Chapter Eleven

 

 

A few days had passed and Yami, Yugi and Jou were getting ready to go to the mall to pick up some last minute gifts.

 

“Okay, so we are going to run in grab what we need and go.” Yami said as he put on his thick black leather coat.

 

“Yep that's all then we will finish wrapping the rest of the presents.” Yugi said.

 

“Come on ya guys let's go!” Jou said as he got into his car.

 

“Yami you can sit up front since you are taller than me.” Yugi smiled as he jumped on his darks back.

 

“Thanks Aibou.” Yami laughed as Yugi rode on his back the whole way to the car.

 

 

 

They arrived at the overly crowded mall.

 

They split up and ran through to pick up the gifts that had to be special ordered and a few last minute small gifts.

 

After about three hours they finally made it back to the car.

 

“That place was crazy!” Jou exclaimed as he slid into the driver's seat. Yugi slid in the back as Yami got into the front seat.

 

“Yeah you said it, this is the only thing bad about the Christmas holiday is the crowds.” Yugi stated as he looked at his dark.

 

“Also all the crazy people.” Yami smirked.

 

They pulled out of the parking garage and started to head back to the game shop. Snow was coming down hard and at least six more inches had fallen since they had been in the mall.

 

“Man, I've never seen it snow so much.” Jou commented at the sight of all the falling snow.

 

“Just be careful Jou the roads look really bad.” Yami pointed out.

 

“Don't worry Yam's I will be.” Jou flashed a smile, his eyes never leaving the road.

 

They got on the highway and headed for Yugi and Yami's home. They listened to the songs on the radio and sang along with them as they made there way back to the game shop.

 

 

 

Yami fumbled with the velvety box that held the ring he got for Seto as they drove.

 

“Hey what's dat?” Jou questioned Yami glancing quickly at the box.

 

“A ring I got for Seto.” Yami put the box back in his coat pocket.

 

“The one you said looked like the one you gave your high priest back in Ancient Egypt.” Yugi spoke.

 

“Yep that's the one Aibou.” Yami smiled at his hikari as he looked at him in the rear view mirror.

 

Jou took the exit that lead back to the game shop when he noticed headlights heading toward him.

 

“Oh shit, hang on guys!” Jou exclaimed as he tried to move out of the way, but the ice on the roads made it impossible as the car went out of control.

 

Yami noticed that the truck couldn't stop either and that it too had lost control.

 

“Brace ya'self!” Jou yelled as he threw his arms over his face.

 

`Shit the truck is going to hit their side!' Yami's mind screamed as he saw the truck sliding in the direction of the driver's side.

 

“Jou hit the gas!”

 

“What?”

 

“Damn it Jou just do it!” Yami screamed as he grabbed the steering wheel.

 

Jou slammed the gas pedal down as Yami jerked the wheel causing the car to spin so that his side was facing the truck.

 

Then as if in slow motion the truck hit the passenger side.

 

Yami felt the truck collide with his side and the cars frame give way with the force of the impact. He heard Yugi and Jou scream, but it sounded so far away.

 

He felt as though his body had been crushed and cried out in pain as he slumped forward like a rag doll. His head hit the windshield and he cried out once more as he felt his consciousness leaving him.

 

All he felt was immense pain and then all went black.

 

 

 

Yugi and Jou screamed as the car went spinning and hit the guard rail and came to an abrupt stop.

 

 

The truck that had hit them came to a stop when it hit the car. The man driving the truck got out and went over to the car to see if all the passengers were alright.

 

He looked into the driver side and saw that there were three teenagers in the car he quickly grabbed his cell phone and called for help.

 

 

Jou's eyes opened and he had a huge headache. He looked around and gasped at what he saw. Yami's head was on the dash and that his side of the car was smashed around him.

 

Blood trickled out of the corner of the Pharaoh's mouth and he had a huge gash causing his blonde bangs to have a reddish color.

 

“Jou, you okay?” Yugi whispered as he came out of the shock.

 

“Yeah Yuge.” Jou whispered still staring at Yami.

 

 

Crimson eyes opened half lidded and they were darker than normal.

 

“Jou…Aibou…you…..okay?” Yami choked out as his eyes moved around looking for the two.

 

“Yeah Yami I'm fine.” Jou said as he looked at the Pharaoh.

 

“Aibou?”

 

Yugi poked his head in between the two front seats and placed his hand in Yami's.

 

“I'm fine my dark, you saved us.” Yugi whispered as tears slid down his cheeks as he took in the sight before him.

 

The man that was driving the truck opened the driver side door.

 

“Helps on the way, just hang on.” He then continued to talk on his cell phone giving more detail of the three teenagers and where their location was.

 

Jou got out of his car and stood in the snow to let Yugi be closer to Yami. He knew the condition Yami was in wasn't good, but still hoped that he would make it.

 

He looked over to the man that was frantically talking on his cell phone. Then he looked at Yugi who was slowly getting out of the back and climbing into the front seat to be closer to Yami

 

Yugi slid into the drivers' seat and leaned as close to Yami as he could.

 

He took in the sight of his dark and all the blood that was on his face. He placed a hand gently on Yami's cheek and more tears came out as he heard Yami whimper.

 

“Oh Yami….why?” Yugi asked.

 

“It is and always… has been my duty to....protect you young one.” Yami breathed harder with each passing word.

 

Yugi looked at his dark as he reached into his pocket very painfully and retrieved the velvet box that held Seto's ring.

 

“Aibou…..I want ....you to give this…..to Seto.” He winced as he handed Yugi the dark blue velvet box.

 

“Yami what…” Yugi started to ask but was cut off by Yami squeezing his hand weakly.

 

“Tell him…I love him… and” Yami took a raspy breath. “That I'm…sorry.” Yami had tears in his eyes as he looked at his hikari.

 

“Yami you're going to be okay. Help is on the way please hold on.” Yugi pleaded as more tears ran down his face.

 

“Aibou I love…you always remember…that.” Yami breathed as he closed his eyes.

 

“YAMI! NO YAMI PLEASE WAKE UP DON'T LEAVE ME!” Yugi screamed as he put his head on Yami's shoulder still holding his hand.

 

Jou looked on with tear filled eyes as he was at a lose of what to do. He stood and prayed that help would get here soon.

 

 

Within minutes the paramedics, firefighters and police were there. Jou looked up as he saw firefighters heading over. Two paramedics ran to the car and grabbed Yugi by the shoulders so they could get him out of the way so that they could try and get to Yami.

 

“NO PLEASE LET ME GO I WANT TO STAY WITH HIM!” Yugi screamed as the two paramedics dragged him out of the car.

 

“Come on we need to get to him and you can't be in there.” One of the police said as he ran up to help with the young boy.

 

One of the policemen grabbed Yugi so that the paramedics could go tend to the boy still trapped in the car.

 

The paramedics ran over and tried to get to Yami only to realize that there was no way of getting him out of the car and they could not work on him in there.

 

 

“He's trapped!” One of the medics yelled at the firefighters.

 

Yugi dropped to his knees and Jou held the shaking form as the firemen brought the Jaws of Life over and began to rip the car apart so that Yami could be removed.

 

“Yami…he wasn't moving and….what if…he's…” Yugi cried unable to finish his sentence as he buried his face in Jou's chest.

 

Jou watched as they carefully pried the car apart so they would not harm Yami.

 

`Please for Yugi's sake let him be alright.' Jou thought as the held the shaking form of his friend.

 

They watched in fear hoping that Yami was going to be alright and that he would pull through this like he had so many times before.

 

 

 

Poor Yami.

 

Tear jerker I know.
