I'm back, and here's Chapter 16.

Chapter 16- What are You Doing?!

"Yugi, you're awake!" Yami exclaimed, feeling happier than he ever thought was possible.

Unfortunately, that happiness was short-lived.

Yami was startled to find himself on the floor, holding his stinging cheek. He looked up in shock at Yugi.

Yugi still had his hand in midair from where he had slapped Yami. His amethyst eyes were ablaze with anger.

Yami stood up and backed away a little. "Yugi, what-" Yami started.

"What the hell do you think that you are doing?!" Yugi demanded.

"Yugi, what are you talking about?" Yami asked, confused.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about! What the hell are you doing kissing me?! You don't have that kind of right!" Yugi growled.

"Yugi, listen. I-" Yami began, hoping to explain everything to him.

"First, you start to ignore me and didn't give a damn about what happened to me. Then, you attack me about moving in with Seto, who cared a hell of a lot more about me than you did. Next, you expect me just to forgive you because I'm this naïve little boy who forgives in a second if you ask. Now, you kiss me! What is your problem?! I'm not a mat that you can walk all over and pay attention to when it suits you. I'm a person, and I have feelings, and I'm not letting you do things to me just because you feel like doing them!" Yugi snarled.

Yami starred wide-eyes at Yugi. He had never expected Yugi to say anything like that, much less look as angry as he did at that moment. He had thought that Yugi would let him explain, but it was clear that Yugi didn't have any intention of listening.

"Get out." Yugi said.

"But Yugi-" Yami tried.

"I said get out!" Yugi said louder.

It was then that Yami realized he had better do what he said. Turning Yami left the room, closing the door behind him.

Yugi fell back on the bed as the anger dissolved and tears fell down his cheeks. "Why did he have to do that?" Yugi whispered brokenly.

Yami stood out in the hallway shaking. He couldn't believe what Yugi had just said, he couldn't believe what Yugi had just done.

Yugi never resorted to violence to solve problems. He hated it when Yami would fight the bullies that used to pick on him at school.

Yami couldn't understand why Yugi had slapped him or why Yugi wouldn't give him a chance to explain himself. "Why, Yugi? Why won't you listen to me?" Yami asked as tears filled his crimson eyes and fell down his face.

Yami stumbled over to a chair on the other side of the hall and collapsed into the chair. "How did I let it get this bad?" Yami asked as he started crying, something that he rarely did.

"You sure that this is a good idea?" Heba asked as he and Atemu walked down the hall of the hospital.

"Yes. I know that Yami will not want to leave, but he needs to go home and rest. I'll drag him out of here kicking and screaming if need be." Atemu replied.

"It'd be nice if Yugi had woken up. I know that I'll feel a lot better when he does." Heba said.

"So will Yami. He and Yugi can finally work out their differences." Atemu said.

"I don't think that Yugi will make it that easy on him. I know Yugi, and I don't think it'll be as easy as you think. He was pretty angry, and I think it's going to take a lot of work for-" Heba stopped when he looked in Yugi's room and saw Yugi sitting up and Yami nowhere to be seen

Atemu followed Heba's gaze and saw Yugi awake as well. "I don't believe it." Atemu said.

Both rushed into the room.

"Yugi, you're awake!" Heba exclaimed.

"Heba!" Yugi squeaked as his twin hugged him so fiercely that the air was forced from his lungs.

"Yugi, are you okay? How long have you been awake?" Heba asked.

Yugi was about to answer when he noticed Atemu was in the room. His eyes turned cold as he said, "What is he doing here?"

Atemu was startled by the cold tone and took a step back, worried.

"Yugi, Atemu came with me. He has every right to be here." Heba said.

"No, he doesn't. I don't want him or any of the others here as well. I don't want lairs around me." Yugi said.

Atemu was startled even more and became afraid, not for himself, but for Yami. "Yugi, where's Yami?" Atemu asked quietly.

