RECAP! (This is becoming annoying isn't it?)

Yugi and Yami got rescued by the police who's location was given by the find a friend app on Teá's phone, she had Raphael's number in it remember? During the rescue Yugi got shot, during surgery his heart stopped several times and he very nearly died, he came back when his parent's told him that Yami was crying for him, Yugi came back to tell Yami not to cry (Sob, so sweet)

Now Yugi is recovering and hopefully will be awake and back in Yami's arms soon...

Now I'm just cleaning up my mess, I've got Teá to deal with, an unconsious Yugi and a depressed gang not to mention the police will want to know what's happening.

With all that done: I don't own the characters.

Enjoy.

Solomon sat on the other side of Yugi and smiled at Yami. "I believe I heard you say that you loved my Grandson"

Yami nodded and ran his hand over Yugi's face again, gently. "More than the world"

Solomon smiled and then settled back to wait for Yugi to wake up. I'll need the full story when we've finished this adventure…

Two days later Yami day dreamed in class. Yugi was sleeping away, getting his strength back and getting his blood levels back to normal. Teá's blood must have been poisoning but at least it kept him from dying.

The little one hadn't moved, Yami nearly had to be dragged away for school the next day, Solomon promised to call if he so much as twitched, so Yami had resigned himself to the classroom.

Anzu had kept her colourful plaster of hearts and balloons just so she's always remember saving Yugi's life. She made more of a fuss than normal because everyone knew she was completely terrified of needles.

Yami sighed as the bell went at last. Everyone piled out but the group remained slightly longer, they wanted to get out quickly so they waited until they could get out without being shoved. Anzu sat on her desk like normal "So… any word?" she asked Yami gently.

Yami shook his head. "None. I saw him yesterday… sleeping like that stupid fairytale princess"

Anzu giggled "Maybe you should kiss him then" she suggested as they all got up. Everyone laughed lightly, but it was strained. Seto ran a hand through his hair and played with Joey's bag strap, he was thinking about the trail in a few weeks, he had increased the house security for Yami's sake, knowing that there was a chance he could be targeted for turning in Dartz.

Yami jumped as his mobile buzzed, he put it to his ear with a small prayer "Hello?"

"Hey, Yami. It's Solomon"

Yami stopped and everyone else stopped around him, sensing news of their little friend. "Gramps? Hey, what's up?" Joey tried to listen in as well.

"Yugi's awake, my boy! He woke up an hour ago!"

Yami blinked then stared at nothing. He's awake… then a broad smile crossed hid face "Really?"

Everyone looked happy at his tone Anzu tugged on his arm "Yugi's awake? Really? How is he? Is he alright? Does he miss me?"

Yami laughed and batted her away "What Gramps? Anzu calm down!"

Solomon chuckled "He's been asking for you, Yami. Get over here before he tires himself out, poor lad panicked when you weren't there, he was crying until I assured him you were on your way, don't make me a lair, now Yami. Get over here and see him!"

Yami nodded "I will. See you soon" he ended the call.

Joey bounced around him "Yami! Tell!"

Yami smiled "Yugi woke up an hour ago" Even Seto smiled!

Anzu wiped her eyes and pulled out her phone "I'm calling Serenity, then Teá" everyone looked at her in confusion. Anzu looked at her toes. "She's turning herself into the police, and providing herself as a witness for the trials of the bastards… she's going to be in police protection until they track down the other company gang members, new identity and stuff, new house, new life… so… I'm not going to see her for a while… maybe ever"

Joey patted her shoulder and sighed "At least she's cleaned up, yeah?"

Anzu nodded "Yeah…" she put the phone to her ear "Teá, it's me… Yugi woke up…" she walked into a corner of the hall slowly. Yami felt slightly sorry for the sisters, mostly for Anzu, even though they hated each other's guts they were family and they loved each other because of that.

Anzu could never see her sister again. Yami felt slightly sad for that fact.

Seto grunted "They should just kiss, make up then get over it, let's go. I've called the limo"

Yami and Joey nodded solemnly. Joey shook his head and smiled "We shouldan't be sad! Yug's awake!" he cheered and thumped the boys on the backs. "Tristan! You spiky headed freak! Get over here! Yugi woke up!"

