Chapter Twelve

 

Seto sat in the living room with Mokuba as they watched TV. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve and everybody was coming over to exchange gifts and hang out. Seto was about to get up and head to the kitchen to get something to drink when he saw the channel flash a breaking news bulletin. He sat down and turned it up so he could hear it.

 

“We are coming to you live from a horrible accident involving three teenagers here from Domino.” A lady with burgundy hair and dark complexion spoke.

 

Seto looked at the report scanning the mess to get and idea of who it may be. He noticed a big silver Dodge Ram and a little dark blue Ford Focus.

 

“Seto that looks like Jou's car.” Mokuba said as he sat next to his brother.

 

The news reporter appeared on the screen again with a police officer beside her.

 

“We have been told by officials that two teens have made it out with only minor cuts and bruises, but one still remains trapped.” The reporter spoke as she introduced the officer and the camera zoomed to him.

 

“The Domino Fire Department are doing all they can to remove the teenager. His friends told us he made the car spin so it would save them. The truck hit the passenger side instead of the driver side.” The officer looked somber as they zoomed back to the accident

 

Seto turned the TV up and sat starring at the wreck on the screen.

 

“Yami” he breathed as he felt a pull at his heart as he watched the report. His heart stopped though when he saw two familiar teens.

 

“Yugi, Jounouchi.” He gasped as fear invaded his heart.

 

Just then the phone rang and Seto grabbed it and actually answered in a silent.

 

“Hello.”

 

“Kaiba I was wondering if Yami or Yugi are over there. I need a ride form the airport.” It was Yugi's jii-chan.

 

Seto sighed as he put a hand on his head and tried not to break down.

 

“No, they are not Mr. Motou. I will come and get you.” With that Kaiba hung up.

 

“Come on Mokuba.” Seto handed his brother his jacket and they headed put the door.

 

The firefighters finally got the third teenager out of the car. The paramedics rushed over with a stretcher and carefully lifted Yami's limp form onto it.

 

“He's not breathing!” One paramedic shouted as he started trying to resuscitate Yami.

 

Yugi ran over to his dark with Jou on his heals. They stood in horror as they watched two paramedics trying to get Yami breathing again.

 

“We have a pulse, but it is very weak. We need to get him to the hospital and fast.” The taller of the paramedics stated and the other nodded. They both lifted Yami into the ambulance.

 

“Are you family?” The younger paramedic asked looking at Yugi.

 

“Yeah…he…he is my brother.” Yugi choked out between sobs. He told people that he didn't know that Yami and him where brothers.

 

“Come on get in.” The other paramedic said.

 

“Can my…friend come too?” Yugi looked from them to Jou as he held onto him like a life line.

 

The two paramedics looked at each other and the older one shrugged. “Sure let's go!”

 

As they rushed to the hospital. Yugi prayed to every god that Yami would make it.

 

 

 

At the airport Seto and Mokuba walked through the baggage claim to find Mr. Motou.

 

“Mr. Kaiba.” A much older version of Yugi stepped up in front of him.

 

“Mr. Motou, here let me help you.” Seto picked up two duffle bags.

 

“Thank you.”

 

They walked outside and Seto put Mr. Motou's things into the trunk. He closed the trunk and was about to get into the car when his cell phone rang.

 

“Kaiba” He growled

 

“Seto”

 

“Yugi”

 

“Please get down to Domino Memorial right away.” Yugi managed to choke out.

 

“Why? Is it Yami?” Seto asked.

 

His heart sank when he heard Yugi start crying.

 

“Yugi” He finally managed

 

“Hey Kaiba.”

 

“Jounouchi what the hell is going on?” Seto asked starting to get a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.

 

“Jus' get here as soon as you can and we'll explain.” Jou spoke softly.

 

 

Seto made it to the hospital in record time as he slid into one of the parking spaces. The three got out of the car and raced towards the entrance.

 

As Seto, Mokuba and Sugoroku walked into the entrance Yugi and Jou ran up to them.

 

“Jii-chan!” Yugi flung himself into his arms.

 

“Yugi what's going on? Where is Yami?” Sugoroku asked.

 

Yugi's eyes filled with tears once more. “He…we had a car….accident and...”

 

Yugi paused and looked toward Seto who had unshed tears lining his eyes.

 

“He made the car spin so it…would hit his…side instead or ours.” Yugi broke down into his jii-chan's chest and cried painful sobs.

 

“Where is Yami now?” Seto asked Jou.

 

“They have him in surgery.”

 

“We need to call all of our friends.” Yugi spoke as he turned to look at Seto and Jou.

 

Jou and Mokuba went to call everyone and let them know as Sugoroku and Seto took Yugi to the waiting room.

