Yugi: Maybe I should have gone easy on him.

Yami: Naw, that jerk deservered it.

Yugi: I know, but did you have to beat him up that hard?

Yami: Now that you mention it...yes.

Mijikai: You're an idiot, Yami. Oh, hi. Sorry, didn't realize you were there. Enjoy the fic, while I teach Yami a lesson.

Yami: PUT THE FREAKIN BRICK DOWN!!! ***************************************************************

Yami: It's all your fault.

Ryou sat next to Yugi, who was lying in the shrine, sleeping. Jounouchi, Honda and Anzu were there. Anzu seemed she was about to cry, and Jounouchi fidgeted. Honda leaned against the wall and was lost in thought. Yugi finally stirred and opened his eyes.

"Yugi, are you alright?" asked Ryou.

"Hai, I guess," he murmured.

"It's been a week since you've fallen ill," said Anzu, and replaced a cold cloth on his burning forehead.

"Yugi?" Jounouchi asked with heisitation.

"Hm?"

"Who was that guy who looks like you? I've never seen him before and I don't think you have a brother."

Yugi was in silence as he thought on how he would answer. But thinking tired his mind and decided to say it straight out.

"His name is Yami. He just lives here with me and Sugorok," he said in a raspy voice.

"And whose that?" Honda suddenly said while pointing to the picture on the small table.

Yugi glanced at it and smiled faintly.

"His name is Hikari," Yugi explained. "Yami's twin brother, but he died years ago."

Yugi suddenly felt a cough well up in his throat and turned away as he coughed. Flecks of blood was stained in the corner of his mouth, and he laied there in exaghsten.

"How can this happen?" Jououchi muttered. "Why'd it have to be Yug? Out of all the people?"

"Jou calm down, it's only a sickness. It will pass in time," said Anzu.

"I'm sorry, but I can't stand it."

"Jou?" Yugi asked weakly.

"Yugi, you're one of the best friends I've ever had. How can I lose you? Nothing would be the same."

"I agree," said Honda with a nod as he joined them on the ground.

"So do I," said Anzu.

Yugi smiled.

"It's only an illness, it will pass in time and I'll be up and running in no time."

Ryou looked depressed at those words. He knew Yugi was only saying that to reassure his friends. A groan broke his thoughts and blinked to see Yugi trying to get up.

"Yugi, don't get up," said Ryou, and pushed him back down.

"You don't really need to worry about me. I'm not all that worth it."

"Don't say that!" Ryou said in a surprising sharp tone. "You're not useless or worthless. Your much more."

"Ryou, you don't understand. I haven't been useful even once in my life. How can you believe I'm not worthless if I haven't even done anything useful!"

Ryou softened as he saw tears starting to pool in the back of his eyes, and slowly flow down.

"It's true Ryou. I don't know what you believe, but I know what I do."

"Your losing faith Yugi. You're losing confidence."

Yugi didn't answer.

"Don't lose your belief, Yugi," he said.

Yugi suddenly, burst and sobbed uncontrollabely. Anzu hugged Yugi, patting him on the back gently, as the other's could only stare in numb silence. When Anzu nudged Jounouchi and Honda in the ribs to help, Jounouchi put on a smile and started saying things that he hoped would cheer Yugi up, and Honda started helping out by agreeing or adding a few insults on Jounouchi's part. Yugi always seemed to laugh when they insult each other, or most of the time exghasperated and tell them to calm down. Ryou sat silently, and let the three do what they could till Yugi stopped his crying to sniffs.

"Yugi, I'm sorry," Ryou said gently. "I didn't mean to upset you."

"It's okay Ryou. It's my fault. It's all my fault," and started crying again.

Ryou took him from Anzu's arms and hugged him. Anzu was surprised when she saw Ryou also starting to cry.

"Iie (no), it's mine. I'm sorry."

Yugi could only stare in surprise as did the other three. Yugi would have said it wasn't his fault when his body shivered violently and passed out in fatigue he never knew he had. ***************************************************************

"Sugoroku, he needs the medicine again," said Jounouchi, as Yugi's soft breathing became a wheeze.

Sugoroku handed the cup to Ryou and he slid it down Yugi's throat and his breathing became easier again. He became really pale know and sweat would bead down his forehead even though he shivered.

"You kids better get home," Sugoroku said.

"We really don't mind Mr.Mutou," said Anzu, as she replaced the cold cloth. "Minna (everybody) let's go into the living room then for some hot chocolate," he suggested.

"But we can't leave Yug," Jounouchi protested.

"Yeah, he's our little buddy," added Honda.

"Don't worry he won't be alone. Trust me."

Ryou knew exactly who it was and paled but got up to follow Sugoroku. The other three heisitated, but followed, giving Yugi a last glance before leaving. Once the room was empty, the puzzle at Yugi's side, glowed and Yami appeared.

"Yugi?"

There was no response. Yami took his hand and squeezed it, and smiled as he faintly felt a squeeze back.

"Yugi," he whispered.

"Aww, how sweet."

Yami turned sharply.

"Nice reunion," came a snarl.

"Go away!" Yami barked.

"Why?"

"You've done enough damage!"

"Poor anata (you). Sarting softening to a lowly earth boy."

"I know who he is, and he's more then someone born of earth!"

"We'll see about that. If he dies, he's nothing special, if he lives I'll believe you."

"I won't take nothing from you!" and drew his sword that had been tied to his waist because of habit.

Bakura drew his.

"Crimson!"

"Death!" and both swords collided.

Bakura swung his sword again, once they parted, and Yami bent back and went right back up. Yami swung to the right, left, and pretended to aim for the left again, but quickly swintched to the right. It cut Bakura's cheek as he jumped out of the way in barely enough time.