Miho and Tristan trailed over, holding hands. Miho smiled, for once not in a daze "That's so brilliant! Give him my love. I've got to work right now"

Tristan squeezed her hand and let her go, she waved over her shoulder. Miho was going to miss Teá the most out of all of them, she depended on her to yell at her daily. But she'd get used to it eventually.

Tristan waved after her then smiled at Yami "The little guy's awake? Is he alright? Since when?"

"An hour ago, we dunno if he's a talking vegetable or his spiky headed self yet"

Tristan shook his head fondly "Let's get to him then"

"Wait for me!" Anzu shouted as she caught up with them.

Joey began to run, pulling Seto along with him, just to annoy Anzu. The girl started throwing all kinds of insults at the blond before chasing him, brandishing her hairbrush like a fierce soldier of some kind.

Yami chuckled and then ran after then to see Joey get attacked, it was a long time coming.

Yugi glanced out the window, restless and almost crying. The doctors had been doing their dumb tests all afternoon, speech, memory, movement, and others that Yugi couldn't be bothered to remember. They all kept saying that it wasn't possible to be awake, or alive after what he had been through.

Yugi thought back… Mum and Dad told me to hang on until I felt the darkness about to win. And I did, so… here I am... but where's Yami? Yugi sniffled again.

Solomon appeared around the door "Yami's on his way Yugi"

Yugi smiled, wiping his teary eyes again "Okay…" he'd begun talking again. Much to the delight of his Grandpa, Yugi stretched a hand out to him and smiled when his Grampa took his hand, Yugi gripped it, wishing Yami was here now "Grampa? What happened to the men?"

Solomon's eyes darkened slightly in anger "They got arrested and are being tried for attempted murder, and several other crimes that have mysteriously popped up"

Yugi nodded, as soon as Dartz was put into police hands people have been feeling brave enough to speak up and help put him away. But there are others. Dartz mentioned others… are we really as safe as we think? Yugi shivered slightly, but then began whining and attempting to speed up time.

"When's Yami here?" he asked like a child, but a hint of desperation in his voice too.

Solomon chuckled "Five minuets, don't worry he's on his way…"

Yugi pouted, he wanted him here now! Not just that! He needed him near now! Yugi whimpered and pulled on his Grampa's sleeve "Why aren't you asking me why I'm talking now? You have to be wondering"

Solomon jumped a little then smiled "Because I already know"

Yugi blinked "Eh?"

Solomon messed Yugi's hair fondly, Yugi pouted. "You fell in love, didn't you"

Yugi blushed and nodded. "I guess I did… you don't mind?"

Solomon's eyebrows rose into his hairline "Why would I mind? I like Yami, he's a good kid, just right for you. He stood by you when you needed him, and, above all, he makes you happy"

Yugi smiled, he felt that too. "But… we're both-"

"Men?" Solomon interrupted and waved a hand "As if that matters! Love is genderless, ageless and a few other less's that I can't think of…"

Yugi smiled again "Raceless?"

Solomon nodded "Moneyless"

Yugi giggled "Borderless" the two went on, laughing more as it their suggestions got more and more ridicules. "Voiceless!" Yugi giggled out.

"Who's voiceless?"

Yugi looked up with a happy gasp "Joey! Anzu! Seto! Yami! You're all here!" he stretched a hand out.

Anzu put her fingers in her ears. "Not this kid Joey, he's a littl' fog horn" she twisted a finger in her ear as if Yugi's small outburst had hurt it. "Man, the little guy can shout"

Yugi looked down "Sorry"

Yami looked shocked "You're talking… and you're really awake" he breathed out amazed.

Yugi smiled radiantly and flashed a secret smile, reaching out with that hand even further. But you know we don't need words. Yami smiled, he could read his hikari like a book, he didn't need to hear his voice, even if it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever heard.

Serenity pushed past them all with a big smile "I'm so glad you've decided to break the silence" she said as she hugged Yugi, he hugged her back and smiled as she put a little vase of sunflowers on his bedside table. She winked at him and smiled "It caught my eye on the way here"

Yami sat by Yugi's bed and finally held his hand. Yugi smiled at him happily, glad to have him back at his side. He pulled himself up, his head spinning but he didn't care, and he shifted himself enough so that he was leaning into Yami's frame, needing him close and only now relaxing properly.

