Chapter Sixteen

The phone rang and rang, finally he stumble to the desk.

“Hello.”

“Yugi.”

“Kaiba it's three thirty in the morning.” Yugi yawned as he looked at his alarm clock and flopped back on his bed.

“I know but I need to speak to you please.”

Suddenly thoughts of Yami ran through Yugi's head. Tears began to form in his eyes once more as he cleared his throat.

“Yugi?”

“Umm…sure.” He whispered.

“Good, I'll be right over.” Seto hung up.

Yugi groggily got out of bed and looked at the puzzle that was currently on his night stand.

He grabbed it and walked out of the door

Yugi made his way downstairs as he carried the phone in one hand and holding the puzzle close to his chest. Gently he laid the puzzle on the couch and looked at it. Hoping any moment Yami would appear and tell him that everything was a nightmare and it would be alright.

He knew though that it was reality and Yami was gone.

He sat and watched the snow fall outside as he waited for Kaiba.

Wondering why Seto needed to see him he laid down on the couch and turned on the TV. Soon though he fell asleep from pure exhaustion.

He never noticed the puzzle dimly glow nor the figure sitting at the bottom of the stairs.

Yugi awoke to a loud knocking coming from the kitchen. He walked toward the door and looked out the window to see Kaiba. He opened the door and let Kaiba in and out of the snow.

Before Yugi could offer him anything Kaiba turned around and looked down at Yugi.

“Something is going on!”

Yugi looked up at Seto and noticed Seto looking around and a bit on edge.

“I've been sensing Yami…but...” He stopped in mid sentence trying to compose himself.

Yugi looked at Seto and saw howpale he was.

“Seto, I too have felt him, it's as though he his still…with us.” He felt the tears start to come again.

Yugi motioned for Seto to follow him to the living room. They both sat on the couch as Yugi picked up the puzzle and placed it on his lap.

“The puzzle glowed and it felt as though Yami was still here.”

Seto looked at him with an eyebrow arched.

“I know... I know it is impossible, but I don't know, maybe I just don't want to accept that he is gone.” He put his head down to look at the puzzle.

“Yugi, I know how you feel, but aspainful as it is he is not coming back."

Yugi just nodded his head as he stared at the puzzle.

They both sat in silence and soon both had fallen to sleep.

It was now eight in the morning and Seto awoke. He groggily got up and made his way to the door when the phone rang.

“Hello”

“Is Sugoroku or Yugi Motou available?”

“Who is this?” Seto asked as he looked at Yugi who was still asleep on the couch.

“This is Dr. Makari.”

“Oh, hold on.” Seto mad his way toward Yugi and shook him and handed the phone over.

“It is Dr. Makari.”

“Hello.” Yugi mumbled as he tried to stretch.

“Is this Yugi Motou?”

“Yes.”

“I was calling to tell you that something has happened…”

Yugi interrupted the doctor. “What do you mean?”

Dr. Makari sighed. “Well it is hard to explain over the phone if you could please come down hear as soon as you can I will explain everything.”

“Okay we will be there.” Yugi hung up and looked at Seto.

“He wants us to come to the hospital.”

“Why?” Seto asked as he looked confused at Yugi.

“He wouldn't say over the phone.” Yugi shrugged.

Seto grabbed his coat and fished his keys out of his pocket. “Come on let's go.”

Yugi nodded and he too grabbed his coat and followed him out the door.

Seto and Yugi made their way through the hospital entrance and toward Dr. Makari's office. Once there Seto knocked on the door and waited as the doctor had given them permission to enter. When they entered Dr. Makari was sitting at his desk with a confused look upon his face as he was going through a stack of files.

Yugi stepped closer to the desk with Seto right behind him. “You wanted to see me.”

The doctor looked up from his work to look at the two. “Ah, Mr. Motou and Mr. Kaiba.” He paused as he stood up.

“Please both of you follow me.” He walked out of his office and they followed him until they reached room 321.

Seto looked at the doctor and then to Yugi who had suddenly went to stand behind Kaiba.

He glared at the doctor.

“Is this some sort of sick joke!” Seto growled.

Yugi slid farther behind Seto as tears started forming in his big amethyst eyes.

“This is no joke Mr. Kaiba.” Dr. Makari pushed the door open.

There laid Yami still hooked up to the many machines. Yugi and Seto gasped as they took in the sight.

“After you left yesterday we removed most of the tubes but when we reached the heart monitor Yami suddenly began to convulse. At first we thought it was muscle spasms, but then the heart monitor started to beep and soon a heart rate was visible.”

“So Yami is alive?” Seto asked voice breaking.

“Yes, but he is in a coma. We do not know when he will come out of it.” Dr Makari spoke as he looked at Yugi who was holding on to Seto's arm.

“This is the strangest thing that has ever happened. In my thirty years I have never seen a patient that has been gone so long come back among the living.

Seto and Yugi looked toward Yami and saw his chest rise and fall without the help of the respirator. Dr Makari looked at the two and started to walk out the door.

“You may stay with Yami as long as you like, I will let the staff know not to disturb you.” Then he walked out and shut the door behind him.

Seto and Yugi took a seat on either side of Yami, Seto held back the tears forming in his eyes as he looked at the pale form of his love.

Yugi sat at the edge of the chair holding Yami's hand as he spoke.

“You came back to us. Please don't leave again.” Tears streamed down his face as he laid his head on the bed.

Seto sat back in the chair and wished those crimson eyes would open and everything would be alright. He looked at the dark circles under his loves eyes.

The Gods did answer his prayers. Yami was back now the only question was when would he would awaken.

Hours passed as they sat in silence beside Yami's bedand finallyfell asleepdue to the lack of sleep for the last few days.

A transparent figure made its way across the room and sat at the window looking at the three sleeping forms.

It then smiled and turned around and looked out the window and watched as teh snow fell lightling up the whole city.

Two weeks had passed and Yami still had not awoke, but everyone was hopeful.

Seto stayed late at work trying to get the plans together for the new duel tournament he was hosting. Looking at his watch he sighed as he saw it was midnight.

He stood and made his way toward the door when he felt a cold breeze. He stopped and stood in one spot as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

“Not again.” He breathed as turned. Expecting to see nothing he was scared out of his mind as he stared wide eyed at the figure.

“Yami!"He gasped.

Yami nodded his head and looked up at Seto with his crimson eyes. Seto noticed that Yami was transparent, but his eyes still held their intense color. Seto was about to speak when Yami held his hand up to Seto's lips.

“Shhh, my love do not worry we will be together. Everything will be fine.” Yami whispered.

The cold from Yami's hand lingered on Seto's lips as he looked at Yami and had only one question.

“Why?”

“A fatal mistake, but do not worry everything will be right again.” Yami turned away from Seto and began to walk away.

“But…you're supposed to be alive, at least that is what the doctor said.” Seto was confused.

“How can you be here and as a spirit?”

“My physical body is unable to contact anyone but my spirit still can. The mind is a very powerful tool Seto and I have learned this in my 3,000 plus years.” Yami said as he began to walk further away from Seto.

“Please don't leave. I…I've missed you so much.” Seto pleaded.

Yami turned to look at his love.

“I must leave for now, but we will be reunited. Trust me.”

“Yami I trust you and know that I love you with all my heart.” Seto had tears in his eyes.

“As I love you my priest.” Yami bowed his head and began to fade.

“Everything will be as it was.” Yami vanished as Seto stood in complete silence once more.

He finally grabbed his coat and walked out into the snow and toward his car to head home.

He hoped that Yami was right and everything would be alright.

He did trust Yami, but not fate itself.
