Last chapter. I have some good news at the bottom so be sure to check it out. I do not own Yugioh, enjoy!

Chapter 9

"Yugi…Yugi…I think he's coming around…Yugi!" someone was calling his name.

Yugi's eyes fluttered open as he woke up. There was a bright light overhead that he wasn't particularly fond of at the moment. Yugi looked around and saw Malik on one side of him and Ryou on the other. Yugi sprung up and enveloped him in a hug.

"RYOU! You're alive, but how? Wait, does this mean Malik's dead?" Yugi said looking between the two.

"Well, I sure hope I'm alive." Ryou said hugging him back.

"Yug' are you feeling okay? Jou didn't hit you too hard did he?" Malik asked feeling his forehead.

"Hit me with what?" Yugi asked confused letting go of Ryou.

"The ball." Ryou said.

"I mean Atem was even nice enough to carry you up here. I'm telling you Yugi, he really-." Malik started to say.

"WHAT?! But I killed myself just to get away from him!" Yugi yelled grabbing Malik by the front of his shirt with both hands and pulling him close.

"Yugi, what are you talking about?" Malik asked looking at him in a very concerned way.

Yugi took in his surroundings for the first time since waking up. He instantly felt like a fool, he was in the infirmary at school. It all came back to him after that, Gym, dodge ball, ball, head, pain…nightmare.

"Nothing, bad dream." Yugi said smoothing out his shirt.

"Oh, Mr. Mutou your up. Well, its dinnertime and I'd say you could do with some food, so off you go." Nurse Yoru said walking into the room.

"Thanks, Nurse Yoru." Yugi said climbing out of the bed and grabbing his bag. He walked out of the infirmary with Ryou and Malik towards the cafeteria. As he was walking out the door he saw a head of brown hair scurry around the corner. Great, now it was going to be all over the school grounds. Just what he needed, Atem knowing he had dreamt about him.

Yugi walked into the cafeteria and grabbed a tray and put a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake on it. Coach would kill him if he found out what he was eating, but he didn't care at the moment. Yugi would still be the fastest runner, no matter what he ate before the practice run right after dinner. Yugi bit into his cheeseburger as a shadow loomed over him.

"Hey, baby, I heard you dreamt about me. You know, I think you should take that as a sign." Atem whispered in his ear while wrapping his arms around him.

"Well, if you want to take me killing myself just to get away from you as a sign, okay, I'll take it." Yugi said turning to him his face mere millimeters away from his. Yugi's and Atem's friends laughed at the comment as Atem slid his arms off of Yugi.

"I'll see you around, Mutou." Atem said sulkily as he walked away his laughing friends following him

"Point for you." Malik said putting his hand up.

"Oh yeah!" Yugi said smacking it with his own.

"I still think you should thank him Yugi." Ryou said quietly.

"Why?" Yugi asked turning to his shy friend.

"Because he carried you up to the infirmary." Ryou said in that same quiet voice.

"All right, I'll thank him on my way to practice." Yugi said glancing at Atem's table on the other side of the cafeteria behind him.

"Okay." Ryou said as if he approved.

"You're so polite Ryou, how exactly did you end up as friends with us?" Malik asked as he took a bite out of his hamburger.

"Someone had to keep the two of you in line. Unfortunately, I was voted for most for the position." Ryou said teasingly.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Malik said back just as teasingly.

"I gotta go. I'll see you back at the dorm!" Yugi said laughing stuffing the last of his fries in this mouth and washing them down with the shake. Yugi walked over to Atem's table and stopped right behind him.

"Hey, Kodai!" Yugi said. Atem turned around slowly, almost as if he didn't believe his ears.

"You're coming to harass me at my table now? This is new. Finally realized you can have what you've always wanted?" Atem asked leaning back against the table like he was some kind of King.

"I guess I have. I've really been wanting…some fries!" Yugi said leaning in towards Atem and at the last second reaching around him and stealing some of his fries.

"What do you want, Mutou?" Atem asked rolling his eyes as he watched Yugi chew and swallow his fries.

"I wanted to thank you for carrying me up to the infirmary. So, thank you." Yugi said smiling cheerfully at him.

"You're welcome." He said slightly surprised before turning to his friends, grinning and pointing at him. Yugi just rolled his eyes and walked away. He had taken two steps when he heard Marik say something behind him.

"Shouldn't look away." He said sounding as if he was grinning.

"Shut up." Atem replied.

Yugi grinned to himself as he made his way down to the track field. He ended up running into two others from his track team on the way down, Tony Blake and Michael Johnson. They talked about different things until Yugi's dream thing came up. Yugi summed up what the dream was about and by the time he was done they were lining up to make their first sprint across the track. It was just a warm up, but it was good exercise too.

"Wow, you must have been pretty desperate to kill yourself, Yugi." Tony said as he took his form.

"No, you don't have to be desperate. You just have to be broken, completely shattered." Yugi said back thoughtfully.

The coach blew his whistle, and they took off running.
