Chapter-Five The Decision
It has been two hours since Yugi's fever relapsed; Tea was busying herself in the kitchen making the gang hot chocolate, Tristan, Joey, Bakura and his Yami were playing poker to take their minds off the recent events. Yami was where he had been for the last two hours, right at Yugi's beside.
"He's been in there for nearly two hours" Tea announced as she came in the room with six steaming cups of cocoa.
"He thinks it's his fault that all this happened, he's taking this pretty hard" said Yami Bakura, as he put down his cards that turned out to be a royal flush.
"How do you do that?" yelled Joey as he took a look at his friend's darker side's cards, as he put down his cards, which turned out to be junk.
"Talent" was the only response he got.
"Talent? You were cheating!"
Yami Bakura was taken aback by Joey's obviously wrong conclusion "I most certainly was not; it's not my fault that you suck at poker!"
The Darker Bakura and Joey erupted into a seemingly pointless argument.
"Calm down guys it was a just a game, you'll win next time" said Bakura in an attempt to calm Joey down.
"Win? Nice try Bakura, he'll never win he probably doesn't even understand the game!" explained a very confident Yami Bakura, as Joey lunged at his throat.
Tristan caught him "Calm down Joey, it is just a game you are probably just worked up because of Yugi."
Everyone stopped talking and listened to the horrible sound coming from Yugi's room.
"Is that Yugi?" asked Tea.
They could hear Yugi coughing from the living room almost as clearly as if he was in the room with them. It sounded harsh and painful. They all got up and started towards Yugi's room. Bakura was the first one there and as he opened the door Yugi let another awful cough escape his chapped lips. They all winced; it hurt just to hear it! As they entered the dark room, they instantly felt horrible; sickness was thick in the air and seeing their once cheery small friend deathly pale on his bed brought tears to their eyes. At first it was too dark to see, but eventually they found Yami sitting next to Yugi his hand holding on to his lighter half's. Yami looked terrible; his face was so worn with exhaustion it made him look decades older, he was almost as pale as Yugi.
"Yami?" came Tea's cautious voice, as she placed a caring hand on the Yami's shoulder.
Yami immediately flinched at her soft touch, his tear stained face turned towards her freshly tear streaked cheeks.
Tea immediately threw her arms around his neck, and embraced him in her warm hug.
"It's not your fault" she said as she began to sob.
Yami just sat there in silence not moving, or as it seemed not even breathing. Tea realized this and quickly pulled away; she wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her shirt, and stared at Yami. His eyes were looking at her, but it seemed as though he was looking right through her.
"Yami?" she asked in an attempt to get him to respond
". . ."
"Yami?" Joey asked, as he walked over to see what was wrong.
". . ." still nothing.
"Maybe he's in a trance" said Tristan.
"What's wrong with him? He just looks dead" said Tea as she sunk to the floor.
Yami Bakura snapped his fingers in front of the other Yami's face.
Nothing.
"Try shaking him" added Bakura.
Yami Bakura did as he was told, although Bakura didn't think he had to do it quite that hard. Yami Bakura shook with all his might but the other Yami refused to respond.
Yami Bakura was now getting frustrated, he thought with a grin on his face if force didn't work he would get to him mentally.
"Yeah Yami you are right, it is all your fault" he practically yelled into Yami's ear.
"What are you talking about?" Tea screamed.
Yami Bakura just ignored her and continued with his, what seemed like taunting "Now because of you Yugi is going to die!"
This last remark seemed to hit Yami hard, you could actually see his heart break on the expression on his face. Totally unprepared for the look on the other Yami's face Yami Bakura just stood in silence looking at the floor, it almost seemed as if he was sorry for what he said.
Fresh tears were threatening to stream down Yami's face. Yami was trying to hold them back in a desperate attempt but to no avail, they came anyway. They all sat in silence; no one was making a single sound accept the occasional sob from Joey. It even looked as though Yami Bakura had shed a few tears.
Tea was the first one to speak "Yami I . . . I think you should get some sleep you are going to make yourself seriously ill."
"What do you mean? You mean like how I made Yugi sick?" he said his crimson eyes facing her ocean blue ones.
"What? You, you didn't do it. It's not your fault, how were you supposed to know this would happen?"
"Easy" was all he said in response.
"How!" Tea said standing up, she seemed angry at Yami.
"He told me."
