(A/N): This is a request from Flora216. I take usually requests, and if I do, I'll tell the person/ say it in my Author's Note. (As long if it isn't a super romantic thing or rated M. If it's like just a kiss or a little romance, I believe I can do it)


Prompt 11: Spring

At Hiragi's Residence (12:30 pm)

Call Failed! "Yuuuyyaaa! You better not be ignoring my calls!" Yuzu said, clutching her paper fan. "Yuzu calm down" Rin said, putting her pencil down. She was drawing a blueprint for Yugo's motorcycle (it was a request from him). "Yeah, they're probably asleep from last night's incident" Ruri said, looking at her cards. 'She's right. After all, Yoko did tell me about Yuya's dream last night. I'm glad he's okay now. Also, it's the weekend, so it makes sense why he would be asleep" Yuzu thought. "Weird…" Shun said, walking into the kitchen. "Hmm… what is Shun?" Selena asked, placing the book, The Three Musketeers, down. "Yuto usually wakes up at 11:30 am over the weekend. It's not like him to also ignore my phone calls or text messages" Shun replied. "Well, if you want to, You guys can come with me. I've finished the blueprints for Yugo, so I'll be going to their house. Do you guys want to?" Rin asked them, placing the blueprints into a white tube.

"I'll go. I need to give Yuri his book, Ripper By: Stefan Petrucha, back" Selena said.

"Me, too. Someone has to drive you to their house, and Shuzo is at You Show Duel School" Shun said.

"If Shun goes, then I'll go as well" Ruri said.

"*sigh* I guess, I'll go since I'm the only one left" Yuzu said.

"Great. Let's go" Rin said. As they went out the door, Selena looked up and said to them, "This Spring day has a lot of pollen!"


At Sakaki's House (12: 45 pm)

"That idiot didn't reply to my 53rd call! He better have a good explanation for this!" Yuzu said as they walked up to the Sakaki's front door. Selena, Ruri, and Rin all agreed. They called Yuri, Yuto, and Yugo too, with the same response, no answer. Shun rang the doorbell.

BBZZZZZ!

Yoko opened the door, and she was wearing a mask. "Here. Put this on" Yoko said, handing each of them a doctor's mask. "What's the matter?" Shun asked, placing on his mask. "Well, you know there's a ton of pollen today?" Yoko asked. They all nodded. "Well, Yuto went outside and accidently got some pollen on his shirt. Turns out his immune system wasn't ready for the pollen, so he's sick" Yoko[1] explained. "Let me guess. Because he's one of the counterparts of Yuya, the others caught a whiff of the pollen, and the all wound up sick?" Yuzu finished. Yoko nodded and added, "I also have to go to a National Champion Tag duel in 30 minutes, but I may have to cancel it-"

"It's okay Mrs. Sakaki, we'll take care of them. We've already been vaccinated for Pollen, so we'll be fine" Shun told them. "Ruri, I have some syringes for the pollen, can you go get it?" Shun asked. "Leave it to me!" Ruri exclaimed. "Thank you Shun, Selena, Rin, Ruri, and Yuzu. Yuri, yugo, Yuto, and Yuya are in Yuya's , I'll be leaving now! Bye" Yoko said, leaving. "Bye!" they said. Ruri quickly went to Shun's car. Immediately, she returned with a box of syringes. next to them, they were vaccines for pollen. "Excellent. Now.. time to treat the patients!" Yuzu said. They walked upstairs to Yuya's door.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in!"

They entered to find four Yuu- Counterparts snuggled next to each other.


ACHOO!

"Come in!" Yuto screamed (even though it sounded like a his normal voice to people). "Oh… Hey Yuzu!" Yuya sniffled. The four counterparts all sneezed at the same time. "That explains why you didn't pick up my phone calls" Yuzu said. "Wait! You called me!" Yuya exclaimed. He stumbled out of bed and checked his Duel pad. You have 55 missed calls from Yuzu. 'Shoot… I'm dead!' Yuya thought. "Sorry Yuzu!" Yuya said after he coughed a few times. "Hey Yugo. I brought you the blueprints" Rin said. "Oh.. thanks… You can put it on Yuya's deck" Yugo said, pointing to the desk. Rin placed the tube on the desk while Selena did the same with Yuri's book. Yuri was sleeping, Yuya crawled back in bed, Yugo was working with spare parts, and Yuto was doing his English homework. "Anyways, how long have they been like this?" Shun[2] asked Magician of Chronomancy. Chrono checked his watch and said, "Yuto got sick about three hours ago. When Yuri, Yugo, and Yuya was trying to care for him, they got it, too. Impressive how sick they can get in those two hours." Shun sighed. "Well, we'll be taking care of you" Yuzu said. All the Yuu-Counterparts (Yuri woke up) looked at eachother, and they started to protest[4].

Yugo: No way! We're perfectly fine! *sneeze*

Yuri: I think I'll go back to sleep…. for the rest of the day.

Yuya: Yuzu….. I don't think we need help. Thanks though.

Yuto (still in a raspy voice): I'm fine with Yuzu, Rin, or Selena taking care of us… but Shun and Ruri…. I think you don't have to help us…

"Are you saying our treatments are bad?" Selena, Rin, Ruri, Shun, and Yuzu all yelled at them.

