Chapter 11

Soon weeks later, Yami got strong enough to leave the hospital. Yugi was probably the most excited about all this. "There we go." The nurse said as she finally undid the last IV "Now you are all ready to go home now."

"Thank you and the doctors for everything you have done for me and Yugi." Yami said with a polite smile and a nod.

"No problem. You've become quite famous around here. You and Chirp." Yami just put on his famous smirk. Chirp, who was flying around the room excitedly, happily landed on Yami's shoulder and nuzzled him. Yami smiled and petted Chirp on the head.

"I'm very thankful to you. It's really true that big things come in small packages." Chirp chirped a happy chirp.

"You're just gonna love the Game Shop. I know just where to put your cage too," Yugi said happily as he smiled at Chirp.

Chirp flew to his shoulder and nuzzled him. Yami laughed. "So how do we get back home? Is your Grandfather or your mother getting us?"

"Both of them, that way we can get things in the car faster."

Yami nodded. "Okay just wondering."

Yugi smiled, but it turned solemn and started to cry a little. "I can't believe it. We're finally going home. You...We're...going back to normal..."

Yami smiled and pulled Yugi into his arms. "I know, Yugi." he said.

"It's over...no more worrying...-breaks into happy sobs-" Yami smiles and hold onto him more tightly. Chirp flew onto Yami's arm and pulled on Yugi's bangs. "H-hey..." Yugi said. Chirp chirped at him and pulled again. Yugi laughed, "Cut that out now." Chirp stopped and perched on his cage, signaling that he was ready to go.

"I think Chirp wants us to head home." Yami said with a smile.

"Yeah," Yugi sniffled as he stopped crying. "He's ready to get out of here I'm sure."

"Hey guys, ready to go?" Yuri said with a smile as her and Grandpa walked in.

Yami nodded. "Yes, I miss home already." he said.

Both of them laughed. "We've missed having you there." Yugi carefully put Chirp in his cage and shoulder his bag of stuff. Grandpa put Yami's things in a Personal Belongings bag. "Alright then, let's go check you out," he said with a smile. Yami followed them out of the room, never looking back.

Soon after they were in the car heading back to the Game Shop. They were half way there, when Yugi felt something against his shoulder. He turned and smiled when he saw his pharaoh sleeping there. He's had it rough these past months, Yugi thought with a smile. Yugi smiled at what was plan for his other once they arrived home. He had to stop himself from laughing out loud. He could just picture the look on his other's face. He felt Yami nuzzle closer to him. He giggled a little. "It's great to have you back..." he whispered mostly to himself.

As the car near the Game Shop is when Yami finally awoke. "Aibou... Are we home yet...?" he asked groggily.

"Yeah, we're home," he said with a smile. He got a bit excited as he remembered what awaited them. Yami looked at him a bit confused.

"What's got you so excited all the sudden?"

"Oh nothing." Yugi said with a big smile.

Yami just shrugged it off. "Why don't you two boys go in first?" suggest Grandpa.

Yugi just nodded, trying to keep his composure. Yami look confused again. "Seriously, what's going on, Yugi?" he asked.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," he said trying to hide it.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Yugi said as he open the door and started to gently push Yami inside "Let's just get inside already. It's cold out here and we don't want you to get sick again."

"Alright..." Yami said skeptically as he stepped forward. Suddenly... "What in Ra!"

"Ahh... Hey Pharaoh." Joey said with a huge smile on his face. He was standing in the middle of a decorated living room.

"What's going on?"

"Nothin'. It's...It's my sister's birthday that's it..."

"Joey, cut the act." a familiar female voice said from behind the couch.

"Anzu, what's going on here?" Yami said starting to get a bit annoyed.

"Yeah man, cause you couldn't find a hiding spot in time, you mess this all up." said Tristan as he came from the closet.

"Ah... Surprise?" Joey said, trying to put on his best smile "W-Welcome home?" Yami was still confused and then Yugi walked in behind him.

"That's a little too late for that, Puppy." said Seto as he and Mokuba came from under the stairs.

"Aibou...what's going on?" Yami sighed.

"Well..." Yugi started.

"We decided we wanted to throw a surprised Welcome Home party but thanks to Joey it didn't turn out as plan." explain Tristan.

"Oh. That's what this is all about. Thank you anyway."

"Can we get on with this party?" asked an annoyed Bakura.

"Everyone come on out. It's over," Yugi sighed. Surprisingly everyone Yugi and the others knew and made friends with was now in the room.

"It seems you put a lot of trouble into this Hikari." He pulled Yugi to his side. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Yami-chan." Yugi said with a smile. Yami smiled back and went further into the room, playfully dragging Yugi with him.

There were so many familiar faces in the crowd; a familiar four women were there too. "Aibou, aren't those four women..." Yami whispered to him.

"Yep. Everyone's so happy that you're okay." Yami put on his familiar trademark smirk.

"Yami, are you ready to try and defend you title from me in a duel?" Seto asked with a smirk.

"Seto, you promise not to duel Yami when he just got out from the hospital!" Joey shouted at him.

"Is that a challenge Kaiba? You think a few months out of commission would affect my skills?"

"Well what dose it sound like?" Seto said with a smirk.

"Seto..." both Joey and Mokuba started in a warning.

"I accept. I'll show you here and now..."

Yami felt a tug on his shirt. "Yami don't. I don't want a fight first off."

"Aibou, it's not a fight, it's a duel." Yami said as he smiled again "And besides it been months since I had a good duel."

"Alright..." Yugi sighed.

Yami smirked as he looked at Seto. "I'm ready when ever you are, Kaiba." he said.

"I'll beat you in three turns."

"We'll see."

- - -

Sadly, Seto didn't and soon Yami beat the CEO with an attack with Dark Paladin. Yami smirked his famous smirk. "See Kaiba?"

"Alright, I don't need a lecture from you," he huffed. Yami just laughed.

Yugi smiled. "I'm glad you're back to being you."

Yami smiled back. "So am I, Aibou."

Soon after the party was over, everything startled to settle down at the Mouto residence. "Well, now it's just you and me. I'm so glad to be home," Yugi said flopping onto the couch.

Yami nods as he joined him on the couch. "I agree with you, Yugi."

"Don't get sick like that again," Yugi said jokingly with a laugh.

Yami laughed as well. "I assure you, that I probably won't for a good long time." he finally said with a smile.

"I know..." Yugi said resting against him. Yami smiled. Chirp chirped a happy chirp as he landed on Yami's head.

"I'm sure you're glad to be home too." Yami carefully took Chirp into his hands. "Thank you for everything. I appreciate your loyalty," he said gently petting him. Chirp chirped happily again. Yami chuckled a little. Yami got this look of extreme thought as he started at the little bird. But soon that look past as he smiled again. "Maybe it was faith that you came to us." he finally said. Chirp just chirped happily. Yami felt something fall onto his shoulder. "Huh?" he looked over to see what it was. He smiled as he noticed a certain Hikari was fast asleep. "I hope you have sweat dreams, my little Aibou." he said softly with a smile. Chirp titled his head. Yami yawned and decided it was time for bed. He carefully set Chirp down and picked up his sleeping tenshi. He carried him to their bedroom. Chirp followed. Yami soon entered their room and gently set his sleeping Hikari down in the bed. He tucked him in tight and went to the bathroom to change. Pretty soon he was done as he went back into the bed room. When he came back, Chirp was fast asleep on Yugi's shoulder. He smiled as he climb into bed himself. He kissed Yugi gently on the forehead before putting and arm around him and closing his eyes. It wasn't long until he too fall asleep. It was the sweetest sight you could imagine.
