Chapter 2
The first broken heart and the first heart healer
Yami's P.O.V.
I had no idea where I was. I was completely heart broken, like the love of my life had betrayed me just this second, not over five thousand years ago. I wasn't sure if I was entirely in control of my body. I wasn't even sure if I even had a body any more. If I did then there was something seriously wrong because I couldn't feel my body at all. But I was sure of one thing…that beeping noise wasn't helping my headache at all!
I let my eyes slowly flicker open. Then quickly snapped them shut again. After a moment, I carefully opened my eyes again. The glare of the white walls was blinding. The more I took in my surroundings, the more I began to panic. This wasn't the room at the game shop that I'd fallen asleep in. Still, I'm used to that now.
Ever since I defeated Malik, I've been having these weird dreams. Well they're memories of my life in ancient Egypt if you want to be accurate. They are always nasty, horrible and depressing. And I'm always injured when I wake up. Yugi doesn't know, his grandpa doesn't know. The only person who does know is Bakura, and I didn't even really choose to tell him. But as a result, when I wake up I'm usually at his and Ryou's house. But this wasn't Bakura's house! Oh help!
I was still freaking out when I finally saw the source of the beeping noise. It was one of those heart rate machines that they have in hospitals, and it was hooked up to me. Hey did that mean……
"Yami!!!!!!!" There was a blur of blue and gold before something jumped onto the bed and flung its arms around me. Pain shot through my body. Oh so I do have a body! I looked down to see what was attacking me.
"Yugi?"
"Yami! Oh Yami. I thought you were going to die!" O.K. I was really confused now. I managed to peel Yugi off of me and push him back so I could see him properly, and he wasn't hurting me. I looked into his eyes, and could see tears spilling down his cheeks. Fear and concern were written right across his face.
"Who said I was going to die Yugi?"
"All the doctors." Then seeing my blank expression, he took a deep, shuddering breath, made himself comfortable on the edge of the bed, and began to explain every thing.
"Well, we're not entirely sure what happened. We got a call at about one in the morning. It woke me and grandpa up; I saw that your bed was empty and I just knew something was wrong. Turns out I was right. Grandpa was still on the phone when I got downstairs. The call was from the hospital. By the time he'd finished talking and hung up, grandpa was totally white, like he'd just seen a ghost or something. He told me that you'd been attacked and we had to go to the hospital. Apparently, some boy dialled 911 and when he got through; he said that he found you all beat up by the river in the park. But when the ambulance got there you were alone. Someone had put you in the recovery position, and left a jacket wrapped round you with a note pinned to it." At this point he stopped to point to a jacket draped over the back of chair in the corner of the room.
"The note had your name address and telephone number on it and said that they were written in your wallet. They wanted to find the boy to thank him, if you had been out there, in the rain, in your condition much longer, you really would have died." A smile crossed my lips. God Bakura. When I get out of here I'm giving you the biggest chocolate bar you have ever seen!
"They've given you very strong painkillers so you shouldn't feel anything." Ah so that's why my body's so numb.
"You have no idea how glad I am that you're safe." Whispered Yugi snuggling closer to me. "I've always wanted a big brother. And now I have one." Big brother. I liked the sound of that. I gently pulled Yugi closer; I could sort of feel his warmth against my icy, injured body.
"Don't worry little brother. I really am fine." I promised. We could have stayed like that for ages, but then a nurse came through the door. When she saw I was awake, she let out a startled gasp and left the room. Me and Yugi were still exchanging startled glances when she returned with grandpa and a young female doctor. Grandpa rushed over to the bed.
"Yami! I was so worried! What were you thinking sneaking out of the house at that time? Where were you? What where you doing? Come on answer me!" I looked down at my clasped hands on the sheets in front of me. I couldn't tell him. I would, just not at that second. For now it just has to be between me and the tomb robber. I didn't even want him to know. So please don't make me tell you too. Please?
Tears splashed onto my trembling hands. But then I felt grandpa's hand on my cheek, brushing away my tears.
