Abi-Chan

"He's dying nurse!" Duke yelled running back into the room followed by a nurse. I looked up in a blind panic and I burst into tears, I was losing my best friend, the one who was closest to me was slipping before my very eyes. The nurse alerted her fellow colleagues and once again I was pushed from the room in screams of guilty tears. The commotion immediately woke the two albinos and they started freaking out. Ryou started crying and screaming as a five year old would, and his twin lover comforted him.

Duke had his hand on my shoulder as I watched in terror. I bit my fingers as I cried. I couldn't believe he was going. "It's my fault, it should be me lying in that bed," I cried. Duke yelled at me for saying such things, but it was true, I truly felt it. Inside that room was me and Yugi dying. I couldn't bear to watch my abiou slip away like that, my heart tore into a million pieces and shattered on the floor with my tears. "Please don't give up Yugi!" I cried. His heart rate slowed again. I screamed another cry out in grief. Duke started to shake ever so slightly. He wasn't crying, he was the strong one.

"Yugi's dying Bakura, not Yugi he's so innocent, he hasn't done anything wrong," Ryou wept and Bakura settled his cries. Ryou was crying like I was, and Bakura stayed so strong for him. I watched on in terror as the nurses and doctors fussed around his bedside. Bakura looked into my eyes, he knew that Yugi was dying. He knew that my only family was being taken away from me, because I was selfish and pushed him away. God my heart ached and pained for Yugi, I paid more attention to a girl, to what really mattered to me and now I'd never forgive myself. How will I live on? "Yugi!" I screamed at him.

Yugi's heart monitor stopped completely and the blank green line buzzed across the screen. "No!" I screamed, tears tearing at my cheeks. His heart gave up because I neglected him and now my heart was giving up too. The nurses pressed on his chest to revive his wounded heart. My heart stopped also. I wanted to die. Nothing happened despite the nurses efforts. "NO YUGI please don't leave me!" I cried in despair and guilt, gripping Duke's jacket like a cushion. Duke looked down. I cried all my last tears with Ryou joining my chorus of angry and guilty screams and cries of despair.

"Yugi don't die, you deserve better!" Ryou screamed. Bakura rocked him gently soothing him. Duke and I watched on in horror, I was as red as the blood that was on his shirt earlier, the boy I once knew was gone. He'd left me, and I deserved it. The nurses retrieved the heart shockers. I heard them charge and the nurses all yelling at each other. They shocked him once and nothing happened. I cried all the tears my eyes could muster. My teeth gritted together as I tensed. Ryou screamed angrily. Bakura tensed his muscles and held the wild and hurt albino as he screamed his feelings out to the world. Duke was starting to break down, his shoulders shook as he watched on.

They shocked him again and yet again the little boy I felt closest too remained dead. I turned away mourning my loss. I couldn't handle watching the horrific scene. I wanted to go find a scalpel and stab myself in the heart, just like what happened to Yugi, because without him, life wasn't worth it, he kept me going through out these times, he helped me together in my troubling times, he played dual monsters with me, he taught me right from wrong. He taught me to learn my new surroundings and without him, it just wasn't worth it.

Duke patted my shoulder, he mourned as well. I balled my fists.

I had nothing left to lose, Lexi meant nothing compared to Yugi, and I can't believe that I have only just realized how much the little cute porcupine meant to me But as he always used to say, be careful, you don't know what you have until you lose it and now I understood what he meant. Yugi meant the whole world to me. "I'm Sorry Yugi!" I screamed, I had no more tears left to cry. "I'm so sorry," I repeated out of breath and swallowing the lump embedded in my throat. I heard them hit Yugi once more with the shockers.

It was useless he was gone.

I'd ignored him and now I'd pay the price. "I'm so, so sorry," I sighed crying again. It was then that I heard a small noise. I turned and the monitor showed activity.

Again a bleep. I noticed another and another and another. He was coming back. His heart again began to beat, he was alive.

I choked on my tears and cried tears of happiness and relief. "He's alive!" I cried choking. Ryou joined my relief. Duke and Bakura breathed deeply with relief and I fell to the floor.

Yugi was alive.

I couldn't believe it; he had given me a second chance. "He forgives you," Duke said with a relieved and happier half smile. I got to my feet. The nurses bustled and the doctors packed away the equipment. They all left the room and continued to do their jobs after they switched the crucial alert alarm on the monitor, so they'd know if it would happen again. I ran into the room and collapsed next to the bed and cried next to him. "Thank you Yugi!" I wept. I stayed with him. I sat in the seat next to his bed and once again I watched him and slightly sobbed until I fell asleep.

