Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ unseen connection ❯ Breaking the Thread ( Chapter 5 )

 

[Yami's POV]

 

I ran out of the room, yelling for a doctor. This is all my fault, this is all my fault…

Shit, if he dies I'll be completely to blame.

 

Soon a doctor and two nurses run up to me. I point to Yugi's door, and they go in.

 

Twenty minutes later, they come out. I can't go in there. I don't deserve to see him.

 

“How is he?” I ask, desperately seeking reassurance.

 

The nurse smiles at me, in a nice way. “Don't worry, he'll be fine”

 

They leave.

 

Why Yugi!? He did nothing wrong, and now he's suffering. And it's all because of me. I have to find out why this happened. There must be some supernatural connection here.

 

*two hours later*

 

I've tracked down one of the most talented psychics in the area. Her place is a small, shabby house. The door is rotting. I knock, uncertainly. The door opens.

I suppose that means I should enter?

I do. There's a hallway, leading into a room at the end. The other doors along the hallway are shut.

 

“Hello?” I call out, looking around me. A woman enters from the room at the end of the hall. She's bent over, draped in scarves and cloth.

 

“I suppose you're Yami?” She states, around and going back into the room. “Come along, then”

 

I follow her into the room. Like the house, it's small and shabby. There's nothing but a cupboard on the wall and a small table with two chairs around it. She sat in one, beckoned for me to sit in the other. I did.

 

“Give me your hands” She says, taking them. She studies them for a moment.

“I understand you a worried about a lover?” She questions.

 

Amazing. “Yes”, I reply.

 

She doesn't seem to take note of my answer, as if she knew it already. She is silent for a minute or two. Then, she spoke.

“Do you know about parallel universes?” She looks into my eyes.

 

I shake my head. Not much, anyway. I've heard faintly of the concept.

 

She carried on. “Some say that there are parallel universes, with people like us. That are us, more accurately. But they live different lives. It appears you have a connection to Yugi in one of these parallel universes. And this binds you, somehow. There must have been some kind of hiccup in the boundaries”

 

It made sense in a way. But, as this seems to be a summarized version, it's probably more complicated than that.

 

I nod, trying to show some understanding.

“But, how do I break this tie?”

 

The woman gazed at me. “Break it? Are you sure?”

 

“Yes, definitely”

 

She sighed, going to her cupboard. She searched around in it for a bit, before bringing out a flask, and pouring some into a small bottle.

“Take this, drink it and get him to drink some, too” She seemed to have aged and tired in the last minute, she said it rather sadly.

 

I dug into my pockets. “How much?”

 

“you name the price” She answered, placing the bottle in front of me. She sighed again.

 

I took out $30, setting it on the table and put the bottle into my pocket.

“Thank you” I muttered, leaving. I wanted to do this as soon as possible.

She didn't answer.

 

It was raining outside, but as I had given the psychic the remainder of my money I had to walk.

 

Half an hour later, I arrived at the hospital, dripping wet. I ran past before the nurse at the admin could stop me.

 

Yugi was sitting awake in the room, watching TV on his bed.

 

He smiled wide as I came in. Terribly cute, but I have to learn to forget it.

 

“Hey, Yami!” He cheers, getting up to hug me. “I missed you”

 

Might as well get it over with. I pull away. He frowns, disappointedly. If only he knew…

“The doctor said to drink this” I hand him the bottle. I drank my share before entering the room. It tasted terrible.

 

“O-okay…” Yugi took the bottle, pressed it to his lips and tilted his head back. After he finished he grimaced. I see he didn't like it all too much, either.

 

I sit on my bed. Time to end it.

 

He sits next to me. “Is something wrong?”

 

I look sadly into his eyes. They're sad too, as though he is sharing my sadness. But he doesn't even know what's wrong yet.

 

“Yugi,” I start, looking down at my knees. I can't look at him. I might not be able to go through with it. “We have to stop this”

 

His voice comes, sounded both confused and worried. “Stop what?” I think he suspects what I mean.

 

“Yugi, we can't be together anymore” I look at him this time, so he knows I'm not joking around. I've caused too much pain for this boy. He deserves someone better.

 

He backs away, Gazing at me with watery eyes. “What? Why, Yami? I thought you loved me…”

 

Well, they say good things never stay.
