I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh;maybe I lost it or sold it on e-bay.

Chan: ok sorry for the long break in the updates, but writers block set in. I swear if I can make a medical cure for that I'll be a millionaire.

Yami: I need to infect her with writers block again! No more Yami torture!

Chan: aww you love it really! –Hug-

Yami:

Chan: anyway, I'll just get on with this update. I'll see if I can get it updated before I get the books I ordered get here. Enjoy! (Voice fades out)

Chapter 14
The Other Dream

Bakura's P.O.V.

I was frozen to the spot in shock. The floor around my feet was covered in water and shattered glass but I didn't seem to notice until a small sound came from the sofa.

"Bakura?"

"Yami!" I leapt over to the sofa and skidded to a stop so suddenly that I fell and nearly landed on Yami who was sitting up and looking around stiffly. His eyes fell on he shattered glass and the place where some of his blood was still on the floor.

"w-what happened?" his voice sounded oddly high pitched and sore. Gently, I pushed him down onto the sofa again.

"Lay still…" I half whispered. "You're bleeding quite badly. At least you were; it seems to have stopped now." Yami nodded slowly to show that he was listening.

"What about the broken glass?" His voice was painful to even listen too. I considered for a moment telling him the truth. But I didn't want to risk scaring him. I didn't think I could bare it if he looked anymore frightened then he already did.

"You spoke in your sleep and it startled me. I dropped my drink." I invented quickly before changing the topic. "Do you want to tell me what happened?"

Yami's P.O.V.

I did try and tell him, but I kept coughing and Bakura ended up having dash to the kitchen to get me a glass of water. I tried to take large gulps of air at the same time as drinking and started choking. I'd never felt so clumsy in my life. It took me a long time to stop choking even with Bakura whacking me on the back but eventually I calmed down.

I finally told Bakura about hearing the voice and following it into the kitchen. He listened closely as I explained about everything going black and how I couldn't reach the kitchen table. Then I told him about my dream. It took longer than usual, and by the time I had finished I realised it was getting dark outside. Grandpa had probably gone back to the hospital by now. I didn't feel like going back, but I didn't want to be alone either.

"Bakura…can you stay with me?"

Bakura's P.O.V.

It was wonderful to spend the entire evening alone with Yami. We didn't do anything special, just sat on the sofa and watched TV mostly. Well, Yami was watching TV. I was watching him. He let me stay for dinner too even though there wasn't much in the fridge.

"I hope Grandpa got all the shopping today." He sighed as we sat down to eat.

"He's probably too worried about Yugi to be thinking about doing anything as normal as shopping." I hoped Yami would understand I was only joking. "Why don't you go shopping?" Yami blushed at my question.

"I'm no good at shopping." He mumbled.

"What?" I spluttered with laughter. "How can anyone be 'no good' at shopping?" I thought I was supposed to laugh but then he sighed and I realised he had really meant it.

"I always forget what I'm going for." He explained. "And I can't get the hang of modern money either." I understood. I found it tricky using modern money at first to, but I find it quite easy now. I could sense it would be tactless to say this, so I offered to go with him to the shops with him.

"Thanks Bakura." He smiled at me. "That'd be nice." I felt like my heart could sing. Ok, ok, so going shopping isn't exactly a hot date. Alright it's not even a date. But still, Yami had agreed to come with me, and well maybe that meant he'd like to come somewhere else with me. Somewhere more private.

I left soon after dinner, because it was getting late. I nearly walked into Yami's Grandpa in the shop. He was only just coming back from the hospital.

"Hello Bakura, how long have you been here?" I mumbled something about just dropping off Yami's bag and then hurried out into the street, checking my watch. It was already half past nine. I wondered vaguely if Ryou would be getting worried yet.

Ryou barely raised an eyebrow when I slouched into the house as the clock was striking ten. I've stayed out much later before. Ryou and I have a deal. As long as I am back by two the next morning, he won't get worried. After that time, he is allowed to start panicking and phoning people and searching for me. He seemed very distracted when I got in, but he insisted he was fine.

I couldn't stop thinking about Yami all night though. When I fell asleep I dreamed about him too. I dreamed that I was standing out side the game shop, I reached one hand out to open the door, and then I realised that it was no longer the came shop door, I was sitting inside a cupboard, and when the door opened Yami was smiling down at me. Not saying anything, just smiling and laughing. It was a very weird dream, but I was so happy, that I didn't care how weirder a dream it was, as long as Yami was in, and he was smiling at me.

Next day

My Yami dream dwelled on my mind all through breakfast. Ryou insisted on going to visit Yugi at the hospital. I'm starting to think there is something going on between those two, but I didn't dare mention it in case Ryou got in a mood with me. I may be bigger and stronger and older than him….but god he can be scary when he yells. Almost as scary as when Yugi gets hyper. Yugi…..poor Yugi….

He wasn't any better. In fact he was worse. When Ryou went up to the front desk and said we were visiting Yugi Moto, the lady behind the desk checked something on her computer and then frowned slightly.

"He's been moved to a different ward." She said in a sharp voice. "He's on the Lady Helena ward now." My stomach turned over. I know exactly what the Lady Helena ward is. It's where they put insane people. I shuddered as I remembered how just the other week, Joey had said something particularly mad and Tristan had said 'he'll be carted off to the Lady Helena soon if he's not careful.' I laughed. We all did. I felt so awful for ever joking about something that serious.

Yugi was in a room with five other people about his age. I guessed that this wasn't one of the really bad Lady Helena rooms. This wasn't for people who had totally lost their minds. The nurse who led us in explained that they were simply keeping Yugi here for closer observation. One of the boys in Yugi's room was talking in his sleep in a strange foreign language which sounded vaguely like Egyptian. I tried not to listen too closely.

Yugi wasn't asleep. He was sitting bolt upright, hugging his knees to his chest. His wide, frightened eyes darted all round the room like he was expecting a mad axe murderer to jump out from under one of the beds. Yami was sitting on one side of his bed, his grandpa on the other.

"Hi Bakura, hi Ryou." Yami forced a smile. He said my name first! When I said hi back, it didn't sound like normal voice at all. Luckily no one seemed to notice.

"So, why's Yugi been moved into here?" asked Ryou, perching on the edge of Yugi's bed.

"They need to find out why he's not talking…and as there is now medical reason…..they decided it would be for the best if they brought him in here." Explained Grandpa. He sounded like he was trying not to cry.

"But Yugi's not insane!" I realised with a jolt that it was me yelling this. "He just doesn't feel like talking right now."

"I know that Bakura." Grandpa sighed. "But they need to find out why he doesn't feel like talking."

I shut up after that. I was worried I might start yelling again if I opened my mouth. But then Yami started talking to me, so I had to talk back. I still couldn't get the memories of that dream out of my head. Yami was smiling at me now, almost the same smile as he had given me in the dream. After a while, a nurse came back in and told Yugi's Grandpa that he had to go fill in some form. Yami left to get a drink from the vending machine and me and Ryou went to the toilet. I was waiting for Ryou, but he was making a fuss of checking his reflection in the mirror and I got fed up so I went back to the room on my own. I sat down in my chair and smiled kindly at Yugi.

"Hi again Yugi." I said, trying to copy the tone Ryou uses when he's being extra nice to someone. There was silence for a while, until a gentle noise reached my ears. At first I thought Yugi was hiccupping, but then he made the noise again and I gasped.

"Hi." He said for a third time, clearer than before. Yugi had spoken!

End Chapter

Chan: once again, sorry for the long break in updates, but please R&R.

Yugi: -squeal- yay I'm talking! Even if it is just 'Hi'.
