Chapter 4: Faith Of The Unknowen
The sun shone through the window. Yugi woke up feeling sickly.
"Motou your awake." Kaiba stood in the doorway with a gift basket.
"Kaiba I never thought I would see the day you carrying a gift basket," Yugi laughed in a muffled voice.
"Yeah well, Kari made me bring it..." Kaiba sighed and pulled up chair next to Yugi's bed. For some reason he just couldn't keep his eyes open.
"Seto, oh he's still asleep..."
"No Mokuba he's not. Would you go tell the others that?"
"Sure thing bro!" Yugi could hear Mokuba's hurried footsteps fade away.
"Had to get rid of him for a bit. The others are at the coffee shop and I elected or more like was forced to stay here and wait till you wake up. Besides Wheeler begged."
Yugi sat up forcfully.
"Stop that!" Yugi yelled.
"Stop what?" Seto asked.
"Stop making fun of Joey!"
"Okay...okay!" Kaiba sat back in the chair and Yugi layed back down. 'Yugi is always like that when it comes to friends. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. He even defends me when I need it. But that's not too often.'
"What are you thinking?" Yugi asked with his eyes closed.
"Nothing..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
"TEA! JOEY! KARI! SERENITY! ANYONE!" Mokuba yelled in the coffe shop.
A waiter came up to him. "Son I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you keep disturbing the peace around here."
"What is it Mokuba?" Tea asked with the others following.
"YUGI'S AWAKE!"
"Son you're going to have to leave..."
"WHAT?!" The others scramed.
"ALL OF YOU LEAVE NOW!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
//Yugi, glad you woke up, // Yami was smiling.
/I am too. Who do you think interfered with the process of making you a body?/
//I don't know, // Yami placed a hand on his chin.
/Yami my arm!/ Yugi stared at his arm. Burn marks penetrated it.
//You don't want to know, //
/ NOT THAT! LOOK! BLOOD! /
//Here, that will happen, but not all the time... //
Yugi snapped out of his trance and opened his eyes to find Tea hugging him tightly.
"Oh sorry Yugi. I'm just so happy you're awake!" Tea said after seeing him turn blue. She let go.
"It's ok..." Yugi replied cheerfully. Kaiba put the basket down on the bed side table and took a chair nearest to the closet.
"Seto are you going to sit there the whole time?" Kari asked walking in with another gift basket.
"I though you said-that basket-KARI!"
"Calm down Seto, this one is from Mokuba."
"Why isn't Mokuba here?"
"He went to a friends house," Kari placed the second basket down on the table.
"Hey Yug!"
"Hey Joey." Joey took Yugi into a hug but let go soon after. Everyone piled in after that.
"Where's grandpa?" Yugi looked all around the room.
"Oh he went to show a new lady, his age, around the park," Arora replied.
"Oh...when did Mokuba decide to go to a friends house?" Yugi looked at Kari.
"After he came and told us you were awake," Kari sat on the other side of the bed.
//Poor aibu... // Yami chuckled.
/Yeah, / Yugi sighed mentally. Yugi motioned to get out of bed but Joey pushed him back down.
"Yug you have to stay in bed. Doctors orders!" Joey's face made Yugi pull the covers back over him, his gaze turning toward Arora.
"Who's this?" Yugi asked.
"Arora, my Yami's best friend other than me!" Lily replied "her name is Arora and she saved your life!"
"Thanks Arora. I think you already know my name?"
"No I don't. They never told me!"
"Oh, my names Yugi. Nice to meet you. I would get out of bed and shake your hand, but as you can see, I'm kinda at a disadvantage."
"Yes...well, what's done is done. Listen Luna and Lily, I'll come around later if you need me." Arora left the room with a faint tinge of golden running of her hair.
"She is hot!" Tristan said after the door closed.
"Don't get any idea's stupid!" Lily responded, "you guys don't mind if she hangs around do you?"
"No." Everyone except Kaiba said in unison.
"I don't care one way or the other. As long as you geeks stay out of my way." Kaiba stood up and walked toward the closed door. "Motou, try not to kill yourself before reclaim my title as King Of Games from you." Kaiba opened the door and in a hurried pace glided out of the room.
"Wat's his problem?" Joey asked.
