Chapter Nine

 

The sun came through the window and crept on to the sleeping CEO's face. He groaned and rolled over to look at the clock.

 

“Shit!” He jumped up and ran upstairs to get ready for work. `I can't believe I slept in' he thought as he frantically jumped into the shower.

 

Ten minutes later he ran downstairs to grab something quick to eat deciding he would get a coffee on the way.

 

“Late for work?” A deep baritone voice asked from behind.

 

Seto jumped and turned around.

 

“Yami don't do that.” Seto breathed as he placed a hand over his heart.

 

Yami smirked. “Sorry.”

 

Seto quirked an eyebrow. “Hn, I'm sure.” He smiled. He started to walk out the door when he noticed Yami following him.

 

Seto turned around. “You're coming too?”

 

“Sure I have nothing better to do and it's not like anybody can see me, besides I want to play a few tricks on some of your employees.” He smirked as his eyes seemed to light up.

 

“This I have to see.” Seto smiled as he made his way out the door. He started to get in the car and noticed Yami was already in the passenger seat.

 

 

 

Seto's day was quit eventful. He enjoyed watching his employees panic as Yami made pens float; duel disks activate and flip duel cards at random making the monsters show up in holographic form.

 

The look on his secretary's face was priceless when a file that she had been looking for floated from halfway around the room and dropped in front of her.

 

`Yami is having way too much fun' He thought as he heard his employees gasp and some even scream at Yami's antics.

 

Finally after Yami was done scaring people he made his way into Seto's office by walking through the door and sat on the couch.

 

Seto looked up from his laptop.

 

“Have fun?”

 

“Yep” Yami smiled as he leaned back into the black leather couch. Seto shook his head and continued typing. Listening to the radio that Seto had playing Yami lay sprawled on the couch. `Why am I so exhausted' Yami thought as he closed his eyes and drifted off.

 

Seto looked up from his work and noticed Yami had fallen asleep. `Hmm I didn't think spirits needed to sleep' He thought to himself and smiled at the sleeping Pharaoh then proceeded to finish his work.

 

After three hours Seto turned his laptop off and went over to Yami, who was still asleep. Seto got near Yami's ear and quietly spoke his name. Yami grumbled but did not awaken so Seto decided to speak a little louder this time.

 

“YAMI!”

 

“Huh wha…I'm up, I'm up.” Yami bolted upright and took in his surroundings. Seto laughed as he looked at the disoriented Pharaoh.

 

“Glad to see you finally decided to wake up.” He smirked.

 

Yami blushed as he looked at Seto. “Sorry, what time is it?”

 

“Time to go home.” Seto said as he walked over to his desk and put his laptop into its carry case.

 

Yami watched as Seto proceeded to clean up his office. “Um…do you mind if we stop at Yugi's?”

 

“Not at all.” Seto looked at the spirit who sat at the edge of the couch. Seto put on his trench coat and grabbed his briefcase and laptop.

 

“Alright let's go.” Seto said as he opened the door and Yami followed.

 

They pulled up to the Kame Game Shop and Seto noticed Yami fidget in his seat. Seto got out and made his way into the store. The little bell above the door rang as Seto looked over at the man who had his back turned toward him.

 

 

“How may I help…Kaiba?” Sugoroku turned around shocked to see the CEO standing before him.

 

“What can I do for you Mr. Kaiba?”

 

“Hello Mr. Motou actually I am here to see Yugi.”

 

“Oh, well he is in the living room. You may go in if you like and see him.”

 

“Thank you.” Seto bowed his head a little and then made his way to the living room. Yami was walking behind him when he heard a gasp.

 

Yami spun around and saw jii-chan with his hands to his mouth and eyes wider than normal. Finally he spoke in a choked voice. “Yami…is…is it really you?”

 

Yami was shocked that he could see him as he slowly nodded.

 

“Oh, my boy….how?” Jii-chan asked walking over to stand in front of him.

 

“I'm not sure.” Yami shrugged.

 

“Has or can Yugi see you?”

 

Yami looked at the floor. “No not yet and I'm not sure if I want him to…or at least not yet.”

 

“Can Kaiba see you?”

 

“Yes it was he who brought me here.”

 

“So you wanted to see Yugi.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Well go see him.” Sugoroku smiled.

 

Yami smiled back and made his way to the living room. As he floated in he noticed Yugi sitting on the couch and Seto in the chair. They were just talking about the memorial tournament when Yugi looked up.

 

“Man it got cold in here quickly.” Yugi said as he rubbed his arms. Seto looked up and noticed Yami had entered the room. He looked at Yugi and shrugged. “I don't notice a change.” He must have gotten used to temperature change since Yami had been around him.

