Chapter 4- A Brother's Rage

Atemu had arrived at the hospital only to find that Leo was with a patient and he would have to wait on him. Atemu waited in Leo's office and looked around. He picked up a framed picture of the entire group outside the Kaiba mansion a year ago. 'We were all so happy and at peace back then.' Atemu thought. He noticed how Yami had an arm around Yugi. 'Even then, he would do anything for Yugi. So how could he have been stupid enough to let all of this happen?' Atemu asked himself.

"Atemu, what are you doing here?' Leo asked as he closed his office door behind him.

Atemu set the picture down and turned back around to face Leo. "I came here because I needed to talk to you, and before you ask, it couldn't have waited until you got home." Atemu said.

"Okay." Leo said, sitting down in his chair behind the desk. "Start talking."

"Leo I have found a few problems that need to be resolved, and they all center around Yugi." Atemu said.

"Yugi? Is he all right?" Leo asked, instantly worried for his young friend.

"No, not really." Atemu said. "A new kid at school had Yugi pinned against the wall and was forcing Yugi into a kiss." Atemu said.

"What?!" Leo exclaimed, instantly enraged.

"That's not all. Yami must have sensed Yugi's panic and fear and ripped the guy away from Yugi. The guy didn't even care. He seemed callous about it. He didn't care that our entire group had seen what he did." Atemu said.

"That is an arrogant jerk!" Leo growled. "If I ever meet him, I am going to let him have it." Leo said.

"There's more. Yugi's aura seems to hold a lot of sadness, and it's not from that. I noticed it when Yami and I were in the bathroom after that incident, helping Yugi calm down. After school, I walked home with Yugi. He's upset with Yami." Atemu said.

Leo closed his eyes. "Atemu, please tell me that this has nothing to do with the fact that Yami is acting like he's dating Tea to stop anyone from finding out that Yami is gay." Leo said.

"I wish I could, but I can't." Atemu said.

Leo sighed. "I was afraid of this. What did he tell you?" Leo asked.

"Leo, since Yami started this, he hasn't been spending much time with Yugi. In fact, I don't think Yami has even seen Yugi outside of school. Yami's spending all his time with Tea so that everyone thinks that he is dating her, and that's not the worst of it." Atemu said.

"What's the worst?" Leo asked, finally opening his eyes.

"Leo, Yugi has been trying to tell Yami something important, and Yami always says that he doesn't have time to talk to Yugi because he needs to be with Tea. Leo, Yugi thinks that Yami doesn't care about him anymore. In fact, Yugi is stating to question if the only reason Yami cared about him in the first place was because he was a spirit and needed a body. Yugi thinks Yami doesn't care about him in the least. He thinks Tea's more important to Yami than Yugi is. Leo, Yugi's in a bad emotional spot, and there's still something else going on, something that I think he will only feel comfortable talking to Yami about." Atemu explained.

"I warned him. I warned Yami that no good would come of this, and I was right. Yugi is the one suffering for Yami's stupidity." Leo said, anger in his eyes.

"Leo, what should I do?' Atemu asked.

Leo sighed. "I get off in half an hour. Stick around, and on the way home, we'll stop by Yugi's apartment and see him. Maybe he'll tell me what's been going on." Leo said.

"Okay." Atemu agreed.

The others were at the mall, and the girls already had the guys carrying some bags.

"This is exactly why I did not want to come." Bakura huffed.

Yami had been thinking about what Atemu said to him and knew that he was right. 'I've been unfair to Tea and myself. I have to stop this before it gets any worse. I'll never be happy with anyone other than Yugi, and it's time I fact the facts. I may love Yugi, but I'll never get him, but I can't try and force myself to forget. No person can take his place, and I need to stop acting like someone will.' Yami thought. He looked ahead to where Tea was. 'Tea's a wonderful girl, but she's not the one for me. It's high time I accept that fact.' Yami thought.

"Hey! Let's go the food court and get some ice cream." Sayora said.

"I suppose that would be all right. How about it guys?" Kyla asked.

"Yes!" all the guys said.

Everyone started off toward the food court.

Yami grabbed Tea by the arm and said, "Tea, can we talk?"

"Sure, Yami. let's go." Tea said happily.

Yami and Tea walked off to where no one was.

"What's in your mind?" Tea asked.

"Tea, look. I'm sorry." Yami said.

"For what?" Tea asked.

"Hurting you like I have been." Yami said.

"Yami, you haven't-" Tea started.

