Disclaimer: Yugi & Edward I don't own. Japanese ppls do! god those guys rock.I might make up a character in here. I'm still not sure. I've had a blast writing this too.

Stas: Oh I almost forgot, I'd like you to meet my pet, Staclara. She's a white Siberian Tiger, my pride and joy.

Staclara: (purrs)

Stas: I'm so prepared for flames! Isn't that right girl?

Staclara: (growls)

Stas: Let's get a move on now ! Read, read, and read!


"I hate sailing," pouted Ed. "I feel like I'm gonna spew my guts out." Yup, this little man definitely hates sailing. (And be warned, for if you called him "little man"in person, he'd probably rip yer head off). He was starting to get dizzy from the smell of salt, dead fish, seaweed, and was turning slightly green. It was really warm out too. "Well, my life can't get any worse,"suddenly, he couldn't hold it in any longer. Ed ran to the rail and leaned over it. It all happened so fast, the force and the pressure of it leaving him caused so much pain. He already barfed twice before this, so it was worse. He was trying to stand up. After making sure he was steady on his feet, Ed started walking to the other side of the ship, in hopes of finding a bucket to puke in when needed.

"I wish Al was here, it's a bummer he couldn't make it. It's kinda lonesome not having anyone around." Ed's sight was starting to blur. He sighed as he looked around. The worst part was there wasn't anyone around he could relate to. . . or so he thought. There was another boy on board, close to his age. He didn't have his sea legs either. The boys name was Yugi. He was on the other side of the ship, vomiting up a storm.

"Yugi, you should turn in for the day. You don't look so good." Yami was always concerned for his little hikari. He was standing by the railing, watching Yugi. Yugi's hair wasn't in its styled position like it usually was. Instead it was further down his shoulders. He was very pale and clinging to the railing bent forward, throwing-up.

"I can't Yami, not yet," Yugi replied, almost in a whisper. He was trying hard not to pass-out. He looked terribly pale and fatigue. At this point Ed was coming by and spotted only Yugi. (Yami isn't noticed.)

'Wow', thought Ed. 'This kid's like me when it comes to voyaging. It looks like he's awfully sick.' Suddenly, Yugi started losing focus and began to fall backwards. Ed noticed this (despite his vision fading too), and ran there as quick as he could to the boy. He made it just in time and caught him by locking his arms under Yugi's. Yami didn't have a chance to react to this. He was freaked out for a minute when he realized the other boy had a metal arm. Thoughts ran through his mind like. . . 'Omg omg what happened to that kid?' and 'is he for real?'

"Gottcha," exclaimed Ed. He realized the boy was pretty small so he hoisted him in his arms and brought him to a bench nearby. He used up most of his energy just to run and catch Yugi, so he was certain that he'd be on the bench for awhile. He sat down on it and set Yugi next to him. Ed had his real arm around Yugi to keep him steady. Yugi was starting to wake up.

"Are you alright?" Ed asked. He was starting to feel light-headed again. His eyes were slightly closed as well. Yugi looked at the boy next to him. He noticed he looked kinda tired, so that made him feel bad about what happened.

"Umm. . . yeah. Sorry about that," Yugi said in his shy voice. He didn't want to cause anymore trouble for him.

"Don't worry about it," Ed smiled sweetly, eyes still slightly closed. His grip on Yugi's shoulders weakened. "My names Edward, what's yours?" Now he was only griping Yugi so HE wouldn't start to sway.

"I'm Yugi." he answered. "Are YOU okay? You don't look so good either," said Yugi. He started to grasp Ed's left shoulder. Yugi's eyes filled with care. It was true though. Ed looked like he had a fever rising, and was starting to shiver. Yugi being very concerned, lifted his free hand to Ed's forehead. It was burning up. This time Ed closed his eyes all the way.

"I've been worse than this before. Don't worry, it's just the heat," he said softly. Soon he started to nod off.

"Don't fall asleep yet. Here I'll help you on your feet." Yugi didn't want his rescuer suffering outside in the blazing heat. "We'll go inside." He was starting to feel better. It was Ed who needed rest. Yugi took Ed's left arm and moved it on his own shoulders so he could help him up. Then he grabbed Ed's waist to keep him steady. Ed was fairly light and that made it a little easier for Yugi. Ed was trying to stay awake but found it almost impossible to. It got to the point were it was getting harder for him to breathe and walk.

"Were almost there, just keep going," urged Yugi. "We can go in my quarters. I'm not leaving you by yourself." his voice sounded far away to Ed.

"Tha-nks," said Ed faintly. He was starting to lose his grip on Yugi's shoulder again, and was still shivering. Once they got there, Yugi had to practically carry him to the bunk bed. When they made it there Ed fainted.

"Hmmnm"

"Hey Yami, He's coming to!" Ed was straining to open his eyes, and felt something cold on his forehead. Something was in his left hand as well.

When his eyes managed to open a crack, he realized his hand was in someone else's. He closed his eyes again and opened them to find the boy he saw not too long ago, only this time his hair was spiked. Ed was at loss for words. 'How can he be so friendly to me when I just met him?' he thought. Yugi just smiled down at him, appearing relieved.

"I'm glad your alert. I wasn't sure if you'd wake up," Yugi stated fondly. At this comment Ed couldn't help but smile. It wasn't a luminous one, but it was still there. His eyes glistened too. They were a unique shade of auburn. He looked into Yugi's immense iridescent violet eyes, wondering how they could be so sincere. Ed softly spoke up.

"Heh. I don't think alert's the right word to describe how I feel at the moment," just saying that made him feeble. "How long has it been?" he questioned. He was trying to sit up, but Yugi attempted to push him back down.

"Do you really want to know?" Ed hesitated before responding.

"Yes."

"It's been about three hours."

"Who's Yami?" Now Ed was interested in who Yugi addressed to. Even though Ed was well-worn, he refused to lean back against the pillow.

"I'll explain later," was all Yugi said. Suddenly, Ed started violently trembling. He felt like he was frozen inside and out. Yugi responded by clenching his hand and stroking Ed's hair. This puzzled Ed. (Yugi's not gay ! He's only doing that because, that's what HIS yami does when he's sick. So chill !) Ed didn't liked to sleep with people watching, so he tried to fight the sleep consuming him. He wasn't very successful. He was drifting off deeper into slumber. He was still trying to fight it though.

"Please don't resist it," implored Yugi's distant voice. "You need to recover properly, or you'll just get worse." he wouldn't let Ed push himself anymore than necessary. Eventually, Ed surrendered himself to the somnolence that crept over him. He fell back against the pillow.

"I don't trust him," stated Yami.

"Oh, shut-up Yami. You hardly trust anyone as it is. Why should I agree with you now, of all times?" Yugi didn't like it when Yami judged people by first appearance. It was so annoying sharing minds with him. He's always make a big deal out of people Yugi met. He was to exhausted to any further with him.

"You should go to bed."

"I will when I feel like it," said Yugi arrogantly to his yami. He did eventually fall forward on the bed. He was still holding Ed's hand. Yami wanted to move him to another bed, but decided against it. He looked relaxed and adapted to it.


Stands-tall-among-shadows: I'm not completely done with this yet. But let me know if it's a good start. Cus if it isn't I'll delete it.
