A/N: Hi! I just want to say that it'll take me a while to post the next couple of chapters, since school starts tomorrow but I'll try to update as often as I can.

Me no own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 5

Unexpected Guest

The girl

I opened my eyes and found myself somewhere different than when I fell unconscious. I looked around to see if I recognized where I was and I did almost immediately. I was at the hospital! Who managed to take me here? I looked around once more and I noticed a small mound of papers and a pen next on the nightstand.

Thought you might need these...

Hope you're all right.

I smiled knowing who it was. He has always watched over me and I'm glad. I wonder why he wasn't there for me last night. His sister wasn't there either. That's when I felt that someone was holding my hand. I looked at my hand and saw a tri-colored haired boy holding it, he was sleeping. His head rested on his arm and his other hand holding mine. I took my hand away from his and tried to get up but couldn't.

I checked my wounds and saw that they were stitched. I also noticed that I was wired and I had an IV in my left hand. Was I in the ICU? Was I really hurt that bad? All I remember is drifting off in the alley and later I remember waking up briefly and I'm being carried by someone, all I could see were crimson eyes looking at me with worry. I wanted him to leave me alone but somehow I couldn't move to let him to know what I wanted.

I looked around to see if there was anyone and saw another boy, an identical version of the first one, resting over a mess of papers over a small table. I already knew what the papers were about...my files and my history. I hope that they didn't read all of it. I just don't want that many people to know about that accident.

"Sweetheart! You're all right!" I heard a familiar voice say. The door to my room was open, revealing my latest set of parents, my birth parents. They had come from their business trip just to see how I was doing. I'm glad they did. Her loud greeting woke up the boy next to me and the one in the chair.

"We came as soon as we could. I'm just glad that you survived," said my dad coming to the bed to hug me. He tried to but I pulled away. He seemed slightly disappointed but then he knew why. "I'm sorry honey. I forgot...it's just that I'm so happy that you survived after all that blood loss and where the wounds struck...just a bit more and we could've lost you...and you recovered so quickly too. You always were a quick healer," he said. I know it's family and that I shouldn't pull away but...I don't know who to trust anymore. Everyone I cared for in my previous adoptive families told me that they won't hurt me and that they would protect me. I allowed them to hug me and act all affectionate on me...but they always ended up hurting me anyway. To care about someone and to trust someone are two completely different things in my book.

"Thank you for taking our little girl to the hospital young men. We don't know how but we will repay you," said mom.

"Your 'thank you' was enough miss..." the taller one of the two began.

"Tyler," mom finished for him.

"What are your names then?" asked dad.

"I'm Yugi and that is my brother...Yami," the smaller one replied. Yugi's eyes were an odd color as well...they were amethyst. He looked like a pure and innocent kid. Yami on the other hand was something else. Full of mystery from what I can see.

"Morning...how is she?" asked my usual doctor while walking in.

"See for yourself!" said mom.

"Ah! You've gotten thru the night! Excellent. You may go home after an X-ray and a brief examination," he said. He took of the wires and a nurse removed the IV from me. He motioned me to follow him. The examination and the X-rays were done quickly and pretty soon I found myself in my hospital room once more.

"Here honey," said my mom while handing me some clothes for me to wear. I took them and headed to the bathroom to change. I smiled happily as I quickly changed and hoped that my parents would stay a while longer.

"We'll be here for the rest of the day so we'll have some time to spend together," said dad as I exited the bathroom in my favorite blue jeans and tee. Mom handed me my winter jacket and asked me what I wanted to do.

I went towards the nightstand, uncapped the pen and wrote on one of the pieces of paper 'I just want to eat right now,' and showed it to my parents. Mom laughed a little and agreed and so did dad. I showed Yugi and Yami what I wrote and they smiled.

"You haven't eaten in almost two days...so I guess right now you're hungrier than Joey when he eats regularly," Yugi said. I smiled at the comment but I can't believe what he just said. I've been out for almost two days. That wasn't good. I took another sheet of paper and wrote down something else and showed it to them. They were surprised but said no politely right away, mom came over and I signed what I told them.

"We are not taking no for an answer," she said. Yami seemed confused about what she said since she didn't even look at the paper. "We taught her sign language to communicate with us. She's using pen and paper to communicate with you since you don't know it," she explained. Yami's then understood and said something that surprised me and mom.

"Do you think you could teach Yugi and me?" he asked.

"Well...I'm surprised. Not many people she's met are willing to learn it so when they talk to her she'd have to use pen and paper to answer. We taught her so that when she talks with us or her grandfather she won't have to them. If you're really interested I'll be glad to teach you. I'll teach you some of the basic ones if you join us for breakfast, our treat, and I'm not taking no for an answer," mom said.

