Yugi slowly walked up the stairs that lead towards the school. His face flushed, his head was pounding (even though he'd had some aspirin.) His heart was pounding against his chest. He felt like a train wreck, he looked like one to. His hair was soaked from the sweat pouring off his head.

Joey was stood outside the school gates. As usual a dopey grin on his face.

Yugi turned the corner ever so sluggishly. His eyes became fixed on Joey. Joey slowly turned to face Yugi. Joey's face faulted. What he saw was the energetic kid, which he had developed such a strong friendship with. It looked like he was in pain at the very thought of blinking. It was unnerving. All the time Joey had known him nothing could make him look like he had a headache. He looked down at his small friend.

Yugi slowly stumbled towards him. Stopping briefly to catch his breath. Then he continued towards him. Feeling as if his feet were being pulled out from under him.
