Chapter 2- What a feeling
Joey shut his eyes once more.
"I've never thought about is this way before. We've been through a good deal with Kaiba. Yugi's grandfather's soul bring taken and Mokuba's. Then the Pegasus duels. Kaiba being taken. Then we saved him or Yugi did. Then being trapped in that game and saving him. It's more than I realized.he may be a jerk but this is not fair!" The blonde took a breath suddenly feeling a need to avenge Kaiba.
'He may not be the best friend.did I just call him a..Friend?'
Joey looked at Kaiba lying in the bed looking so helpless. Kaiba was never helpless or weak. It almost amazed him to see Kaiba was actually human. Kaiba was showing weakness and mortality. It slightly frightened Joey. Kaiba could die. And in Joey's mind it was his fault and there was no more to it than that. If he hadn't started fighting with Kaiba this wouldn't have happened. The blonde clenched a fist looking at Kaiba hearing the steady beep of the machines around the room.
'Why is this so hard to watch? I mean yes it's my fault but..something else seems wrong. I can't place it. He's in so much pain..and god only knows what else he may be feeling. He has to hate me. I mean he did save me and ended up getting hit because of me. I feel something beyond that though.like I feel this sharp pain..but what is it? It's not from being hit or physically hurt but something else but..it couldn't be Kaiba could it? I feel guilty like I should be the one in that bed but why this feeling?'
Joey blinked.
"What am I thinking? Here I am talking to myself I must be going crazy.."
Joey shook his head trying to ride himself of his previous thoughts of at least some of them. So many unanswered questions.
Joey sighed leaning back in the seat letting his head fall back resting the back of his head on the top of the back of the chair looking at the ceiling thinking staring up blankly. For the time all he could do is wait.
Meanwhile word spread about the accident. No one really knew what had happened totally to the CEO. They knew he was hit and brought to the hospital. Reporters mobbed the outside of the hospital demanding to see the fallen brunette.
Yugi ended up watching the news while flipping through the channels boredly. He stopped half listening in the beginning.
"Would is that since the accident..Mister Seto Kaiba was sent to a local hospital for treatment. No one has been able to receive access to his room to see the CEO but the outside is flooded with reporters." Said the news anchor.
Yugi blinked dropping the channel changer eyes wide.
"Kaiba.." he whispered quietly.
Yami happened to notice this and looked at his Hikari.
"What is it Aibou?" Yami asked walking into the room glancing at the television.
Yugi looked at Yami shaking slightly "K-kaiba.was in an accident."
Yami blinked "What?.that terrible."
They weren't friends with Kaiba not really but still him being in an accident was a harsh thing to happen to him.
Yami looked at Yugi thinking "Why would Kaiba be in an accident? I thought he would pay attention.."
Yugi turned as ghastly pale eyes wide with fear held within them.
"I.It might be my fault.." Yugi muttered.
Yami looked puzzled looking at him.
"What do you mean Yugi?" Yami asked obviously clueless to what his Hikari meant.
Yugi sighed "Well..you see." Yugi took a deep breath. "Kaiba confessed that he loved me but I don't feel the same way. I told him that I upset him and he ran off..I think it might be my fault that this happened to him." Yugi said looking at his feet the entire time feeling shamed for what he had done.
Yami blinked in disbelief. "Yugi."
Yugi didn't lift his eyes from the floor to look up at his darker side. Yami looked at him and sighed.
"It's not your fault. It was an accident. No one wanted or meant for it to happen.."
Yugi clenched a small fist angry with himself "No It was my fault! I shouldn't have said what I said!"
Yami was taken attack by the tone. "Y-Yugi?..what did you say that was so horrible?"
Yugi stopped to thinking about it. Yami watched him "I'm sure it wasn't what you said Yugi.. rejection is hard for anyone."
Yugi nodded weakly. Yami looked at him "Let's go see him shall we?"
Yugi nodded again still pale. Yami brought Yugi to the hospital. They had to fight through dozens of reporters asking if they knew Kaiba. Yami gave an annoyed 'No comment." That seemed to make things only worse they tried to stop them now begging for statements and interviews. Yami growled knocking a camera out of one man's hands.
"Stick another one in my face and you'll be sorry.." Yami snarled. Some backed off and Yami taking the chance rushed inside with Yugi.
Yami cursed under his breath and Yugi looked around. Yugi walked up asking about Kaiba.
"Only family and friends at the time sir." Said the nurse.
Yugi nodded "I'm a friend."
The nurse nodded directing them in the direction of Kaiba's room. Yami followed Yugi wondering how this all happened. Yugi stopped short of the room hearing something.
"What is it?" Asked Yami stopping as well looking at his light oddly.
Yugi looked at him "Hear that?"
Yami listened and nodded "Yes it sounds like someone crying.."
Yugi nodded "it's coming from the room the nurse said Kaiba was in."
Yami nodded "I wonder..maybe it's Mokuba's."
Yugi nodded "It probably is. Poor Mokuba..he's taking this really hard I'm sure."
Yami nodded glancing at the door seeing it was open. Yugi started walking again toward the room. They both walked in amazed to seeing Joey sitting in the chair beside the bed holding on of Kaiba's hands crying head hung hair covering his eyes not even hearing them. Yami blinked and looked at Yugi who seemed equally surprised.
"J-Joey?" Asked Yugi walking over.
The blonde raised his head slightly not turning around to look at them.
"Yugi?" He asked.
"Yes it's me Joey. What are you doing here?"
Joey sighed and wiped his cheeks. "Well you see..Kaiba is here because of me."
Yugi blinked confused. Yami seemed to be more lost than he had been when he listening to Yugi.
"What do you mean Joey?" Asked Yami slightly worried about his light and his own friend.
Joey sighed "Kaiba bumped into me and I stopped him to talk to him. We ended up fighting. Somehow we were in the road I was on top of him while we were fighting." Joey took a deep breath at this point, "..and he kicked me off to the sidewalk and he got hit. It's my fault Yugi..it's my fault." Joey cried again silently still holding one of Kaiba's hands lightly.
Yugi blinked "Joey."
Yami watched worriedly.
"Joey..he's going to be fine. It was an accident." Said Yugi walking over to his friend putting a hand on Joey's shoulder. Joey glanced at him.
"Yug." he said quietly.
Yami looked at Kaiba "Poor boy.." he glanced at Joey after "I feel bad for them both.." He said quietly to himself.
Joey sighed and wiped at his tears again. "Thanks Yugi.."
Yugi nodded with a small weak sad smile. "Don't mention it Joey."
Joey nodded and took a deep breath letting go of Kaiba's hand looking at the brunette.
"I'm still sorry Kaiba..if you can hear me I'm so sorry." Joey said quietly. 'Yeah..he can't hear you Joey.' The blonde thought to himself.
Yugi looked at Kiaba thinking how horrible all this was for it to happen to him. Yami sighed knowing this was eating away at his light and at his good friend. He wished there was something he could do but nothing seemed to come to mind. He'd have to think on it for a while. Maybe there was something he could do. There just had to be something even if it wasn't that large there was something small he could do he was sure of it but what.
