Chapter-Four The Letter
*
"Who would be sending Yugi a letter?" asked Tea.
"I don't know" said Yami.
"I know, maybe it's a get well card for Yugi!" Said Joey.
"Yeah, Joey's right that's what its gotta be" said Tristan.
"We can give it to him when he wakes up" said Tea "That'll make him feel better."
"Well what do you guys want for dinner?" asked Bakura as he started to walk into the kitchen.
One word was said by the one and only "PIZZA!"
"Not again Joey" everyone said at the same time.
"How about spaghetti?" asked Bakura.
"Sure" said Tea and Tristan.
"Sounds great" said Yami.
"It's not Pizza, but I can live with it" said Joey.
"I don't care" said Yami Bakura.
"Then it's settled" Bakura said, as he went into the kitchen to prepare it.
Yami Bakura and Tea went to help him while Yami, Tristan and Joey retreated to the living room for some TV.
*
Yami flopped down on the couch, his whole body was tired even his spiky hair. Usually standing strait up, it now drooped over a bit.
"Wow you look completely wiped" stated Joey.
"Huh, oh ya I guess I haven't been sleeping well lately that's all" said Yami as he made himself comfortable.
"You've been worried that's why. You can take a nap if you want we'll wake you when dinner is ready" said Tristan.
"Yes but Tristan will be the one to wake you. I'm not risking it again" said Joey as he touched his nose.
Tristan and Yami laughed.
"Thanks I think I will" said Yami as he draped the blanket over himself and lied down.
He soon fell asleep.
"Poor guy he is wearing himself too thin" said Tristan.
"Yeah, but at least he's sleeping now" said Joey.
*
The spaghetti was finished and Tristan went to wake Yami.
"What if he hits me?" he asked worriedly.
"Just make sure you get out of the way" said Joey.
Tristan just looked at him with disbelief.
"Hey you should be grateful, I didn' even get this advice" said Joey.
Tristan walked cautiously over to his sleeping friend, and poked him in the shoulder. Unlike when Joey had tried to wake him Yami awoke immediately.
"Whoa, I thought you were a heavy sleeper?" asked Joey.
"Oh I told you I'm not sleeping very well, it's like I'm always alert" answered Yami.
"Ya we can tell, Yami you look exhausted you had better get some sleep tonight, we will take care of Yugi. Well anyways dinner is ready" said Tristan.
"Don't you have school tomorrow?" asked Yami.
"No tomorrow is a holiday for us so we can help you for one more day. But if you still need us which I think you might, one of us can stay home a day."
"That's not necessary . . . you should go to school" said Yami as he yawned.
"Well we'll talk about it tomorrow, lets eat" said Tristan.
They all sat at the table and ate their dinner.
*
While Yugi was getting progressively worse by the minuet, the nightmares that plagued his dreams were draining all his energy.
*
"The next time Yugi wakes up we should try to get him to eat" said Tea as she finished her dinner.
"Yes but I have a feelin' he wont eat it" said Joey.
"But we should at least try" said Tristan.
"Yami what do you think" said Bakura.
". . ."
"Yami?"
"Oh yes I think we should sorry."
"Yami you haven't touched your dinner, don't you like it?" asked Bakura feeling slightly hurt.
"Oh I do, I'm just not that hungry" said Yami as he forced himself to eat a mouthful.
"Are you feeling alright Yami?" asked Tea.
"Yes I'm fine, I guess I'm just too tired to eat" he said.
"Well if you weren't feeling well, you would tell us right? We can't have the same thing that has happened to Yugi, happen to you."
"I'm fine, tired but fine" he said.
"Well me and Joey will watch Yugi first, so you should get some sleep" said Tristan as he took his plate to the sink.
"Yeah, so you don't have to worry he's in good *crash * hands" Joey said as he dropped his plate. "Oops sorry."
*
Yami lugged himself to the couch, flopped onto it and feel asleep once he hit the pillow. Tea walked over to him and draped the blanket over him.
"He really needs to sleep, this time we shouldn't wake him unless it's an emergency" she said to the others.
They all nodded.
"Well you don't have to worry about Yugi, me and Tristan are watchin' him" said Joey.
"Well I hope you take better care of Yugi, than you did that plate" said Yami Bakura.
Joey just turned red, the rest laughed.
Yami Bakura, Bakura and Tea went to sleep since Yami was already gone. Tristan and Joey went to Yugi's room.
*
When Joey and Tristan entered Yugi's room, he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
"That's good he isn't having another nightmare" said Tristan as he quickly took the chair by Yugi's desk.
"Ya he's had so many of em'. Hey I want the chair!"
"Shh! You'll wake Yugi up."
"But I want the chair" pouted Joey.