Yami smiled at the content smile that passed over Yugi's sweet face "How do you feel?" Yami asked, playing with Yugi's fingers gently.

Yugi shrugged "Alright, I guess. I'm numb all around here" he put a hand over the bullet wound.

Joey snorted "Ya got a hole in ya gut! I'd think dat ya feelin' good if ya feeling no pain" Seto smacked the back of his head to shut him up.

Yugi rolled his eyes, at least some things never change "I guess you're right. I've been doing brain tests all day, cause my heart stopped and all… they're amazed I don't have any brain damage. The Doctor said that only the gun wound will visibly scar if we're careful" he smiled again.

Yami kissed his hand. "They'd better do a good job. I'm glad you're awake" Yugi nuzzled Yami's cheek with his nose, the girls 'awwed' softly and clutched each other in a fan girl moment. The boys all flashed satisfied grins and chuckled at Yami's eagerness for a kiss.

Seto growled suddenly. "Why are you here?"

Everyone looked at the door, Yugi and Yami jumped, Yami's arms curling around Yugi protectively. It was Anzu's evil twin. She stood with her hair covering her face and looking small and ashamed. She waved half heartedly then sighed as the policeman urged her to hurry up from outside the room. "Alright…" she told him. She walked into the middle of the room and looked at each member there sadly.

"I… I'm going away for a while, now" she fiddled with her fingers, still not meeting Yugi's eyes. "The police… they want to keep me safe so that the other gang members won't have me killed off so that Dartz can get out of a life sentence…" she sighed again and then looked up "I guess I'm trying to say; Goodbye… maybe forever"

No one knew what to say. Anzu suddenly stood by her and put something around her neck "Well… see you soon, I guess" she said quietly.

Teá looked at her mirror image, who looked completely different, and nodded, her hand over the locket that was now around her neck "Yeah… miss you, Anzu" they hugged briefly and Teá moved on. "I'm sorry, Yugi, Yami too… for everything…"

Yugi touched her hand as she stopped by his bed "It's not exactly alright, but you're trying to make it right. I forgive you"

Teá smiled and squeezed his hand "Thanks… you're a good kid. I take back what I said before. Yami?" the teen cringed slightly but Teá just smiled shyly "I'm sorry for chasing after you… I was just scared of myself, what I was, you see. So…"

Joey blinked "Huh? Why?"

Anzu snickered at Joey's cluelessness "She's more like her sister than you think" she said cryptically with one eyebrow arched. Serenity looked shocked, she understood at once. Well… who'd of thought…

Tristan's jaw dropped "No Freaking way! She's gay too?" he all but shouted.

The twins nodded "Anzu was fine with being a lez, but I wanted to be normal, so I did everything I could to try and get myself attracted to guys… I knew lots of girls thought Yami was hot so, yeah, just to make myself feel normal" she blushed and then laughed slightly. "I suppose you are getting my room after all Anzu"

Anzu punched the air "Score!" she hollered and everyone laughed.

The twins went outside to say goodbye for the final time and everyone else waved her off, even if some did half heartedly. Anzu smiled and sighed "For a moment there… she was like the twin she was before she became a bitch, I'll miss arguing with her if nothing else" Serenity hugged her softly.

"Don't be sad, babe" she soothed. Anzu nodded. Yugi looked sad, he knew what it was like to have a part of your family just vanish. Yami squeezed his hand again and the two smiled.

Tristan laughed suddenly "So, I'm the only striate person in this room? That's disturbing" and he laughed again. Yami and Yugi rolled their eyes at the same time, Anzu snorted, Serenity stuck her tongue out at him, Anzu eyed that eagerly. Joey pulled a face and Seto just grunted without an opinion, not really caring about that.

Joey nudged his sister "Don't let Anzu see dat tongue, sis, she's eyein' ya up"

Serenity sucked it in at once, Anzu pouted and began to whine "But she looks so good" she put her arms around the red head and they giggled, this was normal.

