Kearitona Sjachraelgil - Ne, I couldn't reach you through messaging so I'll just have to write to you here. In reply to your review for the chapter Man of the House. Yes it does seem strange for the robber to pursue Yugi and then for him to go as far as to break into their home. Well it wasn't explained in the chapter, but here's what I intended. The man was following Yugi because he was basically trying to mug him, but he was being discreet about it. And then when he saw Yugi heading towards a house, he tried to catch him at the last minute, which is what Yugi meant we he said he heard the sound of running and haggard breathing. Then Yugi goes into his house. Well the man trying to mug him obviously doesn't know that Yugi does not live by himself. His intentions for breaking into the house was to get to Yugi. And from here I guess you could say the man would be taking more from Yugi than just his money. As in, possibly raping him. So that is why the man tried so hard. I should have explained this in the chapter, but I wasn't really thinking about it. Plus, if you think about it, anime's are always way more dramatic than they should be. Hope that kind of cleared things up for you!

Yugi propped himself up in bed with one elbow, making sure not to hit either Yami or Atem who were both still asleep. He rubbed at his eye and inhaled deeply, frowning when the smell of something burnt wafted into his nose.

He wanted to go back to sleep since it was still late into the night, but something told him to get up. His mind practically screamed at him to get out of bed and check around the house. Not one to take his senses for granted, Yugi slowly crept out of bed and smiled when Yami and Atem both groped the mattress, trying to find where his body heat had gone. Wishing he had a camera, Yugi slipped out of the room in only his boxers and a pair of ankle socks.

Anything bright was blurry to his still adjusting eyes, as he made maneuvered his way around the rooms of the house.

"What the hell is that smell?" he muttered to himself.

It was then that he became very aware of all the smoke that was filling the room. Yugi's eyes widened, hoping his assumption was wrong. He ran towards the kitchen and screamed when he saw the whole place ablaze. The fire was wild and had already started to quickly spread across the walls of other rooms.

The fire extinguisher was kept under the kitchen sink, so there was no way he could reach it. The only thing he could think of was to get him and his boyfriends out of the house and to call the fire department.

He reached for the phone that was close to him, yet failed to see the burning object soaring towards him. The kitchen was now having small explosions and was shooting pans and other materials out randomly. Yugi's hand burned bright red as a burning hot object glided over it. He screamed in agony and fell to his knees. Tears came to his eyes, but he ignored them as he grabbed the phone with his good hand and sluggishly stood.

The heat from the fire was scorching his naked skin.

"ATEM! YAMI!" he screamed as loudly as he could while running through the halls. "WAKE UP! GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!"

Yugi cried out when he ran smack into Atem's chest, making him sprawl out backwards. He hissed as his burnt hand caught him.

"Holy shit!" Yugi heard Yami curse.

Atem helped Yugi back onto his feet and suddenly jumped.

"The floor is burning hot!" he yelled.

Just then more flames leaked into the room. A wall caved in right in the middle of the hallway. Right where the front door was.

"Quick," Yami shouted, "Back to our room. We can open a window!"

All three of them began to cough as the smoke became especially thick. They covered their mouths and noses with their hands and made their way back to their bedroom. While they were doing this, Yugi hurriedly called the emergency number and waited for someone to pick up.

Once someone did, Yugi quickly told them his name, the situation, and where they lived. He did not give the person time to talk. He knew that the people could question them for a long time, but the fire wasn't going to wait for the conversation to end.

"Ra, how did that fire even happen!" Atem mumbled as he gripped the long metal pole, which used to belong to their lamp, and started hacking at the window with it.

Yugi cringed as the window broke, and glass scattered everywhere.

"As soon as we get outside, run as far away from the house as you can, got it?" Atem commanded.

Both Yugi and Yami nodded.

There was the sound of a creak, in which all three of them looked up at the ceiling. Right before their eyes, the ceiling came down.

Yugi felt something sharp pierce across his entire face and his eye. His leg felt detached from the rest of his body as a giant weight crashed onto it. And to make everything worse, the smoke was choking Yugi.

He tried to move, but every time he did, white hot pain flashed down his entire body. He could hear the sounds of rubble being spread around and wondered what it was.

"I think he's waking up…" a familiar voice full of hope said.

"Don't get too excited mutt," a more cold voice warned.

Yugi tried opening his eyes, which felt as heavy as lead, and groaned when the action caused his face to sting unpleasantly.

"Take it slow, buddy…" the first voice, which Yugi recognized as Joey, said.

Yugi did as advised and slowly opened his eyes. A white ceiling was the first thing that came into sight from his right eye. He then waited for the rest of the image to appear from his left eye, but frowned when everything remained black.

"J-Joey…" he whispered in a small voice. "W-why… can't I see…" he tried to sit up in a panic, but hissed when his hand came in contact with the mattress.

He looked down and saw a white bandage wrapped around his hand like a glove. He then looked down to his legs and frowned even more when he saw a black cast covering his entire left calve and foot, only leaving his toes to hang out.

"Shh… buddy," Joey tried to soothe. "You were in an accident remember?"

Yugi turned his attention to his blonde friend and Seto who were both looking at him in sympathy.

Yugi, lost and confused, began to cry silently out of his good eye. "I want Temmy n' Ami'…" he blubbered like a small child.

Joey frowned and ran his hand through Yugi's hair, trying to comfort him.

"I know, bud," he said softly. "They can't see you right now though…"

"Why?"

Joey bit his lip and looked up at Seto who still stood with his arms crossed. He glared at Joey's cowardice and sat down on the edge of Yugi's bed, careful not to hit his leg.

"Well," Seto began. "They were also hurt in the accident. But they're doing pretty well. They don't have any serious injuries." he added quickly.

Yugi threw the small blanket off of him. "I need to go see them."

"Hang on Yug, you can't go anywhere," Joey said as he gently pushed Yugi's shoulders back onto the mattress.

"Then bring me to them," Yugi persisted.

Joey and Seto shared a look.

After talking to many nurses, it was finally agreed that Yugi, Yami, and Atem could share a room. Yugi waited anxiously as he was wheeled into a large room. A huge smile spread across his face when he saw his two other lovers inside.

"Yugi!" they said in relief.

Yugi looked them both over and was glad that they didn't look too bad. Yami had a bandage across his forehead, some bandages around his chest, a cast around his left arm, and a few scrapes on his arms. Atem had a breathing tube in his nose, a ton of small scratches on his chest, his shoulder was heavily bandaged, and his right knee was bandaged as well. Their wounds were just as bad as Yugi's despite the fact that Yugi had lost his sight in his left eye due to the object that sliced across his face. The scar went from his left temple, down his eye, all the way to the small space under his nose. The doctor had told him that the scar would fade some, but would not go away completely.

"Aishiteru…" Yugi cried as he wrapped his arms around both his lovers. "Aishiteru!"

Both Yami and Atem smiled as they buried their faces into the side of Yugi's neck.

"Aishiteru, Aibou!"

A/N - got inspired to write this from watching Harry Potter. And if anyone's wondering… the fire started from the stove. Someone didn't turn it off and a rag was laying to close to the burner and it caught fire. So yeah. And fire's spread quickly so if only they had gotten out of the house quicker than they would have made it. But hey, I didn't kill any of them!

Aishiteru - I love you
