Chapter 14: Good News Destroyed By The Bad
Doctors had been rushed in and out of Yugi's room for the last two weeks.
"Wat da heck is goin' on?" Joey cornered Tea.
"Oh JOEY!" Tea slumped into his shoulder and cried roughly.
"Tea tell us!" Serenity back away for only a second. Mrs. Motou walked out of the room.
"I need each and everyone of Yugi's friends in his room now. He wants to tell you something. Tea you may choose to stay behind," Mrs. Motou's voice dead.
"No, I -I need to be there so he can be strong..." Tea let go of Joey. Tristan, Trista, and Duke were summoned to the mansion. The house itself seemed dead.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Everyone gathered around Yugi's bed. His eyes opened painfully.
"Hey..." He said once everyone was there.
"Wat's this about Yug?" Joey asked.
"Guys...I need to...tell you something." Yugi's voice barly above a whisper.
"You ready to tell them Yugi?" Kaiba asked. His voice too seemed dead.
Yugi nodded and said, "yes. Listen...I'm sick."
"We know you are Yug. But you'll get better."
"No Joey...I won't. It's been too long." His eyes narrowed down to the covers and Tea pulled him into a gentle hug and kissed him gently on the forehead. That too seemed painful for him.
"Listen, I have...I have..." tears welled up in his eyes.
"You have what Yug?" Joey asked.
"I have-" Yugi's voice fadded in and out. His eye lids opening and closing.
"Yugi?" Tristan and Duke said at the same time.
"Before...I tell you...I have to say..." Yugi's voice choked as he gave a ragged cough and had to take a second to catch his breath.
"Take your time. We can wait." Tea rubbed his back gently. Mrs. Motou held in a hug by her father, and Lily held by Ryou. Both seemed to be crying. Mr. Motou too lost for words.
"You are the most wonderful people I could have knowen...I wouldn't of made it through each tounament...without...all of you. Remember that I will always be in your hearts. Don't ever give...up on your dreams..." for the first time they noticed Yami standing there. Tears in his own eyes. They looked back at Yugi. "Live your lives as you normally would and don't...be sad."
"What's this all about Yug? I don't understand." Joey stood there, holding the bed for support. "It's not like you're dying."
"But...Joey...I am. I've- I have lucemia (Scuse my spelling!). It's spread too fast to even stop it. I wanted to spend as much time with you guys as possible. Spend happy days with you. But lately that's been impossible until you told me of that article." Yugi closed his eyes, his breathing was ragged and harsh but he was still awake.
"Yug you can't," Joey slumped against Tristan. Trista and Trisha (WHO I OWN!) clung to each other.
"Joey, everyone else, mom, Lily, grandpa please understand that I love you." Yugi continued to slip in and out of darkness. The heart monater beeped weakly. Kaiba on the verge of tears held Mokuba tightly.
"Seto...I..." Mokuba lost for words cried into his brothers chest.
"It's going to be ok, we'll make it as comfortable as possible for Yugi." Kaiba was now crying along with the rest.
"Please don't be sad. I don't want to go like this," Yugi's weak pleading voice was too much for Joey to handle. He ran over to the side of the bed and picked Yugi up by the collar of his neck.
"YOU CAN'T DIE! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND! YOU HELPED ME WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD! YOU HELPED ME TO SAVE MY SISTER! YOU SAVED MAI! YOU SAVED ME! YOU CAN'T GO NOW! WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO JUST QUIT!" Mrs. Wheeler ran up and pulled her son away from Yugi. She pulled him into a hug and let him cry.
"Oh honey..." she herself was crying.
"Let's let him rest. Tea would you like to stay with him?" Mrs. Motou asked. Tea nodded her head.
"Wait...Yami already has...already been given the puzzle and the body...Joey I want you to have my treasured card...Dark Magician. Tea you get Dark Magician Girl. Tristan, Duke, and the rest, I can only give something I treasure, the hope that you can live your lives without being sad all your life...I'll be with my dad. Lily I want...you to have...this," he handed her a burnt up photo album. He slipped into darkness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
"God!" Tea cried into Yami's shoulder.
"Tea, I-I don't know what to say." Yami slumped against the wall.
"YAMI WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GROW OLD TOGETHER!" Tea cried harder into his shoulder. Yami held her tight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Joey clutched Yugi's hand gently.
"Hey..." Yugi opened his eyes.
"Hey..." Joey's tears stained the comforter.
"Don't cry, please? I can't stand to see you go through this." Yugi's own eyes filled with tears. "Can I ask a favor?"
"Anything Yug," Joey replied wiping away the tears.
"Take me to the garden, I want to see it." Yugi asked. Joey lifted Yugi's frail body into the wheeler chair and pushed him to the garden.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Over the next week everyone did everything they could to make Yugi's last days joyful ones.
"Thanks you guys," Yugi said with a weak smile. His body a ghostly white.
"Your welcome," Tea replied trying to fight back the tears that engulfed her. Yami stood beside Yugi.
"Yami come closer..." Yugi bent down and Yugi whispered something in his ear.
"I will..." Yami replied. He placed a hand on Yugi's forehead. "You should go back to bed."
"I think I will...I feel really tired all of a sudden." Yugi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Kaiba had become acustomed to put an IV in Yugi's arm and hook up the heart monator. Kaiba pulled the drapes around Yugi's bed closed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
The next morning Tea and Yami went to check on Yugi to find Lily, Joey and Mrs. Motou sitting there in silence. They looked at the heart monator. He was just a flat line.
"He went in the night," Joey told Tea and Yami. Yami knelt down beside Yugi and ran a hand against his cold dead skin of his forehead.
Kaiba walked in and knew what had happened by the looks on everyones faces. Kaiba handed them a note.
"He asked me to ask Tea to read this to everyone. I wrote it down. He was too weak to write." Tea took the note and waited for the others to pile in.
To Tea, Yami, Joey, Mai, Trista, Trisha, Kari, Mokuba, Seto, Jeoy, Serenity, Mrs. Wheeler, Mom, Lily, Grandpa, Duke, Tristan, Isis, Marik, Odieon, and Rene. Thank you for the wonderful time I had with you. My life wouldn't have been worth living without you. I never thought it would be me who would be the one to leave early. I figured that last night I knew I was going to fade out forever. I guess I was right for the last time. I will always love you all. Yugi.
Yugi's note was short but beautiful. Everyone cried as Tea read this. Once she put the note down she fell into the tears and cried into Yugi's chest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
The news of Yugi Motou's death, they all now knew he had a Yami, spread far and wide. Every duelist who ever knew him, or dueled him, except for the rare hunters morned his death. School bullies felt guilt beyond all guilt and now they coudn't even say sorry to the boy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Kaiba turned on the TV to the news. Everyone in the room watched.
The news of Yugi Motou's death has spread like wild fire. No one knows just how to react. It seems that this young boy fought the cancer until his very last day. No one knows when a funeral has been planed. It's sad to say we have lost a great and pure spirit. This is-is Sandy Sunray reporting live from-from the news room.
The news readers were too in tears. Tea leaned into Yami as he pulled her into a hug. Serenity cried into Seto's shoulder. He was trying to hold back tears of pure pain.
Doctors had been rushed in and out of Yugi's room for the last two weeks.
"Wat da heck is goin' on?" Joey cornered Tea.
"Oh JOEY!" Tea slumped into his shoulder and cried roughly.
