Chapter 3: Treatment
It was now Saturday morning and Yugi was preparing to take the legs braces over to the Sennen household, Yugi himself was wondering if Atem was willing to through the treatment, it was quite painful and not many people went through the entire process.
After packing the braces in a secure case, he heard knocking at the door. Frowning, he made sure everything was ready before answering the door. When he opened the door, he saw a young man about his age, with pale white skin and chocolate brown eyes, he knew the person was and broke out in a big smile.
"Hey Ryou, it's good to see you," he said stepping aside to let his friend in.
"Thank you Yugi, I hope I didn't drop in at a bad time," he said looking around to see the medical braces that he packed.
"Don't worry about, I got to visit one of my patients, you can come along if you want?" He asked, seeing a little hesitation in his friends face.
"Are you sure, I mean, I didn't think you had to go anywhere today."
"Sorry, but do you want to come? I may need the help."
Ryou seemed hesitant at first, but he agreed to come along. It was hard for him to refuse with the strong caring nature that he had.
"So, who you going to see?" Ryou asked as he made some tea and coffee for Yugi and himself.
"I'll be heading over to the Sennen mansion for an appointment with Atem Sennen." He explained, seeing a little surprised look on the face of his old friend, so his spent most of the morning explaining the condition that Atem had and how he was appointed for his treatment. When it was 11:30, they both cleaned up their dirty dishes before loading up Yugi's car and getting in to their seats, buckling in and setting off for the Sennen mansion.
"Are you sure you don't mind me coming with you Yugi? I mean, I could of just stayed at the house." Ryou asked from the passenger seat next to Yugi.
"I told you Ryou, it's fine, and I already said that I needed some help," Yugi replied, it was not a secret that Ryou could be quite shy a lot of the time, and felt like he was intruding on a persons personal space when he was invited along with a friend, but he was still a very good friend that could understand any problems that somebody would have.
In the middle of their conversation, Yugi's phone started to ring, but since he was driving he couldn't answer it.
"Could you answer that for me Ryou?" He asked his white haired friend, who gladly decided to help out.
"Hello?"
"Hello, um, sorry I believe I have the wrong number."
"It's okay, who are you trying to call?" Ryou asked, with Yugi getting interested in the conversation going on.
"Dr Yugi Muto," the voice replied.
"Oh it's fine, he's right here, one moment, I'll put you on speaker." He pressed a the speaker phone button. "All right, you can talk to him now."
"Dr Muto?" the voice asked.
"Atem, I'm on my over now, I hope you don't mind but I'm bringing a friend to help." A deep chuckle could be heard, and Yugi had the faintest of blushes on his face, but Ryou seemed to notice the blush.
"Don't worry about it, is that the person that answered?" Atem questioned.
"Yes it is, but please, since I'm calling you by your name, could you do the same for me?"
"Alright Yugi, I was hoping that you wouldn't mind one of my friends coming over, he literally just called, but I'll warn you now that he is very hard to get along with." Atem warned the two young men.
"That's fine; I have one or two difficult friends to get along with as well." Yugi replied while trying to control the blush on his face, but Ryou was able to clearly see that blush.
"Alright then, when do you think you'll be here?"
"About 10 minutes, that alright with you?"
"That's fine, I'll see you then." Atem hung his phone and Ryou did the same with Yugi's phone before turning to his friend.
"You like him don't you?" he asked rather bluntly, shocking Yugi but not enough to make him crash. Luckily, Yugi was able to keep control of the vehicle before sending his friend a quick glance.
"What are you talking about?" He questioned, not taking his eyes of the road.
"Oh come come Yugi, I could see the blush on your face from miles away. So, what gives?" Ryou asked, getting very curious about this new patient.
"Well I don't know, he is just a charming man, well mannered and doesn't flaunt his wealth like other rich people that I have seen. Plus he doesn't look down on to other people like some others that would." Yugi explained as he finally pulled up in front of the gates to the Sennen mansion, the sheer size of it was just amazing, but he would have to get past security first.
"Can I help you young man?" A young woman asked, she was wearing a female security outfit with trousers and a button up shirt, her security bag, her belt with some pepper spray, baton, handcuffs and her name tag, Ishizu Ishtar.
"Yes, I'm here to see Atem Sennen, my name is Yugi Muto." He explained and Ishizu checked over her list and found his name close to the top of the visitors list.
"Ah yes, here you are, right on time. Mr Sennen should be in his bedroom, he usually is at this time." She said as she pressed a button that opened the gates.
"Good day sir, Mrs Sennen said you would be coming, may we take your bags?" One of them asked, which creped Yugi and Ryou out, but never the less, Yugi accepted his offer as the one that asked grabbed the bags that he needed while the other one showed the two young men in to the mansion, and their jaws instantly dropped.
