Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh

A/N: I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Oh, and last chapter I failed to mention it but the gear that Yami had to put on was just a larger, more advanced duel disk like piece of equipment. He'd also had on a small piece of head gear, kind of like an ear piece, this was so tag team partners could communicate easier…or opponents could talk with one another with having to shout to be heard over the crowd.

Chapter 8

Atemu had returned to his and Yami's room in the Game Shop. He immediately set Yami on the bed. Atemu then locked the door with Shadow Magic. Yami's vulnerable enough as it is I am not going to take any chances with his safety. No one is going to be anywhere near him until he's back on his feet again.

Atemu sat down on the bed beside the unconscious Yami. He held his hand about an inch above Yami's face and focused, his hand glowed blue. He ran his hand above Yami's entire body focusing all his energy into his task. After he had finished he rested his hand in his lap and closed his eyes. This was not good.

One of the things darks could do was they could make magical scans over their lighter halves, to find out if anything was physically wrong with them. That was what Atemu had just done, and the rests were not pleasant. There were two main things that concerned Atemu, well okay three things, but the third thing might not be as bad as the other two. Atemu's main concern was the damage done to Yami's heart. The voltage Yami was shocked with was enough to nearly cause Yami's heart to stop, in fact had Yami not had contact with Shadow magic like he did it probably would have killed him. But regardless Yami's pacemaker was damaged as were one of the main muscles in Yami's heart. The second thing was the nerves were fried the entire length of the arm Yami had been wearing the new duel disk on, the nerve damage extended into Yami's chest. However, that had been the least of Atemu's concerns. Thanks to the head piece Yami had been wearing Yami had also received an electrical shock directly into his head. There was brain damage. Atemu just wouldn't know the extent until after Yami woke up.

Don't you worry Yami. Everything is going to be just fine. I'm here and I'll take care of everything. You'll be back to normal before you know it.

Atemu cradled Yami against his chest. Knowing that all he could do was wait until Yami woke up. He refused to consider the possibility that he wasn't going to wake up. That was just too horrible to even think about.

Fifteen minutes later there was pounding on the door to his and Yami's room as well as someone jiggling the lock.

"Atemu, it's me Yugi and the gang. I know you're in there, so please open the door we want to make sure that Yami's okay." Yugi said.

"Go Away." Atemu snapped. I am not taking any more chances with my lights life. He could have died today. I can't lose him. I won't.

"Atemu, come on Yami wouldn't want you to isolate him like this. So please let us in." Yugi pleaded.

"Yeah, we're his friends." Anzu piped up.

Atemu bit back a growl. There's no chance in duat that bitch is coming anywhere near Yami. "Go away. I am perfectly capable of taking care of Yami on my own, I don't need all of you in the way." Atemu snapped.

"Please Atemu." Yugi pleaded.

Atemu sighed, on the one side, he needed to make sure Yami was safe, but on the other hand Yami would be pissed if he knew Atemu was leaving Yugi out of the loop like this. "Fine Yugi, you can come in. Only you." Atemu said before he snapped his fingers unlocking the door.

Yugi slowly opened the door before walking into the room and closing the door behind him. He made his way over to the bed where Atemu was sitting with the still unconscious Yami's head resting in his lap. "So, how is he Atemu?" Yugi asked.

Atemu sighed, "Not good. He had damage done to his heart, brain and the nerves in his left arm are permanently fried as well as some of the nerves on the left side of his chest. I won't know the extent of the brain damage until he wakes up." Atemu said.

Yugi's eyes widened as Yugi put his hand to his mouth. "Oh God." Yugi whispered, tears gathering the corners of his eyes.

Atemu looked up at Yugi and did his best to put a smile on his face. "Don't worry Yugi, Yami'll be just fine. I'll make sure it. He'll be back on his feet in no time. Remember Yami's a fighter, he's not going to let a little thing like an electric shock beat him." Atemu said.

Yugi nodded, giving Atemu a watery smile, "You're absolutely right. I need to have faith." Yugi said.

