Chapter 10
Normal POV
Domino had undergone a lot of changes in the past few months. After the earthquake, everyone began to work on the city. Now all the rubbish was picked up and buildings were being repaired. The streets were repaved and new trees had been planted. The parks were redone and the signs for passing cars had been replaced. Everything seemed as it had been before the earthquake. The only difference was the twenty people who had been killed that day. Signs in the shops held words of comfort for the ones who had lost someone. The city made have suffered, but they were all much closer.
Yugi and all of his friends were at his grandfather's game shop, whose repairs had just been finished. They were all talking about what had happened, even though it had been a few months ago.
"I'm so glad I'm finally out of that hospital," Tristan said, happy that Serenity was sitting next to him. Duke, of course, was sitting on the other side of her, but Tristan and him weren't fighting about it. After the whole event, the two were just happy that the other was okay.
"Well, it's not like you were in it that long. You didn't even have a concussion," Tea replied.
"Hey, I was in it for two days and those were the worst two days of my life. The food there was awful," he said defensively. Joey, who loved food just as much as Tristan, looked sympathetic. The others, though, just rolled their eyes.
"Well, I had to eat that food for four days, so I think I beat you," Yugi stated, smiling that the bones he had broken had finally healed.
"Well, I think I beat all of you, seeing as how I was in the hospital for a week," A new, deep voice had filled the room, causing everyone to look at where it had come from.
"What are doing here Kaiba?" Joey asked, not liking the fact that the CEO had suddenly showed up. Both Kaiba brothers stood next to one another, the height difference astounding. Mokuba answered for his older brother.
"I just wanted to stop in and see how you guys were. I haven't seen you since the earthquake. Seto was on his way to work and came in to drop me off," he replied, still wondering if his brother had only come in to make fun of them.
"How considerate of him," Joey said, "now that he's done that, he can leave." The blonde had never been found of the elder Kaiba, and he hoped that the CEO would leave soon.
"Still as impatient as ever, Wheeler. Don't worry, I will be going now. I would rather not waste my time with you geeks when I can be running my multi-billion dollar company," Seto said, smirking as the blonde seem to grow more frustrated. He said a quick goodbye to his brother, leaving Joey ranting and raving about how he hated him.
"Why was your brother in the hospital? We have been so busy lately we didn't even hear about it," Tea asked Mokuba, after they had gotten Joey to calm down.
"Well, it's kind of a long story, so I will just summarize it," Mokuba told her. "He got hurt really bad in the earthquake and the doctor thought he would either not make it or go into a coma. I hoped he was wrong, but there wasn't anything I could do. After visiting him for as long as I could that day, I decided to go home. A little while after I left, Seto became conscious and stayed that way for a week. The test results showed that he was going to be fine and could go home," he finished, still excited that his brother was okay.
"Oh, well I'm glad everything is fine now," Tea said softly, feeling bad that she had not known this. Joey, on the other hand hadn't even heard what Mokuba had said. In fact, he was talking with Tristan. It sounded like they were saying something about food again. Is that all they ever think about? Tea wondered.
Mokuba did not stay for long. He left about an hour later, getting picked up by his chauffeur. None of the others did much that day. Soon it was late, and they could hear a strong storm outside.
"Wow, there is a lot of lightning," Mai said, wondering if they should all stay the night.
"Oh, it's not that bad. You aren't scared are you?" Joey asked the female blonde.
"No, I just…," Mai started in, but was interrupted by a loud bolt of thunder, causing Joey and Tristan to scream and jump a foot high into the air. This in turn caused everyone else to laugh, especially after Joey had just acted so tough.
"Hey, I was startled, not scared," Joey said defensively, knowing in the end they probably would not believe this.
"Yeah, sure, that's why you screamed like a girl," Duke replied laughing, secretly glad that he covered his mouth to keep from screaming during that last bolt of thunder.
"Yeah, Duke, and that's why you looked like you were about to pee your pants," Tristan stated. He may have been busy screaming, but he had still caught a glimpse of Duke's frightened face.
"I did not!" Duke started to insist but stopped when he heard something. It was a noise that was going in and out, making it hard to hear at first.
"Hey, guys, isn't that the tornado siren," Serenity asked, scared that this might turn into an event like the last one.
"Yeah, I think it is," her older brother replied.
