Ryou: Annime doesn't own Yugioh or anything belonging to someone else.

Chapter 7

Yami waited with Gramps in the waiting room to learn about how Yugi was doing. They hadn't heard anything since they arrived, so they were getting anxious. Yami stood up and started to pace. His worry was eating him alive as the nurses seemed to laugh in their conversations.

"Shut up!" Yami yelled at the laughing nurses. "My friend just got hurt and you're in here laughing as if nothing's wrong!"

The nurses turned pale at this and just stared.

"Yami, calm down; they probably don't even know about how Yugi is," Gramps said, hoping he could calm him down.

"Yea, you're right," Yami muttered. He looked back at the pale faced women. "Sorry," he said, softer than when he had yelled. The women nodded their understanding and hurried out of the room.

"Yugi's going to be just fine, Yami," Gramps spoke once again. "You can stop pacing and sit down."

"But, their taking too long!" Yami said going back to his pacing. Gramps sighed and sat back down, leaving Yami to his antics.

The time dragged by for Yami and Yugi's grandfather, but finally, the doctor arrived.

"Are you the friends and family of Yugi Moto?" A man with a long white coat asked.

"Yes, how is he?" Gramps asked.

"Well, he is unconscious right now, but we were able to stitch his arm with no problem, but getting him hooked up to some machines was troublesome since his arm was cut right at his vain. We hooked him up by his other vain, no problem, but while we did that something happened and he started to bleed heavily again." The doctor read off his clipboard and then glanced up at the two. "At one point, he kept on crying out the name, 'Yami', while unconscious. Are one of you 'Yami'?"

Yami waved slightly, signaling that it was him. He couldn't speak at the moment because he was too pale faced and frightened for Yugi.

"Well, apparently you must have a REALLY close relationship, because that's usually how that happens," the doctor continued. "Now, his room is 103 and you are now able to see him."

Yami and Gramps thanked the doctor and hurried to the elevator. They pressed the up button and waited. Finally the elevator opened and they stepped on. They were lone wolfs since the elevator was empty except for them. Gramps pressed the button for the 7th floor and then it started to go up. Yami grabbed the railing; he still wasn't used to some of the 21st centenary's technology.

Once they finally arrived, Yami was relieved he could see Yugi…and he was able to get off what he called, 'The evil flying people eater.' (_XD_)

Yami walked down the hall with Gramps, and he could feel the elder mans nerves. Yami felt a little pity for him; his grandson was cut in the arm by one of his other grandsons. Yami grew very angry think about this. The people who were supposed to care about him no matter what wanted him to get hurt like this! Yami clutched his fists. He wouldn't let this happen again.

Yami relaxed once they reached room 103. They both walked in to see a sleeping Yugi hooked up to different machines. Yami almost cried. The sight wasn't very ugly and didn't look very serious, but YUGI was hooked up to machines. It hurt Yami to see his light in this state, but he sucked it up so that he could see Yugi. Yami desperately wanted wake Yugi from his slumber, but he knew it wasn't right to do that.

Yami sat down in a chair next to Gramps. He watched Yugi for 3 hours, and then he slowly fell asleep.

"Yami!" Yami's head popped up at the voice.

"Yugi?" Yugi giggled at Yami's confusion.

"You fell asleep, silly!" Yugi said back as he grabbed Yami's hand. "Now, let's go meet the others at the mall."

Yami was bewildered, but he nodded and followed Yugi outside the game shop. Yugi and Yami started to walk down the street towards the mall. Yami just became even more confused. Yugi was attacked! H-he went to the hospital! What was going on?

"You know, it's so nice to walk around with no worries," Yugi said. He continued to hold Yami's hand. "I love spending time with you." Yugi finished with a blush, knowing he was being a little cheesy.

Yami took Yugi's hand and kissed it, telling him silently that he didn't have to be nervous. He didn't know what was going on, but he was happy that he was with Yugi.

Yami and Yugi continued to walk down the street until Yugi was suddenly tackled. Yami was caught off guard by this as a man that looked familiar held Yugi to the ground.

"I wonder if your little boyfriend can help you now?" the man chuckled. Yami tried to pull the man off of Yugi, but the man wouldn't budge. Yugi was screaming for Yami to help him and Yami tried pulling harder; it was no use. The man brought a knife out of his hand and placed it on Yugi's neck.

"Bye bye, cousin!" The man slit Yugi's throat and Yami's world went black once more.

"Yami…Yami!"

Yami woke up to see he was being shaken awake by Gramps.

"Yami, you fell asleep," Gramps continued. "I thought you might want to be awake when Yugi wakes up."

Yami looked around to see he was in the hospital again. He smiled his thanks to Gramps and went back to watching Yugi.

'Which is worse,' Yami thought, 'the dream or this?' Yami continued to think about his dream and with ever second his stomach tightened. He didn't like this one bit. First Yugi gets attacked at the arcade, then he gets attacked on the street, and then he gets attacked in his own home. Also, to top it off, Yami had a horrible and nerve racking dream about Yugi getting hurt. 'Fun,' Yami thought sarcastically.

"Yami," Yugi rasped in his sleep.

Yami was at his said in a split second. He took Yugi's hand.

"I'm here, Yugi. I'm here." Yami massaged Yugi's hand as Yugi calmed down in his sleep. Yami didn't know what was in the future, but he did know he was going to protect him better than he was able to in that horrible nightmare.

Annime: Watcha think?

Yami: Review please!
