3rd P.O.V

Time can be strange, both fleeting and eternal. Starting or ending in an instant or going onwards for what seems like an endless cycle. Yami...couldn't even bother trying to look at the clock. He felt frozen, numb from the world, and the horrible reality he was in.

As of right now his girlfriend was fighting for her life, and all he could do was sit and wait. It was just like with Ushio all over again...only this time it was more than some asshole bully thinking he could get away with hurting his classmates.

No, something was wrong, very wrong. Ryou entering his dreams to wake him up proved as much. For the gameshop to catch on fire was so unnatural, that late in the night, everyone should've been asleep at that point.

There was no doubt foul play was afoot. But he had no evidence, nothing he could say or prove his theory. And it left him all the more anxious while waiting for his brother.

He was relieved when Atem and the officers more or less believed him. Atem especially since he decided not to murder him in front of the police. Sure he wasn't completely truthful, but it was simple and the basics of what happened.

"I had a really bad dream and it was about Yugi. I called her and sent her messages to make sure she was ok, but-I panicked when she didn't respond. So I rushed over on my brother's motorcycle to see if things were alright. Then I heard the sirens and then saw the flames."

Atem knew that he wasn't being entirely truthful in his statement, but he backed him, with the silent promise of explaining why he was really up so late. And it was what led his elder sibling to speak with the officers in charge of the case and the doctors in charge of the Muto family.

Yami couldn't help but tap his foot in impatience, it felt way too quiet for his liking. His gaze fell down to the pyramid necklace. His fingers gripping it tightly, clutching it closely to his chest.

He prayed, with all his heart and soul that his girlfriend was alright, that her and her family would survive. As much as he wanted to call this off as some bad dream...it wasn't, he had to accept the reality as it is.

"I have to say. I'm surprised yet happy that you haven't gone into denial. I know most who under such tragic circumstances who would rather ignore the problem, rather than accept and face it. Then again...you're not like most people. Aren't you Yami-San?"

Blinking, the red eyed teen found himself face to face with coffee brown orbs and a whimsical smile. "Ryou? How am I able to see you? Let alone talk to you?" His smile widens a bit more, it was almost as if he was amused.

And it was then that Yami realizes it...he wasn't in the hospital anymore. "You Are still in the hospital Yami. You've just fallen asleep while waiting for news. I can't blame you, considering what happened...sorry for yelling at you earlier by the way."

It took him a moment, maybe two for him to respond to the deceased male. "Um, I, well you don't need to apologize, but I have a lot of questions. Questions you've been evading by the way." It sounded so crazy, absolutely insane. Se was trying to interrogate a ghost.

Desperate for answers. Whereas said ghost was now laughing, as if he had just been hit with the best joke he's ever heard. Though that did lead to even more questions. Such as why was Ryou even trying to communicate with him in the first place.

He was Yugi's best friend after all. "Again my apologies. To be frank though, I'm not evading them. There are...rules I guess I should say. Rules that forces me to choose my words very carefully so I can speak to you. It was why I couldn't tell you about Yu-kun's condition."

For a moment Ryou's eyes... Despite the smiles and the light-hearted tone, it was obvious to Yami that the white haired wasn't really the joking type. Neither of them found this to be a funny situation whatsoever.

"Listen and listen well Yami. Yu-kun...you and I both know what happened to her was no accident. Someone made it happen." There it was, his suspicions were on point.

Right from the very person who warned him about it in the first place. "Do you know who it is?" For a moment the ghost boy flinched. "Yes...but i'm afraid I can't tell you the identity. I can say however that the people who did it didn't have a motive against the Mutos."

Before Yami could ask anymore he felt the darkness around him shake. It felt like an earthquake was happening in his mind. But at this point he had an idea as to what was going on. Someone was shaking him awake.

"I'm afraid this is as much as I can do to help Yami. I won't be able to visit you anymore, but I will watch over you and Yu-Kun. Please stay strong, stop those responsible for what happened, and be there for her. Make her happy."

With those final words Yami found himself blinking open his eyes. The darkness was gone, he was back in the hospital, with his brother looking at his pale, exhausted complexion. "Hey. Sorry to wake you, but I figured you could use the sugar and the news."

A cold sensation on Yami's arm sent him goosebumps. Looking down his still sleepy gaze found a can of soda. "Thanks." Gingerly he opened it, taking a slight sip. As much as he appreciated the gesture, the caffeine didn't do him much good.

And the goosebumps weren't just from the soda. Ryou couldn't say much, but it was more than enough for Yami to piece things together. Someone-no. Some people had made this happen. The hint about the people doing the deed had no motive against Yugi or her family.

He doubted that they were just some thugs who thought to commit burglary. Sure the gameshop made some good cash, especially with how popular games such as Duel Monsters and Dungeon Dice Monsters were.

But to attack an entire family, and burn them alive when if they were burglars should of just taken the cash and ran instead of what happened. Would they or...? It also didn't make sense since this wasn't the richest neighborhood. Why come here?

His head was hurting, nothing was making sense. Ryou's statements made it seem like there were multiple people involved. Sighing he looks up towards his elder brother. "What's the news you wanted to tell me." His stomach was in knots, and looking at Atem's pained expression wasn't helping matters.

For a moment, the older of the two keeps silent, making the stressful atmosphere even more unbearable. "I'm sorry Yami...but Yugi's in really bad shape. She was roughed up, got a concussion and bruises all over. And with the fire, she has severe burns and inhaled a lot of smoke. She's on life support."

He couldn't breath, he wasn't sure he could. This couldn't be happening, but still. "Why does it sound like you're not done." Atem bites his lip, trying his best to hold out, to keep his tears from flowing. But he couldn't, it was impossible. "Gramps...the doctor just told me, he died." Atem let's out a sob.

Covering his mouth unable to hold in the agony he was facing. His younger brother was frozen, dipped in ice as he news hit him like a truck. "No. Grandpa Muto...it can be true!" He wanted to tell his brother to stop lying. He didn't want to accept the truth.

But he couldn't run from this. Someone hurt his girlfriend, killed her family. KILLED HER GRANDFATHER! His fist smashes against the wall as tears slicked down his cheeks. "Whoever did this will fucking pay! They're not going to get away with this!"
