It only took Yugi three days before he was able to get out of bed and walk around a bit. This was both good and bad news, it was good because Yugi was feeling better and healing quickly, and on the other hand it was bad because now Yugi had a shorter amount of time to spend with Yami before he had to go to the orphanage.
It was late and Yami was sitting on one side of Yugi's bed stroking his hair absentmindedly. "Yugi," Yami inquired.
"Hmm," Yugi answered. He looked at Yami who had a worried look on his face.
"Yugi, I have been talking to Seto and it would seem that you have to stay at the orphanage for at least two weeks unless it proves to be bad for your health. And the worst part is that in two more days you have to go. They wanted to take you sooner but Seto and Joey argued with them so much that they agreed that you could stay longer. More or less I am trying to say that you will soon be going away, are you sure you don't want me with you?" Yami asked softly, watching Yugi's facial expressions very carefully.
"At first I was regretting my decision to not have you come with me, but now, thinking about it, I really want you to stay with Seto. I would be constantly worried about you coming out of the puzzle, so I am most defiantly set on you staying with Seto and visiting me with him," Yugi said smiling, he had put a lot of thought into this.
"If that is what you really want Yugi," Yami said, he had been thinking that he could just hide in the puzzle but Yugi would not trust him if he did, he might even get mad at him. Heck, if he got mad enough he could dissemble the puzzle and mail the pieces to ends of the earth!
"Yea Yami, night," Yugi said, he snuggled into Yami's side and fell asleep with one worry. He had a strong doubt about this place, for some reason he had a bad feeling about it.
In the morning Yugi woke to the smell of flowers. He opened his eyes and look around his room, there was so many flowers that Yugi was afraid he would start smelling like perfume when he got out of here.
"Yami," Yugi said slightly shocked to not find Yami at his bedside like he had been every morning since the first time he woke up.
As soon as the words left his lips Yami and Seto appeared in the doorframe. "Yugi, it seems that the hospital has been taking care of the flowers that have been coming in afraid that you would have allergies, but now they are letting them in. You know to some you are a hero, saving Tea and all," Seto said admiring all the different kinds that Yugi now had, sniffing one here and there.
"Yami you look better, I guess Seto finally got you to eat and sleep, talking about sleep, what time is it, the nightstand is buried in bouquets," Yugi said smiling innocently.
"You slept for a while as did Yami, it's," Seto paused to look at his watch, "Two in the afternoon."
"Wow, no wonder I feel so much more relaxed and rested," Yugi said, "So Yami, what did you eat?" Yugi asked trying to make conversation.
"What ever it was it tasted horrible, aibou, I suspect that they are trying to kill you off," Yami said, whispering the last part to Yugi seriously. Yugi tried to conceal his laughter; he looked at Seto as if for some help, Seto gave him a what-do-you-want-from-me look and just stood there with a smirk on his face.
"Yami, all hospital food is like that, why don't you and Seto go out and get something at a fast food restaurant. It might help you to get out of this place," Yugi said trying to sound happy though he was worried about being alone, he didn't want to admit to Yami but he had an inner fear that his parents were going to come and get him.
"Yes, I agree with Yugi Yami, you need to get out of here," Seto said, not noticing Yugi uncomfortable expression. Yami looked to Yugi, who once again had a mask on that showed no fear. Yugi nodded for him to go on and go and eventually Yami gave in and left with Seto.
Yugi let out the breathe he was holding, he laid back in the bed hoping to get some sleep but unfortunately for him it didn't want to come that easily.
All of a sudden Yugi heard a noise that came from the window and he jumped, falling out of bed, and landing rather ungracefully on the ground with a semi-loud thump. (No no-one was there, the window just made noise...he is just over-reacting!)
Anther noise came and Yugi found himself shaking, he tried to calm himself down. 'Come on Yugi, it's nothing, no one is here, your parent's are in jail, they can't get you.' Yugi tried to convince himself.
Yugi couldn't shake the feeling of someone being there, unable to get up and going back to bed he just sat there and rocked back and forth and kept telling himself over and over again that there was no one there and he was safe in the hospital.