 

“Hmm, maybe I'm coming down with a cold or something.” Yugi stated as he sat back on the couch. Yami fidgeted wondering how to make his aibou see him. The bigger question was did he want him too. Maybe it would be best if he should just leave. Yami sat on the arm of the chair Seto was seated in thinking of what he should do.

 

Seto noticed Yami's discomfort and began to cough.

 

“Seto you alright?” Yugi jumped to the CEO's side. Seto nodded his head and began to cough worse.

 

“Let me go get you something to drink.” Yugi ran toward the kitchen.

 

“Seto are you alright?” Yami asked worried.

 

Seto straightened and looked at the spirit. “I'm fine it was just a diversion. Do you want leave?”

 

Yami looked down at the floor. “I think that would be best. I'm not ready to face him…not yet anyway.” Yami spoke quietly as a single tear ran down his cheek.

 

Before Seto could comfort him Yugi came in the room. “I brought you a glass of water.” Yugi handed Seto the glass.

 

Seto drank it all and cleared his throat. “Thank you Yugi.”

 

“You're welcome.” Yugi smiled and then looked at the floor the smile gone now.

 

“Kaiba will you come with me to visit Yami's grave tomorrow?” He looked up at the CEO with pleading eyes.

 

Seto seemed to look out the window, but was actually looking at Yami.

 

Yami was looking at Yugi as his aibou looked pleadingly at Seto. He was about to say something to Seto when two people walked into the room.

 

He looked up and saw the two white haired boys.

 

“Hey Ryou, Hey Bakura.” Yugi spoke quietly and waved at the two.

 

“Hi Yugi” Ryou waved as he turned to the CEO. “Hello Kaiba”

 

He walked over and stood beside Yugi. Bakura looked at the two and nodded as he walked around to sit on couch the when he jumped. His chocolate eyes got wide and he looked at what had scarred him.

 

“AHHH! BAKA PHARAOH!!” He screamed and pointed.

 

Yami looked at Bakura with wide crimson eyes. He couldn't say anything he was speechless as Bakura and him just stood and stared at each other.

 

Yugi paled as he looked at the tomb robber then to where he was pointing. He saw nothing as he looked at the window.

 

Yami finally broke the staring match and looked confused. “You can see me?”

 

“Of course I can.” Bakura spoke more quietly as he moved closer to Yami.

 

“Bakura this isn't funny!” Yugi cried out as Ryou held the sobbing duelist.

 

“Bakura cut it out this is no time for joking around.” Ryou spoke with an edge to his voice.

 

Bakura looked at Yami and then to the two hikari's and then to Seto. “You can see him right?” Bakura asked as he pointed at Seto. Ryou and Yugi both looked at Kaiba who just stood there looking at the tomb robber.

 

“Of course he can see me I went to him!” Yami yelled noticing how upset Yugi was getting. Both Yugi and Ryou looked toward Bakura as they heard the baritone voice. Yugi pulled out of Ryou's grasp and walked over to the lithe form standing by the window.

 

“Y…Yami?” Yugi whispered.

 

“Yes aibou it's me.” Yami spoke softly as he looked at the floor.

 

Yugi looked at his dark and walked closer. “Are…you really here?”

 

“Yes…I am really here.” Yami kneeled down so he and his hikari were about the same height.

 

“Oh…Yami!” Yugi cried as he lunged forward to hug his dark, but ended up landing on his hands and knees as he went through him. Yugi turned and saw that Yami's eyes were closed and head down.

 

“Yami…I…I'm so sorry.” Yugi started crying. Yami turned toward Yugi and tried to offer as much comfort as he could even though he could not touch his light.

 

“Shhh it's okay.”

 

“No…I can't even hug you.” Yugi sobbed not looking at Yami.

 

Seto, Bakura, and Ryou looked at the heart broken hikari and noticed Yami wasn't fairing to well either.

 

Yami stood not looking at his hikari as he spoke. “I am so sorry Yugi. I…I never meant to leave you and I'm not sure how I am back, but I am.” He walked toward Seto and looked at the three who where looking at him and Yugi.

 

“I think I will go now.” Yami looked at Seto as he walked out the door leaving everybody behind.

 

Seto looked at Bakura and Ryou. “Stay with Yugi while try to go find him.” Both nodded as they helped the sobbing hikari to his room.

 

They finally got Yugi as calm as to be expected and sat in his room until he fell asleep. He was nodding off when he whispered something Bakura and Ryou stained to hear.

 

“I'm so sorry. Please Yami come back.”
