Chapter Ten

Seto looked at the doorway the nurse had just left through. He closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. What in the seven hells was going on with his love and his unborn child. He tried to think of anything that would be a rational answer, but with everything that had happened in the past eight years he knew that nothing made sense any more.

Ancient spirits returning from the dead after 3,000 years with the help of golden trinkets, which alone would make you think you, have gone crazy. Not only that, but the one who was Pharaoh now pregnant.

The Gods definitely had a sick sense of humor.

Seto shook his head trying to rid his mind of the thoughts that plagued him. This was no time to be thinking such thoughts as his love fought for his life down the hall.

He shut his eyes tightly and crossed his arms over his chest. He let a deep growl reverberate in his throat as he became more frustrated with each passing second. He was disgusted with the idea of not knowing what was going on. There had to be another way of finding out Yami's condition other than running into the operating room and demanding they tell him.

As the last thought occurred something hit him, he uncrossed his arms and whirled around to look at Yugi. He couldn't believe he was going to ask this. "Do you still have that mind link thing?"

Yugi shook his head. "No, after Yami received a body it seemed to fade. I do sometimes feel his emotions though, but that isn't uncommon with people who are close."

Seto looked defeated at that answer. He was hoping that Yugi would have said yes then at least he would have known if Yami was still among the living and the baby was alright. Instead he had to wait on witless doctors to be the ones to break any news good or bad.

He ran a hand through disheveled chestnut locks as he tried to calm his breathing. It seemed that everyone in the room had their sad eyes on him. He wanted to scream at the heavens. Why did fate seem to have a horrible knack for always singling out the ones he loved or him?

He then got a feeling he hadn't had since the death of his step father.

Sweat began to pour from his brow and his hands began to shake. The uncomfortable feeling of not knowing what to do had triggered the many emotions running through his head. He closed his eyes and took long deep breaths in and out as he tried to calm the fear swelling up inside of him. After all these years he was experiencing an anxiety attack. .

He hated this feeling. He hated himself. He hated not having any control of the situation.

He felt a tug at his arm, but did not have the strength to open his eyes at the moment. That is until he heard the soft whisper.

"Seto are you alright?"

Seto slowly opened his eyes and saw Mokuba staring up at him with grey concerned eyes.

He could offer his brother no words of how he felt, so he gave a short and Kaiba like answer. "I'm going for some air."

Mokuba watched as his brother walked out the door and down the hall.

After a split second decision the younger Kaiba started after his brother, but was stopped when he felt a hand grip his shoulder. He turned around to yell at whoever it was that had stopped him, but his words caught in his throat when he saw a pair of concerned chocolate eyes looking at him.

"Leave him be." Bakura said as he let his hand slide from the boy's shoulder.

"But what if they come in with news about Yami?!" Mokuba yelled as he clenched his fists. "Seto should be here!"

"He won't be gone long." Bakura gave a knowing smile.

Mokuba stared at the former Tomb Robber with large grey eyes. It was no use arguing with him. Without another word he walked over and sat at the edge of the couch followed by Yugi.

Bakura crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He looked down at the ground in thought. 'Nothing has changed in 3,000 years. Even though Kaiba is different from the Priest he still has the same way of dealing with his emotions.'

Out of the corner of his eye Bakura saw Jou walking toward Yugi. He was about to say something, but left it be. It was Yugi's choice whether or not to speak to the baka. He bit his tongue and waited to see what this confrontation was going to lead to.

"Yuge…" Jou started as he looked down at his friend.

"Not now, Jou." Yugi whispered not wanting to speak to the person who inflicted such pain.

Jou bit his lip as he looked at Yugi. He didn't know what to say or even if he could apologize enough to fix what he had done. Even though he didn't mean for Yami to be shot, it happened. By his hand he had taken down the man he had come to love.

Then a thought occurred to him that made his stomach turn.

He was no better than his father.

Yugi looked up and saw Jou was fighting an internal battle, but he couldn't offer any help to his friend. If they still were that. They had been through so much together through the years, but the jealousy in Jou's heart clouded his judgment and now the Pharaoh was paying for Jou's decision.

Tears started to form in amethyst eyes as he stared at his friend. They were not for Jou, but for the Pharaoh, Seto and the unborn baby. Everything seemed to blur in the youths mind. Anger, hurt, but the worst emotion he was feeling was hatred. A deep hatred burned in his soul for the blonde teen standing before him. He tried to keep himself calm, but the emotions became too great for the youth to handle.

