The Prequil

Yugi's feet lightly padded across the floor as he quietly scrambled to Yami's room, grinning, he slowly opened the door snuck up to the sleeping pharaoh.

"HehHehHeh..." Yugi hopped onto the bed and right onto Yami's stomach, awakening him instantly.

"Maughnawdabach....(my word when I wake up.).....huh?.....Yugi?....Is the world about to end?....."

"*Snicker Snicker * No."

"Am I needed in Egypt?...loyal minion...."

/Yami was dreaming about ruling the world again......./

"No."

"Did Anzu call?"

/You wish..../

"No."

"Do I own someone money again?"

/Owe....money...Again?!/

"No."

"Then what?"

"We are due to the arcade in 2 hours."

"2 Hours? Couldn't you let me sleep for another hour?"

"Yami, It's 11:00, your hair needs to be re-done, and your clothes are all over the floor.... In other words, WAKE UP!" Yugi screamed in Yami's ear. Yami shot out of bed and jumped to the floor. His head began to spin as he fell to the floor and into a coughing fit. Yugi ran to his side.

"Yami! are you all right?"

"*Cough* Cough * Cough * Yea...It was just a headrush." (to all the tall people, don't you hate it when you get up fast and get a headrush? I hate those!)

"Ok. Well go do your hair, it looks horrible."

"Thanks allot." Yami grabbed his hair and bent it all backwards, all the hair products fell out when he shook his head like a dog. (Now for a description of Yami's hair down...) Yami's maroon hair almost reached his ass, and his ends of his bangs laid against the bottom of his ribcage.(Humm, sounds hot...)

Yami grabbed a bag labeled "Yami" Which held bobby pins, combs, pixie dust (Magic ya know?) and other implements of destruction. Yami sectioned his maroon hair and split it into five pieces and taped them together (Ouch). He placed the spikes up and bobby pinned them and coated them in hair glue. He combed up each section and shaped them. Next he glued and bent his bangs to the right form. He pulled out his ruler and measured each piece.

"Perfect!" Yami grinned. He walked downstairs and into the laundry room. He sat in the pile of clean clothes and began to dig around for a good outfit, saying he's in his jammies, (a long black silk jammie top with a embroidered red dragon on the back, and black long silk bottoms with red flames up the side.) (^_~) He decided on his black tank top, a dark blue pair of jeans, a spiked dog collar, a pair of K-Swiss Sneakers, his silver digital watch, his chain link necklace, his half-moon earring, (Left ear), and his black headband.

"I'm ready for another day of beating Tea in DDR!" Yami did a weird spin and stomped a rhythm on the floor. He ran to Yugi's room and grinned as he watched Yugi trying to buckle his boots....

"Having trouble Abiou?"

"Stupid.....*Beep!*......Latch you dumb boot!"

"Hahahah*Cough Cough Cough *"

"Ah HAH! Success!" Yugi stomped the ground and threw his hands up triumphantly.

"Yugi we have five minuets..." Yugi grabbed Yami's hand and sprinted towards the garage. Yugi hopped on the back of a Navy moped, Yami was driving. They sped off, as fast as a moped can go, to the arcade. As they arrived at the arcade, Jounouchi, Honda, Anzu, Bakura, and Ryou were waiting.

"Your late!" Anzu complained as the entered.

"What, do you feel something special about today, your still gunna lose." Yami pointed out. Anzu stuck her tongue out at him. Yami mocked her, but adding in a weird sound and crossing his eyes. Anzu giggled.

"Bakura, wanna play Pod Racer?" Ryou asked innocently. Everyone who commonly went to the arcade knew that Bakura, and Ryou were the devils of the twin pod racers. Star Wars Pod Racing.... People would just forfeit if those two showed up.

"Is that a challenge?" Bakura playfully asked, pointing a finger at Ryou like a gun.

"I guess so!" And they were gone...

"Hey Jou? up to a game of laser tag?" Honda asked.

"Bring it!" Jounouchi grinned and Honda and he ran around the corner, hot on each other's heels.

"Well Yami, Yugi," Anzu said tapping her foot impatiently, "Are you ready to dance or not?!" She glared at Yami in particular. Yami glared back at her, Anzu glared, Yami glared, Anzu growled, Yami growled, Anzu blinked. Yami threw up his fist...

"Just can't win can you Anzu?"

"*humph!*" Yugi sweatdropped, and looked at the two bickering Koi's[1].

"Uh.....let's go." Anzu turned around and pouted as Yami did the same just grinning. Yugi and Anzu ran up to the Dance Dance Revolution machine. It was Yugi's pick, and he chose "Drop the Bomb" after about 1.5 mins. of dancing, Anzu was declared winner with a "A" and Yugi with a "B".

