Hello to all the people who read my story and have been waiting a month for it to be updated! I discovered Role Playing on Facebook and got distracted! XD Oh well, I'm back and am updating all my stories! So, here is chapter 4 of Elemental Staffs! WooHoo!

Yugi laid in his bed, in the room across the hall from where Atem was sleeping. But, Yugi couldn't sleep. He felt to stressed. His brother was almost killed, both of them actually! His best friend was taken away by his evil brother! And this whole thing with the staffs! Guh, it just made him feel sick! Yugi just wanted his life back to normal…But for Atem to stay.

Yugi sat up in his bed. His creaky and very noisy bed. He mentally cursed at his bed before glancing over to his friend Marik, who had decided to stay the night, to make sure he didn't wake him. Thankfully he didn't. He got up out of his bed trying to be as quiet as possible, with little success, and walked to his brother Yami's room. He peeked in the door. Surprisingly, Yami wasn't asleep, but standing in front of his window and staring at the stars outside.

"Yami?" Yugi whispered, only loud enough to be heard by Yami.

Yami gasped and snapped his head around. "Oh, Yugi! You startled me! What is it? Why are you awake?" Yami asked when he noticed it was only Yugi.

"I can't sleep. I feel really stressed by all this!" Yugi said, walking into his older siblings room and taking a seat upon his much quieter bed. "I mean, you almost getting killed, Atem almost getting killed after us just getting him back! Ryou leaving us!" Yugi stated with a trembling voice, trying to hold back tears from spilling out of his eyes.

Yami walked over to Yugi and sat next to him on the bed, putting an arm around Yugi, pulling him into a hug. "It's ok Aibou. As you can see, Atem and I are perfectly fine now. And as for the staff, we just need to train and get stronger. Bakura has on disadvantage from us."

Yugi looked up at his brother with tear filled eyes. "What's that?"

"We have friends. If we all work together and combine our powers, I'm sure we can defeat Bakura and rescue Ryou." Yami told Yugi, smiling confidently before leaning down and pecking Yugi's forehead with a kiss.

Yugi smiled, but let the tears in his eyes flow. He hugged his brother, burying his face in Yami chest and crying. "Yami, I'm scared! I don't want to loose any more of my friends! Ryou was my best friend!"

Yami rubbed Yugi's back, trying to calm him down. "I know Aibou. Please don't cry." Yami cooed. It broke his heart seeing Yugi this upset. Whenever Yugi cried, Yami cried. He tried not to let his brother see him cry so he wouldn't worry anymore then he already was. But he couldn't manage to hold back his own tears.

Yugi felt something wet fall on his cheek. He looked up and saw Yami was crying too.

"Yami, why are you crying?" He asked his older brother, who smiled down at him with the best of his ability.

"I never like seeing you upset. Whenever you cry, I cry too. But I try to never let you see so you don't worry." Yami wiped his face with his palm, before drying Yugi's face of tears with his thumb.

Yami let Yugi cry on his shoulder until he heard his sobs quiet down. After that, Yugi sat in Yami's embrace for a few minutes before Yami broke the silence.

"Would you like to sleep in here tonight Yugi?" He asked Yugi, who just nodded. Yami unwrapped his arms from around Yugi and crawled over to the spot on the bed closest to the wall. Yugi was about to crawl over next to his older brother when they both heard a knock at Yami's door. Yami and Yugi looked over to the door and saw Atem standing in the doorway.

"What're you two doing awake?" He asked. "I heard you two talking and came to see what was up."

Yugi answered. "I couldn't sleep, so I came in here to talk to Yami. I was gonna sleep with Yami tonight." Yugi said, crawling over to the spot next to his brother.

Atem walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Is everything alright Yugi?" He asked Yugi, concern obviously showing on his face.

Yugi sighed. "Yeah, just a little stress about this whole situation is all." He replied, laying his head down on the extra pillow Yami had on his bed.

Atem put his hand on Yugi's arm and rubbed it. "Everything will be fine Yugi. Trust me. I'm here to help all of you."

"Well, yes. But you're injured! And you were nearly killed out there! You can't fight until you're better. You really probably shouldn't be out of bed now." Yugi told Atem, who chuckled.

"I'm going back to bed. I just came in here to see what was going on."

"Ok, good night Atem." Yugi said to his eldest brother who smiled.

"Good night Yugi." He said, patting Yugi's shoulder before getting up and walking out the door.

Yugi rolled around on the bed to face his brother.

"I suppose you really miss Ryou?" Yami asked Yugi.

"What makes you say so?"

"Well," Yami started, propping his head up on his hand "I remember a few years back, you told me you kinda liked Ryou." Yami smirked.

Yugi felt himself blush. Yami didn't notice because of how dark it was. "You still remember that? It was so long ago." Yugi said.

"It wasn't that long ago! Only three years! You were eleven!" Yami chuckled at Yugi. "And I can see you blushing! It may be dark, but your blush is darker."

Yugi pouted at his brother before rolling around to face the other way. "Shut up!" He said playfully.

Yami grabbed Yugi's shoulder and turned him back over. "Oh come on! I'm just kidding with you! Also, it's kinda cute. You still liking Ryou even after three years. Are you ever going to actually make a move and maybe ask him out?" Yami asked his younger brother, who just shrugged.

"I don't know. What if he doesn't like me back?" Yugi asked his brother.

"You'll never know unless you try." Yami said, laying his head down on his pillow and closing his eyes.

Yugi did the same. "Night Yami."

"Night Yugi."

Yugi said one more thing before slipping off into sleep. "I love you, brother."