The two sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Yugi slowly got to his feet. "Well, I guess I'll be going. I don't want to be in your way. But, Atemu can you promise me that you'll let me know when Yami wakes up."

"Yes Yugi, I promise I'll let you know." Atemu said.

Yugi smiled brightly, "Thanks Atemu that really means a lot to me." Yugi said before he left.

One Yugi was gone Atemu allowed the smile to fall from his face. Yami would have killed him if he hadn't have helped Yugi like he did. Yami had enough on his plate as is he didn't need to be having to worry about how Atemu upset Yugi on top of everything else.

"Please wake up Anku." Atemu whispered.

And it seemed as if the gods had answered his prays because Yami slowly blinked his eyes open. Atemu smiled brightly at Yami, "Yami you're awake thank Ra."

Yami looked at Atemu for a minute and whispered, "Até what happened to me?"

Atemu blinked and said, "You were shocked Anku. But don't worry about it you're going to be just fine. I'll make sure of it."

Yami nodded and snuggled closer to Atemu. Atemu slowly made to scoot out of bed. He had promised to let Yugi know when Yami woke up and Atemu was a man of his word, and this was no exception. Atemu had barely made it out of bed however, when Yami grabbed his wrist. "Wait, Atemu don't go." Yami said a pleading tone in his voice.

Atemu smiled a Yami and said, "Don't worry Anku, I'm just going down the hall to let Yugi know that you woke up. That's all. I'll be right back."

Yami nodded, letting go of Atemu's wrist. "Alright Até." Yami said.

Atemu frowned slightly but walked out of the room all the same. He walked down the stairs and saw Yugi and the rest of the gang plus Yugi sitting in the living room. Kaiba was on his cell phone yelling at someone about something while the rest of them were watching television. Atemu cleared his throat.

Everyone looked up and were slightly surprised to see Atemu standing there. "Atemu, can I do something for you?" Yugi asked.

"No, I just came to let you know that Yami's awake now. However, I don't think the rest of you should see him right now. I think that he should rest. You should be able to see him tomorrow for a little while." Atemu said.

The gang nodded, and it was then that Kaiba slammed his phone shut. "Greedy corporate bastards. "

"What on earth are you talking about Kaiba?" asked Tristan.

"One of the Kaiba Corp corporate executives in the hopes of advancing their position, decided to switch one of my two completely safe and functioning new dueling system with one of the ones that I still hadn't fixed the faulty wiring in. He had planned for me to wear it and be the one to get shocked, but Yami grabbed that one instead." Kaiba said.

Atemu closed his eyes and clenched his fists. That bastard is going to pay. Dearly. "On second thought, Yugi come with me for a minute please." Atemu said.

"Sure." Yugi said before he got up and followed Atemu up the stairs and into his and Yami's room. Atemu sat down beside Yami on the bed and said, "Hey, how are you feeling Aknu? Is there anything you need me to get you?"

"No, I'm fine. Just tired. And sore." Yami said.

Atemu smiled, before he gave Yami a kiss on the cheek. "Alright, well Anku I have to go somewhere for a little while and while I'm gone I'm going to have Yugi spend some time with you. If you need anything either have Yugi get it or you can contact me through the mind link." Atemu said.

Yami nodded though he immediately got a sad look on his face. "Alright Até come back soon. Okay?"

Atemu nodded, "Of course."

Before he got up and went back downstairs. He walked right up to Kaiba and said, "Tell me right now the name of the bastard who nearly killed my light."

"Kemo." Kaiba said.

Atemu nodded, and disappeared into a cloud of shadow. Once the shadows had dissipated he saw that he was standing outside Kaiba Corp. Now its time to make that bastard pay. He'll learn the hard way that NO ONE messes with my light.

A/N: And that should do it for this chapter. I hope everyone like it. You'll find out more about whats going on with Yami next chapter after Atemu gets back from punishing the guy who switched the gear. Anyway, please read and review.
