Notes: Thanks for all of your support, and now for the personal authors notes:

JadeSaber: They are going to have to find out soon....you will see, maybe in this chapter, but if not, then very, very soon!

Yugi Moto: I'm glad you like it, you spelt cheating wrong though....you spelt it cheting. That's okay though, anyway mores coming up soon!

Meroko: Once again, in the reviews and fateful as always. I really don't think I could make Yugi completely deaf...but it will play a part in the story, most definitely! I can't say much more, I can't give away the story can I?

KaTyA: I may mind crush them, I may not. Maybe I'll ask Yami what he wants to do. Then again that might let a little more blood in my story that I wanted...we'll see.

Wolfspeaker: I try to update as fast as I can, and this chapter is coming out because I am going to be at a basketball tournament this weekend and will have NO time to update. Wish me luck this weekend! I have a forty-five minute drive to New York Tech tomorrow, and then I am playing at St. Dominic's. Hope I do well, you do too right?

Cloud-1-3-5: Trust me, I know how to touchier people, their deaths will be horrible!

Rox: *looks around nervously* It's coming don't get upset!

NemesisMuse: Coming, all in good time, I insure you they are coming in really soon. When exactly, is a mystery to not only you but me as well.

I hope I answered all your questions, and now without any further delay, the next chapter:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The first few periods of the day went well. Yugi didn't fall asleep in any classes, nor did he have any contradictions from Yami in History. Lunch was, as always, uneventful. After all Yugi didn't waste his money on what the lunch people called eatable.

Actually, the day went well, until the second to last period, gym. Today in gym they were running. Yugi along with Joey were almost done when Yugi felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He started to slow down and Joey noticed this.

/Yami, it hurt, God, it hurts so much/ Yugi told his darker half.

//Yugi, what's wrong, what hurts?// Yami asked. Yugi didn't have a reply as another fit of pain came over his body.

"Yug, are ya okay?" Joey asked, he noticed that they had almost stopped running all together. As soon as the words left his mouth Yugi dropped to his knees and held his stomach as he let out a cry of pain. Joey ran to see what was wrong as did the teacher.

"Yug, are ya okay, Yug talk ta me," Joey yelled, he could see the tears in Yugi's eyes, the pain was terrible.

"Wheeler, get Motou down to the nurses office right away, something must be wrong with him," The teacher called. Joey nodded and carried Yugi away at lightning speed.

Joey made it there in record tome but truly out of breath. "Can.......I get......some help....here?" he asked as he dropped to his knees in exhaustion.

The nurse came running out and gasped as she saw the two boy's condition. It was obvious that Yugi was in a lot of pain. The nurse gave Joey the order to lay Yugi down and then get some water and lay down himself.

Joey did as asked as laid down, but he did keep an eye out to see what was wrong with Yugi.

It took the nurse a bit of time trying to coax Yugi out of his fetal position but when she did she was speechless.

"Mr. Wheeler, are you okay to run down to the cafeteria?" she asked, as she carefully placed her hand on Yugi's abdomen. Yugi cried out in pain, it hurt more then anything his father had ever done to him. When the nurse turned to see how Joey was doing he was on his feet waiting the order of what to get.

"He is extremely emaciated, we need to get something into him, get some Jell-O, and applesauce as well as a bottle of spring water. Tell them the nurse sent you, go," She said. Joey was out before the 'g' ever left her lips.

The nurse turned her head back to the boy in pain. "God what happened to you Mr. Motou?" she asked him. Yugi wanted to tell her he would be fine but all her could do was whimper in pain.

Joey was soon back with the things she asked for. She nodded and told him to go and lay down again. Then she opened the bottle of water. "Mr. Motou, Yugi, please open your mouth, I am going to give you some water," Yugi did say anything but opened his mouth sort of.

The nurse allowed a small amount of water to flow from the bottle into his mouth and watched him struggle to keep it down.

"What did you have for lunch?" she asked him. Yugi shook his head. "And why didn't you eat lunch?" she asked, this was worrying her. Yugi didn't answer as he coughed up some of the water. The nurse then moved to the applesauce.

Yugi kept very little of it down but she did get some of the food into him. Yugi then went to sleep.

//Aibou, how are you, are you feeling any better?// Yami asked as Yugi slept.

/A little better, I think I was just very hungry/ Yugi said sheepishly.

//I told you that you should have eaten before school today. How much longer are you going to be here?// Yami asked.

/Don't know, why?/ Yugi asked.

//Because I want out, I can't very well come out here, what would the fussy lady thing?// Yami said with a bit of laughter in his voice.

/Yea, I guess it would be a little hard to explain how a carbon copy of me showed up out of no where/ Yugi said.

//Aibou, I think she is trying to wake you// Yami said. "Hmmm," Yugi moaned as he woke up.

"Well Mr. Motou, you look better, I think. I called your house but no one was there, so how do you plan on getting home?" the nurse asked.

"I was going to um....get a family friend to take me home, I'll meet him where I normally do," Yugi said getting up into a sitting position. The nurse took the fact that he didn't fall back down as a good thing.

"Okay, Mr. Wheeler could you please walk with him, I gave you both permission to leave now," she said.

Joey nodded and the two left the school.

"So Yug, who's the friends, have I met dem before?" Joey asked.

"No....um, I don't know if he will be able to..." But Yugi didn't finish his sentence because his knees fell under him and he hit the ground.

Yami, before he could sue his common sense, was out holding his fallen light.

"Holy shit, where da hell did ya comes from boy?" Joey asked. Yami pain him no regard, Yugi's help was in danger.

"Damn," Yami cursed as hr tried to wake him again.

"Hey, my house is really close, let's get him der," Joey said. Yami nodded and ran after Joey to his house, Yugi was in pain, and he could feel it!
