Hey everyone! I apologize for having not updated in forever. I've been busy with moving across country. Sounds fun right? Well anyway, here's the next chapter! Enjoy, and please review. I know there are always more hits than reviewers and I don't like that. I'd like to see some reviews people, but even if you don't, I'm just glad that you found my story interesting enough to read.
Ryou's Accident
After quietly tucking Yugi into bed, Yami returned downstairs to where Mr. Moto was waiting for him. The question Mr. Moto wanted to ask was itching across his face. His face showed both worry and concern all the same.
"What happened? Please tell me Yugi had nothing to do with this," replied Mr. Moto, more worry etched across his face. He looked up to his grandson's counterpart, eyes pleading for an answer.
Yami saw this, and decided to sit down before starting his story. As he began to talk, Mr. Moto became more and more concerned by the minute. Each minute he became paler and paler. "So our dear friend Ryou was hit by a speeding car when he was walking to his next class?" Yami merely nodded. "That's terrible. When Yugi wakes, we should go visit him."
"I don't think that will be possible for a while. From what Yugi told me, Ryou was in terrible condition, and it sounded as though he would be in the intensive care unit for a while. He may even possibly have to be on a ventilator for a while, since Yugi had to perform CPR on him."
Mr. Moto wiggled uncomfortably in his chair. 'My dear Yugi saved his friend, but at the same time probably feels as though this was his entire fault. That's probably why he was passed out in Yami's arms. How awful it must have been,' he thought.
"What do you presume we should do with Yugi, grandpa? You know he saw the entire accident, and he saw Ryou after as well. Do you think we should put him in counseling, or do you think we should let him figure this one out on his own?"
He once again wiggled uncomfortably in his chair. "I think we should see how badly this has affected him before we even think about a counselor. My Yugi is a strong lad, and he's pulled through many tough things, such as when he found out his father had died. At first he didn't take it so well, but eventually he came around."
Yami let out a sigh. 'I hope he's right. I know Yugi is strong, but can he really handle another tragedy in his life? What if something even worse happens to Ryou, like dieing or being crippled for the rest of his life? I couldn't bear to think about something like that!' "He'll be alright. It's getting late. We should head to bed ourselves."
Mr. Moto nodded in confirmation. Deep in his heart, he knew everything was going to be alright. It usually was. That was life. Some things were good and others bad. Life was full of surprises.
Yami and grandpa both walked out of the room and up the stairs. They then parted, heading to their separate rooms. While so, both were deep in thought over Ryou and Yugi. Neither wanted anything worse to happen to either one. Both had been through to many tragedies within their short lifetime. And although life isn't fair, to have anything awful happen to them again so soon in their lifetime would be just cruel.
Now in his and his aibou's room, he changed into his pajamas. Walked over to the bed, and pulled back the covers. Silently, he slipped into the bed, regretting that he had left Yugi in their room by himself for so long. He could have woken wondering how he had come there, or worse, he could only think of Ryou. But now, all was quiet, and Yami was ready for some sleep.
Mr. Moto quietly got into his pajamas too, and slipped into bed. He couldn't help but think that Yugi would be alright, and now he only wished for everyone to get some peaceful sleep, for they would have a lot to deal with the next day.
