The Green Mile

-Chapter one-

~*~… POV~*~
I was pulled roughly out of the car, many people where staring at me and I knew that it wasn’t because of my looks.
*Flashback*
The corn waggled as I stroked my hand over it. It would only be a matter of time before it would be harvested. I couldn’t wait. In the harvest time we always do a harvest home with a harvest-song, it was really cosy. Everyone will celebrate and be happy. *big smile*
When I heard the voices of my parents come nearer I ran trough the corn, only to enjoy the silence for a little time longer. I ran, far away, with my arms wide, stroking over the corn, leaving a trace of waggling corn behind. When I stopped I was almost at the end of the field.
“This is far enough I think…” I said as I stood, still with my arms wide, and let the wind play with my strange colored and formed hair. I didn’t have my three colored hair from my mother, or my father. And from the stories I’ve heard also not from my elder ones. I was just an outsider, also for the people that lived in our village. No one wanted to play with me because of my strange looks and my hyperactivity. When I was a kid I could never make friends, although I wanted it so badly, that’s why I’m alone and why I like it to be alone… I just never tasted friendship.
Suddenly I heard a high scream, the one of a little girl; it was almost a death scream. I was shocked but quickly came over it and I searched the way the scream came from. It came from the east. Quickly I ran, when I reached the end of the field I just ran further. I came on a field of grass and quickened my speed.
I sort of panicked when I didn’t find anything. As I stopped to take a breath there was another scream, this time harder.
Letting out a long breath, I started running again and now I was in the wood. While climbing over a tree that lay on the ground I saw a pool of water, but nothing could stop me now. I had to save what had to be saved, if I was on time. I ran trough the water; it splashed everywhere and my clothes where getting wet, but I didn’t pay any attention to it. Because when I was out of the water, I landed on an open field. It wasn’t because of the open field but the things that I saw there.
Disgusting and shocking where the best words to describe it.
Before me, lying on the ground, where all clothes, clothes from a little girl. The clothes where soaked with blood and some of them where hanging in a tree. Under the tree was the girl that had screamed for help. Only now, she couldn’t scream, or even breathe.
I ran to the little girl, this couldn’t be! I’m too late! No! I slowly dropped to my knees, feeling tears well up in my eyes. I let the tears fall, while I bend over the girl and took her in my arms. Rocking her body back and forth, I studied her face better. Oh no! It’s… Rebecca!
“She’s just a six-year old girl! Why? Why, oh God why?” I said. Although she is much younger then me she was always the one that was nice to me.
“There he is!” I looked up, my amethyst eyes blank and dull. I saw figures walking to me, but I was in a haze.
“…Too late…” I said. Someone pulled me up, roughly, but I didn’t mind. I felt something cold against my neck, I wanted to know what it was but my mind wouldn’t work. The man started speaking.
“…You’re arrested because of murder.” Was all I heard and after that I was led away.
*End flashback*
~*~End … POV~*~

-Chapter Two-

The boy, named Yugi, quickly got out of the car. He shrieked when he felt all eyes falling on him.
‘Why am I arrested? I didn’t do anything! But if I say so they wouldn’t believe me…’ He almost had tears in his eyes.
‘What would happen to me?’ was the question he kept asking himself. But he couldn’t think any further when the door was pulled open and the guards stepped inside, taking Yugi with them.
They led Yugi into a room with a green floor. He gazed to his left and then to his right, everywhere where cells for everyone, most of them where empty.
There was only one full and there was a creepy man in it. He had silver hair and there was something wrong with his left eye. His other eye gleamed with anger and hatred. Yugi shuddered; he had the idea that he wouldn’t like this guy.
As he glanced away from the weird man his eyes fell on a boy, not much older than him. Only 18 years old, he thought. The boy had brown hair and blue eyes; he was also very big because Yugi had to look up. There was another boy standing beside the other but he couldn’t see him because he was led away again, now to the back off
the room. They stopped when they got at the last cell and a guy with white hair opened it. Yugi was pushed in and he sat down on the bed. A moment later the boy with the brown hair and blue eyes appeared in front of me.
“I think you know why you are here?” he said and Yugi nodded ‘I could better play along…’ he thought. “I shall introduce myself, I’m Seto Kaiba but please call me Kaiba. This is Bakura Ryou…”. He said while pointing to the white haired guy who had opened my cell. “… This is Marik Malik…” Kaiba said while pointing to a guy with sand-like colored hair and a very brown skin. “…And this is…” He waited for the person to come in Yugi’s eyesight “…Yami Yugi…”
~*~Yami’s POV~*~
I heard the door open slowly and my friends stepped inside. They dragged our new prisoner in but I couldn’t see the person because Bakura was standing in my eyesight. I heard someone standing next to me but I didn’t mind to look, I just knew it was Kaiba.
The ever cold Kaiba, never wanted to be called as Seto, only by the ones who he loved and cared for. Only the love hasn’t come to him, it was taken away. When he was younger he lived with his little brother Mokuba. He loved the boy with all his life, but Mokuba got sick and died a few years ago. And that was the end of his kindness. I think he still hasn’t come over the death of his brother.
Marik and Bakura finally turned and now I could see our prisoner, it was….
I could guess my jaw was lying on the floor and that my eyes were really big. Everyone said that our prisoner would be very dangerous, but it was only a little boy ‘okay… not much shorter then me but…’, he didn’t look very dangerous to me. And the strangest of all, he looked just like me!!! He also had the same hair as mine!! The only thing that was different where his eyes. They where big and amethyst and my eyes where little and crimson.
I was beginning to get nervous; luckily the boy first looked at Kaiba, so I just studied him further. He was little but handsome…
I felt Bakura’s eyes on me and I looked up. After watching his eyes I nodded, knowing too well what his question was. Bakura looked at Marik and they began walking to the boy’s cell.
As the boy was put in the cell Kaiba left his place next to me and started walking as well. Now I stood alone, nervous and I didn’t know what I should do. When I heard Kaiba saying his name and those from Bakura and Marik I made my decision and started walking too.
“And this is…” Kaiba said, waiting for me to come. Slowly I walked to them. “…Yami Yugi.”
I could see the confusion in the boy’s eyes and they became even bigger. Okay, what should I do now?...

