Yami, Atemu, Heba, and Mike were waiting in the waiting room of the hospital ER.

After getting to the hospital, Yugi had been taken right into surgery.

"Do you think that he'll be okay?" Heba asked.

"I don't know." Atemu replied.

"This hospital has some of the best surgeons and nurses here. He's in good hand." Mike said.

"Who are you, anyway?" Heba asked.

"My name is Mike Griffith. I actually work here. Yugi and I have been neighbors since Yugi moved in." Mika said.

"Mike Griffith? Are you the one that Yugi said he helped for some reason?" Heba asked.

"Yeah. My wife passed away only a few months after Yugi had moved next door. Yugi was a friend to me and offered me comfort when I was going through all that. He's a good friend to me. We've been friends since then." Mike said.

"Thanks for helping us. I'm not sure what might have happened otherwise." Yami said.

"I just hope that Yugi's going to be all right." Mike said.

"And I pray that those bitches get just what they deserve." Atemu growled.

"Trust me. I'll make sure they do." Yami said.

"Excuse me."

They turned to find an officer standing there.

"My name's Captain Hanirashi. I'm heading up this case." the man said.

"Hello, Captain. What can we do for you?" Atemu asked.

"I understand that three of you were there at the apartment." Hanirashi said.

"Yes. Heba was the only one that wasn't there." Yami said.

"Why weren't you there, sir?" Hanirashi asked.

"When we arrived at the apartment, we heard gunshots. I'm pregnant, so I was told to wait with the car. My brother was the one shot." Heba said.

"I see. Mika Hano and Tanisha Harmsworth are saying that Mr. Mutou was the one that attacked them." Hanirashi said.

"That is total lie. How can he attack them in his own apartment?" Yami asked angrily.

"His apartment. Ms. Harmsworth claims the apartment is hers." Hanirashi said.

"Captain, I'm sure that if you check with the apartment management, you will find that the apartment is leased to Yugi." Atemu said.

"Someone is checking that now. Ms. Hano says that he pulled the gun out on them as well." Hanirashi said.

"Captain, Yugi doesn't own a gun. He can't stand them. In fact, he says that if someone were to attack him, he would use one to the knives that he has in his kitchen. If Yugi did anything to them, it was in self defense." Yami said.

"I see. Well, we have both women under guard since we have no idea what really happened. I'm afraid the same thing will happen to Mr. Mutou when he gets out of surgery." Hanirashi said.

Another officer came up. "Captain, I have some information you're going to want." the officer said.

"What's that?" Hanirashi asked.

"There was gunshot residue on both of the women's hands, so they both fired the gun. And the gun is registered to Mika Hano although she has no license to carry a weapon." the officer said.

"Really. Well, that's one lie we've caught them in." Hanirashi said.

"Also, the apartment is leased to Yugi Mutou, not Tanisha Harmsworth." the officer continued.

"There's lie number two." Hanirashi said.

"Also, both women's fingers prints were on the gun, and there were no other fingerprints." the officer said.

"That means that Mr. Mutou never held the gun unless he wore gloves." Hanirashi said.

Yami was about to say something, but Heba beat him to it.

"Excuse me, but given the situation, do you think that Yugi would have had time to remove the gloves given that he was also shot." Heba said.

"Hmm. An excellent point." Hanirashi agreed.

"And if they came to his apartment with a gun, would that not mean that they probably went there to do him harm?' Heba asked.

"Another good point." Hanirashi said. He turned to the officer and said, "Anything else?"

"Not at the moment." the officer said.

Hanirashi nodded and turned back to the others. "I apologize for seeming suspicious of Mr. Mutou, but we have to cover everything." Hanirashi said.

"We understand." Atemu said.

"What's going to happen now?" Yami asked.

"Well, when Mr. Mutou wakes up, we'll talk to him about what happened. There will be officers to take your statements about what you knew happened. I would like to know what connection these women have to Mr. Mutou." Hanirashi said.

"The connection is to me." Yami said.

