Chapter Fourteen

 

It was Christmas day and Seto awoke. He looked over at the clock and noticed that it was eight in the morning. He sat up and stretched as he then lazily got out of bed and made it to the bathroom to take a shower to wake himself up.

 

He undressed and stepped in and let the warm water run down his back. He was about to fall asleep standing up since the warm water was relaxing him so he turned the water to cold. He jumped as the ice cold water came down on him. He grumbled to himself as he began to wash his hair.

 

After he got dressed he went downstairs and made himself a cup of coffee. He was about to pull the creamer out of the refrigerator when he was grabbed round the waist from behind.

 

“Nii-sama you're home!” Mokuba exclaimed delighted.

 

“Yeah, Yugi and I fell asleep in Yami's room and the nurse to check Yami's vitals came in and told us that we needed to go.”

 

“Are you going again today?” Mokuba asked as he joined his brother at the table.

 

“I am but you are coming with me. After you open your present's of course.”

 

Mokuba got up so fast he made Seto laugh.

 

“Thanks, you're the best.” Mokuba then made a mad dash to the tree.

 

After they opened presents Seto called Yugi to tell him he would be arriving shortly to take him and Sugoroku to the hospital. Seto and Mokuba headed out the door as Seto grabbed the present he had gotten for Yami. They got in the car and headed for the game shop.

 

All four entered the hospital and headed for Yami's room. Once there Sugoroku and Yugi went in first to see Yami.

 

“Yami”

 

// Aibou //

 

“Yeah, jii-chan is here too.”

 

“Hello Yami.” Sugoroku spoke as he placed a hand on Yami's shoulder.

 

“How are you feeling?” Yugi placed his hand on Yami's”

 

// So much pain…where's Seto? // Yami asked through the mind link.

 

“He is outside would you like me to go get him?”

 

// yeah…I want you to stay too. //

 

“Alright.” Yugi turned to his jii-chan. “Yami would like to see Kaiba.”

 

Sugoroku smiled as he looked at Yami. “I will go and get him, take care Yami.”

Yami nodded a little as jii-chan left the room.

 

Yugi looked back at Yami and noticed that his once bright crimson eyes looked far away and glazed over.

 

Yugi sat and ran his hands through Yami's messy hair and spoke about anything that might cheer him up. Moments later Seto entered and Yami glanced at his love as he walked over and knelt beside Yugi.

 

Yami closed his eyes and concentrated on both his aibou and priest hearing him. Then both Yugi and Seto noticed that the puzzle Yugi wore glowed a bright golden color.

 

//Aibou //

 

\\ What is it Yami? \\

 

// Tell Seto to put his hand on the puzzle. //

 

Yugi looked at Seto and held up the puzzle toward him. “Yami wants you to touch the puzzle.

 

Seto looked ant Yami then back to Yugi as he placed his hand on the millennium puzzle. He felt light headed as something made his mind swirl then a surge like electricity shot all the way through his body. He looked at Yami who smiled as he looked from Seto to Yugi.

 

// Seto //

 

~ Yami, but how? ~

 

// Since we have a bond now…// Yami closed his eyes as a wave of pain shot through his body.

 

\\ He can speak to you now through mind link. \\ Yugi said as he looked at Yami who had his eyes squeezed shut.

 

~Oh…Hey you can too! ~

 

\\ Yep \\ Yugi smiled looking at Seto.

 

Seto looked away from Yugi and toward Yami. He pulled out a little red velvet box from out of his pocket and moved to sit on the edge of Yami's bed.

 

// Seto….what? //

 

~Shhh, my love ~ Seto placed his hand on Yami's.

 

~ I want to give you something. A promise of my love. ~ Seto then placed a ring on Yami's right ring finger.

 

“Yami I will always love you.”

 

Tears formed in Yami's eyes as he looked at Seto then to his hikari, who also had tears forming in his amethyst eyes.

 

// Seto…. // Yami looked at the ring and more tears rolled down his face.

 

//Seto….how….this was. //

 

“Yes my Pharaoh it is exactly like the ring I gave you in Egypt as the one you gave me.” Seto held up his right hand to show Yami that he had his ring.

 

Yami blinked away fresh forming tears and gazed back down at his ring.

 

“Wow it is beautiful.” Yugi spoke while looking at the ring.

 

A gold band with red ruby's that matched his darks eyes lined the top.

 

// Yes aibou it is. // Yami then looked at Seto.

 

// Thank you my love this means so much. // Yami breathed as his eyes slid close.

 

“My love we will let you rest, but we will be back later.” Seto kissed his cheek.

 

Yugi placed a small kiss on Yami's forehead. “Get some rest Yami.”

 

// Love you aibou, Love you Seto. //

 

“Love you too.” Both Yugi and Seto said together as they made their way to the door. Yami smiled as he moved the ring with his thumb. He soon drifted off to

sleep as he thought of his priest

 

 

In the waiting room everyone showed up that afternoon to check up on Yami. Bakura sat next to Seto as Ryou sat beside Yugi.

 

“So Priest, how is the Pharaoh?” Bakura asked actually concerned.

 

“So far he is doing well; he woke up yesterday, but still can't speak with the respirator on.” Seto looked at the tomb robber to see if he was going to say some snide remark.