"All right then. We'll join you," Yugi said. I smiled and so did mom. Dad motioned us to follow him and we headed downstairs. On the way Dad and I had a small conversation of what happened two nights ago and mom was teaching Yugi and Yami how to fingerspell and a few other signs.

We finally reached the parking lot and there was the limo waiting for us. Both boys seemed surprised when dad stopped in front of it and asked us to go inside.

"Our family owns mayor electronics company," he explained. "Now...are we going to have breakfast or are you just going to stand there?" after that comment both boys snapped out of their trance-like state and got in. We had breakfast in a nice restaurant downtown and I well...ate a lot.

"I was right then," Yugi said. I knew what he was referring to and managed a small smile. After breakfast we dropped them off at their grandfather's game shop.

"By the way...what's your name?" Yami asked as he got out of the car. I finger spelled my name carefully hoping that he understood.

"Samantha?" he asked. I nodded in reply. "It suits you," he said with a smile. I turned away hoping that he didn't see the faint pink tint I felt on my cheeks.

'You can call me Sam, for short,' I signed back.

"We'll see you soon then Sam. It was nice to meet you," Yugi said. I waved goodbye and we headed home.

It was the best day I've ever had in a while. Mom, dad and me stayed at home and watched movies together. They watched me play the guitar and we shared time as a family...something I've never had before. This made me apreciate them more than I already have. I still won't let them act parent-child affectionate on me. I guess I'm still afraid of getting hurt by someone I care about. I'm beginning to trust them but I don't trust them much to allow them to treat me like that.

They left shortly before I went to bed. I had a hard time falling asleep but after a while I finally managed to drift off a bit after nine. I couldn't sleep well...something was bothering me.

It was about midnight when I woke up to a strange sound coming from outside. I got up quietly and walked to the window to see what it was about. I saw two familiar guys walking outside, they never fail to come. It's usually weekly but I guess that surviving that I opened the window slightly and overheard them.

"I can't believe she survived!" said one of them.

"I know! Whoever found her will pay for that," replied the second one. I can't belive they're still after me! I better get out of here before the catch me.

"Do you think that she's asleep?"

"She should, I beat her up pretty badly," said the second one sounding sure of himself. I better do the old pillows on the bed trick. I hope they fall for it again. Sometimes they can be real dumb. I walked toward the door and opened it slightly letting myself out. I took the emergency backpack that was next to the door and began to walk away. I left a note for Impa, my nanny you could say, and left. I ran a couple of blocks not knowing where I was headed. I looked over my shoulder and they weren't after me...yet. I stopped briefly to catch my breath and ran off once more...not having a single clue of where I was going.

I stopped a second time and looked behind me. I could hear faint footsteps. They were near but not near enough. I looked ahead and saw the game shop. I know it's late but I hope Yugi or Yami can help. I ran up to the shop hoping that those guys that were after me hadn't seen me yet.

Yugi

I kept hearing a faint knock at the door. I woke up and found out that I fell asleep on the couch. I got up and walked to the door of the shop and saw a familiar person standing there.

"Sam!" I said quietly. I opened the door quietly hoping nobody had woken up yet and let her in. She entered the shop quietly and hid behind the counter. I wonder what's going on? I locked the door and looked for Sam.

"What is it? Why are you here so late?" I asked in a whisper. She thought for a moment and pulled out a small pad of paper and a pencil. She wrote something and looked over the counter...checking on something. Then she pulled out a small flashlight from her backpack and turned it on. I was able to read what she wrote now.

They're after me. I escaped so they wouldn't catch me. I left a note to Impa telling her where I went and I was wondering if I could spend the rest of the night here...if you guys don't mind.

"We don't mind...grandpa would but as long as they're after you..." I began but she placed her finger on my lips, keeping me quiet. That's when I heard the footsteps approaching the shop.

"This is great! First she tricks us with an old trick...and now this," said one of the voices.

"We'll get her soon, don't worry. Now let's get out of here. This place scares me a bit," said a second voice. They began to walk away, I was going to get up but Sam motioned me to stay down. When Sam got up I did as well and walked her inside.

"You'll stay in the guest room," I said quietly while going upstairs. We finally reached the door to the guest room and showed her in. She walked in and looked back at me gratefully.

"Your welcome Sam. Goodnight," I said quietly. She nodded and signed 'Same here' in reply. I walked out of the room and closed the door carefully and bumped into someone on the way to my room.

"Are you all right Yugi? I sensed some worry in our link and I woke up to check on you," Yami said.

"I'm fine. I just had a bad dream," I lied quickly. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight Yami," I said while entering my room.