"I don't know, and honestly, I don't give a damn about that lying, hypocritical bastard." Yugi said.

"Yugi, where is he?" Heba asked.

"I don't know, Heba, and I don't care. I told him to get out, and he did. That's all I care about." Yugi growled.

Atemu looked at Heba and silently told him that he was going to find Yami. He left the room quickly.

Heba turned back to Yugi. He could tell that Yugi had been crying and wondered what had happened between him and Yami. "Yugi, what happened when Yami was here?" Heba asked.

"I told him I wouldn't let him walk all over me like I did in the past and told him to get out. He finally did when I said it the second time." Yugi said.

"Yugi, why did you do that?" Heba asked.

Yugi glared at his brother. "So you're taking Yami's side now? I thought that you were angry." Yugi said.

"Yugi, I'm not taking anyone's side. I just am trying to understand what happened." Heba said.

"If you must know when I woke up, Yami was kissing me, and it made me angry, He's nothing but a two-timer." Yugi snarled.

"Two-timer? Yugi, what are you talking about?" Heba asked, still confused.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about. He's dating Tea and thinks that he can just kiss me. He can't go and kiss his girlfriend, but I'm not letting him kiss me!" Yugi said.

Heba's eyes widened. He had forgotten that Yugi didn't know the truth. "Yugi. It's not what you think. Yami and Tea-" Heba started.

"Don't try telling me anything, Heba. Yami can't have two people. I'm not going to do anything with that bastard. He wants someone else on the side, fine, but it's not going to be me. I'm not his whore." Yugi growled.

"Yugi, he doesn't-" Heba tried.

"Just get out, Heba. If you're defending him, then get out. I don't need to hear you telling me he's not a bad guy just because he was sitting here with me when I was unconscious." Yugi said.

Heba knew Yugi was serious. Sighing, Heba said, "All right, Yugi. I'll leave." He turned to leave. Heba stopped and turned back. "I can understand why you're angry, but you should give Yami the chance to explain. You've been crying, so I know that you're upset." Heba said.

Yugi didn't say anything.

"I'll be in the hall if you want to talk." Heba said before leaving the room.

"Give Yami a chance? He's the one hurt me. He overstepped his boundaries." Yugi muttered, starting to cry again.

Atemu ran down the street and toward the park. He knew that Yami would go there a lot when he was upset and prayed that was where Yami was because if it wasn't, he didn't know where to look next.

Atemu entered the park and went over to where the lake was.

Sure enough, Yami sat by the lake, leaning against a big Sakura tree, just looking out across the lake.

Atemu sighed in relief that he had found Yami. Taking out his cell phone, he called Heba.

"Atemu, did you find him?" Heba asked.

"Yes. I'm going to talk to him." Atemu siad.

"Okay. Yugi's too angry to reason with. I'll try to talk him later." Heba said.

"Will it help?" Atemu asked.

"I don't know." Heba replied.

"Okay. I'll talk to you later." Atemu said and shut the phone. He walked over to where Yami was.

"What do you want, Atemu?" Yami asked.

"How did you know it was me?" Atemu asked, sitting beside Yami.

"You're the only other person who knows I come here when I'm upset other than Yugi," Yami's voice cracked at Yugi name, "and he doesn't want me around him anymore." Yami replied.

Atemu was upset at Yami's dead sounding tone. "What happened before Yugi woke up?" Atemu asked gently.

Yami sighed. "I was telling him about the Christmas party. I told him I loved him and then I kissed him. He woke up then." Yami said.

"Then what happened?" Atemu asked.

"He slapped me. Slapped me so hard that I fell to the floor. He started yelling at me. Asking me what I thought I was doing. He told me I didn't have the right to kiss him. He basically told me that I couldn't mistreat him like I had before. He wouldn't let me. I wanted to explain everything, but he told me to get out. He didn't want me there." Yami said before starting to cry again.

Atemu looked at Yami sympathetically before wrapping his arms around Yami and holding him while he cried.

