Ryou's Accident
As he watched Ryou rush away to the hospital, he remembered what he had told him. "Yugi, do you think… ow… you could give this to Bakura for me?" He looked at what Ryou had handed him. It was a crumpled up piece of paper. I wonder why he wants me to give this to Bakura. It just looks like a piece of paper to me. But if it's just a piece of paper, why do I feel like I have to open it and read what it says?
Throughout the day, Yugi couldn't help but feel guilty about what happened to Ryou. He could have stopped that accident, but he just had to let Ryou set off to class.
Yami was beginning to wonder where Yugi was. Even though they had separate bodies, they still shared the mind link. He could feel the guilt and pain that Yugi was feeling. He found Yugi leaning against the cold brick walls of the school.
"Aibou, what's the matter? Why do you feel so much pain and guilt? You're usually so happy. I don't understand why you are feeling this way."
"Yami, Ryou was sent to the hospital today and it is my entire fault."
"What are you talking about aibou? How could it be your fault if destiny planned this? You can't blame yourself for everything that happens to this world and the people who live in it."
Yugi remained silent. The horrible visions of Ryou being hit played again and again in his mind. Yugi began to cry. He tried to say something but couldn't. His tears made him hard to understand.
"I think we should go home now, aibou. You don't seem well. I know it's very sad that our dear friend Ryou was hurt but I think you need to stop blaming yourself for what happened."
Yami scooped Yugi up and started walking home. It was the end of the day and everyone was exhausted from all of the excitement and agony. They soon came into the house only to find Mr. Moto cooking dinner for the boys. A spoon clattered to the ground.
"What happened to my Yugi? Did something happen at school today, Yami?" asked a very distressed man.
"Yes grandpa," he answered simply.
"What happened? Why is Yugi sleeping in your arms? Why was there an ambulance rushing from the direction of your school?"
"If you must know, I will tell you after I put Yugi to bed. He fell asleep when I was carrying Yugi."
Yami trudged out of the room with Yugi pulling into Yami's chest. He was snuggling to stay warm. Yami could only smile knowing Yugi was happy in his dreams.
