Chapter 18
Yugi slept most of the afternoon. When he woke up, he wasn't sure of where he was until he sat up.
"It's going to take a while to get used to a room that's completely white," he muttered.
-You won't be here for long, - Yami said silently just in case his parents were nearby.
Yugi thought, -Just hope I don't sleep the whole time. -
-I won't let you, - Yami said. Yugi smiled, and then his mother opened the door.
"Oh, you're awake," she said as she walked in.
"How long did I sleep?" Yugi asked.
"Just over two hours," Anna answered. She looked outside; "Say, normally on Saturday nights, your father and I go for a walk. We didn't know what you would want to do, but I thought bringing it up wouldn't it hurt."
Yugi thought about it for a moment, "Why not," he answered. "It would be nice to see what the neighborhood looks like."
Anna smiled, "Yeah? I'll go and get your father then, I can't get you into the wheelchair, and I don't want you doing it yourself." Yugi sighed as Anna got up and went to find her husband.
-This should be interesting, - Yami said.
-Shut up, - Yugi grumbled as Mick walked in.
"Let's get you in this stupid chair," Mick said. He got Yugi in and wheeled him to the front room where Anna was waiting.
"Ready?" Anna asked. Yugi nodded and they left the house.
They had just gotten onto the sidewalk when Anna waved to someone across the street. It was a woman and her daughter, and to Yugi's great un-enjoyment, they came over.
"Who's this Anna?" the woman asked.
"My son," Anna answered. "Don't tell me you don't remember the photos I showed you?"
"I thought he looked familiar," the woman said.
Anna turned to Yugi. "Yugi, this is Naria Shinto and her daughter Arime." Yugi just waved, his normal shyness taking over.
"He's quiet," Naria whispered.
"Maybe he just has brain damage," Arime muttered.
"Arime!" Naria exclaimed. "How dare you say such a thing?"
"If I had been brain damaged," Yugi interrupted, "I don't think I would have been able to walk six blocks from the site of the explosion."
"That just proves you're stubborn," Arime said.
"I'd rather be stubborn than rude," Yugi muttered.
Arime glared at him, but Naria said, "I guess we should be going home now." She glared at her daughter, "I guess I have yet to teach my daughter proper manners." She gripped her daughter's arm and the walked off.
"Cheery," Yugi muttered.
"Are you okay?" Anna asked.
"Fine," Yugi answered. "Though I wouldn't mind going back inside now."
"I agree," Mick said as he turned the wheelchair around. Once they were inside, Anna took Yugi to his room.
"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine," Yugi answered. In all truth, he was just angry, which was reasonable. "Perhaps going out wasn't the best idea anyway."
"True," Anna replied. "Not many people heard about what happened, unlike those from where you live. I'd say the majority of the city knows about it."
"I wouldn't be surprised Yugi said.
Anna sighed, "Well, I don't know what to say. I know your father isn't in a good mood, and you're not in much of a good one either."
"Your point being?" Yugi asked, a little ruder than he wanted to sound, even though he didn't want to sound rude at all.
Anna shook her head, "Nothing, I'll leave you alone, looks like you could use some time alone." She walked out of his room, leaving Yugi in his chair.
-That girl was so out of line! - Yami yelled.
-You're going to give me a headache if you continue to yell like that, - Yugi informed the enraged spirit.
-Sorry, - Yami said. -But you know that was uncalled for. -
-Of course I do, - Yugi replied. -Why do you think I snapped at her the way I did? -
-That's true, - Yami sighed. Yugi groaned, and the got himself out of his wheelchair and onto his bed. -What have I told you about doing that? -
-Uh, - Yugi mumbled, -I don't know, I'm drawing a blank. - He knew of course, he just wanted to mess with Yami, since he hardly ever did.
-Sure you are, - Yami said, -and your mother's a blonde. -
-Hey! - Yugi retorted. -Fool around with me all you want, but don't pull her into it. -
-Sorry, - Yami said. -You know I was just kidding. -
Yugi groaned and lay back against his pillow. -I know; I'm just not in a good mood, that's all. -
-I noticed, - Yami muttered.
Yugi smirked, his anger cooling down. He looked at the clock on the table next to his bed. -Seven o'clock, and all I want to do is sleep. -
-Then do so, - Yami replied. -But don't whine at me when your stomach and banging against your spine to get your attention. -
Yugi couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was true, he hadn't eaten all day, except when his mother forced him to eat breakfast that morning, and he really didn't feel like eating anyway.
-Whatever, - Yugi said, and feel asleep.
***
The next day, Yugi woke up to an odd sound coming from outside. He sat up and was just able to reach the window to pull the blinds down.
White flakes were drifting to the ground, and an odd watery thump made him realize that was what had woken him up. It had been a small mound of snow that had fallen from the roof.
"Well this is new," Yugi whispered.
"I was hoping you would wake up soon and notice." Yugi turned to see Anna standing in the doorway. "What do you think?"
"Makes a weird sound when it falls in a clump," Yugi answered.
Anna laughed, "Why wouldn't it?" She smiled, "Hungry?"
