Chapter 1

I awoke to the sound of beeping. My heart rate was normal. But I didn't feel normal. I tried to open my eyes but I still saw darkness. I knew my eyes were open but I couldn't see anything. I felt a presence nearby and I turned my head towards it. "You're awake" I recognized that deep voice and immediately sat up. "Y-yeah…what happened?" I asked blinking rapidly. "Well for starters you got fire and glass in your eyes" I just glared at him. "Yeah I think I know that. I mean what happened after that?" I could feel him staring at me and I sighed deeply.

"Go ahead and say it"

"Say what?"

"Just say that I'm blind!" I yelled. I felt tears swell up in my eyes. "It's hard to tell someone that you know. I just didn't know how you'd take it" Yami sighed. "Well look at me now!" I let out a shaky sigh and my eyes wandered the room. Even though I couldn't see I could feel everything. I could smell the floor polish of the room. It smelled like a normal hospital. "How did this happen" I shook my head violently. I laid my head back down on the pillow and sighed. This was all a dream and in a little while I will wake up fine. But this wasn't a dream, this was real and there was no escaping it. "I'm scared" I blinked back the tears and brought my eyes back to the Yami. "It is a scary thing" I sighed staring at him. "Can you come here?" I asked patting an empty space on the hospital bed. "S-sure" He muttered and I knew he was looking at me curiously. I felt him sit down and I chuckled. "I know you're staring at me like that" He chuckled sighing deeply. I smiled lowering my eyes a bit. I brought a hand to his face and caressed his cheek. "I feel even more helpless being blind" I muttered, "What am I going to do Yami?"

"Just live your life. Being blind doesn't have to stop you from being yourself" He said grabbing my hand. "Yeah but it makes it a lot harder. Is this…..permanent?" I asked suddenly. I felt his grip on my hand tighten and I sighed. "I knew it!" I yelled pulling my hand away. "I'm so sorry. I wish there is something that I can do-"

"There isn't Yami! I'm going to be like this forever!"

"I'll try to see if they can do a transplant. But for now you're going to have to deal with it, okay?" I stared at him and felt tears come to my eyes. "Okay" I smiled letting my eyes wander again. Yami continued to stare at me and I smiled. "Yami….could you come closer?" I asked. I could feel him inching away and it made me feel lonely. He started leaning closer and I placed my hand on the back of his neck.

"This is normal for the blind" I chuckled looking into what I thought was his eyes. I felt his warm breath on my lips and I opened my mouth slightly. He got the message and pressed his lips to mine. Smiling I started to kiss him back loving the feeling. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. Just as I started to open my mouth to let him in the door opened.

I pulled away quickly feeling a blush rise into my cheeks. "Well look who's up!" I jumped hearing that voice. "Joey!" I yelled grinning. I heard footsteps coming closer and felt arms wrap around me. I immediately hugged back tightly. "How are yah feeling?" He asked. "Looks fine from what we saw a few minutes ago," Tristan chuckled. "Tristan!" I yelled. He walked over to the bed, and hugged me. I heard Ryou stammer from across the room.

"Ryou, come here." I didn't hear him move, and I frowned. "He's a little nervous. He was worried sick about you," Joey said. "It's okay Ryou. Either you come here, or I'm coming to you." Then, I heard footsteps move closer to the bed. I smiled, and hugged the warm body that was Ryou. "Don't be nervous. I'm still Yugi, I just have a problem; but it's a chance for me to get stronger," I said, smiling warmly.

I felt two hands wrap around my waist, and pulled me against there chest. "I'm gonna finish what I started. Don't forget that," Yami whispered into my ear. I blushed, and bowed my head. Then, there was a knock at the door. "Mr. Mutou, how are you doing?" Someone asked. "F-Fine." There was loud footsteps, and I heard Yami say something to him.

"Sorry, I'm the doctor. I jsut wanted to check on you. You are free to go whenever you want," The man said. I nodded, and felt someone stand up. "Can I have a word with you?" Yami asked. Then, they both left the room. I knew what he was talking to him about. All I could do was sit there, and hope for the best. A few minutes later they walked back in; but never said a word. I felt my heart sink. I was going to be blind; forever.
