Light Gone Forever
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh but hey, Christmas is coming up! ^_^*
Notes: I am super sorry that it has been so long since I last wrote! I have been really busy with shopping and Basketball and maintaining some sort of social life. You have no idea how much stress I am under, get this, we have two weeks off from school, I really only have two days. I don't have basketball on Christmas day and New Years Eve because the school won't let my coach have us there. But Christmas Eve seems to be fair game. Man I am starting to think our coach really is evil! SO anyway I have been using my little time that I have to rest up. I know that if I lay down at nine I won't wake till the next morning due to exhaustion.
As for your questions, the answer is coming in the next chapter!!!

Yami dashed up the stairs and into Yugi's old room. He was horrified to find Yugi on the floor holding his stomach in pain.
"Yugi," Yami called out as he dropped down next to his light. Yami gently lifted Yugi's head onto his lap and brushed the hair out of his sweaty face. Yami could feel the heat radiating off of Yugi.
Serenity came panting up the stairs and was alarmed to find Yugi and Yami on the floor.
"Are you okay?" She asked as he knelt down next to Yami, as she did she felt a piece of paper under her knee. She lifted her knee to get the item out only to find it was a picture. In the picture were a boy, Yugi, and a woman with Violet eyes. She guessed that it was Yugi's mother.
"Yami look here, he came back for this picture," Serenity said as she held it up for Yami to see. He lifted his head slightly and then his focus went back to the feverish Yugi. "He doesn't look to go, let's get him back to the car," she said and she rose. She went to his bed and pulled a sheet off of it.
"Wrap him in this, it's freezing out there, the rain doesn't make it much better either," Serenity said as she threw the sheet at Yami. Yami wrapped Yugi and picked him up with ease.
'Does my aibou ever eat, he is so light' Yami thought. He placed Yugi gently in the car and Serenity took off towards the house. Serenity was racking her mind for signs that he was sick but she hadn't noticed anything this morning.
When they arrived back at Serenity's house Yami and Serenity rushed Yugi inside and into his bed. Serenity went to fetch a cold washcloth and Yami just stayed with Yugi his eyes never faltering.
To Yami he looked pale and very sickly, but how. Yugi had looked just fine this morning; there was nothing wrong with him. Why this morning he was full of life.
Serenity returned to see that Yami hadn't moved from Yugi's side, she sat on the bed and placed the washcloth on Yugi's forehead. Then she placed a comforting hand on Yami's shoulder.
"Come on he is strong, he will be fine Yami," Serenity said, she wasn't sure if she was trying to reassure Yami, of herself.
"He is so small, I mean even for his age he is small. So much has happened to him, his father beat him into blindness, and then, when life started going right for him, his grandfather dies. His life has been filled with pain and sorrow, I don't know if he even remembers him mother yet his misses her as well," Yami was just going on and on again.
"He knew her," Serenity said fingering the picture in her pocket.
Yami's head, for the first time since they had arrived home, went to Serenity's eyes. "How do you know that?"
Serenity didn't say anything, the look in Yami's eyes brought tears to her eyes. She took the picture out of her pocket and handing it to him. Yami's eyes seemed fixated on it for a long time. Yami was brought out of his trance like state by Faye. (Thought I had forgotten about her huh?)
Faye had just walked into the room and had taken a spot on the end of Yugi's bed. Yami was going to shoo her away but Serenity stopped him.
"She is confused, who knows how long she has been with Yugi. I think she just wants to comfort him," she said. She ended up being right; Faye slowly made her way up the bed until she was right next to Yugi. She worked her head under his arm and just lay next to him.
Yugi didn't respond to this and Serenity could tell this frightened Faye but with a quick pat from Serenity she quickly resumed what she had been doing.
"Do you think she will help?" Yami asked because he felt helpless; a dog could be more help to Yugi them himself?
"It has been said that animals can help people heal better then some modern medicine. Cats especially, but I guess dogs are able to create the same effect," Serenity said, she sounded like a book to Yami, he stopped listening.
Yugi didn't wake for the rest of the night. Serenity had informed Joey the minute that he got home. Yami stayed with Yugi the whole time, and all threw the night. He didn't fall asleep or get up for any reason. In the morning however he looked like crap.
"Yami, you should get some sleep," Serenity said. Yami looked at her with hopeless eyes.