"I think he's worried about Yugi, but I'm not sure." Kari stood up and looked out the window.
"Looks like rain," Trista moaned.
"That calls for..."
"Oh no Joey! Not that!" Kari moaned.
"MEAT BALLS IN KAIBA'S MANSION!"
"NO!" They all yelled. But Joey eventually convinced them. Besides Yugi needed his rest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
"Should we have left Yugi alone?" A guilty Tea asked.
"We wanted to go out. And Yugi couldn't come. Doctors orders..." Kari moaned "but I do feel guilty."
"Don't worry, Yugi can handle it." Kaiba smirked, but inside he did feel guilty.
"I know what you mean...:" Ryou replied, "I mean, I feel horrible for what my Yami did to Yugi."
"You should!"
"SETO!" Kari smacked Kaiba in the back of the head.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Yami stared at Yugi. The sun played with his hair as Yugi's body moved up and down.
//Yugi what is wrong? //
/Yami.../ Yami walked over to face Yugi only to see his eyes full of tears.
//Yugi what is it? // Yami asked with more urgency.
/T-they left... / Yami felt Yugi's forehead. He wasn't running a fver.
//They only left because they wanted you to rest... //
/You sure? / Yugi moaned. Yami placed an arm around his aibu.
//Yes... // Yugi gave a smile at Yami's words and fell asleep. 'Wow, he really must be feeling horrible!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"Dinners over. Let's go see Yugi!" Tea shouted.
"Tea calm down," Kaiba parted the vodka glass from his lips and pulled Serenity into a hug. Joey snirrd.
"Kaiba's right. He needs to rest." Serenity leaned in for a kiss.
"Enough! Let's go party!" Joey yelled grabbing his sister.
"Damn Wheeler!" Kaiba mutterd. He stood up and the others entered his limo and they drove off to a club.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
//Yugi why have you come inside the puzzle? What is bothering you? You need to rest. My Aibu please rest. //
/Yami...I...Ineedtotalk! /
//Say that again but slower. //
/I need to talk... /
//Yugi... //
/Yami....I...just feel so alone. Ever since-since the b-blood.... // Yugi fell onto his knees.
//Yugi! // Yami rushed over to him and pulled him into his arms.
/I can't get the image of the blood c-consuming me! / Yugi began to cry.
//Sssh...it'll be ok... //
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Tea sat at the bar along with Kaiba with a coke in her hands.
"Gardner why do you like Yugi?" Tea slightly surpriesed by his question answered:
"I don't know. He's just Yugi."
"What is so speacial about him?" Kaiba took a sip of his wine.
"He's kind, genrous, gentle, cheery, and willing to anything for his friends..." Tea replied and started to think 'why am I telling Kaiba this? It's not like we're friends. Or are we more than that? NO! NO! First Yami, and now Kaiba...' Tea took a long drink of her soda.
After a few minutes of quiet other than the music Kaiba broke the silence "I see. I wish..." Kaiba stopped. 'Why should I tell her what I feel. It's not like she would understand.'
"Guys com'n on the dance floor!" Joey yelled.
"Nah..." Both Tea and Kaiba replied.
'I'm too worried about Yugi,' Tea played with the straw in her drink.
"Hey Tea." Kari and Trista sat on both sides of her.
"Hey guys, tierd of dancing?" Tea stared at her drink.
"Yeah, hey loosen up. We know your worried about Yugi," Trista said flicking bangs from her hair.
"He'll be fine!" Kari and Trista pull Tea onto the dance floor. She found this relaxing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
The moonlight that shone through the blinds hit Yugi's sleeping form. Yami watched the young boys' chest move up and down at a steady rate as he slept from pure exashution.
//Yugi who did this to you? // Yami stood there for who knows how long.
"No...too much b-blood!" Yugi murmered in his sleep. Yami walked over to Yugi. He felt like he had a fever. Yami took over the body and felt Yugi's pain. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed an asprin. Took it, pulled himself into bed and left the body only to become transparent again.
The sun shone through the window. Yugi woke up feeling sickly.
"Motou your awake." Kaiba stood in the doorway with a gift basket.
"Kaiba I never thought I would see the day you carrying a gift basket," Yugi laughed in a muffled voice.