Then without any warning Yugi jumped up.

"How could you?!" Yugi yelled at a startled Jou.

Bakura's head shot up as he looked at the Pharaoh's hikari. Never in a millennia did he think Yugi would lash out at his friend. His chocolate eyes went wide as he saw the hikari looking so much like the Pharaoh did when he was pushed to his limits. He saw the hatred burn in the narrow amethyst eyes that were staring daggers into the blonde.

He couldn't blame the hikari for his actions though, that was his yami in the other room. Without his darkness the light would eventually dim until there was nothing left.

He knew that all to well. His hikari, his Ryou had almost completely faded with what he had done to him. He had treated his hikari like something less than human. To him at the time Ryou was only a vessel, but the Pharaoh had made him see that his hikari was much more than that.

He remembered the Pharaoh's words. "Without him you are nothing, but a spirit left to sit in darkness and despair for another three millennia."

After that he recited that phrase over and over again in his mind and in a few days time he came to a conclusion. He decided at that moment he would treat Ryou like a hikari should be treated. It took a while, but he finally gained Ryou's trust and earned Yami's as well.

A small smile graced his pale lips, but that did not last as he remembered the situation. He heard a small voice and looked over to see Jou and the tears streaming down his face.

"Y..Yuge…I…I…" Jou stuttered.

"Shut up!! Just shut up!! I trusted you the most!! Out of everyone I had met through the years!! I trusted you!!" Yugi yelled as he clenched his fists to his sides.

"I'm sorry." Jou mumbled not knowing what else to do.

"Sorry!! You're sorry!! Is that all you can say?! Yami, my other is possibly dying and all you can say is I'm sorry!!" Yugi shouted louder.

Mokuba stood up and placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder only to have it shrugged off. He had never seen the teen this mad and to say it frightened him was an understatement.

"How could you! How could you hurt him! He never did anything to you!" Yugi screamed as he clenched his eyes shut.

"Yuge…" Jou started only to be cut off.

"You took a piece of my life when you did that! He is the other piece of my soul! You care nothing for him or me!" Yugi shouted.

"I…didn't think…"

"That's right!! You never think!!" Yugi yelled as his voice started to leave him.

"Just get out!! Get out of my sight!!" Yugi yelled amethyst eyes snapping open.

Jou looked at him not moving until something from behind grabbed his jacket and turned him around.

"I think you should take your leave, NOW!" Bakura hissed as he shoved the blonde toward the door.

Jou looked at the three in the room and slowly turned and walked out the door. He stopped and looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped for now.

"You are a fuckin' idiot." He whispered to himself as he walked into another waiting room.

He didn't want to leave. He wanted to see what was going to happen to Yami. He had to know that he didn't kill him. So he did the only thing he could do. He sat down in one of the plush arm chairs and began to pray for Yami and for him as well.

Mokuba sat down and looked at Yugi who had his head in his hands crying softly. It worried the younger Kaiba to hear the words Yugi said about Yami. Did he know more about Yami's situation than he was letting on?

No, that wasn't possible he had told Seto that their mind link was gone. He was just worried since it had been a long time and no one was coming out with any news of Yami's condition.

He looked up at the other yami in the room and saw that he was staring at them with sad chocolate eyes. He was about to speak, but Bakura beat him to it.

"I am going to check on the Priest." Bakura whispered as he walked out of the room leaving Yugi and Mokuba alone.

"What am I going to do?" Yugi whispered still with his head buried into his hands.

"What do you mean?" Mokuba asked as he placed a hand on Yugi's back.

Yugi raised his head and looked at Mokuba with tear filled, blood shot eyes. "If anything happens to Yami, what am I supposed to do?"

Mokuba answered the only way he could. "Nothing is going to happen to him. He will pull through this.

"But what if he doesn't? He is like a brother to me. No he is my brother." More tears began to pour out of the youth's eyes as he placed his head back on his hands.

Mokuba had nothing to say. He knew he would be going through the same thing if anything happened to Seto. He couldn't imagine going on without his brother by his side.

