Yami woke in the morning to a pain in his lower back area. He slowly sat up and discovered that sleeping in a chair hunched over isn't the best way to sleep. Yami yawned and looked around, a little confused that this wasn't the room that he and Yugi shared at Seto's house.
It took Yami a short while to realize that this was the hospital and he was here for Yugi. Yami's eyes cast downward to the sight of his small motionless Hikari. Yami smother out his hair and took a deep breath, this body seemed emotionally drained as well and physically. Yami smiled down at his small light and brushed the hair out of his face.
He heard the door open but his head didn't move up to see who it was; he knew that it was either a nurse or Seto. Joey had to be at school, Yami had learned that Seto didn't go to school when he didn't feel like it. He was smarter then most of the people the in school including most of the teachers already.
"Hello, Yami how is he today?" It was Seto's voice. Yami didn't answer; he was exhausted and didn't think he could manage full words without crying.
Seto understood and didn't pry on Yami's emotions. He walked over to Yugi's bed and sat down on the edge of the small boys' oversized bed. He noticed how Yami looked as he did so and gasped.
"Yami, you look like shit did you eat anything or sleep at lass yesterday?" Seto asked with a hint of concern in his voice.
"No," was all Yami could manage out, tears pricked at his eyes as he turned his gaze back to the small figure on the bed.
"Yami, you have to eat, we can't have you in the hospital next, I'll bring something by and you better eat it," Seto said as he left the room to go down to the cafeteria.
Yami didn't acknowledge Seto when he came back in nor did he the food Seto set on the table beside Yugi's bed. Seto Gave Yami a comforting pat on the back before he left the room.
The rest of the day Yami went in and out of restless sleep but never slept for longer then an hour. Yami never left Yugi's side and he started to look worse and worse. Throughout the day Yami was talking to Yugi, urging him to wake up, telling him how much he meant to him and things like that. Eventually the day ended and he fell into a very restless sleep.
When Yami woke the next day he felt like crap and once again his back was bothering him.
Yami looked to the clock and saw that it was almost three! 'How could I have slept for so long and still feel like shit?' Yami asked himself as he took the TV controller in Yugi room and turned the TV on. He then sat down next to you on the bed, his hand absently stroking the boys' soft tangled hair.
Yami watched the show that came on, not knowing how to change the channel. It happened to be a soap opera, General Hospital to be exact. The show kind of reminded him of his situation at the moment. One of the guys, a mobster, had been shot protecting a woman that eh knew. And now his wife, lover, or what ever she was, was watching over him while he was in the hospital.
Yami, finding this ironic, decided to tell Yugi about this by talking to him.
"Yugi, this guy is so much worse off then you are, he was shot like ten times but he is still alive, and personally, don't tell him this, but I think you are stronger so not only are you going to open your eyes to laugh at him you are going to be out of this hospital before, and if he even wakes up!" Yami exclaimed managing to laugh at his own stupidity.
Yami hadn't noticed Seto walking into the room and watching with amusement as Yami relayed everything that happened on the soap to Yugi.
"Yami, interesting, you do know that mostly women watch this show," Seto said just trying to tease Yami. Yami was surprised by Seto's entrance and almost fell off the bed, luckily he regained his balance or he might have taking Yugi off the bed with him.
"You shouldn't try and give thousand year old pharaohs heart attacks Seto Kaiba," Yami said, one hand over his chest.
"Sorry, so how is our little hero this morning?" Seto asked in high spirits.
"Good, why are you so happy?" Yami asked, it was a bit odd that Yugi was in the hospital and Seto was practically jumping for joy.
"Well you see Yugi's parents are going away fro a long time without a trial, they were screwed. I think they were hoping for, what's the word, oh yea mercy, try NO!" Seto said, if Yami didn't know that Seto was underage he would have thought he was drunk!
"Calm down Seto, that's nice that they are going away and won't be able to hurt Yugi any more but I think this new form of punishment is too lenient, really, in the past we got to send their souls to the shadow realm, a fate far worse then death," Yami said, shaking his head.
"That's not all, I also talked to Yugi's doctor, and he said that Yugi will almost absolutely wake up today!" Seto said smiling. Yami smiled at his as well, he was happy that his little light would wake and he would be able to see his smiling face again.
"I already is awake," Yugi mumbled softly and weakly. Yami turned to Yugi and smiled.
"Already am," Seto corrected, Yugi gave him a sheepish grin and nodded.
"How do you feel aibou?" Yami asked softly and gently.
"Okay, my chest hurts a little," Yugi said calmly. Seto nodded and left the room to go and get a nurse.
"I could hear you," Yugi said with a silly grin on his face. Yami looked at him in bewilderment.
"About the show, and when you went into," Yami stopped, not wanting to relive that night any more, he had already had countless nightmares.
"Yea, I heard you, telling me to hang on," Yugi said, "Thank you Yami,"
"Yea, I heard you, telling me to hang on," Yugi said, "Thank you Yami," Yugi's head went up when he heard the door open.
"Good to see you awake and smiling Mr. Motou. I have some pain killers for you because according to Mr. Kaiba you are in a bit of pain," The nurse said, Yugi nodded.
The nurse walked over to the bed and injected something into Yugi's IV. "It shouldn't take long before you can feel it starting to work," she informed him as she left the room.
Soon after she gave it too him Yugi started to feel the pain edge away and eventually he felt so relaxed he fell asleep.
"Yami, there is something I didn't tell you about, and I didn't want to mention it because it might upset Yugi," Seto said as he sat in the chair while Yami still sat next to Yugi on his oversized bed.
"What is it?" Yami asked, Seto's change of tome scared him slightly.
"I talked to the detectives and tried to convince them that Yugi would do best in my care after he got out of the hospital but they really weren't listening. Yami, after Yugi gets out of the hospital he will be able to gather a few possessions and then sent to an orphanage. I lived in one part of my life, Yugi most likely will have a hard time there and you can not just come out freely like you could've at my house. But I promise I will do all in my power to have a date in court arranged to possibly adopt Yugi," Seto paused to make sure Yami was getting all of this.
"You are going to adopt him, aren't you the same age, you are in the same grade in the awful place they call school," Yami asked.
"Well, Yugi is smart for his age; I guess when you aren't allowed to have any friends you will tend to study a lot. I am sixteen and Yugi is only thirteen. I think, the situation being what it is, that the judge will find it in Yugi's best interest to come back to live in a familiar place. The point I was trying to make was that Yugi will have to spend time alone in an unfamiliar place. You will of course be in the puzzle but there is no circumstance that you will be allowed out," Seto said, and Yami nodded unwillingly.
"So what you are trying to say is that I will have to watch my aibou suffer?" Yami said surprisingly calmly.
"I'm sorry Yami but for now, unless you want to stay at my house and leave him all alone in that place, you have to stay in the puzzle under any circumstance. What would you prefer," Seto asked.
"I will stay with Yugi, but won't like it," Yami said.
"Okay, I have to leave, Mokuba will be getting home soon and for some odd reason I promised to take him to the zoo, I'm bringing my Advil," Seto said as he left the room.
Yami turned back to Yugi's prone form, "I will stay with you know matter how much it may pain me to see you in pain," he said before he turned off the lights and fell asleep, only to be plagued my terrible nightmares.
