'Mind link'

"Deadly Deception- Chapter 10"- By Cherise Wheeler

Last time: "Nurse, I need to speak with Doctor Reynolds...I wish to go home now..." I say with a smile before pressing my lips to Yugi's in a tender kiss...

Yami's POV

/My soul feels bliss...that's the only word to describe this feeling. After all this time, I am given the privilege to taste the sweetness of my light. My heart soars that our mind link has been restored! / 'Yugi, I missed you so much. My heart has ached for you. I thank you for this feeling of bliss that I am feeling right now'

Yugi smiles as we break apart, just in time too, because Dr. Reynolds entered the moment after. 'I feel the same my yami; I haven't felt this feeling in so long. I'm so glad to have you again'

Dr. Reynolds enters and says, "Hello Yami, the nurse tells me that you wish to go home, hmmm, we'll have to see about that. Let me check your wounds to see how they've come along and if your time in the coma affected their healing at all. Do you wish to have your brother in here while I do this?"

'Yugi, do you wish to stay during this?'

'Yes Yami, I want to be here with you.' Yugi says while nodding.

"Yes, Yugi wishes to stay. You may proceed." I say then nod in consent.

The doctor removes my bandages and sees that my arms are in good condition. It appears as if they were not affected too badly during the coma. The wounds healed quite nicely, leaving only faint scars. /That is a good thing. /

"Well Yami, these look fine to me. I don't suppose why you wouldn't be able to go home today. Let's see how well your strength is...Can you stand up and walk around a bit for me?" Doctor Reynolds says while gesturing to the floor.

I stand slowly and carefully, and thankfully it requires little effort. /I had thought that it would be difficult to walk after being in bed so long.../ Once I am standing, I walk with careful precision toward the door and back to my bed, all the while taking slow and steady steps. I grin in victory when I see the doctor smile.

"Looks good Yami, I'll go get your Grandfather to sign you out. Congratulations! You're going home!" Doctor Reynolds says before leaving the room.

'You hear that Yami? You can finally go home!' I hear Yugi say across the link before he leans up and gives me a quick peck on the lips. I smile and hug him as if he were a lifeline. 'Thank you Yugi.'

(Setting: Game shop, 1 hour later.)

"Well, here we are, welcome home Yami!" Grandpa says with a smile. "Would you like anything to eat? Drink? Let me know all right. If you're hungry, I can cook your favorite food for you!"

I smile and say, "No thank you Grandpa, I think I'll just go upstairs and rest. I am a little fatigued to be honest." I nod to Yugi and Grandpa, and then proceed to walk up the stairs. I reach the top of the stairs and open the door to our room, and freeze as the memories come back again. All of the images and emotions hit me at once, the sadness, the loneliness, the pain, the anger, the knife, the blood, the peace...All of it. I fight the urge to collapse and cry. /I cannot give in, it was in the past.../ I sit there on the floor, remembering everything, silently suffering, when I hear a knock on the door...

"Yami, may I come in? It's me, Yugi."

"It's open," I say before staring off again...I can hear Yugi enter and he gasps when he sees me.

'Yami, are you all right?'

'Yes, my light, I am fine. It's just the memories; they just came back to me, entering this room again. Seeing the chair, and the spot on the floor...it's hard...but I'll be all right. Would you like to come and sit with me on the bed?'

'Of course, do you need help?'

I pause and then say with a smile, 'Yes, I would love your help.' Yugi then helps me up and leads me over to the bed.

"So, aibou, how have you been? How has school been? Tell me everything." I say. /I wish to know how he has been, I have missed so much.../

"Everything has been fine Yami, school has been fun. We got assigned this HUGE project on Egypt and I did my project on the Pharaohs of Egypt. I had a lot of fun on it and I received an A for a grade. I was quite pleased. Plus, it was pretty easy too, it helped having a Yami that was from Egypt and was a Pharaoh. As for me, I've been all right. I've been spending a lot of time with the gang. It's been fun, but other than that nothing special has happened." Yugi says. /Hmmm, that must have been interesting to do a project on Egyptian Pharaohs. Yugi definitely did not have any problems with that. /

We lay in comfortable silence for a long while, Yugi resting his head on my chest, and I, stroking his hair. It is nice; relaxing...but it is broken when Yugi speaks...

"Yami, I don't mean to disturb this peaceful silence, but I need to ask you something. You may not want to hear it, but it needs to be said. What are we going to do about Marik? He can't just get away with what he did to you and to us. He has to be stopped Yami, I don't want to ever lose you..."

I feel a burst of rage when I hear Marik's name and then respond by saying, "I do not know Yugi, but I know he will be stopped. I cannot allow him to exist for what he has done. As soon as my full strength has returned to me, I will deal with him, I promise my light, but for now, I must rest..."

"Sleep well Yami, I will be here with you. I need some sleep myself. Oh and Yami, I'm so glad you're home!" Yugi says as he snuggles closer to me.

"So am I, aibou, so am I..." I say before drifting off to a dreamless sleep...

Well, there you have it folks, chapter 10! Oh boy! So, did you all like the fluffy goodness? I hope so, let me know and please review;) Ja ne!
