Yami's Regret: Chapter 20 Hospital
Inu: Hey! –rubs back of head- So it's been a while huh?
Heba: A while? It's been months! MONTHS!
Inu: Oi! I try! –sighs- Any way I know this chapter is short but its the best i got right now. I am dedicating this to two people. My Beta Iprie and my biffle that is in the hospital YamiSennen. Enjoy!
Yami held Yugi tightly in his arms as tears streamed down his cheeks, and Heba dialled 911 as fast as he could.
"Aibou, please stay with me. I just got you back, I can't lose you now!" Yami pulled Yugi closer to him and buried his face in Yugi's hair as he started to sob heavily. Heba nodded and closed the phone, before running over to Yami, with Atemu behind him.
"Yami, the paramedics are on their way. Don't worry, Yugi is going to be okay." Yami pulled back, looked down at his paler than normal hikari and nodded. Just as he did, they heard the wailing siren of the ambulance pull up to the garden and the clunk of the doors opening then slamming.
Ryou opened the gate for them and two large men rushed in with a stretcher. They hurried over to Yugi and Yami picked the youth up bridal style, gently placing him onto the white surface. The paramedics then rushed him back toward the awaiting ambulance.
Heba grabbed Yami's arm and shook his head when the distressed man tried to follow. "We're going to take the limo, and you're going to call Ai and see how Kairi is. I know you're worried about Yugi. We all are, but he's in good hands and you have a daughter to worry about also."
Yami sighed heavily and nodded his head. He knew Heba was right and he followed him, Atemu, Bakura, Ryou and the other's into the limo. Once they were all piled in, Heba handed Yami his cell. "I'm assuming you don't have Ai's number yet."
Yami shook his head, flipped the cell open and found Ai's number. Pressing it to his ear, he hit the call button. His heart hammered in his chest as he realized this was his first time doing anything involving his daughter without Yugi. A spark of pride bubbled in his chest before it fizzled out when he remember why he was doing this alone.
"Heba?"
Yami blinked when he heard Ai's voice and he sighed wearily.
"No, Ai. This is Yami."
"Oh. Hello, Yami. Is something wrong?"
Yami shook his head, running a hand through his hair, not knowing how to broach the subject.
"I called to see how Kairi is, and…I have some bad news." There was pause on the other end and some muffled voices that could have been Mizuki and Amem.
"Kairi is fine. We put her in bed; the wedding really tired her out…What's going on, Yami?"
Yami took a deep breath to calm his nerves before filling Ai in on what was going on.
"Yugi mistook my drink for his own, and he had a reaction to the wine. We're almost at the hospital now." There was a was a gasp and the clatter of what sounded like the phone being dropped.
"Yami?"
Yami looked up at Heba, who had his small hand out for the phone. "we're here. Go find out about Yugi, I'll calm my uncle down."
Yami barely finished nodding before he was clambering out of the limo and bolting across the concrete. He rushed inside, and up to the stationed nurse, bumping into a few people on his way. She smiled at him soothingly.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"I'm here for Yugi Mutou." He panted, fighting to keep his voice regular, but after the running and frantic worry, it wobbled. The nurse nodded and typed something into the computer. After a small pause, broken here and there by clicks and clunks of the keyboard, the young nurse gestured towards the waiting area.
"Someone will be out to see you shortly. Please take a seat."
He nodded, muttering a thanks and took a seat, just as the rest of the gang filed in through the door. The bee lined for him and Yami just blinked as he was bombarded by a storm of questions. His eye began to twitch as he lost patience, but before he could yell, someone else did.
"QUIET! You guys are in a hospital for crying out loud!"
Everyone in the group flinched and guiltily turned to face the two girls dressed in crisp white nurses uniforms. The one who'd raised her voice was short, only standing about 5.4" and had cropped, shoulder length hair. The blonde locks had been pulled into a comfortable ponytail. She wore a small square ID tag which read "INU".
