Li's POV
After what seemed like a millenia, I woke up again. The last thing I remembered was a girl screaming, and everything going black. I clenched my fists and wrapped the stiff sheets around my slowly-responging fingers, and listened to the constant calls over the intercom and 'brrriiiiing' of the many phones outside my room. A nurse came into my room, and changed the little blood bag I just noticed was hooked to my arm. Nurse equals hospital. Hospital equals bills. Bills equal either I find a job or Grandpa isn't going to be happy.
I groggily looked at the nurse, my eyelids too heavy to keep open, and she smiled and muttered, "Go back to sleep, girl." All I did was stare at her blankly as I watched her shove a fresh needle into my hand and tape it down. 'Right, lady,' I thought. 'Yeah, I'll go right back to sleep after watching you practice 'pin the needle on the teenager' and ending up missing three times. Surrrrrrre.' My brow furrowed at her, and she gingerly rubbed my hand.
"Your friends have missed you," She said, gesturing to the shelf on the wall parallel to the foot of my bed. The entire wall was plastered in cards, and you could barely see the cards on account of the flowers. I made out a few of the notes taped to the vases; "Friendship will put you back on your feet. Love, Tea." Figures. "Hey! Grandpa got a new shipment of booster packs in... fresh off the press and not even released to the public yet! ~Yugi. P.S. Look in your bedside drawer. ;)" "Don' worry... we got that thug for laughin' when he found out you were hospitalized. Take care and we'll be back to visit you after school lets out! From, Joey and Tristan." There was a LARGE bundle of roses, white and blue, mainly, on the shelf closest to me. I could make out the writing on the card from an angle... "Yami." I smiled inwardly as I laid back down on the oversized pillow behind me.
"Do you want anything, dear?" The nurse asked. I shook my head no, and she left the room. The second she did, I rolled over and with my free hand opened my bedside drawer. There were three boosters there; the new pack that was going to come out next week, supposedly. I figured on saving them for later, when I could open them with my friends, so since I had nothing to do, I fiddled around with the bed controls (That's fun... when I was in the hospital when I was young they had to knock me out for hours at a time to keep me from playing with the controls!). After a while, a nurse came into and sternly told me not to, so all the fun just dropped out of it and I had to find something else to do until three o' clock. Not exactly as easy as it sounds.
- - -Third Person- - -
The day at Domino High wasn't going as fast as everyone had hoped-- mainly because all it involved was sitting at a desk, glaring at the clock, and listen to the oooooooollllllldddd history teacher drone on and on about Bacon's Rebellion and the Navigation Rights.
Not that anyone was keeping count, but Joey had gotten smacked on the head with a rolled up newspaper seven times for drooling on the history book, Tristan four times for falling out of his chair (asleep), Yugi once for snoring a bit loudly, Kat twelve times for laughing at all this, and Taylor twice for talking about Milk Duds in his sleep (DON'T OWN THAT!!!). Well, Tea is a little perfect ya-ya person and no one cares about her. If you do, go away. This is not a fic you want to be reading.
"Yuge... that clock is busted, I swear..." Joey murmured for the third time while giving said clock the evil eye, as if DARING it to go slower.
"......." Yugi's head was tilted back on his chair, and he was snoring. He hadn't heard a word of what Joey said. But when Tea leaned forward with an idea to wake him up, and whispered something in his ear, he sat bolt upright and promised her that he wouldn't sleep again (mainly because what she said probably left an image in his mind that he thought of whenever he closed his eyes.).
Joey chuckled and resumed his glaring. Kat was hunched over her desk, scribbling furiously on a piece of paper that Ryou guessed was headed Tristan's way. He was right when he witnessed it get sucked up his nose.
'That's what he gets for sleeping on his desk when people are trying to pass notes to him,' Ryou thought.
Joey kicked Tristan's chair and leaned forward to whisper, "Dude... when you're passin' love notes... don' fall asleep!" Tristan made a swipe at his face but missed, as the teacher called out, "Mr. Wheeler! Mr. Taylor! Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?"
"...N-no sir..." Tristan said, wide-eyed. Joey snickered behind him.
Unfortunately, the teacher spied the love note on Tristan's desk. Uh..... ohhhhhh.......
"Ah HAH! What do we have here? A love note, perhaps? Or maybe the answers to tonight's homework?" He said, picking up the pink-papered note in his thumb and forefinger as if it were contaminated. "Well, let's see here..."
"Nothing... I was jus'... doodlin'..." Tristan said quietly, trying to ignore the heat rising in his face.
