Chapter Seventeen

 

 

Bakura started walking down the hall looking for anyone who may be able to point him in the way of Yami's room. He was walking down one of the many hallways when he came across Dr. Kamuzu who was looking intently at a clipboard.

 

“Excuse me can you tell me if my other friend is alright?” Bakura asked actually politely.

 

“What is your friends' name?”

 

“Yami”

 

The doctor looked over her clip board for that name. She looked up at Bakura and shook her head.

 

Then realization hit Bakura as he had given them his fake name instead of Yami.

 

“His name is actually Aten Sebak, but we call him….Yami.”

 

The doctor once again looked at her clipboard and shook her head as she looked at the young man before her with a puzzled look.

 

Bakura started to get frustrated.

 

“He looks almost like Yugi Motou only taller with tan skin and the same multi colored hair only with more blonde that shoots up like lightening bolts.”

 

The doctor thought for a moment before her deep green eyes went wide.

 

“Mr. Sebak was your friend?”

 

“Yes he has been my friend for many, many years.” Bakura answered as he gave her a suspicious look.

 

“Wait…did you just say was?”

 

Dr. Kamuzu looked at the man before her with sad eyes.

 

“Tell me where he is?!” Bakura lost it.

 

She looked once more at the man before her.

 

“I am truly sorry, but…” She stopped when she saw the look on Bakura's face.

 

He felt sick, like he was going to vomit any minute.

 

“P-please take me to him.” Bakura whispered as he looked at the doctor.

 

“I am sorry, but only family…” She was cut off by Bakura yelling.

 

“He doesn't have any family! Except for Yugi and I would rather tell him than have you do it!”

 

Dr. Kamuzu looked at the white haired man and saw the pain in his chocolate eyes.

 

“Alright but you can not tell anyone that I did this for you.” Her heart broke as she saw the tears in the mans eyes.

 

Bakura followed her as she walked into one of the other hallways.

 

“He may not have been moved yet.” She said as she opened the door and looked in.

 

“You may go in but please be quick.”

 

“Thank you.” Bakura said as she turned and walked toward the double doors in the hall.

 

Bakura walked in and saw Yami still in his black leather pants, jacket, gloves and boots lying above the sheets.

 

“Oh Pharaoh, not again.” Bakura walked up beside the bed and took Yami's hand in his. He looked at Yami and tears began to run from his chocolate eyes.

 

He looked upon the monarchs face and gently ran a hand down the side of Yami's face and resting it on his neck. He could no longer hold himself up as his legs started to shake and he collapsed on top of Yami. He buried his face deep into Yami's chest and started to cry harder.

 

His whole body shook violently as his anguished cries filled the whole room.

 

“Pharaoh come back you have to! You can't leave us again!” He then straddled Yami's hips as he pounded weakly on the still chest.

 

Why, why, why!” Bakura yelled

 

“You bring him back just to take him away again! Please you brought him back once you can do it again!” Bakura cried as he grabbed Yami by the shoulders and pulled the limp form into an embrace.

 

Yami's head lulled back as Bakura cried into his shoulder. He was shaking violently as he stroked Yami's hair.

 

How could the gods have done this they really had a cruel way of playing with people's emotions?

 

The doctor opened the door and cleared her throat. Bakura's eyes snapped open and he turned to see the doctor standing in the doorway.

 

He gently laid Yami back down onto the bed and slowly climbed off of him. He bent and kissed Yami on the forehead and cheek.

 

He straightened and walked out of the room and looked at Dr. Kamuzu.

 

“How did he..? It didn't even look like you tried!” Bakura lost it again.

 

“When he was brought in he was already gone.” She looked away.

 

Bakura looked at her and bowed his head.

 

He did try to save him, but it wasn't enough. He knew the Pharaoh was gone when he ran him into the hospital. Maybe it was false hope and denial that clouded his mind from seeing the truth.

 

Yami felt like death even in the limo when he was trying to resuscitate him, but didn't want to believe what his mind was telling him. He didn't want to accept the truth.

 

He was drawn out of his thoughts when the Dr. Kamuzu spoke again.

 

“You should get back to your friends and again I am truly sorry for your loss.” Dr. Kamuzu spoke as she turned and walked away leaving Bakura alone and in his own thoughts.

 

 

 

Bakura walked back toward Seto and Yugi's room and before he entered he tried to compose himself the best he could. How was he going to tell Yugi and Seto that Yami didn't make it? He could barely fathom it himself.

 

He placed his hand on the knob and paused as he breathed in deeply and let it out. He opened the door and walked in.

 

He looked at the two and noticed that they were completely dressed and standing in the middle of the room.

 

“Hey Bakura they said that we could go home tonight.” Yugi smiled up at Bakura.

 

“Where's everyone else?” Bakura looked from Yugi to Seto.

 

“They're all in the waiting room.” Seto said as he began to walk out the door but stopped as he heard Yugi speak.

 

“How's Yami?” Yugi said as he gave Bakura a serious look.

 

Bakura felt the whole sick feeling coming on again as he looked from Yugi to Seto.

 

“He is alright isn't he?” Yugi asked worry evident in his voice and amethyst eyes.

 

Bakura looked down unable to look the Pharaoh's hikari in the eyes.