-Chapter Three-

~*~Still Yami’s POV~*~
I do not like this… After shifting, I slowly walked in the cell. I had to do this. As I stopped next to Kaiba, Kaiba left his place and walked to the others. I took a piece of paper and a pen for further notes and took a deep breath.
The boy sat uncomfortable on his bed and I was shifting nervous. Slowly, I took the list of questions that we had to ask. I started with the first question. “What is your name?” I managed to get out.
“Yu..Yugi Motou sir…” ‘He was stuttering? Oh well… I guess that I’m a little tense too’ I thought and I relaxed a little.
“Please, call me Yami.” “Okay” After that, I heard him sigh.
“How old are you Yugi?” “17 si..Yami!” ‘17!!? That means that I’m only one year older then him!!! Oh my god… Then why does he look so young?’ I was so lost in thought that I did not hear Kaiba cough. Kaiba coughed another time, this time harder and now I came back to senses. I looked at my friends, Bakura and Marik grinning like fools and Kaiba looking mad. ‘O oooohhhh!!! I made Kaiba mad, now I’ve done it…’ I swallowed hard and I fixed my eyes upon Yugi again.
“You know why you are here so we can skip that already…” Yugi nodded quickly, but I could see his eyes that were looking helpless and confused.
“Okay… I don’t have any further questions to you, do you have any?” The boy shook his head.
“Then I hope you’ll behave yourself when you are staying here. We don’t want any problems.”
‘Although I don’t think that something will happen…’
With that, I stood up and left. I saw that Bakura was still grinning a little so I shot him a death glare, it did not help though.
Lucky for me Kaiba had regained most of his temper, but I could still see some irritation in his eyes. I walked quickly past him, trying not to look in his eyes and back to our office. ‘I just know I’ll be dead in a few minutes,’ that was my last thought as I disappeared through the door.
~*~End Yami’s POV~*~
While Yami walked to his office, Yugi simply lay down on his bed. He got tired after everything what had happened today.
Bakura and Marik left their places at the opening of Yugi’s cell and walked to the office where Yami disappeared.
Kaiba looked one more time at the now sleeping boy and then left.
~In the office~
Yami walked into the empty office.
He closed the door and leaned against it. After letting out a deep sigh, he gathered himself together and walked to the chair. When he sat down, he closed his eyes and let the past events flow in his mind.
‘What’s the matter with me? Normally it won’t be very difficult to talk with one of my prisoners, so why was it difficult now? That boy sure is strange…’
The door opened and Bakura and Marik entered.
“What was that all back there?” asked a curious Marik. Bakura just leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest. He had his eyes closed, but you could just feel that he was amused at everything that had happened today.
“I-…!” Yami started but someone else cut him off.
“I hope you’ll never do that again Yami! This is very serious. That boy may not look like it, but he is very dangerous!
You should read his papers for the thing why he is in here, it is just pure craziness.” Kaiba said while he threw the papers on the desk. Bakura finally opened his eyes now to look at the paperwork.
Yami reached for the papers and got up.
“I think I’m going home now, to read this all. I guess you can handle it further in here?” He said and the others nodded. Marik reached in his pocket and threw the keys at Yami
~Back to Yugi~
~*~Yugi’s POV~*~
I shivered in my cold, new ‘room’ while I lay down on the hard bed. Everyone just left and I pretended to be asleep. I needed some time in peace, just to think about everything.
I rolled up to a little ball and felt that tears were slowly coming a way down my face. Why did Rebecca have to be the one that died…? Why could I not help her…?
Oh god… Why is that creep with that strange eye laughing? It is a cold and hateful laugh. I shivered again as I looked up at the strange person. The laughing stopped, but now he was staring at me, or rather, through me. “My my, Yugi, you have done some cruel things. Tssk, tssk! And that’s why you’re here?” My eyes widened as laughter again followed, this time harder. He was teasing me, but how did he know?
I looked up as the door from the office opened. I could see Bakura leaning against the doorframe, but, after a few seconds, Yami walked out. He looked a little flustered. The boy quickly walked to a door that looked like the main door I came through just a few minutes ago. I could hear the ringing of keys. Was he going home? Oh well… why should I care, I am just a killer, am I not? *sigh*
Yami looked up at hearing a sigh. Our eyes met and I looked straight into crimson eyes. In a second, I thought he smiled at me, but it left as quickly as it came and Yami looked at the door again. The door opened with a shriek and I shivered because of it.
