Always Room For One More!
Baby Winter- So what if this is the fifth chapter in two days... I'm too impatient to wait for reviews!
Yami- Ain't that the truth.
Baby Winter- *casts evil glare at Yami*
Yugi- Now now... settle down...
Baby Winter- Yugi! KAWAII!!!
Yugi- NOT AGAIN! *runs for his life*
Baby Winter- CUUUUUTEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Yami- -_-'
Yami- Who would like to do the disclaimer?
Seto- *walks in* Why not? I have nothing better to do.
Yami- *thinks to self* (how the hell did he get here?) Allrighty, go for it! ^_^
Seto- Hmph. 'Mistress' Winter does not own any of the Yugioh cast, including me. She only owns Li, her dad and mom, the teacher Miz Corithers, and a new character that might be introduced in this chapter, but revealing the name will spoil it. Kind of. Am I done yet?
Yami- Perfect!
Seto- *walks out of room*
Yami- sheesh... *glances at Li chasing Yugi yelling KAWAII!!!* Um... looks like I'm on my own! *peace/victory sign*

Yugi's POV
Supper was ready, and as usual, Grampa beat Yami and I to the table. Looks like Yami ended up doing dishes.
"I win!" Cheered Grandpa. I laughed as I joined him at the table. Yami came down the stairs last, rubbing his shoulder (Grandpa shoved him into the wall to get past him).
"You're pretty fast for an old man!" He grumbled.
"I should say the same for you!" He retorted. (1)
It was a fairly nice day earlier, but it had just begun raining a few minutes ago. I was worried about Li, considering we had just found out about her life at home, and Yami sensed it.
"Hikari, what's wrong?" Yami said, over his plate of noodles. We just recently found out Yamis could eat in their false forms.
"I'm just... worried about Li..." I said. I couldn't help it, but tears swelled up in my eyes. I couldn't stand it that my friend had been hurt for so long and didn't tell us.
"Oh. That. Look, Hikari, I'm sure she's allright!" He smiled, but it didn't help.
Just then, we heard the tinkling of the door bell as someone entered the Game Shop. 2 I offered to answer it, but Grandpa told me to eat my dinner, and he got up and got it.
I heard him greet the customer in the familiar way. "Hi, how may I help--" But he stopped abrubtly. Something was wrong. "YUGI!" He yelled. Something was VERY wrong.
Yami and I rushed into the Game Shop. There in the front door, was Li. She was soaked, and still in her uniform. Her left wrist was bruised badly, and she had scratches on her legs. But what looked the worst... was her jaw. It was badly cut and bleeding. I ran up to her.
"Good God, Li, what heppened?!" I shouted. She gave me a weak smile... and fell forward. She passed out. "Grandpa! Hurry, get some blankets!" I yelled. Yami came over to help me get her to the couch. We covered her up with the blankets Grandpa brought, and I went looking for the first aid kit. Luckily, we had enough fresh bandages to dress her neck. I tried to clean it, but I couldn't. There was too much blood and glass. Grandpa had to do it, and I watched her wince in her sleep as he did so.
"Will she be ok?" I asked. I couldn't stand to see one of my friends hurt like this. "She should have come home with us... we shouln't have let her dad take her..." I felt Yami's hand on my shoulder.
"Aibou, she'll be fine. Don't worry..." He gave me another reassuring smile. It still didnt't help.
When her wounds were dressed and we had gone back to eating, I couldn't help but inhale my dinner so I could call my friends over. They had to know what had happened.
"Yugi, BREATHE!" Grandpa joked. "Quit inhaling your food!"
I didn't smile back. I wanted to find out what had happened to Li. It had only been about ten minutes later, when the bell tinkled again. I stuck my head into the hallway to see who it was. When I caught a glimpse of his face, I bit my lip and walked back to the table.
"Hikari?" Yami asked. "Who is it?"
"It's her dad!" I whispered through gritted teeth. 'If he comes near her... I'll kill 'im. I swear. Li's my friend...'
Apparently, Yami felt the same way. He rolled up his sleeves, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let me have a little CHAT with him..." But Grandpa stuck out his arm and stood up.
"No, let me. Meanwhile, you boys hide her. I'll take care of her Father." And he disappeared into the hall.
Yami and I both got her up to my room, suitcase and all, and laid her on the bed. Then we sneaked back into the kitchen where we could hear the conversation better.
"Well, sir, I assure you she isn't here." Grandpa said.
"I swear I saw he come in here!" His words were badly slurred. He was very drunk. "That little brat... where's her friend? I'll kill him too!" Yami got really mad then and if I hadn't put my arm around his neck to hold him back, he would have marched right in there and socked Li's dad.
"You'll do no such thing, sir. Now if you'll excuse me, my supper's getting cold!" Grandpa turned and headed back towards us, but Li's dad, who just for the sake of abbreviations, I've dubbed 'LD', didn't like this one bit.
"You old coot! Get back here and give me my daughter!" He took Grandpa by the shoulders and whirled him around. Apparently he did it a little harder than he hoped to because Grandpa winced a bit.
"Sir this is private property, now LEAVE!" Grandpa suddenly raising his voice did the trick; LD was so startled, he mumbled something and left (only to wander to the liquor store down the street then further down the alley).
"Well, that was interesting. Now let's finish our supper," Grandpa said as he sat down at the table.
"But, what about Li...?" I pointed to my room as Yami joined Grandpa at the table.
"Yugi, there's nothing more we can do until she's rested and has woken up. Now come eat! Before Yami eats it all!" He dug in.
I sat down at the table and began to finish my dinner, still wondering if Li was going to be ok.

(1) I took this part out of another fanfic I really liked, but it was so long ago, and I can't remember which one, so will the author please forgive me!
(2) Okay, I'm not exactly sure, but isn't the Game Shop the front half of Yugi's/Sugoruko's (did I spell that right?) house? ^^;;; I dunno...
Baby Winter- *tired, sleeping on couch* *SNORE*
Yami- Where's Yugi?
Yugi- *upstairs hiding in the bathroom* hehe.... she won't find me here!
Yami- *sweatdrop* All righty then! Next chapter! Li wakes up! Mistress Winter finds it hard to do other character POV's so she's going back to Li's! -_-' What happens when a childhood friend of Li's comes back and still has a crush on her? READ ON TO FIND OUT!!!! Oh yeah, reviews would be nice, and please go easy on the flames! Although flames will be used to burn Pegasus and everyone else who crosses Seto's, Mokuba's, Yugi's, Yami's, Ryou's, Bakura's, Joey's, Tristan's, or MY paths! *Forget Tea; no offense to Tea fans but she's just too damn happy all the time* Oh yeah NO CANDY CANES!!!! OUR AUTHORESS NEEDS NO MORE SUGAR!!!!!!!
