Chapter 12 – Jealous Lover

Yugi turned towards the balcony where the sound originated from. He got up cautiously and walked towards the window.

"Yami? Is that you?"

There was no response. Yugi was a foot away from the door when a young female stepped into Yugi's path.

"You must be Yugi Motou. I understand that the vampire king Atemu has taken an interest in you." She said walking towards Yugi and he backed away quickly.

"Who are you? Are you a vampire?"
"Yes, a vampire. My name's Miho Nosaka." As she got Yugi up against the back wall, eyes narrowing at him. "You stole my love from me." Slashing him across his chest, with her nails.

"Argh, I don't understand. You're in love with Yami?" Hand clutched his chest.

"Yes. You stole Atemu from me! Now you will pay. Tell Atemu that Miho Nosaka says hi." Before shoving her hand into Yugi's stomach and then ripping it out and watched Yugi fall to the floor.

"Goodbye Yugi Motou." Miho turned and left the room.

Yugi started crawling towards the door.

\Ya…Ya…mi\ was all Yugi could get out before fall into unconsciousness.

Yami had suddenly become interested in the meeting when one of the members of the meeting mentioned that some vampire was planning on going after the King's lover. Yami was outraged at what he was hearing.

"Why didn't I hear this at the start of the meeting this morning?" He yelled angrily.

"I'm sorry, sir. It slipped my mind."

"WHO plans on murdering Yugi?"

"Someone named 'Miho Nosaka'." Yami's eyes widened at the name. "What is it sir? You know her?"

"OF COURSE I KNOW HER! She's in LOVE with me and was angered when I wasn't in love with her. I have to go! Seth, Bakura, Malik let's go."

"Yes"

\Ya…\ Yami's eyes widened at hearing Yugi's voice enter his head. \Ya…mi\

/Yugi are you alright?/ there was no response. /Yugi?/

"Atemu?"

"We leave now. To Yugi's kitchen."

They all teleported to Yugi's kitchen. They found no one there.

"Yugi?" Yami called there was a faint call from upstairs.

Yami, Bakura, Malik and Seth raced up the stairs. Yami stopped at the door seeing blood on the floor that was seeping through under the door. Yami opened the door but found that it wouldn't open far. Yami then teleported in along with Seth. Malik and Bakura had to wait and then see in through the door and then could teleport in.

Yami turned to the door to find Yugi on the floor in a pool of his own blood. Yami raced over and kneeled next to him. He turned Yugi over and pulled him into his lap. He saw the scratch marks across his chest and Yugi's hand over his stomach. Yami moved Yugi's hand and found a hold in his stomach, with blood gushing out. He put Yugi's hand and his own back on it and pressed down hard.

"Arr get off me." Yugi's eyes snapped open, he couldn't make out who was holding him, and his eyes were blurry. He struggled to get free but couldn't, tears forming in his eyes from pain.

"Yugi, calm down it's me." As soon as he said that Yugi stopped struggling.

"Ya…Yami. You came. It was Miho Nosaka." He laid there on Yami's lap, tears now flowing freely.

"Of course I came."

"Atemu we have to get him to a hospital." Seth said

"I'm sorry Yami."

"What for?"

"For being such a burden to you. I love you." Yugi's hand brushed Yami's face before falling and his eyes closed.

"YUGI!!!"

"Atemu, he can still be saved." Bakura said.

Yami stood up with Yugi in his arms. Because none of them had been to the hospital they had to put their hand on his shoulder. They were all teleported to the hospital, where Yami ran in.

"Help! He needs help!" as a lady came out of a room.

"I need a medical team here stat." she called back into the room. "What happened?"

"He was attacked." He said as 4 people came out of a room with a trolley.
Yami put him on there.

"We need to operate now." The lead doctor said as they pushed it towards the ER. "Are you family?" she said to Yami as he, Bakura, Malik and Seth followed, Yami not letting go of Yugi's hand.

"No, he's my boyfriend."

"Ok. Does he have any family near by?"

"Yes, his grandfather."

"Mother, father?"

"Mother's dead. Father, he doesn't speak to."

"Ok could you call his grandfather?"

"Sure." As the nurses pushed open a door and pulled the table through.

"I'm sorry, you can't come any further."

A nurse said stopping Yami. "You can wait in the waiting room."

"But…"

"Come Atemu, let's go sit down. Yugi's in their hands now." Seth said putting his hand on Yami's shoulder.

Yami gave in and followed his friends and went to the waiting room.

"I'd better go get his grandfather." He said after while and got up.

"Yami you need to stay here and pray for Yugi to pull through. I'll go get his grandfather." Bakura said stopping him. "Plus I think we all should go get our lovers. She might go after them next."