"You may have beaten Yugi, But I wont go down so easy!" Yami said rolling his eyes at her just to be annoying. Anzu glared at Yami as he jumped up to the platform.

"Prepare to loose again!" Yami placed his left foot on the = arrow, and his right on the = arrow. Anzu placed both feet in the center square. Yami's song, "Dead End" blasted through the speakers as the combatants (Can I call them that?) busted out their best moves, Anzu's all consisting of spins and fancy moves, and Yami's full of stomps and the use of his arms to hit keys also. Half way through the song when the sirens were going off, Yugi noticed that Yami was sweating more than usual. Yami's screen began to flash the words "BOO!" constantly. Anzu and Yugi both noticed this. Yami suddenly fainted and fell off the platform, his face beat red and with sweat streaming down his face.

"Yami!" Yugi ran to his side and propped him up. He coughed really hard and blood began to gather on his hand, which he was using...to cover his mouth. (I coulda worded that better.....)

"Yami! Yami! Anzu go call an ambulance!!! Hurry!" People began to gather around the two. Ryou and Bakura, hearing the ruckus, ran over to the abiou's.

"Yami! Yugi what in goodnesses's sake happened?!" Ryou stammered, fear clearly written on his face.

"I-I-I don't know! H-He was just playing DDR a-and he suddenly collapsed!" Yugi cried, tears running down his face. Bakura whispered something to Ryou and ran towards the Laser Tag room, where Honda and Jounouchi were sitting and sweating on the floor by the door. Apparently they were tired...from....laser tag.....(WE HOPE!.....oops....I got of subject again.....I once played Laser tag at a arcade called Planet X and it was really tiring, but it was fun! Oops! off the subject again!)

"Honda! Katsuya! The pharaoh's collapsed! He coughing up blood and all that good stuff!" Bakura reported. Jounouchi and Honda jumped to their feet. They followed Bakura back to Yugi, Yami, and Anzu where the ambulance had finally arrived and was lifting Yami onto a stretcher. Blood dribbled from the corners of his mouth and he was gasping for air. One of the EMT's yelled something at another. The EMT placed an oxygen mask on Yami and they hoisted him into the ambulance. They turned to the group of friends.

"We can take one of you with us." Yugi stepped forward, wiping his eyes.

"I'll go."

"It's ok little boy, your.....brother? will be ok."

"I'm fifteen." Yugi stated.

"Oh I'm sorry. Please hurry though." Yugi jumped in and the ambulance sped off. Anzu began sobbing. Ryou turned from the site and said something to Bakura in English. (They're in JAPAN. So, even though this story is written in English they are truly speaking Japanese)

"Hey we are going home and then we're going to the hospital, ok?" Ryou said nodding to what Bakura was saying. Anzu nodded and the left. Joey stared blankly at the ambulance as it sped off. Honda looked to the group

"Hey, I'm heading to the hospital. I'll see you two later." Jou nodded and Honda left. Jou looked to the distressed teen next to him. He slowly kneeled before her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders in a tight hug.

"Let's go to the hospital ok?" Jou looked at Anzu, who was still crying.

"Ok..." and they left.......

Yugi hugged his knees while he awaited news on his partner. His eyes moved across the room at a woman who was sobbing and clutching onto a man who must of been her husband. Their daughter had just died, the doctor informed them. Yugi pulled his eyes from the heartbreaking sight down the hall at Honda who must've just arrived. He was followed by Anzu Jounouchi Bakura and Ryou. Anzu and Jou sat on either side of him. Jou placed a hand on his shoulder and Anzu laid her head on his shoulder. Yugi drew into himself more as the doctor who had first spoken to him walked down the hall. Yugi pulled himself together and walked towards the doctor awaiting the news.

"I'm sorry to inform you, but......."

"What?" Yugi asked, afraid of the answer.

"I'm afraid that your brother has a very advanced case of leukemia, a form of cancer. He only has a few days left to live.....I'm sorry." Yugi fell to his knees and huddled up into another ball silently crying. Anzu grabbed Honda and started to sob into his coat as he wrapped his arms around her. Jou sat next to Yugi. Ryou and Bakura sat down and Ryou started crying. after a few minutes they headed up to Yami's room. He was laying down holding a GBA in front of his face. He clicked it off and smiled weakly at Yugi and the group.

"Hey....." He croaked. Yugi ran over to him and threw his arms around Yami's neck.

"Yami!!!!" He sobbed. Yami patted him on the head.

"You can't leave me! You can't leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!"

"Yugi, I'm sorry................."

//I'm sorry.........//