 

It had been two hours and still no word on Yami's condition. Everyone was there now. Bakura, Ryou, Anzu, Honda, and Mai. They all sat with somber faced and in complete silence. They looked up when they heard the door to the room open and in stepped the doctor with no emotion showing on his face.

 

“Are you the family and friends of Yami Motou?” He asked as he looked at the room full of worried and grief stricken faces.

 

Yugi and Sugoroku stood and nodded.

 

 

Sugoroku stepped forward with Yugi latched on to his arm. “I am his jii-chan and this is his brother.”

 

The doctor turned to everyone else in the room. “Could you please excuse us for a few minutes?”

 

Jou was about to protest when Sugoroku spoke up. “They can stay; I don't mind they are as close to Yami as family.”

 

The doctor paused and looked at the rest of the people in the room and noticed that Seto Kaiba was even in the room.

 

“Alright, Well Yami is in stable but critical condition. He had internal bleeding which we stopped for now, six broken ribs that cause a punctured lung, also sustained head injury resulting in a concussion.”

 

Everyone in the room had tears in their eyes at hearing all the injuries the pharaoh had.

 

“Can we see him?' Yugi spoke so softly the doctor had to strain to hear him.

 

“Yes, but only two people at a time for now.

 

They all made their way to Yami's room in the intensive care unit and stood in the hallway. Yugi stopped at the door and placed his hand on the door knob. He glanced back at everyone as he slowly opened the door. He turned to look at Seto.

 

“Kaiba will you come in with me?” Amethyst eyes looked pleadingly at him. Everybody except for Bakura, Ryou, and Jou looked completely lost and confused. Seto nodded and rested his hand on Yugi's shoulder.

 

Yugi took a breath in as he pushed the door fully open. They stepped in and gasped at the sight before them.

 

Yami lay on a bed with white sheets pulled up to his waist. He was pale and bruised with so many different tubes and wires hooked up to his body. His chest moved up and down slowly with the help of the respirator that was coming out of his half opened mouth.

 

Yugi walked slowly over to his dark and placed a hand to Yami's forehead then gently ran a hand through his hair. Seto had made his way to the other side of Yami and slid his hand under Yami's being careful not to hit the IV. The room was silent except for the constant beeping of the heart monitor.

 

“Why?” Seto breathed as he shut his eyes tightly. Yugi looked up at Seto with tears streaming down his cheeks.

 

“I can not lose you again. I couldn't save you then and I could not save you now.” Seto said almost angry.

 

“Yami wake up!” He wailed as he put his head on the bed and sobbed.

 

Yugi's heart tore in two at the sound of Seto's voice. It was so pained and angry at the same time.

 

Yugi stood and made his way over toward Seto and did the only thing he knew to do. He embraced his former rival as Seto hung to him like a lifeline and cried into his shoulder.

 

He could feel Seto shaking and seeing the proud CEO in this shape caused him to break down and he too began to cry harder.

 

They sat in each others embrace crying and saying silent prayers when a nurse walked in.

 

“Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt, but visiting hours are over and the doctor needs to check Mr. Motou's vitals.” She spoke as soft as an angel.

 

Seto and Yugi stood. Yugi bent and kissed Yami on the forehead then walked to the door. Seto kissed Yami's cheek.

 

“Please wake up soon my love.” He whispered a she followed Yugi out the door and into the waiting room.

 

Everyone saw the two former rivals walk beside each other as they entered the waiting room and wondered what they had missed. They couldn't help but notice that the CEO had been crying.

 

What had shocked them the most was that Yugi had asked Seto to come with him and Seto nodded his head instead of making a rude comment.

 

Maybe the CEO wasn't as cold hearted as everybody thought. Only four people knew the truth though.

 

They all sat in the waiting room most watching as Seto tried to comfort Yugi and his brother. Bakura got up and walked over to the window and stared out at the snow that was still falling.

 

“He will pull through this.” Bakura said still remaining by the window.

 

Ryou looked at Bakura who still remained starring out at the night sky and noticed one thing that he never thought he would see. Bakura's eyes were shining with unshed tears as he looked out upon the darkened night.

 

He thought it best not to say anything to Bakura at the moment so he turned and sat in silence as the others had been doing.

 

Soon everyone had fallen to sleep but one still remained awake. Bakura looked at everyone in the room as he sat back a little in the chair.

 

“Baka Pharaoh.” Was the only thing he could whisper as tears started to form in his eyes.

 

He stood and made his way down the hall so that no one would wake and see that he was crying.

 

He had made it around the corner when all the tears and emotions came. He leaned up against the cold glass window and slid to the floor as he was engulfed in sorrow.

 

The cold and heartless tomb robber sat and cried for the Pharaoh who used to be his sworn enemy in Egypt and not to long ago in the modern world.

 

 

 

Sad I know.

 

I made Bakura actually cry and have a heart in this story.
