The night seemed to last forever indeed. The figure has once again emerged from the shadows in which it lives in. The figured roamed the streets quite slyly, as if hunting down a next prey. He (If it IS a he mwahahahaha *cough*) approached the Wheeler Residence and glanced around. Noticing an open window, he walked over to it and levitated up. He hopped into the window and glanced at a sleeping Joey (sorry i can't spell his japanese game), then grabbed a nearby pillow. He tiptoed over to Joey and placed the pillow over his face, in attempt to suffocate him. Joey struggled and then managed to kick the figure away, into a wall. Joey sat up quickly and attacked him. The figure slammed his knee into his gut and then tossed him out the window. Before another move was made, sirens made their way to the Wheeler Residence. The figure cursed silently and seemed to have disappeared into thin air. The paramedics placed Joey on a stretcher and wheeled him into the ambulence as they drove off toward Domino Hospital. The phone rang sharply at the Motou Residence. Yugi snapped awake and looked at his clock. Four in the morning. Yugi grumbled as Yami watched him from a dark corner. Yugi reached for the phone and picked it up, nearly half asleep. Yugi'd eyes widened quite considerably and he hung up the phone, grabbing his coat. Yami emerged from his corner, still dressed from yesterday. Yugi looked at Yami before slipping some sneakers on.
"Joey is in the hospital, he was attacked..." Yugi said with a waver in his voice.
"Then let's go Yugi..."
Yugi and Yami ran out the door and to Domino Hospital, entering the hospital with no hesitation. Yugi ran up to the desk and asked for the room Joey was in. The receptionist pointed to the door and Yugi nodded, running into the room. Joey glanced over at Yugi and smiled. Yami entered second, which made Joey even more happy. Joey sat up and looked at them.
"Hey guys!" Joey exclaimed.
"Joey, are you alright?" Yugi asked.
"Hey, you know me, I'm fine! What about you guys?"
"Fine, but you had me worried Joey..."
"You had both of us worried..." Yami said.
"I'm sorry guys... I didn't intend to do that... but hey I'm cool and that's all that matters!"
"Right!"
Yami glanced at Yugi while he continued his conversation with Joey. Yugi was still in his pajamas, but he supposed he didn't have enough time to actually change. Yugi's pajamas were a plain light blue and the coat he was wearing was a darker shade of blue. His eyes were slightly red and his cheeks were rosey. His sneakers were white but there was a coating of dirt upon them. The Millenium Puzzle reamined around his neck, still as shimmering as usual. Yami smiled to himself and continued scanning the room. He looked over at Joey. Joey's hair was quite messed up since he was awakened from his slumber. Joey's eyes had a distinct gleam within them and his cheeks were also rosey as well. Joey laughed as his conversation continued on. He seemed to be doing quite well for someone who was just thrown out a window. The nurse walked into the room and informed that visiting hours were now over. Yugi and Yami nodded and they waved to Joey as they left the room. They started walking down the street, silently. No one had said a word since they left the hospital. Yami stared at the stars in the sky, they were shining brightly tonight. He smiled as the cool breeze swept across his face. Yugi was watching the ground, thinking about all that has happened. They finally reached the Game Shop and they walked inside. Yugi sighed slightly and walked up stairs, into his room. Yugi removed his sneakers and coat, then grabbed his book. He turned to the page he last left off and continued to read. Yugi turned the page and stared at a quote he once heard from Anzu. She must have read the same book as he was reading now.
"One day you'll come to me and ask me which is more important: you or my life. Then you'll walk away, never knowing that you are my life."
Yugi smiled to himself and continued reading on. Yami made his way up the stairs, thinking. He was in the middle of devising a plan to get rid of this person.
Yami stopped at the door frame of Yugi's room and stood there, silently. Yugi glanced at him, with a questioning look. Yami snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Yugi. Yugi returned his smile and went back to his book. Yami walked back to his corner and sat there, silently. He could hardly be seen except for his feet, since the light from the moon was shining on them. Yugi placed his book on the desk next to his bed and snuggled himself under his covers, instantly falling asleep as his head hit the pillow. Yami glanced at Yugi then back at the ground. He shut his eyes momentarily then opened them, a smirk crawling upon his face. He then shut his eyes once again and went into a peaceful slumber. The morning came quite quickly once again. Yugi was downstairs playing video games. Yami was in the kitchen, trying to cook breakfast. (Poor Yami...) Yugi chuckled to himself when he heard the struggle from Yami. Yami finally finished and placed the food on the table. His face was sweaty from the steam and the apron (WHAT a man...) was dirty from his struggle. Yugi hopped into his chair and began to eat. Yami stared at him momentarily and Yugi looked up, smiling happily. Yami smiled back and began to eat, with much satisfaction. They both finished and placed the plates in the sink. Yugi ran back to his game and continued playing intently. Yami watched the screen as yugi played. On the screen was a boy at the age of 14, with a long key that was used as a weapon. Beside the boy was a duck and a dog of some sort. Yami blinked then shook his head, not wanting to try and understand it. Yugi called it a day for video games and put it away after two hours of playing. Yami was sitting on the couch and staring at Yugi, who seemed to be in a cheerful mood. Yugi hopped into the kitchen to fetch himself a drink, Yami just sat there and watched. Time has flew by fast since the last death of that dumb kid named Mike. It was Christmas Eve today, maybe that's why Yugi was so cheerful. Yugi walked outside then dragged in a huge tree. Yami blinked twice. Yugi dragged it into the living room and placed it on the tree stand. He sorted out the branches and ran upstairs, coming back down with boxes a few seconds later. Yugi pulled out a string of lights and started putting them on the tree. Yami smiled and walked over to him grabbing some ornaments. Yugi finished with the light and motioned Yami to begin. Yami nodded and started hanging ornaments on the tree as did Yugi. A few hours passed and Yami lifted Yugi onto his shoulders. Yugi, with the star in his hand, placed it on the top of the tree. He hopped down from Yami's shoulders and plugged the lights in. The tree lit up brightly. Yami was so amazed by the lights, he smiled as Yugi ran upstairs and came down with wrapped boxes and placed them under the tree. Yami blinked again as Yugi smiled and went to the kitchen to bake some christmas cookies. Yami glanced at Yugi then went into the closet, pulling out wrapped gifts and sneakily placing them under the tree. Yugi placed the cookies in a tin and ran to change into his PJs. He then hopped into bed and snuggled under the covers. He fell asleep as soon as he heard Yami enter the room. Yami walked over to his corner once more and fell asleep, smiling.
