Yami: Yugi had better come out of this alright, or ELSE!
Kanatasha: Don't worry. As long as you stay on my good side, this story will have a happy ending. If not! *Death March plays in the background.* Got it!
Yami: Got it!
Kanatasha: *smirks.* Good! Well as promised here is the next chapter. Oh and I love Yugi and Kurt so :p This is not a Yugi/Yami Yaoi. It is just plain brotherly love. *Whispers to raven* "And don't worry! Yugi WILL come out of this ok. I just LOVE to see Yami squirm! He is such an easy target! Ohhhhhh! I'm such a bad authoress!"
DISCLAIMER: NO OWN YUGIOH!
(I re-wrote this chapter cause there were a few things about it I didn't like. I wouldn't go well with the next chapter. sorry for the confusion. Please review if you haven't already, and review again if you have.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yugi!" Yami called out for the fifth time at his sleeping hikari. "Yugi! It's time to get up! It's nearly 11:00! Your waisting the entire day!" Yami shook his head as he watched Yugi lazily roll over. "I no wanna get up!" Yugi protested looking up at Yami. "Tired!" Flopping back down, Yugi fell back to sleep. Rolling his eyes, Yami sighed as he walked over to the foot of the bed. "I really hate doing this but......" Taking the edge of the matress, Yami flipped Yugi off of his bed and onto the floor. Looking around confused, Yugi didn't know what the hell was going on. His face was a mixture of shock and fear. "Whaaaa!" His gaze finally fell on Yami who was standing over him smirking. "It's about time you got up lazy-bone! You've been sleeping more and more Yugi. I can't see as to why your tired." Yugi stood up, stiffling a yawn. "Well....I am. I don't know why. I don't feel.....ACHOO! sick!" "Bless you." Yami stated. "Well I sure hope your not. I care for you dearly aibou. Your kind and warm-hearted. But when your sick, your a entirely different person." Yami thought back to last year when Yugi had gotten the flu. He shuddered remembering Yugi and his temper tantrums. Yugi glared up at Yami, throwing his pillow at him. "I'm not THAT bad!" "That's your opinion!" Yami stated as he dodged the pillow. Yugi's response to that was sticking his tongue out. "Well come on. Get dressed so we can go." Yugi looked up at Yami puzzled. "Where are we going? It's Sunday. Isn't?" Yami nodded, sighing rolling his eyes. It figured Yugi would of forgotten. He had also become more absent-minded lately as well. Yami knew he shouldn't have any concern, yet deep down he had this uneasy feeling. He shook his head, brushing away the feeling. ^I'm probally just being paranoid again! I promised Yugi I'd lay off the protector bit just a little. And here I am worryed about him over sleeping! Aibou is right. I am a worry-wart!^ "Don't you remember? Tristen asked us to meet him at the mall at 1 o'clock this afternoon." Yugi jumped up as he made a beeline for his closet. "Oh my gosh! I completly forgot!!!" Rumaging through the closet, Yugi picked out his outfit. A faded pair of denim jeans, red t-shirt and white tennis shoes. As he put on his shirt, he turned to Yami. "I wonder why Tristen wants to see us." Yami shook his head shrugging. "Beats me. Guess that's why he said it was extremely important that we meet him at the mall today." "Gee, I hope nothing is wrong." Yugi stated a little worried. "It's probally nothing. But let's hurry so we're not extremly late."
Fifteen minutes later, and five minutes late, Yugi and Yami strolled into the food court of the Domino Mecha Mall. There they found their friends, Tristen, Téa and Joey sitting near the water fountain. Tristen and Téa were laughing hysterically as Joey shoved fries up his nose and ears and began squawking crazily.
/What the hell!/
//It's best not to ask or know!//
/Sometimes I wonder./
//You wonder, I worry.//
Strolling over, Yugi waved to their friends. "Hey guys! Sorry we're late!" The trio looked up smiling. "Well that's nothing new with you Yugi." Tristen. "Your always late!" "Sorry." Yugi stated blushing. "I kind of over-slept today." "Again?" Téa asked concerned. "Yugi, I don't think it's natural to be sleeping that much." Smiling, Yugi shrugged. "I really don't think there's anything to worry about." Téa looked at her friend unsure. Sighing she shook her head and took a sip from her double mocha chocolate chip milk shake. "Hey Yami!" Joey replied happily removing the fries from his nose and ears. "Bet your wondering why I got dese things in my ears n nose." Yami raised an eyebrow trying to not look interested. "It never crossed my mind."
