Evil Rises Again

" I Don't Want My Friends to Worry"

-

"Yugi, did I wake you?" Atem asked apologetically, but when Yugi didn't answer Atem the said, "Yugi is everything alright..... Aibou?" Sensing something was wrong Atem rushed to Yugi's side and shook him gently. Yugi's head rolled back and it was then that Atem noticed Yugi's eyes were glazed over in pain. Thinking quickly Atem ran to Yugi's mind room. Once inside he saw Zorc making a bad attempt to escape the barrier by slamming into it. Atem thought, "He can't break the seal, but slamming into it must cause Yugi pain...." Then Atem pulled out his Seishin Stone and willed the small stone to enforce the barrio. The stone granted the wish so that every time Zorc slammed into it light pierced his dark body causing him pain. After a few more slams Zorc quit. Satisfied, Atem walked back to his mind room, and found Yugi up and walking around. "Aibou you should be resting, are you alright? Does anything hurt?" Atem said as he rushed to Yugi's side. "I'm alright Yami that migraine in my head suddenly vanished. Did you do that?" "Yea I saw Zorc trying to break the barrier and so I enforced the barrio so he would stop. Do you still feel anything?" "I'm fine there's a dull ace in the back of my head but that's to be expected seeing as the evil one is in my mind room," then Yugi said changing the subject, "I see your mind room has changed quite drastically sense before." "Yes, because I have my memories back I no longer need that labyrinth to protect them anymore." The two just stood there for a while, letting the presence of the other comfort them after their long separation. Yugi then spoke quietly, "I've missed you Yami." Atem hugged Yugi as he replied, "I've missed you to Aibou" "Yami what happened after I fell asleep? I'm worrying everyone again aren't I?" seeing this was troubling for Yugi Atem told him that they were going to Israel and that while he wasn't in the hospital he would take over his body. Then he said "You're their best friend and you're my Aibou of course we're worried. We don't want to lose you." "I see... Yami can you give me back control of my body for a moment so I can try to soothe this worry for now?" Atem stared at Yugi's face worriedly saying, "Can you wait till we get your body hooked on a morphine device? Your mind may not be able to handle the pain and darkness coursing through your body... even with the barrier." "Please Yami, if I try talking to them while I'm hooked up then they'll worry even more then now. Please Yami....Just Please let me talk to them." Atem then said, "If I sense your mind weakening then I'll take back control okay Aibou?" "That's fine." As soon as Atem gave him control Yugi gasped in pain as he felt the full extent of his injuries. "You alright there Pharaoh?" Joey asked. He replied while grinding his teeth against the pain "It's me Joey I came out to talk to you guys." He started to sweat and Atem appeared next to him in spirit form saying, "Take it easy Yugi." "What do you want to tell us Yugi?" asked Duke. "I want you all to know that I'm grateful for coming with me but you don't have to worry about me. It will be fine, and even if I don't make it, I'll always be with you no matter what." Then Yugi cried out as a stab pierced his heart. "I'm taking back control now Yugi" Yugi nodded in agreement and found himself back in Atems mind room. Atem soon appeared next to Yugi. Then he said sarcastically, "Yes Yugi good way trying to calm their worries with your speech of IF I DON'T MAKE IT and the fact that they could see pain written all over your face, yep definitely calmed them." Yugi sighed and replied, "I guess you were right I should have waited until I got some morphine in my system." Atem then smiled gently at Yugi and said with his hand on Yugi's shoulder, "It's alright Aibou but it's okay to let them worry, it just means they care deeply for you." Atem then noticed exhaustion was in Yugi's eyes and said, "Go rest Yugi you'll need your strength." Yugi nodded and was about to walk to his bed when he collapsed. Atem sadly picked up Yugi's light form and placed him on the bed where he then proceeded to tuck him in. He then kissed Yugi's forehead like an adoring older brother, then left to join everyone else in the limo saying, "Yugi's exhausted but he doesn't want us to worry about him." "How can we not? He's our best friend!" exclaimed Tea. "That's what I told him." Atem finished.
