Omg I am soooo sorry that I didn't update last week. All I can say was that I was really busy and didn't have time to write a chapter. Anyways this is all I can offer you today. It's kinda short but not obnoxiously short. Again sorry! but before we begin i just want to let you know that i deleted the chapter that wasn't a chapter. you know the one where i asked for you help? yeah its gone since i'm pretty sure that it was a dream. i think i will write it and post it soon but not immediately. but now on with the story!

Tears were streaming down my face as I looked down on my sweet sweet angel.

It had been days since I was released from the hospital yet I refused to leave. I won't stay away from my angel, lying alone on his bed.

I don't doubt that the police have Jack thoroughly restrained however I don't want to change it. If Jack comes back I will kill him myself, no questions asked.

I'd go kill him now if it wasn't for the fact that Yugi would be alone.

I just wish that he would wake up.

"Come back to me" I whispered as I stroked his hand gently.

"Come back to me" tears were streaming down my face now.

"Come back to me"

"Come back to me" my body is consumed by sobs as I continue my mantra.

I know that it is only a desperate plea to unhearing ears but I want to believe that he can hear me, that he will come back to me.

My head rests on the bed as I cry my heart out. If only he would come back to me. If only I was a better protector. If only Jack had never found him. If only, if only

A twitch

Small and almost impossible to detect if I hadn't been holding his hand, but a twitch none the less.

I looked up from the bed and gasped.

His eyes were open!
"Yugi?" I asked quietly in case this was all a dream and talking too loud would wake me up. "Can you hear me? Squeeze me hand if you can"

Another gentle twitch and a light squeeze

He can hear me! He is alive!

"Yugi look at me please" I begged hoping to keep him awake for that much longer while I pushed the blue nurse call button on the side of the bed.

There was a low groan and he winced painfully.

His chest must hurt.

"Hold on Yugi, the nurse is coming" I said as I stroked his hair gently, "it's alright love, I promise it's alright"

His eyes fluttered closed and his heart rate evened out again. It wasn't as slow as when he was in his comma before but now it was slow in the way that he was just simply sleeping.

The nurse came in a moment after his eyes closed once again.

"Sir what is it?" she asked with a look of annoyance and attitude.

Bitch

"He was just awake"

"Let me take a look then"

She walked over to the heart rate machine and looked at the heart beat patterns. "Well he most certainly was awake, although not for long"

Didn't I just say that?

"I'll go tell his doctor then" she then left.

Stupid bitch

Why the hell would I lie to her? Of course he woke up! I knew he would live, I just knew it!

Nurse Abbey walked in then and my eyes narrowed, I was still pissed with her and how she allowed Jack into the building, let alone into Yugi's room unsupervised.

"Hello Yami" I nodded my head to her and she walked over to where Yugi was. She grabbed his chart off the foot of the bed and took down some notes on his condition.

A low groan was heard from the bed and I looked back down to where Yugi was lying. His eyes fluttered open once again and he moved his head a little bit.

"Yugi" I said my eyes shining with happiness. "Yugi can you hear me?

"*groan*"

Abbey was staring at Yugi on the bed and then rushed over to a cabinet on the other end of the room. She grabbed a small bottle and syringe before coming back over to where we were.

"The pain won't last much longer, I promise" she injected the contents of the syringe into his IV drip and then Yugi relaxed a little.

"Abbey what did you give him?"
"Don't worry it's a small dose of morphine for the pain and some vitamins to give him energy. As long as he is awake we can figure out the total extent of his concussion."

I nodded and looked back down to where Yugi was. He seemed to be trying to say something.

"Wa-ww-wa"

"Water?" he nodded and I grabbed a cup off the bedside table and filled it to the brim. I then lifted his head and tipped the cup back slowly.

He drank the water greedily before I placed him back down on the bed, careful of his injuries.

"Better?"

"Much" his voice was scratchy and he could barely speak above a whisper but it was still his beautiful voice ringing loud and clear.

"Is there anything that still hurts?" Abbey asked as she continued to check machine around the room.

He shook his head no and she nodded to him. "That's good. Is there anything that doesn't feel right?"

"I can't really see with that bright light on, could you turn it off?"
"Sure" she flipped off the lights and he blinked again.

"Thank you"

"No problem. Do you feel any numbness around your body?"

"No"

"Can you move your fingers and toes?"
He moved his fingers again and then wiggled his toes a little, I could tell that any energy he might have had was disappearing quickly and so could Abbey.

"That's very good, Yugi, very good" she said as she wrote something down on her clipboard "rest now Yugi, you will get some food later and then we will talk some more but for now sleep"

She touched his hand gently and then left the room.

"Sleep my love, sleep. We will talk again later"

"Thank you, Yami" she said as his eyes closed once again and his heart monitor slowed indicating he was asleep.

Nothing will harm my angel ever again.

Nothing.
