"Bakura what's the matter?" Marik asked. They were at Domino Arcade and the white haired yami seemed to be out of it.

Bakura turned to Marik "what you say?"

Marik sighed "I ask if you were okay. Were here yet your mind seems to be wondering off into space."

"Ya I'm fine. It's just that I'm worried about Akefia" Bakura said.

"What's wrong with the thief" Malik asked as he stood beside Marik.

"He's been puking his guts out a few times a day. It's been going on for four days! I don't know what could be wrong with him."

"I'll call Ishizu. She could give him a check up and should be able to see what is wrong" Malik got out a cell phone. He dialed the phone number and waited for his sister to pick up.

/ Malik, what do you want/

/how'd you know it was me/

/caller id/

/Oh yeah. I just wanted to know if you were busy/

/why/

/ Well Akefia has been sick for the past four days according to Bakura. And I was wondering if you could check up on him/

/ Not today Malik. I'm very busy. Tell Bakura to bring the thief king over a week from today/.

/…okay. Bye/

/ Bye brother/

There was a sound of a click. He closed the cell phone shut before putting it back in his pants. Malik turned to Bakura and sighed.

"Ishizu said to bring him a week from today".

Bakura growled "alright. I just hope he isn't dead by then".

"I'm sure he'll be okay" Marik said to the yami.

"He better be" Bakura snarled as he stormed his way out of the arcade.

Marik looked at each other a moment before going back to play video games.

Bakura unlocked the door to see Akefia curled up on the couch asleep. Ryo put a blanket over the other smiling down at him.

"Ahem" Bakura interrupted.

Ryo turned his grin to Bakura "hey yami. I didn't here you come in. where have you been? It's after ten".

"Been out with Marik and Malik. How's Akefia been?" Bakura asked.

Ryo sighed "he's been sick most of the morning and little of the afternoon. I hope this bug passes soon or I'll have to take him to the doctor".

Bakura shook his head "no need for that Ry. Ishizu said she'd look at Akefia next week".

"That's good. I hope she can figure out what's wrong with him" Ryo said.

"She will hikari. After all she has the millennium necklace".

Ryo nodded "true. So would you like me to cook you up something"?

Bakura shook his head "no. I already ate."

"Well I'm going to bed." Ryo headed to his room.

"You do that. I'll be out here for some time". Bakura settled himself down in a chair by the couch.

"Okay. Night yami".

"Night hikari".

Bakura glanced at the TV before looking to the white haired thief. 'I hope whatever is wrong with you isn't too serious and is treatable. As hard as it may be to believe, I really do care for you.'