//LIAR!//
/Shhhhh! Like you said! It's best not to ask or know!/
"Well ya see, I kind of lost a bet against Tristen." "Joey!" Yugi protested glancing at his friend. "Hey it was just a fun wager." Joey protested back. "So what was the bet?" Yami asked curiosity getting the better of him. "Well," Joey stated glancing at Tristen. As if on cue, Tristen took over telling them about the bet. "Joey here and I bet that whoever drew the weakest monster card, he would have to do something idiotically and embarrasing. Joey lost so that's why he had fries where they don't belong." Yugi rolled his eyes sighing. "You guys! Oh hey!" He replied suddenly remembering why they were there. "Tristen, you said you had something real important to tell us?" Four pairs of eyes turned, putting their attention on Tristen. Tristen sighed heavily, looking down at the table sadly. "Yeah I do. I'm moving at the end of the semester." Everyone gasped back at the statement. "Moving?!?" Joey asked bewildered. Tristen nodded glumly. "Yeah. Family is moving to America. Dad got a promotion that he can't turn down. So were moving at the end of the semester." The group looked down in a gloomy matter. "I can't believe your going to be leaving us!" Téa stated near the brink of tears. Everyone else just nodded in agreement. "I know. But it's not like it's going to be forever. I'll come back and visit. And besides, we're friends until the end no matter what right?" Joey, Téa, Yugi and Yami looked up at Tristen, smiling. "Your right." Yugi stated. "No matter what." Pounding his fist on the table, Joey looked at the group in determination. "Well? What are we waiting for? Let's have some fun! I want the remaining time I have with my best bud to be good ones!" Tristen sighed, looking at his friend. Joey was the one he was going to miss the most. "Good idea Joey." Tristen replied cracking a smile. Nodding in agreement, everyone agreed not to be gloomy until the day Tristen left. "ORDER 2265!" A voice rang out throughout the food court. "Oh! That's us!" Téa replied. "Hope you two dont' mind but we ordered pizza." Yugi smiled sheepishly as he felt his stomach rumble. "No. No problem at all." Yami stated. "I'll get the food!" Yugi exclaimed getting up from his seat. As he rose, a sudden wave a nausia swept over him. Teetering a bit, Yugi grabed onto the edge of the table to steedy him. Shaking his head, he slowly walked away from the table. Hoping no one had seen him. Yami however had seen him and called out through their mental link.
/Aibou!/
//Don't worry Yami. I'm fine. Just getting tired again.//
/Maybe we should go home..../
//Please no! I want to stay! I'm fine! Don't worry so much okay!//
Yami sighed frustrated as he watched his hikari walk away from the group. ^Why can't I get rid of this feeling? I shouldn't be too worried! He's probally coming down with the flu again.^ Shaking his head, Yami turned his attention back to his friends. "Hey Yami." Joey asked concerned. "Is everything alright?" "Everything is fine Joey." Yami replied.
The group jumped as a sudden crash echoed through out the mall. "What the heck?" Tristen asked trying to pinpoint the origin of the sound. "Ooooh!" Joey stated, smirking. "Sounds like someone is gonna get in trouble! 10 to 1 on of dem pizza boys dropped the pie plate!" Frowning, Yami glanced over to the food booths. There a small group was huddled in a circle. A quick sense of pain and fear swept through Yami, taking his breath. He gasped, cluthing his chest, eyes widden. "AIBOU!" He yelled out leaping from his chair. Rushing over, Yami murmered to himself quietly. ^Oh please! Oh please! Oh please!^ Pushing past the on-lookers, Yami squeezed his way to the center of the circle. His eyes widened at the sight before him. Yugi layed curled up in a ball on the floor. He was cringing in extreme pain and crying. Rushing to his side, Yami knelt down on his knees. Picking Yugi up, he gentle turned him over to face him.
/AIBOU! What happened?!?/
Yugi looked up at Yami, he's eyes pleading. "Yami...." he stated just above a whisper, gasping. "It hurts Yami!......It hurts so bad!" Fear began to rise in Yami as Yugi began wheezing and having a coughing fit. "Yami........"
/Quiet Aibou! don't talk! I'm here!/
//help me!//
Bringing Yugi closer to him, Yami gentle rocked back and forth, eyes widen in fear breathing heavily. "I'll never let anything bad happen to you!" He whispered in Yugi's ear. Yami looked around at the on-lookers, glaring. ^Why in the hell are they just standing there???!! Can't they see that my hikari is in pain?^ Yami's anger rose as he heard several people protest as more forced their way into the crowd. His glare softened as he noticed Tristen, Joey and Téa make their way to the front. "Oh my god!" Téa yelled, rushing over. "YUGI! Someone call a doctor!" Tristen stood there stunned for a few seconds before responding. "Right! I'm on it." Yami looked up at Téa thankfully. "Hey bud! Get the hell out of the way! I wanna see if the kid croaks or not!" Snapping his head up to the crowd, Yami glared hatefully. He's eyes searched everyone trying to find the scum who didn't give a damn about another beings life. "Shuddup! Moron! That's my pal!" He's eyes stopped on Joey who had just delivered a punch to the guy who had called out seconds before. Joey looked down at the guy glaring. For good measurements, he kicked the guy in the gut. Yami couldn't help but smirk. Joey looked over and gave Yami the thumbs up signal.