I was awoken naturally this time.

I sat up and looked around. I noticed Duke was asleep on the outside chairs with Ryou and Bakura, only he was sleeping two chairs away from them, arms folded and back against the wall sleeping by himself. I yawned and sat up. I noticed Yugi was stable and fine in his sleeping state as he was earlier before he scared me half to death.

It was then that I felt the small cold metal hit my chest. I jumped because of it. I looked down.

My treasures.

I lifted them out of my shirt and noticed the metal clip was cold, this what it was. My, I hadn't noticed these in a while. I looked down at them both, feeling their solid and sentimental comfort. I chuckled. "Remember these pal?" I said waving them at him while staring at them. I smirked. "Remember the day you gave me this one? My most two favorite treasures in the whole universe but you pal, The Dark Magician and Kuriboh cards. Dark Magician is my favorite, remember when I said I'd put it round my neck as it is my most favorite monster. Remember that Yugi? Remember when I said that and then you said to have a gift from you. Your most valued card Kuriboh, that meant the world to me pal, I have never taken them off. I just wanted you to know Yugi, I'm sorry pal, I'm sorry for rejecting you," I said as I repeated one of my most favorite memories of him giving me the card.

I traced the shape of the cards before returning them to below my shirt. I leant on his bed, I had my face buried in the covers. "Really Yugi I am sorry," I said with a slight tear running from my eye.

"I forgive you pal," I heard a voice say.

I lifted my head in disbelief.

Yugi was awake and he smiled at me. I leapt forwards and hugged him. He was okay, he was alive and most of all he forgave me. I nearly yelped, my voice was all high pitched, the guilt was drowned over with relief. Duke woke up and noticed. "He's awake!" Duke cried happily which immediately awoke Ryou and Bakura. "I'm sorry I wasn't listening to you Yugi," I sobbed. Just to see his beautiful Amethyst eyes, brought me back to life. "It's not your fault Atem, you were getting your life together, I can understand that," Yugi replied weakly. "Who was it? How long have they been doing this to you?" I quickly snapped, I wanted to know. I wasn't just going to put him/her in the same state, I was gonna kill them.

"It, it was Kushiro, Atem. He said if I didn't tell him where you were, he'd hurt me. I couldn't let him get to you, so I didn't tell him and then he attacked me," Yugi feebly replied, his voice wobbled as he spoke. It was then it hit me, he nearly died protecting me. He nearly bled to death, just to keep me out of harm's way. Kushiro, the high school bully that hit him before, he obviously wanted to get me back for what I done to him.

I was gonna kill him.

"Forget about him for now, I'm so glad you're alive pal, I don't know what I would do without you!" I choked reeling him in for another hug. "You'd go and live your life, with Lexi," Yugi replied. My relief turned to concern. The voice he spoke sounded with disgust and that confused me. "No, Lexi means nothing to me, without you," I replied. He smiled and took my hand. I felt, once in my life.

Complete.

"Yugi! You're okay!" Ryou squeaked as they all burst into the room. "How you feeling?" Bakura asked with a harsh tone as he always had. "You okay dude?" Duke asked. Yugi just smiled back at them. My fists clenched but his squirmed in mine and I released my tension on his palm. "Duke, it was Kushiro who did this," I spat. "The high school bully?" Duke asked. I nodded. Yugi nodded sadly when Duke looked at him. "Let's kill him dude," Duke finished, I could tell he was just as angry. His voice had changed from calm and cool to harsh and brittle. "But," Yugi hesitated.

"No buts Yugi, I'm gonna kill him," I replied. I was harsh and seething with rage. Suddenly the doors burst open. We all turned around. "Is he alright?!" Mindy cried running through the door. Lexi stood in the doorway, she looked shocked and she was shaking. I stood up. "Lexi," I began, I let go of Yugi's hand. Yugi looked at me in a concerned way. "Why didn't you call us earlier?!" snapped Mindy to Duke. Duke began to persist back as best as he could and Lexi ran over to me and was angry when I again pushed her away. "I didn't know," she began. "He's fine," I snapped. As I had come to know, If a girl was gonna come between me and Yugi, the girl can get lost. Yugi meant more to me than any girl. Yugi stared at us with a cheeky smile. "Yugi this is my girlfriend Lexi," I introduced, she smiled half sweetly at him and received an annoyed sigh. "This is Mindy, Lexi's best friend, also my girlfriend," Duke said itching his neck nervously. "Who did this to you?" Mindy asked. "Kushiro," I replied. "The bully?" Lexi asked back. "Yeah," Yugi harshly. I breathed heavily. "Listen can you do me a favor girls?" Duke asked. "Sure," Mindy replied. Lexi nodded. "Can you go home and leave us, me and Atem have got something we need to get," Duke replied.