"Too bad I got here first."
Giving up, Joey sat on the floor leaning against Yugi's bed.
*
Yami awoke from one of his own nightmares. He lost Yugi. He sat up on the couch, and decided to get a glass of water.
"Just a dream, it wont happen." He told himself.
"Hey maybe I can talk to him psychically, I've been so worried I haven't tried it."
"Yugi can you hear me?"
". . ."
"YUGI CAN YOU HEAR ME!"
"Ya. . . mi. . .?"
"Yugi? Why is our connection so bad?"
"I. . . can't he. . . ar. . . you"
"Yugi?"
". . ."
"Nothing, I guess it's his fever blocking me out. He can't think straight."
A little worried, Yami got his glass of water and returned to the couch to try to get some sleep.
*
"This is boring, I wish I had my Game Boy" said Joey as he fell sideways.
Annoyed Tristan said "This shouldn't be boring we are looking after our friend Joey."
"I know" said Joey as he sat back up.
*cough*
Joey and Tristan looked over at Yugi, who seemed to be awake.
"Yugi are ya awake bud?" asked Joey.
Yugi started whimpering and tossing under his covers.
"No Joey, I think he is having another nightmare."
"Should we get Yami?"
"No only in an emergency remember?"
"Ya well lets try to wake him."
"Good idea."
Joey and Tristan went to Yugi's side, and started to gently shake him.
Joey was beginning to get frustrated "It's not workin'."
"Don't you think I know that" said a slightly annoyed Tristan.
Tristan and Joey started arguing. Shaking wouldn't wake Yugi up but their arguing did, maybe because his nightmare was over.
"G. . .uys" said Yugi as he found his voice.
"You're awake!" exclaimed both of them.
Yugi answered them but his voice only came out as a whisper "Yes what're you guys doing?"
"Um nothin'" explained Joey.
"How are you feeling?" said Tristan.
"Better" was all he said.
"That's good Yugi, well since you're up, you should take your medicine" said Tristan as he took of the cap and was about to pour some on a spoon.
". . ."
"Yugi?"
Joey looked down at Yugi, and saw that he was fast asleep.
"He's sleepin' Tristan he can take it tomorrow."
Tristan put the spoon down and replaced the cap. He then noticed that there was only one spoonful left.
"Well tomorrow's spoonful will be his last, it's almost empty."
"I'm sure we can get some more" said Joey, as he took to his sitting on the floor position again.
After awhile Joey and Tristan fell asleep, Yugi wasn't making a sound he was sleeping peacefully for a change.
*
Yami on the other hand wasn't sleeping at all; he thought every little sound in the house was Yugi. The connection problem between them was his main worry.
*
For the first time, in what seemed like forever Yugi was the first to wake up. His head felt a lot clearer and he could actually sit up. He sat up and shifted over so he was in poking distance of Tristan; he nudged him in the elbow.
"Five more minuets mommy" said Tristan as he moved further over.
Yugi just smiled, he lifted the blankets off and attempted to stand.
"I didn't fall!" said Yugi mentally.
He started to walk towards Tristan, when he noticed Joey curled in a ball on the floor. He bent down and shook Joey.
"Doughnuts. . . Pizza" mumbled Joey.
"He even dreams about food" said Yugi as he rolled his eyes.
He tried again, and this time Joey woke up. Joey sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Why does Tristan look like Yugi?" he asked himself mentally.
"Yugi? YUGI WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED!" He yelled forgetting to keep it quiet.
This woke Tristan up.
"Huh what! He looked over and saw Yugi standing up smiling. "Yugi!" Tristan got out of the chair and picked Yugi up and put him back in bed.
"Why are you out of bed Yugi?" asked Joey as he pulled the blanket up and placed it up to Yugi's chin.
"I'm fine really" said Yugi with one of his innocent smiles on his face.
Tristan rested his hand on Yugi's forehead
"Wow your fever is down a lot this morning, but you still have a slight one so you aren't getting out of bed.
"I'm fine really Tristan, *sneeze* you don't have to worry about me" Yugi said as he rubbed his nose.
Joey and Tristan just laughed.
"I'll go wake Yami and the others" said Tristan as he started to leave.
"Wait, you don't have to wake them up on account of me" said Yugi as he sat up again.
"They will want to see how much you've improved, especially Yami he has been really worried about you" after that was said Tristan left.
Joey watched Tristan leave the room, and then he turned his face towards Yugi. Yugi could see concern etched in his tired features.
"You sure you're OK Yug'?" asked Joey breaking the silence.
"Yes I'm fine Joey; you don't have to worry about me."
"If you're sure."
"I'm fine Joey, anyways I was just sick I wasn't dying" stated Yugi.
