Chapter Ten
Yami was frantically trying to get Yugi to wake up. He checked the wrist Yugi had slashed with his knife only a few moments before hand and was relieved to find that no veins had been cut, but a lot of blood was lost. "Yugi can you hear me? Wake up Yugi! Open your eyes!" Hearing Yami voice from up the stairs Tea ran up to find him "Yami is everything ok up…he" She stopped in her tracks to find Yami kneeling on the floor with Yugi's motionless body in his arms and a big puddle of blood on the carpet "Yami, Oh my god what happened?" Tea said as she went to walk in "Don't come in here Tea go downstairs and get Grandpa now!" "Yami he's not move, why isn't Yugi moving" Yami turned as he yelled, "There's no time for this get some help now!" At the sight of the blood Tea passed out on the floor. "Oh for crying out loud if I don't get help Yugi's going to be in serious trouble"
"Help!" Yami cried "Grandpa, get up here quick!" Grandpa came up to Yugi's room as quickly as he could to find Yami holding an unconscious Yugi in is arms and a semi conscious Tea outside the bedroom door "Grandpa you have to help him, he's not waking up, he need help" Yami says frantically, with tears streaming down his face. He told Grandpa everything about finding Yugi and what they had talked about before Yugi passed out. Grandpa checked Yugi's pulse quickly and lend in closes to place his ear near Yugi's partly opened mouth "Right, it's ok for now he's just unconscious, but I shall call an ambulance";" I'll do it Gramps!" says Joey and runs off to call 911 taking Tristan and Tea with him. "Oh my boy" Grandpa says, placing a hand on Yugi's head "What a mess you've put yourself in." A few minutes later the paramedic arrived and looked Yugi over "he has lost quite a lot of blood and will need to be taken in for a transfusion", " I'll go with him," says Yami and rushes of to the ambulance with Yugi on an ambulance stretcher.
Yugi opens his eye to be greeted by a fuzzy white image in front of his eyes, after blinking a few times his focus clears and he's surrounded by white walls, lying on a stiff bed with thin white sheets and a blanket covering him. He also had an I.V drip in his arm. The I.V was supplying blood into his system. Yugi turned to see how much blood was left in the bag and was about to call a nurse when he noticed his I.V drip was being supplied blood by another I.V line that was joined to someone in the bed next to him. He sat up slightly, still a bit light headed and looked over into the other bed. There, in the bed next to him, lay Yami reading a book, with his arm hooked up to an I.V line that was supplying a certain amount of his own blood to Yugi. "Yami, is that you?" Yugi said groggily.
Yami turned his crimson purple eyes to see Yugi sitting up looking at him. He was so relieved to see his young protégé was all right, that a small tear ran down his face. "Yugi thank goodness your awake. Are you alright?" he asked Yugi "I feel really groggy…and really light headed" Yami sighed with relief "It's all right you've just lost a lot of blood that's why you feel so light headed" Yami sat up on his hospital bed as Yugi asked "Where are we?" "We are at the hospital, you passed out after talking to me last night, I had to get Grandpa to help so I…I um", " You told him!" Yugi exclaimed with his eyes filled with fear
"Yugi what else could I do? Huh? You'd passed out…on me I might add…Then Tea came up the stairs started asking me a load of questions I couldn't answer and there was no way for me to tell whether you were dead or alive… and not to be a smart alec or anything but do you really think Grandpa wouldn't have noticed the slash on your wrist or the knife on the bedroom floor covered in blood?" Yami shouted back "If anything you should be thanking me for saving your sorry ass, Idiot!" Yami said frustrated. Yugi sprung forward in his bed as he shouted back "Thanking you! Your part of the reason I'm doing this to myself, I have no one left because of you, they all ditched me for you, all because you can do all the stuff I can't and don't do, your better then me in pretty much everyway, and where am I now? Where I wished…To You…That I'd never have to be again! So your right, thank you, thanks a bunch, you've made my day..." Yugi was about to go on when he felt a dizzy spell coming and layback on the bed with his eyes closed "Yugi? Yugi! Are you ok?" Yami asked, panic stricken that Yugi would pass out again "yeah, I'm fine…just dizzy" he replied looking back at the ceiling. Yami looked at Yugi with a sad smile on his face "Its just from the lack of blood, lets try not to get worked up again ok? We should be going home soon anyway. The nurse said no school though so I'm afraid you won't be seeing this girl of yours?" Yami said, raising an eyebrow at the last part.