"Look it's all right. I'm, sorry I yelled at you. It doesn't matter what you were doing, all that matters is that you're safe now." He pulled me into a hug and let me cry on his shoulder. After a minuet I pulled away, still crying.
"Good grief Yami!" exclaimed grandpa chuckling. "You're almost as bad as Yugi. He wouldn't stop crying all night. Look! He's not even stopped properly now!" Spluttering with laughter I looked down at the boy with his arms still wrapped round my waist. Sure enough, he was gazing back up at me with those big, innocent, violet eyes, tears steadily flowing down his cheeks. I couldn't help but fall into a fresh fit of the giggles. Yugi pouted, which only made me laugh more.
"Don't laugh at me." Yugi said defensively. He sounded so sweet. I laughed all the more. Grandpa was laughing too by this time; the nurse had to use the heart rate monitor to support her self she was laughing so hard. Even the doctor looked like she was fighting back laughter.
"Yami, I'll poke you."
"Ahhhh! The devil!" I chuckled in a fake scared voice, making a cross with my fingers and holding it out towards Yugi. His response to this was to promptly poke the palm of my left hand. I had to burry my face in my pillow because I was laughing so hysterically. Then the doctor cleared her throat, and we all sobered up.
"Hello. Your name's Yami isn't it?" she asked. I nodded slightly, suddenly really shy for some reason.
"I'm doctor Lyra, but you can just call me Grace if you want. How old are you then Yami?"
"17. Nearly 18." I whispered without taking my eyes off the sheet in front of me.
"Really? You look so young!"
"It runs in the family." Well it wasn't exactly a lie was it?
"Well, it's good to see you awake. Now you were injured quite badly. You have deep cuts on your back, chest, stomach, arms and legs. I'm afraid some of these will leave permanent scars. You also have a large stab wound to your stomach. This will heal, but will also leave a scar. The bruises will all heal and fade normally." I nodded to show I was keeping up. "However, there is one particular bruise that was defiantly not caused by a fist." I had a pretty good idea where this bruise was. Grace reached out and touched the side of my neck. A shudder ran down my spine. So I was right then.
"Can you remember how they did this to you?" I took a deep breath.
"She bit me." I mumbled to the floor.
"She?" Oh shit. I'd really done it now. They were all looking at me expectantly. I swallowed.
"The person that attacked me was female." It was a whisper but everyone heard it.
"She bit you?" Shrieked grandpa. I nodded. He swore under his breath. Grace suddenly grabbed my wrists.
"Yami can you remember her? Did you see her? What did she look like?"
"I don't know!" I suddenly screamed before bursting into tears. "I didn't see her! I don't remember her! I don't know what she looks like! I just don't know!" I pulled my knees up to my chest and hid my face from view. I heard Grace speak.
"Maybe we should let him be alone for a bit."
I heard the door open and someone leaving. I still didn't move. It would only have made my heartache worse. Grace hadn't mentioned how deep the scars in my heart would be. She hadn't said how long I'd have to wait before the bruises on my soul faded. She had given me painkillers but even they couldn't numb my inner pain. And I was sure I'd never heal.
"Yami?" grandpa's voice was low and comforting. "Yami, they've gone now. It's just us now. Just you and me and Yugi." I opened my mouth, ready to tell him everything. But then I looked into his concerned violet eyes, so much like Yugi's, and knew I couldn't tell him. I had to tell him something though. I didn't exactly lie, I just edited the truth.
I made it so that when I was attacked I was knocked out. While I was unconscious, I remembered part of my life as a pharaoh. I said I remembered when me and my queen broke up and that I know felt absolutely terrible. Like I said; not a lie.
"Don't worry Yami. It will be all right." With that said grandpa got up and left the room. When he returned, he was carrying a small tray with three steaming cups of hot chocolate.