 

“That's great.” Ryou chimed in as he turned back and continued talking to Yugi.

 

“So Yuge can we see him?” Jou said as he walked over and put an arm around Yugi's shoulders.

 

“Right now he is asleep, but after he wakes up you can.”

 

Sugoroku walked up and stood beside his grandson.

 

“I just spoke with the doctor and he said that Yami will be taken of the respirator today.”

 

“That's great Jii-chan!” Yugi exclaimed.

 

“The Pharaoh is a fighter. I told you he would pull through.” Bakura stated to his hikari.

 

“Yes he is.” Seto looked at Yugi and smiled.

 

Mokuba walked over and smiled as he hugged his brother. “You truly do love him don't you nii-sama?”

 

Seto looked down at his brother and smiled. “Yes Mokuba I really do.” Mokuba's smile got even bigger as he saw how happy his brother truly was.

 

“Well I'm happy for the both of you.”

 

“Thank You” Seto hugged him tighter.

 

Everyone sat and talked as they all waited to see Yami. Yugi and Jou talked about the upcoming duel monsters tournament and they would get together to help put together an even more powerful deck.

 

Mai and Anzu talked about shopping, Ryou was trying to get Bakura to stop sending inanimate objects to the shadow realm, but was failing miserably as his yami did it again every time his hikari turned his back.

 

Sugoroku was reading and article on Egyptian artifacts that was discovered by his good friend Arthur Hawkins. He had found a new tomb and was in the middle of excavating it and it showed many pictures.

 

One painting looked a lot like Yami.

 

Mokuba was leaning against Seto asleep, while Seto watched the news and read the newspaper at the same time. Soon though he joined his brother and drifted off to sleep.

 

They all sat in silence as some slept and others silently read or watched TV. The silence however was broken when nurses and doctors came scrambling through the hall yelling various orders.

 

Seto looked up and sapphire eyes widened as he saw the room that they scrambled into. He stood up and turned toward Bakura who was standing near him.

 

Bakura's eyes had doubled in size as he looked from Seto to the door the medical staff had run into. Yugi had his hands over his mouth as he sank to the floor, tears running from his eyes and down his cheeks.

 

Everybody had stopped what they were doing and now stood with disbelief at what was actually happening.

 

Maybe they saw wrong. Maybe the doctors and nurses ran into a different room. Yami was supposed to be getting better the doctor even said so.

 

Yugi looked at his jii-chan and then to Seto as he stood and walked toward Yami's door. He had his hand on the door knob when the door busted open sending Yugi to the ground on his butt. He looked up and noticed that they had Yami and rushing him down the hall.

 

“Hurry we're losing him!” A nurse with burgundy hair yelled as she held onto his wrist feeling the pulse get weaker by the second.

 

“He's bleeding out!” The nurse with brunette hair yelled as she sat straddling his hips trying to stop the blood that seemed to be coming from everywhere.

 

“Quick call Dr. Makari and prep operating room three!” The younger doctor yelled as he ran beside the bed.

 

“Right!” The other man said as he got on his phone.

 

They did not look at the family and friends who stood with terror etched faces.

 

 

Seto broke out of his daze as he ran over and helped Yugi up off the floor who just sat there with head in his hands. Seto grabbed Yugi by the wrist and dragged him to his feet.

 

“Come on!” Seto shouted as he took off running down the hall in the direction that they had taken Yami. Everyone even Yugi had caught up with Seto as he ran down the hall

 

“Hey!” Jou yelled as he ran beside Seto.

 

“Where are you taking him?” Yugi panicked

 

“To the operating room!” The nurse yelled as she paged someone.

 

They all took off towards the elevator and crammed inside as the door closed.

 

Finally after what seemed like eternity they got off and saw Yami being taken into one of the rooms at the end of the hall. Something was wrong terribly wrong and everyone knew it.

 

They made their way towards the big window so they could see what was going on and why they had rushed Yami to the OR so quickly.

 

Seto's heart stopped as he saw the scene before him. Yami looked to be convulsing and blood was everywhere as the nurses and doctors tried frantically to get it to stop. Then all of a sudden Yami had quit moving.

 

Seto tried to look away, but it was futile.

 

Yugi paled at the sight before him and grabbed Seto's arm.

 

They stared at the doctor trying to resuscitate Yami when the burgundy haired nurse walked over and closed the blinds.

 

Bakura put his head down as he heard a sound that seemed to be deafening.

 

He looked to Seto and Yugi who looked at the window with pleading eyes.

 

The steady hum of the heart monitor filled the room and everyone standing there looked frantically at each other as though they were hearing things and praying that it would start beeping once more.

 

That of course was not the case and a few moments later the steady hum went quiet and no noise was heard.

 

Bakura looked once more at Yugi and saw that he was clinging to Seto with eyes shut tightly and tears streaming down his cheeks.

 

Seto looked as though he were a lost soul and stared blankly at the window in front of him.

 

Everyone had there heads bowed and sobs where all Bakura could hear. They had lost the Pharaoh and no amount of prayers or tears would bring him back.

 

Tbc…

 

I killed Yami……Please don't hurt me…
