Enemy Mine

Chapter Nine

…Coma…

Sorry its short the next one should be longer!

~“I love you, Seto, come back to me…wake up,” he whispered as he rested his head on top of their clasped hands. ~

“He's in a coma,” Orihime said a week later, Yugi looked up his eyes wide.

“What?” he asked his mouth going dry as he tightened his grip on the older mans unresponsive hand.

“Seto's in a coma,” the doctor repeated.

“…How long will he be in this coma?” Yugi asked his eyes translating his terror as the doctor shrugged “Hard to say, the good thing is what ever had caused it has also slowed the leukaemia to almost a stand still,” the blond said.

“That's good, that means you can fix him,” Yugi murmured as he turned dull eyes back to the too still man on the hospital bed, the mask had been removed though he was still hocked up to too many machines for Yugis' liking. The near constant blipping of the heart monitor oddly reassuring though it was starting to bug him, all he heard was blip, blip, blip. Though he guessed it was better than that screeching sound it made when ones heart stopped, which had happened to a patent a few doors down, an elderly man who had suffered a heart attack before and after admission.

“No, Yugi, it doesn't,” Orihime said but the boy ignored him rocking back and forth ever so slightly as those bright violet eyes shone down at the man in the bed and Orihime had had enough.

Grabbing the boy by his shoulders he turned him to face him and said, “Get out, go home, eat a proper meal, sleep for 12 hours and if I see you back here before 4 tomorrow afternoon, I have you banned from the room.”

“No,” the boy gasped, shaking his head.

“Now, or no more,” the blond said calmly releasing the boy “It wont do Seto any good if you starve your self or put your self in a coma by lack of rest, go home,” he said knowing the boy probably had no idea what caused comas.

Nodding Yugi leant down and brushed a kiss over Seto's lips, the gesture so loving Orihime felt his heart clench as the small boys hand gently touched Setos' cheek. “I'll be back tomorrow, I love you, I love you so much,” he whispered kissing him again before leaving with that too bright look of pain in his eyes.

Looking down at his patient Orihime sighed, “You're one lucky man there Kaiba, that boy loves you something fierce. Wake up while you still have time to bask in it,” he murmured before leaving the room, the quiet blip, blip, blip and hush of the air conditioner soon the only sounds in the sterile room.

…

Malik frowned as he looked up from behind the large desk in the museum office, the blond duellist rudely entering with an angry near feral look in his golden eyes.

“Hmm, Master Wheeler what brings you here?” he asked though he had a fair idea, Seto.

“You know why I'm `ere Malik, what did ya' do ta' Kaiba?” the blond growled.

“Nothing but what he requested,” the Egyptian said cryptically.

“What does dat mean? Kaiba asked you to put him inta a coma?” the blond demanded glaring at the older boy.

“Well no,” Malik said putting his pen down as he gestured for the irate man to take a seat, and once the man flopped down he said “He called me the afternoon before he collapsed, asking me to preform a Shadow Ritual for him.”

“What ritual?”

“A Shadow Deal,”

“A Shadow Deal, what's dat'?”

“A deal between a mortal of this realm and a shadow or duel monster, your Seto wanting to be well, whole and able to live a long healthy life with his love, your little Yugi wanted to try it. I don't know how he heard of them. Or how he knew I would know how to preform such a thing, but I do not question such things” Malik said “I opened the portal and he stepped through,” and he nodded as Joeys eyes widened dramatically.

“I had not thought to warn him before not to, he knew of them, and the general way, in which they work, I did not think he would…not know of the unspoken rule. Never enter the portal and stay until the thing closes,” the Egyptian shook his head as Odion entered a frown on his face and a large box in his arms.

“His soul then became trapped in the shadow realm, his body an empty shell…mmm, I wonder,” he said his voice falling into a whispered. “Odion, summon my sister,” he commanded and the elder man nodded placing the large box on the desk.

“What's in dere?” Joey asked and Malik said “The ritual remanence,” his tone dismissive and Joey stood and looked in his eyes instantly moving to a card nearly encased in wax. The only part not cover in white, hardened wax was the image of Saggi, the dark clown. Odd he thought touching the image lightly as he remembered all the time Kaiba…Seto had used the card to defeat him, others and Yugi.

“Yes Malik…oh,” Isis said from the door her blue eyes widening as she caught sight of Joey, “Mr Wheeler, a pleasure,”

“Sister, wasn't Joey's former carnation that of Jano…the high priests most trusted companion?” Malik asked and Joey looked from brother to sister his brows drawing down.

“Yes brother, why do you ask?” she said then her eyelids fluttered shut and she said “Oh, you wish to fix what you wrote,”

“I did not tell the CEO of Shadow Deals, nor did I tell his to step through the blasted portal!” Malik snapped heatedly.

“What are you two talken' `bout? What does my being da' ren'whie of the priests buddy have to do with anythen?” Joey asked and the siblings exchanged a look before looking back at him.

“You may be able to reach Master Kaiba, you were his most trusted and now the one he loves most trusted…aside from himself that is,” Isis said “You may be able to connect with his spirit and save him, though the Pharaoh may be the only one capable but…I believe you should try first,” she said.
