Day after day Yugi remained in the hospital in a coma after being shot in the chest. Yami laid beside Yugi with his head in his arms never letting go of his hand. Suddenly Yami felt a gentle squeeze on his bandaged hand causing him to wake up.

"Yugi?" Yugis eyes started to slowly open revealing his beautiful amethyst eyes. "Yugi you're awake." Yugi smiled and was about to speak when his throat started to hurt. "Easy Yugi. You've been in a coma for 10 days.

They had a tube down your throat the first few days when they did surgery on you to remove the bullet from your chest. Lucky for you it went in above your heart missing everything and just barely piercing the skin on your back."

Yugi reached back to find the almost exit hole when Yami stopped him. "You should be taking it easy Yugi. You are still recovering from your fathers torture." Yugis eyes widened causing him to whimper in fear.

Hoping that his father was out of his life for good. Yami placed his hand on Yugis to comfort him. "You have nothing to fear Yugi your father is dead and will never hurt you again." Tears started to fall from Yugis eyes as the fear of his fathers beatings lifted off his chest.

"That's it Yugi just cry and let it all out." Yami stood and took Yugi in his arms feeling his smaller half bury his face into his chest. After he had finished crying his friends came in to see how he was doing.

"Hey Yug. So now that your dick of a dad is six feet under what are you going to do now?" Yugi looked down at Yamis bandaged hand and smiled. "I'm going home to be with the people who truly care about and love me." The others nodded and smiled happy to know that they got their little buddy back.
