Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the story. Thank you.
Yami remained in darkness for a few hours. Then, from out of nowhere, he heard Joey's voice.
"Hey, Pharaoh!" he nearly shouted. "Wake up, and see who we found here at the hospital!" Everything was blurred when he opened his eyes. Either my eyes are playing tricks on me, he thought, or that really is Yugi standing there. As everything came into focus, Yugi's face came into view.
"Hey, Pharaoh," he whispered. "How do you feel?"
"Yugi?" Yami asked hoarsely, clutching his heart. "How are you here?"
"Don't strain yourself, Pharaoh," Yugi whispered. A bandage was over the bullet hole on the side of his head. "When you left to duel Kaiba, I had come to and with the strength I had left, I called for an ambulance. Then, I became unconscious again for a few hours. They told me when I awakened; the bullet hadn't penetrated my skull, so that was a good chance of living. They had to perform a surgery to get it out before it reached my brain. Otherwise…" He trailed off, staring at Yami's shocked face. He laughed, as Yami slowly sat up.
"What happened to me?" he asked, looking up at Joey's worried face.
"I felt it, too," Yugi whispered. "The Summoned Skull's attack must have done something to you. It hit your heart, and it stopped it for a few hours. It felt like I experienced the same pain, since our hearts are connected. I was there in spirit with you, as you were there in spirit with me. I'm so sorry, Pharaoh."
"It's not your fault," Yami whispered, holding Yugi's hand. "I was with Ishizu, trying to figure out my past. So, mainly, it's my fault."
"It's not anyone's fault," Tea told the both of them. "The Pharaoh needs rest, now."
"He can rest in the Millennium Puzzle," Yugi said. "After all, he needs to be with me." Tea and Joey nodded, and soon, Yugi was back to his normal self. The Pharaoh was next to him that night, stroking his hair.
"Rest well, Yugi," he whispered. "We have to go and duel Kaiba once more. This time, we will win, together."
Yugi's back! Hooray! Will they win against Kaiba? Or will they fail again? Find out in Chapter 5!
