3rd P.O.V
It's been three days since the incident. "Come on Seto! There has to be something we can do." The elder of the Kaiba siblings closed his eyes, his arms were crossed as sat in Atem's apartment. "Calm down Mokuba." The two had just received the phone call an hour ago.
And the tension has ceased to leave. "But there's no doubt that Aunt Kamilah and Uncle Tau are behind this." As much as Seto didn't want to admit it, he believed in that too. But he didn't want to be too hasty and point fingers.
Not without concrete proof at least. "As of this moment we have no idea if they have any connection to the fire. Witness reports showed no one matching their descriptions. If anything police are on the lookout for two young looking men."
With a frustrated sigh, Kaiba opens up his laptop, already hacking into the police's files. Under Kaiba's harsh pressure the cops have been turning this case into an absolute priority, doing whatever they can to find the fiends behind this.
However as of right now, there was very little to go on. Vague testimony of seeing some strange men in the area, evidence of a struggle and of them purposely setting the house on fire.
No credit card trace or suspicious equipment. Right now the only hope is the security cameras Mr. Muto has installed in his shop. Of course the fire severely damaged them, and there's no guarantee they even picked up much due to it being the dead of night.
"Any news of Yugi?" Atem and Yami weren't even home. But at the hospital, at this point the nurses know them by name with how often they stayed visiting. "Currently she and her cousin are still unconscious, neither of them are in critical condition." Still there's no telling when they'll wake up.
If...they wake up. Things weren't looking good at all. "Dammit." Muttering under his breath. "Of course this had to happen with the court case coming up." Yami was by far the worst off. Barely eating and sleeping.
Three days of grief and tears over the incident before they finally managed to call him and Mokuba. "What about Grandpa Muto?" It was still hard to accept the old man being gone. He left quite the impression on the Kaiba brothers. If anything they respected his wisdom and passion for duel monsters.
"Like with everything else, we're paying for his funeral. Atem was hoping Yugi will wake up in time to accept his death and say her goodbyes, but regardless of her condition, by the end of the week he'll be buried." The elder Shades brother meant well.
Knowing how heartbroken the girl would be waking and knowing he was buried without her there. But no matter what, she's going to wake up to a terribly cruel reality. Her home, and her grandfather will be gone. It was an uncomfortable silence, minus the furious typing on Kaiba's keyboard.
Just, what could either of them say? "Hey! Yami you in dere?" The loud voice and harsh banging on the door startled the brothers out of their thoughts. "And here we go." Mokuba heads for the door, revealing Joey and the rest of the loudmouth group.
It was a surprise to them, Joey especially, as he narrowed his eyes at the older of the two. "Why da hell are you two here? Where's Yami?" The brunette simply grunts, ignoring them as Mokuba moves to the side, letting them in.
Tea bites her lip as she looks around the living room. It was clean, too clean considering the pair who lives there. For the last few days her stomachs been in knots. At first she thought she was getting sick or her period...but no such luck. Something was wrong.
"Not here obviously." Ice blue eyes glance at the group for a moment before returning to his computer. This was not a day for any of them. "I know That rich boy! Now...so where is he?" Tristan was following Tea's gaze, a small frown on his face. Mokuba kept his gaze downwards, trying to hold in the tears.
Neither of the brothers answered his question, pissing him off more than he already was. "Answer me dammit! We've been trying to get ahold of him and his brother the last couple days and nothin!"
Already the elder brother was growing impatient. In general he couldn't stand the loud mouthed blonde, but today of all days was NOT one where he had the tolerance. He inhales and exhales, trying to muster the self-control he desperately needs.
"Well!? I want an answer!" It took one menacing glare to shut Joey up. Mokuba was standing there, kicking the ground with his hands behind his back. "They didn't tell you...did they?" Tea found it starting to find it difficult to breathe. "Tea?" Tristan was by her side in an instant.
He clearly saw the anxiety spreading across her face. She hasn't been able to get ahold of Yugi either. They had figured- thought, she'd be here, with Yami. She opens her mouth, closes it, and opens.
The words, they couldn't-wouldn't come out. "What? What's going on?" Seto took pity on the group, not like he was really getting anywhere anyways. Shutting his computer closed he stands. "Better to show you."
