Sorry the chapter wasn't up sooner! I have been soooo busy! X.X

Lisa: So busy that you couldn't write to your story? *Gasps*

… Yes. I had UIL for choir

Lisa: which they got all two's for singing and 2,2,3 for sight reading,

And I've been getting my room ready.

Lisa: ready for what? *Mocking the questions*

x.x Glad that you asked, Lisa. I finally got my own room! And I have been busy with it. I've been moving all of my mom's stuff from upstairs to downstairs and all out of the room. And I've been washing the walls so I can paint them a nice shade of green - -

Lisa: And that's all the readers what to read!

Hey! But I wasn't done!

Lisa: Sorry, shouldn't have detailed it! ^^ Now on to the reading! Enjoy!

Chapter fifteen:

Over the next four days, as Yugi regained the strength he apparently lost back, things were not at all quiet. The police would often visit, asking him questions about Cassandra and what had occurred during the last year and a half. Each day a new officer would come and ask either the same question as the others or different ones. They'd stay for an hour before leaving.

It was never quiet during the day due to him getting many visits, but not only from the police, but from his friends too. It appeared that Tea, Joey, Tristan, and Ryou were spreading news around the whole school that he was back and in the hospital. And guess who his first visitors were? You guessed it, the Kaiba brothers.

Flashback:

The day after Yugi woke up due to the cure:

He was walking around his room, complete boredom written all over his face. He had convinced his friends to go back to school since they needed their education, and wished he hadn't. Now he was alone, bored, and had nothing to do except walk around like a zombie in the Walking Dead. ((A TV show on AMC. Watch it! A-Maz-ing!))

"My, my, my, so it seems he has returned." A voice made Yugi stop his pace. He turned around.

"Yugi!" Right as he turned around, someone about his height and with long black hair hugged him. Behind him, the kid's brother stood in the doorway with his arms crossed at his chest and his usual glare plastered on his face.

"M-Mokuba! Kaiba!" Yugi managed to say as he hugged Mokuba back.

The two brothers looked exactly the same since he last saw them, though a bit older. They even acted the same; Mokuba being a cheer-y bundle of joy and Kaiba rarely expressing anything except for his usual glare/ scowl.

"Oh my Ra, it's so great to see you again, Yugi!" Mokuba said as he leaned back. He smiled real big.

Yugi smiled back. "It's good to see you again too, Mokuba." He looked over to Kaiba who just shrugged.

"So Yugi, what happened to you? Where were you?" Came the questions.

"Easy there, Mokuba, you don't want to smother him with questions," Kaiba said in an un-Kaiba manner. He walked further into the room.

/Kaiba seems different./ Yugi commented to Yami.

'That seems rather odd.' Yami agreed.

"Oh, right, sorry Yugi." The youngest smiled sheepishly. "It's just been a while, y'know?"

Yugi nodded. "It's alright. But, does the city Yokomama sound familiar to you?" He nodded. "Well, that's where I was at."

"Do you know the name that the person that kidnapped you?"

"Mokuba!" Kaiba's tone turned sharp like a father scowling a young kid for licking the icing off of the cake too early.

"Sorry again, Yugi."

Said name shook his head. "Her name is Cassandra Sensamino." If he had not been watching the young CEO, he would have missed his surprised reaction.

"Really?" Mokuba asked before looking over to his brother. "Nii-sama, isn't she one of the people - -,"

"Yes." Was his short, quick response. When Yugi looked at the two brothers with a curious look, Kaiba let out an impatient sigh. I met her a few years ago on a business trip. A few company's were having this party together and discussing how their sales were going. I happened to have met Cassandra."

"Do you remember what you talked about?" Yugi asked, wondering if he could give him any useful information.

He shrugged. "Not really. She just stayed on a light subject about money."

'That doesn't really help any,' Yugi thought. 'But, it is kind of strange that Kaiba knows her.'

For a while, the two brothers, well Mokuba mostly, talked to Yugi about little things. Stuff like what he was going to do now that he was back.

"You're about a year behind in school now, what are you gonna do?"

Yugi shrugged. "Probably do summer school or recovery. As long as they don't hold me back and make me redo a year over, I'll be good." He never really thought about school before. Would they hold him back or could he just make the lost time up? He remembered studying a bit at Cassandra's. Devin insisted him to do it and it also, for some weird reason, calmed him down. Probably because it reminded him of home where he always studied for tests.

When the brothers left, something about having a lot of paper work that needed to get done, Yugi started to pace his room again, restless.

End of Flashback:

"I've been in here for ten days. When can I leave?" Yugi whined to Grandpa.

Grandpa chuckled as he flipped through a People magazine Tea had left behind. "Whenever the doctor says you can."