"Best cure for a broken heart I know." He said, handing one to both me and Yugi. He was right too. It wasn't the hot chocolate that helped though, it was the fact that I was there with my little brother and my grandpa. It's tricky trying to drink hot chocolate when you have little or no feeling in your hands. I made a comment about this and that got us started. We laughed about everything that entered our heads until I suddenly thought of something.
"Hey grandpa, how long was I asleep?"
"About two hours." He checked his watch and suddenly leaped up. "Hell on earth! It's nearly 4:30 in the morning! Right, Yami you have to go to sleep right now. You too Yugi…"
"But grandpa! I can't just go home and leave Yami here!" I was very touched.
"You don't have to Yugi. There letting us stay in the hospital while Yami's getting better."
"Oh. Night then Yami."
Grandpa leaned forward to give me a hug.
"See you in the morning Yami, sleep well." I then gave Yugi a very tight hug and a kiss on the forehead.
"Sweet dreams Yugi." Then they left together.
Normal P.O.V.
Yami had never been so restless. He tossed and turned trying to get comfy. But no matter how he laid, he just couldn't get to sleep. He didn't want to either. He was scared that if he fell asleep again then he would have another dream. Even though he'd been having these dreams for over six weeks now, he still couldn't get used to them. He couldn't control what he did while he was having one of those dreams. Besides he'd only get injured and if that happened while he was I the state he was in he would almost defiantly die.
He would already be dead if it wasn't for Bakura. Bakura. I wonder how you found me. The thief had good timing if nothing else. He hadn't only saved him then, he'd done it before. Yami couldn't help but smile as the memory of the first time he had woken from a dream his house. Not the first time he had one of those dreams, the first time he'd had one and woken up at Bakura's house. He'd nearly punched the poor tomb robber thinking he'd kidnapped him.
The pain killers would probably ware off soon so if he was going to get to sleep at all it would have to be soon. He turned over and let the cool breeze from the window blow gently blow across his face. It was nice, soothing. Gradually his mind began to drift into happy peaceful dreams, so unlike the night mares that sometimes tormented him.
The slow steady beeping of the heart monitor filled Yami's ears as he slowly opened his eyes. The sun was just coming up, giving the room an odd grey light. At first glace, Yami was alone in the room, but then again, why would he have tingles powerful enough to wake him up, running up and down his spine if he was truly alone?
"No Yami. You're not alone."
Yami sat up and looked around the room suspiciously, desperate to know who the owner of the little girly voice was. His eyes fell on a pair of shoes he could just make out through the shadows. As he watched, a small girl of about six emerged from the darkness. She was wearing an old fashioned blue silk dress that went down to her ankles.
"Who are you?"
"That isn't important, Yami." Her voice was soft, like you'd expect but also surprisingly wise and all knowing.
"Hey! How do you know my name?" Yelped Yami.
"That isn't important either."
"Then what is important then?" Yami was more than a little scared now.
"All that you need to know is that I was sent to earth from another place."
"Are you an angel?" Gasped Yami, all his fear was gone.
The little girl didn't answer him, just smiled sweetly and began to approach him again. She sat on the edge of the bead in the beam of faint dawn light coming from the window. Yami could now see her hair was a pale, wispy, blonde. It just about reached the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her eyes were an unbelievable bright, baby, blue. She suddenly placed her hands on Yami's shoulders and forced him onto the bed.
"Now lets see what I can do for you." She said moving her hands from his shoulders, and began to run her fingers up and down his arm and then across his chest. All the numbness vanished abruptly from Yami's body to be replaced by searing pain. Yami attempted to shove her away, but only found himself slipping into darkness yet another time.
Her work done, the little girl straitened up and disappeared from view. Leaving the room still and silent. Silent, except for the sound of the heart rate monitor slowing to a single, long, ominous beep as it displayed a straight, flat line.
End Chapter
Everyone except me: Gasps.
Me: Well, well, well. What's going to happen now?
Yugi: What have you done to Yami?
Me: you will never know unless they R&R.
Joey: Yer evil girl!