"Tea, don't. I knew that you had lived me, and that's why I asked you to pretend to date me. I knew you wouldn't mind, but I thought that you were over me. If I had known that you still have feelings for me, I wouldn't have asked. Tea, I know you've been hurt by this." Yami said.

Tea sighed. "I thought I was over you, too, but after we started going out, I realized that I wasn't. I thought that since we were acting that I could try and make you fall in love with me. I thought that I could make you forget about Yugi, but I was wrong. I know that Yugi is the only one for you, and I only set myself up for this." Tea said.

"I wanted to convince myself that I could be happy with someone other than Yugi, but I couldn't. I'll never be really happy with anyone other than Yugi, even of that can't be." Yami said.

"Yami, I set myself up for this. I knew it would hurt, but I did it anyway. I was trying to win the heart of someone who already belonged to someone else. We were both wrong." Tea said.

"Yeah, we were. Atemu was right when he told me that I would never be happy with anyone other than Yugi. That's why Atemu doesn't even try to date. He'll never get past Heba." Yami said.

Tea frowned. "Who's Heba?" Tea asked.

Yami shook his head. "Sorry. I was thinking out loud. That's for Atemu to tell if he wants to, not me." Yami said.

"Yami, I am sorry. It was wrong of me to try and change your mind." Tea said.

"I shouldn't have asked you do that. I was wrong, too." Yami said.

Tea nodded. "We should get back to the others." Tea said.

Yami nodded, and the two headed back to the others.

"Everything okay?" Kyla asked.

"Everything's fine." tea replied. It was odd. Tea was hurt, of course, but she wasn't as heartbroken as she thought she would be. 'Maybe this was what I needed to start to get past Yami.' Tea thought.

"Anyway, let's get that ice cream." Seto said.

The group headed to the ice cream bar.

Atemu and Leo arrived at Yugi's apartment only to find the door locked.

Leo knocked, nit no one answered. "I guess Yugi's not here." Leo said.

"Hold on." Atemu said, fishing out his keys. "Yugi gave me and Yami a key to his apartment when he first moved in with his father. We could leave a note asking him to meet us." Atemu said.

"Good idea." Leo agreed.

Atemu unlocked the door, and the two walked into the apartment.

The first thing that hit them was the disgusting smell of blood.

The second thing to hit them was the trashed apartment. Furniture had been thrown or knocked over. The TV had been busted. The computer lay in pieces. Kitchen utensils and pits were also laying all over the floor.

The blood that seems to be scattered everywhere scared the two, though.

"Oh my Ra! YUGI!" Atemu screamed.

Yugi lay on his stomach with one arm laying parallax to his face while his head lay on the other arm. The back of his jacket was stained with blood. Yugi's hair and faced had blood all over them, and several cuts were on Yugi's check that was visible. Yugi was lying in a pool of his own blood.

Leo ran over to Yugi and knelt down beside him. He tried to heal him, but couldn't. "Atemu, call an ambulance!"

"Heal-" Atemu started.

"I tried. It isn't working." Leo said.

Atemu nodded and quickly pulled out his cell phone, dialing 911.

"911. What is your emergency?" a female voice asked.

"I'm at my friend's home, and I found him unconscious. He's bleeding badly." Atemu said.

"Where are you?" the female asked quickly.

"I'm 1020 Celeste Drive. It's the Domino Oaks Apartment building in apartment 504." Atemu said.

"We'll send help now." the female said before hanging up.

"Leo, is he-?" Atemu couldn't finish the question.

Leo put his fingers at Yugi's neck. "He's got a pulse, but he's not breathing." Leo said.

"What do-?" Atemu started.

"Help me roll him onto his back." Leo ordered.

Atemu took Yugi's legs, and Leo took Yugi's shoulders, and together they rolled Yugi onto his back.

Leo quickly started CPR. It took a few tries, but he finally got Yugi to breath. "He's breathing. Barely." Leo said.

"What happened?" Atemu asked.

"I don't know." Leo said. 'But I have a pretty good idea.' Leo finished.

The ambulance soon arrived, and the paramedics got Yugi in before they took him to the hospital.

Leo and Atemu followed in Leo's car.

"So, what should we do now?" Sayora asked they were eating their ice cream.

"Let's go to the arcade." Tristan said.

"We always go to the arcade." Tea complained.

"We always go shopping with you guys." Joey shot back.

Yami shook his head. He suddenly felt a sharp pain and gasped out.

"Yami, are you okay?" Tea asked, concerned.

"I don't know." Yami said. He was worried. "I've only felt like this when something happened to Yugi." he added.

"Yugi's at home though." Sayora said.

Yami's phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that Atemu was the caller. "Hello?"

