Yugi didn't have enough time before Yami had jumped on his back and started to stab him in his chest. The guy rammed himself into the wall, smacking Yami against it but his grip didn't slip as he continued to stab untilt the guy was on the ground and Yami was on top.

"You will feel this in your fucking grave," Yami growled and stabbed the knife in his throat to finish him off.

Finally crawling off him Yami was allowed to breathe for a second before he crawled over to Yugi and picked him up from the ground. "T-They're all d-dead...I-I told you I will protect you," Yami mumbled and felt himself wanting to cry.

But Yugi crying in his arms, gripping his shirt like he was about to fall from a cliff. He was trying to speak but nothing was audible because he was hiccuping a lot. Yami now, at this point promised himself something. He was never returning home after this. He would get Takashi to run with his brother and make sure they were safe.

He would never leave Yugi's side again.

This chapter was defiantly different from what I normally do, but hey oh everyone needs to try new things. And a Yami who is very overprotective of Yugi and refuses to listen to his father is interesting.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, if so let me know down below and STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