 

“Bakura?” Seto said as he stepped closer to the tomb robber.

 

Bakura shook his head as the tears ran from his eyes.

 

“No…Yugi…Seto…he isn't.” Bakura still did not look up to look Seto or Yugi in the eyes.

 

“No…NO!” Seto yelled as he grabbed Bakura by the shoulders.

 

“Bakura please tell us he is alright!” Seto yelled as he shook Bakura.

 

Bakura said nothing as Seto shook him and his head still remained downward.

 

Yugi looked at Seto and Bakura tears streaming down his face. He suddenly tore out of the room and into the hallway. He had no idea where he was going as he ran as fast as he could down the hall.

 

As he blindly ran he bumped into someone.

 

“Whoa!”

 

He looked up and saw that it was Dr. Kamuzu.

 

“Where's Yami?!” Yugi yelled at the woman standing before him.

 

“Who?” The doctor looked at the young man.

 

Yugi gave an aggravated sigh as he lowered his voice.

 

“Aten…I…we call him Yami.” He whispered.

 

Dr. Kamuzu looked down at Yugi with a sad look in her eyes. She stepped aside and pointed toward a room at the end of the hall.

 

“You may go and see your brother.” She said softly.

 

Yugi looked up at her with a confused questioning glance.

 

“Your friend with the wild white hair told me.”

 

Yugi nodded sadly as he turned and began walking toward the room that she had pointed to.

 

He quietly and slowly opened the door and stepped inside.

 

He put his hands up to his mouth as he saw Yami lying completely dressed on top of the bed.

 

Yami's face was slightly blue, his mouth partially opened and his eyes half lidded with the glazed over look of death in them.

 

Yugi ran to the nearest waste basket and puked up his stomach contents. He heard running down the hall, but could not look up.

 

Seto followed Bakura into the room and looked from Yugi to Yami. His face got deathly pale at the sight before him.

 

Their friends had seen them all take off running down the hall and followed. They stopped at the entryway and all gave a collective gasp.

 

Jou and Anzu rushed over toward Yugi while the rest stood and stared wide eyed at the figure on the bed.

 

Seto walked over and placed both hands on either side of Yami's face as he placed his lips to Yami's and let out an anguished cry.

 

Yugi looked up as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Everyone looked at Seto and Yami with pained, tearful eyes. The sound Seto made was so heart breaking that everyone felt their heart shatter.

 

Seto kissed Yami's unmoving, blue lips and then kissed his cheek. He slid down to his knees beside the bed and lifted Yami's limp hand to his lips.

 

“No…no…Yami please come back to me….y-you can't be gone. I can't lose you again.” Seto pleaded as tears ran from his sapphire eyes.

 

Bakura helped a horrified Yugi to the other side of Yami's bed as he looked at the unblinking crimson eyes.

 

Bakura took his hand and closed Yami's eyes so that no one including himself had to see that. Yes he had seen death many times and had caused a lot of it, but it was too much to see the Pharaoh, who he loved like that.

 

“No…t-this isn't happening.” Yugi sobbed as he laid his head on Bakura's chest.

 

He looked over at Yami and slowly pulled away from Bakura as he stepped closer.

 

He looked so cold and sad and this caused Yugi to sob more as his heart broke at the look on his darks face.

 

Finally Yugi snapped.

 

“YAMI WAKE UP!” Yugi yelled as he began to beat Yami's chest hard with both fists.

 

“I WON”T LET THIS HAPPEN AGIN! TAKE ME INSTEAD!” Yugi wailed as he pounded harder.

 

Finally he stopped and sat on Yami's bed. He looped his arms around Yami's neck and began to sob hard and loud into Yami's damp hair.

 

“No…please…don't take him away form me again.” Yugi cried as he kept his face in Yami's hair.

 

Seto looked up and saw the heartbreaking seen of Yugi holding Yami around the neck and crying.

 

No this wasn't happening Yami was supposed to pull through this. Everything was supposed to turn out all right and everyone would go home happy.

 

Seto couldn't imagine going back to a world with out Yami or Aten by his side. Then despair hit him full force as he looked back at Yami.

 

He couldn't go on without Yami and he knew this. The last two years were hell on him and he didn't want to try and move on again. He didn't have the strength. Mokuba was old enough now to take care of himself and knew he could handle the company.

 

Was death the answer? He wasn't sure but he would be with Yami and that was all he wanted more than anything. He looked at the somber tear filled eyes of everyone in the room and even Mokuba was taking it hard.

 

No, I couldn't leave him even if I wanted to be with Yami, Mokuba still needs me.

 

He closed his eyes and held Yami's hand tighter as he cried harder.

 

No, life was not fair and he knew that better than anyone. Well except for Yugi. They have been through so much that ending it all seemed like the easiest way.

 

Yami wouldn't want that though he would want them all to move on and try to live their lives to the fullest. Plus Seto made a promise to watch over Yugi and he was going to keep it.

 

He opened his eyes and looked over at Yugi who still had his face buried into Yami's hair and sobbing.

 

He may have grown up a lot in two years but he was still in Seto's eyes the same person he was two years ago. Once again he closed his eyes and listened to the sobs that were heard through the whole room.

 

Tbc…
