Uh, this one's kind of short, just letting you know. I do not own Yugioh, don't hate me, enjoy!

Chapter 14

"How is it you can walk so fast for someone so small?" Yami asked running to catch up with Yugi.

"Challenge Ushio and Bandit Keith to a race and you'll find out soon enough. I may be small, but I can out run those two slow bulking masses any day. Well, as long as the park is nearby I can." Yugi shot back over his shoulder, and started to move even faster, away from Yami.

Who could blame him, though, really? I mean the guy had just kissed him, kissed him in place where others could have seen. Yugi didn't need those rumors coming back; it was bad enough denying them the first time, when there was no proof. Though if someone had seen it this time, they would have all the proof they needed, maybe he should have wished for the rumors to go away instead of friends. Yugi couldn't help but feel that with this one kiss that Yami had given him, his whole world was going to be turned upside down again.

"Yugi, would you please slow down?" Yami shouted running up to him and grabbing his elbow, yanking him to a halt.

"Let go!" Yugi said yanking his arm out of Yami's grip.

"Will you just tell me what's wrong?" Yami asked exasperated.

"You kissed me, again. Only this time, you saw fit to do it in public where someone could see. I don't need to be put in the Hospital again because some psycho became jealous. Once was enough, thank you." Yugi spat the words at Yami before turning on his heel and walking towards the grocery store again that was near his house.

"Wasn't that three years ago? When you weren't home for two weeks, and when you did come back you were bedridden for two weeks more?" Yami asked his voice just barely being carried on the wind towards Yugi.

Yugi stopped and turned to look at Yami slightly before nodding his head.

"Yes, but that's a conversation for another time, after you get everyone else's stories. If you thought I was blind to your and Malik Ishtar's note passing behind me, you're quite mistaken. I just hope you're ready for a battle, because that's what you will receive. That's what everyone received." Yugi said turning back around, and continuing to walk towards the store.

Malik Ishtar and Ryou Bakura, there was no doubt in Yami's mind that Yugi had purposefully given him Malik's last name. Almost as if he knew it was one of the last pieces to Yami's own puzzle.

"Prepare the troops Yugi; I'm ready for any battle you send my way." Yami whispered in Yugi ear after he had run to catch up with him. Now that Yugi was walking at a normal pace it wasn't that hard to match him stride for stride, anymore.

"Famous last words, Yami." Yugi replied, before taking a left in front Yami.

They walked about two more blocks before they came across a store that sold food. Yugi walked inside, grabbing a basket, and wheeling it into the main part of the store. If only Yugi had known what Yami would be like in the store, he would have dropped him off at home first then gone shopping.

Two hours later, Yugi was heading home laden with bags of groceries, without Yami. He had left him in the store, on account that Yami felt the need to investigate every aisle and not just the ones they needed to go down. Yugi didn't have any pets, so he didn't need to go down the pet food aisle. At least that's what he tried to explain to Yami, as he went rushing down the aisle. This happened to be where Yugi had given up, and just continued shopping without Yami, leaving him in aisle three, where the pet food was.

Hoisting one of the bags for a better grip, Yugi walked home alone, loaded with more groceries than he had ever carried before. This wouldn't have happened if Yami had just listened to him in the first place, and stuck to his side like he was supposed to.

Yugi was about a block from home, and crossing an intersection, when time seemed to stand still. He saw out of the corner of his eyes, a sleek black car coming straight for the intersection he was crossing, only the car was speeding up not slowing down. Yugi faintly heard a voice call out to him.

"Yug' watch out!"

Though the voice sounded familiar, he wasn't sure exactly why they were telling him to watch out. He could very well see the car coming for him, could very well focus on their license plate. So why were they telling him to watch out when he already was watching the black car with the tinted windows getting closer?

A heavy impact hit Yugi from the right side sending his grocery bags flying in every direction, as the force of the person grabbing him, sent them both flying out of the cars way. Yugi had a second to sigh in relief that the car hadn't hit him, before a resounding crunch met his ears, and pain shot throughout his entire lower left body.

The person who had grabbed him before, had already moved their own legs off the road, but had been unsuccessful in moving Yugi's as well. Yugi's entire left leg was bent in places it shouldn't have been, and blood was pouring everywhere.

Someone told the person who had grabbed him that they had called an ambulance, but that they should try to stop the bleeding on his leg, or Yugi would bleed to death before help could arrive in time.

"Right, here wrap this around the wound and press down." A piece of cloth was handed between the one who had grabbed him, and the one who had called the ambulance. That's when a new voice arrived in the area, and this one Yugi recognized immediately.

"Jounouchi, what did you do to Yugi?!" Yami's voice ripped through the moment of silence.

"I saved his life! Where were you?! Weren't you two supposed to be walking home together?!" Jounouchi spat back at him.

"He left me at the store that sells food, probably because I wanted to investigate every aisle. Why did you need to save his life? Was it in danger?" Yami said back coldly, crouching down next to Yugi.

"Well would you consider an immobile Yugi standing in the middle of the road, as a car came speeding towards him danger?" Jounouchi asked sarcastically of Yami.

"Did you see who was driving the car?!" Yami shouted as his temper hit the roof.

"No, the windows were tinted; all I saw was a shadow of a person." Jounouchi responded, shaking his head, and starting to apply pressure on Yugi's heavily bleeding leg. He had only realized that with Yami's arrival he had forgotten about Yugi possibly bleeding to death.

Yugi's sharp cry of pain brought Yami's eyes narrowing at Jounouchi's actions, but when he saw that the boy was trying to stop the bleeding by applying pressure, he instead tried to comfort Yugi. Trying in any way he could, without kissing of course, to comfort and distract him.

This led Yami to petting Yugi's hair until the paramedics arrived. Yugi was quickly bundled up onto a gurney and loaded into the back of the ambulance, as was Yami. It was immediately assumed by the paramedics that Yami was family, because of Yugi's and Yami's twin like appearances. Yami didn't try to correct them, he just allowed himself to be ushered into the back of the vehicle as well. He wasn't going to be leaving Yugi's side for a long time, if this is what happened when he did. Yugi wasn't going to be able to leave his sight ever again. It didn't matter to Yami how much Yugi would complain about it, he was sleeping in his corner of Yugi's room again.

As soon as they got to the Hospital three male nurses had to hold Yami back while a female nurse injected a sedative in his arm. This was due to the fact that Yami had already knocked out five nurses, two doctors, and a security guard, trying to follow Yugi into the surgery room, when the paramedics in the vehicle said they were losing him as they unloaded Yugi. Yami fell unconscious but not before taking one of the male nurses with him into the oblivion he was entering.
