Chapter 19: Yugi's Story

Yami woke up the next morning with a very stiff back. 'I hate sleeping hospitals.' Yami thought. He looked over and saw that Yugi was still asleep. He reached out and started to stroke Yugi's hair. "Please wake up soon, little one." Yami murmured.

There was a low groan.

"Yugi! Are you awake?" Yami asked urgently.

"Yami, not again." Yugi murmured.

Yami burst into laughter. "Yugi, I don't think that we'll be making love for a quite a while." Yami said.

Yugi opened tired eyes and looked up at Yami. It took Yugi a moment, but Yugi remembered what happened. "Oh, god. Yami!" Yugi said as tears filled eyes.

"Hey. It's okay, Yugi." Yami said, wrapping his arms around Yugi.

"They tried to kill me." Yugi said.

"I know, Yugi. They won't get away with it." Yami said.

"Did they get away?" Yugi asked.

"No. Given their injuries, they were brought here for treatment, too. They're being guarded by the police." Yami said.

"Oh. Okay." Yugi said, calming down.

"Is everything all right?"

Yami and Yugi turned to find Ken standing in the room.

"Hi, Dr. Hinari." Yami said.

"I'm glad to see that you're awake, Yugi. You gave us all quite a scare." Ken said.

"Uh, who are you?" Yugi asked.

Ken smiled. "My name is Ken Hinari. I'm the surgeon who operated on you yesterday." Ken said.

"Oh. Then I think that I owe you a big thank you." Yugi said.

Ken smiled. "Glad that I could help. Mr. Sennen, if you would allow me a few moments to examine him." Ken said.

"Sure thing." Yami said. He turned to Yugi and said, "I'll be right outside, Yugi."

Yugi nodded.

Yami kissed Yugi on the forehead before he left the room.

"All right. Let's see how you're doing." Ken said, starting the examination.

"Is anything wrong?" one of the officers asked.

"No. Yugi is awake and the doctor wants to check over his injuries." Yami answered.

"Okay. I'd better call the captain and let him know." the other officer said and walked away.

Yami sighed.

The officer took it the wrong way and said, "Sir, we have to let the captain know that Mr. Mutou is awake so that he can question him about what happened."

Yami blinked. "Oh! No. It wasn't that. I'm just relieved that he's awake. I saw him at that apartment. I'm just glad that he's awake. I was worried that he wouldn't wake up." Yami explained.

"Oh. Sorry. I thought you were sighing in frustration." the officer said.

"No. I know they have to question him, and the sooner they do that, the better." Yami said.

The officer nodded in understanding.

Ken finished his examination. "Well, given what you went through, you're doing just fine." Ken said.

"I wish I felt like it." Yugi muttered.

Ken smiled. "I know that you might not feel like you are lucky, but you really are. The bullet missed all your vitals, so the only major concern was the blood loss." Ken said.