"No, but they aren't normal either!" Yuri, Yugo, Yuto, and Yuto all screamed back. "Anyways, we're fi-" they stopped talking and started coughing. "Riiggghhtt" Selena said, rolling her eyes. "First treatment, vaccination" Rin said, opening the box of syringes. While they were filling up a syringe for each of the counterparts, Yuya and Yugo were looking at each other, scared.

"Okay, Yuya. Can you roll up your sleeve?" Yuzu asked. Frantically, Yuya backed away and said, "No way! No! No! No! Isn't there a less painful treatment?" Yuya asked. Deadpanned, Yuzu said, "This is painless. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way." Before Yuya can respond, Selena told them, "You all have to learn like Yuri. He takes his shots like a brave little boy." Before Yuri had a chance to run away, Selena grabbed a fistful of Yuri's hair and pulled him towards her. Swiftly, she jabbed the syringe into Yuri's neck (Ouch! O.O). "There. It's done!" Selena said, tossing the used syringe into the trashcan. Yuya immediately rolled up his sleeve, and told Yuzu[3], "Don't be like your Fusion counterpart...please!" Yuzu nodded and slowly pressed the syringe down into Yuya's left arm. Rin handed Yugo the syringe and told him, "I know you trust yourself more than anyone with shots. Trust me, I still remember how Jack gave you the flu shots." Rubbing his right arm, he sneezed, injected the vaccine, and replied, "Yeah…" Yuto closed his eyes as he counted down. "Three…. two…. one!" Yuto screamed (er said). Ruri injected the antibody into Yuto's arm. In synchro, they all fell asleep (the side effect of the syringe, is that it causes drowsiness).

"Well, now that that's settled. I think we need to make some soup for them" Ruri said. "Good idea. Aki taught me a great recipe. She's made it for Yusei, Jack, and Crow a few times" Rin told them. Shun and Yuzu tucked the four boys under the sheets, closed Yuya's door, and the five of them made soup for the Counterparts.


(3: 58 pm)

Yuto was the first to wake up from his slumber. YAWN! "Hey! I'm not sick anymore!" Yuto exclaimed. Yuya and Yugo then woke up. They also found out they weren't sick either. The three of them woke Yuri up, but Yuri wasn't happy to wake up. "Why is my neck so sore?" Yuri mumbled to himself, rubbing his neck. That was a rhetorical question.

They slid down the pole and found Shun, Ruri, Rin, Selena, and Yuzu making soup. "Hey guys! Thanks for the vaccine shot!" The Yuu-counterparts said. The Hiragi siblings turned around and said, "Cool! Soup's ready too!" The Yuu-Counterparts finished their soup quickly, and then, they asked the Yuzu counterparts, "Do you want to help us with something?" The Hiragi Siblings also finished their soup. "Why?" they asked. "Well, because it's the Spring and we're now immune to pollen, we want to give you something in a token of our appreciation" Yuri said, massaging his neck. They sighed. "Fine."


Sakaki's Garden[5]

"Wow!" Yuzu gasped.

"Is that why Yuto was…." Rin said.

"This is so" Selena said.

"..Beautiful!" Ruri exclaimed.

In front of them, it was a bed of multi-colored tulips, and around the bed of tulips, were four-leaf clovers. "Yep, when I saw the pollens, I had to clean up the garden bed" Yuto explained to them. Yuya bent down and clipped a few tulips while Yugo plucked a few clovers. Yuri came back from his room, and he wrapped the plants with a rainbow ribbon. "Here" Yuri said, giving the flowers to Shun. "We all planted the tulips on March 22. Yuya planted the red one, Yugo planted the yellow one, Yuto planted the purple one, and I planted the fuchsia one. Say it's a Happy Spring gift." "Thanks!" The Hiragi siblings said. "Well, we better go home. Our job here is done! See you tomorrow" Shun said, leaving the garden. "Bye guys" Selena, Rin, Ruri, and Yuzu. "Bye" Yuri, Yugo, Yuto, and Yuya said, watching them leave.

After they left, the Sakaki Brothers went back to the garden and looked at their tulips. "Amazing how they've grown in the Spring" Yuto said. "Agreed" Yugo, Yuri, and Yuya said. They all took a deep breath of the Spring breeze.


Footnotes:

[1]- Yoko, Yusho, Reiji, and other adults have grown an immune system against the pollen

[2]- Shun is a Psychic Duelist, like Yuto, so I'm giving him the ability to see Spirits as well, like Yuto. SLIMS!

[3]- Remember: This is a Yuzu counterpart. If Selena was like that to Yuri, Yuzu may be the same.

[4]- What happened was this:

[Yuya]- Yuzu smacks him upside the head with her paper fan if he refuses to do anything Yuzu tells him to do (ex. When Yuzu was telling Yuya to drink his chicken noodle soup, even though Yuya kept complaining he wasn't hungry).

[Yugo]- She would either threaten him or let Jack take care of him. Either way, Yugo ended up getting hurt.

[Yuri]- I think I proved my point here.

[Yuto]- When Shun takes care of him, you know Raid Raptor will be included (don't get it? read Chapter 8: Cirque du Soleil (translation: Circus of the Sun)). When it's Ruri, he get smacked upside the head with a textbook or anything that's in a five feet radius of her.

[5]- SLIMS! I'm going to assume they have one!
