I could feel myself slipping away and I couldn't stay awake much longer. /Yami, save me/

I all but whispered through the mind link, letting all of my emotions flow through the small words. I wanted him to know what had happened to me. I didn't want him to feel my pain but he needed to know what had happened to me even if he couldn't hear me. I let the very recent memory play out in my mind through the mind link. I wanted Yami to know what my bastard of a father did to me.

I heard the backdoor slam open and I instantly opened my eyes and braced myself for the next round of cruelty to begin. "Yugi!" I heard Yami scream my name and I heard the rush of footsteps as he gently came over to where I was laying and looked me in the eyes. Could barley breath without crying out in pain but I managed a smile just for him. He didn't deserve to see me like this. He shouldn't have to see me broken and bleeding before him in a twisted heap, life slipping away from the loss of blood.

He had tears rolling down his face and he gently touched my face to wipe away my tears. I wished I could return the gesture but it hurt too much to breath let alone move. He was panting and beads of sweat rolled down his face, he had probably running from his office building that was 3 blocks away.

He whipped out a cell phone and dialed 911 and frantically explained where he was and that he needed an ambulance and the police to come to the game shop as soon as possible.

All of 5 minutes later the police barged through the back door and surrounded the house. I could hear sirens and soon a team of paramedics busted through the door with a gurney. I was thankful when they saw my condition and gently placed me on the gurney with my backside face up so the large shards of glass would not go any deeper into my skin.

Yami stood aside while all of this happened and when the paramedics started to roll me away I grabbed his hand with the last of my strength and said "don't leave me, Yami…" I was almost whispering my plea and he grabbed my hand in both of his and climbed into the ambulance with me.
