Sorry it took so long to update. I do not have a computer at home so I had to wait till I was back at school. Now that I am I will be updating more frequently. Please enjoy chapter 4.

Black clouded Yugi's vision as the young man was sprawled on the pavement, his wounds bleeding proficiently and causing him much pain. The cuts on his arms, legs and cheek were bleeding much slower than the stab wound he had on his stomach. His black tank top and black leather pants were covered in his blood making some places in them seem redder than black. His clothing was also tattered from being thrown to the concrete in such a way that it caused his shirt and pants to be ripped from snagging on the grounds debris. It took everything Yugi had to stay conscious long enough for someone to come across him.

Within ten minutes of when Atem left, a young looking girl no older than the age of sixteen spotted little Yugi and his array of wounds. She knelt beside him and began to speak but Yugi could not decipher her words, for the darkness in his vision began to take over his eye sigh again. Before Yugi lost complete consciousness he uttered one thing. "…Atem…" The girl took out her black flip cell phone and dialed the numbers that could save Yugi's life, 911. Moments later an ambulance arrived and paramedics placed Yugi on a stretcher: his face was pale, eyes closed and his breathing was coming slowly and shallow. He was placed within the ambulance and it drove away; the only thing at the school that showed Yugi had been there was the blood puddle with smears on the concrete.

When Yugi awoke he was in a hospital bed wearing a white hospital gown, his wounds were stitched up and bandaged. In his arm was an IV needle and connected to it was also a bag of blood being flowed into his blood stream. Around the young duelist was a side table, a light blue couch and two chairs on both sides of his bed. A bathroom was located by the door, and a wardrobe to the right of the bathroom. No one was in the room except for Yugi and a little heart monitor that's beeping was beginning to annoy him greatly. Even with three blankets on him, Yugi was shaking like a leaf. His entire body was cold and felt as cold as ice.

For just a moment when he had been dying on the cold cement, he had everything he had wanted since Atem went to the afterlife. Yugi had been in Atem's arms, and his love had come back from the dead. True Yugi did not feel anything when Atem had been touching him, but he had felt his breath come back to him in what felt like forever.

'Atem…. you said that everything would be better soon. What did you mean by that? I'll trust your judgment and keep holding on for a while longer, but I don't know how long I can last, please hurry.'

He gazed straight ahead at the pure white walls, as his purple eyes filled with tears with uncertainty and fear of not knowing what would happen with his dark. The young Aibou decided it best to just push out his emotions out of his mind until he was ready to deal with them. Once the emotions were under control the tears vanished from his eyes seemingly evaporating into thin air. What were once hurt filled purple eyes now held a haze over them, and seemed to not hold any emotion what so ever. For all Yugi knew Atem could come back or he could not; it was better to make himself not care than to get his hopes up and only to be crushed. Memories of him would still come to the front of his mind, but at least he wouldn't break down into tears every time he thought of them. Atem was his world, and Yugi wanted nothing more than to be back with him.

He would do anything to be back in the old days where Atem was trying to get his memories back, and his spirit was in the Millennium Puzzle. The puzzle had served as a link between the two for four years; it had been a welcomed weight on his chest. One of the most difficult things Yugi had ever had to do other than letting Atem go to the afterlife was relinquish the Millennium Puzzle. A year ago the puzzle had still been hanging from his neck and Atem his Pharaoh had still been with him. One year ago his love had left, and he didn't have the courage to tell him how he felt. It was ironic in a way; Atem had supposedly taught him how to be courageous, but in the end he couldn't even say those three words.

Outside his window the sky was beginning to darken, and the wind had picked up. Tree limbs were at the mercy of the wind just as Yugi was at the mercy of life. For the young man wanted nothing more than to be blown away in the wind. Yugi wanted to be forgotten, and able to give up and just be with his Mou Hitori No Boku. Not one of his 'friends' would be able to understand his pain and depression, Joey had Kaiba and Tea and Tristan were together. Out of his group he was the only one who didn't have a partner that was able to stay with him.

There was no way around it, he could not and would not love someone other than Atem. No matter how many guys and women flirted with him or tried to steal a kiss, they would never mean anything to him. Love was something that had been new to the light and he had wanted to experience the joys of it with the Pharaoh. He gazed out the window again and saw the darkness that had covered the land as if it was the Shadow Realm. With thoughts of his past with Atem in his head Yugi closed his big purple eyes, and fell into a dreamless sleep. He felt as if his Yami's arms were wrapped around him instead of the blue blanket. Protecting him form everything that may try to harm him.

"Pharaoh… Atem…love you"
