So um I hope you really like this story and if you do read it then tell me what you think by sending me a review or e-mail me directly.

Chapter 1 Accident
The town of Domino, the place where this story begins. The residents of this town knew about Yugi Motuo, a young duelist who had at one point become the King of Games after he defeated Maximillian Pegasus, creator of a game known as Duel Monsters
People didn't know about his secrets. For starters, people weren't aware that the spirit of the pharaoh named Atemu was his best friend, and he had helped him save the world from the forces of evil long ago.
Back then Yugi Motuo still played Duel Monsters, though nowadays Yugi rarely played anymore.
Five years had passed since Kaiba's Battle City Tournament took place, since the Leviathan was defeated and destroyed along with the seals of Orichalcos, and five years since the Grand Prix tournament.
Five years had come and gone since the memory world and the Ceremonial Duel took place. A time so short that seemed like an eternity.
Things were a lot more peaceful now in the town of Domino, the evil spirit of the tomb robber Bakura was vanquished from both the Memory World and the Millennium Ring, he wasn't going to come back ever.
Yes, things were going well. Pharaoh Atemu now had a body of his own and had changed his name to Yami. Yami was free now from the Millennium Puzzle all thanks to Yugi, though the fact remained that he could no longer enter his final resting place amongst his family and friends.
Since that was the case Yami really didn't have nothing more to do, nowhere else to go. Yugi had offered his own home it seemed like a great idea even Yugi's grandfather had accepted. In a sense Yami became well, one of the family seeing how he and Yugi look very much alike. Then again they were the same person, sort of.
The other Millennium Items had become lost after the Ceremonial Battle. The only item that they had managed to escape with was the Millennium Puzzle itself.
The item itself served no use anymore since Yami was no longer bound to it, so he and Yugi decided to take it apart. That way it could never be used by anyone even though the true power lied within the pharaoh himself.
However, the Millennium Puzzle still had some magical properties that that made it easy to be tracked down. The pieces of the Millennium Puzzle were placed inside its protective case and stored away where no one could ever find them.
Slowly things were beginning to go back to normal. Yugi and his friends were back in school, Kaiba was successful with his company. It seemed that nothing could go wrong.
Right?
Five years had passed and now at the age of 20, the once aspiring dancer Téa Gardner was now eight months pregnant with Yugi's unborn child. How it happened, well that was a bit hazy in both their minds. All they could ever recall was going out to a party, having a good time for a while, then waking up and realizing that they were together undressed on the same bed the next morning.
A shock it was to them when they found out a few weeks later that Téa was pregnant. But things worked out and Yugi said that he would take responsibility.
Yugi and Téa apparently weren't the only ones who were doing the surprising. Kaiba had left Domino for quite some time and had returned only recently with the news that he had married Ishizu Ishtar a little more than a year and a half ago. He was also now a father of two, he had a one-year-old boy and a daughter of six months.
They usually stopped by to have maybe a conversation or in Kaiba's case an argument on who's the best duelist even though he knew that Yami and Yugi were the best. But now they were somewhat retired except for Kaiba who still went at it with his dueling competitions.
Anyway back with the story.
Téa was helping Yugi's grandfather with some boxes. The old man placed one of the boxes and looked at Téa with worry.
"Please Téa you don't need to help, you should be resting," he said as he reached into the box and helped lighten the load she was carrying.
"No it's okay I can handle it," she replied as she moved one of the boxes to the left and return to retrieve another. At that moment the sound of a bell ringing sounded throughout the shop as the door opened and Joey and Tristan both walked in.
"Hey Téa, hey gramps. Where's Yugi?" Joey asked as he looked around.
"Oh he went to the grocery store to get some groceries for our Party later this evening," Téa replied as she returned.
"Party?" said Tristan as he realized that Téa needed help, and being the "gentleman" he was offered to help her out. He had suggested to Téa to take it easy, but it didn't seem to bother her.
"Wait? Why weren't we invited?" Joey had cried out not knowing why Yugi made no mention of this to his friends.
"Well it's just going to be dinner between the two of us," said Tea with a slight blush on her face, "he said he had a surprise for me later tonight. I can't wait to know what it is."
"About what?" Yami had come downstairs holding a rather large book, "What's going on?" he asked.
"We were just talking about the surprise Yugi has in store for me. Yami do you know what it could be? "
"No," Yami quickly shook his head, "he didn't tell me, why?"
"Oh, nothing," Téa replied.
"You know Yugi should have gotten back by know, he said he wouldn't take long," Yugi's grandfather said.
"Maybe he hasn't found everything he needs," Tea said.
"But that was more than three hours ago," replied Yami. He was beginning to sound worried now; he placed his book on the counter and took out his cell phone. He tried contacting Yugi but for some reason he wasn't getting a response.
