A certain Yuma Tsukimo was racing to get home "Ahh! I'm soaked! Grandma's gonna kill me for getting the house wet!" Yuma sulked as he ran home from school.
"What is this stuff?" Astral inquired.
"It's rain! Stuff that comes from clouds" replied Yuma who was still sulking.
"Observation #22 clouds make rain" Astral made a mental note out loud.
"STOP MAKING OBSERVATIONS FOR FIVE WHOLE MINUTES!" Yuma yelled miffed by the alien spirit.
"Yuma what is that?" Astral asked an annoyed Yuma.
"What is it now?" Yuma sighed and turned around looking for the source of Astral's curiosity.
"It looks as if there is a person unconscious on the ground" Astral explained as he pointed.
Yuma looked toward where the spirit was pointing and sure enough there was a dark figure lying unconscious face first on the ground. Yuma immediately started to run toward the figure "Are you ok?" He called. Something to Yuma about this person felt familiar. Everything was unrecognizable though, the man's shirt was gone and showed bloody welts crisscrossing the man's back. There were several rips in the man's pants. Only the man's spiky blonde hair was left untouched and even that was matted in blood. Yuma gasped as the pieces fell together "Kaito?!"
"I believe he is injured" Astral states after observing the pool of blood the teenager was lying in. This was slowly being washed away by the steadily pouring of the rain.
"You think?" Yuma asked sarcastically.
Yuma knelt down and shook Kaito "Hey wake up!" All he got in response was a moan of pain.
"Hey Yuma!" Kotori called as she and Tetsuo ran over to him.
"Hey man! What are you doin? It's pouring out!" Tetsuo yelled.
When they got there they saw who Yuma was kneeling next to "Isn't that Kaito? He looks hurt!" Kotori asked.
"Meh who cares" Tetsuo scoffed.
Yuma shook his head in disbelief "Was he beaten up or something?"
Kotori inquired "What should we do? We can't leave him here"
"I don't see why we should help him. He wouldn't help us" Tetsuo complained.
"Yah, but he's hurt" Kotori scolded Tetsuo as she knelt down next to Kaito, and slowly rolled him onto his back and gently propped his head on her leg. Much to Astral's astonishment the number hunter that he feared so much yelped in pain and then began to whimper. "Shh It's ok" Kotori tried to comfort him "Yuma, see what's wrong"
Yuma scooted over next to Kaito on Kotori's. He sucked in a sharp breath when he saw what was wrong. "Kotori-" he was cut off by Kaito's coughing fit that wracked his pitifully weak body. When he was done a trickle of blood flowed out the side of his mouth marring his porcelain skin with the stain of fading life.
Only known to Kotori, Kaito had started to tremble in her arms. Whether it was in fear or pain she didn't know "Yuma! Tell me what's wrong with him!" She commands.
Yuma tried to speak but ended up gagging. Tetsuo walked over expecting nothing serious, but even he was disturbed "Man, you're right! He does need help! There's a large piece of glass sticking through his stomach"
Kotori was expecting something bad but this was horrible. She felt around his shirtless back looking to see if the glass went all the way through him. She felt something, and against her better judgment she tried to move whatever it was that she felt. They all almost hurled their lunch when the glass visible from their angle shifted slightly. Kaito trembled even more violently and let out another yelp of pain. "I-I think it went through him" she spoke with her voice quivering. Kaito had gone back to whimpering.
"Kaito-sama!" They heard someone call.
"Orbital?!" Kotori and Yuma asked each other.
The robot turned around the corner and saw them "what are you doing here?" Orbital asked. Yuma got up and walked over to the robot about to ask him what he knew about Kaito. Once Orbital noticed Kaito his head raised as if to get a better look at the limp body of his master "Oh-no! It's never this bad!" Orbital quickly wheeled past Yuma and over to the broken form of Kaito.
"Hey! Whatdaya mean by 'Never this bad' ?" Yuma asked suspiciously.
The robot ignored them and took up his new hobby of trying to wake Kaito "Kaito-sama!"
"Answer him Orbital or I will dismantle you myself" Kotori glared at the little robot.
"Eeep! Alright! Sheesh you guys are scarier than Kaito-sama!" he mumbled under his breath.
"Speaking of Kaito…" Yuma pushed.
"Dr. Faker wasn't happy that Kaito-sama lost all his numbers to Tron so he beat him" Orbital explained looking very uncomfortable for a robot.
"There's a piece of glass through his stomach! How did that happen?" Kotori asked suddenly wary of the answer to the question.
Orbital spoke "Dr. Faker threw him through a window on the fifth floor. I'm surprised that's the extent of his injuries"
"Why doesn't he fight back?" Yuma asked in complete disbelief by this point. Kaito was a strong person. Why would he just take something like that?
"Dr. Faker threatens Haruto-sama" everyone gasped at the robots explanation.
"Yuma! I think he's getting worse!" Kotori yelled urgently. Kaito whimpered before hacking up a river of blood. His breathes were uneven and he was now visibly shaking.
"Oh my god! Just hang on Kaito!" Yuma ran over to where his friends were sitting next to his fallen rival "we need to get him to a hospital!" He shakily spoke as he called the hospital with his D-Gazer.
