Insanity's Hold

Yugi laid in his bed, only pretending to be asleep. His yami and grandfather were in the room, whispering about him. Yugi was careful to keep his breathing heavily but slow in order to keep them from knowing his current awakened state. Yugi didn't know how long Atemu had been watching him before he heard his grandfather enter the room.

"He is still in shock, Atemu." Yugi's grandfather said patiently. "You must give him more time."

Atemu sighed deeply and Yugi squinted one eye open to see his other half rubbing his temple with on hand and leaning against the wall with the other. "I know, I know. I just can't stand this." He whispered. "I'm worried about him. He barely sleeps, he doesn't eat, he won't leave the house---,"

"Where do you expect him to go?" His grandfather asked calmly.

"Anywhere." His darkness replied. "It's not healthy for him to sit here all day crying. What am I talking about, you've seen him! We've tried talking to him but he won't say anything. What else can I do?"

Yugi closed his eye and let out a soft moan, rolling onto his side. The other two people in the room were extremely quiet and Yugi was sure they were watching him carefully. Yugi's grandfather spoke after a few minutes of complete silence. "Perhaps it would be best to finish this conversation elsewhere. Yugi needs his rest."

Yugi waited as they left the room. The click of his door told him they were gone for good. Yugi sat up and looked at his clock. It was two in the morning. His guardians were up this late worrying about him? Yugi frowned and got out of bed. He crept over to his bathroom and shut the door. The teen looked in the sink and took a deep breath. Turning the faucet on, he slashed some cold water on his face, massaging his eyes wearily.

The young teen looked up in the mirror and realized the reasons for his guardian's concerns. The teen had dark bas under his eyes, his already thin body looked unhealthy, and his spiky hair drooped carelessly across his face. Yugi took some more water and used it to make his hair stand up again. When it didn't work, Yugi turned off the faucet and look back in the mirror.

As hard as he tried, he could not stop his eyes from moving to the single photograph taped to side of his bathroom mirror. Yugi felt his eyes tear up as he stared at his prized possession. Five smiling faces met his sad one.

It had been four months.

Four months ago, Yugi had paid for a trip to go to Europe. He had paid for all six of his friends to go. It was going to be the trip of a lifetime. Three months touring Paris, Rome, London, and other exotic places. Yugi had wanted to go on such a trip in order to make up for all the slightly…interrupted ones they had taken when his other half had so many demons to battle.

Atemu was unable to make it. He was sure that Yugi's grandfather was going to need help around the shop and he had told Yugi that he could simply send photos and it would be like he was with them. Yugi had been very disappointed but he had refused to let anyone ruin this vacation.

On May 9th, they all boarded a small aircraft, thanks to Kaiba, and headed Europe. Eight people boarded the flight, and only one walked on the land ever again. During the land, the plane hit some turbulence. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem, however, the plane was going faster than it should have. When the plane hit a shear of wind, it literally exploded.

Yugi remembered little about the flight. He remembered boarding, watching the ocean, even eating a tuna sandwich. He remembered watching Honda, Anzu, Kaiba, Ryou, and Mai laughing at something Jou said. He remembered thinking everything was perfect.

The next thing Yugi remembered was the hospital. There was a bunch of Frenchman shouting to him, yelling at him in a language he didn't understand. Yugi remembered feeling great pain in every single portion of his body. What he didn't remember was seeing his friends crowding around him telling him he was going to make it, telling him that they were okay and this was all just a big misunderstanding.

The next few days went by like a blur for Yugi. He remembered his grandfather peaking at him from above, telling him to hang in there. He remembered feeling needles poking at him in all directions. He remembered the feeding tube being shoved down his throat. Everything was happening so fast.

When Yugi finally woke up, He felt his hand being tightly held by another being. Yugi remembered turning his head to see his darkness clasping their hands together. He watched Yugi with sorrow-filled eyes as Yugi glanced around.

Yugi remembered the story Atemu told him. Yugi thought he was kidding. All of his friends? All of them? Gone? Impossible! Very funny Pharaoh. It was wasn't a joke.

When the plane fell to pieces, Yugi's body had been perfectly planted between two seats, saving him from most of the debris flying threw the air. Pieces of the plane landed on the airstrip as well as broken bodies. Yugi's light weight had kept the impact to a minimum. The first people on the scene sad it was a miracle that he survived. His body had been mingled with seats from the plane, keeping his fall low grade.

Just because he had survived didn't mean he didn't suffer. Yugi had completely shattered his pelvis and his right arm. When Atemu was finished telling Yugi what happened, the hikari laughed. It was funny, sick, but funny. He never knew his other could be so twisted. As twisted as telling him that his friends, the friends he had invited on a vacation, the friends that were in the same plane as him, the very friends he was right beside, were gone? Very twisted.

However, the former king didn't laugh back. Instead, he stood and carefully climbed onto the hospital bed next to Yugi. He placed both hands on his shoulders and made the teenager look at him. Yugi knew the look of fear in his eyes had scared the king when Yugi finally realized it wasn't a joke. It wasn't funny. His friends were dead. And he was the only survivor.
