Thanks all who hath reviewed!

Okay, I'm going to try something that will hopefully get you all to review more… yes, I've sent his done before, (and it works!) so to all you who reviewed the last chapter:

Vivia: One does try to make is suspenseful ^_^;; thanks for reviewin'!

Pyrodragoon2006: I did notice Yugi seems to be getting hurt all the time, they go back and forth in this story, is that okay? That's all I'm going to tell you ^_~

Ethermental: Lol, yes, I liked the arrow. Think it worked? I know the last one was a tad short, for purposes of the cliff hanger, and unfortunetly, this one is just as short, but the next one (yes, it's already written) is actually rather long, probably one of my longer ones. Hm… so far I'm working on chapter 13, so I think there'll be about… 3 or four more chapters after that? I know where I'm going with this, which is a plus, so you still haaaave… 7ish more chapters wow… this is my longest story… thanks for your faithful reviews!

Dinah: MWHAAA! You'll just have to read and find out if Yami is okay! Is Bakura nice… he's…alright, he's still his Bakura self, but, well, you'll see ^_^

Thanks again to all reviewers!

  Seto frowned at his little brother, but Mokuba knew better. He knew his brother was worried for him, he knew his brother cared, even if he didn't always show it. "Mokuba…" He didn't know where to start. Okay, why not start where most parents start? "I know we haven't talked much about it, but I think your feeling better enough to." Seto took a deep breath before continuing, his eyes blazing with anger, worry and relief. "If you EVER do that to me again…"

   Mokuba grinned at sat up to give his brother a big hug. "Don't worry." Mokuba said, "I'll do my best not too, if you do your best not to get caught up in work as much, deal?"

  Seto smiled at his little brother and hugged him has best as he could with him attached to the bed by wires. "Deal."

  It was dark, only one lone candle in the middle of the room gave off what little light there was. A figure sat beside the candle, entranced. The light flickered, almost as though it was going to go out, but then continued to go on. The figured narrowed its eyes towards the candle and mumbled something under its breath.

  "Yami…" Yugi gulped and reached out a hesitant hand to his partner.

  Yami said nothing, did nothing.

  Yugi took a step toward his friend, not quite sure what to do. "Yami?"

  No response.

  'Screw it…' Yugi ran to Yami and threw his arms around him, crying his heart out. "Oh,Yami!IthoughtIlostyouandJoeysaidyouweren'tgoingotmakeitandIwassoworriedandwhenIcameinhereyouweren'thereandIwasinthisroomandithadsomanyvoicesbutIheardyours!areyouokay?"

  Yugi looked up and saw Yami gazing down at him. But his eyes – oh his eyes. His eyes almost seemed void of any emotion, and yet, and yet there was so much emotion in them, that Yami was going through so much, he didn't even recognize is best friend. Yugi stared up at Yami with dismay and hurt. A lone tear rolled down his pale cheek and landed on Yami's black shirt.

  Chelsea sighed. One more comatose patient to check – then it all starts over again. Don't get her wrong, of course, it's not that she disliked her job, it's just that one can get tired of checking on comatose patients for one's job. Well, actually, she alternated with six other girls. Other times she would clean, feed awake patients and other various jobs. Her and the other six girls were trainees.

  She gave a small, shy smile to one of the doctors that she passed in the hall. She reached the last door in the hall and quietly pushed it open. Whenever she came to check this room, it was never empty of visitors. In fact, one of the friends asked if the boy – his little brother she assumed – could stay with the older boy in the coma. She had heard form the other nurses that as soon as the small boy had learned of his brother's state, he had stopped listening to everyone, stopped talking, and pretty much stopped living. When she would visit, she could see him crying sometimes, but nothing else. Her heart went out to the small boy, and she agreed to ask the doctor.

  Nothing had changed much, the brown haired boy, Tristan she'd heard him called, was slouched in a chair in one corner of the room. She carefully tip-toed over to the older boy in the left bed. She remembered Tristan the most – she had his number, some flowers, and other small assorted gifts. She was flattered, really, but for the many times she had seen him and his other two friends in there, she really didn't want a accident prone boyfriend.

  Chelsea bent down to check the monitors. Nothing different there – as usual. She sighed and stood up. As she turned, a light sound reached her ear. Her green eyes turned, startled. She carefully stepped closer to the sleeping patient. There it was again! Louder this time.

   Another step.

   She couldn't make out words just yet.

   One more step.

  She was right beside his bed now, she leaned over and carefully put her ear in front of his mouth. "Yugi….wait for me…"

~*~*~*~*~

Yami blinked. His once dull, red eyes turned more violet then red. He looked down at the small figure hugging him and smiled. "Yugi… you came."

   Yugi blinked back the tears and nodded. "I couldn't leave you, Yami. We're best friends!"

  Yami's smile broadened and he nodded. "Of course, Aibou. Go back to your soul room, I'll follow."

  Yugi grinned and stood up. "Okay," He stopped and looked around. "Um… how do I get back?"

  Yami chuckled and pointed to the left. The candle brightened for a second to reveal a small, black door. Yugi shrugged and walked towards the door. He stopped with his hand on the doorknob and he turned to face Yami. "You're going to come back soon, right?:

  Yami nodded and gave his aibou an encouraging smile. "Of course Yugi."

  Yugi grinned and without a backwards glance, opened the door and walked in the door only to disappear.

  Yami smiled softly. "Wait for me."

Short short, but I PROMISE the next one is a lot longer! It's like, five times longer ^_^;;; so please review and you might inspire me to put it up faster~
