Broken Darkness

Chapter 16

Yugi

After school the
hospital was the only thing in my mind.
I had been thinking about it all day but now it was transfixed in my
mind as the only place I needed to go.
I arrived
slightly out of breath; it was late at night when I arrived in the waiting room
on the first floor.
�Yugi, you got
here quickly,� Grandpa said, coming up to greet me.
I shook my head,
trying to clear it, �Grandpa, where�s Atemu?
Where is he?� Grandpa nodded his
understanding at how I was more concerned about Yami then I was about my own
safety or how I got here so fast. He led
me to an elevator and we got on, heading up to the floor where Atemu was.
�Is he in
critical condition?� I asked, �Can the doctors tell what�s wrong with
him?�
Grandpa shook his
head. �He�s not in any critical condition but his body is weakening. He�s on an IV right now and he hasn�t been
able to keep any food down.�
�This isn�t good,
this isn�t good!� I said, drawing into myself a little, �He�s dying and I don�t
know what to do!�
�He�s not dying,�
Grandpa said sternly, �and I don�t think he would he would appreciate you
thinking like that. He needs someone by
him who is strong and if you can�t be that person then you won�t be able to
stay by him.�
I was shocked at
this but I managed to compose myself and took deep, shuddering breaths as the
panic lessened inside of me, each breath undoing a knot in the pit of my
stomach. I followed Grandpa silently out
of the elevator and down towards the room that Yami was in. He opened the door and I saw him, Atemu,
sleeping on the bed, the IV in his arm, breathing heavily. I ran forward and sat in the chair that was
by his side. Grandpa must have been
sitting in it all day.
�Yami,� I
whispered, my breath falling slightly on his arm. He stirred and opened his eyes, managing to
grin at me while wincing in pain.
�Hi Aibou,� he
said, �Don�t worry about me, just a little sickness. Nothing big.�
He still didn�t want me to worry about him but I was,
I was really worrying now.
�Grandpa told me
the doctors don�t know what�s going on,� I said, �They don�t know what�s making
you sick.�
�I don�t know
either,� he said weakly, �I�d tell you if I knew and then you�d help me,
right?�
�Right,� I said,
not even realizing that tears were coming to my eyes until he reached up his
hand and touched my face.
�Don�t cry Yugi,
I�m fine, really,� he said, �You know, it�s probably just something I ate.�
�Oh Yami,� I said
and moved to sit on the bed beside him, going to the other side so I wouldn�t
disturb the IV in his arm. He looked so
weak lying there, so helpless. I touched
his forehead and felt how hot it was. He
had quite the fever.
�Hey, this may
seem kinda late, but I�I needed to thank you,� he whispered, his voice soft and
sweet and gentle.
�You need to
thank me for what? I don�t think I�ve
really done that much,� I said, knowing I was probably blushing as I said that.
�You have, you
took care of me when I came back, when I was without memory�and sick. You spent time with me and were patient with
me. You helped me get back on my feet
again. I don�t think there�s enough
thanks in the world for that,� he said and I let the hand on his forehead trail
down to cup his face.
�It�s okay,� I
said, �When you get out of here, we�ll go to the amusement park. And school�s almost over for the year, so
we�ll do all sorts of fun things.� I
wiped my tears away. �We�ll go to the pool and back to the amusement park and
have lots of fun, just us.�
�Really?� he
asked, smiling up at me, �I�d like that Aibou.�
His expression changed to something slightly more teasing. �You know,
you care too much about people.�
�I only care
because I have to.�
�No one forces
you too and yet you still do.�
�I care because I
care then, there�s no explanation Yami,� I said.
�That�s fine
then, so long as you never change,� he said, �Stay sweet and kind and care,
like you always have and always should do.�
�You�re talking
like you�re going to die,� I said, �You�re not, okay? You�re not going to die on me.�
�No, of course I
won�t,� he said and then laughed slightly, coughing as he did so. �You won�t
let me.�

Yami

�Of course I
won�t let you,� Yugi said and I grinned.
�I know,� I
whispered and coughed again. Having him
here was such a wonderful thing; it made me feel better already. I didn�t know what I would have done had he
not been there. What if someone else had
found the puzzle? What if someone else
had to take on the destiny with me of saving the world? How would things have been different? I couldn�t have imagined it any other
way. I wouldn�t have wanted it any other
way.
�Yami, I have a question,�
he said suddenly, breaking me out of my thought.
�What is it?� I
asked gently, watching his face, knowing how hard he was thinking, although I
didn�t know what he was thinking about.
He had blocked me from his mind all day today; he probably didn�t want
me to know he had been panicking.
�Do you prefer
guys or girls?� he asked.
I stared at him
for a moment, �What kind of a question is that?�
He looked down
and seemed to admire the tile on the floor rather than want to answer me. �I don�t know, I�m just curious.� That seemed to take him a lot of courage to
say because it came out all strangled.
I smiled at him,
a small part of me hoping that what would follow next would be an admission of
love on his part, although I couldn�t tell if he wanted me to say it first or
not. I think he felt the same way�but
this didn�t prove much, only the fact he was interested in my sexual
preferences. �I like boys.�
His gaze turned
startled as he met my eyes with his, and they sparkled with a kind of
hope. I waited for the words to come, to
form on his lips and pass over his mouth so I could hear them, but they didn�t
come. He just sat there, looking stunned
and puzzled and confused. Had Anzu asked
Yugi to ask about my sexual preferences or something?
�I see,� he said,
registering on his face more panicking, �I need to go for a moment. I won�t be long.� He stood up and walked towards the door. Did he not like the answer I gave him? Was he rejecting me because of the fact I liked
guys?
�Yugi�� I began
gently but he didn�t turn around and my face fell. This wasn�t how it was supposed to
happen! �Yugi!� He left the room, and my heart shattered.