"Yami, you need to get to the hospital now!" Atemu said harshly.

"What? Why?" Yami asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"Yugi's going into surgery, Yami.." Atemu said.

"He's what?!" Yami exclaimed.

The others looked at Yami worriedly. They didn't like the way Yami was sounding.

"Get here now." Atemu practically ordered him.

"We'll be right there." Yami said before slamming his phone shut.

"What's going on?" Seto asked.

"I don't know, but Yugi's in the hospital in surgery." Yami said.

"What?!" was the collective response.

"I have to go." Yami said. He started to leave with everyone else behind him.

Heba looked up, startled. He was on a plane, heading to Domino. 'Yugi.' Heba thought.

"Protector, your brother is in danger."Horus said.

'Yes, I know.' Heba said.

"Time is not on our side. You must get to your brother before time runs out for your brother." Ra said.

'I will get there soon. I won't let anything happen to him.' Heba promised.

"Be wary, young one. Menthos is formidable foe. Tread cautiously." Osiris said.

'I will.' Heba said. He looked out the window. 'Hold on, Yugi. I am on my way.' Heba thought.

Atemu and Leo were waiting anxiously outside the ER, wondering what was going to happen with Yugi.

A few moments later, Yami and the others arrived at the ER.

"What happened? Where's Yugi?" Yami asked.

"We went to Yugi's apartment so that I could talk to him and found Yugi. He was bleeding and unconscious. Atemu called an ambulance, and they brought Yugi here. A friend of mine is operating now." Leo said.

"What happened, though?" Joey asked.

"I can't be sure, but I think that there's a chance that Yugi's father might have been-" Leo trailed.

"Might have what, lover?" Yuesei asked, walking into the room since Leo had called and told him.

"I think that Yugi's father might have been abusive toward him." Leo said.

There was stunned silence.

"What?! That bastard's been beating him!" Joey shouted, thoroughly enraged.

"Most likely." Leo replied.

"Why would he do that? He seems like such a nice man." Kyla said.

"Kyla, sometimes the nicest of people are the worst of abusers." Leo said.

A doctor came out and said, "Leo."

Leo turned and said, "Ben, how's Yugi?"

"He's stable. He lost a lot of blood, though. He's still unconscious, and it looks like he was hit pretty hard in the head." Ben said.

"Will he be all right?" Leo asked.

"It's too early to tell." Ben replied.

"Can we see him?" Atemu asked.

"I'd prefer it if we waited a few hours before he has any visitors." Ben said.

"I understand." Leo said.

Ben nodded and walked off.

"Leo, why did you do that?" Bakura demanded.

"It's a safety precaution. They'll want to observe Yugi for a few hours, and it's best if they do that with no visitors in the room." Leo said.

Atemu looked at Yami and felt angry. He understood something. "Yami, would you come with me?" Atemu asked. He started to leave and Yami followed him.

Out of curiosity, the other followed.

Out of fear of what Atemu might do, Leo followed.

Yuesei sensed his fear. "Lover, what's wrong?" Yuesei asked.

"We may be having to prevent bloodshed." Leo explained.

They walked outside onto the roof.

"Atemu, what-" Yami was cut off.

Atemu whirled around and slammed Yami into the wall with his hand around Yami's throat, his eyes burning with anger.

"Atemu, what are you doing?!" Tea cried.

"Are you stupid and just a self-centered bastard?" Atemu growled.

Yami felt fear. He had seen Atemu like this before, and it terrified him.

"Do you have any idea what your stupid idea of dating tea has caused?!" Atemu continued.

"Atemu, what are you talking about?" Yami asked.

"What am I talking about? Yami, have you spent ANY time alone with Yugi since you and tea started to date? Have you even listened to him when he wanted to talk to you?" Atemu didn't give Yami a chance to answer. "No, you didn't. I talk to Yugi today, and you know what I found out. You have been such a self-centered bastard who only cared about protecting his secret of the fact that he is in love with Yugi-" Atemu ignored the gasps of surprise from behind him, "that you have completely ignored Yugi so that you can go out with Tea!"

"Wh-what?" Yami stammered.

"You were so hell-bent on convincing everyone that you and Tea were together that you let Yugi become less important than your fake dating. You let him fall through the cracks. Yugi broke down crying earlier because of your idiocy. He told me how he felt. Do you have any idea what kind of irreparable damage you may have caused?!" Atemu practically shouted.

Yami was stock-still. He had never seen Atemu this angry, and he had never imagined that he might have caused harm to Yugi.