"And would you, of all people, just be happening to doodle on pink paper, decorated with red hearts?" Tristan blushed even more as the teacher looked to his left and spotted the pad of paper that matched the one in question in his hand, which happened to be on Kat's desk. "Well, well, well... Lovers, eh? How about 'Couple's Detention?' It sounds fancy, but I assure you, it's no joyride. Thursday, after school." Tristan and Kat groaned as the bell rung and their punishments sunk in.
Yugi jogged up to him, taller and buffer than normal, which indicated his Yami had taken over. "Are we ready to go? Visit Li, I mean?" He said, looking back and forth between Kat and Tristan. Joey and Yami Yugi walked out of the classroom followed by Bakura, Tea and Taylor, and were halfway down the hall before Tristan and Kat sulked out.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()(20 minutes later)()()()()()()()()()
Someone would have thought it impossible for a 5,000 year-old spirit to get anywhere in a seven story hospital in three minutes... but that someone never met a verrrrrrrrrrrryyyy determined yami we all know (and love, for all you fangirls... including me ^^;;;). After less than five minutes, he had found the correct nurses' station on the tenth floor, the correct hospital wing and the correct room.
"You don't understand! We're the closest she has to family! We NEED to see her!" Yami shouted.
"Sir, please keep your voice down. And we can't allow you to go in. Miss Mitome needs her rest--" The nurse was interrupted before she could finish her excuse.
"Just let 'em in, jeez!" The nurse with a nametag that read, "Christy" swiveled around in her chair to the voice from behind her. In the doorway stood a very pissed off Li, a bloodbag hanging from a pole by her side.
"GAH! MISS MITOME!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED?!?!" Christy shouted, drawing the attention of unnaproving looks from other hospital personnel. She realized what she was doing and quickly lowered her voice. "And why aren't you hooked up to the heart monitor?!?!"
"Oh, that annoying beeping thing? All I did was unplug it," She held up the cord that was attached to her arm as she spoke, rousing a hiss from the attendant.
"I could get fired for this!!!" Immediately, she ran to Li and pushed her in the room. "Get in bed! NOW!" Christy practically strapped Li to the bed before storming out and telling the others they could come in. Joey and Bakura came in with amused looks on their faces.
"Jeez, Louise! How did you get HER so pissed?" Joey chuckled. "I thought Mrs. LT couldn't get madder!"
"You have a nack for getting on people's nerves, eh Li?" Bakura smiled (GAH!!! CUTE-EVIL SMILES!!! *faint* X_X). Li just smirked and dove into her bedside drawer.
"I've been waiting for you guys to come. I wanted to wait 'till you were here to open these." Li held up the three packs Yugi had left for her and everyone gathered around her bed. She opened the first one and surveyed the nine cards she had in her hands.
"Good cards," Yami murmured.
In her hands, Li held the Green Phantom King, Raigeki, Swords of Revealing Light, Spike Seadra, Hane-Hane, Succubus Knight, Pot of Greed, Aqua Madoor, and Gravedigger Ghoul. She smiled as she unwrapped the second package. It contained the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon, Electric Snake, Spellbinding Circle, Maha Vailo, Ancient One of the Deep Forest, Gravekeeper's Servant, Octoberser, and Commencement Dance.
"Jeez, I need the Performance of Sword card for the Commencement Dance... What's the use of a Ritual card if you don't have the card to summon?" Li murmured as she eyed the last card.
"OH MY GOD! You got a BLUE EYES TOON DRAGON?!?!" Joey drooled over the card as Li looked over her shoulder at him.
"That is rare," Taylor said. "Probably rarer than the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon..."
"Joey, ya want it?" Li said.
"W-W-WHAT?!?!?!" Joey screamed. "HELL YEAH!!!"
"Here." She tossed it up in the air without a care (teehee... I rhymed again!). Joey caught it instantly and without hesitation. He just stood there, gawking at it as he held it in his hands.
"Li," Yami said, sitting down on her bed. "Why would you give it away if it is so rare?"
"I just have a feeling it will come to more use in Joey's deck than mine." She shrugged as Yami nodded.
"Well, if you see a nice fairy, may I have it?" Tea asked hopefully.
"Why not?" Inwardly, Li was disgusted at the fact that Tea was so... HAPPY all the time, even with her deck (*eyes angry Tea-fans* Well, it's the TRUTH!!!). She waved off evil thoughts of Tea-torture as she opened the last pack. Her eyes widened as she read the names on the cards.
"Performance of Sword... Mystic Plasma Zone... Queen's Double... Princess of Tsurugi... Protector of the Throne... Skull Knight... Tainted Wisdom... Fake Trap... and Petit Angel." She instantly threw the last card Tea's way and she caught it, jumping up and down. "Jeez... these are my favorite cards!!!" Li exclaimed. Yami squeezed her shoulder gently, having an idea for her next birthday.