Yugi

I ran to the
payphone and dialed up Kaiba�s number quicker than I could think.
�Hello?� the
usual annoyed voice spoke and I gathered myself.
�It�s me,� I
said, my voice sounding shaky.
�Yugi? What�s going on?� he asked, �What do you
need? Is something wrong? I saw you leave the school rather quickly today.�
�It�s
Yami�he�s�he�s�� I began but couldn�t bring myself to finish the sentence.
�Where are you?�
he asked.
�Hospital,� I
gasped.
�What happened?�

�He�s sick�he�s in a bed, he�s just
lying there, all weak and helpless��
�Yugi, slow down,� Kaiba said gently. This wasn�t like him but I wasn�t going to
argue the point, I didn�t care, I just needed to talk to someone and he was the
first person that came to mind.
�I asked him�I
asked him if he liked boys or girls,� I whispered into the speaker.
�What did he
say?�
�He said he liked
boys.�
�What did you
say?�
�Nothing,� I
replied, the regret coming out in tears. �He basically told me and I didn�t say
anything at all!�
�I�m coming
over,� he said, �I�ll be there in less than fifteen minutes.� I didn�t ask why he was coming over nor did I
care. I should�ve called Anzu or Jou or
even Honda but they wouldn�t understand�they wouldn�t. Kaiba would�I knew he did, because he was
going through the same problems I was. I
had panicked�in Yami�s room I had panicked and hurt him!

Kaiba

I arrived at the
hospital shortly and inquired where I would find the Motou. I took the elevator to the floor they were on
and saw Yugi collapsed by the phone.
Tears stained his eyes and I felt pity for him. I was going through the same thing, although
I wasn�t in the stage he was just yet. I
walked up to him and helped him to his feet and carried him to a small waiting
room not to far away from the phone. I
was forced to hold him as he told me everything, everything that had happened
since our last conversation at school up to this point.
�So, you
panicked,� I said and he pulled away from me.
�I did and now I
don�t know what to do and he�s sick and probably dying and I don�t know what to
do!� He was a positive wreck in my
opinion. I hoped this wasn�t what would
happen with me and Jou!
�Yugi, you need
to calm down,� I said, gripping his shoulders and looking into his eyes, �Take
some deep breaths, blow your nose, collect yourself, and pull yourself
together! For Pete�s sake this isn�t how
I know you to be!�
�I don�t want to
loose him Seto,� he whispered as he grabbed a tissue out of a nearby box and
blew his nose. �I�m scared that he�ll die and he doesn�t even know how I feel!�
�Then tell him
already!� I said, �If you really are that scared just tell him! The worst that could happen would be he says
he doesn�t love you back! I know your
heart would break then but it�s eating you away right now, that�s not good nor
is it healthy!�
�Seto�� he began
but I shushed him.
�Don�t, I mean,
if you can�t do it, if you can�t go through with telling the one you love how
you feel how am I supposed to get the courage?
We said we�d help one another, and I�m trying to help. I know I�ll probably need your help with Jou
but if you�re too scared then what kind of an example do you set for me? Just tell him.�
�But�� he began.
I cut him off
again. �You are scared he�s going to die, but if he does die and you don�t say
anything, it will kill you! I know it
will kill you; I�m beginning to feel that way about Jou too. Just fricken tell him already! You have to.�
I think that was a version of begging but I wasn�t sure. I didn�t know exactly what I had just said
but in the silence that followed I saw Yugi compose himself and shake my hands
away.
�You�re right,�
he said, �But�would you stand in the hallway?�
�You need a
little extra push, to keep you from leaving even if you want to?� I asked and
he nodded. �Fine then, I won�t let you leave until you tell him.� He nodded and we both stood. He led me towards the room and told me to
wait outside it. I leaned against the
wall with a sigh and waited like he asked me to.
�Yami�I have
something I need to say�� I heard him say and then he rushed back out, panic on
his face once more.
�What is it
Yugi?� I asked.
�He�s not
there!� Crap�this wasn�t good.
