Yugi awoke before Yami did and look at his sadly. Memories from the night before mocking and frightening him inside his mind.
~*~Flashback~*~
Yugi was feeling tired from the pain medicine that the nurse had given, he closed his eyes though sleep did not come right away. Instead the sound of Seto deep voice did;
"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," Yami said before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Yugi's eyes opened and they had tears in them, "Yami, I am not worth it," Yugi whispered before he joined his darker half in the land of nightmares.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
Unbeknown to Yugi, Yami was waking to the sight of his crying Hikari.
Yami hand went to brush the tears away and at this time Yugi noticed that Yami was awake.
"Why are you crying Yugi?" Yami asked looking into Yugi's angst violet eyes.
"Yami, I want you to...stay with Seto," Yugi burst out.
"What are you talk about my little light, who would I stay with Seto?" Yami asked.
"Because it... it would pain y-you to s-s-see me, t-the way t-t-that I a-am right n-now" Yugi said breaking down and letting the tears fall freely form his eyes.
Yami frowned and gathered his small shaking light into his arms being careful not to aggravate his wounds, "Yugi, how much of last night did you hear?" he asked softly.
"All o-of it, I have t-t-to g-go away a-and stay away a-and you s-said it w- w-would hurt you t-to see me like t-that so I want you t-to stay with Seto, p-p-please, for me do it?" Yugi asked unable to force his tears to subside.
"Yugi, I wish not to leave you alone in an unknown place, you know that," Yami said rubbing small circles on his back.
"But at least you would be able to visit me in person if you did, and I'm sure that Seto would take you to come and see me, but please, don't make yourself uncomfortable over me," Yugi whispered, it was obvious that he was falling back asleep.
"Yugi, I will do what is best for you, always," Yami said falling asleep with his little angel in his arms.
Seto came back that afternoon to see the younger of the two awake supporting the older one's weight.
"Seto, nice to see you, help please," Yugi smiled sweetly. Seto came over and helped Yugi move Yami back into the chair next to Yugi's bed. "Um...Seto I need to ask you a favor, please, please, take Yami to your house when I have to go away," Yugi said, sniffling at the thought.
"Did he tell you, that idiot, what is wrong with him?" Seto asked in a slight fit of rage. Yugi instantly got a frightened look on his face as he was thrown into a land of remembrance.
~*~Flash from the Past~*~
"Shut up you crying brat," Shiko screamed as she hit him in the back of the head with the bat she was holding.
"Please it hurts, stop the hurt," Yugi cried the pain was intense; all Yugi wanted was to be engulfed in the pain and sent into the darkness.
"Pain is just your weakness leaving you pathetic body," Takahiko screamed as he too helped his beloved wife beat the living crap out of their son.
~*~Present~*~
"No, the pain, make it stop, the pain, it hurts so much," Yugi was mumbling, his eyes shut tight. Yami had woken up when the small boy and screamed at the top of his lungs for his invisible attackers to stop!
"Yugi, there is no one there!! Please aibou, snap out of it," Yami said soothingly. All of Yugi's screaming had also attracted a nurse who had come rushing into the room upon hearing the distressed call of the abused boy.
"What's going on here?" she asked as she ran to pull Yami off of the struggling Yugi. Seto grabbed her knowing that her interference would only do Yugi worse.
"Stop the pain, stop, please," Yugi cried out still struggling against Yami's firm grip on him.
"What are you doing, let the poor boy down, he is suffering," the nurse called out still trying to get to Yugi who had now started to cry and shake uncontrollably.
"Yugi is reliving when he was being beaten, Yami is the only one he will want when we snap him out of this awkward trance," Seto informed her, she eventually let it sink into her thick head and stood off to the side with Seto. They both settled for watching the small boy go through one of the toughest times that he would ever have to face in his life.
"Yugi, please aibou, snap out of this, come back," Yami cried out and he gently shook the frightened boy. All of a sudden Yugi's body went stiff as a board and then limp.
"Yugi," came the cries from Seto and the nurse that was there.
"Yami," came a weakened voice, Yami looked down to see Yugi's eyes half lidded and looking rather red and puffy from all his crying.
"I am here for you aibou, what's wrong," Yami said softly hugging Yugi ever so gently.
"I was so scared Yami, please just hold me," Yugi said looking hopeful at Yami. Yami, unable to resist Yugi's look, just smiled and nodded and the still slightly shaking form in his arms.
The nurse looked at Seto in amazement, then she left the room with a confused look on her face, Yugi was obviously fine with the two and she wasn't needed at the moment, she would check Yugi's vitals later.
"I have to be going, take care Yugi and Yami," Seto said also leaving, now the two brothers were sitting on Yugi's bed, the elder with the younger in his arms, rocking his and speaking softly to him.
/Yami?/ Yugi asked.
//What is it aibou?// Yami asked back.
/I wanted to ask you a favor but I felt embarrassed to do it out loud/ Yugi informed his dark.
//And what is that Yugi?// Yami asked.
/Will you sing to me?/ Yugi asked, Yami smiled as a small blush ran across his little lights face.
//I guess so// Yami said, he didn't really know and Japanese songs so he hoped that Yugi wouldn't mind and Egyptian song.
/Thanks so much Yami, it will help me go to sleep, I just know it/ Yugi said, Yami could feel Yugi's weak attempt to hug him.
"Okay, here we go," Yami said right before he started to sing ever so softly. Yugi snuggled into Yami's chest and eventually his breathing slowed and it was clear to Yami that he was asleep.
"Sleep well my aibou," Yami said and he kissed Yugi's forehead and laid Yugi under the covers. He then lay next to Yugi and fell asleep.
The nurse came in later and frowned, now how was she suppose to check her patient, there was a boy with his body in her way!