The girl next to her had a myriad of black and scarlet locks which just brushed her shoulders when she moved. Her bangs were a striking blonde however. She wore an identical tag on her breast which was stamped with, "RAVEN".
She smiled at them all and flipped through the papers on her clipboard.
"You're all here to see Mr. Yugi Mutou?" They all nodded, shifting in anxiousness, eager to hear of how their little friend was faring.
"We're the nurses assigned to Yugi" Inu sighed but got no further as Yami beamed, standing up.
"Is he alright?"
Inu nodded and Raven read from the files on her clipboard.
"He had a severe anaphylactic allergic reaction to that wine, but thankfully we treated him in time. He's currently stable and is sleeping." Yami sighed shakily in relief, his knees almost giving out as a sense of calmness finally washed over him.
"Can we see him?" He asked hopefully. Inu looked at Raven, unsure about letting such a large and noisy group into her patient's room, but Raven nodded and turned back to the fidgeting Yami.
"Family only…And which one of you is Yami? He had called for you in his sleep." Both nurses watched with amusement as the named one's face lit up with a smitten grin. Inu pointed down one of the halls, smiling widely.
"He's in room 609." Yami bowed politely before jogging down the hall, with Heba and Atemu hot on his trail. The ruby eyed male stopped right outside Yugi's assigned door and took a deep breath, before letting it out and stepping into the room. He felt his heart stop and then plummet at all the wires connected to his Hikari, and the steady bleep of the heart monitor. Slinking further into the softly lit room, Yami pulled chair out, setting by the bed and sat down next to his love.
He reached out and took Yugi's hand in his and whispered;
"I'm here, Koi."
Yami felt his heart leap when Yugi's fingers twitched and ever so slightly tightened around his, and watched as the small teen turned towards him sleepily and mumbled out;
"Hmm…Koi…love you…"
There was a silence and Yami's eyes widened to nearly popping and he just started at the slumbering youth. The first time in years since he'd heard Yugi say those words, and the boy had to be unconscious to say them!
He felt Atemu sidle up behind him and the squeak of another chair as Heba settled on the other side of Yugi's bed. He cleared his throat, quiet so not to wake the patient.
"Atemu…" But before he could finish, Atemu was shaking his head, speaking up.
"It does not count if he say it while unconscious, Yami." He murmured apologetically, and Yami turned his head away, nodding in understanding. If Yugi was going to say it, then Yami would prefer Yugi to be awake to say it anyway. Atemu was right.
They sat in silence for a while, just watching Yugi lie there, before Heba suddenly got up and bolted from the room. Both of the older boys stared in confusion before Atemu left hurriedly to follow his husband.
He wandered down the garish white halls until he one of the nurses from before, sorting through some items on a steel trolley. "Excuse me, Nurse Raven?" She looked up and smiled, recognizing the man. "Can I help you, sir?" Atemu nodded.
"Did you see a boy run through here? He looks similar to me, but shorter." He clarified. Raven blinked and nodded, pointing towards the bathroom at the end of the hall.
"He's in there. Poor thing didn't look to well. If you'd like, I can get him a room and give him a check-up?"
Atemu nodded and excused himself, reaching the bathroom door and giving a soft knock.
"Habibi, are you alright?" He heard the toilet flush and the rustle of movement, before the door unlocked and Atemu stepped back and Heba walked out.
"I-I think so."
Atemu shook his head and wrapped one arm around Heba's waist, and the other under his knees before scooping Heba up into his arms. Heba hook his arms around his tanned love's shoulders, tucking his head under Atemu's chin. Atemu Smiled sweetly and approached Raven who had been waiting patiently. She motioned for him to follow her.
Meanwhile, Yami had moved from his place on the uncomfortable chair and had laid down next to Yugi. Yugi turned in his sleep, snuggling into Yami who in turn snaked his arms around his Hikari's waist to pull him even closer. He buried his face into Yugi's soft hair and smiled at the familiar scent of Yugi's favourite shampoo. "I love you, my Hikari."