"You had pneumonia, you could have died."
Before Yugi could answer in his defense, Yami ran into the room, and the first thing he did was slap his hand to Yugi's forehead.
"You are a lot better!" Yami said more to himself than anyone else.
Yugi looked up at his Yami and had on one of his genuine smiles "Yes Yami, I am feeling a lot better this morning."
As Yami looked at his smaller counter-part, it looked as if a huge weight had been lifted from Yami's chest. A pure look of relief washed over his tired features.
Since Yami was speechless, Tea spoke what he was thinking. "Since you're feeling better Yugi, do you want something to eat?"
"Yeah that would be great, I'm starving" said Yugi.
"I should think you would be, you haven't eaten in two days" stated Tristan.
Tea left to go and make Yugi some soup.
"So did anything happen while I was sick?" questioned Yugi to break the silence.
"No not really, but you did get a card. At least that is what we think it is" said Joey.
"Really? Who's it from?" said Yugi eagerly.
"We don't really know, you can look at it when Tea gets back she has it" said Bakura.
"Chicken soup okay Yugi?" asked Tea as she brought it in.
"Yes that's fine" said Yugi, as he started to eat it as if he hadn't eaten in a month.
"Hey Tea, why don't you give Yugi his card" said Yami Bakura.
"Sure" said Tea as she took it out of her pocket.
"Whoa Yug'! The soup isn't going anywhere, take it easy or you're gonna choke" said Joey as he observed the animal that is Yugi devour his soup.
"Too late" said Tea as Yugi started to choke.
Yami walked over to Yugi and patted his back until he stopped choking (And yes it is possible to choke on soup I've done it)
"Thank you" said Yugi as he finished.
Tea cleared is empty bowl, and gave him his glass of water. Yugi immediately started opening his card. While he was doing that Yami glanced over at the almost empty bottle of medicine on the desk. As Yugi began to read what they now know isn't a card but is a letter Yami picked up the medicine and spoon.
Yugi read:
Dear, Yugi-boy
Since you have finished your medicine, and now your health is receding at an alarming rate, you are probably wondering why. As you already know that it isn't medicine Yugi, but it is a form of poison I had especially made for you. You can thank me later; I have the antidote here in my castle if you want it, you have to beat me in a duel. Now since I know you aren't the type to put your friends in danger for personal gain, I'm guessing you are deciding not to come at this moment. But remember what happens to Yami if you die. You have four days to get here and you have a week to live choose wisely.
Pegasus, Maximillion
Yugi didn't say anything he felt fine so this couldn't be true, but what if this was true.
"What is it Yugi?" asked Tristan
Yugi didn't say anything he just stared at the letter thinking "Should I tell them, if I do, then they will take me there right away, but if I don't I could die and then Yami. . . But what if it isn't true then they might get hurt."
Yami didn't waste anytime on pouring the medicine, he then walked over to Yugi.
"Drink it" he ordered.
"No I can't Yami, its not medicine its poison" said Yugi as he backed away from it.
"Not this again, you are still recovering, Yugi you need it" said Yami as he motioned for Tristan and Joey to hold Yugi down.
"But wait Yami what if he is telling the truth" said Joey.
Yami turned around and gave Joey a glare that would send chills down anyone's spine.
Since Joey was momentarily paralyzed Tristan spoke for him.
"It could be Yami, last night when we were watching him when he woke up we sort of forgot to give him his medicine, and now look how much better he is."
Yami didn't say anything he just nodded to Bakura and Yami Bakura, and they held Yugi down.
"No! Please just listen to me!" screamed Yugi as he fought with all him might.
"This is for your own good Yugi. You need to take it to fully recover" said Yami as he shoved the spoon in Yugi's mouth.
Subconsciously Yugi swallowed it, and just as before he began to feel exhausted. But unlike before, his whole body began to burn he started to slip in and out of consciousness immediately, then losing the battle he fell limp in the two Bakura's arms. The letter clutched tightly in his hand.
"See he is still sick" said Yami.
"Hey what's this? Asked Bakura as he took the crumpled letter from Yugi's hand.
Yami walked over and read it first. As soon as he was done he felt guilt, worry and anger wash over him instantly he dropped to his knees in shock.
"What is it?" asked Joey as he read the letter aloud to everyone else in the room.
Everyone was speechless; they didn't know what to say. Yugi had been telling the truth the whole time.
"Why did I make him take it, why didn't I believe him?" sobbed Yami.
Tea rested her hand on his quivering shoulder, and tried to comfort him.
"It's not your fault Yami, you were just doing what you thought was best for him that's all" she said.
While everyone was trying to comfort Yami, Yami Bakura walked over to Yugi and rested his hand on the small teen's forehead.
