&words to readers&
~uh...when I wrote the end of ch.3, the part about the boy, a couple of you guys guessed Kaiba. an, i shoulda thought of that, but that wasn't the guy I was talkin 'bout. If you guys remember, I said that in the 1st ch. Kaiba took Mokuba skiing for the holidays. but after reading the title for this ch., you already guessed that the young boy is Alan (My OC). but kaiba was a good guess, if i hadn't planned on incorporating Alan into this story, i probly would have put him in for a twist. o well, and F.Y.I. this ain't gonna be a yaoi. sry, i like reading yaoi, but i don't like writing them (weird huh?). but this is still gonna be a great fic (i think) so keep reading, it'll be more like Y+Y (sorta, brotherly love. i mean, he IS Yugi's angel). kk, i think that's it, let's begin cuz if i remember correctly, i left you guys on the edge of a cliff last ch. so don't topple ova cuz here's how it goes.
Last Time
~Yami finally discovered where Yugi lived, and after a bit of worry and confusion, headed to the hospital to find him. Meanwhile, Yugi had to take some more X-Rays, and discovered that he had a new roommate....but who is he? (duh, after reading the words to readers you already kno! well, anyhoo.)

Angels Watching Over Me
Chapter 4
***Near the entrance of the hospital***
'Yugi had better be in here.' Yami made himself transparent before floating through the doors and stopping in front of the check-in desk. No one was there, so he went to the back of it, pulled up the patient catalogue, and began a search for Yugi's room. 'This shouldn't take long, I mean, how many Yugi's can there be in this hospital?' He waited a moment after typing in Yugi's name when suddenly a screen popped up showing all the names and the room numbers of the patients found. 'WHAT?!?!' It turns out there were quite a few Yugi's residing in the hospital, 10 to be exact. 'I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE 10 YUGIS! Now I have to search each of the rooms.' Yami let out a sigh, then copied down all the names and room numbers, and began his search. 'This is gonna take awhile.'
***Back in Yugi's room***
"Um.....hi." Yugi didn't know what else to say. 'I hope I didn't wake him.' "Sorry if I woke you."
"Mmmm, no problem....*yawn* I didn't want to sleep that long anyway." The boy sat up in his bed, now rubbing his eyes and flattening his wild chestnut hair. *yawn* "What are you in for?"
"Oh, me? I broke my leg......while...uh...never mind."
"How? I wanna know."
'Now he feels like talking.' "Well...." Yugi hesitated, it was kinda stupid. "I-I tripped and fell down the stairs."
"Really?!? Wow, what a klutz." He tried to lower his voice for the second statement, but since it was only the two of them, the room was pretty quite, and Yugi heard.
"What?!" He started to go tomato, but then the kid restated his sentence.
"I......I meant....I meant happens to the best of us! Ya....YA..that's what I meant......heheheh..." He threw his arms over his shoulder and put on a full smile, trying to cover up his obvious mistake. Even though Yugi knew what he really meant...he appreciated the effort and put on a smile too.
"Oh, ya. Heh...." It was silent for a moment, until Yugi absentmindly started shuffling his deck.
"Hey! You play duel monsters?!"
"Ya. In my spare time with my friends." (A/N: This is AU remember? So jus pretend Yugi never had to go to the Duelist Kingdom tournament, but he's still a pro.)
"Really! Cool! Can you teach me? I was supposed to go to my cousins this Christmas, and he was going to teach me! He sent me a deck so I could get aquainted with the cards, but he didn't tell me the rules or nothing. But then my tonsils just HAD to be removed......*sigh* so I couldn't go."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Yea.....so, do you think you can teach me?" Yugi looked at him, he was pretty small, looked to be about 9 or 10. Even though he himself was only 2 yrs older (A/N: Let's say Yugi's 12 1/2 k?), the kid seemed like a toddler. He probably stuck to games jus like him, and he even had the puppy-dog eyes....Yugi couldn't say no.
"Sure kid. I can teach you." It was like fireworks went off in his eyes.
"COOL! THANK YOU!" He scrambled around his nightstand........ digging through the drawers, looking for the place where he placed his deck.
"Hey, can you come over here? I can't really move." The child turned around, deck in hand, nodding furiously.
"Sure! I don't mind!" He grabbed his blanket, draped it around his shoulders, and flopped himself onto the end of Yugi's bed. "By the way, my name is Alan!" Yugi offered another smile, then replied.
"Hi Alan, my name is Yugi."
***On the 2nd floor of the hospital***
'Man, anotha wild goose chase.' Yami took out his list and put a strike through the second to last name. 'Well, only one more to go, Yugi Motou, floor 4, room 404.'
***Back in Yugi's room***
"Ok, so now you know what magic and trap cards are, good, we're moving along pretty quick." Yugi had laid out his entire deck, and Alan the same. He had been showing Alan what each of his magic and trap cards were and what they were capable of. "Now all you got to learn are a few strategies, a few more rules and then you're set!"
