I actually managed to write this chapter today in study hall while talking to my friend, listening to music, and texting my other friend xD So sorry that it's a bit short but I figured all of you amazing readers deserved a double update after all this time. I'm going to start the next chapter tomorrow during study hall, but I don't know if I'll finish it then because I want it to be looonnnngggggg.

If you have any questions leave them in a review and I'll try to remember to reply lol


A cracked skull.

Joey had managed to crack his skull.

How does someone crack their skull that easily?

Yugi looked down at his best friend with sadness. The doctors said that the way that he hit his head managed to put a slight crack in his skull. They had said it had also managed to put him into a slight coma. It wouldn't be permanent, but they were still unsure of how long it would be until he woke up. Seto was sitting in a chair next to Joey's bed, holding his hand and gently rubbing his thumb over the top of it. He kept his face straight, but you could see in his eyes that he was ready to break. The others had decided to go back to the mansion so that they didn't crowd the room, leaving only Joey, Seto, Yugi, and Yami.

Yami came up behind Yugi and wrapped his arms around his waist, gently putting his head down on the hikari's right shoulder.

"It'll be alright Aibou. He's too stubborn to not wake up soon." Yami assured, allowing Yugi to lean back against his chest with a sigh.

"You're right Yami, he's tough. I think we should probably get going though and let Seto have some time alone with him." Yami nodded in response and walked over to Seto and put a firm hand on his shoulder.

"He'll be alright cousin. He's been through worse, and he will pull through on this just like he has every time before." Yami said in a powerful, yet sympathetic, voice. Seto let out a small sigh and looked up at the ex-Pharaoh.

"I know Yami, but it's still hard. I hate seeing him like this, so drained of energy and just laying here. I just can't wait until he wakes up so that I can see that goofy grin of his again." Yami nodded in understanding and patted his shoulder once more before heading towards the door, Yugi following silently behind him.

"We're going to go back to the mansion with the others. We understand if you want to stay here, but please don't run yourself ragged this time. You saw upset he was last time he was hurt and saw that you had been neglecting yourself." Yami lightly scolded, referring to when Joey had been almost killed by his father. Seto had completely shut everyone out, even Mokuba.

"Yes, I know. I'll try not to do that this time." Seto replied, but you could tell that he was lying. He was not planning on leaving Joey's side until he was better, and the pair could see that.

"Please do cousin. We will come back tomorrow during visiting hours. I'm guessing you're spending the night?" Yami asked, already assuming the answer.

"Yes." Seto replied flatly, looking back down at Joey.

"Alright, we will see you tomorrow. Have a good night." Yami said as he gently started to lead Yugi out of the room.

"Yea, have a nice night Seto." Yugi put in, trying to sound cheerful.

"I'll try." It was all the reply that they got before they headed out the door.

It was now early April and the gang were all sitting around a table in the cafeteria at their school. They were all chatting happily as the ate their lunches.

"- Can you believe it? Now I have to work in the back and I'm not allowed to associate with the customers!" Marik ranted, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well, you did tell a lady that she looked like an obese whale…" Ryou commented, having been sharing the shift with Marik when he got demoted at his job at the JCPenny's. Marik switched his gaze from the floor up to Ryou's face.

"But she was fat! I was just telling her the truth!" Marik countered, ignoring his yami's laugh next to him.

"That's why I'm glad that I don't have a job." Bakura commented.

"Too much drama." Malik added in. They both quickly high-fived each other across the table without looking at each other as they gazed at their hikari's. Yugi laughed as he watched the four of them start an argument over whether the other two yamis should get jobs or not. Yugi himself was given the Kame Game Shop when his grandfather had died and was now running it along with Yami. It was doing very successful, most likely due to the fact that it was owned by the King of Games.

Yugi turned back down to his almost empty tray. It originally had been filled to the edges, but now only held a lonely chicken finger. Yugi looked down on it with pity.

"Don't worry little chicken finger, I'll lead you to all of your friends." He picked it up and gave it a look of sympathy before taking a quick bite at it that could rival Bakura when he eats steak. Yami looked at him strangely, but decided not to comment on Yugi's strange eating habit. Yugi quickly finished it and was happy that he was finally full. He looked down and saw that his now four month baby bump was starting to show slightly through his baggy uniform, which he found odd. Wasn't he suppose to be smaller at only four months. He shrugged his shoulders and decided to focus on the conversation everyone else was having.

'Maybe it's just a big baby.' He thought. He then became distracted and laughed at Ryou smacking the back of Bakura's head, completely forgetting about his previous worry.


Please don't kill me! *Puts hands up in defense* Review~
