Yugi: Hey Yami?
Yami: Yes Yugi.
Yugi: What's the matter with PhantomBrat?
Yami: She's fuming at the moment.
Yugi: Why? She's almost always in a good mood.
I got a call saying that a class I signed up for was canceled.
Joey: Shouldn't you be partying or something?
NO. I wasted three days trying to read the chapters and do the problems just to get ahead of the class BEFORE it started. Now I have to return the book and get a different one for another class that I found to replace the canceled one. UGH! I can't believe my luck!
Bakura: Goes to show that you can't always get ahead in life. I never went to school and look at me.
*Glares* You're a dead guy who used to be a lowlife thief who desecrated the dead and disturbed their rest. Sicko.
Bakura: You've got a fascination with graveyards too.
I prefer to merely look for the oldest tomb and I find it very educational to look at the year of death. One can tell if there was a plague or natural disaster that killed off people just by how many have passed in that specific year.
Bakura: See, there you have it...PhantomBrat's got issues.
*Glares* If you're speaking of Shonen Jumps, then yes...But if you mean mentally, then prepare to face my Dark Eradicator Warlock.
Ryou: -_- While Bakura's distracting PhantomBrat, I just going to say; Enjoy...
One month earlier…
Yugi walked home alone while Yami and his friends left for the arcade and BurgerWorld. This left him to run the shop alone. Knowing that Yami wouldn't be home until late, Yugi made a microwave dinner for himself and the last of the linden leaf tea. 'I'm just going to have to make this last until I can find out where Grandpa buys it. I hope that he doesn't get it on his trips, otherwise I'm in trouble. I don't want to drink cough syrup or take pills to sleep.'
Taking a fourth of the mug with him, Yugi headed to his room and closed the door for the first time.

Yami came home about eight-thirty and found no evidence of Yugi's presence. He went to check and see if he was home and found Yugi's door shut. He didn't bother to open it and see if Yugi was in. If he had, then he would have seen his Light's tear-stained face and the small cup of herbal sleep aid on his table.
LINE
Yugi woke up with yet another headache and called his school to tell them that he wasn't well and couldn't go to classes. They told him to stay home for as long as he wanted as he had completed his work for the rest of the year and part of the next year.
He called his grandpa and let him know how the shop was and that he was out from school sick. He asked the elder Motou about the tea and found out that it was purchased on the expedition trips. "I can have some shipped to you," Solomon offered his grandson. "But you need to try to fall asleep on your own for a while."
They talked for a few more minutes before Solomon told Yugi to go lie down and to leave the shop closed for the day. Yugi lay down on the couch and flipped through TV channels until sleep finally claimed him.
LINE
Yugi woke up hearing the door open. Yami and Joey walked in talking about the latest video game at the arcade. Feeling ill, Yugi headed to the bathroom and closed the door, locking it behind him.
Yami dropped his bag on the kitchen counter and left with Joey again, oblivious to his other half's discomfort.
After cleaning himself up, Yugi stumbled to his bedroom and fell into his bed. He let the darkness of sleep reclaim him.
Ryou: I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter.
Yugi: I'm sure they did.
Ryou: Where's PhantomBrat?
Yugi: She's either preparing to torch Bakura's weapons collection, working on an improved crossover between us and Stargate SG-1, paying Yami with Duel Monsters cards that he's never seen before to torch your yami's weapons collection, OR bribing Mokuba with candy to torch his weapons collection.
Bakura: *Wailing about his burning weapons collection* WHY? WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN RYOU'S PANSY MUSIC BOOKS!
Clean-up on Psycho Lane. I feel better now.
