I GOT 100 REVIEWS!!!!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!!

Ahem…… Thank you to everyone who reviewed!! ;

Sorry for the wait for this chapter! Revision is soooooo boring! And I had my science exam on Friday…… I must be the only person stupid enough to use the word "ectoplasm" on a science exam…… --;

Review Responses:

Dagger Maxwell: I know…evil cliffies… ….they jump out of my pen when I'm not looking…

K Yami Yugi29: Yah, definite hypocrite…… I'm not going to give Yugi mental problems!!! That would be too mean!!! Its just a warning that nurses (in England, I don't know about anywhere else) have to give when dealing with situations like that. The only mental problem I'm going to give Yugi is a teeny bit of depression…… and for Small World, I will put a Y/Y lemon in there if I can! No promises, though…

Angel Fate of the Desert: afraid not…… cries

BlackRose Assassin: heeheehee!! Great idea!! I might use that for a side story, actually…… YOU WERE MY 100TH REVIEWER!!! THANKIES!!!!!!!!

Kitty Neko: Because I can!!!! Mwahahahaha!!! No, really because there was no other decent place to finish it!! Sorry!!

ChibiChib: Aww! Thankies!!

Pharaohs Angel: Luvved the new piccys!!!

I'mSonicCrazy: Yuppers! Definitely!! ::Watches Tea falling onto very sharp rocks, laughing maniacally::

Flowers: read on……

Angel Reaper: I'm glad you liked!! I've decided not to change the title. Yeah, my chapters are short!! I cant seem to be able to write anything longer than 6 pages!!!

Koishii no Tenshi: Uhhh… I'm gonna kinda need my leg back? I know, I'm evil, aren't I? These cliffies come form nowhere!

Hidden Dreams: They're not OC's!! ; They're two very nice reviewers who I gave a cameo part to! Sorry if that was confusing…… And Yugi isn't exactly being mean to Yami, he's just depressed and trying to isolate himself from everyone.

Thank you again to all who reviewed!! And I've decided to keep the title!!

Yami's POV

I entered the room to find my hikari sitting on the bed, knees drawn up under his chin, staring out of the window.

{{Aibou?}}

Yugi jumped, and turned his head to look at me. I saw tears glittering in his eyes before he turned away. I walked across the room and sat on the bed next to him. I reached out to brush my hikari's golden bangs away from his face, but stopped when I saw him flinch. /Please……don't/

{{Aibou, what's wrong?}}

He raised his head, and I blinked back tears of my own when I saw the look on his face. His eyes no longer shone with joy and happiness, instead, they were filled with pain, sadness, and something I never thought I'd see in my aibou: defeat. There were dark circles under his eyes, and his skin was unusually pale.

"Oh, Ra, Yugi," I breathed, shocked. An uncomfortable silence followed, and I remembered what the nurse had said to me outside. "Aibou, why didn't you tell me your bandages were being removed today?"

Yugi's POV

I looked at the floor, unable to meet his gaze. Why hadn't I? I could of told him…I love him, I trust him. Why couldn't I tell him?

[because you're scared…] said the nasty little voice in the corner of my brain. [You're scared that he'll leave you. That he won't want a weak, pathetic hikari like you…]

NO!!! He loves me……

Normal POV

Yami saw the evidence of the internal struggle on his hikari's face, and took Yugi's hands in his, pulling his hikari towards him. Lips touched in a gentle kiss, before Yami pulled away. "Aibou, I love you, more than anything……please tell me what's wrong so I can help you…"

Yugi had made up his mind. He looked at Yami, then threw the mind-link wide open.

Later, when Yami looked back at these events, he would describe the feeling when his hikari finally told him what was causing him so much pain as akin to watching a speeding truck coming towards you. You sort of see it in the distance, coming closer, closer, then BAM!! It hits you. Hard.

Yami cried out as the tidal wave of emotion ht him head on.

burning…pain…helpless…guilt…shame…burning…love…weakness…burning…alone…alone…

"No." Said Yami, looking deep into Yugi's amethyst eyes. "Aibou, I'd never leave you. I love you too much to leave you."

Something inside Yugi broke, and his head fell forward to rest against Yami's shoulder, tears falling from his eyes. Yami rubbed his hikari's back soothingly, then cupped Yugi's face in his hands.

Eyes met.

Lips met.

Yami traced the curve of Yugi's lips with his tongue, asking for entrance. Yugi parted his lips, and wrapped his arms around the spirit's neck. Yami's arms snaked around Yugi's waist, pulling him closer. Each of them relished the contact that they had missed for the past few weeks, then reluctantly pulled away.

{{I love you, aibou}}

{I love you too, Yami}

Later

After checking out in reception, Yugi shouldered the lighter of his bags (Yami had the other one) and slipped his hand into Yami's. "Do you want to walk, or get a taxi?" Yami asked as they walked out of the hospital. Yugi looked up at the clear blue sky, then smiled at the spirit. "I feel like walking. Especially after being stuck in that hospital room for so long." Yami grinned, and they started walking down the street, content in the presence of each other.

ITS FINISHED!!!!!!!!! This is the last ever chapter!!!!!!

Mu: Yay!!! No more crappy fic!!

Maf: whacks him upside the head Shut up, Muda!! Turns to readers I already have a sequel planned out…….

I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed, and special thanks to K Yami Yugi29, Pharaoh's Angel, and Koishii no Tenshi. Thanks also to Ri-chan, Michael and Alex, for moaning at me so much, enabling me to actually managing to finish this!!!