"You said it yourself, it seemed like the fever was talking this could of happened to anyone" her voice shaking slightly.
*Coughing*
Their argument stopped abruptly, and they all looked at Yugi, he seemed to be having trouble breathing as he let those painful coughs rip through his chest.
The last thing they were expecting happened, Yugi managed to open his eyes.
"Y . . . ami its *cough* N . . . ot your fault" he managed to get out.
"Yugi!" Yami said as he broke the speed of light, and was at Yugi's side in a flash.
"You shouldn't be talking or even awake!"
Yugi just smiled, the rest of his friends gathered around his bed.
"Hey how ya feelin' Yug?" asked Joey.
Yugi didn't respond, he just nodded his head slightly and his eye lids began to droop.
"You need to sleep Yugi, you are still very sick" said Yami as he re- adjusted the blankets.
Yugi didn't say anything he just closed is eyes and was asleep instantly. They all just stared at Yugi breathe in and out. Tristan was the first one to speak.
"We should go in the living room and talk about what we are going to do" he proposed.
"Yeah, I agree wit ya" said Joey as he followed Tristan out of the room.
Yami Bakura and Bakura followed, while Tea led Yami out.
*
"We have to get that antidote" said Joey.
"How do you propose we do that?" sneered Yami Bakura.
"Well . . . I don't know. But we should at least take him to a hospital."
"Oh ya that's an idea, and when they ask us what happened, we will tell them he was poisoned!" yelled Yami Bakura.
"You don't care about Yugi at all!" screamed Joey as he lunged at Yami Bakura for the second time in one day.
Yami Bakura tried to block the on coming Joey but missed, and his face was met by a tightly balled fist. He fell backwards and slammed into the kitchen door. Bakura immediately rushed over to help his darker half up.
"Are you OK?" asked Tea.
"I'm. . . Fine!" Yami Bakura said as he got up quickly.
Joey just stood there staring at his fist in disbelief, Yami Bakura wasted no time in returning the favor, Joey was soon sprawled out on the floor clutching his cheek. Tea stood in between them.
"Stop it! You guys are friends, why are you fighting?"
"He started it" Yami Bakura said, as he tried to advance on Joey once more.
Tristan was next to step in "Look we are all a little high strung because of Yugi, but that doesn't mean that we have to fight."
"He's right, I'm sorry 'ami Bakura" said Joey as he got up.
The sound of Yugi's coughs made all of them visibly flinch, Yami wasted no time; he was at Yugi's side with water in a flash.
"Here drink this Yugi, it will help your cough" and then upon seeing Yugi's worried face he quickly added "and don't worry its just water" as he held the cup to his lighter half's lips.
Yugi drank the water in two gulps "Thanks and don't worry Yami I trust you, it wasn't your fault."
Yami just sat in silence staring at the floor.
"Really it wasn't your fault, see I'm fine *cough* and since I can't let Pegasus put your existence in danger, I'm going to face him."
At first Yami thought Yugi was joking, and then he quickly looked up and into Yugi's determined eyes. They were serious.
"What? No you can't you're sick, Yugi it would be too dangerous."
"I know that, but if I don't try we're both finished. I'm leaving tomorrow you either come or you don't."
Yami didn't know what to say it was hard to argue with him, he turned to think and saw the rest of their friends eagerly listening in the door way.
"Whatever happens. . . We're with ya Yug'" said Joey as he entered the room.
"Ya Joey's right, and since this seems the only way we're with you 100%" said Tristan.
"Just be careful Yugi" said Tea.
"Thanks guys" said Yugi as his eyes began to droop.
"Well if we're going tomorrow, I suggest that you get some sleep Yugi" Yami said as he pulled the covers up to Yugi's chin.
Yugi was asleep before anyone could blink; Yami turned and exited the room his friends followed.
*
Yami flopped down on the couch "What are we going to do? He's too sick."
"We're just going to have to go with him, and make sure he's OK, I don't think there is anything else we can do" said Bakura as he joined Yami on the couch.
"Yeah, and once we get that antidote everything will be aright" said Joey as he stationed himself on the chair.
"Well we've got to be there in three days, so we should make sure we have everything" said Tea.
So during the night they went around the house making sure they had everything they would need for the trip the next day.
And that's the end of Chapter 5 sorry it took so long more than a month! I'll try to get the other ones out faster its just hard I keep forgetting what to do in it and other things just keep coming up.
