Chapter 10: Yugi's Back





It was early in the morning, and Ryou was the one to wake up first. He carefully let go of Ariel, as to not disturb her, and slowly swam out of the room.



Ryou: "I wonder how Yugi's feeling..."





Ryou swam down the hall and opened the door to the hospital. To his surprise, Yugi was awake as well.




Yugi: "Hey Ryou!"


Ryou: "Good morning Yugi...why are you up so early?"


Yugi: "I should be asking the same question..."





Ryou sat at the edge of Yugi's bed, putting a serious look on his face.




Ryou: "Yugi...I have to tell you something..."


Yugi: *Confused* "What is it Ryou?"


Ryou: "Its about me and Ariel...we uh..."


Yugi: "What?"


Ryou: "We made love..."


Yugi: "Oh, I already know that."


Ryou: *Surprised* "You do?"





Yugi sweat dropped as he realized that he "secretly" saw them.





Yugi: *Covering his mouth* "Oops.."


Ryou: *Raising eyebrow* "How do you know?"


Yugi: "I kinda...peeked when you two made out..."


Ryou: "Yugi!"


Yugi: *BIG Sweat drop* "Well...you were right infront of me...I couldn't help but see what you were doing.."


Ryou: "Hmm...since you put it that way...its okay..."


Yugi: "But seriously..your relationship is sure going fast.."


Ryou: *Blushing* "Well...Ariel was the one that asked me to stay with her for the night..."


Yugi: "Hehe, I never would've guessed."


Ryou: "What?"


Yugi: "I had a feeling Ariel would be the one asking that question...you're too shy to ask something like that."


Ryou: "You have a point..."





Yugi then had a cute little smirk on his face as he asked his next question.





Yugi: "So, was it good?"


Ryou: "YUGI!?"


Yugi: "What!? Just asking.."


Ryou: "You used to be so timid and quiet...now look at you!"


Yugi: *Scratching Back of Head* "Hehehe...I guess I changed huh?'


Ryou: "No shit..."


Yugi: *Eyes wide* "Wow, you said your first swear Ryou!"


Ryou: *Covering mouth* "Oops!"


Yugi: "Its okay Ryou, you don't have to be a good person all of the time..."


Ryou: "Oh, okay."





Ariel suddenly opened the door, making Yugi and Ryou jump.





Ryou: *Startled* "Woah, you scared me.."


Ariel: "I'm sorry, I was just going to check on Yugi."





Ariel then swam over to Yugi, taking off his bandages and checking his wound. To her amazement, it was almost completely healed.





Ariel: "Wow, you've healed fast Yugi!"


Yugi: "I did? *Looks at his wound* Wow, I did!"


Ryou: "So does this mean that he can get out of bed?"


Ariel: "Considering his condition, yes."


Yugi: "YES!"





Yugi tried to get out of bed really fast, but a sharp pain in his chest made him fall back.




Ariel: "You're suppose to get out of bed slowly silly!"


Yugi: "Oh..."





This time, Ryou and Ariel helped Yugi get out of bed slowly. After being in bed for a week, Yugi was a little messed up when he tried to swim.






Yugi: *Falling over* "Woah!"




Ryou was able to catch Yugi before he fell, putting his arm around his shoulder for support.




Yugi: "Thanks Ryou..."


Ryou: "No prob."


Ariel: "Don't worry Yugi, you just have to get used to swimming again thats all.."


Yugi: "Okay."


Ryou: "Do you still need help?"


Yugi: "No, I think I'll be alright."





Yugi tried to swim, but ended up falling over again. Luckily Ryou was able to catch him again.





Ryou: *Sarcastic* "I think you thought wrong Yugi..."


Yugi: *Blushing* "Hehehe..."





Ariel realized that her dad would be getting up right about now, so she turned to Yugi and Ryou.





Ariel: "Hey guys, my father should be getting up any time now."


Ryou: "Yes, is that a bad thing?"


Ariel: "No, its just that we can't be late for breakfast."


Yugi: "Yay! Food!"


Ryou: "Yugi..."


Yugi: "Sorry..."


Ariel: "Lets get back to the palace!"


Yugi & Ryou: "Okay!"





Ariel and the others all made it to the palace before her father noticed. They all took seats at the large golden table in the dining room.





Yugi: "So...who's making the food?"


Ariel: *Smiling* "Our two best cooks, Sebastian and Flounder!"


Yugi: "Oh."





King Tritan groggily swam into the room, taking a seat in the big golden chair.





Ariel: "Morning daddy!"


King Tritan: "Good morning Ariel...Yugi, Ryou."


Yugi: "G'morning."


Ryou: "Good morning."





King Tritan knew what happened last night, but he decided not to talk about it while the others were eating. Sebastion and Flounder came into the room, carrying a whole ton a food.




Flounder: "Here ya go everyone."


Sebastion: "Bon Apitite!"





Sebastion and Flounder left the room, allowing everyone to eat in peace.





King Tritan: *Excited* "Ooo, I wonder whats on the menu today!"


Ariel: *Smiling* "Me too!"





King Tritan pulled the covers on the trays, showing a green-colored soup, bread that was also green, and some strange type of food that was pink and lumpy. Yugi pointed at the soup first.





Yugi: "Whats that?"


King Tritan: "Oh, this is Seaweed soup. It is very good for your digestive system."




Yugi pointed at the green bread.




Yugi: "Whats that?"


King Tritan: "This is gourmet seaweed bread."





And last but not least, Yugi pointed at the strange type of food.




Yugi: *Confused* "Whats THAT?"


King Tritan: "This is a Sea Cucumber. Very delicious!"


Yugi: "Oh.."





Ariel and King Tritan began to grab food off the trays and put them on their plates and began eating.




Ariel: "Aren't you guys hungry?"


Yugi: "Ewww...I mean yes!"


Ryou: "Yeah, me too!"


King Tritan: "Well then, don't be shy, dig in!"


Yugi & Ryou: "Okay.."





Ryou took a sample of the soup and the bread, while Yugi took a sea cucumber.




Yugi: *Whispering* "You try it first..."


Ryou: *Whispering Back* "No, you do!"


Yugi: "You!"


Ryou: "Fine..."





Ryou took a spoonful of soup and slowly placed it in his mouth. The soup was so gross that his eyes began to water.




Ariel: "How is it? Good huh?"


Ryou: *Nods head*


Ariel: "Are you okay?"


Ryou: *Swallows* "Yeah...I'm fine..."





Ryou then turned to Yugi.




Ryou: *Whispering* "Your turn!"


Yugi: "Fine..."




Yugi took the sea cucumber and shoved the whole thing in his mouth, slowly chewing the rubbery substance.




King Tritan: "Isn't it the best Yugi?"


Yugi: *Nods*


King Tritan: "Are you okay too?"


Yugi: *Swallows* "Ugh...I think I am..."


King Tritan: "Whats wrong?"




Yugi began to scratch himself all over. Big red blotches began to spread like wild fire all over his body.





Yugi: "Man I'm itchy!"


Ryou: "Uh oh..."


Ariel: "Thats means.."






~~~~~In the hospital...~~~~~




Yami: "I can't believe they've been out for already a month..."


Tea: "I know...I sure hope that they wake up before its too late..."


Joey: *Looking at the clock* "Hey guys, I think its time that we get goin'.."


Yami: "You're right...lets go..."



Yami and the others all said their goodnights and left the hospital. The nurses then came back in and check on Yugi and Ryou, shutting off the lights and closing the doors once they were done.