"Yeah, we can do that," Mindy replied. We thanked them. Duke smiled and continued talking after they left. Yugi squeezed my hand and smiled at me. Duke escorted the two albinos out to give us a moment. "Yugi," I began. "Atem, you need to know, I love you," Yugi replied. I was shocked. Like I had been slapped. At the same time my heart gave a huge sigh of relief and liked the idea. "I love you too," I whispered. He smiled back at me. I leaned forwards and hugged him, he kissed me on the cheek and sparks flew. I wanted to stay with him, but I wanted Kushiro dead even more. I asked the albinos to stay with Yugi and keep him company. Bakura didn't like the idea but Ryou insisted on it so it worked out fine. We walked up the road to Duke's car.

"Where do you think he'll be first?" I asked Duke. "Well I seen him on the bridge at Domino Park many times, we should try there," Duke replied. I nodded as he pulled away. However, it was a different story once we reached the park. We walked into Tea and Noah. I nearly laughed, I had to kick Duke to stop him from laughing, Tea just gave us an evil look and continued to walk hand in hand with him. We were in sight of the bridge. But as we walked over, the guy we thought was Kushiro wasn't him, it was his stupid little friend who tries to be like him. He was beating the crap out of this little boy, just like Kushiro did to little Yugi.

At first he didn't notice us. Until Duke punched him in the side.

He fell and let go of the boy, who also fell to the floor and couldn't move because of his injuries. The young boy looked about thirteen years old, black hair and stripy top. Grey jeans, he kinda reminded me of Mokuba Kiaba. Anyways the bully looked up at Duke. "Pick on someone your own size," Duke spat. The bully then looked at me, his ugly blue eyes. Blue jeans, white grubby shirt and short brown hair that looked greasy and matted. "Kushiro wants you," He said with a smirk. I chuckled lightly and bent down to his ear. "I'm looking for him too," I spat. "Kushiro is going to kill you, just like he did your friend," He laughed. My sarcastic smile turned into me gritting my teeth. I kicked him in the gut. Duke kicked him continuously, while I punched him a few times.

After our little rage was over the bully lay beaten on the soft grass. Blood streamed from his gashes in his head, his nose, his lip and his chest. He was badly beaten up. The little black haired boy looked up at us in disbelief, as we were his biggest admired hero's. I didn't really much care for the boy at this moment. Duke spat on the bully. Once again I crouched down and said into his ear. "Not before I kill him first. Tell Kushiro he's next," I spat. The tone in my own voice scared me, but again that didn't bother me. The bully grunted. Duke helped the little boy up. "You okay dude?" he asked. "Thank you. You guys are truly my hero's," The boy said with a smile. "Where do you live?" Duke asked. "Camberland Avenue," the boy replied. "Next to the hospital?" Duke asked. The boy nodded. "We'll give you a lift, come on, we're going to the hospital anyways," I replied.

Duke looked at me. I gave him a look and he smiled. The boy didn't like this idea.

"My mum was supposed to meet me at the other side of the park," He said. "Oh ok, suit yourself," Duke shrugged. The next thing I remember, we were back at the hospital. Yugi, Ryou and Bakura were all laughing together. It was nice to see Yugi back to normal. The doctor said that he could leave the hospital in two days after he has been clarified that he was safe to leave. Ryou bought Yugi a balloon and Bakura bought Yugi three packets of new cards and a card. Yugi loved his gifts and promised to use his newly bought duel monsters cards in his deck. They were all bonding together and that pleased me and Duke.

However our minds were not clouded. Kushiro was going to die, I promised that to myself. It ends here Kushiro, so watch out, you messed with the wrong yaoi pairing.

So watch out, I'm coming for you……

Sooo wat u think, Atem is beginning to make it up to Yugi.
