Chapter 21
Yugi wait approximately nineteen minutes before his parents burst through the door.
"Oh Yugi you're okay," Anna cried as she hugged her son.
Yugi was feeling very embarrassed, and his father and grandfather weren't helping matters any by smirking behind his mother's back.
"Okay Mom," Yugi said, "I think you've proven your point."
"What do you mean I've proven my point?" Anna asked as she shook him.
Yugi wanted to scream, and was very relieved when his father and grandfather pried her off. "Thank you," Yugi gasped, his shoulder screaming in protest.
"Sorry," Anna apologized. "I guess I'm getting just a little carried away. I'm just worried about you though."
Yugi sighed as he rubbed his abused shoulder. "I understand." He then asked, "Did they get a chance to finish the surgery?"
"Just barely," Mick answered.
"So when do I get to go home?" Yugi asked. All three of his guardians exchanged glances, "You don't know do you?" They shook their heads. Yugi groaned, "Well, I feel fine, will they let me go if I tell them that?"
"I doubt it," Mick said, "After what you've been through, I'd say you'll be in here another week, but that's just me, you'll need to ask the professional if you want the truth."
Yugi rolled his eyes, but to his joy, a doctor walked in.
"It sounds like someone wants to go home," the doctor said. He watched Yugi nod enthusiastically. "Well, I don't know. That last bought with death was a close one..."
"Can I go home or not?" Yugi blurted out, rather surprised at himself for being so impatient.
The doctor, not at all offended, chuckled, "Yes you can go home. I'm sure by the time all of this is over, you'll never want to set foot in a hospital again." The doctor nodded to Yugi's parents and left.
"Let's get you clothed and then we can go home," Anna said.
ooo
"You wanna know the worst thing about not being able to move?" Yugi asked Yami.
"What's that?" Yami asked. They had been back at Yugi's parents' place for two days now, and Yugi was as antsy as a little kid at a fair.
"When you can't sit still!" Yugi just barely kept himself from screaming. He was so frustrated. He wanted to get up, but his injuries still kept him stuck wherever he was lying. He could sit up, slowly, using both arms now, being very gentle with his right arm, but he couldn't stand or walk around yet. He still had physical therapy to go through both for his shoulder and his leg.
He had regained most of the use for his right leg, but his ankle had been healed for a long time, and Yugi had used that leg a lot for whatever he could manage to do when he wasn't lying around doing nothing.
"Well you'll be able to use crutches once you build the muscles in you shoulder back up," Yami said.
"I won't be able to do that until I start physical therapy," Yugi grumbled.
"Then you're going to have to be patient," Yami taunted.
Yugi growled at him, "You're lucky you not solid."
"What would do if I was?" Yami asked. "You're stuck, you can't move from that bed."
Yugi glared at Yami, and then groaned and lay slowly down on his back. "Sorry Yami. I'm just really bored, and I'm sick and tired of being stuck where I'm sat." He looked at the bandaging on the palm of his left hand, underneath were the stitches that held the gash the shard of glass had caused closed. "Damned lion. Oh well, I guess if that hadn't happened I wouldn't have had these surgeries that have repaired me as much as they have."
"And yet those surgeries have yet to allow you move," Yami pointed out.
Yugi glared at him again, "Stop reminding me." He sighed, "From what Grandpa told me, I won't even be starting therapy until after break, which means I still have a week, of maybe even longer."
Yami chuckled. "I'm sure you'll survive."
"Yeah, yeah," Yugi grumbled as he reached for his CD player on his beside table. He got the headphones on, wincing at the tenderness in his right shoulder after being immobile for so long. As soon as the headphones were securely on his ears, he turned the CD player on and folded his left arm behind his head and closed his eyes.
Yami made a face that Yugi couldn't see, "Looks like there's no point in me being out," he sighed as he vanished back into the puzzle.
ooo
"Finally time to go home," Grandpa said.
"Great," Yugi mumbled drowsily from his painkillers. His parents insisted that he at least take them for the ride home, since they weren't going to be the ones driving.
"Good thing Tea didn't ask to come," Bakura said as Yugi parents got Yugi into the car, "she wouldn't have any place to sit, the way you're situated."
Yugi grunted in reply, too drowsy to do anything else. He knew he was going to sleep on the way home, which was perfectly fine with him. The way he was sitting, his back against the left inside door, with his right leg stretched out over the rest of the seat, and yet they still managed to get the seatbelt on him. The doctor had advised him not keep that leg bent very much until the stitches were out, so Yugi's parents were making sure of it.
"Have a nice nap," Mick said as he gently tossed a pillow to Yugi.
Yugi didn't even reply to that, he just situated the pillow behind him and went to sleep.
"Ready?" Grandpa asked.
"He looks good to go," Anna said. "Drive safe."
"Don't tell me," Grandpa said, "Tell him." He pointed to Bakura, whom rolled his eyes and went to get into the driver's seat as Grandpa bid his son and daughter-in-law one last goodbye. Finally he got in the car. "Okay, lets go home."
ooo
It took them two hours to get home, and when they did, Joey, Tristan and Tea were waiting for them.
"Did he sleep the whole way?" Tea asked as they peered at Yugi through the open window.
"Pretty much," Grandpa answered.
"Can I wake him up?" Joey asked: the mischievous glint in his eye was plainly obvious.
Grandpa sighed, "All right, just don't cause him to hurt himself."
"Heh, I won't," Joey said as he stuck his head in the window. He took in a deep breath and yelled, "Hey pharoh reincarnate, wake up!" He received a pillow in the face for that. "Good afternoon," he said cheerfully when the pillow fell away.
Yugi glared at his friend, but that was all.
Grandpa got him out of the car and they all went inside.
"So how were the last few days at your parents'?" Tristan asked.
"Boring," Yugi answered. "All I could do was lay around."
"That's all you can do," Tea pointed out, but she knew he already knew that quite well.
Yugi resisted glaring at her.
"Maybe we should go," Tristan suggested. "Yugi looks like wants to go to sleep again."
"How long are those painkillers supposed to last?" Bakura asked. All Yugi did was shrug in reply.
"Come on," Tea said. "Let's go then, before Yugi falls asleep in his wheelchair."
"But he's done that before," Joey pointed out as they walked out of the house.
ooo
Author's Note: That was one short chapter. But hey, I updated, what a concept! I know it's been a really long time, but now that I'm off for the summer maybe I'll be able to work on this story some more. For those of you that still read this story, review me and tell me what you think.
