[Yugi's thoughts]

"Deadly Deception- Chapter 6"- By Cherise Wheeler

Last time: [I can't believe this! A coma! Oh my gosh! I need to see him! I need to tell him I'm sorry! I'm coming Yami!] As Yugi made his journey to Yami's room...

(Setting: Outside of Room 24c; Yami's Room, Domino Medical)

Yugi's POV

[Here I am, right outside of Yami's room. I still can't believe that this all happened. If I ever get my hands on Marik, I swear...No, I shouldn't be thinking about this right now. Yami needs me...I hope...] I place my hand on the doorknob, turn it and almost burst into tears at the sight I see.

There, on the bed, was Yami. Surrounded by tubes and wires, in a room full of white. [He looks so small] I see his chest rise and fall with each assisted breath [Thank goodness for machines]. And of course, there is the thing that's really keeping him alive, his puzzle; our puzzle, lying upon his pale chest. His arms are all bandaged, from the wounds I feel that I caused. I cannot help but feel guilty...something that looked like me, did this to him. [I doubt he'll want to come back after what it said to him, "I hate you! I want you to STAY AWAY from me! I don't want to see you EVER again!" It hurt me just to think of those words once more, but instead of wallowing in my own self-pity, I walked over to a chair, and pulled it with me next to his bed. It was time him and I had a talk...

I grasp his hand, and am shocked to feel how cold it is. It's almost as if he's floating on the edge of life and death. He should be so much warmer than this, he should be awake and saying that it wasn't my fault, that everything is ok, but he's not...he's not a lot of things right now...

"Hi Yami. It's me, Yugi, you know, your light? Your aibou? I miss you Yami, and I'm so sorry about everything! Gosh, if I wasn't so weak then maybe I could have saved you, but I am weak, I'll never be strong like you are. You're everything to me; I love you with all my heart! How could you think that was me? I would never say those things to you! Please, just wake up! I need you! I need you to be awake, to be by my side, to protect me, to be my yami! You need to know that it wasn't me that said those things to you, Marik; he made a clone of me. He made a clone designed to hurt you, to crush you, and in the meantime he had me trapped, forced to watch everything, helpless, unable to do anything. And being the sick creep that he is, he let me go, shortly before you did this. I tried to stop you, I tried...but it was too late...please, I hope you're hearing this! I need you! Come back!" as I break down into sobs atop your chest.

I must have fallen asleep because my sobs, because I feel someone lightly tapping me on the shoulder. I lookup through my haze, and I see it's a nurse.

"Young man, I think it's time you go home for some rest. Don't worry son, Yami isn't going anywhere, he's under good care here, and he'll need his rest if he's to wake up anytime soon, right?" the nurse says while smiling sweetly. "Besides, I need to check on him, to see how he's doing. We'll let you know if anything changes. But, in the meantime, I suggest that you resume your daily routines, like school, hanging out with your friends, it could be a few days or months before your brother wakes up. So, I suggest you take my advice, and go home. Good bye now!" said the nurse. [Gosh, I hope she's right, and he wakes up in a few days, and not months! I miss him so much!] As I walk out of his room. When I walk out, I see my Grandpa and my friends eagerly waiting for news.

"Well, how is he doing Yugi?" said Tea.

"Ya, man, give us the scoop," said Joey.

"He's still resting guys. The nurse told me that they don't know how long it will be before he wakes up. She said it could be days or months, for all they know. I just hope it is days, I miss him so much." I say while struggling not to cry again.

"Hey man, it'll be ok and don't worry about it, cuz you got us, right guys? [I hear a chorus of "right's" or "you got it" after Joey's words, and I smile. I love my friends] In the da meantime though, it think we should head home. I'm beat man," said Joey, and I join in agreement as they're already starting to head out. [Man, they must be tired.] Even though I had a little nap in there, I'm still exhausted. It must be all the emotional stress.

My friends all say their goodbyes to me, and I respond in kind to them. Soon, however, it's just Grandpa and I, plus the two Kaiba brothers here, and I am further shocked when they both walk up to me.

"Hey Yugi, we just wanted to say how sorry we are and that we hope Yami will be okay soon," said Mokuba. [I wonder if Kaiba does care, or if Mokuba is speaking for him...] But, my thoughts are cut short, when someone speaks...wait! It's Kaiba!

"Ya Yugi, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call, ok?" said Kaiba. [Wow, that has got to be the nicest thing he's ever said to me. I'll remember that] As they both turn to leave.

"Thanks, both of you. I'll remember that, and I appreciate you both coming here." I said, and then hear Mokuba say, "No problem!" and Kaiba just waves.

"Well Yugi, I think it's about time we headed home. Are you up to going to school tomorrow, or should I call the school?" said Grandpa.

"No, it's okay Grandpa, I think I'll go to school tomorrow. It will keep my mind busy." I say as my Grandfather and I exit the hospital, on our way home...

}{ Well, another chapter taken care of. It's getting tough to motivate myself to write. I have so much to do before the summer is over and school starts again. But, I'm sure if I get plenty of nice reviews, urging me on, then I might feel more motivated (grin) Thanks for reading:)
