Darkness' Folly

Disclaimer: I still don't own anything of value, so I still obviously I don't own YuGiOh. I also don't have any money after buying several anime books, various DVDs and other stuff like that.

Note: Wow!!!! I got 11 reviews!!! I am dedicating this chapter to A.K.A. Talentless and all the other nice people who reviewed.

(If you think Yami was mean, well, tough! He was a pharaoh in Egypt with a lot of slaves...)

~*~*~*~*~ Ch 3~relization ~*~*~*~*~

Tea woke up, and slowly sat up. The storm from last night was over, only a light drizzle was left. She turned on her radio and started dancing. Then, after several songs she got ready to go to the arcade. She looked at several pictures as she got her breakfast. One was of Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Ryou and herself right after Duelist Kingdom. Another was of Yugi and Yami after they had separated. Then there was one of Yugi alone, with his trademark grin. When she saw that one, she frowned. Recently Yugi had had several injuries, had been talking less and barely smiled. When he did smile, it was a fake smile. Yami didn't seem to notice and had constantly been talking to her.

At first, Tea was happy about Yami hanging out with her more, but soon realized she liked Yugi better than his yami. He (Yugi) was always considerate and didn't boss her around, like Yami did. Oh well, she had broken up with Yami a couple months ago and had tried to tell Yugi and how she felt, but he always seemed distracted and it almost seemed like he was avoiding her. But today she would finally tell him today, at the arcade.

Just then, her phone rang. "Hello. Who is this?"

"Tea, it's Yami."

"Oh, hello Yami, how are you today?"

"I'm fine, but, um, Yugi is in the hospital..."

"..."

"Tea, are you there?"

"Yea, I'll meet you at Domino Hospital in about, 20 minuets?"

"Sure, see you then Tea." Yami answered then hung up the phone. 'Yugi, can't you see how much trouble you've caused?'

*BRRRRRRRING* Joey's alarm clock rang, as it fell off his shelf and slammed him on his head.

"OWW! Huh, wha-oh, just my dumb alarm clock, piece of junk, it never works." Joey muttered as he threw it across the room.

"It would work better if you didn't throw it across the room every morning." Joey's sister, Serenity, commented, highly amused. "Are you going to get up? It's almost 10!"

"Blah, blah, blah. I'm up already." Joey replied as he fell out of bed. (What style, what grace.) "I'm going to the arcade with my friends, what are you going to be doing?"

"I'm going over to Krystal and Robert's house to study. I know, no kissing, ect... Don't worry big brother, I'll be fine." With this she kissed Joey and ran out, calling "See ya tonight Joey!"

"Bye Serenity, see ya!" Joey called after her as the front door closed. Then after searching his room he found a fairly clean shirt and some not to dirty grass stained jeans. He then ran downstairs to find breakfast. He was looking forward to the day, but was, at the same time, worried for Yugi. Recently he seemed so withdrawn and quiet. At least Yami was hanging around with them a lot, but was it just him or did Yugi seem almost scared of Yami? No, that couldn't be. Joey shook his head and was just about to bolt out the door, when the phone rang. 'Shit, I'm gonna be late now!' he thought.

"Wadoya want?" he asked quickly.

"Joey, it's Yami. I'm afraid I have bad news Yugi is in the hospital. The others are going to meet up in about 15 min, will you be there?"

'Shit, poor Yugi.' "I'll be there Yami, later"

Tristan was sleeping and didn't awake when his alarm rang, or his TV blared. He finally did awake after the 5th ring of the telephone.

"Hello?"

"Tristan, is that you?"

"Yea, do you have any idea what time it is?"

"A little after 10, isn't it?"

"Yea, on a SATURDAY!!!! Barbarian!"

"Whatever, look I wanted to tell you-"

"Hang on, I'm not done. I know you want to get to the arcade but still, waking me up and among anther thing-"

"TRISTEN, SHUT UP!!!"

"Okay already, you don't have top shout."

"Tristan, I'm not going to say this again, shut up and listen until I'm done!"

"Okay."

"TRISTEN!"

"What?"

"For the last time, SHUT UP!! NOT ONE MORE WORD!!!"

"..."

"Very good. Okay, Yugi is in the hospital, and we are all going to meet in about 10 minutes. So far I know at least Tea and Joey are going to be there. Ryou will probably come as well. Are you going to?"

"..."

"Tristan..."

"..."

"Tristan, you can talk now."

"Oh, okay, I'll be there."

"Good bye Tristan."

"Later Yami" he replied as he hung up.

"RYOU"

"Yes Bakura?"

"This box thing with sound..."

"The television, what about it Bakura?"

"You well, um, need a new one"

"WHAT?"

"The cursed thing was insulting me."

"I give up."

"Um, Ryou, when do we get breakfast?"

"I'm almost done. Okay, Pancakes and bacon coming up."

"Looks good abiou...And It taste better."

"..."

"Ryou, hello, anyone home?" Bakura waved his hand in front of Ryou's face.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine."

"Yea right Ryou! What's wrong? You can't hide it from me."

"Okay Bakura. I'm worried about Yugi. Lately he has had some bruises, and we're not talking one of two, he's had a lot. He also seems extremely anxious when he talks to Tea of myself. He never says much anymore and hardly smiles. He's so, solitary. I'm worried that Yami may be hurting him in some way."

"I'm sure the idiotic pharaoh isn't THAT big a bozo. How long do you think this has been going on?"

"Several months. I noticed it about a month and a half ago, two weeks after Yugi saved us from getting killed and one week after Tea dumped Yami."

"I see. What's that infernal noise?"

"The Phone. Yes? Hi! Oh, I see, yes, what, I say, of course, okay see you soon."

"That was?" "Yami, Yugi is in the hospital. We're going to meet them in about 10 minutes at Domino hospital. Lets Go."

"Lets." Bakura growled.

"Seto! I was getting worried!" Mokuba, Seto's little brother said upon seeing his brother. "Don't do that again." He scolded.

"Sorry kid, something came up, actually I'm only going to stay her for a few minuets. What happened was, well, Mokuba, do you know what suicide is?"

"Huh? Yea I do Seto. Wait, do you mean someone-?"

"Not someone, Yugi. He is in the hospital and I stayed with him all night. I still should have called though."

"Seto, you're going back soon, right?"

"Well, yes I am. I take it you want to come?"

Yes, if I can."

"Of course can Mokuba. I'm sure Yugi would love to see you."

"Excuse me, Master Kaiba," Seto's butler said.

""What" an annoyed Kaiba replied.

"Phone for you."

"Oh for the love of, Mokuba, get ready, okay?"

"Sure Seto."

Seto walked to his extension and picked it up. "Kaiba. Yes. Yami! No, I don't want to talk to you. What! Fine, okay, I understand." Kaiba cursed as he hung up the phone. 'Prideful Basted' he thought darkly.
