Chapter 9: Heart Ache Hits
Kaiba strolled into Yugi's room. He was still asleep, and it looked like he didn't have a peaceful one. Kari walked up behind Kaiba, Mokuba followed Kari.
"Seto it's time..." Kari said in a quiet voice.
"I know," Seto moaned and pulled up a chair next to Yugi's bed. "Let's wait ill he wakes."
Yugi turned over in his sleep, his face toward Kaiba.
"Motou..." Kaiba gently shook Yugi awake.
"Huh..." Yugi opened his eyes wearily.
"My bro has something to tell you..." Mokuba said.
"What...is it Seto?" Yugi looked in Seto's eyes. They seemed distant and sad.
"Yugi, your home..." words almost failed him, "your home, you know your grandpa is on vacation and took most of the stock with him right?"
"Yeah Seto, why?"
"Well Yugi, your home, it...it was vandilized." Seto's words gentle.
"We have to go and see it!" Yugi sat up too fast and fell faint against the pillow.
Kari stood at the end of the bed, tears in her eyes, Mokuba as quiet as he had ever been.
"There's nothing to see, it caught fire. No one was hurt. Lily is at Tea's, I got the call in the morning. All that was left was this..." Kaiba handed Yugi a burnt up photo album. Most of the pictures unrecanizable. The only one was of Lily, Mrs and Mr. Motou, and himself. Tears dripped onto the picture.
"That's all I had of dad. It's just like lossing him all over again," Yugi sobbed into his pillow.
"We'll leave you alone for a while, call if you need anything..." Seto left the room with Kari and Mokuba following.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Lily walked over to the Kaiba mansion gates. She pushed the buzzer and was imeadiatly let in. She ran to Yugi's room.
"Lily wait a minute, I have his deck here, you give it to him. Your mom had gone to a party last night. I made sure she's on her way here. He's a little..." Kaiba's words choked again.
"He's really upset. You might be able to help him." Mokuba's eyes were teared up.
"Ok," Lily gently pushed the door open. Yugi looked like he was in complete shock. He had no emotion left to give. He just sat there, clutching a almost burnt up picture.
"Yugi?" He didn't even turn to stare at her. "YUGI!"
"Huh?" Yugi turned and looked at Lily. Tears swelled in his eyes. He pulled the blanket over his head. Sobs could be heard from under it.
"WHERE'S YUGI?!" Tea's frantic voice was followed by many footsteps.
"Guy's be quiet..." Lily hushed them.
"Sorry," Joey apoligeized.
"It's ok, listen..." Lily told them. Uncontrolable sobbing stopped. Lily gently pulled the blanket off Yugi. He was asleep, still crying but asleep.
"Lily are you ok?" Ryou asked wrapping an arm around her.
"Yeah...I'm...I'm fine, " Lily burst into tears. Kari, Mokuba and Kaiba stood against the door.
Kari looked up at Seto, "Seto, I..." Kari leaned against her brother.
"I know sis," Kaiba wrapped her up in a hug.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
"Thankyou for harbering my son here." Mrs. Motou thanked.
"Yes, well, it was the least I could do. You already know about what happened to him with Jimmy right?"
"Yes Mr. Kaiba I do."
"Ok, would you like a coffee?" Kaiba offered.
"No thankyou."
"Would you and your family like to stay at the mansion for awhile. It's pretty big, and I don't use it all."
"You wouldn't mind?" Mrs. Motou asked.
"No, of course not!" Kaiba insisted waving his arms defensivly.
"Thankyou," Mrs. Motou bowed. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go and see my son." Mrs. Motou stood up and walked out of the large office. Kaiba stared at Mrs. Motou as she walked out. He could of swore he saw her sob.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
Mrs. Motou walked into the room.
"Your grandfather will be here in a few days. Could your friends leave the room Lily. I want to talk with you two privatly."
"Yes mom..." Lily moaned. She looked at the others and they left.
Mrs. Motou took a seat next to Lily.
"Come here honey," Mrs. Motou pulled her into a hug. "Your brother looks peaceful doesn't he?"
"Yeah, kinda." Lily hung her head.
"It's not your fault of what happened." Mrs. Motou rubbed her back.
"I know mom, it's just...look at him!" Lily sobbed into her mothers shoulder.
"I know...ssshh..." her mother tried to calm her down.
"Mom! WHY? WHY?" Lily continued to sob.
"Lily tone it down a little, your brother might wake up." Lily calmed down and looked at Yugi. He was pale. But not a sickly pale, a depressed pale.
"Mom..what are you doing here?" Yugi asked weakly.
"Honey dear, it's okay, mommies here!" She placed a hand on her sons forehead.
"Mom you don't need to fuss over me!" Yugi moaned.
"Yugi, you can barley stand." Yugi's mom had that look. "Seto Kaiba offered us a place to live until we get back on our feet."
/Why me... / Yugi moaned.
//Yugi you ok? // Yami asked.
/Yeah, / Yugi sighed.
"Listen mom, can I get some sleep?"
"Oh course dear, we all are..." she shot a look at Lily. Seto Kaiba stepped in and escourted Lily and Mrs. Motou to their rooms.
Joey and the others walked in.
"Hey guys..." Yugi coughed.
"Hey Yugi," Tea layed down next to him on the bed and wrapped an arm around him. He began to shiver. She squeezed tighter.
"Hey Yug, looks like you gotta girlfriend!"
"I guess your right Joey," Yugi replied before falling asleep. Tea stood up and they all left to go home. Serenity was invited to stay the night with Kaiba.
"Guys looks like my plan isn't going to go down for a while..." Serenity sighed.
"Yeah, but we'll make it work, somehow." Joey assured her and left wavin bye.

Serenity lay next to Kaiba in her silk nighty and turned on the TV. Channel thirteen again.
Updates on the Kame Game Shop incident shows that the fire was set on purpose. Latest suspect, Jimmy Ricevcry. Gasoline and matches were found inside a car around 11 pm yesterday. The licence was traced to Jimmy Ricecry. No word as yet to the Motou's reaction. Live from the burnt down Kame Game Shop, Shiela Cornflower.
A man appeared on TV in the news room. "Let's go to Kelly Summer Hill."
A woman a appeared on the TV screen. Seto and Serenity were surprised to see it was the front of the Kaiba Mansion.
Jimmy Ricecry was arressted last night for assult against Yugi Motou. Yugi Motou is currently residing at the Kaiba residence. No word yet of his condition. We now know that the Motou's are staying here aswell. Back to you Bob.
The man came on again. "On other news..." Seto turned off the TV. A look of pure anger surronded his face.
"I'll be right back Serenity." He got up, pulled on a house coat and took off downt the driveway in a limo. Once at the gates he got out and said, "YOU PEOPLE GET AWAY FROM MY PROPERTY OR I WILL HAVE THE POLICE COME!" They all left. Kaiba got into the limo and drove back up to the house where Serenity stood in front of the door with a silk house coat on. Kaiba took her into his arms. The next thing they knew there was a man taking pictures of them in romantic hold.
"KAIBA!" Serenity squiled.
"GET OUT! SECURITY!" Kaiba yelled, the reporter got up and was escourted out by security.
Kaiba strolled into Yugi's room. He was still asleep, and it looked like he didn't have a peaceful one. Kari walked up behind Kaiba, Mokuba followed Kari.
"Seto it's time..." Kari said in a quiet voice.
"I know," Seto moaned and pulled up a chair next to Yugi's bed. "Let's wait ill he wakes."
