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

            The sun rose and turned the sky gold and pink.  Yawning, Yami sat up, his eyes puzzled.  "What? I thought I would stay up all night and watch the cure, what happened? I can't have fallen asleep…if anything has happened to it, everything will go down the drain, by Ra…"  He looked at the mixture and groaned.  "Darn, darn, darn!" he said, arousing all the others.

            The cloudy bronze cure had spilled.  And during the night, some wild animal had lapped it all up.  Midiron pulled a small yellow bundle out of his pocket.  "Well, I believe that I have some extras…" But when he opened it up, there was nothing in it.  Yami set off towards the bottom of the mountain.  Nobody bothered to ask.

            Joey ran after him.  "Hey, buddy, you need backup!" he called.  Both were so intent on finding the other ingredients that none realized that during the night, small, pale blue flowers with pink seeds in the middle had sprouted up…

            …

            Yami walked along at breakneck speed, only pausing to rip the bark off an oak and to pick up leaves that had fallen from the rowan trees.  No raspberries anywhere, though.  A small smile crept up his face.  "I better find Joey, he always finds food easily…"

            He trod off back up the mountain, and sure enough, Joey's footprints led straight to a raspberry bush, and a tall figure stained with the juice stood stuffing himself with the green ones and ignoring the angry insects that were swarming around him.  Yami's smile grew.  "Joey, pick the good ones and stop eating the green ones.  You'll get sick."

            "I don' care" was the loud reply.  However, he tossed Yami a cloth with red, juicy raspberries and continued stuffing himself.  Shaking his head, Yami trudged up the mountain, his smile fading slowly.  He must be dreaming.  Could it be…

            "A medium sized blue flower with pink seeds in the middle" had been Midiron's description of the Capabura.  Well, there was one right in front of him.  If he was dreaming, he'd never forgive himself…

            Yami reached trembling fingers towards the pale flower.  He lifted it out of the ground, roots and all, as easily as if he had pulled it out of liquid.  Hurrying back to the campsite, he laid the Capabura neatly to the side and added the rowan leaves.  He quickly ground the raspberries and dumped them in, as well.  He was about to dump in the roots of the Capabura, but Midiron stopped him.  "The liquid from the roots is added…last."  Yami looked at Midiron closely, but he was completely serious.  "Do you want to make the potion all wrong? Then, my friend, follow my lead."

            Yami glared at Midiron as he walked away.  The man had not even seemed relieved at Yami and Joey's quick finds, only looking at the Capabura.  There was something fishy going on…

            For the rest of the day, Yugi's friends looked after the potion in shifts.  Yami was left stirring the liquid as the sun set, and he still was stirring it when the sun rose.  Five down, two to go.