He looked out the window and saw the rain started to pour from the heavens. He remembered what he was told when he was younger. He asked Seto where rain came from and his brother told him the angels were crying. He knew better now, but for some reason he wondered if they were rejoicing or mourning.

Outside Seto was looking up at what little stars were in the sky due to all the rain clouds. He watched as many people walked in the hospital carrying flowers and stuffed animals for their loved ones they were visiting and wondered if he would be able to do that for his love.

He shook the thought from his mind as he wiped a single stray tear from his eye. After all that they had been through in the past how could his love be taken down by a single bullet from that baka?

Seto punched the pillar holding up the over hang as the thought entered his mind. He left his fist there as if to support his weight as he closed his eyes. He pictured Yami lying beside him after one of their love making sessions.

Yami always rolled over laid a hand on his chest and gave him the biggest smile he could. He was truly amazing. They could duel with such ferocity, but could make love so gently.

Seto smiled as he thought of how sometimes depending on their moods the love making might not be so gentle. It depended on if Yami was in a submissive mood.

He couldn't fathom never touching his loves soft, smooth skin or kissing every inch of his body. Running his hands through those tri-colored spikes

and shaking his head in disbelief that it never lost it shape.

He sighed as he took one last look up at the night sky and started walking back into the hospital. He was almost to the information desk, but stopped when he saw the familiar figure walking toward him.

He felt his heart drop at the thought of what news was about to be revealed to him. A part of him wanted to turn and run out of the hospital for fear that his love did not make it and that is why Bakura was coming to find him. But he fought that urge and stood in place as he watched the white haired thief walk up to him.

Once Bakura stopped, Seto looked into deep chocolate eyes trying to read any expression, but not to his surprise, he couldn't see any emotion on the thief's face. He crossed his arms and tried to be as calm as possible, praying that his voice would not betray him.

"Any word on Yami's condition yet?" Seto asked giving a mental sigh that his voice did not leave him.

Bakura shook his head. "No."

Seto said nothing as he took off walking toward the elevator. Bakura followed and stopped behind Seto looking at him. He actually felt bad for the CEO. He knew it would not be easy on any of them if he Pharaoh lost this battle he was in, but Kaiba would be the one destroyed by his death.

Once they reached the desired floor Bakura couldn't stand the silence any longer. "Priest, you know the Pharaoh will fight to stay alive. It is not his nature to give up."

Seto stopped and turned to look at the yami. He narrowed his eyes as he regarded the Thief. "Hn…what do you know?"

"I know the Pharaoh and unlike you I remember clearly what he was like three millennia ago."

Seto's eyes went wide at what Bakura had just said. He had no comeback for what was just said to him. He didn't remember his past life with Pharaoh Atemu. Only the pieces he saw in Yami's memory and that was mainly just of his fight with Zork.

Bakura saw the look of confusion on the CEO's face and decided to elaborate. "He was never one to give up so easily. He would fight till his last breath for the ones he cared for. He not only sacrificed his soul for the people of the village, but for you as well my Priest."

Seto's demeanor changed as he looked at Bakura with sad sapphire eyes. "This is not the same. He had a choice then. He has no choice now."

"Maybe not, but don't give up on him." Bakura smiled as he placed a hand on he CEO's shoulder.

In Yami's room Dr. Ohta had to begin the surgical procedure before he was fully stabilized due to internal bleeding. He knew they had to open up his chest to remove the bullet and locate the bleeding.

After about forty –five minutes of cutting and draining the blood he sees the bullet and the leak it caused in the Aorta.

Dr. Ohta breathed as he cautiously with steady hands clamped the bullet with forceps. Unfortunately, he over looked a small bone fragment that punctured the Aorta as he extracted the bullet causing a tear.

As the blood gushed forth filling Yami's chest cavity his blood pressure dropped drastically causing all the monitor alarms to sound. While Dr. Ohta attempted to locate the source of the bleeding Yami's heart stopped beating.

Dr. Hikaru noticing the heart monitor flat line began to fear for the safety of not only Yami, but the unborn child. She had only lost five patients in her twenty five years of practice from complications of giving birth, but never thought she would be in a situation like this.

Dr. Ohta began to suture the Aorta to get the bleeding to stop before they attempted to get his heart pumping again. He knew he had only minutes before the lack of oxygen would cause damage to the body.

The lives of Yami and the baby rested in Dr. Ohta's hands.