//YAMI!!!!!!//
Yami quickly turned his attention back to Yugi. Yugi eyes were barely open and he's breathing was become more laborate.
//I'm.........I'm...I'm scared!//
/Be quiet! I'm here to protect you!/
His eyes widened as he watched Yugi slowly close his eyes falling unconscience. "Aibou?!? Aibou??"
/AIBOU!/
Yami's fear rose even higher as he noticed a small trickle of red escape from Yugi's mouth. "BLOOD?!?!? YUGI!!!!!!"
At the hospital, everyone waited impatiently from news from the doctor. Yugi's grandfather, Sugrokou Motou was pacing back and forth mumbling underneath his breath. Téa sat in a chair, her head in her hands, sobbing. Tristen and Joey sat on either side of her, trying to comfort her. Yami was leaning against the wall his eyes filled with confusion and fear. ^What is going on? How could I not sense this happening?!?? I'm his protector!^
Thirty minutes later, a doctor appeared. "Excuse me? Mr. Motou?" The group quickly stood up and formed a circle around the doctor. "Is my grandson going to be alright?" Sugrokou asked pleading. The doctor looked at everyone, he's eyes showing no emotions. "I sorry but I can not give you a yes or no answer. We are unsure ourselves IF your grandson will pull through. We'd like to keep him overnight for test and observations." "What are you looking for in the test, doctor? Will he be alright?" Téa blurted out. " I mean you do have a cure for whatever is wrong with him, don't you?" The doctor sighed frustrated. "Depends on how the test results come back. If it comes back in the red, then yes. But if it is in the blue then I'm afraid he may be dying." Yami suddenly felt the life drain away from him. He stood there, eyes wide, glazing barely taking in the words of the doctor. "He may be dying." ^no......it can't be! Not him! How could this of happen?^ Everyone else around him was in the same state of shock. "Will you know what caused my grandson to be come violently sick?" Sugrokou finally asked, breaking the silence. "We'll have to wait until the test results come back. For now, why don't you go see your grandson. He needs all the support he can get in this. Again I am truly sorry. Do not stay too long though. He needs his rest." "Thank you doctor!" The group slowly made their way into Yugi's room. Yugi layed in the hospital bed, wires hooked up to his arms and IV's in his viens. He slept peacefully. His face looked calm and relaxed. There was an acquard stillness in the room as everyone gathered around the bed. "I can't believe this is happening!" Téa blurted out gripping the edge of the bed. "It just isn't fair! What has Yugi done to deserve this?!?" Tears strolled down her cheeks as she looked up at her friend laying comfortably in the bed. Tristen put a arm around her and carefully steered her out of the room. Joey followed them quickly behind. "Get out of dis alright Yug!" He responded as he closed the door behind him. Sugrokou slumped down in the chair in despair. "I don't get it. Yugi has always been healthy. There's no reason for him to be this sick. What is going on?" He looked up at Yami with pleading eyes. "I'm not sure." Yami stated, the frustration could be heard from his voice. "But I promise you this. I WILL find out. and I WILL save Yugi!" Surgokou smiled gently, looking slightly up at Yami. "You truly do care for my grandson don't you?" Yami nodded. "Yes I do. He and I are apart of each other. He is the light while I am the dark. We can not co-exist without the other one. He is my life, my light, my partner, my friend, my brother. That is why it pains me so much to see him in this condition." Yami looked up at Yugi the frustration showing on his face. "I swore to always protect him from any harm that would come to him. I'm failing him miserably!!" "You are not failing him." Surgokou responded looking up at Yami. "We all wish for complete protection against the ones we care about but that just isn't possible. There are some things that can not be helped. This is one of them. You are doing a terrific job Yami. Never tell yourself any different. And you are doing something more important to Yugi then just protecting him." "What is that?" Yami asked questionally. "You are being his friend." Yami looked over at the old man smiling warmly. "Thank you." Surgokou and Yami sat by either side of Yugi's bedside hoping for a miracle that he would come out of this safely.
/I'll always protect you./