"Yugi knows that you two don't get to spend much time together anymore because you live in different homes, but he said that you would always use the mind link to talk. Since you started dating Tea, that diminished to what seems to be none at all. You know how kindhearted Yugi is? He's happy that you are happy," Atemu spoke the word happy with a great deal of sarcasm, "with Tea, and he accepted the heartache you caused him even thought you don't deserve it. It's hurt your friendship with Yugi, Yami! Yugi's questioning whether or not you ever really cared about him. He's wondering if maybe the only reason you cared about him before was because you were a spirit that needed a body. He thinks you don't care at all about him anymore. He wonders why you even saved him from Menthos because he thinks that you can't stand him. He tried to talk to you, Yami, but you were too busy with tea to listen. For all we know, he may have been trying to tell you what his father was doing, but you wouldn't listen! We might could have prevented this if you would have gotten your head out of your ass and actually thought about what you were doing! You may have destroyed your friendship with Yugi because of this, and it is all your fault." Atemu said. He spoke the last sentence with such ferocity that everyone, including Leo was cringing in fear and backing away slight. "Nicely done, Dark. You proved that Marik and Bakura, as insane as they be, take better care and care more for their Lights than you do." Atemu said venomously before letting go of Yami's throat and stalking away.

"Atemu, I-" Yami started.

Atemu turned and punched Yami hard in the face, knocking Yami flat on his ass. "Nothing you do can make up fro this. Your own idiocy and selfishness are to blame. You are to blame." Atemu said. He turned and left the roof to go back downstairs.

No one moved. They were still in shock form what Atemu had said and done. They had never thought that Atemu would attack and threaten his own brother the way Atemu had just done.

Snapping out of his daze, Leo went over and helped Yami up. "Yami, you okay?" Leo asked.

"I-I don't know." Yami said.

"Leo, was what he said true?' tea whispered.

"What I know came form Atemu, but he wouldn't lie about something like that. Chances are, that's what Yugi told him except about the abuse. Atemu didn't know about that." Leo said. He looked right at Yami and said, "And there's a chance that he's right. If you had listened to him, this might have been avoided." Leo said.

"I never thought that something like this would happen." Yami said.

"Yami, when you brush someone off, that usually hurts, and you probably did it more than once. His father abusing him is something that Yugi would have told only you because you're the only one he trusts enough to." Leo said.

"Then this is my fault." Yami said.

"Partly, yes. You are in love with Yugi, but you didn't want to lose his friendship, so you dated Tea to try and make Yugi think you were straight, but it ended up straining your relationship with him. You may have damaged your friendship with him. By not talking with him, Yugi began to get the wrong idea and thought that you didn't care. As far as what happened to him, that's not your fault. Yugi's father is to blame for him being in the hospital." Leo said.

"I feel so awful." Tea said.

"Yeah. We didn't even realize that something was wrong." Malik said.

"I used to know when even the slightest thing was wrong with him." Yami serif softly.

Leo sighed. "Yami, you said that no one was getting hurt by this. Tea was hurt because she likes you and thought she had a chance with you. You were hurt because you ere denying the truth. However, Yugi was hurt most of all because he felt that you didn't care, and think that hurt worse than anything else." Leo said.

Yuesei sighed. "Let's go see how Yugi is doing." Yuesei said.

The group headed back down to the ER waiting room where Atemu was.

Leo saw Ben and said, "Ben, how's Yugi?"

"Sorry, Leo, but I can't tell you that." Ben said.

Leo frowned. "Why not? When his grandfather is away, I am Yugi's guardian." Leo said.

"Yeah, but blood outranks that." Ben said.

"What do you mean?" Leo asked.

"Yugi's twin brother is here, and he's got the papers that give him rights over you. He's the one I have to tell everything to." Ben said.

"What brother?" Yami asked.

"This boy had all the credentials that proved him to be Yugi Moto's twin brother. They look almost exactly alike. There was only one difference." Ben said.

"Like what?" Marik asked.

"See for yourself." Ben said. He turned and said, "Mr. Moto."

A young boy turned around to be revealed as Heba.

It was clear from one look that the only difference between Yugi and Heba was the color of their skin. Yugi had pale skin where Heba had tanned skin.

Atemu's eyes widened at the sight of Heba. "Heba." Atemu breathed, noticing instantly that Heba looked exactly like his husband from ancient Egypt.

That's chapter 4. I hope you liked it.

I thought that Atemu needed to tell Yami off, and the punch was an added bonus.

You'll see the gang's reaction to Heba, and Heba's reaction to them as well as what Heba's going to do to protect Yugi.

R&R.