"Woh hooooaaaaahhhh! Check it out!" Tristan said as he eyed the Princess of Tsurugi. "Niiiice! Blonde Bombshell!!!"
"Ugh..." Li said as she yanked her card away from Tristan.
"Can I have it? Pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeee, Li?" Tristan said, getting on his hands and knees and trying to copy Yugi's cute look.
"Uh... no." She laughed, waving the card. Tea murmured something about cruelty to friends and stood with her hands on her hips.
"Pwetty pweeze?"
"Uh uh."
"C'mon Li... Please?"
"No."
"Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....." Tristan whined, making his lip tremble as a single tear ran down his cheek.
"Augh! No! YOU'RE USING MY OWN LOOK AGAINST ME!!!" Li sighed, and gently handed the card to Tristan.
"OH MY GOD! I owe ya one, Li," Tristan said, eyeing the card dewy-eyed. Joey laughed as he and his friend compared their new cards, each fighting over which was cooler.
"Oi..." Ryou murmured. "Do they ever shut up?"
"Guess not..." Taylor muttered, staring at both boys who were now attracting the attention of many ticked nurses.
"Uh... guys?" Li said.
"NO!!! MINE-MINEMINEMINEMINE!!! SO THERE!!!"
"Guys?"
"No! MINE'S BETTER!!! NUH UH!!! MINE CAN KICK YOUR BUTT!!! SO THERE!!!"
"GUYS!!!"
"Eep..." Both boys turned to face her with their hands behind their backs. "We're sorry..."
"Look, if you're gonna fight, please do it somewhere else! You'll get everyone kicked out!" Li said sternly.
"Doesn't matter," Came a voice from the doorway. "They have to leave now. Visiting hours are over."
"GAH! Why can't they stay? PLEASE?!?!" Li turned towards Christy and complained.
"No. By the way, you have a new gift. From some guy..." Christy muttered as she gestured towards the nurses' station.
"Ugh... bring it in later, I guess..." Li pouted.
"Allright... Now, leave!" Christy barked, and stood aside as everyone marched out and waved. Yami ended up fighting Christy because he wanted to turn around and say goodbye again but he was finally wrestled out of the door. Li smirked at the sight as she laid down and tried to go back to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Li~ Pretty long chapter.
Yami Li~ Okay, we're doing a little advertising here.

Li~ NO! IM A REVIEW JUNKIE!!!! MUST HAVE REVIEWS!!! X(
Ryou~ *sigh* We always go through this... *hangs head*
Li~ Okay, if you want to see how Li and Kat met the Yu-Gi-Oh gang, go read my fic: Unexpected Aquaintences. If ya wanna read the story on Yami Li in her first life, read Crimson Bottle. It's where she's basically trying to kill herself in the first few paragraphs.... a bit angsty. GO WEAD!!! XD
Malik~ And.....?
Li~ OH YEAH!!! Wingleader Sora Jade has a LOT of Yu-Gi-Oh! fics, such as "Pine Cones and Holly are Not Good To Eat!" where me, her, and a buncha other people get snowed in with the Yu-Gi-Oh! gang. Don't bug her to update; she's got a LOT of fics on hand, AND school. Then there's Visions of the Heart, which is now finished, where Bakura pushes it a bit too far, and Ryou is blinded. Then, the Shadow Realm wants something of the poor boy.... THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU!!! XD
Bakura~ *slaps forehead* *rethinks himself* *slaps Li's forhead*
Li~ X_X ugh...
Yami~ And the sequel to VoTH is Sacrifice of Shadows, currently still being worked on, and you don't NEED to read VoTH to understand it, but it would help a lot if you did and I don't suggest skipping it!
Joey~ Allright people, since Li is out cold....
Li~ X_x
Joey~ I'll say dis for her. Each chappie she'll do an ad for one of her friends and/or reviewers. If ya don' wan' her to advertise for ya, put it in a review.

"I just have a feeling it will come to more use in Joey's deck than mine." She shrugged as Yami nodded.
"Well, if you see a nice fairy, may I have it?" Tea asked hopefully.
"Why not?" Inwardly, Li was disgusted at the fact that Tea was so... HAPPY all the time, even with her deck (*eyes angry Tea-fans* Well, it's the TRUTH!!!). She waved off evil thoughts of Tea-torture as she opened the last pack. Her eyes widened as she read the names on the cards.