"Yeah,"

"Yami you stay here." Bakura told him

"Ok be careful all of you."

They all walked out of the waiting room leaving Yami there alone. A nurse was sitting behind the counter watching him. Yami started having tears fall from his eyes. She stood up and walked around the counter with a box of tissues in hand.

"Here." She said extending her hand with the box of tissues .

Yami looked up at her and took a tissue for the box, murmured a thankyou and whipped his eyes. "You know, we have great doctors now. They'll do their best to save him."

She was about to say something else when a loud ringing and blue light about the door turned on. The lady jumped up and put on a mouth and nose mask and dashed through the doors. Yami had jumped up at the same time but was now left standing alone. He saw a couple of nurses heading his way.

"What's going on?" he cried at them before they passed, one stopped and turned to him.

"He's crashing. Wait here, I'll tell you how it goes." Before turning and racing through the door.

Yami sank into his chair. 'Yugi please. Don't die. Please don't give up. You're strong, you can pull through.' His tears fell more freely now.

The ringing and blue light turned off. The three nurses that went in just before came out. They walked straight passed him. Then the doctor came out and approach Yami hadn't seen him.

"Excuse me. Are you his family member?"

Yami looked up. "No he's my boyfriend. How is he?"

"We almost lost him, but he's stable for now. He kept calling out a name during the whole operation even though he was out cold."

"What was the name?"

"Yami, why?"

"That's my name. Please can I see him?"

"Sure, he's been moved to the ICU. I'll show you to his room."

"Thankyou."

Yami followed after him. Arriving at the room the doctor stood aside to allow Yami to go through first. Yami opened the door and walked in with the doctor following. He saw Yugi lying there bandage wrapped around his chest and abdomen. Blood covered the bandage around his abdomen. He was on a heart monitor and tubes stuck in his nose to help him breath, he was on a drip and blood being put hand into him. Yami was at his side in an instant holding his hand. Now tears falling down his face.

"That's the fourth unit of blood since he's been here. We are estimating he will need 6-8 units of blood. At least to get his blood level back up."

"Thankyou for saving him."

"You don't need to. He's a fighter, we are all surprised he was still alive when you got him here. Anyway I'll leave you two alone."

"Um… his grandfather should be here soon and a group of his friends. They can come through."

"Ok" the doctor left.

Yami pulled up a chair and sat there holding Yugi's hand firmly. "Yugi, please wake up."

He felt Yugi's hand move and then saw him throwing his hands around. Yami realised he was having a nightmare. He remembered something Bakura told him a little while ago.

Flashback

Yami was sitting at the table, when he heard moaning and yelling as if someone was in pain. He jumped up and went to the room. He saw two albino haired males; one asleep and yelling, the other trying to wake him. The one trying to wake the other lifted his head up and slid onto the bed and stroked his hair. The sleeping albino slowly calmed down and slept soundly.

"You know Yami. If your love is having a nightmare and you can't wake them. The best thing to do is have them with you, in your arms or on your lap, anything. It helps to calm them. Remember that." The albino said as Yami was about to leave but didn't look up at him.

End of Flashback

Yami stood up and lifted Yugi's head and upper chest up and slid onto the bed. He laid Yugi's head down onto his lap and held his shoulders still to stop most of Yugi's thrashing.

"Yugi, please wake up." Yugi's thrashing stopped.

Yami slid his hands under Yugi's arms and pulled him up. He had Yugi in his lap. Yugi's head resting on his shoulder. Yami laid his head next to Yugi's.

"Please come back to me." Yami whispered closing his eyes.

Yugi opened his eyes, everything was a blur. He noticed someone was holding him, but couldn't make out who it was.

"Let go of me creep!" Yugi said trying to push away from Yami, but had no strength.

"Yugi it's me Yami." Holding Yugi to him.

Yugi stopped struggling and resided to grabbing his abdomen and looked at the one who was holding him.

"Yami?"

"Yes, it's me Yugi." Yugi started crying.

"Oh, Yami." Yugi grabbed hold of his shirt and put his face to his chest. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm just a painful burden for you . I'm…" Yami put his hand to Yugi's mouth.

"You say 'sorry' one more time for being a-so-called 'painful burden' I will lock you in the dungeon for a couple of weeks. You're not a burden Yugi. I was so worried about you. I'm glad you're safe." Yami held him tightly.

"I'm sorry for worrying you. I didn't mean to. It was Miho Nosaka, she says 'hi'."

"I don't want to hear it. Look, I want you to rest. You lost a lot of blood." Yami said started to lift Yugi up so he could get up.

"Yami, please stay here." Grabbing his arm.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to sit on the chair."

"No, I meant with me. I feel safer if I'm in your arms. Please." Yugi's voice distraught.

"Ok Yugi."