Serenity played with Anzu's braids then looked at Yugi "Have you two spoken to the police yet? They'll want you at the trials too. You're the victims"

Even Seto stiffened. Yugi shuddered as the painful flashbacks came back to him; the punches and kicks, the chains, the tub, the electric gun, the bullets… he went white for a second and his lips were pressed tightly together. This is like the fire and crash… I couldn't talk about them, so I shut up. I can't shut up now… Mum and Dad and Yami need me.

Yugi opened his eyes and forced himself to talk "G-Grampa said that… they'll talk to me and Yami together, tomorrow or the next day" he shivered again.

Joey sat by his bed with Yami "Hey, don't force yaself ta talk 'bout it if ya don't want ta" he patted Yugi's shoulder "It's cool"

Yugi nodded but then spoke again "I need to get used to talking again…" he smiled at Yami secretly "I'm not going to be silent anymore, I need to talk about what happened"

Yami hugged him, proud of his choice and promised to help him through the entire thing. The Doctor peeked him and chuckled "I see he recognises his friends. That's another improvement. Evening all, I'm afraid visiting hours will be ending shortly, so you'll have to say your goodbyes now"

Anzu made a face "I'm killing the person who thought of time limits" she grumbled but messed Yugi's hair and said her goodbye anyway. "Chow my little man" she winked.

Serenity giggled "Oh Anzu…" she kissed Yugi's forehead "Get well soon" she chirped and linked arms with Anzu and they began to leave.

Joey patted Yugi's arm "Smell ya later"

Seto frowned at Joey's phrase "Hurry up and get well, Yami's a pain at home" he ordered and walked out the door after Joey. Tristan flashed thumbs up and left thinking of Miho.

Yami smirked at Yugi, the little one blushed. Yami leaned in, his eyes promising and warning "Hikari-mine" he purred and kissed him. Yugi kissed back and moaned as Yami deepened it, pressing him back into his pillows and leaning over him. Yami was almost purring again but stopped because he didn't want to push Yugi's newly awakened body too far.

Yugi whined in disappointment. Yami chuckled "You're still tired, Hikari-mine" he told him warmly.

Yugi whined again and stole another quick kiss before asking "Yami?"

"Hmm?" Yami played with the short silky locks at the back of Yugi's head soothingly, Yugi's body expressing his stress and tension. It really was as if the two could read each other's minds with the amount of talking they actually needed.

Yugi fiddled with Yami's buttons "After I passed out… in the ambulance… I saw my parents…" Yami blinked, Yugi continued "I had wings, but they kept pulling the feathers off my back and told me to hang on. Because you needed me" Yami smiled, so true…

Yugi was frowning though "But… the thing that bothers me, is that Dad said that when he left the message he wasn't aiming it at a person… and Mum said she was as clueless as we were until Dartz kidnapped you"

Yami nodded slowly "So… you guessed wrong. Your Mother didn't have those documents..."

Yugi nodded "That's right… but 'Holder of the Puzzle'? It's been bugging me, like an answer to a question you know but can't call back when you need it"

Yami chuckled again and sighed "I need to go now, hikari-mine… I'll see you tomorrow, the police need our story"

Yugi suddenly jumped "How's your arm?"

Yami glanced at the spot where the bandage was. "Healing fine, I'll need a little nerve repair though, the knife numbed that area so I'll need a little operation then I'm back in one piece"

Yugi laughed "Silly" he scolded and kissed him "Bye, be back soon, I need you!" Yugi clutched at Yami's arms weakly, his eyes drooping even as he tried to fight it.

Yami kissed his nose, then both lowering lavender lids "I love you, my little one"

"I love you too" Yugi whispered back and waved as he went around the corner. Yugi smiled and touched his lips. I love you…

Well! You weren't expecting THAT from Teá were you?

More fluffy fuff I'm happy. This made me smile a little, Yugi's got some pluck if he's survived all he has, aint' he?

The next chapter is mostly another excuse for fluff, but it clears up some things too, but feel free to skip it becuase it's still a filler chapter no matter how you look at it. I'm running out of Anzu jokes, I'm so glad that this story is nearly over.