Meanwhile...
"Yami you have to eat. Here." Atem was exhausted, him and Yami both, but it broke him especially seeing his little brother so...lifeless. "Not hungry." The younger teen didn't even look up to see his sibling holding out some bread and coffee.
The last three days have been nothing short of a hellish cycle. "Please, just a few bites at least. Yugi wouldn't want you wasting away because of her." It was a cruel thing to say, especially since she was right there, unconscious.
But it was true, if she were awake right now she'd be lecturing the hell out of him. "Fine." With a menacing scowl he takes the food. He really wasn't hungry, his appetite, much like his patience has flown south lately.
"Any news from the police?" Atem could only sigh, and that was enough of an answer to the teen. Nothing, of course. "Give them time. Those bastards won't get away with this."
They believed that, they had to, because there is no way that it would be otherwise. No matter what the people who did this to Yugi and her family had to pay, they had to be brought to justice. "Please...wake up Yugi." Tears were ready to fall down crimson eyes.
Yami for the first time in so long felt...useless. Sitting in a chair at the hospital, day in and out, watching over his girlfriend, knowing someone hurt her, had tried to kill her. And actually succeeded in killing her grandfather. His blood boiled as the thoughts constantly plagued his mind.
Ever since he was young, he never truly believed in the idea of gods, not of Egypt, or Japan, but...if they did exist, he found them to be heartless ones. As his prayers were never answered. Not as an innocent child, and not now as a realistic young man.
The Shades siblings found their attention turn to the door at the sound of knocking. "Afternoon gentlemen." It was Ishizu, Yugi's doctor. "Hello." She sighs, lifting her clipboard. "I'm sorry to do this to you, but I need to check up on her, and would like the privacy." Usually the nurses would do this.
But most of them had their hands full with the recent arrival of victims from a train accident. "Of course." Atem and Yami rose from their seats. "We'll be off." Ishizu could only shake her head.
"It's no wonder she has yet to awaken, there is far too much negativity in this room. The both of you need to clear your minds, and come back ready to greet her return, not burrow into your minds like a mole in the ground. She is alive, she is healing. But she also needs your support."
She didn't like giving lectures, even if it was something to ensure the good health and swift recovery of her patients. However it was clear to her that something needed to be said. All she has seen from them the last three days from them was this overbearing sense of darkness, of grief.
Granted they had every right to be sad, to be angry, and frustrated. But their focus was so strongly intuned to the negatives of the predicament, they haven't turned to a single positive thing. "This room could use some color, why don't you two get some flowers?"
Working in this line of business was tough. "Right, thank you Doctor." It was a very stressful career where ones life and death is literally in her hands. She's met a lot of people over the years. And if there was one thing that she couldn't stand...
...It was when people gave up far too early. The future is never set in stone. Though each person has a destiny, it is one they control with their own two hands with the path they create. Yugi despite her injuries she received which could and Would be fatal... was still fighting to live.
There was no way Ishizu would allow the two people she needed most to continue acting like fish out of water. Hopelessly flailing, desperately wishing that the pain will magically vanish or someone will come to their rescue.
It was less of a question and more of a demand as the two brothers left. For the first time since the incident, their eyes, and minds were clear. Though they've yet to let go of their worry and grief, they took note of Ishizu's advice.
Yami stretches, getting a few satisfying pops in his arms and spine. "I think I'll go visit the flower shop, get something for Yugi and Mai." Atem smiles, for once, it wasn't a pained one.
"Sounds good, actually, I think I'll pay her a visit, I know Valon came by earlier so I'll see how he's doing." The two separate, unaware of the third party making their way into the hospital with concerned and confused eyes

Author Notes: My...what a phase of negativity we have. I'm actually surprised with how much this chapter had, it didn't take me too long though i know this is more or less a filler-continuation chapter.
Oh well, this wasn't too bad, after this author notes i have the meanings and names for Yami's aunt and uncle. Now take note I took time and energy to pick these names, and though i dont like them, i feel like they fit.
So be nice and have mercy on me. Alright with that I'm shoving off. Please feel free to fav/follow/review if you like this, as i appreciate any support i receive. tchao for now!