"Anything?" Joey asked, Yami shook his head, "he's not answering his cell…"
"You don't think something wrong happened to him, do you?" Tea said as she too began to worry.
'If only there was a way to reach him, but our mind link…' Yami thought for a moment, he had the weirdest feeling that maybe something was wrong.
"Yami?" Tristan said trying to get the former pharaoh's attention. Yami shook the thought aside and went towards the counter where he retrieved a set of keys. He went out to the living room to get his jacket.
"Wait Yami where are you going?" Gramps asked.
"To find Yugi what else?" Yami replied when his friends and Yugi's grandfather walked into the room.
"Do you even know where to look?" Yami shrugged and was ready to walk out the door when the phone rang. Gramps went and answered it.
"Hello…Yes this is he…what? How?" A few seconds later he placed the phone back.
"What's up Gramps?" said Joey in a tone of concern.
"The hospital they just called to notify that Yugi... He was in an accident and was rushed to the hospital."
"Oh No." They all said in unison. Within 10 minutes they drove to the hospital in a hurry, their friend and family member hurt?
They saw the doctor who was in charge of Yugi. They asked what happened to him, and he explained to them that Yugi was in a car accident.
They weren't quite sure how it happened but knew that two other patients were brought in at the same time as Yugi, presumably from the same accident. Unfortunately one of them did not survive.
Téa gasped in shock after hearing this.
"And Yugi?" Yami asked.
According to the doctors Yugi was critically injured with many broken bones and was bleeding internally in several places. They had put him under through the use of a medically induced coma, so that they could help him.
"The surgery to mend the bones and stop the bleeding was a complete success, but we were unable to wake him up. We believe that he may have also experience some sort of damage to his brain." The doctor had stated.
"But can't you do anything?" Yami asked.
"We're prepping him for another surgery as we speak, though truth be told even if we are able to correct the problem it may still be unlikely that he will regain consciousness anytime soon."
Yami slowly nodded trying to understand what he was being told. He had spent enough time reading and learning about things and places having to do with the modern era, but still this was a bit too much to expect.
"Most patients who suffer from a coma take days, weeks even months to recover. But it is too early to tell whether or not he will show any signs within the next few days."
"But there's gotta be something else you can do," Joey said.
"There is nothing more that I can do, only time can tell… I'm sorry."
The doctor spoke to Yugi's grandfather and informed him that he had some papers to sign. They both walked away a seconds later leaving the group to their thoughts.
'No this couldn't be happening. Not to him, it must be some sort of dream,' Téa thought, tears slowly streaming down her face. Yami who was standing right next to her had noticed and with a look of sympathy and understanding embraced her in hug as she cried.
Days went by and Yugi was beginning to stabilize but he was still in critical condition. The doctor was right, there was still no reaction from Yugi. People came to visit; among them were Kaiba, Ishizu, Marik, Odeon, and Mai.
Even to the most unlikely of people like Maximillian Pegasus. They were all concerned about Yugi it was really touching that they cared and that they were there for them.
Days turned into weeks, and they continued to wait and wait. They hoped that he would come through for them soon, but to no avail.
Eventually as time went they gave up, well it wasn't that they wanted to, but they couldn't wait for him forever. They had lives and dreams of their own, and felt that Yugi would have wanted them to stay true to them.
One by one they began to visit less often, Tristan gave up, and then eventually Joey followed. Their hopes of ever seeing their friend up and awake seemed to diminish as time went by. Even Yugi's own grandfather began to lose hope on his own grandson.
Tea never gave up on him neither did Yami, they would stay at the hospital for hours without sleep convincing themselves that Yugi would regain consciousness.
Each was lost in their own thoughts. Yami reflected on those times when Yugi was by his side, helping him out when Yami was trying to understand things that he had not learned when he and Yugi were not bonded.
If it weren't for Yugi, Yami probably wouldn't be here now.
'You taught me all these things and never gave up, even when I made a mistake or when I got frustrated and did something stupid… You never got angry… Now it's my turn and I'm not going to give up on you.'
Eventually Téa went into labor a little earlier than expected and needed to be admitted not long afterwards. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy. It was the one time when she felt the happiest.
In a sense, the birth of her first child gave hope to Téa and to Yami as well that things would work out. It gave them the strength and courage they needed to continue to hope that Yugi would one day recover.
Téa believed that Yugi would be able to fight it off, for the sake of everything, their child, and their future. Everything that they were going to do together as a family, and how they were going to live happily ever after.
Téa held the baby boy in her arms, it had been four days since she had given birth. She lay in one of the hospital beds; Yami and Yugi's grandfather were sitting down not far from her.
"So have you decided on a name for him yet?" Yami asked, he was a bit anxious to know what Téa was going to call her baby since she hadn't decided yet.
Téa smiled and said, "Yes it's going to be Yuuki."