What Yami had said had happened. It felt more like his stomach was wrapped around his backbone, not beating it, but it still didn't feel good. Yugi nodded and Anna helped him into his chair.
***
After he had eaten, Mick asked him if he wanted to sit out in the heated patio for a while. Yugi agreed, as long as he could get a book out of his bag first.
As soon as they did that, Mick rolled Yugi out to the enclosed patio.
"I've got some work to do," Mick said, "And your mom has some housework, so if you need anything you're going to have to yell really loud."
Yugi laughed, "Yeah, sure."
Mick left the patio and Yugi was by himself.
-This is quite entertaining, - Yam muttered sarcastically.
-Hey, - Yugi said, -at least it's heated. -
-True, - Yami replied.
***
After a few hours of sitting there, Yugi was bored of his book, and was staring out into the snow-covered backyard.
"Yugi?"
Yugi turned around in his chair as best he could to see his mother, but she wasn't alone.
"There's someone here to see you," Anna said. At her words, Arime appeared in the light.
Yugi did not feel like talking to her. But, knowing that he had to, he sighed and mumbled, "All right."
He heard someone walked forward, and someone else walk away. He figured it was Arime that hat walked forward, but did not turn around to look at her.
"Yugi?" came Arime's voice.
"Yes," Yugi answered softly, then smirked silently as he heard her jump. Apparently she wasn't expecting his to answer. "Did I startle you?" he asked, slight amusement in his voice.
"I just forgot how deep your voice was," Arime answered, trying to hide her slightly shaking voice since he had startled her.
Yugi felt quite amused. "So, why did you comer here? Is your mother making you apologize to me or something?" He heard he grumble to herself, "I'm right aren't I?"
"Are you always like this?" Arime asked, annoyance in her voice.
"Like what?" Yugi asked.
"Able to tell what someone's going to do," Arime answered.
"Just in a duel," Yugi answered. "But for your situation, it's pretty obvious, and from the sound of your voice, you don't want to be here."
"You're good," Arime said. "Where did you learn to do it?"
"I don't know," Yugi answered.
He heard Arime growl, and suddenly she was standing right next to him, anger blazing from her face.
"What'd I do?" Yugi asked, but then found himself getting a painful slap in the face. "What was that for?" he asked, he cheek still stinging.
"For acting like a know-it-all," Arime answered.
"Well excuse me for just stating facts," Yugi spat back, not believing the tone of his voice.
Arime moved to stand in front of his wheelchair, "So I'm guessing the apology I'm about to make you know I don't mean right?"
"Uh, Arime," Yugi said. He had noticed something outside as she had moved in front of him, and could still see it, and he didn't like what it was.
"I don't care what you have to say," Arime interrupted.
"But," Yugi tired again, but she cut him off.
"Save it!" she spat.
"Then so will you!" Yugi said as he used all the strength he had in his left arm, and any he could give in his right arm, and shoved her out of the way as a mountain lion smashed through the window.
***
Glass flew everywhere. Yugi heard Arime scream, but he was the lion's prey, and he had to think fast.
The mountain lion knocked him out his chair, but it was oddly slow, and didn't catch him in its claws.
Yugi didn't know how he did it, but he managed somehow to get up on his feet and move backwards to keep the loin from trying to attack him again. It didn't work for long.
The loin growled and slunk after him. Yugi got himself up against the back door, and cursed himself for not paying attention to where he was going. As the loin launched himself at him, he then realized he held a large shard of glass in one hand.
***
Arime watched as the loin attacked Yugi, smashing into the door and sending the both of them outside and into the snow. "Mr. Motuoh!" she screamed.
He appeared seconds after she called, a shotgun in his hands. "What happened?" he asked frantically. He had heard the roar and screaming and the breaking glass, and knew that something bad was happening.
"A mountain lion!" Arime said. She looked to where the lion had landed on Yugi, but the situation was not what it seemed.
***
Yugi really only realized what he had done after he had been down for a few seconds. The loin was on top of him, but motionless. But that wasn't all that Yugi felt. Everything that had happened as the lion had launched itself at Yugi came back to him.
The bulk of the force from the attack had hit squarely in his chest, and he knew more than just his ribs had been damaged from that. The lion had also dug its hind left foot into Yugi's injured knee, snapping the cast and severally dislocating his knee, again.
His left hand stung too. He had remembered the glass in his hand just as the lion had attacked. He had raised it up just in time to bury it in the lion's heart, killing it before it could kill him. He hurt all over, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the big cat off of him.
(No one's coming,) Yugi thought. (I have to get this thing off of me myself.)
He suspected Yami helped, but he finally got the cat off. Just in time to see his father coming through the ruined door with a shotgun.
"You're alive!" Mick gasped as he ran to him.
"Just barely," Yugi mumbled, just realizing the blood coming from his mouth, confirming to him that his broken ribs had punctured something.
"Anna!" Mick yelled. "Call an ambulance!"
The last thing Yugi heard before he blacked out was his father's yelling, and the sound of sirens approaching them.