"You will pay for that!" and knocked Yami down.

Yami rolled over as the sword thrust down. He rolled to the other side and quickly put his blade up as it collided against Death.

"Die!" Bakura growled, as he pushed the blades down.

"You wish!" and pushed them back towards Bakura.

Once Bakura was distracted on stopping the blades from going into his direction, Yami quickly kicked Bakura off and flipped up. He turned sharply as Death came whistling towards him, and put Crimson up and stepped back from the force.

"You think you can win?" Bakura hissed, as he struggled to pushe the colidded blades towards Yami.

"I can try!"

"Once I kill you, I'll kill that brat."

"Over my dead body!" and with a huge heave, pushed Bakura to the ground.

"You are a fool. Trying to protect the one you must kill."

"That's because you never felt love!" and punched him in the stomach, then kicked him.

He flew back and hit the wall. Yami immediately knew that was a mistake, as Bakura jumped back up and lunged towards Yugi. He lifted his sword and brought it down.

"Iie! (No)" and sheilded Yugi as the blade cut across his back.

He grunted in pain.

"Fool!" and brought it down again.

Yami bit his lip as pain seared across his back. He was suddenly kicked and hit the wall. He struggled half way up and had his teeth clenched, one eye closed, while the other one glared up at Bakura.

"Weakling," he laughed.

Suddenly, he fell as Yami stood up, with an evil smirk on his face.

"Don't underestimate me," and kicked him.

Bakura just smiled bitterly as he landed on his feet and croached like a cat.

"Mrow," and lunged.

His nails scraped Yami's cheek as he flew by.

"I guess he have a pussy cat on the loose," he said while wiping the blood, and having a smirk on his face.

Then licked it.

(Yami: That's disgusting! How can you write that!? Mijikai: At least it's your own blood and you're not licking his. Yami: That's even more disgusting! Mijikai: Good, now shut up, dork!)

"Vampire in the house, better get the stake ready," and lunged.

Yami flipped over Bakura and landed lightly on his feet.

"Any other tricks?"

Bakura lunged and brought down his sword. As he expected Yami dodged, but only to feel nails scrap his flesh.

"How's that?" he asked while flexing his hand.

"Impressive," Yami admitted. "But try this," and jumped.

He raised his sword and suddenly disappeared.

"What the...."

Suddenly, the blade cut across his chest.

"Like it? A trick my father taught me."

"You won't win," and punched Yami in the face.

He stepped sharply on his hand and the grip let go of the sword. He was grabbed by his neck and slammed him on the wall. The grip tightened around his throat, and he choked. The blade, Death, playfully, lightly touched his chest.

"Good bye, Yugioh."

Yami kicked him in the stomach.

"Shiseiji! (bastard)" he spat as he kneed Yami in the gut. "You will die now!"

Yami shut his eyes, waiting.

"YAMI!!!"

Yami opened an eye and saw Yugi pulling back Bakura's arm.

"Brat!"

"Dork!" and bit his hand.

Bakura growled and dropped the sword, and glared murder at Yugi. He forcefully threw Yugi off his hand and Yugi ended up flying off. Luckily, someone came into the room just that moment, and he landed in his arms.

"Seto!"

"Hey there."

Yami grabbed Bakura's arm and threw him. He landed on his feet and swiftly grabbed his sword.

"I let you win this time, but next time," he hissed and jumped out of the small window.

Yami growled as he ran to it and looked out, but saw nothing. He was gone. Seto took a look at Yugi and saw he had passed out. Yami cringed a bit as he leaned against the wall. Sugoroku came up and paniced at what he saw.

"What happened!?"

"Bakura payed a little visit," Seto explained. "I got up here just in time to catch Yugi then once he saw me Bakura left. Coward. Can't face two swords men."

Yami snorted, which earned him a glare from Seto. Sugoroku layed another mat on the floor and gestured for Yami to get on. Yami shook his head, but the sharp glare from Sugoroku made him grudgingly take off his coat and shirt and lyed on his stomach so Sugoroku could get to the wounds on his back. Once Sugoroku was done cleaning and bandaging, Yami stood back up and crossed his arms.

"You're lucky you're alive," Sugoroku said.

"I'm lucky Yugi became consious."

"Is everything alright?" asked Ryou as he came up. "Forgive me if you didn't want me to come up, but you were gone so long I thought I'd check to see if everything was alright."

"Does it look alright!" Yami barked.

"Yes, everything things taken care of now," answered Seto, glaring at Yami who glared back.

Both Sugoroku and Ryou sweat dropped.

Yugi moaned and shifted in Seto's arms, then his eyes snapped open and cried out.

"Yugi!" Minna (everybody) shouted.

Yugi only clutched his chest as he cried out again.

"That's it!" Seto growled, as he passed him to Sugoroku.

Ryou grabbed his arm.

"Iie! (no)"

"What else can we do! Do you want him to die!?"

"Of course not! Fine, let's go."

"What do you mean, we? Your staying."

"Not on my terms."

"Are we going or not?" Yami growled.

They turned and saw him dressed in his warrior suit and was tying his sword to his side. Seto and Ryou brought out their swords as well.

"Ready?" Seto asked.

"Ready!" both shouted.

"Let's go!" and they disappeared.***************************************************************

Mijikai: Sorry, the chapters are getting less and less humorous but don't worry it will go back up. I promise.

Yami: Yeah, right. You never keep your promises.

Yugi: But Yami, neither do you.

Yami: (sweatdrop) Uhhhhhhh.

Mijikai: Ha Ha! Now look who's talking.

Yami: Yugi! You shouldn't have said anything!

Yugi: I'm sorry Yami.

Mijikai: And for your punishment Yami, one hour of target practice.

Yami: Huh? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Flying bricks!