Yami returned around two and a half hours later, when he walked into Yugi room he was a bit alarmed to find Yugi on the floor and not on his bed. As soon as Yugi caught sight of Yami he ran and jumped into his arms.
"Yami," Yugi screamed as he embraced Yami and held onto him like a lifeline. "I heard something and I thought they were coming back to get me, I was a bad boy, they are going to punish me, I shouldn't have told, I really shouldn't have, now they are mad" Yugi was on the verge of crying with tears in his eyes.
Yami did not expect to come back to see Yugi in this state but then again nothing was predictable. "Yugi I am here and I am going to protect you, don't worry," Yami said as he placed Yugi back on his bed.
"Yugi I can't let you go through this alone, I have to stay with you when you go to that place," Yami said, Yugi look at him, but was unable to form words.
Seto strolled in leisurely since he decided to take his time returning to Yugi room unlike a certain ancient pharaoh who decided to get to Yugi quickly incase the 'scary food' attacked him. So instead of waiting for the elevator, Yami ran up three flights of stairs.
Seto didn't expect to see Yugi and Yami on the bed, elder one rocking the smaller other. He had a feeling that he could tell his maids that the guest room would not need to be set up; Yami was going to stay with Yugi.
"I am guessing something happened," Seto said looking at the two. Yami looked up and nodded, Yugi's behavior obviously scaring him.
Seto nodded and decided to go and call Mokuba while Yami got Yugi under control.
"Yugi, listen to me, I am going with you, you can't stop me, it's my job to protect you, what kind of other half am I if I don't live up to my job?" Yami asked. Yugi once again looked at him with hopeless eyes. "By Ra, Yugi it pains me to see you like this, please dry your tears and tell me what's wrong," Yami pleaded.
Yugi wiped his tears with the back on his hand and took a deep breathe to calm down his breathing.
"Yami, if y-you do stay w-with me, then p-please promise me that y-you will not come o-out of the puzzle, at all," Yugi said slowly returning his body racking sobs to nothing but small sniffles.
//For you aibou, I will do anything, I will not leave the confines of the puzzle, I promise you// Yami told Yugi. Yugi didn't speak, his body emotionally worn, instead he just closed his eyes and buried his head into Yami chest for comfort as he fell asleep.
Seto chose this time to walk back into the room, "Yami, I know that this emotional state that Yugi is in scares you, but you have to understand, this is all part of the healing process. Yugi has lived with years of child abuse, it won't just disappear," Seto informed the ancient spirit.
"I realize this Seto, but you must understand, for my short period of life I never saw such behavior, and if I did then I can't remember it. It was against the law to do such a thing to your own flesh and blood unless they were a slave to you because of debt. It pains me more than you may think to see Yugi in this kind of state," Yami said, he was obviously angry at himself for not being able to ease Yugi's pain right away.
"Just give it time, I take it you will be residing in the puzzle for the next two weeks, maybe when I come to visit you may come out, maybe, maybe not," Seto said trying to get a grip of the whole scheme of things.
"He doesn't have much time here does he? He will have to leave soon won't he?" Yami asked, his face as sincere are ever.
"Yes, tomorrow will be his last day in the care of the hospital, make sure you are in the puzzle when the social workers come to pick him up, and make sure that Yugi tells them that the puzzle is something that he must keep with him, they won't ask too many questions," Seto gave out directions.
"You make it seem like you won't be there Seto, why is this?" Yami asked.
"I won't be there, I have been called away on business, and as much as I hate to leave at this crucial time I must. I know this must look terrible for my chances to get Yugi in the court but there are certain things that I must do, this is one of them. I leave tomorrow morning at six, that's my flight time," Seto said. Yami could tell he didn't really want to leave to he decided to let the subject drop.
They sat in silence for a long period of time, eventually Yami's exhaustion caught up with him and he fell asleep, Yugi in his arms. Seto left soon after that, which was of course, after leaving Yugi and hefty envelope of money to help him along.