"You?" Hanirashi asked.

Yami nodded. "Tanisha Harmsworth is my ex-girlfriend. I broke up with her when I found her cheating on me and then I started dating Yugi. She has tried to get back with me and bugged me to the point that I had a restraining order out on her because she would call me a hundred times a day, and that's being serious. She was angry that Yugi was with me now. Mika Hano is an ex-employee at my restaurant." Yami said

"Your restaurant?" Hanirashi asked.

"Yes. I own the Sennen restaurant chain." Yami said.

"I see. Why was she fired?" Hanirashi asked.

"She was rude to customers, she slacked in her job, she was late twice a week, she didn't come in at least once a week, and she was a gold-digger. She tried to come onto me when she knew I was dating Yugi. I had her fired for her work ethic and work record, but she tried to sue me because she claimed I fired her because Yugi didn't like her. A judge told her to call off the lawsuit because there was nothing to support her claims." Yami said.

"Didn't she assault you and Yugi at your restaurant one night?" Atemu asked.

"Yeah." Yami replied.

"Any proof of that?" Hanirashi asked.

"Is a videotape of it proof?" Yami asked.

"Yes." Hanirashi said.

"Then I have proof. She was angry that she lost the lawsuit and must have wanted to get back at me. She must have decided to go after Yugi." Yami said.

"All right. The lawsuit and the restraining order will be a good starting point. I'll need to know when Mr. Mutou wakes up so we can talk to him about all this." Hanirashi said.

"All right." Yami said.

Hanirashi handed Yami a card with the number to contact him with before walking off.

"Can you believe those bitches? Did they now know that things like who owns a gun or the apartment cold be traced?" Atemu asked.

"Atemu, I don't think that either one of them are that smart. They probably thought that because they were women, they would get off since a man was involved." Yami said.

"You know, they are going to be in jail anyway." Mika said.

"Why's that?" Heba asked.

Mike smirked. "Because lying to the police is a crime, and that's just been proven." Mike said.

"I hope that they get what they deserve." Atemu said.

A doctor walked out and said, "Are you here for Yugi Mutou?"

"Yes. How is he?" Yami asked.

"I'm afraid that I can only tell that to a family member." the doctor said.

Yami felt his temper close to exploding.

Before that could happen, Heba said, "I am Heba Mutou. Yugi is my twin brother. Is he all right?"

"He's very lucky. The bullet missed all major organs, barely. The biggest concern was that he lost a lot of blood. It is under control now." the doctor said.

"Thanks, Ken." Mike said.

"No problem." Ken said.

"Can we see him?" Yami asked.

"Yes. He's in room 459." Ken said.

The group started off to the room Yugi was in.

Hanirashi had decided to go back and talk to Mika and Tanisha separately. He walked into Mika's room.

"Did you arrest that bastard yet?" Mika demanded.

"As far as I know, he is still in surgery." Hanirashi said.

"I hope he dies." Mika spat.

"Ms. Hano, perhaps you could explain to me why you lied to me." Hanirashi said.

"I did no such thing!" Mika said.

"Ms. Hano, the gun that was used was registered to you. You have gunshot residue on your hands, meaning you fired the gun. You don't have a license to carry a gun nor a concealed weapon." Hanirashi said.

Mika paled. "I-I was scared. I kept the gun with me." Mika said.

"Why did you go to Mr. Mutou's apartment?" Hanirashi asked.

Mika paled even more. "I-I-" Mika couldn't think of a good lie.

"Ms. Hano, you are being arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, and lying to the police. Let us hope that you are not going to have to be charged with attempted murder. It will be murder if Mr. Mutou dies." Hanirashi said. He left the room.

Mika was scared. She didn't think that they would have found out.

Tanisha was laying her bed when Hanirashi came in.

"Is that bastard under arrest yet?" Tanisha demanded.

"Mr. Mutou has not come out of surgery yet." Hanirashi said.

"Then he had better die" Tanisha growled.