Five minutes later an ambulance arrived. While they were loading Kaito into the ambulance the shaken teenagers were questioned "How did you find him?" A doctor asked them.
"I was running home from school and found him" Yuma deliberately didn't mention Astral while explaining.
"Do you know this young man?" The doctor asked.
Yuma nodded his head "Yah we're his friends"
After a short conversation the paramedics allowed the three teenagers to ride in the ambulance to the hospital with Kaito.
-Heart Land-
"Dr. Faker, we have reports that Kaito is still alive" a guard spoke after receiving word from Heartland's hospital.
"That failure! He lost all of his number cards to that pathetic Tron! Leave him there! He can die there all alone for all I care" Dr. Faker scoffed.
The guard nodded his head "Yes sir!"
"Now all I need to do is gather some ancient Egyptian spirits, all I have to do is dig deeper into Haruto's power and bring them to this time line!" Dr. Faker laughed manically.
-Domino City (past) -
"What's the capitol of New York?" Bakura grinned thinking he had finally outsmarted his older sister.
"That's easy! It's obviously Albany!" Chaos smirked as Bakura growled. She picked it up and threw it at Bakura's head. She pumped her fists in victory when she hit him square in the face.
Atem stomped up the stairs and into the attic "What are you tomb robbers doing up here?" His eyes widened in shock when he saw Yugi, Tristan, Tea, Joey, Mokuba, Kaiba, Ryou, Zana, and Duke watching Malik, Chaos, and Bakura playing their little "game".
"It's called Tea Cup Challenge" Yugi explained "They ask a question and if that person can answer it right you get to hit your opponent with teacups but if you answer wrong the other person gets to throw some at you"
"Bakura what are the seven continents?" Malik asked Bakura. Who visibly sweatdropped.
"Uhh… Asia, Africa, North America, South America, West America, East America, and Africa" the tomb robber answered hopefully.
"Wrong!" Malik crowed and then chuckled "Teacup time!"
Bakura yelped and attempted to dodge the flying teacup but failed and it hit him in the chest.
"Alright, Malik what country has a great wall?" Chaos asked angelically.
"Uhhh… Ummm… America?" He asked hopefully.
"WRONG! FLYING TEACUP TIME!" Chaos grinned manically and chucked a teacup at Malik who was trying to scramble away. It hit him in the back.
"Guys! I sense something from the shadows!" Atem spoke in surprise.
"There's a portal opening up?" Chaos asked questioningly.
"You mean that portal?" Duke asked as he pointed to the portal that had just appeared behind them as he flung his ponytail behind his head.
A squirrel runs into the portal "OH MY GOSH! NOT STEVE!" Zana screamed in despair as the squirrel she had named ran into the portal "STEEEEEEVVVVVVEEEEE!" As she raced into the portal after the squirrel. That somehow set off a chain of events and the whole group tumbled into the portal.
-Hospital (present) -
Yuma, Kotori, Tetsuo, and Orbital were waiting outside of Kaito's room "Do you think Kaito's gonna be ok?" Yuma asked concerned.
"I dunno he looked to be in pretty bad shape" Tetsuo commented.
Kotori was watching the TV with Astral. "Yuma I believe you will find this very interesting"Yuma commented on the news.
"Huh? Ok…" Yuma turned toward the TV.
/T.V./
'We interrupt your usual news with even more important news! I'm Tracie and we are here interviewing people that were reported dead years ago" Abubbly young female spoke.
"Uh… Why are you pointing a camera at me?" A young boy with long white hair asked confused.
"What do you have to comment on being alive?" Tracie asked the group.
"HAVE YOU SEEN STEVE?" A female with brown hair to her shoulders ran by screaming.
Everyone on camera sweat dropped except for Tracie "uh…"
"May I inquire who this Steve is?" Tracie asked.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP IN THAT TREE STEVE?!" The girl with brown hair screamed up at a tree.
"Uh… Zana it's a squirrel. They live in trees" another white haired teenager berated the girl.
"You're just jealous you don't have a Steve Bakura!" Zana stuck her tongue out at Bakura.
"What are your comments on life?" Tracie asked a little miffed by the ancient tomb robbers.
"Life's overrated" Another girl with brown hair stated boredly.
Zana was currently climbing the tree to get to the squirrel "I WILL SAVE YOU STEVE!"
"Um… we should probably go now" The white haired boy spoke up shyly. Bakura nodded his head in agreement.
"OMG! I'M STUCK!" Zana called from the top of the tree. Everybody fell over anime style "THAT'S SO COOL! I THOUGHT THEY ONLY DID THAT IN MOVIES!"
/End Of T.V./
They were all gaping at the screen "What the heck was wrong with all their hair?" Yuma asked.
"What is a squirrel?" Astral asked.
"Uh… yah know rat-like with a fluffy tail" Yuma poorly explained.
"That was Yugi Moto! The king of Games! I thought he died years ago!" Tetsuo commented.
"Uhhhh…" Yuma looked torn between staying with Kaito or going to see why Yugi was still alive.
"Go on" Kototri smiled "I'll call you if anything changes"
Yuma nodded his head gratefully and ran off with Tetsuo following close behind.
