Chapter
Nineteen
What They Feared
After a couple rounds of Uno Laria was getting tried, Seto called Mokuba down for dinner, and Yani was sick of losing. Therefore, she and Mokuba left so Laria could get some sleep. Yani headed to the Library, Mokuba to the kitchen. Yani walked in and Atemu looked up from his book.
"Is everything alright?" he asked, "You've been gone for a while."
"Oh, I was just playing Uno with Mokuba and Laria," Yani said picking up the book she had been skimming though earlier.
"Who won?"
"Laria, the Uno Queen," Yani said trying to find her page. Atemu raised an eyebrow.
"Uno Queen?" Atemu said smirking, "I think I'll have to go challenge this 'Uno Queen'."
"I think you should stay here and keep looking," Yani said, "If you find a cure you can play Uno with her with her all you want."
In the kitchen...
Mokuba sat down at the table. Seto had gone out and got McDonalds for everyone. He handed his little brother his food.
"Where's Lar?" Seto asked sitting down himself.
"She's sleeping right now," Mokuba said taking a bit out of his double cheeseburger.
"You don't mind taking her food up to her?" Seto said, it sounded more like a command then a question.
"Alright," Mokuba took a sip of his drink.
The next day...
A lot of Laria's energy had returned. She was back to her normal, peppy self. Yani felt she was capable of going back to school. She was going to ride to school with Seto and Mokuba and walk home with Malik and Ryou. Meanwhile, Atemu and Yani were almost though all the books in the Kaiba Library and still had not found anything.
School was just about over, they had searched all night. Yani was getting tired. Atemu was lying on the couch reading a book. She went over to the couch and climbed on top of him.
"Yani?"
"Atemu, I'm tired," Yani said looking at him.
"You can go up to Laria's room and take a nap," Atemu said. He ran his fingers though her hair. "I'm not stopping you."
"Yes you are," Yani pouted a little, "I can't leave you."
Atemu sighed. Yani grinned and laid her head on the former Pharaoh's chest, closing her eyes. Atemu went back to his book, simultaneously stroking Yani's hair. They lay like that for ten minutes until Mokuba burst though the door.
"Yani!" Mokuba exclaimed, "You have to come now! Something's happened to Laria!"
"What happened!" Yani said jumping over the back of the couch and running over to the door. Mokuba was lost for words, and pointed to the hallway. Yani stepped into the hall to see Malik and Ryou carrying an unconscious Laria.
"Oh Ra!" Yani gasped. Atemu did not know what his love had seen so he got up to see. He put the book down. The page turned, Atemu glanced down and his eyes went wide.
"Where should we take her?" Malik asked.
"Up to her room," Yani told them. They nodded and headed up to Laria's room, Mokuba followed them. Yani glanced back at Yami who was standing up reading.
"Atemu, are you coming?" Yani asked.
"I'll be up soon," Atemu answered with out looking up. Yani shrugged and went up to her Aibou's room. When she got there Malik and Ryou had laid Laria on her bed, and all three had grim looks, Mokuba's had to be the worst. Yani rushed over and knelt at the side of her bed.
She took her hikaris hand. It was cold, and her pulse was very faint. Laria was breathing very slowly. Yani stood up and frowned down at her hikari. The end was so close now. She could feel tears in the corner of her eyes.
"When did this happen?"
"On the way home from school," Ryou answered quietly.
"Yes, we were walking home, one minute she was fine and the next..."
"She just fell over..."
"Sideways, almost tripped Ryou..."
"Then we picked her up and carried her here..."
"On the way they came a crossed me," Mokuba said.
Yani nodded. She desperately wanted to drown them out, she could not bare it. Why did this have to happen to Laria... to herself? If a hikari dies, so does the yami. Yani did not want that to happen to Laria. There are so many things she has not done; she had never experienced love, true love like what Atemu and I have. If only she had told him before. Yani looked over at Ryou; you could see the tears in his eyes. If he had blinked, they would have fallen. Then she looked at Malik. He looked as if he wanted to cry but doing everything not to.
"Is-is she going to be ok?" Mokuba asked.
"I don't know..." Yani said, "I mean, we haven't found a cure yet."
"Yes we have."
They all turned to see Atemu standing in the doorway holding a book.
"Did you really?" Yani asked. Atemu smiled and nodded. Yani ran over and hugged him tightly; tears began to fall, "Thank you Atemu."
Mokuba, Ryou, and Malik looked relived, but Atemu was running out of air.
"Y-Yani," he choked, "I c-can't breath"
Yani let go of Yami, who took a gasp of air.
"Gomen koi."
"Its ok," Atemu said pulling Yani into his arm, kissing her passionately. Mokuba gagged, Malik rolled his eyes and poked the Atemu the back of the head.
"Alright that's enough Pharaoh."
They broke the kiss, Yani blushed a little.
"Ok Yami," Ryou said, "What did you find?"