Yami and Atemu felt a great deal like brothers, and Atemu hated to see Yami this upset.

"Yami, I know that you're upset, but you need to realize that Yugi doesn't know everything yet." Atemu said.

Yami pulled away and wiped the tears from his eyes. "What do you mean?" Yami asked.

"Yami, you know that Yugi has been in a coma for over a month. He doesn't know everything you do. Yugi thinks that you're dating Tea, so when he found you kissing him, he got the wrong impression." Atemu said.

Yami's eyes widened. "I never even thought of that." Yami said softly.

"I know. Yugi's going to need some time to calm down and think about everything that has happened. You need to relax and give him some time to think." Atemu said.

Yami nodded. "I guess I should just go home." Yami said.

"You're coming back to the hospital with me." Atemu said.

"Why?" Yami asked.

"Heba and I went there first. That's how I found out Yugi had ordered you out. Yugi's wasn't thrilled to see me, either. He's going to be angry for a while. I just want to go so that I can make sure Heba's okay." Atemu said.

Yami nodded, and the two stood up and left the park.

Heba sat in one of the chairs in the hallway with his head in his hands.

"Heba?"

Heba looked up to find Atemu and Yami both looking at him.

"Heba, what are you doing out here?" Atemu asked.

"Well, Yugi's not exactly thinking rationally at the moment, and since I was trying to explain the situation to him, he felt that I was taking Yami's side and told me to get out. He was upset enough, so I left. I've been out here ever since." Heba replied.

"So, he didn't do anything to you?" Yami asked.

Heba shook his head. "Dave's in there now." Heba said.

A moment later, Dave came out of the room.

Heba stood up and said, "How is he?"

"Physically speaking, he's fine. He should be able to go home in a few days. He was rather upset, though. Did something happen?" Dave asked.

"Arguments, but they were about things that were going on before the tornado." Heba said.

"I suggest that they either be resolved or anyone who made him upset stay away." Dave said.

"Is he calm?" Atemu asked.

"Yes. I can see he's very upset, so if he gets upset with you leave, I don't want him having a relapse because of this." Dave said.

The three nodded, and Dave walked off.

"What should we do?" Yami asked.

Heba sighed. "Let me go in ad try to talk to him. I know he's not going to listen to either of you. No offense." Heba said.

"We know. We caused a lot of this, so we know he doesn't really want to see us. Just be careful." Atemu said.

"He won't hurt me. I know Yugi well enough to know that." Heba said.

"Don't mention anything about us being together, Heba. I don't think that he's take it too well." Atemu said.

Heba nodded before going into the room.

"What do you think?" Yami asked, turning to Atemu.

"I don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Atemu said, sitting down.

Yami sat down beside him. "I am so stupid." Yami said.

"No, you're not. You made some mistakes, that's all." Atemu said.

"If I had told Yugi the truth from the start, none of this would have happened." Yami said.

"Maybe, but you can't dwell on that. For now, you need to figure out what you're going to say to him IF Heba convinces him to talk to you." Atemu said.

"If being the key word." Yami said.

"A very important key word." Atemu said.

Heba shut the door behind him and saw Yugi sitting on the bed, leaning back against the pillow with his eyes closed. "Yugi." Heba said a little hesitantly.

Yugi opened his eyes in surprise. "Heba, what are you doing here?" Yugi asked.

"I thought that we could talk." Heba said.

Yugi sighed. "Yeah. I guess." Yugi agreed.

Heba sat down beside him.

"I'm sorry." Yugi said.

This startled Heba. "What for?" Heba asked.

"For snapping at you earlier and ordering you out. I was angry at Yami and took it out on you. I'm sorry for that." Yugi said.

"It's okay, but could we talk about it, please?" Heba asked.

"I suppose. Do you know where Yami is?" Yugi asked.

Heba was shocked to hear Yugi talk about him, but hoped it was a good sign. "Yeah. Atemu found him. He's fine." Heba said.

