Hey!
I am SO sorry it's been so long since I last updated!
There are only three reasons.
One, I was in a play, and that took up a lot of time and energy.
Two, I keep getting interested in other show/movies/books.
Three, I was just plain lazy.
And Four, my childhood house burned down last week…so I was upset about it.
I hope you will forgive me. Sorry.
Now on with the STORY!
Pairings: SetoxYami, JoeyxYugi and of course MalikxYami (more Malik liking Yami than them both, ok?)
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh or any of its characters. So please do not sue me.
WARNINGS: Yaoi (boyxboy relationships), angst, rape, slavery, torture, and a wee bit of bad language. And Seto's wee bit of naughty thoughts!
Blah is Yami talking through mind link.
/blah/ is Yugi talking through mind link
'Blah' thoughts.

The waiting room was quiet; only the sounds of quiet sobbing could be heard coming from a short tri-coloured haired boy.
They had just gotten to the hospital five hours ago, were Yami was taken from Seto's arms and rushed into the emergency room, for surgery.
They had so far no word on Yami's condition, although they could tell that it must be bad from they shape they had found him in, blood everywhere and unconscious.
Yugi was taking it the worst, crying and seeking comfort from his friend's arms. Seto, although he did not show it, was taking it just as bad as Yugi.
"This is all my fault!" Yugi cried out. "If only he hadn't tried to protect me, then none of this would have happened! If only I were stronger! We could have beaten Malik, and none of this would have happened!" Everyone looked sadly at him, then Mokuba said to him. "It is not your fault Yugi! None of us could have seen this coming! But we can't change the past! You know this! So at least be strong for Yami now!" He told him, tears leaking out of his eyes.
'Yami was the one who saved me and Seto. He was the one who always stayed strong for all of us, no matter what! What had Yami ever done to deserve this!' Mokuba thought sadly. 'But Seto is probably taking this just as bad as Yugi. I can see it in his eyes. He is devastated about this. What had he seen Malik doing to Yami? It must have been bad, he hasn't spoken a word after he ordered the pilot to take us to the hospital. He was just holding Yami so tightly, and only let Yugi touch him.' Mokuba looked over to his brother, who was staring blankly at the emergency room doors, waiting for a doctor to come out and tell him how Yami was.
Two hours after Yugi's one and only outburst, the emergency doors opened to reveal a doctor. The doctor was a tall man with short light brown hair and a strict looking face, who was looking sadly at the group of teenagers.
"Are you here for Mr. Mouto?" He asked the group. "Yes, we are! Is he okay!" Yugi asked standing up along with the others.
"My name is doctor McCloud. You may want to sit back down for this." The doctor told them as he walked to stand in front of them. Hesitantly they complied, after all were sitting the doctor McCloud started.
"Mr. Mouto, as far as we can see, has been through a lot of abuse. He has many broken bones, such as; his color-bone, right leg, both wrists, eight ribs, and his right ankle. He has major bruising all over his body. He also had internal bleeding, but we were able to fix that. We have concluded that he was beaten many times, in a short amount of time. He was also, as much as it puzzles us, whipped, and had many torture devises used on him." Here he took a deep breathe. "We have also found reason to believe that Mr. Mouto was brutally raped, more than once. This may most likely lead to mental scaring, in which anything can happen. I am terribly sorry." He told them.
The group sat in shock for a few minutes until Yugi burst out into tears, followed by Tea, Joey, Tristan, and Mokuba. Seto just sat in his seat, eyes wide, and a few tears escaping from his eyes silently.
"Would you like to see him?" Doctor McCloud asked, only receiving nods of all of their heads. "Very well. But please do not wake him. He needs plenty of rest." With that he motioned them to follow. They followed him up a few floors until they reached a door with the number 205 on it. "This is his private room. Please one or two at a time, to decrease the chances of waking him." With that doctor McCloud left them in front of the door.
The group looked at the door with looks of sadness and anger. Yami was in so much pain, and there was nothing any of them could do about it.
"I think Yugi and Seto should go in first." Mokuba suggested to them, when no one moved to open the door.
They just nodded, and said two walked silently into the room, closing the door behind them.
Inside they saw Yami in the white hospital bed.
He looked so small, with machines surrounding him, all wires going to and from him. Needles in his arms, giving both blood and IV. A face mask covered his mouth and nose, giving him oxygen to breathe into his battered lungs. His eyes were closed, his face pale in the dark room. The white sheets on the bed covered up to his waist, but you could see that one leg was bigger than the other, most likely the cast on it. His chest was wrapped in bandages, also his arms, and forehead and eyes. Heart monitor beeping at regular intervals.
Yugi let out a whimper, as he walked over to his other half. "Y-Yami…" He whispered as he sat down beside him, taking his pale hand into his own. His tears went unchecked as he looked at his unconscious darker half.
Seto looked on in shock, anger, and helplessness.
There Yami was, and yet he wasn't. His secret love was unconscious in the hospital bed. Looking for all the world to see, vulnerable.
If he ever saw Malik again, he was a dead man. No one hurt his loved ones and got away with it.
Seto walked over to Yami, sitting opposite of Yugi and taking Yami's other hand, running his thumb over the pale skin.
Yugi looked up at Seto's face. "You really do love him don't you?" He whispered. Seto's head snapped up.
"How did you-?" Yugi smiled. "It's obvious really. But Mokuba also confirmed it to me. I wish I could tell you how he feels, but he never really told me his feelings towards anyone. I think it was because he was only a spirit before." Yugi told him, than sighed. "The only good thing that came out of this is that Yami got his own body. Now he can live his own life." Yugi smiled sadly at the agony of it all.
Seto nodded. "When he is well enough, I want you and him to move in with me. It is safer, and my mansion has an infirmary built in. But the decision is up to you two." Seto told him.
Yugi smiled up at him. "I think we will, but the decision is solely up to Yami if he wants to or not." Seto nodded in agreement.
"I wish there was something I could have done to prevent this…" Yugi sighed.
"Mokuba already told you that you cannot change the past. So try not to look back and regret. We all need to do that." Seto told him. Yugi just nodded.
