Yugi looked on as his injured friend got carried to the ambulance. "I wonder what happened…" A man in a white coat walked up to him. "Do you know where this boys parents are?" Yugi looked up to the doctors kind face, wondering what to say. They were standing in Ryou's front yard, trying to sort out what happened, when he just got there.

"Um… His mother is deceased, and his father is in a archeological dig in Egypt." "Are you the young man that called us?" "Yeah.. He was supposed to be at my house, we were going to have a sleepover. When he was 2 hours late, I came over to see if he forgot, and I found him like that." The doctor scribbled something in his notebook. "Hm, I see. Come on, you can ride with us because you're the closest to a family member, and I need to ask you a few more questions."

"Ok" Yugi said, looking towards the house." Just let me call my friends. I need to tell them what happened." "Sure" The doctor said, nodding his head in an understanding way. "But hurry, your friend needs to get to the hospital very soon" "Thanks" Yugi said, darting towards the house…..

~1 Hour later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pacing around the room, Joey looked at the door to surgery. It had been four hours, and not even so mush as a glimpse from a doctor or nurse. "Man! Where ARE they?!?" Yugi looked up from his place on the couch, worry clear on his face. "Well," Tea said, trying in vain to clear up some of the gloom settling in the room, "He'll Probably pull through just fine, and then everything will go back to normal."

Triston Walked over from the other side of the room, where he was talking to a nurse. By the look on his face, the news couldn't be good. "She says that we can see him tomorrow… he's resting." A moment of awkward silence swept across the room, until Joey finally blurted out the question that was troubling everyone else. "Well, what's wrong then?"

As I sat in my puzzle, I thought about the recent happenings. I have to say I was quite surprised at my others actions. He was usually so kind, but then again, as far as things were concerned Ryou was his friend, and friends were his world. I smiled. "Heh. I guess I just explained the situation to myself. What happened to him anyway? Hm…"

Triston looked down at his feet. "They say that along with the innumerous cuts and loss of blood, there seems to be a problem…" A long pause settled into the room, that is, until Yugi shot up out of his chair. "Well? What is it?"