The teen groaned. "Which will probably be never. I wanna sleep on my own bed for once!" Yugi, who was pacing the small room, collapsed on the messy hospital bed. Grandpa smiled and shook his head.

'Getting a little restless, Aibou?' Yami chuckled as he appeared out of the Millennium Puzzle which was right next to Yugi.

/Yes!/ He groaned in his head. /I'm tired of being here. I wanna go home; see the game shop and my room./

'I agree. I'm tired of looking at these bland walls.'

Yugi raised an eyebrow and tilted his head at his darker self. /You're tired? You barely even have to look at them./

Yami smiled, but before he could respond, the door to the room opened. Yugi's doctor, Dr. Cots ((xD)) walked in with a clip board in hand.

Grandpa looked up from his magazine and grinned. "Dr. Cots, what can we do for you today?"

Dr. Cots is a young man about in his thirties. He had light brown hair that was cut short, bright blue eyes, and a warm smile. He was about six feet tall and slender. Today, the doctor was wearing brown khaki pants and an orange shirt hidden beneath his white lab coat.

"I'm just here to give you some good news." He smiled a pearly white. "Our young patient has been recovering nicely and hasn't shown any bad signs. I don't see why you are needed here anymore."

Yugi shot up and looked like a kid on Christmas day. His eyes lit up and Yami had to stifle a laugh. "You mean I can go home?"

Dr. Cots chuckled from the teen's enthusiasm. "Yes. As soon as you are ready and your grandfather signs you out."

XxxxX

Yugi stood next to the bed, all ready to go. His belongings had been packed up for the past three days so he didn't have much packing to do. He felt relieved that he was finally wearing his own clothes; jeans, a clean white shirt (underwear 3) and shoes.

He grabbed the chain of the puzzle and slowly put it on over his head. Once it rested in place, he let out a relaxed sigh.

'What is it, Aibou?' Yami had disappeared back into the puzzle when the doctor appeared, just an old habit. Now he was floating beside his partner.

"You know, it's not a dream. Sometimes I keep imagining that I'm just going to wake up and be back at Cassandra's. And, I don't want that to happen. But now, with everything that's happening, I can tell this isn't a dream." He whispered. "It's all real. And . . . I'm glad."

Yami smiled and rested a transparent hand on his lights shoulder. "It's good to have you back, Yugi."

"It's good to be back."

XxxxX

The car ride home was short, but Yugi stared out the window like a new puppy. They passed by Yugi's school which was still in session. They passed by many buildings that took his breath away. All too soon, they arrived home.

Yugi stepped out of the car and grabbed his bag. Bringing his attention to the building that awaited before him, he could feel his throat close up.

'Nothing's changed,' he thought. The Kame Game shop still looked the same from the bricks to the posters.

"Yugi, are you coming?" Grandpa called, already unlocking the door. Yugi nodded and walked after him.

Like the outside, nothing changed on the inside. The actual shop still looked exactly the same, the living room and kitchen too. Upstairs looked the same, however, one of the doors that was always opened, no matter what, was closed, not even opened a crack. And that was his room.

Yugi opened his bedroom door and walked in. Someone had already been in his room. The last time he had been in here, the books on his desk had been knocked over when he was trying to escape from Coby. Now, they were neatly stacked into place on his desk. Instead of his messy bed, the sheets were all nicely made and neat.

He slowly walked over to his bed and dropped his bag down just as his grandpa walked in.

"I cleaned your bedding and tidied up a bit." He said.

Yugi grinned. "Thanks, Jii-chan." He ran up to him and hugged him tight.

Grandpa ruffled his grandson's hair and hugged him back. "I'm just glad you are home." When the two parted, he continued, "Tea called. I told her you were already home. She said she was on her way home from school and that she, along with the two boys, were gonna drop by here."

Yugi nodded. "Alright." He looked around at the room he hadn't seen for a long time before adding, "I'll be in here."

Grandpa watched his grandson look around before turning away and exiting the room. "Just yell if you need anything." He called over his shoulder/

"Kay."

'So what are you going to do?' Yami materialized out of the puzzle.

/Um . . . now that you mention it, I don't really know./ He looked around his room before his gaze rested on the closet. The smaller room had the door ajar so you could see only a crack of darkness. He blinked and looked away. 'I could have sworn I saw something move.' He thought.

"I am kind of tired . . ." He muttered aloud to Yami. "But, I don't want to be asleep when Tea and the other two come over."

Yami nodded in understanding. 'Maybe you could unpack?' He suggested.

Yugi crossed over to his bed and unzipped his bag. He started pulling clothes out when a soft 'click' sounded.

Confused, he turned around and let a yelp out. Standing at the now closed door was Cassandra. She locked the door before turning to look at him and she smiled.

"Hello, Yugi. Glad to see you're alive and well . . . for now."
