Kyoko: I can't believe Kagome! She only read the first chapter, and then she goes judging my entire story and … we're almost done, too! v.v (crosses arms and pouts) not only that but I was grounded for six weeks from the internet! -.- I hate my mom!

Jane: there, there, don't stress out… (pats Kyoko's back)

Kiri: (looks at Jane) hmm… if you're here…then Ryou's…

Jane: What are you planning?

Kiri: (evil smirk) Oh, Ryou, come here!

Ryou: What is it?

Kiri: (whispers something in Ryou's ear)

Ryou: x.x

Jane: O.O WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Kiri: Happy Thanksgiving Day… start the story

Jane:o...k...well, let's get on with it then...(whispers to Kiri) why did he faint?

Kiri: (whispers to Jane) he forgot to prepair a meal for his family...i think...

Kyoko: Fine… -.-'

Chapter 10: The Truth Revealed.

Ryou ran up and down the hall as fast as he could. He could hardly wait to see the gleam in Tea's and Tristan's eyes when he tells them the great news.

Suddenly, he stopped as soon as he heard laughter coming from behind a door in the far off corner. Curiosity getting the better of him, he peeked through the door to see the general – Tank if he remembered correctly- laughing evilly as he held a vile in his hand.

"When Yugi dies, I'll marry his foolish and naïve, twin sister, Queen Kiri, and rule over all of Araka! Hmm… Pharaoh Tank… I like the sound of that!" he mused to himself and several of his loyal subordinates.

'WH-what?! I …I have to warn them!' Ryou slowly stepped away after he got over his stunedness.

"What are you doing here?" a deep, dark voice ordered from behind Ryou, turning him around and holding tightly to his arms. Ryou struggled to get loose, but was no match for the strong, tall man as he was carried into the room.

"General, look at what I found snooping around and ease-dropping on your greatness." The guard announced. Tank stared harshly into Ryou's frightened, chocolate-brown eyes.

"Well… we'll just have to make sure he doesn't tell anyone, now don't we?" he grinned with a crazed look in his eyes.

"Sorry to disappoint you sir…" the youngest one – other than Ryou- spoke out in the small group, "…but if this one goes missing than high priestess, Jane, will begin to suspect something"

Tank gave him a hard stare with his green eyes and thought of what he could use on Ryou instead. Suddenly it came to him; he picked up a green tube and read the label on it with a huge grin on his face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jane cried as she ran down the stairway and to the garden door. She walked in as she thought to herself, 'He doesn't love me… he probably loves Kiri, after all, she is funnier and more spirited than me. I'm just a priestess… she's the queen.'

She looked at her surroundings and remembered the days she would spend there after they told her that her mother and father passed away. Her parents died the same day that Yugi's and Kiri's mother died, which was three years after Yugi was taken. Her uncle, Pharaoh Takashi, raised her and Kiri all by himself, along with Tank's help sometimes.

She was to busy thinking that she didn't notice the soft hand on her shoulder.

"Why are you so sad?" Kiri asked as she looked into her older cousins eyes.

"…Ryou doesn't like me… he likes you…" Jane sobbed.

"That's not true! He does like you! More than that, he loves you! He's been in love with you from the same amount of time as you!" Kiri complained as Jane began to believe her a little.

"How do you know?" she questioned.

"He told me." Kiri smirked.

Jane looked into Kiri's eyes for a while then made up her mind. "Alright I believe you… now, is that all you wanted to say?"

"Oh yeah! The doctors found a cure for Yugi! They just have to prepare it first!" Kiri exclaimed as she started to jump up and down in excitement at the thought of Yugi turning back to normal. Jane started to get the same happy feeling Kiri had and couldn't help but to wonder if that was how she really felt or if it was Kiri accidentally using magic to spread her emotions. Kiri grabbed Jane's hand and started to pull her out of the dark garden room and back to their own rooms for a better night rest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Tea woke up the next morning she had a feeling to talk with Ryou. She went to his room to find him not there, so she searched around the palace.

After an hour of searching and not finding him, she began to panic. She paced around the hallways and into the throne room.

"Tea, what's wrong?" Jane asked as Kiri yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes (a/n maybe they shouldn't have stayed up super late last night… don't you think?).

"Have you seen Ryou?" she asked with concern in her voice. Jane looked a bit shocked for a couple of second then snapped back into reality quickly. "No… is he not in the kitchen?" she asked. "I checked everywhere!" Tea almost yelled. "Didn't he go to you room last night?!" Kiri asked, fully awake. Tea shook her head as Jane began to panic with her, until she saw someone coming closer.

It was Tank carrying Ryou in his arms. "My queen and her guests, I found him in the garden badly hurt." He explained (a/n lair!). Ryou was unconscious and bleeding slightly from his head. The doctors came in and took him to his room where they healed his wounds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's been days now, why won't he wake up?!" Jane cried as Kiri tried to comfort her. Outside of the room, Tristan peeked through the room and caught Kiri's eyes. "Tristan, are the doctors ready?" she asked. He nodded his head as the two girls got up and began to walk out of the room with him to the throne room where Yugi is.

----In the Throne Room----

The cure was ready, and everyone was buzzing about it. /What now?!/ Yugi asked as he gazed around. Noticing the needle in one of the men's hands, his eyes grew wide. /Agh! Tea, save me/ He cried as he slithered all the way to her. Realizing his fear, she spoke out to the men, "What are you doing?! Do you not realize that Yugi is afraid of shots?!", while picking him off the floor.

"Sorry, Tea, but it's the only way they can change him back." Tristan responded as he took Yugi away from her and handed him to the doctors with the white coats and the big, scary, pointy, cold needles in their hands. (a/n I'm scared of shot's too! T.T they hurt! poor Yugi! ToT)

They gave him the shot (a/n ouchie!) and waited patiently. After several minutes, a bright, white light emerges. Kiri, Jane, Tea and Tristan gather as they witness Yugi transforming back, within the light. As soon as it dissipated the three girls gasped and quickly turned around as Tristan tried to contain his laughter.

Yugi looked at them puzzled until he realized that he was naked and quickly ran away to get something in the room to cover him. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Yugi you should really be careful!" Tristan laughed, earning a glair from the younger teen.

"Ha ha! Tristan. Why didn't you just prepare something for me?" he asked. "I don't know … I guess I just forgot." Tristan responded. Yugi looked around and then asked where Ryou was. Kiri looked away, Jane started to cry and Tristan gave a small sigh. "Yugi, we found Ryou unconscious and wounded. Right now, he's in a coma, so we don't know what happened to him…" "What?!" Yugi eyes went wide.
