A Little Broken Heart

Author's Notes: I do not own YuGiOh or any other things to relate to it. I do not know to true names of Yugi's parents, so I'm just making up some.

BTW, Character Death Warning.

Little Yugi held his Grandpa's hand as they walked through the hallway of the hospital. He had no idea why they were there, only that he didn't like the place. All the people were dressed in white or blue, somewhere walking around in the strangest looking shoes he'd ever seen.

Grandpa had dressed him rather quickly and Yugi noticed his face was different looking. He wouldn't smile or laugh or anything.

" Gwampa," Yugi said, looking up at his grandfather as they walked. " Why we 'ere?"

His Grandfather didn't answer, making Yugi scared a little.

Soon, a man in white approached them. Yugi recognized the suit, a doctor. He didn't like the doctor cause they always wanted to poke you with sharp, pointy things. He clutched his Grandpa's hand tighter and moved closer to him.

" Mr. Mutou?" asked the doctor.

" Yes, where are they?" asked his Grandpa.

" Follow me."

Yugi and his Grandpa were soon following the doctor to a closed room. He opened it and walked inside, with the two following him. Lying in the bed was a dark brown haired woman with her eyes closed.

" Mommy!" Yugi said excitedly. He let go of his grandfather's hand and rushed over to the side of the bed. He stood up on his tiptoes and saw his mother's eyes closed.

" Mommy, wake up." He said.

Two amethyst eyes opened and looked directly towards him. A smile formed across her face.

" Hello Yugi." She whispered.

Yugi smiled widely then frowned when he saw cuts on his mother's face.

" W'at 'ap'ened?" he asked pointing towards her face.

" It's nothing, dear." Teresa said. She closed her eyes as pain flashed through her body.

" Mommy? W'at wong?"

Teresa opened her eyes and looked at her son. He was so much like his father and she felt a tear in her eye as she thought about her husband.

Flashback…

" I hope Grandpa isn't having a hard time with Yugi." Said Zachary as he drove down the highway. It was his and Teresa's sixth wedding anniversary and Zachary took his wife to one of the places they used to go when they dated.

" I'm sure he's fine." Said Teresa. " You know how much Yugi loves going to visit Grandpa. I swear, when he gets older he'll want stay there more than at home."

Zachary laughed as he stopped at a red light. He leaned over and planted a kiss on his wife's cheek. " I love you so much." He whispered in her ear.

Teresa smiled and turned, their lips meeting. " And I love you." She said as she pulled away.

The light soon turned and Zachary let off the brake and gradually pressed the accelerator.

A black F-150 turned the corner, hitting the 100 mph mark. The driver took another heavy swig of whiskey before running through a red light.

" Surely Grandpa has put him to bed by now." Teresa said looking at the radio clock.

" I doubt it, knowing Yugi." Her husband answered.

" True," she said, smiling. " He can be pretty stubborn."

The black F-150's driver was totally wasted. Scattered in the floorboards were many empty whiskey bottles. He ran, yet another red light, but failed to notice the red civic. The truck hit the driver's side of the civic, causing it to flip over twice before coming to a stop in the other lane. Metal crumbled in the intense pressure and burnt rubber filled the air.

End of Flashback…

" Mommy?"

The tiny voice brought Teresa back to the present. She saw Grandpa talking with the doctor and saw pain in his face as he looked from her to the doctor.

" Mommy?" Yugi repeated, thinking she didn't hear him the first time. He saw tears in his mother's eyes, making his bottom lip tremble.

" Momma loves you very much, you know that right?" Teresa whispered, reaching out to stroke her son's cheek. He nodded, but he didn't like his mother was talking.

" I wove 'ou too, Mommy." Yugi replied.

Teresa withdrew her hand as another spasm of pain spread over her body.

Yugi suddenly felt himself being lifted off his feet and into his Grandpa's arms. He saw the same expression on his face his mother had. Teresa's eyes closed and let out a sigh before she went completely still.

The heart monitor beeping stopped the screen changed to straight line. The doctor, who was just outside, rushed in and called for nurses.

Solomon took Yugi out of the room to get out of the way. They went a little ways down the hall, away from the room, before Solomon found the waiting room and sat down in one of the chairs.

He glanced back at the room where they were trying to start Teresa's heart working again.

" Gwampa, w'at 'ap'ened to Mommy?" Yugi asked. " W'ere Daddy?"

" Yugi…"Solomon said. " They're gone."

The toddler cocked his head with a confused look on his face. " Gone? W'ere?" he asked.

How was he supposed to explain this to a three-year-old?

" They… Their dead." There, he said it. " You'll never see them again, at least not in this life."

Yugi's eyes filled with tears and he started whimpering at the news of him not being able to see his parents again. Whimpering soon turned into sobs with large tears flooding down his cheeks. He buried his face into his grandfather's shoulder, tears soaking his shirt.

Solomon held the boy close, trying to comfort him with little success. After all, how were you supposed to comfort someone who just lost the two people who meant everything?

" Shh… Calm down Yugi," Solomon said gently then paused when an idea struck him. " You can live with me, if you want."

Yugi lifted his tear-stained face away from his grandfather's shoulder and looked at the old man.

" W-will 'ou weave, too?" he asked with a sniff.

" No, I will never leave you."

" Pwomise?"

" I promise I will never leave you."

A small, faint smile appeared on the boy's face. It was hardly noticeable, but it was a smile. He then nodded and Solomon wiped away the tears on his face. " Otay, I 'tay with 'ou." Yugi whispered.

Solomon smiled and pulled the child into a hug. Yugi looked over his Grandfather's shoulder and saw a light coming from the room where his mother was. A figure soon appeared then another beside it. Yugi watched as they both smiled at one another then towards him. He returned the smile and watched as they both disappeared. Yugi stared at where the figures stood before understanding whom they were and that they would never really leave him.
