Chapter 12

It had taken a while but the Pharaoh was beginning to return them. It seemed that although going to the court had really badly affected him and the days that followed had involved keeping the Pharaoh's mind off it. But it had done a little bit of good as the Pharaoh opened up more. He had told Yugi things he remembered before the court case, but a few days after he'd sat down with Yugi and Grandpa. He'd told them everything, all that had happened. Both Yugi and Grandpa listened, they didn't interrupt him just let him say what he wanted to say. After they had done a sort of group hug as tears were threatening to roll down the Pharaoh's face. This had done some good as having got everything off his chest it allowed the Pharaoh to become more of himself. The court had not asked the Pharaoh to come back. Having a witness run from the room in tears had showed them there was little point bringing him back as the same thing might happen again. This the Pharaoh was eternally thankful for. The last thing he wanted to do was the see him again.

Yugi's friends were becoming restless as well. They wanted to see the Pharaoh and help him but Yugi was keeping them away for the moment as the Pharaoh was still fragile. Getting his friends on the scene might not help the Pharaoh as he was weary of other people. He didn't go into the shop during its opening hours, choosing to stay in the living room out of the way. Yugi wanted his friends to help but if the Pharaoh wasn't ready then that was it.


"Yugi! Come on, let us come to yours tonight and talk to him. It will help!"

"I'm sorry Tristan, I know you guys want to help and I appreciate it but the Pharaoh it not ready yet."

"But why Yugi!"

"He's still fragile. He gets uneasy when someone comes to the door. He doesn't go into the shop because he's anxious about the people." Yugi sighed, "We just have to wait until he's ready."

"But when will that be Yugi." Tea asked.

"Soon I hope, he's slowly getting there."


The Pharaoh was nestled comfortably in the living room sofa. His injured hand had been removed from the cast a couple of days ago. He now had a support bandage round it, it prevented movement but gave his fingers more movement although moving the fingers were painful. The hardest part was beginning as he had to start to strengthen the muscles again which was painful. He should actually being exercising it now but he didn't really fancy the pain right now. So he flicked through the channels looking for something to watch. Settling for a random reality show he nestled further into the sofa to watch. A few minutes later the door bell rang and the Pharaoh froze. Slowly, he got up and stared at the door. Should be open it? No. No he couldn't, what if someone was waiting there for him? Slowly, he moved to the game shop and glanced round the door. Having confirmed that no one was in there he walked to Grandpa.

"What's wrong Pharaoh?"

"T..There's someone at the door."

"OK, that's fine. Don't panic." Grandpa reassured, seeing the Pharaoh was on edge.

Grandpa led the way back to the door. The Pharaoh hurried to the stairs which was out of sight of the door. Grandpa opened the door and Yugi stepped inside.

"Sorry, I forgot to take my keys this morning."

Grandpa shut the door behind Yugi and moved back to the shop.

"Where's the Pharaoh?" Yugi asked.

Grandpa just pointed to the stairs. Moving over to it Yugi looked up to see the Pharaoh sitting half way up them. He sighed, the Pharaoh was still uneasy of people coming to the door.

"Why am I so afraid of the door, Yugi?" The Pharaoh said, running a hand through his hair.

"You're just a afraid that someone will come for you. Which by the way they won't."

"This is ridiculous.. I don't want to be this way anymore."

"It'll get better Pharaoh." Yugi said.

The Pharaoh sighed and returned to the sofa. He nestled back into the sofa, Yugi pulled out his homework and began working through it. As he worked through his work his mind turned back to the Pharaoh. He was getting better but this uneasiness of the door and other people he will need to work through. Yugi had to admit that was had not been sure if the Pharaoh would have made it this far. But once again the Pharaoh had showed he had the strength. Without knowing it while he'd been thinking Yugi had been staring at the Pharaoh. Feeling the eyes upon him, the Pharaoh turned round.

"Are you ok Yugi?"

Yugi jumped slightly, "Yeah, sorry. Have you done those exercises today?"

The Pharaoh sighed, "Not yet. I'm not in the mood for how painful it will be."

"Come on, if you want your hand to get better then you need to."

The Pharaoh signed and slowly began to remove the bandage. He proceeded to start the simple exercises for his wrist. Yugi looked down again, continuing to work through his homework. He frowned as he came across a question that he couldn't answer. After mentally cursing the god of Maths for cursing him with these questions, he finally worked it out. But as he worked it out the answer he had a small cry of pain. Looking up he saw the Pharaoh curled on the sofa with his injured hand close to him.

"Pharaoh!" Yugi moved swiftly over to him, "What's wrong?"

"I.. moved it to far back."

Yugi grabbed the bandage behind him and carefully wrapped it round the other's hand again.

"Hang on a second." Yugi said.

He got up and hurried to the kitchen, grabbed some painkillers and a glass of water. Returning to the Pharaoh he aided him in taking them. Once done, the Pharaoh drew his injured arm close to him. Yugi smiled sympathetically at him before moving back to his work. When Grandpa came through, Yugi explained what had happened quietly. Grandpa ruffled the Pharaoh's hair gently before moving into the kitchen to make dinner.


The first few days had been hell for the Pharaoh, building up the strengthen in the muscles was really painful. But it was starting to get a little easier, after just over week later, which was a relief for everyone. Although it was still really painful the Pharaoh was beginning to be able to handle objects in his hand which was making life a bit easier. Moving into the living room, the Pharaoh was holding a mug of hot chocolate. Yugi was sat on the sofa, watching the news. He glanced at the Pharaoh coming into the room. There was a slight frown on the Pharaoh's face. But the Pharaoh seemed alright.

"Yugi!"

Apparently, he wasn't.

"Yugi! Take this, I-I can't hold it."

Yugi swiftly moved over to the Pharaoh, taking the mug from his hand. The Pharaoh sat on the sofa, rubbing his bandaged hand.

"I'm sorry, it was getting painful and I was convinced I was going to drop it." The Pharaoh said, accepting the mug from Yugi in his good hand.

"It's ok, you did good! Your hand is defiantly getting stronger."

The Pharaoh shared a small smile, taking a slip of his drink. The pain in his wrist was receding gradually. Both boys gazed at the TV where a 'Breaking News' story had just come on.

"The infamous Domino's Most Wanted has finally been sentenced." The reporter was saying, "After weeks of court hearing, he has been sentenced to at least ten years in prison. The charges against him include robbery, kidnap and wounding with intent."

Yugi looked to the Pharaoh, who had gone slightly pale. He smiled.

"It's over Pharaoh, he's locked away."

The other looked at him, "It's is..."

The Pharaoh seemed not to really believe him.

"It is Pharaoh, it's over."

The Pharaoh looked at him before sighing and nodding. It was over. It was all over. Though he still had to heal physically and mentally but it was over. It was going to get better from here. It was over. All over .


A shadowy figure peered round the corner of the building. He could see the police officers leading the cuffed Aiden Clark, Domino's Most Wanted, into the building. The figure smirked, this guy was good. He'd held the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh. This guy was good but not good enough, as he'd been caught. Bakura's smirked deepened but maybe together they could be unstoppable.
