Pharaohess: *runs in out of breath* I'm a little tied up here, so Yugi can do the reviews! *Starts running as Yami comes into the room with his Egyptian ceremonial sword, chasing her*

Yugi: Ok, While Yami's chasing Pharaohess, I'm doing the reviews.

yamachan*is my*man- Thank You! Yeah, poor Me. AHHHHHH! Lightsaber! *Ducks* No! I swear! Seto will be fine (I say that on behalf of Pharaohess)! Oh, and Seto QUIT BEINGING MEAN! (Or Yami will come after you with a Egyptian ceremonial sword!)

life - yeah, I know!

Dark_Fox - Thanks for the offer, but Lance is sleeping, so leave him that way. Her own yami, Yali, can protect her. She's Yami's sister (Pharaohess: yeah, I know, I know, Yami must have hundreds of sisters! I'm not copying anyone!), and can **persuade** her brother not to.

Trunks - HEY! I'm taking offence! ;_; Here's the next chapter.

Chaosmage - yeah, I'll wake - I hope.you're right - if I don't, then Yami will do more to Pharaohess than attack her with that sword.but I'm sure that won't happen. Well, I pretty sure, I guess.

Pooka - Ok. Here you go!

SpinningSaiyans - What do you mean 'Cool he might die'? Me dying is not cool. Oh Pharaohess has not read Seto's Death, but will. Ok?

rox - yeah, she loves your stories! (Pharaohess: *runs past with Yami still chasing her* YESSSSSSSS! Please update Raven! I LOVE It!) Yeah, so sad about me.to right I'm not safe between the two of you! Oh, and I think Pharaohess would want to say thank you for adding her to your favourite stories list!

Ok, that's the reviews.

Pharaohess: *comes back in with a girl who looks very much like Yami. The girl is grinning, Yami's sword in her hand. Yami is looking annoyed behind her* Thanks, yami! Readers, this is my yami, Yali!

Yali: Hey all! On with the story!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~*Yugi POV~*

I was falling into darkness. And I was in pain. And it was hard to breathe. All I could see was darkness, and, working out my eyes were closed, I tried to open them, but I couldn't. Yami sensed my discomfort, and was with me again, and it was somewhat comforting to have his presence.

//Don't, Yugi//

/Why not?/

//Because it will wear you out. The anaesthetic hasn't worn off, and your body needs physical rest//

/How much?/

//I cannot say. A few hours, perhaps, or maybe even a few days. You should rest, Yugi//

/Ok/

I stopped trying to open my eyes, and slid into a dreamless sleep.

~*Yami POV*~

I don't know how long we waited for him to regain full consciousness. By our guesses, the shooting had taken place at about 9:55am. It was now 10:45, and Yugi was showing no signs of regaining consciousness, and was not responding to anything through the mind link. We all left at different times, to ring families, to get food, to talk to someone.I sat at Yugi's bedside table and looked through his deck.

The Dark Magician, Gaia the Fierce Knight, Summoned Skull, Polymerisation.I had watched him play with these cards again and again, and helped him along the way. The Ties of Friendship card was blood-soaked in one corner. The card was still recognisable, but the blood would forever remind me of this day. As I sat there, I slid slowly into memories. Memories of duelling with Yugi, as a partner, memories of Duellist Kingdom, just memories of Yugi in particular. The main memory was that of the night he solved the puzzle. At one point, at about 1pm, I was alone in Yugi's room; Téa, Tristan and Joey were talking to their families on the phone, Solomon was talking to a doctor, along with Seto, and Bakura and Ryou had gone to get us all something to eat.

As I was looking at the cards, emotion overtook me and tears started to fall. Yugi was my other half, as well as best friend - I could never live without him! He was always there for me, always a friend, and always a companion. Always my light, my hikari, my abiou. As tears cascaded down my face, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I hurriedly dried my eyes and looked up to find Joey watching me.

"Yugi was you light, and you his dark. You have a bond none of us have. It's hardest for you. Can you reach him?"

I shook my head. Together we started a conversation, about the good times we had, and throughout the next ten or so minutes, the others slowly joined us. Soon we were all laughing at the mishaps and situations we had got ourselves into.

We all dwelt for some time on the day Yugi and I duelled Pegasus, when everyone knew something had happened to him. We had all thought Yugi was dead. It had turned out he wasn't, though, but this time would we be so lucky?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yugi: So I am alive? Yay! ^___^

Pharaohess: Yep! Yami?

Yami: I'm not saying it.

Yali: *grabs Yami by the neck* SAY IT!

Yami: -_- I'm sorry, Pharaohess, for chasing you with the sword.

Pharaohess: ^____^ Apology accepted! Now please review to find out what will happen in this amazing, breath-taking, wonderful, fabulous, magnificent, brilliant, wicked story! (Just kidding)

Yami: Don't flatter yourself.
