Notes: Um...wow I am really sorry that it has been like a year since I have updated, I really didn't mean for it to go that long. There has just been so much going on...and damn I really can't express how sorry I am! I really didn't mean for it to take this long for me to get everything together! Um...so since I made you wait so long already, I should get right into this.

Yami held Yugi close while he watched the small boy take deep breaths in and shudder on the way out. It had been at least fifteen minutes since they had all huddled together under the pine and Yugi was shivering non-stop.

"Has it s-stopped out t-there yet?" Bakura asked as he hugged Ryou trying to keep his brother warm. Seto stood very shakily and took a peak outside.

"It might have let up a bit but it is still snowing like crazy!" Seto exclaimed eager to get back next to his brother knowing that they both needed warmth form each other.

"We can do this, how about telling stories or singing or something to keep the moral up?" Yami suggested, he knew that if they didn't get out of the storm soon Yugi would have some serious complications. 'I just hope that they notice our absence back home' Yami though hoping that somehow hope was on the way.

Enko stole another glance at the clock on the wall as she continued cooking dinner for the boys.

Yuji saw her do this and sighed. "Enko would you stop looking at that damn clock you are making me nervous, we both know that master Yami is very careful and especially now that he had little master Yugi with him. He won't get them into a situation that we would have to worry about him," Yuji rationalized.

"Well if it wasn't in his control then he wouldn't be able to stop it and that would put him in an even more dangerous situation. Now I feel even worse!" Enko exclaimed throwing her duster in the air and breaking into a full fledge pace.

"Master Yami, where ever you are, please be safe," Yuji said, then sneaking a glance at the clock himself and sighing.

"...and then he had to go to work with green hair and everyone laughed when he yelled at them for doing wrong stuff. I remember this one time..." Mokuba said but Seto finally cut him off.

"Okay Mokuba that's enough about me, I do have an image to uphold!" Seto said. Mokuba scowled at him and everybody had to laugh.

"Yugi, do you have any stories you want to tell?" Yami asked Yugi while shaking him awake more, his eyelids had started to droop.

"No Y-Y-Yami," Yugi said, they could all tell he was tired but they all knew that if he fell asleep he might never wake again.

"Yugi, you need to do something to stay awake, we both know that you can't fall asleep," Yami begged.

"I know Yami it's j-just so cold, I c-cant feel my fingers," Yugi said shivering as he tried to disappear in Yami's warm body.

"Just hold on little one," Yami whispered rubbing Yugi's arms to get the blood flowing. "Just hold on."

**

"Okay I am calling the cops, we both know that Yami would never stay out this late without telling us and we also know that young master Yugi has to be in around every hour and it has already been two. He said he would have been back and he always keeps to his word, something is wrong," Enko said as he dashed for the phone.

"Fine, do what you want, but if he is fine you will feel rather silly!" Yuji said not showing how scared he was for his master as well.

"Please God watch over Yami," Enko said after hanging up the phone, she had given the information that they knew.

She had been told of a very bad storm that caused the people that owned the mountain to stop all lifts about an hour ago, and that a lot of people were at the top in a fall out shelter. Though they might be along those that they were considering missing they assured her that they would get looking for them as soon as the snow let up slightly.

"Is everything alright Enko?" Yuji asked as he placed a gentle hand on his long time friend's shoulder.

"I hope that it will be, but we will know nothing until the snow lets up and allows us further contact with the people on the top of the mountain, I will not lie, I fear for their lives," Enko said before breaking down into Yuji's shoulder, her long time friend offering as much comfort that he had to offer.

Seto stood for what must have been the thousandth time within the span that they had been stuck. Looked out the branches, except this time he came back with a slight smile on his face.

"It is almost over, we should get moving now, get our limbs use to walking again, and then we can start out to find some help," Seto decided and the others nodded in agreement except Yugi who was at the moment in his own little world.

Slowly each made their way to their feet, some holding to others for support, and in some cases being held up because of the lack of strength. In Yugi's case his legs wouldn't respond to the commands that his brain was giving them so Yami had to hold him up more of less.

Stumbling out of the area, wincing as the sunlight hit them, they were surprised by the damage the snow storm had done to the landscaping, trees were up turned and at some points the snow was four feet. Yami could tell that Yugi's strength was failing and that the small boy couldn't hold himself up, let alone walk in the deep snow.

Yami, without warning took hold of Yugi and picked him up clear off his feet. Yugi wanted to protest, tell then that having Yami carry him would slow them down but he could see the look of approval in Seto's eyes and knew he had lost a battle he hadn't even started.

They trudged threw the deep snow for what seemed like eternity but really was only like twenty minutes until they knew that they couldn't continue. Aches were beginning to make themselves present and forcing so much pain upon the individual that it made is nearly impossible to continue at all.

Slumping down in the snow they felt as if all hope was lost but as soon as their body's hit the snow in a dead faint did the sound of a helicopter come over their still bodies.

**

"Okay the snow has stopped and there has been no report of them since they went out for their last ride, so they have sent helicopters out to scale the mountain in a search for anyone who was out in the storm and survived, they said that all we could do no was wait," Enko said as she put the phone down. For the last hour she had been pacing and worrying so much that she almost knocked the phone out of the wall when it finally rang with information on Yami and Yugi.

"Good to hear, wait and see they will be fine," Yuji said, though he was not so sure of that himself.

**

"We can a confirmation, there are six bodies in the snow, they appeared to be moving a moment ago, we are finding flat land to land on and then we will check out our findings," the copter pilot said as they found a nice landing spot.

As the pilot and the paramedic that had gone with him neared the area where the group had dropped in sheer exhaustion, all they had to do was look to see the way they looked to know that they would need back-up.

"Oh my God," the pilot said, he took off in a sprint to get back to the copter to call for help; they were sending two more copters this time with more paramedics.

The paramedic that was already there didn't know where to start, all the boys were suffering from exposure to the cold, and the littlest was shivering non-stop.

There really wasn't much he could do without more equipment, he wrapped them all up, and the one with multi-colored hair was given an extra blanket. The white haired children weren't that bad, they kept each other fairly warm. The smaller one got out with a fractured left ankle, and the other boy had broken his wrist bone, both would have to be set at a different location.

Next to the small boy with multi-colored hair was a bigger version on him. He didn't look to bad, possible exhausted, and a bit cold but fairly good.

The last of the six boys looked rather well as well. Both had good coloring and didn't seem too exhausted, but the tests at the hospital would be a much better indicator.

It didn't take too long for the other people to arrive and they quickly strapped them all to boards because of safety persuasions. Soon, they were off.

On the ride there Yami came around slightly and was immediately trying to get out of where ever he was to get to Yugi.

"You need to calm down sir we have not yet been able to pinpoint your injuries," the paramedic on board said.

"That's because I am pretty much unharmed, where is Yugi?" Yami asked, well more like demanded.
