A Little Winter Miracle
Pan: I'm glad some of you liked this! But, Yugi Girl 22232, I'm aware I didn't get to the point of the story in the first chapter, mostly because that was a prologue. I have never written a one-shot, and if I had, it would say 'one-shot' in the summary. ^-^ OK, that's sorted, on with the story. Excuse the OOCness, please!

"Doctor, he's waking up!" A female voice cried as Kiseki Yami's eyes slid open. "Good morning, young man." the female said, a nurse. Yami stayed silent, his eyes wandering about the room. A hospital room, well lit, it's pure white almost dazzling Yami. A doctor in a white coat walked in.
"Hello there." he said. "You had quite an accident there." Yami tried to raise his head to speak, but only muttered "Itai..." as pain shot through it, and he had to lie down again. "Yes, it is going to hurt. Luckily, your head injury wasn't too bad, but your left arm's broken." The doctor said, smiling. "Now, for your medical records, what's your name?" Yami bit his lip. "K-Kiseki Yami." he answered quietly. "Good..." the doctor murmured, writing down the name. "Relations? Home address?" he asked next. Yami looked away. "None, and none. I don't have a family or a home." he said, quieter than before. The doctor frowned. "Ah... well, I can release you from the hospital, but it must be into someone's care..." he explained.
"Hello?" a small voice said from the door. "Doctor... is he alright?" The doctor turned, smiling. "Of course, please come in, I'm sure he'd like to meet you."
A short boy came into the room, blushing shyly. He had glittering amethyst eyes, and Yami frowned, noting that the boy was like a miniature version of himself. "Yami, this young man pretty much saved your life. He said he found you unconscious on the roadside, and called an ambulance for you." the doctor explained, pushing the small boy forward.
"Ohayo..." the small boy said. "My name is Yugi. Pleased to meet you." He held out his hand timidly. Yami took it, smiling a little. "I'm Yami. Thank you." Yugi smiled, his cheeks flushing red. "Right, now, I need to find someone to take care of you, Yami." the doctor said. Yugi turned around. "I- I could..." he said. "I live with a friend who's nineteen; is that alright?" He turned back to Yami. "Unless you don't want to..."
"Nineteen? It's a little young, but I think it's the best we can do, especially just before Christmas. What's your friend's name?" the doctor inquired. Yugi smiled. "Kaiba Seto." The doctor's eyes widened. "Kaiba Seto? You're sure he won't mind?" he said rapidly. Yugi shrugged. "He shouldn't; but, could you call him and explain to him what's going on for me?" the small boy said. The doctor nodded. "Of course. Nurse, I need you to see to room 192 for me." The two medical staff left the room.

With his good arm, Yami reached over and grabbed Yugi by the collar. "Why couldn't you have just left me to die?!" he hissed angrily. "I'm worthless; it'd be better if I was dead!" Yugi looked up at him bravely. "You're not worthless. No life is worthless." he said quietly. Yami's ruby eyes locked with Yugi's amethyst ones briefly. In that moment, Yami found that he couldn't be angry with the smaller boy. He let go., and sat up properly. "I- I'm sorry, Yugi." he said. "And thank you." Yugi smiled. "It's alright. You wouldn't living with me and Seto, would you?" he asked, concerned. Yami shook his head. "It'd be most welcome. Better than a Christmas spent on the streets anyway." he said, smiling faintly. Yugi looked at him curiously. "Why do you live on the streets, if it's not being nosey?" he inquired quietly. Yami looked away. "I'd rather not talk about it."
At that point, the doctor returned. "Yugi, your friend says that it will be alright." he informed them. "And Yami, please try and rest as much as possible. In six weeks, I want you back here, so we can remove that cast."
Yugi helped Yami out of the hospital bed. The taller boy frowned at the pale pink pyjamas he was wearing; pink wasn't one of his favourite colours. After Yami's original clothes had been returned to him, they went down to where a car was waiting outside.
"Master Yugi, I assume we will be heading straight home?" the chauffeur asked as the two climbed in.
'Master?' Yami thought curiously.
"Of course." Yugi's voice sounded cheerful. The car pulled off on the short trip home. Yami watched the journey through the window, very quietly. He was surprised when the car went up the drive of a large house, almost a mansion. "Home!" Yugi jumped out of the car, helping Yami out too, then opened the dark wood front door, showing the taller boy in.
They entered a long entrance hall, and Yugi pulled Yami towards the first door on the right hand side. "Seto! Seto, I'm back!" Yugi called brightly. A brunette boy got up from one of the many sofas in the room, as this room seemed to be a lounge. "Hey there, you're in time for lunch! I'm not sure what Ryou's cooking, but it smells good!" Seto said, smiling. Yami's eyes wandered around the huge room. In one corner, a lavishly decorated Christmas tree stood proud. Tinsel was wound around tables and windows, and cards covered every available surface. A large TV against one of the walls was quietly telling the morning's news to no-one in particular.
"And you must be Yami!" Seto walked over to the injured boy. Yami nodded. "Yes... thank you for letting me stay with you..." he said quietly. Seto nodded. "It's alright; you can stay for as long as you want. Of course, certain people like Yugi and Ryou just don't want to leave." he said. Yami looked up curiously. "Why would Yugi want to leave if he lives here?" he inquired. "Didn't Yugi tell you!?" Seto exclaimed. "Yugi, Ryou, everyone who stays here, except me, were kicked out by their parents, born on the streets, any situation where they have nowhere to go. I let them live here for as long as they want." Yami's eyes lit up. "As... long as they want?" he said hopefully. Seto laughed at Yami's reaction. "Yes, and that includes you!"
"Yugi..." Yami looked around for the small boy, only to spot him running through a door in the opposite wall. He frowned slightly. "That's the kitchen, AKA, Ryou's Domain. Come on, I'll show you to your room." Seto said, leading Yami back into the entrance hall, then up some stairs in a nearby alcove. On reaching the landing, they began to walk along it, Seto pointing out the rooms of current residents.
"That's my room, this one is Ryou's... Bakura's, I'm not sure where he is today, a bathroom here, that's a closet, don't worry about that, then Yugi's room, and yours!" Seto said, gesturing towards the seventh of the doors. "There's only one rule here; the ninth door on the left hand side is my study. You're not allowed in there without permission. OK?" Yami nodded. "Thank you." he pushed open the door to his new room. "I'll see if I can find any clothes to fit you." Seto said, turning, and making his way back towards the stairs.

Pan: Who knew Kaiba had such a heart of gold? Please excuse the OOCness; Seto's the only one with enough money to pull something like this off.