The hallway in the mansion was enormous, neither of the men had ever seen anything like it before, but footsteps brought the two out of their day dreaming. Walking over to them was a middle aged woman that reminded Yugi of Atem.
"Good day gentlemen, I'm Amunet Sennen, you must be Dr Muto, it is a pleasure to see you." She as she shakes hands with Yugi, who gave a friendly smile.
"Thank you Mrs Sennen, but please call me Yugi. Oh and this is Ryou Bakura, he's a friend here to help if needed." Amunet looked at Ryou and shakes his hand, seeing some similarities between him and her sons friend.
"Bakura Travis, get your ass back here this instant!" A voice shouted from upstairs, followed by another one.
"Keep your knickers on Atem, it's not like it's gonna kill you!" Amunet smiled before sending an apologetic smile to the two young men.
"I do apologize, my sons friend likes to play tricks on him, most common one being hiding his wheelchair so he can't get of his bed." Yugi now had bug eyes, but then again it was only friendly teasing, something that he knew all to well.
"It's alright, that happens to me every now and then as well."
"Very well, let me show you to my sons room." Yugi grabbed the bag he needed before he and Ryou followed Amunet up the stairs down many twists and turns until they finally arrived in front of two oak doors, where they could here some small bickering coming from the inside of the room. Amunet opened the door and walked in, followed by Yugi and Ryou, now looking at two men who could be mistaken for their twins.
Amunet gave a small cough to grab their attention, and it did since they both gave their full attention to the new arrivals. Bakura was on the floor with Atem on top of him pulling on his hair, it looked like a rather childish scene.
"Are you two finished, because if you didn't notice we have guests." She said gesturing to Yugi and Ryou who both had curious looks on their faces.
"Sorry mother, but this pin head here nicked my memory stick, and its got all the plans for my latest project." Atem explained, while pointing down to the now sulking Bakura.
"Alright Bakura, give him back the memory stick and I'll get him off you." Bakura gave a frustrated sigh.
"Okay, just get this dead wait off me."
"Hey!" The exchanging was done and Atem was placed on his bed while Bakura went to sit at the desk in the room, although he was taking the odd glance at Ryou.
"It's good to see you again Atem, how have your legs been? Yugi questioned as Atem got comfortable on his queen size bed.
"They have been fine, I'm just a little anxious."
"It is understandable, now shall we begin." With some help from Ryou Yugi placed both the leg braces on the lower part of the bed, grabbing Atem's curiosity.
"Now these are the first steps in to the process for you, and I will warn you that it can be quite painful."
"I understand Yugi, should I remove my trousers?" Atem asked, Bakura gave a small chuckle, but stopped when Amunet gave him a glare.
"It would make it easier if you did."
With the help of his mother, Atem was able to remove his trousers, leaving him in his silk boxers and his button up shirt. In that time, Yugi and Ryou loosened the straps on the leg braces so it would be easier to fir them on to Atem's leg.
"Okay, everything is ready. You may wish to hold on to something Atem."
Atem raised his eyebrows before turning to face Bakura, who seemed confused at why he was staring at him.
"What are you looking at me for?" He questioned, noticing the scheming look on Atem's face.
"Well Bakura, since I'm lying down, I can't hold on to anything strong enough for my grip, and I would never dare harm my mother, so you're the only option left."
"Oh no you don't, use snow white over there instead."
"Who are you calling snow white baboon boy?" Ryou demanded, coming up with an insult of his own, which didn't impress Bakura.
"Baboon boy, what kind of insult is that?"
"One that matches your skin, it reminds one of the fur on a baboon, not nice to get a taste of your own medicine is it?" Bakura seemed lost for words, no one has stood up to him like that, but it did heighten his interest in the boy.
"So are you going to help your friend out, or do I have to make a trail of dates for you to follow?" Both Atem and Yugi were clutching at their sides because of how funny this scene was, even Amunet was trying her best not to laugh.
"Alright, I'll help." He got up and walked over to the bed where he sat at the side, close enough if Atem needed to hold on.
"Right, lets move on shall we?" Yugi questioned and got a nod from everyone. So he began fastening the medical braces around Atem's legs, who didn't find it that painful, that is until the second out of six straps were tightened.
"AH GOD!" He tried to sit up to take the brace off, but since Bakura was by his side, he managed to get him to lie back down, but it was difficult since Atem was trying hard to sit up.