"Well at least eat something," she said. Yami shook his head, he wasn't go9ing anywhere.
"What if I bring it to you?" she asked she was desperate. Yami nodded slowly, he felt weak and he knew it was because of lack of energy. "Good," she said quietly, and then she left the room.
Yami looked out the window; it was raining for the second day in a row. This intrigued him a bit, in Egypt it never rained like this. It hardly rained at all!
Downstairs Serenity had just finished making some scrambled eggs for Yami when there was a knock on the door.
Serenity went and opened the door; she was surprised to find a man, soaked to the bone, standing there. She quickly rushed him inside and gave him a blanket. When she did she realized who he was.
"Why Mr. Kaiba, what are you doing here?" she asked. She was very surprised that he was at her house and even more that he was just standing outside of her door and knocking.
"I need to see Yugi Motou right now," he demanded.
"No, I will not allow you to," Serenity said forgetting who she was talking to.
"I said I needed to and I ALWAYS get what I need! My brothers life depends on it!" Kaiba yelled.
"Not this time bucko, Yugi is . . . well, come with me and I will show you," she said quietly. Kaiba stood up, still wrapped with a blanket, and followed Serenity up the stairs. "I just want you to be quite do I make myself clear," Serenity said.
"Fine, I will do as you ask," Kaiba said, his mind was still on his brother but this girl seemed to be rather serious about this.
As Serenity opened the door Yami didn't move his head, he knew that Serenity was coming back but he didn't expect her to bring company.
Kaiba was surprised to see what he did. He expected it to be something else, like the boy being asleep. This was not expected however. What he saw did all but make him want to laugh. There was the little boy he had saved from a bully, lying on his back in bed and not moving.
"What is wrong with him?" Kaiba asked quietly, he remembered what Serenity had asked of him.
"We are not sure, we are too afraid to move him though," Serenity said.
"I have seen enough," Kaiba said as he left the room. For a split second he had forgotten the whole reason that he had come in the first place.
He walked back down the stairs and took a seat on the couch. Serenity came down soon after.
"My name is Serenity by the way," she said.
"You know how I am. I . . . I want to help Yugi. He tried to help me," Kaiba said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Serenity asked, she could tell by his voice he was upset about something. She put a comforting hand on his back just like she had done for Yami.
"My brother, I had only looked away for a moment, and then he was gone," Kaiba said. He felt tears in his eyes and quickly pushed then down.
"I am so sorry, I don't understand one thing though, how did Yugi help you?" Serenity asked.
"He warned me, he saw my brother being taken at the park and he warned me. I didn't believe him and let my brother be alone and then he was gone!" Kaiba cried.
"I am so sorry, Mr. Kaiba," Serenity said, she was doing all she could to not cry herself.
"Please call my Seto," he said, they just sat there for a while, just quietly sitting there.
Back in Yugi's room Yami had noticed Serenity enter and then leave, he looked but found no food. He figured nothing of it and returned his attention to Yugi.
Another ten minutes went by before Yami got a sign of life from Yugi. All of a sudden the boys hand moved slightly, and then a few minutes after that Yugi's void eyes opened. Not much but he was awake.
"Yugi," Yami said, he realized that his voice was hoarse but didn't care. Yugi's head turned but he didn't speak, he was too weak to.
"Serenity! Yugi is awake!" Yami yelled, he didn't care how much it hurt for him to yell, he did it anyway. He heard someone running up the stairs and then another but didn't care.
Serenity came through the door with a bowl in her hand. Yami noticed that it was broth, nothing in it, just broth.
Serenity didn't say anything to Yami; she just sat next to him and on the bed with Yugi. She lifted Yugi's head slowly and propped it up on a pillow. Then she took a spoonful up broth and held it to Yugi's lips, after a while Yugi slowly drank the broth.
Serenity smiled, "Are you feeling any better Yugi?" she asked, his head did not move, he didn't show any sign the he was going to answer her but his head did turn towards her.
Serenity was a little worried about this so she tried to talk to him again, "Are you in pain Yugi?" she asked, this time Yami answered for him.
"No I would have felt it, I can feel that his body is extremely weak though," Yami said and for the first time since he arrived Yami noticed Seto Kaiba in the corner of the room.
"Who invited you," he said venomously.