"Ms. Harmsworth, why did you lie to me?" Hanirashi asked.

"I did not such thing!" Tanisha said indignantly.

"Ms. Harmsworth, we have proof that Yugi Mutou owned the apartment all of you were found in." Hanirashi said.

Tanisha gasped.

"Ms. Harmsworth, lying to the police is a crime. You are being charged with that. If you had any attacked Mr. Mutou, then you will be charged with attempted murder. If Mr. Mutou does not make it, you will be charged with murder." Hanirashi said.

"But the gun. He had the gun." Tanisha said, knowing the lie Mika had told.

"We have proof that Ms. Hano owned the gun. She did not have a permit to carry a gun or a concealed weapon, so she is already under arrest for those offences. You two brought the gun. It looks bad for you both." Hanirashi said. He left the room without another word.

Tanisha was now scared since the lies had been found out.

Yami, Atemu, and Heba sat in Yugi's room with him. Mike had left after seeing Yugi and asked that they let him know how Yugi was.

Yugi was still unconscious, but was stable.

"I hate that Yugi had to go through all of this." Heba said.

"Yeah. Let's just hope that Tanisha and Mika don't get away with what they have done." Atemu said.

"They won't. I'll make sure of it." Yami said.

"How?' Heba asked.

"The wonders of having money." Yami said.

There was a knock on the door, and Hanirashi walked in. "I hope that I'm not disturbing you." Hanirashi said.

"No. Is there anything wrong?" Atemu asked.

"No. There will be two officers posted out here just in case. I can tell there won't be a problem with Mr., Mutou trying to run, but I have to follow protocol." Hanirashi said.

"We understand." Yami said.

"What about the other two?" Atemu asked.

"There are officers outside their doors as well. Neither of them will be getting away. Both are being charged with lying to the police, and Mika Hano is being charged with being in possession of an illegal firearm and carrying a concealed weapon. There may be additional charges concerning Mr. Mutou's injuries. We haven't determined that yet." Hanirashi said.

"There was an officer that came in earlier. What were they doing?" Yami asked.

"Given there was a gun there, all three have to be checked for GSR as the two women were." Hanirashi said.

"You checked me, Yami, and Mike, too." Atemu said.

"You were in the apartment, so we had to. You three were already cleared. We're just trying to be thorough." Hanirashi said.

"We understand that." Atemu said.

"Good. Given the time of night, I will leave. I'll come back to talk to Mr. Mutou if he's woken up." Hanirashi said before he left.

"They won't find GSR on Yugi." Atemu said.

"I know. He didn't hold the gun, so he couldn't have had GSR on him." Heba said. He suddenly grimaced and put a hand on his stomach.

"Heba, are you okay?" Atemu asked worriedly.

"Fine. You're child just wants to give me a sore back." Heba said.

"Heba, why don't you ad Atemu go on back to the mansion? I'll stay here tonight." Yami said.

Heba was about to protest.

"Heba, he's right. You're pregnant, and it won't turn out good for you if you try to sleep here." Atemu said.

Heba sighed. "Fine. Just call if anything changes." Heba said.

"I will." Yami promised.

"Now come on, Heba." Atemu said.

Heba and Atemu left the hospital, leaning Yami alone with Yugi.

Yami took Yugi's hand in his and said, "Please be all right, Yugi. I can't lose you now." He felt the tears that had been threatening to fall all night fell down his cheeks as he buried his face against their intertwined hands.

'I'm not staying her. I have to get out.' Mika thought.

She knew that her plan had failed, and she had to leave before she was arrested.

Mika pulled the needles and IV's in her out before she made her way over toward the door. Her shoulder hurt from where she had been shot, but she knew that she had to get out or risk going to jail.

Mika opened the door and stepped out.

"Don't go any farther, Ms. Hano." a female voice said.

Mika turned and her eyes widened at seeing a male and female officer at her door.

"Ms. Hano, you are not to leave this room." the female officer said.