"Performance of Sword... Mystic Plasma Zone... Queen's Double... Princess of Tsurugi... Protector of the Throne... Skull Knight... Tainted Wisdom... Fake Trap... and Petit Angel." She instantly threw the last card Tea's way and she caught it, jumping up and down. "Jeez... these are my favorite cards!!!" Li exclaimed. Yami squeezed her shoulder gently, having an idea for her next birthday.
"Woh hooooaaaaahhhh! Check it out!" Tristan said as he eyed the Princess of Tsurugi. "Niiiice! Blonde Bombshell!!!"
"Ugh..." Li said as she yanked her card away from Tristan.
"Can I have it? Pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeee, Li?" Tristan said, getting on his hands and knees and trying to copy Yugi's cute look.
"Uh... no." She laughed, waving the card. Tea murmured something about cruelty to friends and stood with her hands on her hips.
"Pwetty pweeze?"
"Uh uh."
"C'mon Li... Please?"
"No."
"Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....." Tristan whined, making his lip tremble as a single tear ran down his cheek.
"Augh! No! YOU'RE USING MY OWN LOOK AGAINST ME!!!" Li sighed, and gently handed the card to Tristan.
"OH MY GOD! I owe ya one, Li," Tristan said, eyeing the card dewy-eyed. Joey laughed as he and his friend compared their new cards, each fighting over which was cooler.
"Oi..." Ryou murmured. "Do they ever shut up?"
"Guess not..." Taylor muttered, staring at both boys who were now attracting the attention of many ticked nurses.
"Uh... guys?" Li said.
"NO!!! MINE-MINEMINEMINEMINE!!! SO THERE!!!"
"Guys?"
"No! MINE'S BETTER!!! NUH UH!!! MINE CAN KICK YOUR BUTT!!! SO THERE!!!"
"GUYS!!!"
"Eep..." Both boys turned to face her with their hands behind their backs. "We're sorry..."
"Look, if you're gonna fight, please do it somewhere else! You'll get everyone kicked out!" Li said sternly.
"Doesn't matter," Came a voice from the doorway. "They have to leave now. Visiting hours are over."
"GAH! Why can't they stay? PLEASE?!?!" Li turned towards Christy and complained.
"No. By the way, you have a new gift. From some guy..." Christy muttered as she gestured towards the nurses' station.
"Ugh... bring it in later, I guess..." Li pouted.
"Allright... Now, leave!" Christy barked, and stood aside as everyone marched out and waved. Yami ended up fighting Christy because he wanted to turn around and say goodbye again but he was finally wrestled out of the door. Li smirked at the sight as she laid down and tried to go back to sleep.

Li~ Pretty long chapter.
Yami Li~ Okay, we're doing a little advertising here.
Li~ *sigh* must we?
Malik~ Yes. Unless you want the reviews to go down.
Li~ NO! IM A REVIEW JUNKIE!!!! MUST HAVE REVIEWS!!! X(
Ryou~ *sigh* We always go through this... *hangs head*
Li~ Okay, if you want to see how Li and Kat met the Yu-Gi-Oh gang, go read my fic: Unexpected Aquaintences. If ya wanna read the story on Yami Li in her first life, read Crimson Bottle. It's where she's basically trying to kill herself in the first few paragraphs.... a bit angsty. GO WEAD!!! XD
Malik~ And.....?
Li~ OH YEAH!!! Wingleader Sora Jade has a LOT of Yu-Gi-Oh! fics, such as "Pine Cones and Holly are Not Good To Eat!" where me, her, and a buncha other people get snowed in with the Yu-Gi-Oh! gang. Don't bug her to update; she's got a LOT of fics on hand, AND school. Then there's Visions of the Heart, which is now finished, where Bakura pushes it a bit too far, and Ryou is blinded. Then, the Shadow Realm wants something of the poor boy.... THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU!!! XD
Bakura~ *slaps forehead* *rethinks himself* *slaps Li's forhead*
Li~ X_X ugh...
Yami~ And the sequel to VoTH is Sacrifice of Shadows, currently still being worked on, and you don't NEED to read VoTH to understand it, but it would help a lot if you did and I don't suggest skipping it!
Joey~ Allright people, since Li is out cold....
Li~ X_x
Joey~ I'll say dis for her. Each chappie she'll do an ad for one of her friends and/or reviewers. If ya don' wan' her to advertise for ya, put it in a review. And she's also doing this cuz FF.net is down righ' now and she don' feel like adding on to this chappie when it's up. She'd rather just do a reviewer/friend at a time. NEXT REVIEWER: (if she can remember this) TRIO!! XD
Tristan~ HUH?!? WHERE?!?!
Kat~ Down, boy.
Yami~ You're jeeeeeaaaaaalllous!!!
Kat~ AM NOT!!! *goes 37 shades of red*
