Chapter Seven
A few days past and there already seemed to be a change in Yami's behaviour, he seemed slightly more positive and seemed to be beginning to gain control over the darkness. The doctors had put him on anti-psychotic medication which, as far as Yugi understood, was helping Yami to stay mentally stable. Yugi couldn't really understand the medical details but as far as he was aware the medication Yami was being given was helping which is all he cared about. Although Yami seemed to be slowly improving he would not talk to the councillor. This was important as Yami needed to talk to enable himself to improve further.
Yugi had been in visiting Yami for the whole day but Grandpa seemed to be becoming worried about his school work so had forced him to go back to school meaning he would not get to visit Yami until after. Yami didn't seem to mind, well he hadn't said whether or not he minded. When Yugi had mentioned to him about returning to school he'd just shrugged and said 'Ok'. Grandpa also visited Yami but he would not stay as long as Yugi would. As hard as it was to have Yami there, both Grandpa and Yugi knew that what they were doing was the best thing for Yami.
Yugi watched as Yami was trying to build a card tower on his bed. He smiled slightly when the card tower fell and a sigh of disappointment came from Yami. As the bed's occupant began to rebuild the tower, Yugi's gaze unconsciously locked on the plastic band around the latter's wrist. On said wristband was Yami's name, ward name and a word which Yugi could not make out. Yami had been issued with the wristband soon after he had first been admitted. In some ways it served as a reminder of... everything. Why he was here, What had brought him here and what started this whole chain of events off. Yugi signed internally when he remembered the conversation with Doctor Wilson when he'd arrived today. He had said that Yami was going to have to stay another week. But this was to be expected, Yugi could hardly have hoped that within one day Yami would be back to normal. This would be a long process.
He turned his attention back to Yami who was still trying to re-build his tower.
"You know, that is never going to work. The blanket is too bumpy."
Yami scoffed, slightly, "You have no faith."
Yugi smiled to himself as a tiny part of Yami's personality had come out in his reply. But that smile faded when he saw Yami's hand tremble slightly a clear sign that the darkness was talking to him.
Taking a breath Yugi asked a question which had been burning for some time;
"Yami?" The other looked at him, "Why aren't you talking to the councillor?"
Yami paused, still looking and Yugi and bit his lip.
"I - They..."
/Don't you dare./
"It doesn't matter."
"Of course it does Yami! She wants to help you."
Yami looked away, he so wanted to tell Yugi what was going on but...
/Say nothing. It's not worth words now, in a few days this will all be finished and you pathetic little human will be -/
"Yami!" Yugi had come over to him, "Please, you have to talk. It's all well and good this medication working but you have to talk to someone."
The Pharaoh made no response, just stared at his hands. He only raised his eyes slightly when Yugi had walked back to his chair. As much as he wanted to say he couldn't. He couldn't say.
Rain. Rain. Rain. Since when had Domino City become part of England*? Yugi splashed his way towards school, it was safe to say that he was beginning to get very frustrated. He had been trying to get Yami to tell him what was going on to no success. He had tried to talk to Yami, but he never said anything. Yugi knew Yami too well. He knew something wasn't right but there was no way of getting Yami to talk when he didn't want to. Yugi had thought about trying their mind link. But, he had no clue whether it was still there and if it was he did not want to scare Yami further with yet another voice in his head.
Once inside the school Yugi made his way to class. He didn't wait by his locker for Tea, like he normally did. Nor did he greet her once she found him in class. This was the story throughout the day, Yugi was completely disconnected from everything around him. He wasn't paying attention in class and barely made any notes. This, of course, drew the attention of the teachers who took to saying his name every five minutes to check whether he was concentrating. During the breaks, he would follow his friends blindly. Nothing was said by his friends, but by lunch they were fed up with it.
"Yugi." A quiet noise was the response, "What is wrong with you today?"
Yugi looked up at Joey, "It's nothing. Really, don't worry about it."
"It's obviously not thing." Tristan commented.
"Is it something to do with the Pharaoh, I mean you haven't spoken of him for awhile now."
Yugi stood, "Look it's nothing, I can handle it."
With that he strolled off. It wasn't that he was angry at his friend or the Pharaoh, it was the fact that he was trying so hard to help Yami and nothing was coming out of it. His friends watched him go, each one of them knew something was going on.
The end of day bell rang and Yugi was one of the first ones out. But. He was tried way towards his destination when he stopped. Sighed. Turned and walked in the complete opposite direction, keeping his head low the whole time. He arrived home in no time at all, once there he dumped his bag and took to pacing. Grandpa came into the living having heard the noise.
"Yugi? What's wrong? Why haven't you gone to see Yami?"
"I-I can't get him to talk. Something is wrong but he won't talk to me."
Grandpa stepped forwards slightly, "Give him time Yugi, you know what going on with him, he will talk to you just give him time."
Yugi exploded, "No! No he won't! He won't tell me a damn thing!
Grandpa rushed over and pulled Yugi into a hug . He could feel Yugi shaking slightly.
"It's ok Yugi, everything will be ok."
" Everything won't be alright! Yami's in a freakin' psychiatric ward!"
Grandpa 'shhed' Yugi who had begun to cry.
It could only get better from here, they had hit rock bottom and things from now can only get better. Right?
Wrong.
Little did Yugi know this was just the calm before the storm.
