Sky walked down the stairs, skipping a few in his excitement. His smile wide as he jumped into the kitchen. Seto looked up and grimaced at Sky's joyful expression. Seto looked down at the table, trembling with rage.

"How dare you", Seto muttered.

"How dare you!", Seto yelled as he leaped at Sky, anger clouding his mind.

Sky was pushed forcefully to the floor by the smaller man.

"He was your best friend!", Seto screamed as he began to punch Sky continuously. Sky confused, tried to stop Seto.

The thundering of feet racing down the stairs went unnoticed by Seto, but Sky looked at the door upon hearing it. Everyone except Ty skidded to a halt in the kitchen.

"How could you!", Seto screamed.

"Let go of me!", he yelled as Jerome and Jason pulled him off Sky.

Sky sat up, trying to catch his breath, as he gingerly touched his sore face. Bruises already forming from the blood red blotches.

"How can you be so happy!", Seto yelled, his voice cracking as tears welled in his eyes.

"Ty is dead", Seto whimpered as he broke down, the tears streaking down his face.

Sky looked at Seto and winced as he heard the pain in the other male's voice.

Ty took that exact moment to walk into the kitchen. He smiled internally as his friends stared, shocked that he was alive. He grabbed a glass and filled it with water. Sky smiled as Ty walked back and over to him. Kneeling and handing the glass to Sky. Sky gratefully downed the cold water and handed it back when he had finished.

"How?", Seto whispered, his voice wobbling.

"Not sure, but he's alive", Sky said.

Seto walked slowly over to Ty. Ty stood and held his arms out. Seto fell into them and gripped Ty in a hug, tears flowing steadily. The others were quick to run and hug Ty. Sky watched from his position on the floor. He smiled as his friends held Ty in a giant group hug. Then two hands appeared in his field of vision. He looked up to see Ty smiling, one arm outstretched, and Seto looking guilty, offering Sky his hand as well. Sky grabbed them and was pulled into the hug. The rest laughed, smiling and grinning at the three.

Seto kept apologizing. During the hug and even after. He sat by Ty and Sky as Ty applied a healing gel to the bruises.

"I'm just so sorry for hurting you", Seto apologized.

Sky looked down, his hand coming out and clamping onto Seto's shoulder. Seto, startled, let out a whimper that turned into a loud gulping sound. Then Sky looked up suddenly. Seto had expected him to be mad and was just about to apologize, again. But he was shocked when he saw Sky's signature smile.

"Seto", Sky said gently as he put his hand on Seto's head.

"You have apologized too many times. I should be apologizing also; I shouldn't have looked so happy in front of you. You didn't know that Ty was alive, you had all the reason in the world to hurt me. You just assumed that I didn't care. But you couldn't have known anything", Sky said softly as he smiled gently at Seto.

"I know, but I shouldn't have thought you didn't care. You were the most cut up about Ty's 'death', you're his best friend. I shouldn't have just assumed you didn't care", Seto spouted out.

Sky smiled wider.

"Seto, I would have done the exact same thing as you if I had been in your position. So would anyone here", Sky said, his voice trying not to crack.

"No, you wouldn't have. No one else would have. You would have left the room, or ran up to see Ty, or something else. You wouldn't have done what I did", Seto whimpered, his voice wobbling as tears made trails down his already stained face.

Ty got up and took Seto's hand as he looked down. Ty sighed and let go of his hand.

"If any of you need me, I'll be in my room", he whispered, smiling as he heard Sky trying his best to comfort Seto.

Ty lay down on his mattress. He sighed and rolled over to look at his door. Today had been a roller coaster of drama and tears. He closed his eyes but opened them again when he heard what sounded like a knife scratching on glass. He looked over to his window and scrambled back on his bed. The paper was gone. And the new glass had scratches all over it. He closed his eyes and opened them again, blinking tears away. The glass stayed the same. He curled up, hugging his pillow. He didn't dare try to sleep. His fear of the figure and his second close call with death in his sleep today kept him awake and alert. But as the sun rose the next morning he finally surrendered to the blackness.

Late chapter tonight, earlier one tomorrow. And you all get a nice long chapter, so you all know what that means. Short chapter for the next two to three days. Maybe a little longer since it's Easter and all. But not right now. Now I'm going to sleep. I'll post earlier tomorrow. Have a good morning, afternoon, evening or other.

Chaos xoxo