"Really?!? Cool! Then maybe we could play a game?"
"Hm...if you really feel up to it, I guess so-*RING RING RING* huh?
oh...*RING RING SHMAK!*
"Why did you set your clock? Were you going to sleep a lil before we met?"
"No, I jus set it to remind me that I have to go take some more X-Rays."
"Aww...." He had a defeated look in his eyes, he really didn't want Yugi to leave.
"Don't worry, this shouldn't take long, I'll be back before you know it!" He began picking up his cards and put them on his nightstand. Then Yugi carefully slipped into his wheelchair, and started for the door. "You can stay on my bed, why don't you make up some strategies while I'm gone?"
"Aww....okey, come back soon?"
"Like I said....before you know it! Bye!"
"Bye Yugi!" With that, Yugi wheeled down the hallway, into the elevator, and headed towards the X-Ray lab.
***A few feet away from room 404***
'Finally, I can meet this child.' Yami turned the corner, found the room, and peered inside. 'WHAT!?! THAT'S NOT YUGI!' Yami took out the photo, glanced at it, then back at the child sitting on the bed. He must have done 3 double-takes before he left and floated down the hall. *sigh* 'I musta copied down the wrong numbers.' Yami started for the attendance desk again. 'This is RIDICULOUS! I coulda sworn all those names and numbers were right! hm...better check one more time. Can't fail this mission.'
(A/N: lol, poor Yami, but don't worry, he'll meet up w/Yugi really soon. an since i won't be puttin in anotha ch. till the end of the weekend, here's a lil more! Tym-hurry! you got more presentations to finish! SS-HOW DID YOU GET INTO MY AUTHOR'S NOTES?!?! GET OUT! *kicks tym back to the beginning/end of the fic*...uh.....plz continue =D!)
***In X-Ray lab***
'Man, I didn't think it'd take THIS long jus to get a couple shots of my leg.' *glances at clock* '10:17pm, don't they know that we little kids need sleep??!?? man, i wonder if Alan is still awake waiting for me.' (A/N: remember, Yugi left Alan around 9:40) When Yugi had arrived in the lab 37 min. ago, and he was still sitting in the same spot. His call number was 24 and so far, the doctors had gotten through 21. 'It shouldn't be much longer..
.....it SHOULDN'T' This was really testing Yugi's patience, he wanted to get back to teaching Alan, or at least get back to his comfy bed. *sigh* 'Not much longer........'
***In the halls of floor 1***
Meanwhile, Yami's patience was also being tested as he continued his search for the CoRrEcT Yugi. He had gotten through 4, and so far, none bared the slightest resemblence to his Yugi. 'Hm, maybe the right Yugi is jus out of the room when I come. *argh* i hope not, but.....it's not...impossible.' Yami stopped, then glanced at the clock (10:30pm). 'well, all the children are supposed to be in bed by now. Or 11:00 at the latest, I'm sure the workers wouldn't want them staying up too late. Maybe I should jus wait till all the kids are in bed before searching for my Yugi.' Yami thought about his new theory for a min. then decided it wasn't a bad one. He stayed transparent, found an empty room and sat in a cozy chair. 'Resting a bit wouldn't be a bad idea.....I mean, it's not like 'they' will know.' Yami convinced himself this was only a rest, but he soon found himself dozing off until he was completely out.
***In the halls of the 4th floor***
'11:10, I can't believe it took THAT long to get few more pictures of my instep.' Yugi silently wheeled his way into his room and found Alan sound asleep on Yugi's bed. Cards in one hand, and a corner of his blanket tightly clutched in his other. 'hm....cute. but how am i supposed to get him to his own bed?' It took a few min. and a few trys before Yugi successfully transferred Alan into his own bed, placed the blankets over him, and put his deck into the drawer of his nightstand. He then took a short shower, and carefully tucked himself in his own bed. *sigh* 'Can't wait till I get outta here.' With that last thought, Yugi slowly drifted off to sleep.
***Back in the otha room***
"Mmm....mm..huh?" Yami had jus awoken from his 'short' nap and was stretching when he realized what time it was. "OMG IT'S ONE-" Yami cut his active voice short when he saw the door across from his own was wide open, with kids in the room, sleeping snugly in their beds. He mentally kicked himself, and continued his sentence. 'IT'S ONE FORTY!?!?!?! AM!!!!! HOW COULD I FALL ASLEEP ON THE JOB!?!?!???!!! Yami pulled out his list and hurridly (A/N: SS vocab) floated down the halls, continuing his search. 'Good thing 'they' can't see me now, otherwise they'd kick me out, clip my wings, and let me fall waaaay down.' It took Yami a good 10 min. before he finally got down to the last name on the list...again. Yugi Motou. 'Last one, this HAS to be my Yugi.' Yami phased through the door and took a good look around. In one bed was a small boy with chocolate colored hair, he was facing the window, sound-asleep. In the otha bed was anotha small boy with tri-colored hair, creamy skin, and a look of innocence on his angelic face. "Yugi."
