"That was nuts!"

Disclaimer: I've grown up. Hopes and Dreams are for children… Well… no. I haven't grown up… Just given up hope.

Redfox: I'm REALLy, REALLY sorry about the last chapter... I got my X-Men files mixed up with my Yu-gi-oh! files... Gomen...

Despite his fight with his grandfather over going to his appointment Yugi found himself sitting on a chair in a waiting room, waiting for his name to be called.

The room was… normal to say the least. A little too normal. The walls were white, every inch of it. It was probably meant to calm the patients but all it did was give Yugi a feeling of nausea when he looked at it long enough. He felt like the white was going to engulf him in its… whiteness. Like being in a white shadow realm without the colorful purple streaks surrounding you. Yami agreed though, the room was a lot more uncomfortable in it's own little way.

There were a few chairs lined up along the left and right sides of the little white room, the door to the counselor's office placed behind the desk of the secretary which was situated just a little bit further from where the chairs ended.

The rest of the room was littered with parental and psychology magazines, tossed about from their original position on the table at the center of the room. There were also a few toys in a corner where most of the children sat, playing with them peacefully, their parents or guardians watching over them in case they started hurting one another.

Examples of the nut cases Yugi saw in the area were two kids, obviously twins. One was pulling the hair of her sister, the sister crying due to the hair pulling; their parents didn't seem to want to mind them at all. Near them, just by the door of the counselor's office, sat a young teenage boy, holding a picture and whispering frantically to it. Another kid mirrored the teen from across the room; the only difference was that this boy was whispering to the empty space beside him rather than to an inanimate object.

But there was one kid Yugi noticed right away… He was sitting on the floor beside Yugi and was chanting something under his breath, rocking back and forth, giving the perfect impression of a mental patient. He looked barely over eight.

"I am special… I am special… I am special…" He chanted curling up into a tighter ball of flesh and hair, "I am special… I am special… I am special…"

Yugi couldn't help but stare at the boy in morbid fascination.

"I am special…" The boy noticed Yugi looking at him and started screaming at the top of his lungs, "What are you looking at?! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?! STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!"

Yugi was startled and tried to tell the kid he meant nothing bad, but of course, the kid was too crazed to listen.

"AHHHHHH!!!" He shrieked, "STOP SCREAMING! STOP SCREAMING! STOP IT! STOP IT!"

"But I'm not-" The teen stuttered. In response the kid started rocking back and forth faster holding his ears.

"I an special… No one's looking… I am special… No one's looking…" Became his new mantra. Yugi looked at the woman seated in front of the little boy. He presumed that she was his mother; the problem was whether or not he should tell her to make the kid keep quiet. She didn't seem to notice that the boy was having a mental breakdown.

Yugi, instead of listening to the crazy kid blab about being special, turned to his Yami for conversation. A SANE and NORMAL conversation.

'Yami…' The Hikari called, 'Wanna talk about-'

'No.' Instantly the Yami put up a mental block, shutting himself off from the living world around him.

Yugi groaned and looked around the room, trying desperately [in vain] to find something, ANYTHING to take his mind of the boy next to him. He noticed some people in white uniforms staring at him from separate corners in the room; and since the room had the typical four corners, it's safe to assume that there are four men in white uniforms.

Under the piercing gazes Yugi began shifting in his seat and kicking his feet back and forth.

Nope, they were still staring.

'YAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII' Yugi called loudly.

Yami, unable to keep the sound of his Aibou out of his head and cursing his over-protectiveness [since he kept a small bit open… JUST IN CASE] answered, 'What is it?'

'They're staring.' The teen complained, mentally gesturing towards the frighteningly large men in white uniforms, 'It's making me insecure…'

He saw one of the men quirk an eyebrow, just enough for him to catch a slight change on the stone cold face.

Yugi sank into his chair in depression, 'Great… I think they think I'm crazy…'

'Doesn't everyone?' Was his Yami's comforting answer.

'Oh Shush.'

'Where'd you get that expression?' Yami inquired with a slight chuckle, 'Anzu?'

Yugi shuddered involuntarily, as they all do when hearing HER name, 'Not funny Yami… NOT funny…'

'Yeah… You're right… That was a bad joke on my part. Sorry Aibou.'

'No problem… Hey, I think that other guy near me is looking at me weirdly… I can't really tell… '

'Smile at him then! He won't suspect anything…'

Yugi smiled nervously at the large man, "He…he… hi."

The man narrowed his eyes menacingly causing Yugi to sink further in his seat.

A voice from inside the office pulled Yugi out of his pool of self pity.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THE BABY TEETH! THEY'RE AFTER ME!!!"

Another voice answered and Yugi cringed in disgust. He could hear the smiles and sweetness ooze out of it, "Please sit down Ms. Tuth Fery! There are no baby teeth in here… or anywhere for that matter… I think."

"NO! They're EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE I TELL YOUUUUU!!!!"

"Guards! Help! Hurry!" Despite the fear that was evident in the voice it still somehow managed to keep the sickly sound, "HURRY! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!"

Two of the large men in white uniforms instantly ran into the office and in a beat, came out dragging a woman in a white dress with a wand made of masking tape and a cardboard tooth hat on her head with the words "Tuth Fery" written on the front in black marker.

"NO!!! I'M SPECIAL!" She shrieked, making the hairs on Yugi's back stand, "I'M SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!"

"I know you're special! See you tomorrow!"

The door closed with such frightening force that Yugi was surprised that it didn't fall of its hinges. Everyone in the room didn't mind the scene, but Yugi wasn't able to ponder on that fact as the lady at the front desk called his name… well, tried to anyway…

"Moto. Mr. Yungi Moto."

"That's YUGI MUTOH."

"Whatever." She pushed Yugi through the door into the Guidance Counselor's office, "Get in there."

The door closed with a creepy creaking noise as a voice called Yugi, "Hello Mr. Moto."

Yugi whirled around only to come face-to-face with his greatest fear, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