"Good. You know I didn't mean what I said when I said I didn't care." Yugi said.

"I know, but why exactly were you so upset?" Heba asked.

Yugi sighed. "I woke up to find Yami kissing me when he's dating Tea. That's wrong. He shouldn't do that to Tea. Besides that, I was still angry at how he had ignored me and got all over for moving in with Seto. I guess I finally just snapped." Yugi said.

Heba nodded. "I think that you should talk to him." Heba said.

"I can't. Not right now. Not tonight." Yugi said.

"What if he came tomorrow? I know it's Christmas, but-" Heba started.

"Christmas?" Yugi said.

Heba nodded.

"Heba, Christmas isn't for a few weeks. We just got out of school for the holidays." Yugi said.

"Yugi, what day do you think it is?" Heba asked.

"December 8th." Yugi said.

"Yugi, today is December 24th, Christmas Eve. You've been in a coma for almost a full month." Heba said.

Yugi's eyes widened in shock and his mouth fell open from the shock. "A coma?! For a month?!" Yugi exclaimed.

Heba nodded. "Didn't you know?" Heba asked.

Yugi shook his head. "The doctor said that I had been unconscious for awhile, but he didn't say that." Yugi said.

"Yugi, during the storm, you were hit in the head pretty hard. You had to go through surgery for them to do something to help, and you also had some internal bleeding. They handled everything. Dave actually said that you should be able to go home in a few days." Heba said.

Yugi nodded. He leaned back and said, "A month? I don't believe it."

Heba stood up and sat on the bed beside him. "It'll be okay, Yugi." Heba said. He thought a moment before saying, "Yugi, are you willing to see Yami tomorrow and try to work things out with him? I know that he wants to."

"He doesn't need to be here on Christmas Day." Yugi said.

"He'd want to be. Yugi, he wants to work things out with you." Heba said.

Yugi nodded. "All right. I'll see him tomorrow." Yugi said.

Heba nodded. "We'll see you tomorrow." Heba said.

"Heba, why was Atemu here with you earlier?" Yugi asked.

"Oh, well, um." Heba said, blushing a little. "You see, I found out I'm the reincarnation of Atemu's husband from thousand years ago, and I gave him a chance. We started off as friends, and we're together now." Heba said. He looked at Yugi and said, "Are you upset because of that?"

"No. If you're happy, then it's fine." Yugi said.

Heba nodded. "We'll come back tomorrow. Try to rest." Heba said.

Yugi nodded. "I'll try to." Yugi said.

Heba smiled at him before leaving the room.

Yugi lay down and sighed. 'I hope Heba's right about me seeing Yami.' Yugi thought as he closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Atemu and Yami were on their feet the second Heba walked out of the room.

"Heba, what did he say?" Atemu asked.

"He's calmed down a lot. He's rational at the moment. He didn't realize he was in a coma, and I explained that to him." Heba said.

"Do you think he'd care if I see him?" Yami asked.

"He was going to rest. He's been through a lot today." Heba said.

Yami nodded, trying to hide his disappointment.

"He did agree to see you tomorrow, though." Heba said.

"He did?" Yami asked.

Heba nodded. "Just wait until tomorrow. He needs time to think." Heba said.

Yami nodded.

"Well, let's go home and get some rest. I think Grandpa will want to hear about this, too." Atemu said.

Heba and Yami nodded, and the three left the hospital to go home.

If anyone thinks that Yugi was wrong, unfair, or jusr plain cruel, I did not intend for it to be that way. He thinks Yami's with Tea, which means Yami is going behind her back by kissing him. Yugi also has pent up anger from everything that has happened, so Yugi's just angry and shouting in anger. He doesn't mean what he's said. Sorry if anyone thinks I'm trying to bash Yugi. I'm not. He's one of my famorite characters. I'm just showing how a person can react when they don't know everything in a situation.

I'll have Yami and Yugi talking to each other and working everything out between them.

R&R.
