Kanatasha: Okay, I said the chapter of this title would be A Cure or A Curse, but I'm changing it. Instead the title is, The Results
DISCLAIMER: NO OWN YU-GI-OH!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE RESULTS:
^"How could I let this happen?"^ The words echoed through Yami's head as he stared up at the ceiling of Yugi's bedroom. "I should have been more cautious! This is all my fault! If I hadn't let my guard down......" Tears swelled up in his eyes as the great ancient Egyptian pharoh thought back to the other day, when Yugi's test results came in.

"Dang it! Stupid piece of junk! Gimme my cheese puffs!" Joey stated angrily kicking the vending machine that stood outside of the waiting room. "Joey, get a hold of yourself!" Tristen replied walking over to his friend. "Look I know your worried about how Yugi's test would come back. We all are. But we have to stay calm and hope for the best." Swallowing the lump in his throat, Joey nodded. "Yeah yer right. I just hate havin to wait!" "I know it's difficult especially at a time like this." Téa replied joining in on the conversation. "But we'll have to be. We have to keep calm. Not because of Yugi but for his grandfather, and for Yami especially. He's taking this harder then any of us." The three friends turned and stared sympathetically at Yugi's other half. Since Yugi had been admitted to the hospital, Yami had been spending more and more time in his soul room. When Joey asked how that was going to help, he snapped at him replying. "NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!!" Tristen, Téa and Joey all knew Yami didn't mean the words he said, he was just as worried as they were about Yugi. Maybe even more. They all knew how much Yami loved Yugi. And not in a lover way either. It was a brotherly love. They chuckled lightly remembering the day, Yugi and Yami had pricked their fingers and smeared their blood, declaring themselves "blood brothers." "AHHHH!" Joey yelled ruffling his hair. "It's already been four hours! How long does it take to get results from a few test?!?!?" "Patience Joey." Surgokou replied from his chair. He had been trying his best to remain calm during the entire situation. "The doctor will tell us soon what's wrong with Yugi. Until then let's not think about that but of something different." All eyes turned on the old man. "Lets instead talk about what we're going to do when Yugi gets out of here." His voice began to crack as he continued on. "We.....we can't think......the...th..the....worse! Yugi....will come out of ....this.....I just know he will...." Téa walked over to Surgokou and knelt by his chair placing a hand on his lap. "Your right. We have to stay positive. For Yugi!" Surgokou smiled down at Téa wiping away his tears. There was a sudden knock at the door that made everyone turn their heads. "Yes? Come in." Tristen called out, breaking the sudden silence. The door opened as the doctor walked in. "Excuse me? Mr. Motou?" He asked looking directly at Surgokou. Surgokou looked up at the doctor hoping for the best but fearing the worse. "Have the test come back yet?" "Hai, they have." The doctor replied, peering at his clipboard. "Well?" Joey asked impatiently. "Whats ya find out? Is my buddy gonna be alright or not?" The doctor sighed heavily which gave the group an uneasy feeling. "His test came back in the yellow." "The yellow?" Téa asked confused. "What does that suppose to mean?" "Technically it means your friend is on the balance between life and death. His body is desperatly trying to fight against what ever is causing this sickness. Right now he's in a stable position where the tables could turn either way at a drastic measurement." "So......you have no idea if he'll live or not?" "I'm afraid not." Everyone was silent for a few moments letting the news sink in. Yugi was probally dieing. "Can you give us a list of his symptoms?" Téa asked hopefully in desperation. "Yes I can but I'm sorry if it won't do you any good. I know what your thinking of. You think if you knew Yugi's symptoms, you can find a cure right?" Téa slowly nodded looking up at the doctor. "Knowing the symptoms, you can find a cure." "It's not that simple. Yes we know his symptoms and there are in fact many drugs we can give him, but..." Yami stood up angrily interrupting the doctor. "Then why in the HELL don't you give him these DAMN drugs and cure him curse you!" Everyone, including the doctor became shocked at Yami's sudden outburst. "It's not that simple. We can't be certain of what drug to give him. Giving him what his body doesn't need could result him into suffering from brain damage, becoming physically disabled or death. Is that the risk your willing to take?!?" Yami looked down at the ground forcing himself to control his emotions. "no." He finally replied quietly. "I know this is difficult for you and we are doing our best to help your friend. You'll just have to have faith." *Turns and leaves the room. Before closing the door, speaks out behind him.* "I'll have the nurse give you a copy of the symptoms at the front desk."

Reaching into his back pocket, Yami took out the list of the symptoms he was given at the hospital. He re-read it for the hundreth time that day. {Fever, lack of sleep, abdominal pain, vomiting, laborate breathing, and internal bleeding.} Yami frowned frustrated at the paper gripping it tightly. For some reason, though he didn't know why, these symptoms and Yugi's condition was familiar to him. As if he had experienced it before, though he couldn't remember. Crumbling up the paper, Yami furiously threw it at the wall. "Damn it! I feel so helpless! I'm suppose to be able to protect my hikari from ALL harm!" Desperatly, Yami wanted to scream in rage. He knew he could all he had to do was open his mouth and let his fury pour out of his body. But all he could do was lay there frustrated staring off into space. "Oh please Ra." He finally spoke after an hour of silence. "Save my aibou. I am nothing with out him! Do not take him away from me! I could not bare the loss of someone I care deeply about!" A single tear rolled down the pharohs soft cheeks as he closed his eyes and finally fell into a fitful sleep.
