Chapter 9

I'll Stop It Some How

Barking was heard in the distance. Yugi stiffened in fear. 'No! No! No!'

"I want out of here!!!" Yugi said running for the door.

"Come on Yugi don't be shy they wont hurt you." Tea said smiling. Yugi pounded on the door.

"NO! I want out of here!!! Let me out! PLEASE!!!" Yugi cried begging. Yugi turned around and saw big dogs running toward them. Tea was too busy playing with one of the dogs he didn't notice Yugi trying to climb a rope fence. He had climbed a metal one before running from a dog so he thought it would work. Only this time he slipped in his rush panic.

Yami and Alas walked back to the office and noticed Yugi and Tea weren't there.

"Hey Tristan did you see where Tea went and did she have a little boy with her?" Tristan looked up from his work.

"Uh yeah I think they were heading to the yard."

"Not the yard were the dogs are." Yami asked panicked.

"Yeah I think so."

"Shit." Yami said angered. He had told her not to show him the dogs she walked. Alas gasped. Immanently they headed for the yard. Yami slammed the door open. "TEA! Where's Yugi?!"

"Oh stop being such a worry wort he's right over...well he was right there."

"DAMN IT TEA!!!" Yami yelled then his anger quickly turned to worry then he started to panic. "Yugi! Yugi where are you?!" Tea looked confused. Alas ran up to Tea.

"Take the dogs into another room now!!!"

"Why should I they need exercise?!" Tea argued.

"TEA! MOVE THE DOGS!" Yami yelled from where he was looking. Yami found Alas's hat that Yugi was wearing on the ground. "YUGI!!! Where are you?!" Alas gasped at the hat.

"Oh no." Then she cupped her hands together and started to yell Yugi's name. (If any of you are confused the yard is inside. Like a huge turf inside gym for the police dogs and when they work out ok? GOOD ) Yami found a pile of blood and gasped.

"Alas." Yami said weakly. She covered her mouth.

"It couldn't have been one of the dogs." She said softly. They followed the thin trail of blood and gasped at the sight before them. Yugi was huddled in the corner behind all the work out equipment.

"Yugi?" Yami walked up to him. Yugi's shirt was soaked with blood. "Oh no!!! Alas call 911! NOW!" A sharp pole was impaled through Yugi's chest. The pole was used to pick up trash on the days they cleaned up parks. "Yugi?" Yugi groaned.

"Y...Ya...mi?"

"Oh Ra Yugi what happened? No never mind don't speak. Just relax but don't go back to sleep ok?" Yugi nodded slightly tears streaming down his cheeks. "Shhh..." Yami walked over and sat down next to him and very carefully wrapped his arm around Yugi hoping to comfort him. Yami softly hummed a song hoping to keep Yugi calm. He knew if he panicked so would Yugi. Alas walked up to them after calling the ambulance and gasped when she saw why he was bleeding.

"Oh no Yugi." Then angered she left. She marched up to Tea steaming. "What the hell did you do?! Was this some sort of sick joke!!!? You are supposed to watch him! He was a terrified child! Yami told you not to show him the dogs and now look what happened!!!" Alas slapped Tea, which sent her spiraling to the ground. "You witch!" (I'm trying to go a little easy on the cussing especially right there I just don't think she would have cussed in the same room Yugi was in. Though if it was me it would have been a different story ) Alas turned and walked back over to Yami and Yugi. Yugi breathing was growing shallow and it was hard for him to keep his eyes open. Yami continued to hum softly. Yugi face scrunched in pain. Alas looked so worried. "Oh Yugi everything will be alright." She said soothingly. Yugi was in a daze drifting back and forth between consciousness. Blood loss was making him sluggish and tired. When they heard the ambulance arrive Alas sighed in relief and got up to show them the room.

"There here Yugi. You're going to be alright." Yami reassured. The medics pushed away Yami and turned their attention to the small boy.

"Hey there little one just relax we are going to cut off some of the pole so just relax." One of the paramedics said gently. After cutting the ends pole they carefully lifted Yugi on a board slightly side ways and placed him on the stretcher.

"Alas you go with him. I need to talk to Tea I'll just drive the car ok?" Alas smiled and nodded and got in the back with Yugi. While they headed to the ambulance Yami went to find Tea.

"Tea." Yami said sternly.

"Yami did you see what that bitch did to me?!" Tea asked holding her cheek. Yami's eyes angled.

"Alas is a loving person, Tea you are the bitch! You showed Yugi the dogs when I specifically told you not to! You could have killed Yugi!!! He is a small boy and you are a grown woman you were supposed to watch him!" Joey came into the room.

"Hey man what's with da yellin'?" Joey asked confused.

"I told Tea not to show Yugi the dogs and she did. Now some how Yugi got a trash picker stick impaled through his chest." Yami said trying to keep his cool.

"WHAT?! Is Yugi ok?"

"I don't know he was just takin' in. I'm going down there to meet Alas want to come?" Joey nodded.

"Of course let me grab my coat." Joey said running out of the room.

"Tea how could you?" Yami said shaking his head. "I trusted you with him. You just broke that little trust I never want to see you again." Yami said grabbing his coat and walking out the door with Joey to his car.

In the ambulance they had placed an oxygen mask over Yugi's nose and mouth and were covering the pole to help secure it and stop the bleeding. Once they go to the hospital they rushed Yugi inside. Alas walked over and signed Yugi in and waited in the waiting room.

The doctor rushed Yugi into the OR. They prepped Yugi for surgery to carefully remove the pole.

Yami rushed inside with Joey right behind him.

"Alas is there any word on him?" Alas shook her head. Her face was red from crying.

"I told Yugi that he would be safe with Tea." She sobbed. Yami quickly walked over to her and wrapped a comforting arm around her.

"Hey now everything will be ok." Joey sat next to Yami.

"They just rushed him into the operating room. Oh god's Yami I hope he's ok."

After an agonizing 12 hours the delicate operation was over. The doctor came out exhausted.

"Yugi will be fine." He told the nervous group. "However the pole had punctured a lung and has damaged his spinal cord. He is on life support and will be on it for a while. His lung had collapsed in the OR but don't worry he's doing better. His spinal cord has been scraped up pretty bad. He will be able to walk don't worry about that. He will probably have some back pain for some time. But it shall heal with time. He's one lucky kid just another inch to the right and it would have punctured his heart. You can see him follow me." Yami and the gang stood up and followed the doctor.

When they reached the hospital they saw the small boy with a huge machine that was currently breathing for him. Alas sobbed as she walked over to Yugi. She held his hand and saw the I.V. in his hand. She brought it up and gently kissed the top of his hand.

"Oh Yugi." Yami smiled sadly and comforted her.

Hope you liked it. Man poor Yugi. PLEZ R&R THANX!!!