"Mr Travis, I suggest you use all your body weight to keep Atem down." Then Yugi tightened the third strap, causing Atem to lurch forward and nearly knocking Bakura over, but he was ready. He grabbed the struggling man, holding his arms by his sides as he continued to try and loosen the straps on his leg. With all his body weight on top of Atem and his arms pinned to his sides, he nodded to Yugi for him to go on.
"I'm really sorry about this Atem," Yugi said as he tightened the next two straps, with Atem continuously trying to remove them, but with little success. Screams torn through his throat, as the final strap was tightened.
"Oh please, just loosen it a little," Atem begged, still trying to get up to remove the straps, but with Bakura holding him down, he was not get far, but he still had enough strength to almost sit up completely.
"Alright snow white, mind giving me a hand?" Bakura asked as he started to struggle to keep Atem down. Ryou was tempted to ignore him, but he could see the trouble that he was having in trying to restrain the CEO, so he too put all his body weight on top of Atem and held his arms to his side, finally keeping him under control.
Yugi moved on to the final strap out of the six, he took a quick glance at the face of Atem and could see the pain written all over it. He sent an apologetic look before quickly tightening the last strap, and Atem lurched forward with all of his strength, nearly knocking the two off him, but they still only managed to keep the struggling man down.
"Okay guys, keep him down, I still have to place his other leg in a brace." Hearing that comment made Atem struggle even more against the two white haired males, and they weren't enough to keep him down, even Yugi tried to join in in trying to calm him down, but he was also failing. But when voices were heard, their luck began to change.
"Mrs Sennen, are you up there? Mr Kaiba and Bomani are here," Johnson said from downstairs, and Amunet thanked every god out there for the two men's timing.
"You two had better get up here and fast." Hurried footsteps could be heard and soon enough, both Seto and Marik stood in the door way, staring at the scene in front of them. A restrained Atem, Bakura and someone they didn't know helping to hold him down and someone who they thought could be Atem's twin.
"If you two knuckle heads are through staring, get over here and keep him down." Bakura said as Atem was beginning to overpower the two holding him down. Naturally, Seto and Marik listen and quickly added their body weight to the growing mass over Atem, finally pining him down.
"Keep him down," Yugi moved on to preparing the next leg for the brace, he could all ready see that Atem's other leg had been set straight while the other one was still twisted, and now that he already had one leg that was causing him pain, having a second one on would only increase his desire to remove them. So with little time to waste, he began strapping down his other leg, and as he predicted, Atem began to struggle even more against the four bodies over him, but he was having little success.
No one knows how long it took to strap down Atem's second leg, but they finally managed to do it, but only after much struggling to restrain the man. So now, only Amunet was in the bedroom with Atem, who was sweating and panting very heavily.
"You will be fine my son," she said as she cleaned away the sweat away from her sons head with a cold wash cloth.
"Mother, so much pain," Atem whispered in a very laboured voice, unable to hide the pain he was in.
"Sssshhh, sleep my child, you need it," and just like that, Atem drifted in to sleep, unable to stay awake any longer.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the main living room of the mansion, Yugi and Ryou sat on one of the sofas, with three of the most powerful men in the world questioning them.
"So, firstly you're telling us that your the new doctor for Atem. Secondly have invented a ground breaking treatment to help people in cases similar to Atem and/or like him. Thirdly you are trying out this new treatment on Atem and finally you bring your friend along, which in turn makes Bakura just stares at his ass the whole time he is here." Melvin listed on his fingers, only just managing to duck from one of Bakura's punches. Yugi seemed confused while Ryou was trying to hide his blush, but a certain blond haired Egyptian noticed the blush.
"Well, besides that last point, you are correct." Yugi replied, but before the questioning could continue, Amunet walked in to the room, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Atem is sleeping, so please keep it down, and thank you Mr Muto and Mr Bakura. Is there anything else we need to know before you head off?" She asked the young doctor, who in turn pulled out a small booklet that was a quarter inch thick and a small bag of supplies, and handed it to the mother.
"Everything that will be needed to be done is in this booklet with a small bag of some items that you will need, just call if you have any problems." The mother took the booklet and bag of supplies and gave her thanks before Yugi and Ryou both left the Sennen mansion, leaving the small family and group of friends to chat about today's events, and to plan how they were going to take care of Atem, now that he was having his new treatment.
8 elements: as promised, here is the next chapter.
Bakura: What kind of insult is Baboon Boy!
8 elements: Well, I needed you to get a bit of a tongue lashing, plus I wanted you to find someone that could give you a run for your money.
Atem: I think it's a great idea.
Bakura: Shut it Atem!
8 elements: oi vay, as I said, maybe a week to a week and a half until next chapter, until then. ( The baboon comment with the dates is something I learned, Ancient Egyptians use to train baboons to pick dates from trees, so I though I put that in.