"You don't understand. The one who tried to kill me is here in the hospital." Mika said, trying to lie her way out.

"Ms. Hano, you have been charged with several crimes. We can't allow you to leave. Ms. Harmsworth and Mr. Mutou are being guarded as well. Now, go back in your room. We'll get a nurse to help you." the female said.

Mika had no choice except to go back in the room.

'No. I can't get out.' Mika thought.

Tanisha was having similar thoughts.

'There is no way that I am going to go to jail because of that damned bastard that stole my Yami.' Tanisha thought.

Tanisha got out of her bed despite the amount of pain in her shoulder and back and made her way outside.

"Stop, Ms. Harmsworth." a male voice said.

Tanisha turned and was shocked to find a male and female officer at the door.

"Ms. Harmsworth, you need to go back into you room." the male officer said.

"But the man who tried to kill me-" Tanisha started.

"Ms. Harmsworth, Yugi Mutou and Mika Hano are being guarded as well. No one leaves their rooms." the female said.

"But-" Tanisha started.

"You can be arrested if you leave. I suggest that you go back in your room, or we will force you to go if we have to." the male officer said.

Having no choice, Tanisha went back in her room.

'No. What can I do now? I can't leave, and I might go to jail because of that damned bastard!' Tanisha thought.

"Yes. I'm glad that you let me know, sergeant." Hanirashi said. He hung up the phone.

"What was that about?" the other man asked.

"The officers that are guarding Tanisha Harmsworth and Mika Hano were letting me know that both tried to leave the hospital tonight, Commissioner Giss." Hanirashi said.

Commissioner Giss of the Tokyo Police had been told about the entire ordeal. Giss was a friend of Yami's and had met Yugi.

"I see. That's a possible indication of guilt." Giss said.

"I agree. I just a few reports on Mr., Mutou. There was no GSR on his hands and since his fingerprints were not on the gun, so I'm sure that he never touched the gun." Hanirashi said.

"Both women had both, correct?" Giss asked.

"Yes. Mika Hano is already being charged with possession of an illegal firearm and carrying a concealed weapon. Both are being charged with lying to the police." Hanirashi said.

"Why were they charged with lying?" Giss asked.

"Tanisha claimed the apartment was hers, and Mika said that Yugi had the gun. We have proof that both were lies." Hanirashi said

"They'll go to jail regardless. Their escape attempts make them look rather guilty." Giss said.

"I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Sennen that these women went after Mr. Mutou to get back him." Hanirashi said.

"I agree. I would like to be there when you question Yugi." Giss said.

"Of course." Hanirashi said.

"I know Yugi, and I don't think that he would have attacked them unless it was in self defense. We'll find out alter." Giss said.

"I think you're right. The knife with blood on it had Tanisha's Harmsworth blood, and Yugi's fingerprints were on the knife along with Tanisha's fingerprints." Hanirashi said.

"There are a number of ways that it could have happened." Giss said.

"Yes. One being Tanisha had grabbed the knife and went at Mr. Mutou, Mr. Mutou got the knife from her, and then Mr. Mutou used on her." Hanirashi said.

"Of course, his fingerprints are there because he owns the knife, but he could have used it in his defense given they had a gun." Giss said.

"We'll find out later." Hanirashi said.

"Let's hope that we can close this soon. Yami has money and many powerful friends. You have to o everything by the book, or he could sue." Giss said.

"Do you think that he would do that?" Hanirashi asked.

"If he thinks that a single protocol was not followed, then yes, I think that he would because he loves Yugi a lot, and he would do it." Giss said.

"No procedure will be over looked. If Tanisha Harmsworth and Mika Hano did try to kill Yugi Mutou, they will both be arrested, but if he attacked them, then I have to arrest him." Hanirashi said.

"I know. I think that you'll find that Yugi Mutou was attacked, as I don't think he would attack another person for any reason at all except in self defense." Giss said.

"I hope so." Hanirashi said, not wanting to have Yami Sennen sue the department.