Yugi sat up to protest, when the nurse came in "Oh, I see you've come to, how are you feeling?" she asked softly "I've been better but I think I'll live" Yugi smiled back "Well you gave both your Grandpa and you brother a big scare, Don't you ever do that again ok? Self harming is very serious, next time you end up here you may not be so lucky" the nurse lectured, "Wait, Brother?" Yugi turned to look at Yami, who sat waving back at him "Hi bro" he said, with a cheeky grin on his face "It's a good thing he was here other wise you would have been a goner by now" the nurse said, yet another praise for Yami, although this time it was justified. That's not to say that other form of praise he got wasn't deserved, but for Yugi it would just be nice to be complimented too.
The doctor's discharged Yugi from the hospital and they got a cab home to the Game Shop. His Grandpa took Yugi to his room and made sure he was comfortable, that's when Yugi could really protest about not going to school "Grandpa please let me go, I'm fine I mean I just walked all the way up the stairs for crying out loud" Grandpa turned a stern face to Yugi "Now you listen here boy, You stay put or you'll be back in the hospital before you can say the word school, understand! Your staying put even if I have to sit on you to make you stay put, got it!" he say, arms folded "Come on Grandpa, besides Yami's not staying home and he gave half of his blood to me!", "The only reason he's going to school is because although he gave you blood he didn't give you as much as you lost, so he's still able to function properly, you on the other hand are still not well enough to stand without wobbling on your feet! I'm not kidding Yugi, I'll sit on you if you try getting out of that bed" They both gave each other evil glares for a small period of time, each daring the other one to make the first move.
Yami was down stairs having a cup of sweet tea and reading the sports section of the paper. He started thinking of all the things that Yugi had brought up today during school, earlier that evening and at the hospital an hour ago. "I need to make more of an effort with Yugi, but how can I do that?" He finished his tea and made his way up to bed, when halfway up the stairs, he heard an almighty cry coming from Yugi's room "Arrrrrgggh!!!! Grandpa you great lump!! Get off me!! Doubling back slightly on the stairs, Yami went to find out what was going on. He got to Yugi's room and sighed as a sweat drop formed at the side of his head thinking, "What the hell is wrong with those two?"
Shaking his head at the scene of Grandpa Motto sitting on Yugi's back, and Yugi trying his damnedest to get out of bed. "Let me up Gramps, I'm going whether you like it or not!" At this Grandpa Motto bounced up and down once, bringing the full weight of his body down on Yugi "Arrrrrggggghhhh!!!" "You try it and I'll keep bouncing then you'll just be a young cripple who can't pull any girls won't you? So stay put!" Grandpa emphasized his point by bouncing on Yugi's back again "Arrrrrgggghhh! Alright! Fine! You win!" Grandpa still sat on his grandson with a smug smile on his face, while Yami just stood shaking his head in the doorway with an expression on his face that could only be read as "Oh dear Ra! Sorry Yugi your on your own" as he disappeared into his own room to go to bed.
It was morning time and Yami had slept through his alarm by only a few minutes, still he was frantically running around trying to get ready for school. "Hey Yami!" Yugi called from his room "Yami can you do me a favour?" Yami came into Yugi's room which was conveniently across the landing from his own room "Sure, but make it quick I'm going to be late for school" Yami ran in looking flustered, Yugi raised an eyebrow in disbelief "What? Yami, the king of great attendance? Late? Say it ain't so!" he says amazed "Yugi, what do you want?" Yami said hurriedly "Give this to Ally if you see her today please? Yugi said as he handed a small letter to Yami "We were meant to walk together this morning but I'm afraid I'll get gramp stamped again", Yugi finished making the last bit as quiet as he could so his Grandpa wouldn't hear "Ya Damn Right you will!" Grandpa shouted back. Yami couldn't help but stifle a laugh; Yugi saw this and just said, "Wait until your turn comes! So can you do me this favour or not?" Yami looked at Yugi's face, he couldn't help but noticed the pleading look in Yugi's big amethyst eyes. It was just as bad as puss in boots from Shrek only in amethyst purple. "Fine, ok" Yami took the small letter and placed it in his pocket "Thanks Yami, I owe you one", "You owe me more then that! Don't worry though I'm thinking about my next huge favour right now" said Yami, sticking his tongue out at Yugi and running out the room to clear the flying pillow that was thrown at the door
