Sarusa curled up in the corner in fetal position. Tears of pain and sorrow ran down her face. She'd missed school that day. She just couldn't go. Too many memories. There she sat, covered in wounds. She had deep cuts in her arms and legs, a broken left arm, and scratches and bruised all over her face. Occasionally she would begin intensely bleeding in her many wounds, and doctors didn't know why.

The door banged closed downstairs. Hashi and Banira, the other two in the triplet set, had retuned home from school. They progressed upstairs and Banira banged on the door. "Carrot-Top! Are you going to let us in? It's our room, too."

No answer.

"Fireball," Hashi addressed, "Let us in please? We just want to talk to you. We also don't want to just come in without permission. Please."

"Please," They could here the pleading and tears in her voice, "Come in, please!"

Without hesitation Banira opened the door, and the two rushed over to their poor sister.

Sarusa put a hand on one of her arm injuries. Everything throbbed in pain.

"Now, come on, you're gonna have-ta return to school soon," Banira stated, "If you miss too much, you'll drown in schoolwork."

"Blondie's right. Yes, we're aware of how much of a tragedy this is, but Copper, you gotta move past this a bit. It's what Jonouchi would want for you."

The reason Tenshi Sarusa was so upset, the reason causing her utter despair, all started on a camping trip between the friends Yugi, Honda, Jounouchi, Anzu, Hashi, and of course herself. She and Jonouchi were dating and decided to have some alone time together. She had heard wolves howling, but thought nothing of it. They stopped nearby some shrubbery and trees because something was rustling. Wolves. The wolves attacked both of them viciously, but Jonouchi took a worse mauling. He died shortly after arriving to the nearest hospital.

"It's my utter fault!" cried Sarusa, "If I would've warned him about the wolves, none of this would've happened!" Her wounds throbbed again.

"Flame, it's not! You thought they were in the distance and you didn't know! You did all you could for Jonouchi, you dragged him to the hospital, despite your leg wounds. If you hadn't and had just sat there, both of you would've died for sure."

"Why'd it have to be him? Why'd he have to die and not me? It's my fault, dammit!"

Her sisters couldn't sand to see her in so much pain.

Then Sarusa started internally and externally bleeding again. She saw the room get dizzy and fainted. The last thing she heard was Banira scream, "Call the Hospital!"

…

Sarusa dreamt in the hospital. She dreamt she saw Jonouchi again.

"Jonouchi! You're here!" She cried.

He turned and smiled and hugged his love.

"Jonouchi, I'm sorry for…getting you killed!"

He laughed, "What're you talking about? It's not your fault!"

Sarusa looked up at him.

"And besides, I'm not dead. I'm right by your side."

Sarusa's eyes snapped open and she examined the room. Midnight…and it was raining outside. The room was extremely dark. Only the thunder outside lit the room. She pulled up the covers and turned on the lamp next to the bed. Her wounds were all patched up. The only light in the room was the small lamp, so she couldn't see much. Unusually, there was a sharp pain in her neck. She put her hand there and felt something that felt like two vertically parallel holes. From surgery? There was nothing wrong with her neck, was there? She brought her hand back to discover blood, on her fingertips. "What the hell…." She whispered. Her pillow was stained with blood where her neck was. She just assumed it was from surgery, and went back to sleep, cutting off the lamp. "Odd…" she whispered, "Very, very odd…"

…

The following morning she woke up to find something even odder. Something green caught her eye. She turned and saw Jonouchi's jacket on the chair next to her bed. She screamed. That was the jacket he died in.

The nurse and Sarusa's sister's came rushing in. "What's wrong Ms. Tenshi?" the nurse asked.

"When the hell did that get there?" She screamed, pointing to the jacket.

"Isn't that the jacket Jonouchi was wearing when he died?" Hashi asked aloud.

The nurse looked creeped out. "The last time we checked on you was about 9:00 last night…then we turned out the light to let you sleep. It wasn't there."

"That means; whoever was wearing that jacket came in while you were sleeping and left it there." Banira explained.

"You know what's even weirder…?" Hashi asked picking up the jacket, "It's spotless, except for a couple new-looking bloodstains."

"Right! When Jonouchi died, he jacket was shredded!" Sarusa deciphered.

"Then how did it get here?" Banira asked.

"Maybe it's someone else's?" The nurse suggested.

"Nope. It has Jonouchi's name in it." Hashi said showing them where the blonde wrote his name on the tag.

"Ms. Tenshi! Your neck!" the nurse screamed. She saw the holes.

"I was confused on where they came from…" Sarusa said, "And when I touched them, they bled."

The doctors examined the holes.

"There's no logical reason to explain any of this!" Sarusa screamed when they were finished.

"There are many strange things about your holes, Ms. Tenshi." Dr. Akako stated, "Your blood has turned into that of poisonous venom. It can only effect a human if it is consumed."

Her sisters started at her.

"Is…Is this some kind of a joke?"

"Not at all, ma'am. We found the same kind of venom on the jacket, claimed to belong to your lover."

"Wait…what?"

"We don't know what's going on…but when we do, we'll give you a call. You are free to leave."

Sarusa changed from her gown to the clothes she wore when she came. Said bye to the doctors, and left with her sisters.

…

"Ouch!" Sarusa cried from her room.

"What's wrong?" Hashi asked, poking her head in the door.

Banira was at KaibaCorp, working, and Hashi was baking cupcakes, which were just about done.

Sarusa was trying to reorganize her deck at her desk, but her mouth was bothering her. She held her jaw in pain. "My teeth…" She said, "They're throbbing." She was still bandaged from the hospital two days ago.

"Didn't you have pain yesterday, too?"

"Yeah…I don't know what's going on. Any word from the hospital yet?"

"They're still analyzing your freaky blood. They haven't found anything yet."

"Hn…"

"Maybe you should go to the dentist."

"NO!" Sarusa screamed, "I HATE the dentist!"

"Well, maybe he can fix your pains."

Sarusa looked at Jonouchi's jacket, which hung on a chair in the corner, "Fine…something absurd is going on…"
