Can it be? Yes it was. It was the moment of truth. Now this is the moment that changed everything; for Yami, for everyone.

Yugi's closed eyes began to twitch, a sound came out of him and his left eye began to open, then the other eye. He reached for something, and then for some reason he began coughing. He looked around, but his eyes didn't seem to open up all the way.

"W-where am I?" He asked, putting his hand on his head. He groaned, "Ahh, my head hurts," he said, with one eye closed.

"Yugi?" Yami said, "Yugi, are you all right?"

"Yami?" He searched for him with his hand. "Where am I?"

"You're in the hospital, you have pneumonia," Yami answered.

"What? Pnemonia?" Yugi finally found Yami's hand and held it tight. "You mean, will I, will I," He couldn't find the right words to say.

"No Yugi, you won't. You'll be okay."

"That's good," Yugi said. "But my head really hurts---"

He collapsed again, only this time backwards. Is he really doing well or was it a mistake?

Just then, the doctor came in and said, "Ah, you're here. Did Yugi wake up yet?"

"He did, but he fainted again."

"Oh dear, it looks like we might need to keep him in a little longer."

"He just has a headache, can't you just give him some medicine?" Yami asked, agitated.

"Maybe that can be arranged," the doctor said, grabbing a piece of paper and a pen. "Here you go, sir."

"Thanks," Yami said.

Suddenly, Yugi woke up again, feeling dizzy. He tried to say something, but he wasn't looking too good. The doctor noticed this, and he immediately called the nurse.

When the nurse came, they rushed him to the intensive care unit and Yami ran behind them, following their every step.

He closed his eyes tight for a moment and prayed that Yugi will overcome this disease and the horror would be over.

As soon as they reached the special room, the doctor and nurse did a series of tests on Yugi and Yami averted his vision. Yugi still didn't move; even if a person held him up he'd still fall back.

After what seemed like the eighth test, Yugi actually seemed like he was breathing again. His eyes slowly opened, and he didn't feel as sick as he had been for the last two days. Everybody looked to his direction, and Yami was no longer averting his gaze.

The doctor signalled for Yami to come to Yugi, and Yugi was fully awake and not falling back from dizziness.

Yugi's eyes began to shine like evening stars as he felt like himself again. He felt like he could fly, and now he was better than ever.

"I guess that now you don't have a headache anymore, Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Nope." Yugi smiled. "I feel like I can do anything."

Yami found the prescription, crumpled it up and threw it in the garbage now that it had no use.

"Well, now that you're all better," the doctor said, "you can go home to your family. I believe that they'll be glad that you are healthy again."

"Yeah!"

The doctor and the nurse left the two of them alone.

"Yami?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks for being right here for me," Yugi hugged Yami. "I'll probably never forget you now."

Yami kissed Yugi's cheek and said, "And I will never forget you in any epoch of my life."

"And thanks for this gift," Yugi opened his hand and the magnolia was still there. "You really mean a lot to me. Thanks for everything."

Yugi pulled Yami from his current position and gave him a heart-stopping kiss. He circled his arms around Yami's neck, and without thinking Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist and pulled him closer.

"Thank you, Ra," Yami thought, directing it towards the heavens. This had truly been the best day of both of their lives.
