Chapter 11 ~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

Yugi watched as Akefia dragged the body out before looking
back at Atemu who was slowly moving away. Yugi moved so he was laying over the
edge of the bed and grabbed onto the tip of his tail as Atemu left and tried to
stop him. Atemu felt him grab hold of his tail and looked around at him before
turning and going back over. Yugi seeing him coming back over let go of his
tail and sat up.

“What is it?”

“Let me have a look at the wounds.” Atemu moved his tail so
the first came up for Yugi to look at. “Atemu the bullet is still in there. Do
you have something I can use to get rid of it?”

”No but Akefia might.”

“Can you get him in here somehow?”

Atemu nodded and lifted the end of his tail and slammed it
to the ground and did it a few more times. After a minute
Akefia came in as a snake. You could see part of his stomach was swollen
and Yugi didn’t want to know why.

“What? I thought you
said you didn’t need me.”

“Do you have something
Yugi can use to get the bullets out with?”

“Yeah. I’ll go get it.”

After a few minutes Akefia came back and was holding a pair
of tweezers with his tail. Yugi and Yami noticed the others behind him and
stood near the entrance watching. Akefia handed it to Yugi before he wrapped
around Atemu and held him steady.

Yugi smiled and moved closer and placed his hand next to the
wound he was focussing on. Yugi slowly slid the tweezers in and followed the
line till he touched something hard and carefully grabbed hold of it and pulled
it out, Atemu’s body twitched. Yugi smiled and placed it in Yami’s hand at his
request to hold it.

Akefia moved off Atemu before wrapping back around him when
Atemu moved the next wound to Yugi. Yugi did the same he did with the last but
this time Atemu tensed when he hit something causing him to move and Yugi jump
slightly and looked towards Akefia who nodded for him to continued. Yugi soon
found the bullet and pulled it out and Akefia unwrapped from Atemu and backed off.

“Thankyou Yugi.”

“You’re welcome.”

Atemu slowly slithered away and onto the bed of leaves.
Akefia followed after and sat next to him talking quietly with him for a few
minutes before, moving back over to them.

“He’s fine. Just let
him rest. The wounds will heal soon. I’ll be heading out now if you don’t need
anything.”

“No we’ll be fine.” Yugi said.

“Just where can we put these and what can we clean our hands
with.” Yami asked.

Akefia pulled two towels from a cupboard to them both and
held out a cup for the bullets. Once given to him he left and Bakura, Ryou, Marik
and Malik followed after him. Both wiped their hands of blood and Yugi crawled
back over to Yami and lay down in his arms.

“Hey Yami do you think we should offer for
them to come back with us?” Yugi whispered softly to him so Atemu didn’t
hear.

“Yeah maybe but how do we get them back to Japan?”

“Call Seto I’m sure he’ll organize something.”

“Alright we can try let’s just get
some sleep.”

Yugi nodded and kissed him on the cheek softly before laying
his head on his chest and fell asleep. Yami looked over at Atemu who was curled
up and his head hidden from them before falling asleep.

Bakura wrapped his arm around Ryou as they headed back to
Akefia’s chamber. Marik was trying to keep Malik calm as they followed after
Akefia whose stomach was very swollen which was what Malik was freaking out
about. Akefia moved over to the bed of leaves and curled up there as best he
could with his blotted stomach. Marik sat Malik on the bed and had him look
away from Akefia and to him.

“Malik calm down. You need to just relax alright. Nothing is
going to happen to any of us ok?” Malik nodded. “Good. Now how about you lie
down and get some sleep. We’ll all talk in the morning.”

Malik nodded and lay down next to Marik who smiled and ran
his hand through his hair. Marik looked over to Akefia to see him curled up on
the bed of leaves.

“Akefia?”

Akefia looked up at him.
“Yeah?”

“Is Atemu ok?”

“Yeah he’ll be fine. It’s not too bad. He’s had worse and so
have I.”

“Alright. Goodnight.”

Marik followed Malik and lay down and he wrapped his arms
around his waist. Ryou lay down next to Malik and Bakura lay down behind him.
Malik smiled at Ryou and Ryou wrapped his arms around Malik and held him
gently.

“It’s alright Malik. You will get use to it. Yugi and I did
you can too.”

Malik smiled weakly at the thought not believing what Ryou
said. They all soon fell asleep and Akefia looked across at them before going
to sleep.