"He's burning up!"
Yami immediately stopped crying and was at Yugi's side within milliseconds.
"What do we do?" he asked
No one could give him the answer. Joey read over the letter once more.
"Hey Yami what does it mean when it says "remember what happens to Yami when you die" Joey asked when he was done.
"I'll disappear" was all he said.
"Disappear" repeated Bakura.
"Yes it is the same if you die, I'll disappear my soul would be shredded and dispersed in the shadow realm. You and Yugi are the only things keeping us in this world" said Yami Bakura.
"What do we do then?" said Tristan.
"We have to get that antidote" said Tea.
"I really don't know what to do" Yami said as he stroked Yugi's sweat matted hair. "I just don't know."
Well that is it for Chapter 4 sorry it isn't as long as the other were, but I sort of forgot all the things I was gonna do but I remember them for chapter 5 so I'll try to make chapter 5 longer. Thank you for all the reviews and for reading my story!

"I don't know" said Yami.
"I know, maybe it's a get well card for Yugi!" Said Joey.
"Yeah, Joey's right that's what its gotta be" said Tristan.
"We can give it to him when he wakes up" said Tea "That'll make him feel better."
"Well what do you guys want for dinner?" asked Bakura as he started to walk into the kitchen.
One word was said by the one and only "PIZZA!"
"Not again Joey" everyone said at the same time.
"How about spaghetti?" asked Bakura.
"Sure" said Tea and Tristan.
"Sounds great" said Yami.
"It's not Pizza, but I can live with it" said Joey.
"I don't care" said Yami Bakura.
"Then it's settled" Bakura said, as he went into the kitchen to prepare it.
Yami Bakura and Tea went to help him while Yami, Tristan and Joey retreated to the living room for some TV.

Yugi didn't say anything he felt fine so this couldn't be true, but what if this was true.
"What is it Yugi?" asked Tristan
Yugi didn't say anything he just stared at the letter thinking "Should I tell them, if I do, then they will take me there right away, but if I don't I could die and then Yami. . . But what if it isn't true then they might get hurt."
Yami didn't waste anytime on pouring the medicine, he then walked over to Yugi.
"Drink it" he ordered.
"No I can't Yami, its not medicine its poison" said Yugi as he backed away from it.
"Not this again, you are still recovering, Yugi you need it" said Yami as he motioned for Tristan and Joey to hold Yugi down.
"But wait Yami what if he is telling the truth" said Joey.
Yami turned around and gave Joey a glare that would send chills down anyone's spine.
Since Joey was momentarily paralyzed Tristan spoke for him.
"It could be Yami, last night when we were watching him when he woke up we sort of forgot to give him his medicine, and now look how much better he is."
Yami didn't say anything he just nodded to Bakura and Yami Bakura, and they held Yugi down.
"No! Please just listen to me!" screamed Yugi as he fought with all him might.
"This is for your own good Yugi. You need to take it to fully recover" said Yami as he shoved the spoon in Yugi's mouth.
Subconsciously Yugi swallowed it, and just as before he began to feel exhausted. But unlike before, his whole body began to burn he started to slip in and out of consciousness immediately, then losing the battle he fell limp in the two Bakura's arms. The letter clutched tightly in his hand.
"See he is still sick" said Yami.
"Hey what's this? Asked Bakura as he took the crumpled letter from Yugi's hand.
Yami walked over and read it first. As soon as he was done he felt guilt, worry and anger wash over him instantly he dropped to his knees in shock.
"What is it?" asked Joey as he read the letter aloud to everyone else in the room.
Everyone was speechless; they didn't know what to say. Yugi had been telling the truth the whole time.
"Why did I make him take it, why didn't I believe him?" sobbed Yami.
Tea rested her hand on his quivering shoulder, and tried to comfort him.
"It's not your fault Yami, you were just doing what you thought was best for him that's all" she said.
While everyone was trying to comfort Yami, Yami Bakura walked over to Yugi and rested his hand on the small teen's forehead.
"He's burning up!"
Yami immediately stopped crying and was at Yugi's side within milliseconds.
"What do we do?" he asked
No one could give him the answer. Joey read over the letter once more.
"Hey Yami what does it mean when it says "remember what happens to Yami when you die" Joey asked when he was done.
"I'll disappear" was all he said.
"Disappear" repeated Bakura.
"Yes it is the same if you die, I'll disappear my soul would be shredded and dispersed in the shadow realm. You and Yugi are the only things keeping us in this world" said Yami Bakura.
"What do we do then?" said Tristan.
"We have to get that antidote" said Tea.
"I really don't know what to do" Yami said as he stroked Yugi's sweat matted hair. "I just don't know."
